• 2．A 63-year-old Chinese carpenter's traditional skills have become an unexpected Internet hit as he creates woodwork with a single piece of wood，without glue，screws or nails.Wang De wen，known as "Grandpa Amu" on YouTube，has been praised as the modern day Lu Ban，a well-known Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty，thanks to his rich carpentry（木工手藝） knowledge.
     Grandpa Amu's most popular video，which shows him making a delicate wooden arch bridge，has gone viral on YouTube，gaining more than 40 million views. "If you do something，you have to love it，and you have to be interested in it；however，being interested doesn't mean there's only happiness and no pain."

"The grandson is so happy，as there have been so many fine and unique toys made by grandpa from an early age，" commented one netizen；while another said "It's amazing.I hope these traditional crafts can be passed on!"

• 3．Time famine（饑荒），a term refers to the universal feeling of having too much to do but not enough time to deal with those demands.Spending money on time-saving purchases may protect you from effects time famine can have on your happiness，suggests a new study of which Ashley Whillans served as a lead author.Whillans has experienced that recently，who was trying to move to a new city for a new job，and felt there weren't enough hours in the days leading up to her move.
     "Then I have groceries delivered to my house.I have someone that I don't know move away my boxes，which brings up a whole bunch of feelings.I honestly think，if it wasn't for doing this research and the move，I might have had some concern about those purchases，" Whillans says. "It requires forward planning and mental abilities to think forward.But that indeed reduces negative effects of feeling stressed for time."
     The new study included self-reported data on 6，271 adults of various income levels from various countries.The researchers found that，regardless of their levels，spending money on buying time was associated with greater life satisfaction and less anxiety.On the surface，the study may seem like it's offering a solution only for the affluent，but it also points out how time famine and buying time influence us all. "I think our research actually flies in the face of the prejudgement on time-saving purchases，" says Elizabeth Dunn，a co-author of the study. "Sometimes when people imagine time-saving services maybe what they're picturing is a housekeeper，maids，and a gardener，but what we're talking about is that just spending ＄40 makes a difference."
     "Actually，the thing that surprised me most from our findings is how few people actually spend their money in a way that we would classify as being time-saving，even when they have the ability and when doing so may benefit overall wellbeing and life satisfaction，" Dunn says.She adds they planned to conduct follow-up studies on the phenomenon. "I believe we can figure it out."
  
  （1）What has Whillans learned from her recent experience？

  
  A．Asking strangers for help is uneasy.
  B．Buying time improves mental abilities.
  C．Forward planning is a must for researchers.
  D．Saving time by spending money is worthwhile.
  （2）What does "affluent" underlined in paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．busy.
  B．wealthy.
  C．a(chǎn)nxious.
  D．public.
  （3）What will the researchers study next？

  
  A．Measures to deal with time famine.
  B．Ways to persuade people to buy time.
  C．People's opinions on time-saving services.
  D．Reasons people are unwilling to buy time.
  （4）Which of the following could be the best title for the text？
