We may be only three weeks into December, but artist Jonnie Hartman has been in the holiday spirit for months, designing and building the Grand America Holiday Window Stroll.

The goal with each window stroll is to create playful and uplifting displays (展示), according to Hartman. “I really try to do something lighthearted, something whimsical, that is, something everyone can connect with and maybe not see every day in the real world,” Hartman said.

She designs all of the window displays by hand, starting with pencil sketches, then illustrating the designs on her puter and sending parts of the drawings to be printed. From there, Hartman works with a team of five people to build the displays, creating, sewing and embellishing (润色) many elements by hand.

However, a challenge Hartman has faced over the years as she has designed the displays is making sure all of the measurements are right for elements to fit inside the windows.

“When I was in college, I was an art major, and I thought, ‘I don’t need math. I will never use it. I’m an artist,’ and guess what, it’s the most important thing that I use, ‘‘Hartman said. “If I don’t get that right, then the windows don’t fit, the pieces don’t e together and it just doesn’t work out.”

The holiday window stroll gives Hartman a unique opportunity to hear feedback from those who observe her creations, which is something she doesn’t always get to experience with her other artworks. She said it’s fun to hear people’s reactions as they go through the holiday window stroll.

“It just makes me happy that I can kind of set the tone for people’s holiday season and just maybe bring a smile to their face,” Hartman said.

24．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “whimsical” in Paragraph 2? A. Serious. B. Exciting. C. Unusual. D. Ordinary.

25．What challenges Hartman most in designing the displays? A. The pattern. B. The fit. C. The colour. D. The teamwork.

26．What does Hartman think about math now?

A. She values it very much. B. She still thinks it’s useless.

C. It is a piece of cake for her. D. It’s not suitable for her to learn. 27．Why is the holiday window stroll unique for Hartman? A. It just can make her happy. B. She has a chance to create by hand. C. It can help improve her other artworks. D. She can get some remarks from the viewers.

Honesty is the best policy. We may agree that admitting mistakes and behaving in a genuine way is the right way to lead our lives, but is there something in our human nature that makes

us immoral? For example, in some shops and car parks you can find an honesty box—a box where you pay for something by putting money in it—but it relies on you putting the right amount of cash in. This relies on people being honest and not trying to cheat but it does provide a temptation to get away with not paying the full amount．

Philip Graves, a psychologist, suggests that this temptation is part of our evolution. He says:“ We have evolved with the ability to be dishonest. It's part of our evolutionary psychological make-up-because if we can gain an advantage over the people around us, we have a greater chance of surviving．”

So why do we place such importance on being honest if we benefit from being dishonest? It’s because it is selfish behavior. If everybody acted selfishly and dishonestly all the time, the world would be a very unpleasant place. As Philip Graves says:“ There is a balance to strike between the extent to which we can feather our own nest, so to speak, and the risk of being ostracized(排斥)by the group．”So, for societies to work together we need to trust each other and therefore we need to be honest．

Being trustworthy with money is of course vital for an economy to survive. But being honest with words is another matter, saying what we think to someone can get us into hot water. However, a new anonymous messaging app has been designed that lets anyone with a link to your profile(简介)to send you a message without knowing who it’s from. The app now has 300 million users which perhaps indicates how honest we really like to be—but in all honesty, do you want to know what people think about you? Is honesty always the best policy? 28．What does an honesty box require people to do? A. Get the change out of it freely． B. Put the correct amount of money in it． C. Donate the pocket money to others． D. Pay a larger amount of money．

29．According to Philip Graves, being dishonest________． A. is a disadvantage B. should be advocated C. is part of our evolution D. helps people survive, better

30．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The reason for being honest B. The benefit of being dishonest
