substitute for single-use plasticpackaging.Although some of Notpla s products are suitable to be eaten,they are designed to bedissolved（溶解）after usage.The company s film wrap is made of seaweed lining instead of aconventional plastic-based coating.This makes the film fully biodegradable and ideal for use as packagingfor cupboard and bathroom supplies like coffee and toilet paper.According to the United Nations,331 million kilograms of plastic garbage is produced annuallyaround the world.Roughly 60%of the estimated 9.15 billion tons of plastic produced since the early 1950shas been taken to landfills or abandoned outdoors.Plastics harm the water,the air,and our bodies.Many experts agree that single-use plastics areunnecessary and dangerous.Some governments and towns in the United States have taken action.NewYork has banned most plastic shopping bags,while plastic straws（吸管）have been banned in MiamiBeach.Overseas,India stated in August that it plans to put a wide ban on single-use plastics this upcomingsummer,with the European Union already implnmentiug this ban.Seaweed comes in a variety of species and can be harvested or farmed.Notpla uses plants that havebeen farmed.Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez and Pierre Paslie,the inventors of Notplajnitially consideredseaweed as a solution to the world s plastic problem for several reasons.Seaweed is abundant and growsquickly.Additionally,it doesn t compete with land crops and is highly favored for its ability to removesome waste products like carbon from the atmosphere.In cooperation with the online food ordering service Just Eat,Notpla recently tested its product.Lastyear,the two companies handed out 30,000 takeaway boxes at various UK restaurants.Plans are in theworks to offer the boxes across

performance and relative performance.Absolute performance reflects the rawmeasurement of something,like the time it takes to run a mile.Relative performance is how a person ratesin relation to their peers,as in what place a runner gets in a race.The standards we use to evaluate ourselves are almost always relative,as we compare ourselves to ourpeers and the standards that are most familiar to us.For instance,in my private practice,!have one patient Iwill call“Omar”who is dependent on social services and makes less than$30,000 per year at hisjob.While this level of poverty would lead most people to wake up depressed each day,Omar is one of themost optimistic and appreciative individuals I know.Why?Because most of his closest peers-his siblingsand friends from childhood-have lives far worse than his.In contrast to Omar,I have another patient,an adolescent I 1 1 call“Lena”,whose family has propertyover$5 million.Lena,however,lives in an upper-class neighborhood where her family is at the lower end ofthe income level.Though Lena*s family allows her to enjoy possessions and experiences that less than 1percent of her peers across the world can share,she consistently feels“less than,.Why?Because Lenadoesn t compare herself to the rest of the world.This is too abstract an exercise for her,as it would be formost of us.Accordingly,whether a psychologist is psychodynamic or cognitive-behavioral,the therapy（疗法）withindividuals struggling with situational or psychological depression aims to solve the problems associatedwith basing one s self-worth on comparisons with others.Psychologists try to help people focus onpersonal growth around the achievement of concrete goals in line with their values independent of theachievement of others.For all of us,defining these goals,especially during periods of emotional calm,can goa long way in helping us to avoid the trap of relativity that often leads to situational and psychologicaldepression.12.What is the function of paragraph 1?A.To show the significance of evaluating people.B.To motivate readers to study psychological tests.C.To help people perform well in psychological tests.D.To provide some background information on evaluating people.13.Why does the author mention his two patients?A.To measure different achievements.B.To introduce the standards to evaluate people.C.To explain relative performance with examples.D.To contrast relative performance and absolute performance.14.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.Setting goals in life is essential for everyone.B.It,s important to avoid unhealthy comparisons.C.A sense of achievement can affect one s happiness.D.Improving self-worth can help get rid of depression.15.What is the best title for the text?A.Happiness:Is It All Relative?B.Self-worth:Is It Measurable?C.Self-worth:Is It Based on Efforts?D.Happiness:Is It Associated with Achievement?II.七选五（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满 分12.5分）According to The Tohoku Journal of Experimental
