12、onon thethe ANSWERANSWER SHEETSHEET(40(40 points)points)TextText 1 1Unlike so-called basic emotions such as sadness,fear,and anger,guilt emerges alittle later,in conjunction with a childs growing grasp of social and moral norms.Children arent born knowing how to say Im sorry”;rather,they learn over

13、timethatsuch statements appease parents and friends-and their own consciences.Thisis whyresearchers generally regard so-called moral guilt,in the right amount,to be agoodthing.In the popular imagination,of course,guilt still gets a bad rap.It is deeplyuncomfortable-its the emotional equivalent of we

14、aring a jacket weighted withstones.Yet this understanding is outdated.There has been a kind of revival or a rethinkingabout what guilt is and what role guilt can serve,says Amrisha Vaish,a psychologyresearcher at the University of Virginia,adding that this revival is part of a largerrecognition that

15、 emotions arent binary-feelings that may be advantageous in onecontext may be harmful in another.Jealousy and anger,for example,may haveevolved to alert us to important inequalities.Too much happiness can be destructive.And guilt,by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness,canencourage h

16、umans to make up for errors and fix relationships.Guilt,in other words,can help hold a cooperative species together.It is a kind of social glue.Viewed in this light,guilt is an opportunity.Work by Tina Malti,a psychologyprofessor at the University of Toronto,suggests that guilt may compensate for an

17、emotional deficiency.In a number of studies,Malti and others have shown that guiltand sympathy may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing Some kidswho are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt,which can rein in their nastier impulses.And vice vers

18、a:High sympathy cansubstitutefor low guilt.In a 2014 study,for example,Malti looked at 244 children Using caregiverassessments and the childrens self-observations,she rated each childs overallsympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moraltransgressions.Then the kids wer

19、e handed chocolate coins,and given a chance toshared them with an anonymous child.For the low-sympathy kids,how much theyshared appeared to turn on how inclined they were to feel guilty.The guilt-proneonesshared more,even though they hadnt magically become more sympathetic to theother childs depriva

24、their ability to do so.The climatechange we are hastening could one day leave us with forests that emit more carbonthan they absorb.Thankfully,there is a way out of this trap.but it involves striking a subtlebalance.Helping forests flourish as valuablecarbon sinks long into the futuremayrequire redu

25、cing their capacity to absorb carbon now,California is leading theway,asit does on so many climate efforts,in figuring out the details.The states proposed Forest Carbon Plan aims to double efforts to thin out youngtrees and clear brush in parts of the forest.This temporarily lowers carbon-carryingca

26、pacity.But the remaining trees draw a greater share of the available moisture,sothey grow and thrive,restoring the forests capacity to pull carbon from the air.Healthy trees are also better able to fend off insects.The landscape is renderedlesseasily burnable.Even in the event of a fire,fewer trees

27、are consumed.The need for such planning is increasingly urgent.Already,since 2010,droughtand insects have killed over 100million trees in California,most of them in 2016alone,and wildfires have burned hundreds of thousands of acres.California plans to treat 35,000 acres of forest a year by 2020,and

28、60,00 by2030-financed from the proceeds of the state s emissions-permit auctions,Thatsonly a small share of the total acreage that could benefit,about half a millionacres inall,so it will be vital to prioritize areas at greatest risk of fire or drought.The strategy also aims to ensure that carbon in

29、 woody material removed from theforests is locked away in the form of solid lumber or burned as biofuel in vehiclesthatwould otherwise run on fossil fuels.New research on transportation biofuels isalready under way.State governments are well accustomed to managing forests,but traditionallytheyve foc

30、used on wildlife,watersheds and opportunities for recreation.Onlyrecently have they come to see the vital part forests will have to play in storingcarbon.Califormias plan,which is expected to be finalized by the governor next year,shouldserve as a model.26.By saying one of the harder challenges,the

35、e straightforward visa foragricultural workers that would let foreign workers stay longer in the U.S.andchangejobs within the industry.If this doesnt change.American munities,andconsumers will be the losers.Perhaps half of U.S.farm laborers are undocumentedimmigrants.As fewer suchworkers enter the c

39、st workersusing the H-2A visa to fill the gaps in the workforce.Starting around 2012,requestsfor the visas rose sharply;from 2011 to 2016 the number of visas issued more thandoubled.The H-2A visa has no numerical cap,unlike the H-2B visa for nonagriculturalwork which is limited to 66,000 a year.Even

40、 so,employers complain they arentgiven all the workers they need.The process is cumbersome,expensive,and unreliable.One survey found that bureaucratic delays led the average H-2A worker to arrive onthe job 22 days late.The shortage is compounded by federal immigration raids,whichremove some workers

41、and drive others underground.In a 2012 survey,71 percent of tree-fruit growers and nearly 80 percent of raisinand berry growers said they were short of labor.Some western growers haveresponded by moving operations to Mexico.From 1998-2000,14.5 percent of thefruit Americans consumed was imported.Litt
