Empathy

r.
r. )
mpathy is the ability to understand another person's thoughts
a d feelings. Empathetic people really can, as they say, "put
emselves in someone else's shoes."
Empathy is not the same thing as sympathy. While both words
refer to the ability to understand another person's emotions,
sympathy is less complex. It usually just means the ability to feel
sorry for someone. (And feeling sympathy is not necessarily even
kind - because sympathetic people may actually feel superior to
the individuals they feel sorry for.) On the other hand, empathy
requires you to actually experience the thoughts and emotions of
the other person.
The process seems to be fairly simple: when we observe
another person (their movements, facial expressions, or voice),
our own bodies react in a similar way, and we recreate this same
emotion within ourselves. We know that this ability appears quite
early in life. For example, babies only a few months old react to (
their mother's smile or frown by smiling or frowning back. By the (
age of two, children may show signs of "feeling" another person's (
joy or pain. For example, if someone near them cries, they may
suddenly become quiet and appear to be very sad themselves -
even though they probably don't know why they feel this way.
They may even try to comfort the other person by patting the
person on the arm or shoulder.

True False It doesn't say.

l. Empathy is a simpler emotion than sympathy. D D D 1.
2. Most people's emotions are limited. D D D 2.
3. Empathy means actually experiencing the same D D D 3._
emotion as another person.
4. A two-year-old child can understand when people D D D 4.
are sad.

arth Day is a yearly holiday that is dedicated to protecting the world's

natural resources. The first Earth Day, which took place on April 22,
(
1970, was organized by an American senator as a nationwide protest
(
against the increasing destruction of the environment. It drew about 20
million participants. Many people consider it to be the birthday of the
( modern environmental movement. It is estimated that in that 1.
year, over 200 million participants in 136 different countries took part in
(
Earth Day celebrations.

( On Earth Day, some people may attend lectures and exhibits to learn
about environmental problems such as
(
deforestation and air and water pollution.
Others may volunteer to participate
( in hands-on activities such as picking
up litter or planting trees, or simply
engage in fun activities such as hiking or
bird-watching.

c. And people are only starting to understand the possibly disastrous effects of global
warming and other trends.
d. By 1990, interest in issues related to the environment had spread around the world.

Barbara Ugh! This place is a mess. We really need to get it
( cleaned up.
Jim Well, how about we do a good spring cleaning in
a few weeks ... when it gets a bit warmer?
Barbara But my parents are coming to visit us next week.
You didn't forget, did you?
( Jim Oops! Well, not exactly, but .. .
r Barbara What are we going to do about getting ready?
You'll have to help me get the cleaning done next
weekend.
Jim But I won't be here. Remember? I'll be traveling
all week for work, and I don't get back until late
Sunday.
Barbara Oh, no! I thought you were coming back on
Saturday.
Jim No. Sorry.. .. Maybe what we need is to have a
(
cleaning company come in for a day.
Barbara You know I don't like to have other people clean
the house ....
Jim Yeah. Although, to be honest, I've never
understood why.
Barbara Basically, I don't like having a stranger come into
( the house. And the other thing is, I like to have
things cleaned in a certain way, and it's not easy
( to get someone to do that.
Jim So you'll be doing all the cleaning yourself, then?
Barbara I really don't want to do that. I'll be cleaning
( all weekend .... Shoot! So maybe you're right.
If we can get someone to come in one day this
( weekend, that would help a lot. But how do we
go about getting someone?
C Jim Tell you what. Let me worry about that. The first
C thing to do is ...
(
1. Liz I think I'm generally pretty careful with my
money. I don't make a lot, so I have to be. I
don't use my credit cards often, and when I do,
I payoff the amount right away. So I don't have
a lot of debt. The only problem is - I haven't
been able to save anything for a rainy day.
2. Peter I make pretty good money, but I spend a lot,
too. I don't really keep track of my money.
I mean, I don't have a monthly budget or
anything. The good thing is that I invest in
stocks and bonds every month. It's being taken
out of my paycheck automatically.
3. Sonia I guess you would say I've always been more of
a spender than a saver. I love to go shopping. I
usually charge things to my credit cards, and I
am a few thousand dollars in debt. But I've cut
down on my expenses recently, and I hope that
in a year or so, I'll have paid everything off.
4. Dennis I'm a student, so I don't have a lot of money
to spend. My parents pay for my expenses,
and I'm taking out student loans to pay for my
education. That worries me a little because, by
the time I finish my degree, I'll have built up
a lot of debt to payoff. But I'm trying not to
think too much about that right now.
