Over the last three and a half years, the anti-littering woman has spent most of her free time picking up cigarette butts (烟头) from the streets of her home city.Called the “Butt Lady” by her local community, Dawly began her mission to rid the streets of her city of cigarette butts in October, 2014. The woman looked for cigarette butts, picked them up and threw them in the trash. To keep a count of how many butts she picks up, the Butt Lady has been using a tablet, and earlier this month, she hit a historic milestone—one million cigarette butts.“I got tired of going on my walks and seeing cigarette butts everywhere,” Sally Dawly said. “I’m just shocked that I had to pick up so many. I’ve ever picked up 3,000 butts in one day,” she said. “Don’t throw away your butts; better yet, stop smoking.”With so many cigarette butts littering the streets, can one person’s efforts really make a difference? Surprisingly, the answer seems to be yes. Soon after the Butt Lady of Auburn started her mission and word of her efforts spread, cigarette cans started appearing around bars and restaurants in the city. Members of the local community even came out to cheer her on as she approached her one-million-butt milestone.Sally knows her city’s cigarette butt littering problem won’t be solved anytime soon, but she hopes her work will inspire people to at least think twice before dropping cigarette butts in the streets. She has decided to continue cleaning up after irresponsible smokers, and already has a new milestone in her sights—two million cigarette butts.Word of the Butt Lady’s efforts to keep the streets cigarette butt-free has reached neighboring communities as well, and CBS Sacramento reports that other cities have started seeking her help as well.4. Why does Sally Dawly carry an iPad with her while picking up the butts?A．To entertain the crowds.B．To monitor the smokers.C．To attract people’s attention.D．To record the number of butts.5. How did Sally Dawly feel when picking up cigarette butts?A．Excited but upset. B．Shocked and sorryC．Frightened but content. D．Astonished and desperate.6. From the text. what can be inferred about Sally Dawly?A．She picks up nearly 3,000 cigarette butts every day.B．She will work in other cities in California in the future.C．She has set a new goal of picking up two million cigarette butts.D．She picked up one million cigarette butts with members of her community.7. What is the text mainly about?A．California’s “Butt Lady”.B．Fighting against smoking.C．Californians health problems.D．Smoking problems in California.We've all experienced it. We invite a friend to dinner, only to learn that she is the dreaded "V-word". Vegan is someone who allows a diet that contains no animal meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, or any other food that comes from animals. They differ from vegetarians, who generally still eat dairy and eggs as part of their diets. Vegans also typically abstain from using any other products that come from animals, such as honey and leather jackets.Back in 2008, vegans only accounted for around 0.5 percent of the U. S. population, or about one million people. As of polls taken in 2014, vegans now make up roughly 2.5 percent of the population. At least in the United States, women seem to be far bigger fans of veganism, making up around 79 percent of vegans.People on a vegan diet tend to be leaner. In a cross-sectional study of nearly 40,000 adults, meat eaters had the highest mean body mass index, or BMI. Vegetarians were in the middle, and vegans had the lowest. Based on several studies from Finland, some scientists have suggested that vegan diets may be helpful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(类风湿性关节炎). Vegans also appear to have lower rates of hypertension(高血压) than both meat eaters and vegetarians. Vegans also typically have lower cardio metabolic(心脏代谢) risks for conditions like heart disease or strokes.While there certainly may be some health advantages in going vegan, there seems to be some common deficiencies in the diet. One of these deficiencies is with the vitamin B-12. The ADA states that there are no natural plant foods that contain any significant amount of the vitamin. Vegans can still get it, but they need to take a vitamin or consume fortified foods like soy milk and certain breakfast cereals. Omega-3 fatty acids(欧米珈-3 脂肪酸) are also very difficult to come by on a vegan diet, but this can be overcome through the consumption of algae(海藻) supplements. With vegans requiring supplementation to meet their nutritional needs, it supports the claim that veganism is unnatural, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's unhealthy.Many health organizations, including the ADA, state that well-planned vegan diets are healthy and nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certaindiseases. It seems like no matter what your dietary preferences are, a healthy lifestyle can be achieved on or off a vegan diet.8. Which example illustrates he/she is a vegan?A．His/Her diet is made up of large amounts of plant-based carbohydrates.B．He/She eats meat on special occasions, usually pork, as well as small amounts of fish on a weekly basis.C．He/She believes small amounts of animal products are vital to good health, and they insist on eating them every day.D．He/She fries French fries by animal oil.9. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A．Finland is the leading country in the world to study veganism.B．Vegetarians had the highest mean BMI.C．Vegan diets may be helpful in the treatment of cancer.D．The number of vegan in the U. S. is on the rise.10. Vitamin B-12 can be got from _______.A．various vegetables B．soy milk and cerealsC．water D．sunbath11. What is the writer's attitude towards going vegan?A．Objective. B．Subjective.C．Critical. D．Disapproval.ChatGPT is a new AI system that sounds so human in conversations that it could host its own radio programs. Reading between its instantly generated, perfectly grammatical lines, people see different visions of the future. Without doubt, ChatGPT is impressive.Some compare the emergenc e of ChatGPT to the impact of the iPhone, but that doesn’t do it justice. ChatGPT, as well as the generative AI that will follow and outsmart it, is more disruptive. And yet, that doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the world is upon us. On the contrary, C hatGPT, I would argue, might serve to make us more aware of our irreplaceable human qualities.Take the creative act, writing in particular, as an example. If you want it to, the AI-powered chatbot always produces something because it has the whole world of online data to draw from. But unlike us, it lacks the consciousness. Thinking is hard, critical thinking even harder, and ChatGPT isn’t good at either. It just restates what has already been said; it is one big recycling machine.There is another obvious limitation of ChatGPT. Philosopher Harry Frankfurt once claimed: the difference between a bullshitter (胡说八道的人) and a liar is that the liar knows what the truth is butdecides to take the opposite direction; a bullshitter, however, has no regard for the truth at all. The AI scholar Gary Marcus applies this distinction to ChatGPT. He believes that we have reached a critical point when “the price of bullshit reaches zero and people who want to spread misinformation, either politically or just to make a profit, start doing that plentifully”. Unfortunately, ChatGPT will reproduce misinformation from any of its input sources — it is not an intelligent system that tries to balance or weight different perspectives. In this sense, everything that ChatGPT writes is bullshit.This is why the so-called AIQ is critical. It is actually an extension and a measurement of our human IQ: our overall knowledge of AI tools, our mastery of clues, and our ethical awareness. ChatGPT is going to change everything and nothing. Creativity, imagination and ethics — these will all remain unique human domains. It is the AI’s very limitations that will make us appreciate our own.12. What can we learn about ChatGPT?A．It helps generate an artificial voice.B．It provides instructions on writing skills.C．It generates natural language responses.D．It offers a service for language learning.13. What does the underlined word “disruptive” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Evil.B．Reliable.C．Profitable.D．Revolutionary.14. Why does the author consider ChatGPT as a bullshit generator?A．It makes up lies constantly.B．It can’t tell right from wrong.C．It often makes unfair judgement.D．It always takes a neutral standpoint.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．ChatGPT Makes Us HumanB．ChatGPT Is Causing Panic NowC．ChatGPT: Treat It Like a Toy, Not a ToolD．ChatGPT:Why It Is Bound to Generate BullshitWhat is mental health?Mental health is an expression we use every day, so it might surprise yo u that the term ‘mental health’ is frequently misunderstood. 16According to the WHO, however, mental health is “a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can deal with the normal stresses of life, can work fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.”17To make things a bit clearer, some experts have tried coming up with different terms to explain the difference between ‘mental health’ and ‘mental health conditions’, such as ‘good mental health’,‘mental well-being’, and even ‘happiness’. 18As a result, some of them have tried to explain the difference by talking about a continuous whole where mental health is at one end of the range while mental health conditions are at the other.Research shows that high levels of mental health are associated with increased learning, creativity and productivity. 19 In contrast, mental health conditions can cause distress and bad effect on relationships. They are also related to poor physical health and death from suicide.20 The fact that someone is not experiencing a mental health condition doesn’t necessarily mean his mental health is good. Likewise, it’s possible to be diagnosed with a mental health condition while feeling well in many aspects of life.Briefly, mental health is about being emotionally and socially healthy – the way we think, feel and develop relationships - and not merely the absence of a mental health condition.It is dark now when I begin my early morning walk in the woods.

Judgment and Decision Making,V ol.10,No.6,November2015,pp.549–563On the reception and detection of pseudo-profound bullshitGordon Pennycook∗James Allan Cheyne†Nathaniel Barr‡Derek J.Koehler†Jonathan A.Fugelsang†AbstractAlthough bullshit is common in everyday life and has attracted attention from philosophers,its reception(critical or ingen-uous)has not,to our knowledge,been subject to empirical investigation.Here we focus on pseudo-profound bullshit,which consists of seemingly impressive assertions that are presented as true and meaningful but are actually vacuous.We presented participants with bullshit statements consisting of buzzwords randomly organized into statements with syntactic structure but no discernible meaning(e.g.,“Wholeness quiets infinite phenomena”).Across multiple studies,the propensity to judge bull-shit statements as profound was associated with a variety of conceptually relevant variables(e.g.,intuitive cognitive style, supernatural belief).Parallel associations were less evident among profundity judgments for more conventionally profound(e.g.,“A wet person does not fear the rain”)or mundane(e.g.,“Newborn babies require constant attention”)statements.Theseresults support the idea that some people are more receptive to this type of bullshit and that detecting it is not merely a matter of indiscriminate skepticism but rather a discernment of deceptive vagueness in otherwise impressive sounding claims.Our re-sults also suggest that a bias toward accepting statements as true may be an important component of pseudo-profound bullshit receptivity.Keywords:bullshit,bullshit detection,dual-process theories,analytic thinking,supernatural beliefs,religiosity,conspiratorial ideation,complementary and alternative medicine.1Introduction“It is impossible for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth.Producing bullshit requires no such con-viction.”–Harry FrankfurtIn On Bullshit,the philosopher Frankfurt(2005)defines bullshit as something that is designed to impress but that was constructed absent direct concern for the truth.This distinguishes bullshit from lying,which entails a deliberate manipulation and subversion of truth(as understood by the liar).There is little question that bullshit is a real and con-sequential phenomenon.Indeed,given the rise of commu-nication technology and the associated increase in the avail-ability of information from a variety of sources,both expert and otherwise,bullshit may be more pervasive than ever be-fore.Despite these seemingly commonplace observations, we know of no psychological research on bullshit.Are peo-ple able to detect blatant bullshit?Who is most likely to fall prey to bullshit and why?Funding for this study was provided by the Natural Sciences and En-gineering Research Council of Canada.Copyright:©2015.The authors license this article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution3.0License.∗Department of Psychology,University of Waterloo,200Univer-sity Avenue West,Waterloo ON,Canada,N2L3G1.Email:gpen-nyco@uwaterloo.ca.†Department of Psychology,University of Waterloo.‡The School of Humanities and Creativity,Sheridan College.2Pseudo-profound bullshitThe Oxford English Dictionary defines bullshit as,simply,“rubbish”and“nonsense”,which unfortunately does not get to the core of bullshit.Consider the following statement:“Hidden meaning transforms unparalleled ab-stract beauty.”Although this statement may seem to convey some sort of potentially profound meaning,it is merely a collection of buzzwords put together randomly in a sentence that retains syntactic structure.The bullshit statement is not merely non-sense,as would also be true of the following,which is not bullshit:“Unparalleled transforms meaning beauty hiddenabstract”.The syntactic structure of a),unlike b),implies that it was constructed to communicate something.Thus,bullshit,in contrast to mere nonsense,is something that implies but does not contain adequate meaning or truth.This sort of phenomenon is similar to what Buekens and Boudry(2015) referred to as obscurantism(p.1):“[when]the speaker... [sets]up a game of verbal smoke and mirrors to suggest depth and insight where none exists.”Our focus,however,is somewhat different from what is found in the philosophy of bullshit and related phenomena(e.g.,Black,1983;Buekens &Boudry,2015;Frankfurt;2005).Whereas philosophers549have been primarily concerned with the goals and intentions of the bullshitter,we are interested in the factors that pre-dispose one to become or to resist becoming a bullshittee. Moreover,this sort of bullshit–which we refer to here as pseudo-profound bullshit–may be one of many different types.We focus on pseudo-profound bullshit because it rep-resents a rather extreme point on what could be considered a spectrum of bullshit.We can say quite confidently that the above example(a)is bullshit,but one might also label an exaggerated story told over drinks to be bullshit.In future studies on bullshit,it will be important to define the type of bullshit under investigation(see Discussion for further com-ment on this issue).Importantly,pseudo-profound bullshit is not trivial.For a real-world example of pseudo-profound bullshit and an ap-plication of our logic,consider the following:“Attention and intention are the mechanics ofmanifestation.”This statement bears a striking resemblance to(a),but is (presumably)not a random collection of words.Rather,it is an actual“tweet”sent by Deepak Chopra,M.D.,who has authored numerous books with titles such as Quantum Heal-ing(Chopra,1989)and The Soul of Leadership(Chopra, 2008)and who has been accused of furthering“woo-woo nonsense”(i.e.,pseudo-profound bullshit; e.g.,Shermer, 2010).The connection between(a)and(c)is not inci-dental,as(a)was derived using the very buzzwords from Chopra’s“Twitter”feed.1The vagueness of(c)indicates that it may have been constructed to impress upon the reader some sense of profundity at the expense of a clear exposition of meaning or truth.Despite the lack of direct concern for truth noted by Frankfurt(2005),pseudo-profound bullshit betrays a con-cern for verisimilitude or truthiness.We argue that an im-portant adjutant of pseudo-profound bullshit is vagueness which,combined with a generally charitable attitude toward ambiguity,may be exacerbated by the nature of recent me-dia.As a prime example,the necessary succinctness and rapidity of“Twitter”(140characters per“Tweet”)may be particularly conducive to the promulgation of bullshit.Im-portantly,vagueness and meaning are,by definition,at cross purposes,as the inclusion of vagueness obscures the mean-ing of the statement and therefore must undermine or mask “deep meaning”(i.e.,profundity)that the statement purports to convey.The concern for“profundity”reveals an impor-tant defining characteristic of bullshit(in general):that it attempts to impress rather than to inform;to be engaging rather than instructive.1This example came from .See Method section of Study1for further details.3Bullshit receptivityWhat might cause someone to erroneously rate pseudo-profound bullshit as profound?In our view,there are two candidate mechanisms that might explain a general“recep-tivity”to bullshit.Thefirst mechanism relates to the pos-sibility that some people may have a stronger bias toward accepting things as true or meaningful from the outset.Ac-cording to Gilbert(1991,following Spinoza),humans must first believe something to comprehend it.In keeping with this hypothesis,Gilbert,Tafarodi and Malone(1993)found that depleting cognitive resources caused participants to er-roneously believe information that was tagged as false.This indicates that people have a response bias toward accepting something as true.This asymmetry between belief and un-belief may partially explain the prevalence of bullshit;we are biased toward accepting bullshit as true and it there-fore requires additional processing to overcome this bias. Nonetheless,it should be noted that previous work on belief and doubt focused on meaningful propositions such as“The heart produces all mental activity.”The startling possibility with respect to pseudo-profound bullshit is that people will first accept the bullshit as true(or meaningful)and,depend-ing on downstream cognitive mechanisms such as conflict detection(discussed below),either retain a default sense of meaningfulness or invoke deliberative reasoning to assess the truth(or meaningfulness)of the proposition.In terms of individual differences,then,it is possible that some indi-viduals approach pseudo-profound bullshit with a stronger initial expectation for meaningfulness.However,since this aspect of bullshit receptivity relates to one’s mindset when approaching(or being approached with)bullshit,it is there-fore not specific to bullshit.Nonetheless,it may be an im-portant component of bullshit receptivity.Put differently, some individuals may have an excessively“open”mind that biases them to make inflated judgments of profundity,re-gardless of the content.The second mechanism relates to a potential inability to detect bullshit,which may cause one to confuse vagueness for profundity.In the words of Sperber(2010):“All too often,what readers do is judge profound what they have failed to grasp”(p.583).Here,the bullshittee is simply un-aware that the relevant stimulus requires special considera-tion.This mechanism is linked to what has been labelled as “conflict monitoring”failures(e.g.,De Neys,2014;Penny-cook,Fugelsang&Koehler,2015).In the context of reason-ing research,for example,conflict monitoring is necessary when two sources of information in a problem cue conflict-ing responses(e.g.,logical validity and conclusion believ-ability in a syllogism).Recent research indicates that peo-ple are capable of detecting these sorts of conflicts(see De Neys,2012for a review),but that conflict monitoring fail-ures are nonetheless an important source of bias in reason-ing and decision making(Pennycook,Fugelsang&Koehler,2015).Moreover,conflict detection is viewed as an im-portant low-level cognitive factor that causes at least some people to engage deliberative,analytic reasoning processes (Pennycook,Fugelsang&Koehler,2015).With respect to bullshit,there are likely many factors that may lead an in-dividual to successfully detect the need for skepticism that will depend on the type of bullshit encountered and the bull-shit context.For example,the source(perhaps a known bullshitter)may be particularly untrustworthy.Or,perhaps, the bullshit may conflict with common knowledge or spe-cific knowledge or expertise of the recipient.For the present investigation,we focus on pseudo-profound bullshit that is missing any obvious external cue that skepticism is required. The goal is to investigate whether there are consistent and meaningful individual differences in the ability to sponta-neously discern or detect pseudo-profound bullshit.Unlike response bias,this mechanism involves distinguishing bull-shit from non-bullshit.4The current investigationHere we report four studies in which we ask participants to rate pseudo-profound bullshit and other statements on a profundity scale.Our primary goal is to establish this as a legitimate measure of bullshit receptivity.For this,bull-shit profundity ratings are correlated with a collection of in-dividual difference factors that are conceptually related to pseudo-profound bullshit in a variety of ways.4.1Analytic thinkingDual-process theories of reasoning and decision making dis-tinguish between intuitive(“Type1”)processes that are au-tonomously cued and reflective(“Type2”)processes that are effortful,typically deliberative,and require working mem-ory(Evans&Stanovich,2013).A crucialfinding that has emerged from the dual-process literature is that the ability to reason involves a discretionary aspect(Stanovich,2011; Stanovich&West,2000);a distinction that has long histori-cal precedent(Baron,1985).Namely,to be a good reasoner, one must have both the capacity to do whatever computa-tion is necessary(i.e.,cognitive ability,intelligence)and the willingness to engage deliberative reasoning processes(i.e., analytic cognitive style;thinking disposition).Moreover, individual differences in analytic cognitive style are posi-tively correlated with conflict detection effects in reason-ing research(Pennycook,Cheyne,Barr,Koehler&Fugel-sang,2014;Pennycook,et al.,2015),indicating that more analytic individuals are either better able to detect conflict during reasoning or are more responsive to such conflict. Consistent with Sagan’s(1996)argument that critical think-ing facilitates“baloney detection”,we posit that reflective thinking should be linked to bullshit receptivity,such that people who are better at solving reasoning problems should be more likely to consider the specific meaning of the pre-sented statements(or lack thereof)and judge failure to dis-cern meaning as a possible defect of the statement rather than of themselves.In other words,more analytic individ-uals should be more likely to detect the need for additional scrutiny when exposed to pseudo-profound bullshit.More intuitive individuals,in contrast,should respond based on a sort offirst impression,which will be inflated due to the vagueness of the pseudo-profound bullshit.Analytic think-ing is thus the primary focus of our investigation,as it is most directly related to the proposed ability to detect blatant bullshit.4.2Ontological confusionsBoth children and adults tend to confuse aspects of real-ity(i.e.,“core knowledge”)in systematic ways(Lindeman, Svedholm-Hakkinen&Lipsanen,2015).Any category mis-take involving property differences between animate and inanimate or mental and physical,as examples,constitutes an ontological confusion.Consider the belief that prayers have the capacity to heal(i.e.,spiritual healing).Such beliefs are taken to result from conflation of mental phe-nomenon,which are subjective and immaterial,and physical phenomenon,which are objective and material(Lindeman, Svedholm-Hakkinen&Lipsanen,2015).On a dual-process view,ontological confusions constitute a failure to reflect on and inhibit such intuitive ontological confusions(Sved-holm&Lindeman,2013).Ontological confusions may also be supported by a bias toward believing the literal truth of statements.Thus,ontological confusions are conceptually related to both detection and response bias as mechanisms that may underlie bullshit receptivity.As such,the propen-sity to endorse ontological confusions should be linked to higher levels of bullshit receptivity.4.3Epistemically suspect beliefsBeliefs that conflict with common naturalistic conceptions of the world have been labelled epistemically suspect(e.g., Lobato et al.,2014;Pennycook,Fugelsang&Koehler,in press).For example,the belief in angels(and the corre-sponding belief that they can move through walls)conflicts with the common folk-mechanical belief that things cannot pass through solid objects(Pennycook et al.,2014).Epis-temically suspect beliefs,once formed,are often accompa-nied by an unwillingness to critically reflect on such be-liefs.Indeed,reflective thinkers are less likely to be re-ligious and paranormal believers(e.g.,Gervais&Noren-zayan,2012;Pennycook et al.,2012;Shenhav,Rand& Greene,2012),and are less likely to engage in conspira-torial ideation(Swami et al.,2014)or believe in the effi-cacy of alternative medicine(Browne et al.,2015;Linde-man,2011).Ontological confusions are also more com-mon among believers in the supernatural(e.g.,Lindeman, Svedholm-Hakkinen&Lipsanen,2015;Svedholm&Lin-deman,2013).Although epistemically suspect claims may or may not themselves qualify as bullshit,the lack of skepti-cism that underlies the acceptance of epistemically suspect claims should also promote positive bullshit receptivity.5Study1We presented participants with ten statements that have syn-tactic structure but that consist of a series of randomly se-lected vague buzzwords.Participants were asked to indicate the relative profundity of each statement on a scale from 1(not at all profound)to5(very profound).We argue that high ratings indicate receptivity toward bullshit.Par-ticipants also completed a series of relevant cognitive and demographic questions.6MethodIn all studies,we report how we determined our sample size, all data exclusions,and all measures.6.1ParticipantsUniversity of Waterloo undergraduates(N=280,58male, 222female,M age=20.9,SD age=4.8)volunteered to take part in the study in return for course credit.Only partici-pants who reported that English is theirfirst language(on a separate pre-screen questionnaire)were allowed to partic-ipate.The sample size was the maximum amount allowed for online studies in the University of Waterloo participant pool.This study was run over two semesters.One of the participants was removed due to a large num-ber of skipped questions.Participants were also given an attention check.For this,participants were shown a list of activities(e.g.,biking,reading)directly below the following instructions:“Below is a list of leisure activities.If you are reading this,please choose the“other”box below and type in‘I read the instructions’”.This attention check proved rather difficult with35.4%of the sample failing(N=99). However,the results were similar if these participants were excluded.We therefore retained the full data set.6.2MaterialsTen novel meaningless statements were derived from two websites and used to create a Bullshit Receptivity(BSR) scale.Thefirst,,constructs meaningless statements with appropriate syntactic struc-ture by randomly mashing together a list of words used in Deepak Chopra’s tweets(e.g.,“Imagination is inside expo-nential space time events”).The second,“The New Age Bullshit Generator”(/bullshit/),works on the same principle but uses a list of profound-sounding words compiled by its author,Seb Pearce(e.g.,“We are in the midst of a self-aware blossoming of being that will align us with the nexus itself”).A full list of items for the BSR scale can be found in Table S1in the supplement.The fol-lowing instructions were used for the scale:We are interested in how people experience theprofound.Below are a series of statements takenfrom relevant websites.Please read each state-ment and take a moment to think about what itmight mean.Then please rate how“profound”you think it is.Profound means“of deep mean-ing;of great and broadly inclusive significance.”Participants rated profoundness on the following5-point scale:1=Not at all profound,2=somewhat profound,3= fairly profound,4=definitely profound,5=very profound.A bullshit receptivity score was the mean of the profound-ness ratings for all bullshit items.At the beginning of the study(following demographic questions),participants completedfive cognitive tasks in-tended to assess individual differences in analytic cognitive style and components of cognitive ability.The Cognitive Reflection Test(CRT;Frederick,2005)consists of3math-ematical word problems that cue an incorrect intuitive re-sponse.The CRT has been shown to reflect the tendency to avoid miserly cognitive processing(Campitelli&Gerrans, 2013;Toplak,West&Stanovich,2011),presumably be-cause those with an analytic cognitive style are more likely to question or avoid the intuitive response.We also in-cluded a recent4-item addition to the CRT(Toplak,West &Stanovich,2014).The7-item CRT measure had accept-able internal consistency(Cronbach’sα=.74).As an additional measure of reflective thinking,we in-cluded a“heuristics and biases”battery(Toplak et al.,2011). The heuristics and biases battery involves a series of ques-tions derived from Kahneman and Tversky,such as the gam-bler’s fallacy and the conjunction fallacy(Kahneman,2011). Much like the CRT,each item cues an incorrect intuitive re-sponse based on a common heuristic or bias.However,the heuristics and biases task was not as reliable(α=.59).This likely reflects the fact that the heuristics and biases items are more diverse than are the CRT problems.We also included two cognitive ability measures.We as-sessed verbal intelligence using a12-item version of the Wordsum test.For this,participants were presented with words and asked to select from a list the word that most closely matches its meaning(e.g.,CLOISTERED was pre-sented with miniature,bunched,arched,malady,secluded). The Wordsum has been used in many studies(see Malhotra, Krosnick&Haertel,2007for a review),including the Gen-Table1:Pearson product-moment correlations(Study1;N=279).BSR=Bullshit Receptivity scale;CRT=Cognitive Reflection Test.Cronbach’s alphas are reported in brackets.∗∗∗p<.001,**p<.01,∗p<.05.12345671.BSR(.82)2.CRT−.33∗∗∗(.74)3.Heuristics/biases−.28∗∗∗.50∗∗∗(.59)4.Verbal intelligence−.37∗∗∗.41∗∗∗.31∗∗∗(.65)5.Numeracy−.13∗.38∗∗∗.27∗∗∗.30∗∗∗(.47)6.Ontological confusions.31∗∗∗−.33∗∗∗−.38∗∗∗−.26∗∗∗−.16∗∗(.74)7.Religious belief.27∗∗∗−.21∗∗∗−.20∗∗−.15∗−.17∗∗.29∗∗∗(.94)eral Social Survey(starting in1974).The Wordsum mea-sure had acceptable reliability(α=.65).We also assessed numeracy using a3-item measure(Schwartz,Woloshin, Black&Welch,1997).The frequently used3-item nu-meracy scale is strongly related to an expanded and more difficult7-item numeracy scale,suggesting that both scales loaded on a single construct(labelled“global numeracy”by Lipkus,Samsa,and Rimer,2001).However,we em-ployed the shorter3-item version for expediency,but it did not achieve acceptable reliability(α=.47).We used a14-item ontological confusions scale(Linde-man&Aarnio,2007;Lindeman,et al.,2008;Svedholm &Lindeman,2013),translated into English from Finnish. Participants were given the following instructions:“Do you think the following statements can be literally true,the way a sentence such as‘Wayne Gretzky was a hockey player’is true?Or are they true only in a metaphorical sense,like the expression‘Friends are the salt of life’?”.They were then presented items such as“A rock lives for a long time”and asked to rate how metaphorical/literal the statement is on the following scale:1=fully metaphorical,2=more metaphorical than literal,3=in between,4=more literal than metaphorical,5=fully literal.Those who rate the statements as more literal are considered more ontologically confused.Participants were also given3metaphors(e.g.,“An anxious person is a prisoner to their anxiety”)and3lit-eral statements(e.g.,“Flowing water is a liquid”)asfiller items that did not factor into the mean ontological confu-sion score.The ontological confusions scale had acceptable internal consistency(α=.74).Finally,participants completed an8-item religious belief questionnaire(Pennycook et al.,2014).Participants were asked to rate their level of agreement/disagreement(1–strongly disagree to5–strongly agree)with8commonly held religious beliefs(afterlife,heaven,hell,miracles,an-gels,demons,soul,Satan).The scale had excellent internal consistency(α=.94).6.3ProcedureFollowing a short demographic questionnaire,participants completed the tasks in the following order:heuristics and biases battery,Wordsum,numeracy,CRT2,CRT1,ontolog-ical confusion scale,bullshit receptivity,and religious belief questionnaire.7ResultsThe Bullshit Receptivity(BSR)scale had good internal con-sistency(α=.82).A summary of descriptive statistics for each item and the full BSR scale is reported in Table S1. The mean profoundness rating was2.6,which is in-between “somewhat profound”and“fairly profound”on the5-point scale.Indeed,the mean profoundness rating for each item was significantly greater than2(“somewhat profound”),all t’s>5.7,all p’s<.001,indicating that our items successfully elicited a sense of profoundness on the aggregate.Moreover, only18.3%(N=51)of the sample had a mean rating less than2.A slight majority of the sample’s mean ratings fell on or in-between2and3(54.5%,N=152)and over a quar-ter of the sample(27.2%,N=76)gave mean ratings higher than3(“fairly profound”).These results indicate that our participants largely failed to detect that the statements are bullshit.Next we investigate the possible association between re-flective thinking and bullshit receptivity.Pearson product-moment correlations can be found in Table1.BSR was strongly negatively correlated with each cognitive measure except for numeracy(which was nonetheless significant). Furthermore,both ontological confusions and religious be-lief were positively correlated with bullshit receptivity.8Study2In Study1,at least some participants appeared tofind mean-ing in a series of statements that contained a random collec-tion of vague buzzwords organized in a sentence with syn-tactic structure.This tendency was significantly related to cognitive variables of conceptual interest in expected ways. In Study2we set out to replicate this pattern of results us-ing real-world examples of bullshit.For this,we created an additional scale using particularly vague“tweets”from Deepak Chopra’s“Twitter”account(see Table S2).We also expanded our measures of analytic cognitive style by includ-ing self-report measures of analytic and intuitive thinking disposition.Finally,we expanded our cognitive ability mea-sures by increasing the number of items on the numeracy test and including a common measure offluid intelligence. 9Method9.1ParticipantsA total of198participants(98male,100female,M age= 36,SD age=11.4)were recruited from Amazon’s Mechan-ical Turk in return for pay.Only American residents were permitted to sign up for the study.All participants reported speakingfluent English.Given the novelty of the phe-nomenon,we chose200participants as an arbitrary target sample size,as we determined this would provide adequate power and stability of the correlations.These data were not analyzed until the full sample was completed.Eleven participants were removed because they re-sponded affirmatively when asked if they responded ran-domly at any time during the study.In addition,23partic-ipants failed at least one of three attention check questions. The instruction check questions included the one used in Study1as well as the following question inserted into ques-tionnaires at the middle and end of the survey:“I have been to every country in the world”(all participants who selected any option but“strongly disagree”were removed).How-ever,as in Study1,the results were similar when these par-ticipants were excluded and we therefore retained the full sample.9.2MaterialsIn addition to the10meaningless statements used in Study 1,we obtained10novel items from http://wisdomofchopra. com and /bullshit/.As noted,we also obtained10items from Deepak Chopra’s Twitter feed (/deepakchopra; e.g.“Nature is a self-regulating ecosystem of awareness”).These items can be found in Table S2.We excluded hash tags and expanded any shortened words and abbreviations,but the tweets were not otherwise altered.We emphasize that we deliberately selected tweets that seemed vague and,therefore,the se-lected statements should not be taken as representative of Chopra’s tweet history or body of work.Also,to reiter-ate,we focus on Chopra here merely because others have claimed that some of the things that he has written seem like “woo-woo nonsense”(e.g.,Shermer,2010)and because of the connection between these claims and the bullshit gen-erator websites that we used.None of this is intended to imply that every statement in Chopra’s tweet history is bull-shit.Participants were given the same instructions as Study 1and,therefore,we did not indicate the author of the state-ments.Participants completed one cognitive task and one self-report questionnaire intended to assess individual differ-ences in analytic cognitive style.Participants were given the heuristics and biases battery(as in Study1;α=.75)along with Pacini and Epstein’s(1999)Rational-Experiential In-ventory.The latter includes the20-item Need for Cognition (NFC)scale and the20-item Faith in Intuition scale(FI). Both scales had excellent reliability:α=.93(NFC)and.94 (FI).Participants were given questions such as“reasoning things out carefully is not one of my strong points”(NFC, reverse scored)and“I like to rely on my intuitive impres-sions”(FI).They were asked to respond based on a5point scale from1-Definitely not true of myself to5-Definitely true of myself.To assess cognitive ability,we retained the Wordsum(α=.63),and the numeracy test from Study1.However,given the low reliability for the3-item numeracy test in Study1, we used an additional6items(Lipkus et al.,2001),which lead to better reliability for the full9-item scale(α=.63). We also added a short form of Raven’s Advanced Progres-sive Matrices(APM)that consists of12problems.The APM are a widely used measure offluid intelligence and the short form has been validated in multiple studies(Arthur& Day,1994;Chiesi,Ciancaleoni,Galli,Morsanyi&Primi, 2012).It had acceptable internal consistency in our sample (α=.69).We used the same ontological confusion(α=.75)and re-ligious belief measure(α=.96)as in Study1.Finally,we administered the Paranormal Belief Scale(Tobacyk,2004; Pennycook et al.,2012)with the religious belief items ex-cluded.The scale consisted of22items sampled from6cat-egories of supernatural belief(example items in parenthe-ses):Psi(“Mind reading is possible”),Witchcraft(“Witches do exist”),Omens of luck(“Black cats can bring bad luck”), Spiritualism(“It is possible to communicate with the dead”), Extraordinary life forms(“The Loch Ness monster of Scot-land exists”)and Precognition(“Astrology is a way to ac-curately predict the future”).The full scale had excellent internal consistency(α=.96).Participants also completed wealth distribution and polit-ical ideology measures.These measures were included as part of separate investigations and will not be analyzed or discussed further.。

哈利波特英语Harry Potter is a series of fantasy novels written by British author J.K. Rowling. The series follows young wizard Harry Potter as he navigates life at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, battles evil forces, and uncovers the truth about his family and world. It has become one of the most beloved and successful book series of all time, spawning a billion-dollar movie franchise, theme parks, merchandise, and a passionate fandom.The first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (or Sorcerer's Stone in the US), was published in 1997, and it quickly became a sensation. Set in a magical world populated by witches, wizards, and various magical creatures, the book introduced readers to Harry, an orphaned boy who discovers he is a wizard and is whisked away to a hidden school of magic. There, he makes friends with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, and they embark on a series of exciting adventures as they try to uncover the mystery behind an elusive magical object called the Philosopher's Stone.The subsequent books in the series – Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – continue to follow Harry as he grows up, battles the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, and ultimately uncovers the truth about his family and destiny.One of the key themes of the Harry Potter books is the power of love and friendship. Harry's friendships with Ron and Hermione are integral to his success in defeating Voldemort, and the love between Harry's parents also plays a crucial role in the story. Another theme is the importance of standingup to injustice and fighting for what is right, as Harry and his friends often find themselves facing corruption and discrimination within the wizarding world.The popularity of the Harry Potter series has had a profound impact on popular culture, inspiring countless imitations and homages. It has also been subject to criticism for everything from promoting witchcraft and magic to being too violent or depressing, but its fans have remained steadfast in their love for the books, and the series remains an enduring cultural touchstone.。

论扯淡
在我们的文化里，最突出的特征之一就是：有太多的人在“扯淡”。

这点谁都明白。

每个人都有份。

但我们却认为这种情况是理所当然的。

大多数人都相信自己有能耐分辨出谁在扯淡，不会被人糊弄，因而人们并不真正关注这一现象，也激发不了持久的讨论。

因此，什么是扯淡？为什么有那么多人在扯淡？扯淡究竟有什么作用？对这些问题我们并不清楚，而且就扯淡对我们的意义而言，也缺乏认真的评价。

换句话说，对扯淡，我们缺少理论。

我打算开始逐步阐明扯淡问题的理论观点，主要是提出一些尝试性与探讨性的哲学分析。

在修辞手法和错误用法中的扯淡不在我的考虑范围之内。

我的目的很简单，就是要对何谓扯淡做出概括解释，区分出扯淡和不扯淡有何不同，并已多少有点不同的方式，明白地勾勒出扯淡这个概念的结构。

扯淡的构成在逻辑上有什么充分且必要的条件？对这个问题的任何解释多少都有些武断。

一方面，当人们用“扯淡”这个说法时，通常都很随意——只是一句泛泛的骂人话，并没有字面上的
特别意义；另一方面，这种现象本身太宽泛，难以归类，任何对其概念做出的清晰明快的分析，都会变成削足适履。

但尽管如此，虽然不太可能得到定论，虽然有贯彻党的最基本问题仍然存在，不但未被解答，甚至无人问询；可是去做一些有益的讨论，应当是可能的。

介绍哈利波特的英语作文150词全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Harry Potter is the Best Book Series Ever!Hi everyone! My name is Tommy and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to tell you all about the most amazing book series in the entire world - Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling! I just finished reading all 7 books and they were so awesome, I can't stop thinking about them. Get ready, because I'm going to tell you everything that's so great about Harry Potter!First, let me give you some background on the story. Harry Potter is a young wizard who lives in the ordinary human (or "Muggle") world with his mean aunt and uncle after his parents were killed by the evil wizard Voldemort. But on his 11th birthday, Harry finds out that he's actually a wizard too and gets invited to attend the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!At Hogwarts, Harry makes two best friends named Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Ron comes from a cool wizarding family with red hair and lots of brothers and sisters. Hermione is a Muggle-born witch who is super smart and goodat magic. Together they go on all kinds of adventures and have to keep fighting off Voldemort and his scary Death Eater followers who want to take over the wizard world.There's so much awesome stuff at Hogwarts that I'm jealous I can't go there for real! The castle is huge with moving staircases, talking portraits, and ghosts floating around. Harry takes classes to learn magic spells, potions, herbology (studying magical plants), and even how to fly on broomsticks for the wizard sport Quidditch.Quidditch is probably the coolest fictional sport ever invented. It's kind of like basketball mixed with rugby, except it's played flying around on broomsticks high up in the air! Each team has seven players: three Chasers who score points by throwing a ball (the Quaffle) through big hoops, two Beaters who protect their team by hitting other players with small heavy balls (the Bludgers), a Keeper who guards the hoops, and a Seeker (Harry's position) who has to catch a tiny golden ball called the Snitch to end the game. Harry is an amazing Seeker and Quidditch matches are always so intense and exciting in the books.Besides the awesomeness of the wizarding world, another reason I love Harry Potter is the characters. Harry is such a braveand loyal friend, always willing to risk everything to do what's right and protect the people he cares about. Ron can be a bit goofy but he's funny and such a good mate. Hermione is the brilliant brains helping them out of every jam. And Harry's godfather Sirius Black is the coolest adult character - he's an escaped convict but he's actually a good guy.But my favorite character is definitely Dobby the house-elf. Dobby is this tiny elf creature who is a servant to the evil Malfoy family at first. Even though he has to punish himself for disobeying orders, Dobby goes behind their backs to secretly help Harry multiple times because he's just such a good person. When Harry tricks the Malfoys into freeing Dobby, it's the happiest moment ever! Dobby is hilarious with his extremely formal manners and he's so loyal and brave. I wish I had a friend like Dobby.The Harry Potter books get darker and more intense as the series goes on, especially once Voldemort comes back to power in the 4th book. Harry and his friends face life-or-death situations against the Death Eaters, dementors (soul-sucking ghostlike creatures), werewolves, and all kinds of other scary dangers. But they keep fighting hard against Voldemort's growing darkness and never give up hope. It all builds up to anepic final battle in the 7th book where Harry has to make a terrible sacrifice to save the wizard world once and for all.I can't really put into words why these books are so awesome and meaningful to me. The whole wizarding world feels just as real and vivid as our own. The magic system is so cool and intricate, whether it's casting spells, making potions, using enchanted objects, or transforming into an Animagus animal form. The stories take you on such an emotional journey of excitement, mystery, friendship, bravery and just never knowing what crazy adventure is coming next.More than anything though, I think kids (and everyone really) are drawn to the timeless themes in Harry Potter - good vs. evil, overcoming darkness, the power of love and friendship, and fighting for what's right even against impossible odds. Harry and his friends go through SO MUCH struggle and heartbreak, but they stick by each other through thick and thin and end up as heroes who save the world. What kid doesn't dream about going on an epic adventure like that with their best friends by their side?If you haven't read the Harry Potter books yet, you are seriously missing out and I feel bad for you! Do yourself a favor and read them right now because they are the most magical,spellbinding, cant-put-them-down books you'll ever experience. Even after all these years, millions of kids and adults re-read them over and over because the Harry Potter series is just that awesome. I already can't wait to read the whole series again!篇2Harry Potter: The Boy Who LivedHave you ever wished you could do magic? Well, in the Harry Potter books, there's a whole world of witches and wizards who can cast spells and make all sorts of amazing things happen! The star of the series is a young wizard named Harry Potter.Harry was just a baby when his parents were killed by an evil dark wizard called Voldemort. Luckily, Harry survived, but he was left with a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. His aunt and uncle, the Dursleys, had to take him in, but they were horrible to him because they hated anything to do with magic.On his 11th birthday, Harry got an incredible surprise – he was a wizard too! A giant named Hagrid came and told him all about the wizarding world and took him to buy his school supplies like a magic wand, spellbooks, and even a pet owl! Harry was going to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.At Hogwarts, Harry made two best friends – Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Together, they got into all kinds of adventures and mischief. They had to deal with mean teachers, three-headed dogs, a troll, and even Voldemort trying to come back to life! But with bravery, friendship, and a little magic, they always managed to save the day.In later books, Harry learned more advanced magic and faced even greater dangers like dementors (evil creatures that feed on happiness), a dangerous tournament between wizarding schools, and an all-out wizarding war against Voldemort and his followers. But no matter what, Harry never gave up. He was brave, loyal to his friends, and determined to defeat the dark forces.The Harry Potter books are so much fun because they take you into this whole other world of castles, spells, magical creatures, and sports played on broomsticks! You get to imagine what it would be like to be a student at Hogwarts, learn potions and charms, and maybe even join Harry, Ron and Hermione on one of their amazing adventures.Harry Potter is an ordinary boy who finds out he's actually a wizard with an extraordinary destiny. The series shows that even if you're small or come from a difficult background, you can stillaccomplish great things with courage, friendship, and believing in yourself. Maybe there's a little magic inside all of us too!篇3Harry Potter is the Most Amazing Book Series Ever!Have you read the Harry Potter books? If not, you are really missing out! The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling is my absolute favorite. It's about a young wizard named Harry Potter who has to battle evil wizards and dark forces. But it's so much more than that too!The story begins when Harry is just a baby. His parents are killed by the most evil wizard of all time, Voldemort. But when Voldemort tries to kill Harry too using an extremely powerful curse, it doesn't work! The curse rebounds off baby Harry and hits Voldemort instead, destroying his body. This leaves a lightning bolt-shaped scar on Harry's forehead.Since Harry's parents are gone, he gets sent to live with his mean aunt and uncle, the Dursleys. They treat him terribly and make him sleep in a tiny cupboard under the stairs. On his 11th birthday, everything changes when Harry finds out he is actually a wizard! A giant named Hagrid comes and tells him the truth about his parents and himself.Hagrid takes Harry to a magical world filled with witches, wizards, and all sorts of enchanting things – like wands, spell books, magic potions, dragons, ghosts, and so much more. Harry gets to go to Hogwarts, which is a school for young wizards to learn magic. There, he makes two best friends named Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Together, they go on the most unbelievable adventures!At Hogwarts, Harry takes classes to learn charms, transfiguration, herbology, potions, defense against the dark arts, and other kinds of magic. His teachers include mentors like Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and even the ghostly Professor Binns. But not all of Harry's teachers are looking out for his best interests. The spiteful Potions master Snape seems to have it out for Harry from day one.Harry's years at Hogwarts are never boring! Each book chronicles a different school year where Harry, Ron, and Hermione have to overcome treacherous obstacles put in place by the dastardly Voldemort or his minions. This involves everything from battling mountain trolls and deadly plants to unraveling ancient mysteries and breaking evil curses.The magic system in Harry Potter is so inventive and the wizarding world is fleshed out with such amazing detail. Thereare unique magical creatures like hippogriffs, thestrals, and blast-ended skrewts. The different witches, wizards, ghosts, house elves, and other characters are all richly developed too.My personal favorite book is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. In this one, an infamous wizard named Sirius Black has escaped from the hellish wizard prison Azkaban. Everyone thinks he's after Harry, so terrifying Dementors are brought in to guard Hogwarts. But a bigger mystery starts to unravel – one tying into Harry's past and his parents.One thing I love about the books is how brave, loyal, and determined the main characters are. Harry is always putting himself in danger to protect those he cares about and fight against evil forces. Ron is a true friend who sticks by Harry no matter what. And Hermione is brilliant and constantly using her smarts to get them out of sticky situations.J.K. Rowling's writing draws you right into this rich magical world. You become so invested in the characters and are constantly kept on the edge of your seat turning the pages. The books have it all - magic, mystery, friendship, adventure, tragedy, and triumph against all odds.When you start reading Harry Potter, you just get completely sucked into this incredible universe. You find yourself wishingyou could join Harry, visit Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, and experience all the wonderous magic for yourself. I must have read the entire series like a hundred times and it still hasn't gotten old!If you haven't experienced the magic of the Harry Potter books yet, you are seriously missing out. These books have sold millions and millions of copies for good reason – they are simply spellbinding. The story, characters, and world will stay with you forever. I can't recommend them enough, even to adults! Just start with the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and you'll be instantly hooked wanting to devour the whole series. After that, you'll be just as big a Potterhead as me!篇4Here's an introduction to Harry Potter in English, written in a tone suitable for elementary school students, with a length of around 2,000 words:Harry Potter: The Magical World of a Young WizardHave you ever dreamed of attending a school where you could learn to cast spells and brew magical potions? Well, that's exactly what happens to Harry Potter, the famous boy wizard created by author J.K. Rowling. Harry's story is full of excitingadventures, brave friends, and daring battles against the forces of evil!Harry Potter is just an ordinary boy living with his mean aunt, uncle, and cousin. On his 11th birthday, he discovers that he's actually a wizard and has been accepted into the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Can you imagine how surprised he must have felt?At Hogwarts, Harry learns all about the magical world he never knew existed. He attends classes like Potions, Charms, and Defense Against the Dark Arts, where he practices spells and learns about different magical creatures. Harry also gets to play the amazing wizard sport called Quidditch, where players fly on broomsticks and try to score points with special balls.But Harry's life at Hogwarts isn't all fun and games. There's a powerful dark wizard named Voldemort who wants to take over the magical world. Harry has to face Voldemort and his evil followers every year, putting his bravery and friendship to the test. With the help of his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, Harry always manages to save the day.One of the coolest things about the Harry Potter books is the incredible detail J.K. Rowling put into creating the magical world. From the moving paintings and talking ghosts that haunt thecorridors of Hogwarts, to the different types of magical candy and joke shops in the wizarding village of Hogsmeade, everything feels so real and exciting.Whether it's battling three-headed dogs, fighting off dementors (scary creatures that can suck out your soul!), or competing in the dangerous Triwizard Tournament, Harry always finds himself in the most thrilling situations. And that's what makes the Harry Potter series so much fun to read!Over the course of seven books, we get to follow Harry and his friends as they grow from young students into brave, powerful wizards. Along the way, they learn valuable lessons about friendship, courage, and standing up for what's right.So if you're looking for a magical adventure full of suspense, humor, and unforgettable characters, be sure to pick up the Harry Potter books. You'll never want to leave the wizarding world behind!篇5Harry Potter: The Boy Who LivedHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm going to tell you all about Harry Potter. He's the star of this super cool book series that I just can't get enough of!Harry Potter is a young wizard who lives in the Muggle world (that's what they call non-magical people) with his mean aunt and uncle, the Dursleys. On his 11th birthday, Harry finds out that he's actually a wizard and gets invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. How awesome is that?At Hogwarts, Harry makes two best friends – Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Ron comes from a big wizarding family and is always cracking jokes. Hermione is the brainiest witch you'll ever meet and is always helping Harry and Ron out of trouble. Together, they go on the most amazing adventures!In their first year, the trio has to get past a three-headed dog, flying keys, and a life-size wizard's chess game. That's because there's someone evil trying to steal the Sorcerer's Stone, a powerful magical object hidden at Hogwarts. With a lot of courage and a bit of luck, Harry manages to stop the bad guy and save the day!In the next few years, Harry has to deal with an angry house-elf, a prisoner escaped from Azkaban (the wizard prison), and even a dragon! But the biggest baddie of all is LordVoldemort, the darkest wizard ever. He tried to kill Harry when he was just a baby, but Harry survived and got his lightning-bolt scar. Now Voldemort is back and wants to get rid of Harry for good.The books are filled with magic spells, talking paintings, ghosts, unicorns, and all sorts of crazy creatures like house-elves and three-headed dogs. My favorites are the Dementors (creepy cloaked figures that suck all the happiness out of you) and the Patronus Charm, which is a spell that creates a spirit guardian to drive them away. Harry's Patronus is a stag!At Hogwarts, the students get sorted into four houses –Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are all in Gryffindor, which values bravery and chivalry. Each house has a cool mascot too – Gryffindor's is a lion! They compete against each other to win the House Cup by earning points for good behavior.The classes at Hogwarts are so much fun! Can you imagine learning how to turn a match into a needle or brew a potion that makes you grow fur? My favorite class would definitely be Defense Against the Dark Arts, where you learn how to fight off dark creatures and curses. That ghostly Professor Binns who teaches History of Magic doesn't sound very exciting though.When they're not in class, Harry and his friends love playing the wizard sport Quidditch. It's kind of like soccer, but on broomsticks and with four different balls flying around! Harry is the best Seeker ever and has to catch the tiny Golden Snitch to win matches for Gryffindor.The Harry Potter series has seven books in total. The last one is a real nail-biter with an epic battle between Harry and Voldemort. I won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's the most exciting book ever! J.K. Rowling, the author, sure knows how to weave an amazing story.That's the magical world of Harry Potter in a nutshell! These books are the perfect mix of adventure, friendship, mystery, and imagination. Once you start reading, you'll be just as hooked as me. So what are you waiting for? Head to your nearest library or bookstore, and let the magic begin!篇6Harry Potter is So Cool!Have you read the Harry Potter books or seen the movies? If not, you're really missing out! Harry Potter is one of the coolest book and movie series ever made. It's about this regular kid named Harry who finds out on his 11th birthday that he'sactually a wizard and gets invited to go to a magic school called Hogwarts. How awesome is that?At Hogwarts, Harry learns all sorts of magical spells and potions. He gets his very own magic wand and everything. The classes at Hogwarts sound way more fun than regular school. There's Transfiguration where you learn to change one object into another, like turning a desk into a pig. In Charms class, you practice all kinds of cool charms and spells. Potions is kind of like science class, but for making magic potions instead of boring old experiments.My favorite class is definitely Defense Against the Dark Arts. That's where you learn to defend yourself against evil wizards and scary magical creatures like werewolves, dementors, and giants. Harry has to take that class a lot because there's this really bad dark wizard named Voldemort who is always trying to kill him or take over the wizarding world.Speaking of the wizarding world, it's such a neat place! Wizards live alongside regular humans (who they call Muggles), but in their own secret magical communities. They have their own Ministry of Magic government, sport of Quidditch (which is kind of like soccer but played flying on broomsticks), and coolshopping areas like Diagon Alley where you can buy wands, owls, spell books, and other magic supplies.Harry has two best friends who go to Hogwarts with him - Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Ron comes from a big wizarding family where everybody has red hair and loves a sport called Quidditch. Hermione is a Muggle-born witch, which means she has non-wizard parents. She's really smart and always gets the best grades. I think Hermione is my favorite character because she's not afraid to break rules when she needs to.Every year at Hogwarts, Harry seems to get involved in some kind of crazy adventure battling dark forces and Voldemort's followers. One year, they have to guard a powerful magical stone from getting stolen. Another year, a secret chamber gets opened releasing a monster that starts attacking students. In later books, Harry has to fight off dementors, compete in a dangerous tournament, and go on a quest to destroy Voldemort's soul containers.The adventures are all really exciting, but also pretty scary at times. Harry and his friends always have to be really brave and put their lives at risk. They get help from wise wizard mentors like Headmaster Dumbledore and Harry's godfather Sirius Black. Andof course, they use all the magic spells and charms they've been learning at Hogwarts.My favorite part of the Harry Potter books is learning about all the different spells and magical objects. Spells like Expecto Patronum to summon a Patronus protector against dementors. Or cool artifacts like the Invisibility Cloak that Harry inherits which makes the wearer invisible. Or how about the Marauder's Map, an enchanted map that shows every person's location inside Hogwarts? So awesome! I wish I could go to Hogwarts too and learn magic.The Harry Potter movies are really well done too. The grownup actors who play the main kid characters are perfectly cast. Daniel Radcliffe makes a great Harry - he really brings the character to life on screen. And the special effects wizarding duels and creature battles look so incredibly realistic thanks to movie magic.I've read all seven Harry Potter books multiple times, and watched the eight movie adaptations more times than I can count. I never get tired of the adventures of Harry, Ron, and Hermione! The storytelling is just top-notch with unpredictable twists, high stakes, and high emotions. Even though parts of it are make-believe fantasy, it also deals with real issues that kidscan relate to like bullying, feeling like an outcast, family problems, and finding the courage to stand up against evil.So if you haven't experienced the wizarding world of Harry Potter yet, I highly recommend you check it out! Read the books first if you can, because they go way more in-depth than the movies do. Borrow them from your school library. Then watch the movie adaptations after you've read each book. You'll get so immersed in the rich, magical world of Hogwarts that you'll wish your。
