Abrams and was able to fulfill a dream of taking her family to Disney World. It was a busy but joyful time. Her latest book is Consider It Joy. “I feel like people need a tool in their hands to actually get the joy they are fighting for, ”Candace says, “The book can help you keep track of how much space and time you are devoting to things that arent worth it in comparison to the joy that I know I could have. ”Getting joy is something that has always been important to Candace. “What the opportunity offered me was not a forced open door,” Candace says,“Many people are trying desperately to push things open when they have to be obedient(顺从的) to the little things. ”Trusting herself has required being confident in saying no.

Sci-entists prove that expensive status symbols make you look less socially attractive. Items such as a fancy car and a Rolex watch are often thought to increase our social stand-ing and often come with a high price tag(标签). According to the latest research, however, it has the opposite effect and people would prefer to be friends with someone who places less value on material objects. “Often we think that status symbols will make us look more socially attractive to others,” says Stephen Garcia, the studys lead author from the University of Michigan. He adds, “However, our research suggests that these status signals actually make us look less socially attractive.”The researchers conducted six studies which assessed how people presented themselves and how people viewed strangers. People who chose to wear higher status items tended to get a negative response, but people wanted to be friends with people who preferred lower status symbols. The study took the role of the luxury item to see if it was possible that the expensive item itself played a part in peoples reactions. The definition of a status symbol changed based on a persons socioeconomic status, but the same effect of keeping off potential friends was seen regardless of social position. “At a social level, we may be wasting billions of dollars on expensive status symbols that finally keep others from wanting to associate with us,” says Kimberlee Weaver Livnat at the University of Haifa. She says, “And to the extent that close friendships are important to well-being, we may be unintentionally hurting ourselves.”However, Patricia Chen of the National University of Singapore said this does not neces-sarily mean status symbols are a bad thing. She says, “Our findings right now only apply to the formation of new friendships, Status symbols may be beneficial at other times and in other settings, such as when trying to establish new business contacts. ”28. What does the underlined word“flaunt”in paragraph I mean?A. Show off. B. Get rid of. C. Give away. D. Hand in. 29. Which is the negative influence of expensive status symbols?A.

Who may be more popular among friends according to the text?A. People who are very rich. B. People with high social status. C. People who keep a low profile. D. People with charming appearance. 31. What attitude does Patricia Chen have towards status symbols?A. Positive B. Unconcerned. C. Critical . D. Casual. DAbout one million adults in the USA need someone to help them eat. Researchers at the University of Washington are working on a robotic system that can help make it easier. After identifying different food on a plate, the robot can decide how to use a fork to pick up and de-liver the desired bite to a persons mouth. “Being dependent on a caregiver to feed every bite every day takes away a persons sense of independence, ”said the researcher. “Our goal with this project is to give people a bit more control over their lives.” The idea was to develop a feeding system that would be attached to wheelchairs and feed people whatever they wanted to eat. “When we started the project, we realized there are so many ways that people can eat a piece of food depending on its size, shape or consistency(坚实度),” said the researcher, “So we set up an experiment to see how humans eat common foods. ”The researchers arranged plates with about a dozen different kinds of food, ranging in consistency from hard carrots to soft bananas, Then the team gave volunteers a fork and asked them to pick up different pieces of food and feed them to a model. The fork contained a sensor to measure how much force people used when they picked up food. To design a feeding strategy that changes based on the food item, the researchers com-bined two different algorithms (算法). First they used an object-detection algorithm called Retina Net, which scans the plate, identifies the types of food on it and places a frame around each item. Then they developed SPNet, an algorithm that examines the type of food in a spe-cific frame and tells the robot the best way to pick up the food. The team is currently working with the Taskar Center for Accessible Technology to get advice from caregivers and patients on how to improve the system to meet peoples need. 32. Why do the researchers work on the robotic system?A. To help old people live a normal life. B. To help people improve their health. C. To release people from heavy housework. D. To make some people more independent. 33. How does the robotic system work?A. By picking up some soft food. B. By picking out food on the wheelchair. C. By working with some nurses. D. By observing and delivering food. 34. What can be inferred about the robotic system?A. It needs further research. B. It has come onto the market. C. It is suitable for any disabled person. D. It has won peoples great concern. 35. What may be the best title for the text?A. The process of inventing a robotic system.B. A new way to help those who dont like eating. C. Robotic feeders for humans are coming into being.D. Caregivers are going to lose their jobs in the future. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Most college students have their money from their parents, but college is the time for them to begin true responsibility.
