Information第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）AYear of GivingYesterday I started the Year of Giving, my first day of a year-long journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity. I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me. I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $ 10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards.After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out DuPont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willing accept my $ 10. He wasnt there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say, I think I said something like, “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $ 10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said, I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left.I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I dont know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $ 10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $ 10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves.56. The author set the starting date on December 15 to _.A.help the charityB. remember his motherC. make an explosionD. fulfill a wish if his mum57. In the authors first attempt to give away the money, _.A. he was considered ridiculousB. he hesitated for a long timeC. he was forced to donate the moneyD. he had no time to take action58. In the authors second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because _.A. he didnt need others helpB. he thought more for othersC. he didnt care about moneyD. he wanted to get more money59. We can refer that the author was inspired by _.A. true friendshipB. his own kindnessC. generous donationsD. humans good natureBMars on Earth Devon Islander has always been a cold and uninhabited(无人居住的) place in the Canadian Arctic. Day after day there are high winds and the temperature is below freezing. But for the first time, despite the terrible weather conditions .Devon Islander is the new home for a group of explorers from NASA. They are living here for a months in order to train and learn how to live and work on Mars. The groups members come from various backgrounds and nationalities, but they all have the same purpose: to find out how people can live on Mars in the future. They have chosen Devon Islander because the environment and landscape is similar in many ways to Mars. The surface is freezing cold and the ground is rough. However, there are some differences on Mars, where the atmosphere is poisonous to breathe, Devon Islander is easier to travel to and it has its own dangers that you wont find on Mars. For example, you might meet a hungry polar bear on Devon Islander!One thing the learn wants to develop is suitable clothing for Mars. This includes a space suit. The suit they are testing at the moment is strong enough but its too difficult and tiring. In addition, people will need to do experiment on Mars while wearing the suit so they have to be able to move around easily. One team member, Andy Overbeeke, specializes in space suit engineering. He explains: “You have to think about what theyre really going to operate in.” Another part of daily life on Mars will be meals and food. Creating a new home on Mars requires a lot of food. So the big question is: can you grow plants in order to survive? Scientists believe that growing plants on Mars might be possible. Mars and Earth have many similarities. They both have about the same amount of dry land and a 24-hour day. However, the atmosphere on Mars is totally different, so Canadian scientist Alain Berinstain is attempting to grow plants in a special greenhouse that you could also build on Mars. The greenhouse needs to run 365 days a year, so it uses a combination of solar energy and wind power. People living on Mars will also want their own transportation. For this, the team on Devon Island have built the “Martian Rover”. Its a huge heavy vehicle that can travel over rocks and rough terrain. This kind of testing takes many days but so far the work has been valuable and effective. As a result, the whole team now believes their work is crucial and that its possible for humans to land on the planet Mars and create a home there. Addy Overbeeke adds, “We know that its mans destiny to go out and do space exploration. Its always time to think about what you want to do in the future.”60. The explorers are living on Devon Island to _.A. receive a training in astronomyB. set up an advanced research labC. learn how to live and work on MarsD. make a living in an uninhabited land61. To keep food supply on Mars, people should _.A. create a new homeB. improve the atmosphereC. build special greenhousesD. reduce the area of dry land62. According to the passage, we know that _.A. humans may live on Mars in the futureB. Martian Rover has failed to stand the testC. Mars and Devon Island have the same soil conditionD. scientists have mastered the method to grow plants on MarsC While you may think that being smart and talented would logically make someone successful in running a business, unfortunately, this is often not the case.This problem starts back in school when the stressful “group projects” are first assigned .The smartest dont want to risk their grade in the class by dividing the work equally and hoping that art average student does his part well. They just take over and do the whole project themselves. And thus begins the smart-people work cycle. The smartest people do just about everything better than most everyone else until it comes to running a business. They are not better; they are screwed. A smart person who cant stand someone else doing a job badly does everything himself. Then, he is stuck with the one-man band “job-business” and ends up not being able to grow. However, it is quite interesting and strange that some slacken are better suited to be a business leader than the “smart” people. The figured out early on to surround themselves with smart people who would do the work that they themselves dont want to do. Smart and talented people often have a gift for the unusual, complicated or different. They dont like to follow the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid), which is required to make a business succeed. Maybe you think the global presence of McDonalds complex, but in reality, in the company, every single task is broken down into easy-to-follow steps and everything has been standardized. These successful companies have just a few smart enough people to run the majority of the tasks in a way that cant be screwed up by their average employees. So, being smart or talented isnt going to help you unless you can use those smarts to figure out a way to simplify those tasks that will make a business successful. Another issue with the smart people starting businesses is that they often have the most to lose. The smarter you are, the more options you have available to you. You will be able to make a lot of money in various fields and have room in your career to become promoted. This means that when you start a business, you have a lot more to risk than those who are not equally smart. This is often referred to as the“golden handcuffs”dilemma.So, dont be surprised when the person “MOST Likely to Succeed” from high school ends up as an employee and it is one average student that finds success in his or her own business.63. In group work, smart students often take over the whole project because they believe _.A. the work is not divided equallyB. they can perform better than othersC. the group projects are too stressfulD. average students are unwilling to participate64. McDonalds is used as an example to prove that _.A. a business calls for smart peoples talentB. average employees can perform complex tasksC. smart people are important for a successful businessD. simplified tasks are required for the success of a business65. The underlined expression in Paragraph 5 refers to the situation where smart people _.A. have fewer options in a companyB. risk more when starting businessC. are unwilling to put money to a businessD. can have a good income in many different fields66. What is the best title for the passage?A. Potentials for SuccessB. Bases for BusinessC. The Ordinary Achieve Bigger Success?D. Talent Means Successful Business?D We know that hugs make us feel easy inside. And this feeling, it turns out, could actually ward off stress and protect r the immune (免疫) system, according to a new research from Carnegie Mellon University. Its a well-known fact that stress can weaken the immune system. In this study, the researchers sought to determine whether hugs-like social support more broadly -could protect individuals from the increased sensitivity to illness brought on by the particular stress that come with interpersonal conflict. “We know that people experiencing ongoing conflicts with others are less able to fight off cold viruses. We also know that people who report having social support are partly protected from the effects of stress on psychological states, such as depression and anxiety, “the studys lead author, psychologist Dr. Sheldon Cohen , said in a statement. “We tested whether awareness of social support is equally effective in protecting us from sensitivity to infection caused by stress and also whether receiving hugs might partially account for those feeling of support and thus protect a person against infection.” In the experiment , over 400 healthy adults filled out a questionnaire about their perceived (感知) social support and also participated in a nightly phone interview for two weeks . They were asked the frequency they engaged in interpersonal conflicts and received bugs that day. Then, the researchers exposed the participants to a common cold virus, and monitored them to assess signs of infection. They found that both perceived social support and more frequent hugs reduced the risk of infection associated with experiencing interpersonal conflict. Regardless of whether or not they experienced social conflicts, infected participants with greater perceived social support and more frequent hugs had less severe illness symptoms. “This suggests that being hugged by a trusted person may act as an effective means of conveying support and that increasing the frequency of hugs might be an effective means of reducing the effects of stress,” Cohen said. “The apparent protective effect of hugs may result from the physical contact itself or hugging being a behavioral indicator of support and closeness. Either way, those who receive more hugs are somewhat more protected from infection.”If you need any more reason to go wrap your arms around someone special, consider this: hugs also lower blood pressure, reduce fearsome around death and dying, improve heart health and decrease feeling of loneliness.67. In Paragraph 1, the underlined words “wand off “can be replaced by _.A. produce B. increase C. prevent D. support68. Dr. Sheldon Cohens experiment shows that _.A. hugs can hide serious illness symptomsB. social conflicts can monitor signs of infectionC. social support can reduce the risk of having a coldD. depression and anxiety result from less social support69. The passage aims to convey that _.A. hugs can have protective effects B. social support can sure diseasesC. interpersonal conflicts cause infections D. stress can weaken our immune system70. The passage is most likely to be found in _.A. a social science magazine B. a commercial brochureC. a medical report D. an academic essay第二节（共5小题:每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出恩给你填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Make a Joke of It Im working on my Happiness Project, and you could have one, too! Everyones project will look different, but its the rare person who cant benefit. Join in-no need to catch up, just jump in right now. Everyone says, and its true, that one of the most effective ways to handle negative emotions is to lighten up. _71_If youre angry, joke around. Easier said than done, however. I had a chance to keep my resolution to “make a joke of it” last night. My husband finally took on the job of dealing with my daughters adventure in orthodontia(牙齿矫正术). The orthodontists office is right around the Corner from his office, and he agreed that hed schedule the appointments and take her. This was GREAT! On our flight to Kansas City for the holidays, the Big Girl lost her “functional appliance” which she wears in her mouth. _72_We got back home a week later, and the Big Man didnt call to make an appointment! Days went by. I reminded him periodically, but nothing happened._73_Last night, I stamped into our bedroom ready to turn on my anger at full volume. “This really matters, this is important, shes growing now, whats the point, its expensive, you promised youd do it.” Etc. Then I thought, “Make a joke of it.”So I went over, put my arm around the Big Man, and said nicely, “You know what? If you dont call the orthodontists tomorrow, Im going to be very angry. Im not threatening, just giving you fair warning.” And I laughed while I said it. “I know, I know!” he said, shaking his head. “Ill send myself an Email right now.” And he did. _74_ Im not sure if making a joke of it was more effective than getting angry, but I dont think it was less effective. I was happier about it, and the Big Man
