Five successful women delivered speeches on the topic “Bouncing Back after Setbacks.” As I sat there listening to their many personal and professional mistakes and setbacks, I felt fortunate that I hadnt made that many mistakes in my own life.Those women had lost thousands in investments, started panies but failed, sold panies that later ended up being worth millions, and lost partners in the name of business. Despite knowing that they had, in fact, bounced back and were again doing very well, I was starting to feel sorry for them.Then, as if someone whispered in my ear, I heard the words: “Dont be so proud of yourself. You havent made any mistakes because you havent lived at all. Look how boring your life is.” Whose voice was this, and how dare it speak to me like that?I think, for the first time, I heard my own heart speak. It shook me to my core, and it took all I had to keep from crying. I started thinking of the mistakes I had made. The voice was right. There werent many at all. I had followed a straight path for 38 years. I went to school, earned bachelors and masters degrees with honors, and stayed at every job Id had far longer than it wasprofessionally beneficial for me to do so. In fact, at 38, I had only had three jobs. “The devil(魔鬼) you know is better than the one you dont ” was my motto.A quick review of my life made me realize that it was the actions I hadnt taken that I was suddenly regretting. I hadnt studied abroad. I hadnt risked love. In fact, I was perpetually single. I hadnt started a business. I hadnt traveled enough. I had said “no” far more than “yes”.The voice that whispered to me continued to the New Year. It was like it laughed at me. The thought of turning forty frightened me. Its one thing to be unhappy and unsettled in your twenties, and perhaps even in ones thirties. But was I going to start a new decade with the same boredom? I needed something to pick me up, some activity I could look forward to.51. How did the author feel when first hearing stories from the 5 speakers?A. Regretful.B. Surprised.C. Lucky.D. Guilty.52. The author felt like crying during the conference because she realized .A. she hadnt lived her life to the fullestB. she was deeply touched by the womenC. she had nothing to be proud of in her lifeD. she had made a lot of mistakes in her life53. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. The familiar devil is more frightening. B. Saying “no” is better than saying “yes”.C. Its better to stay within the fort zone.D. Youd better change your job more frequently.54. From the passage, we can learn that the author .A. felt afraid of ageingB. traveled abroad a lotC. was married in her thirtiesD. decided to do something newBPrintable Tags Turn Everyday Objects into Smart DevicesEngineers have developed printable metal tags (标贴) that could be attached to everyday objects and turn them into smart Internet of Things devices.The metal tags are made from copper foil (铜箔) printed ontothin, flexible, paper-like materials to reflect WiFi signals. The tags work essentially like “mirrors” that reflect radio signals from a WiFi router. When a users finger touches these “mirrors”, it disturbs the reflected WiFi signals in such a way that can be remotely sensed by a WiFi receiver like a smartphone.The tags can be nailed onto objects that people touch every day, like water bottles, walls or doors. These objects then bee smart and connected devices that can signal a WiFi device whenever a user interacts with them. The tags can also be shaped into thin keypads or smart home control panels that can be used to remotely operate WiFi-connected speakers and other Internet of Things devices.Xinyu Zhang, a professor of electrical and puter engineering, named the technologyLiveTag. He pictures people using LiveTag technology to track human interaction with everyday objects. For example, LiveTag could potentially be used to assess the recovery of patients who have suffered from stroke (中风). “When patients return home, they could use this technology to provide data based on how they interact with everyday objects at home, whether they are opening or closing doors in a normal way, or if they are able to pick up bottles of water, for example. The amount, intensity and frequency of their activities could be recorded and sent to their doctors to evaluate theirrecovery,” said Zhang. “And this can all be done in the fort of their own homes rather thanhaving to keep going back to the clinic for frequent testing,” he added.The researchers note several limitations of the technology. LiveTag currently cannot work with a WiFi receiver further than one meter away, so researchers are working on improving the tag sensitivity and detection range. Ultimately, the team aims to develop a way to make the tags using normal paper and ink printing, which would make them cheaper to mass produce.55. When people touch a printable metal tag, .A. they are actually touching a mirrorB. the WiFi router will stop sending signalsC. the reflected WiFi signals will be disturbedD. their fingers can be sensed by a WiFi router56. LiveTag can probably be used to .A. precisely locate everyday objectsB. remotely control a WiFi-connected TV C. easily block signals from WiFi devicesD. greatly improve ones physical condition57. LiveTag helps stroke patients by .A. evaluating the process of their recoveryB. sending data of their activities to doctorsC. connecting their smartphones with doctorsD. recording doctors assessments of their recoveryCHow to Make Friends, According to ScienceFriendship is one of lifes most important features, and one too often taken for granted.The human desire for panionship may feel boundless, but research suggests that our social capital is finitewe can only handle a certain number of relationships at one time. Social scientists have used some creative approaches to measure the size of peoples social networks; these have returned estimates ranging from about 250 to about 5,500 people. Looking more specifically at friendship, a study using the exchange of Christmas cards to test closeness put the average persons friend group at about 121 people. However vast our networks may be, our inner circle tends to be much smaller. The average American trusts only 10 to 20 people. Moreover, that number may be shrinking: From 1998 to 2017, the average number of trusted friends decreased from three to two. This is both sad and of important consequence, because people who have strong social relationships tend to live longer than those who dont.So what should you do if your social life is lacking? Here the research is instructive. To beginwith, dont refuse to consider the humble acquaintance（交情）. Even interacting with people with whom one has weak social ties has a meaningful influence on well-being. Beyond that, building deeper friendships may be largely a matter of putting in time. A recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to bee a “real” friend, and a total of 200 hours to bee a close friend.If that sounds like too much effort, renewing inactive social ties can be especially rewarding. Reconnected friends can quickly recapture the trust they previously built, while offering each other adash of novelty（新奇）drawn from whatever theyve been up to in the meantime. And if all else fails,you could start randomly to tell secrets to people you dont know that well. Self-disclosure makes us more likable, and as a bonus, we are more likely to favor those to whom we have revealed our soul.Longing for closeness and connection is mon and everywhere, which suggests that most of us are stumbling（跌跌撞撞）through the world, expecting panionship that could be easilyprovided by the lonesome stumblers all around us. So set aside this article, turn to someone nearby, and try to make a friend.58. From Paragraph 2, we can know that .A. a strong social relationship can guarantee a long lifeB. real friendships are based on the exchange of presentsC. peoples inner circle is decreasing despite large social networksD. peoples social networks depend on their desire for panionship59. What does the author suggest to improve ones social life?A. Sharing secrets with close friends. B. Choosing likable people as friends. C. Avoiding the humble acquaintance.D. Spending time for deeper friendships.60. What is the passage mainly about?A. The tips on how to develop friendship. B. The reasons for seeking panionship.C. The benefits brought by a good social life.D. The relationship between friendship and happiness.61. The author helps readers better understand his idea mainly by .A. using research resultsB. making parisonsC. giving some examplesD. telling personal storiesDUnderstanding Chinese Culture: The Challenge to the WestLate last year, a New Zealand newspaper reported that China was sending 120 doctors to a Pacific island to assist with their munity health. A positive action, one might think, but the focus of the story was to ask what China was doing in the Pacific, and how we have failed to the extent that we have allowed this to happen. What are the Chinese doing on “our patch”?In fact, the rise of China is to a certain degree promoted as a threat. The challenge to the West, then, is to improve an appreciation of what China is. How does Chinas cultural heritage present a positive advantage to the world?To understand this, it is important to consider the foundations of Chinese culture and society. China has more than 5,000 years of uninterrupted cultural development. We at least need to go back2,500 years to study Taoism, for its cultural and philosophical roots, and Confucius for his social philosophy and influence on society.Taoism provides us with many aspects of the special nature of Chinese culture and philosophy. The concept of yin and yang in Taoism, which brings us balance through the integration of opposites, is well-known but not fully understood in the West. Chinese medicine, which tends to take a longer time to take effect, with a focus to work in harmony with the body, is to restore imbalance causing diseases rather than targeting only the specific symptom or problem area.Confucius contribution to Chinese society also provides a difference to Western society. Eastern society places the munity as the most important ponent of society. In Western society, it is the individual that is considered to be the unit of society, patible with an objective analysis of issues.Considering a monkey, cow and banana, which is the odd one out? The vast majority of Chinese will choose the cow because the monkey eats the banana, which gives food to the monkey. Western people invariably choose the banana because they see the objective classification of the monkey and cow. The consideration of these two responses, and extension into deeper philosophical understanding, presents a major difference between Chinese and Western thought.Therefore, the challenge to the West is to embrace an alternative perspective on issues. It is timefor Western media to seek a balance in reporting affairs, and critiqu（eIt is time for a Chinese voice to be heard in the West.评判）the Western perspective.62. The news report in the first paragraph _.A. tells a story of Chinese doctorsB. demonstrates the concern of the WestC. stresses the decline of Western cultureD. shows the medical development of China63. Why is Chinese medicine mentioned in the passage?A. To help better understand Taoism.B. To define the concept of yin and yang.C. To emphasize the contributions of Taoism.D. To express the au
