【题目】Erica Wills admits an addiction left her poor and almost ruined her life. But it wasnt drink or drugs. The 21-year-old former model was addicted to exercise. . Erica only realized she had become a gym addict when she decided to take a night off to celebrate her 21st birthday.

I wasted a whole year of my life doing nothing but exercise,” she says. . “ I thought we’d see more of each other if we worked out together.” When that relationship ended, she fell in love with the thrill of keeping her body in tip-top condition.

Every evening, I left the insurance company where I worked and dashed off to the club,” says Erica. “ But not me. All I would do is rushing off to the gym for five-hour sessions. I went through the lot each night—aerobics, a weights circuit in the gym, then a swim. I would get home after 11 pm, have something to eat and fall into bed. It was the same every weekday. On Saturdays, I might spend even longer in the gym.”

I just poured all my money into the gym. Membership and classes came to around 100 a month, plus I had to buy clothing and equipment.

I didn’t realize I had lost all my friends until my 21st birthday came round. I decided to take one evening off to go out with them. Then someone told me I hadn’t been a very good friend for a year, so why should anyone bother turning up? In fact, just one girlfriend came with me for a drink on my 21st birthday. That was the turning point for me. I cut right down on the gym and tried to pick up where I had left off with people.”

A. I didn’t buy anything else all year—I couldn’t afford to.

B. I first went to a health club when I dated a bodybuilder.

C. I only went out with my friends two or three times a week.

D. Anyone else aged 20 would be out with friends, having a laugh.

E. But when I started calling people, everyone said they couldn’t make it.

F. My old girlfriends were beauty queens and dancers, and I am naturally competitive.

G. Her hobby turned into a year of aerobic hell as she spent all her spare time in the gym.

【题目】Alibaba started taking the lead in China, simply enough, by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商)with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site, Alibaba.com allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to identify: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its marketplaces attract 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year—and Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourages people to use its markets—not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.

If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing almost a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “You’re looking for what exactly? Why not try it? my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.

Alibaba’s original business-to-business model now is secondary to consumer buying. Chinese retail(零售)buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you’ll ever find. TMall.com is Alibaba’s other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.

What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping—big-box retailers especially —in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.

I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how extensive the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I’m not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher’s iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.

【题目】Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a strangers personality simply by looking at the person’s shoes.

“Shoes convey a thin but useful piece of information about their wearers, the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal(非语言的) indications with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear.

Medical Daily notes that the details detected in the study include a person’s general age, sex, income, political affiliation(派别), and other personality characteristics, including someones emotional stability.

Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color, and condition of someones shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the studys participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.

So, some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts(外向者).

However, some of the more specific results are interesting. For example, practical and functional shoes were generally worn by more agreeable people, while ankle boots went more closely with aggressive personalities.

The strangers of all may be that those who wore uncomfortable looking shoes tend to have calm personalities.

And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from attachment anxiety, spending a large amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.

There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing shabbier and less expensive shoes.

The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality characteristics, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing deep awareness into their personalities.
