【题目】We all have our own tricks to cheer up when we’re feeling down; these little tricks can make you feel a little bit happier every day. While there are certainly happy memories tied up in the wedding ring you and your spouse (配偶) purchased together years ago or your teddy bear from childhood, new research finds that we typically feel calmer and experience a greater sense of well-being when we focus on a place that reminds us of happier times rather than a thing, even if it holds great value.

The report, called Places That Make Us, was conducted by the United Kingdom’s National Trust (NT) and Surrey University’s researchers. Experts performed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) (功能磁共振成像) scans on 20 volunteers and conducted an online survey of 2,000 people to better understand this deep draw toward special places.

“Working with leading researchers and academics, and using cutting-edge fMRI brain technology, we examined how places affect people, how they become special, and why we feel a pull towards them,” explained Nino Strachey, head of research for the NT.

The 20 volunteers were shown images of landscapes, houses, and other locations, as well as personally meaningful objects. Measuring their brain activity, the researchers found that it was the places, as opposed to the objects, that caused the brain to get the most excited.

Volunteers were also interviewed at great length two times, once at home and the other time at their special place. The research made discoveries that had never known before — the favorite places aroused feelings of belonging, physical and emotional safety, and an intense internal pull to the place.

Dr. Andy Myers weighed in on the findings, saying, “For the first time we have been able to prove the physical and emotional benefits of place, far beyond any research that has been done before.”

【1】How was the research conducted?

A. By performing fMRI on 2,000 volunteers.

B. By measuring the participants’ brain activity by fMRI.

C. By doing rough interviews with the participants.

D. By showing meaningful objects to the participants.

【2】How would the author feel about the findings of the study?

A. It is pioneering. B. It is baseless.

C. It is imperfect. D. It is unbelievable.

【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “weighed in on” ?

A. Made a comment on. B. Looked down on.

C. Was opposed to. D. Made fun of.

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A. Everyone has his way to be happy.

B. Valuable places can make people happy.

C. Teddy bears are best memories of children.

D. Meaningful objects lead to greater well-being.

练习册系列答案

One day I was riding with my dad when he noticed a hitch-hiker(搭便车的人) with a backpack. Without hesitation, he pulled the car over and offered him a ride. Dad asked him his name, and proceeded to talk to him about all sorts of things. Dad asked him where he was going. The hitch-hiker told him that he was heading for the west. I can’t recall why but he told Dad a lot of things that had occurred to him and that persuaded him to make that decision. He talked about the tragic events that occurred to him several years before. He was low in spirits, but I could see that the hitch-hiker’s attitude was changing as someone was really listening to him.

We drove 45 minutes before the hitch-hiker got off. We pulled over and Dad told him to keep his head up and things would start looking up for him soon. He reached into his pocket and handed the hitch-hiker a twenty-dollar bill. The guy smiled. He nearly lit up right there on the cold, dark highway.

We drove on and my dad did not say a single thing. I was still completely amazed by what I had just witnessed. I was always told by everyone never to pick up a hitch -hiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one. While reflecting upon that story I came to understand that just one single kind act could change someone’s life, and I am sure that my father’s deed made that poor man’s day.

【题目】 Huawei Technologies Co. displayed its much-anticipated in-house operating system Harmony OS on Friday, marking what some call the Chinese tech giant’s biggest push yet to build its own software ecosystem for the era of the internet of things.

The move is also expected to weaken the influence of the United States government’s restrictions on Huawei using Google’s Android operating system in smartphones, analysts said.

Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business group, speaking in Dongguan, Guangdong province, said it is difficult to deliver a smooth experience across different devices with the huge amount of codes involved in the Android and Linux operating systems. Linux is an open-source operating system widely used in personal computers and other hardware.

“Harmony is a next-generation operating system designed to address the challenge,” Yu said, adding that it will be able to support a wide range of application situations, including smart TVs, automobiles and wearables.

The internet of things refers to a network of devices and other objects that can connect with each other and exchange data.

Yu said the US government’s restrictions have accelerated the company’s marketing of the system, which now has about 4,000 employees working on it.

The senior executive said Harmony can be used in its smartphones. But Android is still Huawei’s preferred choice for handsets if the company is allowed to use it.

“But when Android is not available, Harmony can be applied immediately to smartphones. Harmony is ready,” Yu added.

Jia Mo, an analyst at market research company Canalys, said even if Huawei does not use Harmony in its smartphones in the short term, its smartwatches and smart TVs can be equipped with Harmony to widen its use and accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem.

“Also, more importantly, Huawei chose to build Harmony into an open-source operating system and allow it to be compatible with Android. Thus Harmony will be more accepted by current Android users. This will prevent Huawei from repeating the fate of Microsoft in promoting smartphone systems,” Jia said. Microsoft failed to popularize the use of its Windows system in smartphones years ago.

【1】What is the significance of the Harmony OS?

A.It symbolizes Huawei has finished its own software ecosystem.

B.It may reduce the threat from US government’s restrictions.

C.It will accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem.

D.It successfully borrows from Microsoft's Windows system.

【2】Which of the following may take the place of the underlined word “compatible” in the last paragraph?

A.Used harmoniously.B.Operated quickly.

C.Resisted fiercely.D.Monitored closely.

【3】Where may we find this article?

A.Fashion magazines.B.TV interviews.

C.Historic documents.D.News websites.

【题目】Much of my work as a coach includes helping people make an important decision, such as “If Im at a crossroads in my career, which path should I follow？” “If Im considering offers, which one should I accept？”

Difficult decisions like these remind me of a comment made by Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems for years during a lecture while I was in a business school at Stanford. He was asked how he made decisions and responded, “Its important to make good decisions. But I spend much less time and energy worrying about making the right decision and much more time and energy ensuring that any decision I make turns out right.”

In fact, before we make any decisions, particularly those difficult ones, were anxious to focus on identifying the “best” option because of the risk of being “wrong”. But a side effect of that mindset(观念模式) is that we pay too much attention to the moment of choice and lose sight of everything that follows. Its what happens next that finally determines whether a given decision was “right”．

Another aspect of this mindset is that our focus on making the “right” decision can easily lead to paralysis(麻痹), because the options were choosing among are so difficult to rank in the first place. How can we definitively determine in advance what career path will be “the best”， or what job offer we should accept? Obviously, we cant.

Focusing on the effort after our decision not only helps us succeed, but also reminds us that we play a role in every outcome. Our control should be in our day-to-day activities rather than in our one-time decision.

【1】What is the authors job?

A. To teach people to choose good careers.

B. To tell people how to adapt to a new city.

C. To help people make a vital choice.

D. To advise people to ask for a high salary.

【2】Which of the following about Scott McNealy is TRUE?

A. He tries his best to make his decision right in the end.

B. He never cares about whether his decision is good or not.

C. Making decisions is not very important for him.

D. He only focuses on the process rather than the outcome.

【3】Most people feel anxious when making an important decision because they ________.

A. dont know what to do next

B. cant find a good coach to give them advice

C. worry about the undesired result it may bring about

D. have no idea of what to expect

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A. Making the right decision is very important.

B. Stop worrying about making the right decision.

C. Believe in yourself and choose what you want.

D. Help others make the right decision.

【题目】 The Hotel Wake-up Call Gets Personal

Here’s a wake-up call: The hotel front desk will do one better than ringing your phone in the morning. They’ll send an actual human being to your room. Don’t worry. They won’t come in and kiss you good morning. 【1】

Never mind that most travelers nowadays have smart phones with built-in alarm clocks. 【2】 Here are some examples. At the Wolcott Hotel, if a wake-up call is unanswered, they will send an employee to your door. At Las Ventanas al Paraiso, an employee shows up at your room to wake you up with tea, coffee and breakfast bread. At the Mandarin Oriental, a person rather than an automated system will call to wake you up. 【3】

Hotels have always taken the wake-up call seriously. 【4】 If you don’t get your call within five minutes of the requested time, you won’t have to pay for your room. Travelers, too, still want to have an option of a wake-up call. A study of 285 guests at Crown Plaza found that 53% considered a wake-up call very important.

【5】 In the late 1980s, hotels turned to automated systems. Then all you’d get was a ring and silence. In the ever-competitive race for loyal customers, however, many hotels are now getting creative with the wake-up call. Some hotels even have recordings of celebrity voices. And more hotels will go back to the old in-person system of wake up calls.

A. But they might bring you coffee.

B. If you don’t answer, you’ll get a wake-up knock.

C. Crown Plaza, for instance, has a wake-up call guarantee.

D. But the wake-up call became less personal over the years.

E. The hotel gets 15 to 30 requests for wake-up calls each day.

F. The human wake-up call is a way to personalize a guest's stay.

G. Some guests sleep through the call, while others turn their phone ringers off.
