10．Last year it was a little boy with a big heart who moved viewers to tears in the John Lewis Christmas advertisement．Today，as the department store  shows its new ad，they are pinning their  hopes on a snowman in love to do the same．
The Christmas ad，called The Journey，shows the extraordinary lengths someone will go to  in their search of the perfect gift for the person they love．
The 90-second ad opens with children happily making a snowman and snowwoman in their  snow-covered garden．But before they have time to wrap up the snowwoman with scarf and gloves，they are called inside by their mother．
The  snowman，wearing his red  scarf and  gloves，mysteriously  disappears the  next morning．We then see him go on a heroic journey，similar to Frodo in the Lord of the Rings，as he travels  across fields，forests，rivers and snow mountains．The snowman then braves the High Street and hides behinds some dustbins to avoid some youngsters having a snowball fight but his face lights up when he reaches his destination．
The purpose for the snowman's secret journey isn't let out until the last scene，when he   retums on Christmas morning with gifts of a scarf and gloves for his wife．The slogan"give a   little more love this Christmas"is then shown．

9．When things go wrong and we're to blame，we're supposed to feel guilty．Right？Not necessarily．It tums out that when we  do  something that  causes a negative（消极的） outcome，we actually  feel less responsible for our actions．And，we see the entire situation differently than we  would have if things had turned out weU．
The"blame game"is nothing new．Behavior experts have long known that people push responsibility to others，or to outside factors，when things don't work out．But new research from  the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London shows that this response is  more than about wanting to escape blame-we actually don't believe that what happened is  our fault．
To leam more about the blame game，researchers conducted a study．They asked 34  participants to press keys that randomly produced three different noises．The noises were  positive  （ amusement，laughter），negative  （ fear，disgust，or  anger），or neutral．
The volunteers were asked to estimate（估计）  the time that it took between when they  pushed the button and when they heard the sound．Volunteers felt there was a longer lag（延迟）  time between their actions and the negative sounds than between their actions and the positive   ones．In their minds，the negative outcomes were separate from their actions．Therefore，they  were able to feel less responsible for them．．
The researchers say that when it comes to assigning blame，we can't always trust our own  judgment．"Just because you don't feel responsible，doesn't mean you're actually not，"says  study author Patrick Haggard，
The findings suggest that perhaps more of us need to realize that unpleasant or negative situations may actually be our fault-even if we don't see it that way．And taking more responsibility for our actions could lead to better relationships with others．

51．If things tum out well，people tend toD．
A．owe the success to others                 B．share the success with others
C．enjoy much pleasure themselves            D．feel more related to their actions
52．What can be inferred from Paragraph 2？'B
A．Experts knew little about the"blame game"．
B．Similar studies have been done before．
C．The study now has found nothing new．
D．Outside factors lead to our fault．
53．In the  study，volunteers were  asked  toA．
A．push special buttons                 B．write down the exact time
C．produce  different  sounds           D．tell  apart unpleasant  sounds
54．What's true of the volunteers？D
A．They always doubted their own judgement．
B．They believed someone else pressed the wrong keys．
C．They were not brave enough to take the responsibility．
D．They thought the bad results had little to do with them．
