ADo you feel bored during your holidays? Here are some books for the stay-at-home who are fondof reading to pass time during their holidays.A License to Heal(By Steven Bentley,, $11. 95 sc, $ 3. 99 eb)In the world of emergency medicine,there is pain,blood and tragedy(悲剧),but there is also hope and compassion.

Follow his journey in this book.21.What can we learn about Steven Bentley's book?A.It is a tragedyB. It is the most expensive.C. It is written in a narrative way.D.

Walking the Stones of Time and Honeyball.BAs anyone who's tried to befriend a baby knows,the very young are a tough crowd. In responseto your solicitous babble(蝶蝶不休),a baby might lock eyes with you. Just as likely,though,she'll stare insistently into an empty distance,spit up,or simply protest by crying loudly.New research suggests that babies are highly selective-discriminating even-in whom they will pay attention lo. And even before their first birthdays,this research shows,babies distinguish between"people like me"and all others.For those of us who like to think that prejudice comes with age,this may be disappointing news.Buta new study,published Monday in the journal PNAS,offers a fresh perspective on babies' remarkableability to distinguish between"in-group"members("people like me")and out-group members("others")at such a young age.Babies are all about learning new stuff,the new research concludes. And they won't waste aminute paying attention to someone they think unlikely to deliver the goods.The new research shows that,given the choice of listening to someone speaking in their nativelanguage and someone speaking another tongue, 11-month-old babies will consistently ignore the foreign speaker and pay attention to the person speaking the language that's familiar to them. At the moment that those babies made such decisions,researchers detected a distinctive pattern in their brainactivity-a pattern consistently seen in babies expecting to learn something new.Yes,the babies were making"us"versus"them"Judgments which,research has found,become ever more generalized and powerful as we age. But they appeared to be making those selective judgments,the research found,in a bid to maximize the information they lake in,not to exclude the “other”。

AWhile known for its Pacific Ocean beaches and fashionable coastal towns, the Golden State is also home to many new and clean lakes where visitors can soak up the sun and cool off.Shasta LakeShasta Lake is the largest reservoir in California at 30, 000 acres wide. The lake is in Northern California and is a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Los Angeles. With 370 miles of shoreline, it’s no surprise that renting a houseboat is a popular activity. Depending on their location, visitors can enjoy the view of Mt. Shasta, which has snow on its peak year-round.Big Bear LakeBig Bear Lake is another great option for those wanting to take a day trip from Los Angeles. It takes only two hours to drive there from downtown Los Angeles. Animal lovers can stop by the Big Bear Alpine Zoo to get an up-close look at the lake' s namesake(同名的物). The lake also has many hiking and biking trails along with plenty of fishing spots.Lake HavasuLake Havasu is divided along the border of California and Arizona and is an oasis(绿洲)in the desert. It’s a five-hour drive from Los Angeles and a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Las Vegas. Visitors can fish or go boating on the lake that was formed from the Colorado River.Mono LakeMono Lake is located in the Sierra Nevada mountains and spans more than 70 miles. It’s a fivehour drive from either Los Angeles or San Francisco. Visitors into fishing should head to a different lake because this body of water does not have any fish. It’s a salty lake, which means that it’s filled with saltwater and is two to three times saltier than the ocean.1. What can we know about Shasta Lake?A. It’s the biggest in America.B. It’s locat ed in Southern California.C. Visitors can watch snow there.D. Visitors can see bears there.2. Which is the closest to Los Angeles?A. Shasta Lake.B. Big Bear Lake.C. Lake Havasu.D. Mono Lake.3. Who is most probably uninterested in Mono Lake?A. An animal lover.B. A food lover.C. A sports lover.D. A fishing lover.BGitanjali Rao, a teenager who invented a mobile device to test for lead(铅)in drinking water, is Time’s Kid of the Year for 2020. The magazine announced the award Thursday, indicating Rao’s ability to apply scientific ideas to real-world problems and her desire to motivate other kids to take up their own causes.It’s just the latest recognition for Rao, 15, who was named last year to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. She won praise in 2017 after she responded to the Flint, Mich. water crisis by creating a device named Tehys, using carbon nanotuhe(碳纳米管)sensors to detect lead in water. She was named America’s Top Young Scientist when she was in the seventh grade. She went on to collaborate with scientists in the water industry to try to get the device on the market.More recently, Rao has developed a phone and Web tool named Kindly, which uses artificial intelligence technology to detect possible early signs of cyberbullying(网络欺凌).Rao was chosen in part because of the way she has followed up her technical work with efforts to get other young people to work on solving the problems they see. "Idon’t look like your typical scientist. Everything I see on TV is that it’s an older, usually white man as a scientist," she told Time."My goal has really shifted not only from creating my own devices to solve the world’s problems, but inspiring others to do the same as well. Because, from personal experience, it’s not easy when you don’t see anyone else like you. So I really want to put out that message: If I can do it, you can do it, and anyone can do it."4. What made Rao win Time’s Kid of the Year?A. Her invention and inspiration to others.B. Her ability to ensure kids’ drinking water.C. Her motivation to solve practical problems.D. Her way of influencing other young people.5. What did Rao do when she was 12?A. She developed a tool called Kindly.B. She created a device called Tehys.C. She won America’s Top Young Scientist.D. She became one of the Forbes 30 Under 30.6. Which can probably replace the word "collaborate" in Paragraph 2?A. Compete.B. Exchange.C. Cooperate.D. Bargain.7. What can we know about Rao?A. She wants to be a typical scientist.B. She once suffered cyberbullying.C. She lived a hard life when young.D. She encourages more to do like her.CAnimals that have never been domesticated (驯养的), such as kangaroos, can intentionally communicate with humans, challenging the belief that this behaviour is usually restricted to domesticated animals like dogs, horses or goats, a study from the University of Roehampton and the University of Sydney has found. The research which involved kangaroos, marsupials(有袋类动物)that were never domesticated, at three locations across Australia, revealed that kangaroos stared at a human when trying to access food which had been put in a closed box. The kangaroos used eye-contact to communicate with the human instead of attempting to open the box themselves, a behaviour that is usually expected for domesticated animals.Ten out of 11 kangaroos tested actively looked at the person who had put the food in a box to get it. Nine of the 11 kangaroos additionally showed eye-contact between the box and the person present, a strong form of communication where they looked between the box and human.The research builds on previous work in the field which has looked at the communication of domesticated animals, such as dogs and goats, and whether intentional communication in animals is a result of domestication. Lead author Dr. Alan McElligott previously led a study which found goatscan understand human signals, including pointing, to gather information about their environment. Like dogs and goats, kangaroos are social animals and Dr. McElligott’s new research suggests they may be able to adapt their usual social behaviours for interacting with humans.Dr. Alan McElligott said: "Through this study, we were able to see that communication between animals can be learned and that the behaviour of staring at humans to access food is not related to domestication. Indeed, kangaroos showed a very similar pattern of behaviour we have seen in dogs, horses and even goats when put to the same test. We hope that this research draws attention to the cognitive(认知的)abilities of kangaroos and helps promote more positive attitudes towards them."8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Marsupials should be limited to three locations in Australia.B. Marsupials like kangaroos should never be domesticated.C. Domesticated animals usually can communicate with humans.D. Domesticated animals directly open the box to get the food.9. Why do the tested kangaroos look the person present in the eyes?A. To try to open the box.B. To get the food in the box.C. To collect information.D. To receive human signals.10. What may McElligott think of the study?A. It’s highly significant.B. It’s really doubtful.C. It’s not practical.D. It’s quite perfect.11. What’s the best title of the text?A. Kangaroos have never been domesticated so farB. Kangaroos are well worth paying attention toC. Kangaroos can express themselves better than petsD. Kangaroos can actively communicate with humansDRange anxiety, the fear of running out of power before being able to recharge an electric vehicle, may be a thing of the past, according to a team of Penn State engineers who are looking at lithium iron phosphate batteries(磷酸铁锉电池)that have a range of 250 miles with the ability to charge in 10 minutes."We developed a pretty clever battery for mass-market electric vehicles," said Chao-Yang Wang, a professor and director of the Electrochemical Engine Center at Penn State. "There is no more rangeanxiety and this battery is affordable." The researchers also say that the battery should be good for 2 million miles in its lifetime.They report today in Nature Energy that the key to long-life and rapid recharging is the battery’s ability to quickly heat up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, for charge and discharge, and then cool down when the battery is not working.The battery uses a self-heating approach previously developed in Wang’s center. The self-heating battery uses a thin nickel foil(镍箔)with one end attached to the negative terminal and the other extending outside the cell to create a third terminal. Once electrons flow, it rapidly heats up the nick el foil through resistance heating and warms the inside of the battery. Once the battery’s inner temperature is 140 degrees Fahrenheit, the switch opens and the battery is ready for rapid charge or discharge."This battery has reduced weight, volume and cost," said Wang. "I am very happy that we finally found a battery that will benefit the mainstream consumer mass market."According to Wang, these smaller batteries can produce a large amount of power upon heating-40 kilowatt hours and 300 kilowatts of power. An electric vehicle with this battery could go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3 seconds and would drive like a Porsche, he said. "This is how we are going to change the environment and not contribute to just the expensive cars," said Wang. "Let everyone afford electric vehicles."12. Which of the following shows the range anxiety?A. Fearing that the battery can’t he recharged.B. Wondering if the battery can cover 250 miles.C. Worrying about the power of the car running out.D. Considering having no money to buy a new battery.13. Why can the battery he used for long and charged so fast?A. It can he environmentally friendly.B. It can heat up and cool down rapidly.C. It can help speed up the car instantly.D. It can discharge when it doesn’t work.14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. How the battery works.B. Advantages of the battery.C. How the battery is produced.D. Applications of the battery.15. Which of the following can best describe the batteries?A. Cheap but heavy.B. Costly but beneficial.C. Expensive but small-sized.D.

The people I knew described to me as a place where there were lots of people from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds, and where everyone was open-minded and there were discussions happening everywhere. I’m happy to say that ended up being my experience as well.I joined Lion, one of Australasia’s largest food and drink companies, as part of their graduate program, which was a fantastic opportunity, because it gave me the opportunity to work in a variety of roles, and gain experience across a variety of functions. But the thing with Lion was that they were already a very established business; they already had their processes and structures in place.When the opportunity came for me to join Culture Amp, I realized it was an opportunity to see a business grow and be part of that evolution. It was just what I wanted. That comes with its own challenges, as new problems appear you might be solving them from the very beginning, rather than having a framework to fall back on, but it also means there’s room to learn and experiment. It made me realize where my interests lie. Here in Australia, there’s a really high tolerance for change in your careers. I think it’s really easy for graduates to feel like they have to “jump” into a role, and then that’s it, forever. But the truth is, your career is a marathon. You can expect to change courses along the way, and allow your interests to open new doors.14.Why did the author choose to study in Australia?A.Her friends lived there.B.She decided to work there.C.She liked the culture there.D.She wanted to meet new people.15.Which can best describe the author’s work in Lion?A.Facing various opportunities.B.Lacking challenges.C.Demanding new structures.D.Offering limited roles.16.What did the author want to get from Culture Amp?A.Learning how to do experiments.B.Having a framework to turn to.C.Dealing with problems in wise ways.D.Experiencing a company’s development.17.What is the author’s attitude towards changing jobs?A.Uncertain.B.Objective.C.Supportive.D.Contradictory.An owl(猫头鹰) named Flaco escaped New York’s Central Park Zoo last week after his cage was broken. This set off a bird- hunt of police officers and park rangers( 护林员). Zoo officials worried that Flaco, who had been kept in his zoo cage for 13 years, may have lost the survival abilities he needed in the wild. They placed some of his favorite treats in the open air to attempt to trap him.Flaco was not fooled. Instead, he was sighted flying over 5th Avenue, and Central Park’s skating rink. A number of New Yorkers stamped into Central Park to try to catch a glimpse of Flaco, taking photos with excitement.But this week, zoo officials announced they accepted that Flaco remained in Central Park because he had been seen bringing up bones and fur from the park’s abundant community of rats. “He has been very successful at hunting and consuming the abundant rats in the park.” zoo officials told the New York Post. “And that’s amazing. He’s hunting on his own. He’s flying better. Flaco really seems to be enjoying himself out there.”There is a caution attached to this story of an owl who is making it on his own in the citythat never sleeps. Owls are nocturnal. They go around searching for food at night. They sleep during the day, or try to, like lots of people who work the overnight shift. Yet some New Yorkers who don’t know proper bird-watching behavior reportedly see Flaco sleep in a tree during the day, and begin to shout at him. It interrupts his sleep. Flaco can’t try to say “shh, shh” with the traditional New York reply. After all, a bird can’t give someone the bird. 18.Why were zoo officials concerned about Flaco’s ability to survive?A.Because his favourite food was too little.B.Because he might be attacked by police.C.Because his cage was severely damaged.D.Because he was kept in his cage for long.19.What can we infer about Flaco from the third paragraph?A.He has adapted to the wild.B.He has found his previous home.C.He still faces great challenges.D.He dislikes the rats in the park. 20.What does the underlined word “nocturnal” in paragraph 4 mean?A.Scary-looking.B.Shy and quiet.C.Active at night.D.Badly-behaved.21.Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the interruption to Flaco’s sleep?A.Cautious.B.Favorable.C.Ambiguous.D.Disapproving.We are all aware of the damaging pollution that’s created by driving petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles. Many of the world’s cities are blocked with traffic, creating fumes containing gases such as nitrogen oxides. The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be? There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done?The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue — a fully charged battery won’t take you as far as a full tank of petrol. There are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into. Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC: “The big leap forward will come with solid state batteries, which will appear first inmobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars.” These will charge more quickly and give cars a bigger range. Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power. But some countries offer incentive, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams.These kinds of measures have made Norway the country with the most electric cars per capita (人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1000 inhabitants. But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn’t mean a zero-carbon future. “It’s emission-free motoring, but the car has to be built, the battery has to be built, and the electricity does come from somewhere.” Maybe it’s time to think about making fewer journeys or using public transport. 22.What can we infer from the question at the end of paragraph 1?A.We should not be too optimistic about the future.B.Electric vehicles may not solve the traffic problems.C.It’s not a good idea to replace petrol vehicles with electric ones.D.It is not easy to obtain a greener future by means of electric vehicles.23.What does the underlined word “incentive” mean in paragraph 2?A.payment B.income C.encouragement D.method 24.Which statement is true according to the passage?A.Electric motoring will create a zero-carbon future.B.Electric cars might not get stuck in traffic jams in the future.C.There are four obstacles on the road to global traffic being totally electric.D.Putting solid-state batteries in electric cars first will be a “great leap forward”. 25.What is the most suitable title for the text?A.Total Electric Traffic: a Long Way to GoB.Electric Vehicles: a Road to a Greener FutureC.Electric Power or Petrol: a Tough Decision to MakeD.Petrol and Diesel Vehicles: a Main source of GasesDeveloping Interpersonal RelationshipsOne of the biggest keys to happiness is having strong interpersonal relationships. I believe that relationships are key to leading a fulfilling and contented life. Like anything worth having in life, they take some work to develop and maintain.In the spirit of clarity, it’s good idea to take a quick look at the definition of interpersonal relationships. 26 This can extend from family to friends, to work associates, to neighbors, or clubs and on and on. It can be a relationship in any context or situation.For instance, I’ve had strong short-lived relationships with people I’ve worked with on a project as well as one for 50 years with my brother. My two best friends and I live in different cities but, we get together several times a year and have a great time. I have a mentor I worked with over a decade ago I still stay in touch with because we get along so well. 27 We will briefly touch on developing interpersonal relationships. Best way to approach it is to be a good partner or friend as the situation desires. 28 Do your part and help others as needed. Be a contributor who is also willing to help out when needed. As a friend, you simply follow the age-old piece of advice “to have a friend, you must first be a friend”.29 That want-to-help attitude will put you with like-minded individuals who you’ll probably hit it off with. The main thing to remember is great interpersonal relationships can get formed any lace or situation where you interact with other people. 30 A.That’s how interpersonal relationship affects you.B.Interpersonal relationships serve to ease people’s anxiety.C.For instance, ensure you are a good person to work with.D.All of these are examples of strong interpersonal relationships.E.Put some effort into it and you’d be amazed at how that pays offF.An interpersonal relationship is a strong association between people.G.If you’re on a team, it should be something you’d like to help out with.三、完形填空Once a year, around the time when Christians celebrate Easter, Muslims celebrate Ramadan and Jews celebrate Passover, I often invite my 24-person team to a joyful andYet when people 38 my lab, they gather together, first through their common 39 for science, and then as they get to know one another and enjoy spare time activities, we become a cohesive(有凝聚力的) team.

AA notice at IKEA Shanghai has been shared widely among netizens on Chinese social media. It states tha t the store’s cafeteria now requires customers to order food before sitting down in cafeteria seats. The policy is in response to an elderly blind dating group that occupies seats for a long time, consuming only their own food brought from home. Do you sup port IKEA’s new regulation? China Daily readers share their opinions with us.Lee Xin (China)The elderly are harmless. They are lonely and are probably hoping to find some company again. If anything, the store should at least sympathize with these old people.Mbursian (US)This is more for socializing than for romance. I really don’t think a home furnishing store is a good dating place for seniors.IKEA could also post a reasonable time limit per visit during peak hours. Or instead of tables and chairs, they could use those standing tables and get rid of the chairs altogether. At least IKEA’s cafeteria isn’t occupied by the dancing grannies and their portable PA systems.Mr. Qiu (Shanghai, China 65 years old)We have been to fast food outlets like McDonald’s, but there are barely any peers there. We feel like aliens surrounded by youngsters. If there is another place in Shanghai where elderly people can gather, we are more than ready to pay twice as much and travel further.TedM (UK)Romance can arise in many places, even IKEA. However, this debate arose as a result of many people taking advantage of IKEA’s generous drink offers and going there to meet and stay with friends without buying anything. IKEA is a shop; it exists to provide a service for a reasonable profit. It is not a public park.Michel (New Zealand)To everyone romanticizing this, please also consider that the store has an image to uphold while protecting the interests of other paying customers. It is ugly to take up seats for such long durations while you make others wait.31. How many people are in support of this new regulation?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.32. What is the major cause of this new regulation?A. Senior blind dates influencing their business.B. IKEA has zero tolerance for romantic behavior.C. The strong reaction of netizens on social media.D. Old people eating their own food to save money.33. People who are against the new regulation will probably agree that .A. seniors’ love affairs can contribute to the store’s imageB. IKEA is the only place where seniors can find their peersC. the society is being too judgmental and lacks understandingD. IKEA should not reserve a special area for the old people to dateBDirector James Cameron went to new depths for his film-making on Sunday by setting the world record for the deepest ocean dive by a single person.This type of extreme research is nothing new to the director. Cameron, 57, is most famous for directing Titanic (1997) and Avantar (2009). During the several years of research for Titanic, he famously traveled to the bottom of the ocean to visit the sunken ship. He also visited the deep sea as research for his fictional 1989 film. The Abyss, which is about a submarine that comes across an alien species. "Most people know me as a film-maker, "Cameron said. "But the idea of exploring the ocean has always been the stronger drive in my life.Cameron and his team had been preparing for the trip for seven years. On Sunday, Cameron took more than two and a half hours to make the dangerous 6.8-mile journey down to the Trench, an area with near-freezing temperatures, no sunlight, and heavy water pressure. Cameron traveled in a 24-foot-long mini-submarine he helped design, equipped with lights and 3D cameras for filming the adventure. It also had a mechanical arm for collecting samples of soil and deep-sea creatures. Humans had not visited the Mariana Trench since two divers first reached the deep-sea spot in 1960. The divers Don Walsh and Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard spent 20 minutes there but could hardly see anything. They took no pictures.In his well-equipped submarine, Cameron was able to spend three hours in the Trench, exploring and filming. He plans to use his recordings in a 3D film production for movie theaters and for a National Geographic TV special. “I see this as the beginning,” Cameron said. “It's not a one-time deal. This is just the beginning of opening up this new frontier.”34. We learn from the passage that James Cameron______A. won't dive again in the futureB. is known as a film-maker to most peopleC. is the only one who has ever been to the deep oceanD. is famous for having reached the deepest ocean with his friends35. Which of the following is TRUE about the film The Abyss?A. It takes place underwater.B. It was Cameron's first fictional filmC. Cameron spent seven years researching for itD. Cameron dived to the bottom of the Trench for it36. It can be inferred from the passage that________.A. Cameron is very interested in high-techB. Cameron plans to use his recordings in the deep sea in all his filmsC. Cameron will continue his exploration of the deep oceanD. Cameron wants to make a lot of money from his exploration37. What's the best title for the passage?A. The Great Movies of James CameronB. James Cameron’s AutobiographyC. Hardship Under WaterD. A Director's Deep DiveCDon't get mad the next time you catch your teenager texting when he promised to be studying. He simply may not be able to resist. A UI (University of Iowa) study found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long-term payoff of studying “For the teenager, the rewards are attractive, ” says Professor Jatin Vaidya, an author of the study. “They draw adolescents. Sometimes, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even when a behavior is no longer in a teenager's best interest to continue, he will still go on. That’s because the effect of the reward is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults.”For parents, that means limiting distractions so teenagers can make better choices. Take the homework and social media dilemma for example: At 9 p.m., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facebook or Twitter, the researchers advise. "I m not saying they shouldn’t be allowed access to technology, Vaidya says. "But some help in netting their concentration is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse(冲动)-control skills.In their study, Vaidya and co-author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are impulsive, make bad decisions, and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes(额叶) of their brains are not fully developed. But the UT researchers wonder whether something more fundamental is going on with adolescents to cause behaviors independent of higher-level reasoning.“We want to try to understand how the brains reward system changes from childhood to adulthood, "says Vaidya, who adds the reward character in the human brain is easier than decision-making. "We’ve been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescence behavior than an underdeveloped frontal lobe, "he adds. For their study, the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 and 16, and 40 adults, aged 20 and 35 to participate.In the future, researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological aspects of their results.38. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Adolescents care more about instant rewards.C. Adolescents are most fond of texting to friends.B. Adolescents cannot resist temptation of bigger rewards.D. Adolescents are sensitive to the effect of their behaviors.39. What is the underlined word distractions closest in meaning to?A. Immediate rewards.B. The pull of social media.C. Concentration training.D. Obstacles to attention.40. Which statement agrees with Jatin Vaidya's idea?A. Children should have access to the InternetB. Children need help in maintaining their attention.C. Parents should help children in making decisions.D. The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents41. What result does teenagers’ brain underdevelopment lead to?A. Making good decisionsB. Avoiding risky behaviorC. Joining in dangerous actionsD. Doing things after some thoughtDIn life, we're often torn between the person we want to be and the person we ought to be. Yet, while many hesitate to take the risks of becoming their "ideal self', a new study shows that people regret not running after their passion.Inspired by research published in the 1990s, psychologist Thomas Gilovich along with his colleague built upon his original study, which proved that regrets came from what people hadn't done, by looking into the content of people's most enduring regrets grown from not living up to our "ideal self", as opposed to not living according to our "ought self".Researchers began by explaining the difference between regrets concerning the "ideal self" and the "ought self", before asking participants to list their regrets. Across the six different studies conducted as part of this project, participants said they experienced regrets concerning their ideal self more often. They also mentioned more ideal-self regrets than ought-self regrets when asked to list their regrets in life so far."Our work is the first to show that people's biggest life regrets more often involve failures to live up to their ideal self than their ought self," the researchers said. They advise that people go on with caution, as the best way to live depends on how much weight you place on your ought self and your ideal self. If you care more about your ought self, you'll be wise to minimize your regrets by thinking twice before going ahead and seizing the moment.Despite this research, however, knowing what you want and pursuing that passion are two different things. Maybe you'll be encouraged by a quote from Mark Twain:" Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, and catch the trade winds in your sails."42. What did Thomas's original study prove?A. People didn't take a risk in life.B. People regretted what they hadn't done.C. People lived up to their ideal self.D. People regretted pursuing their passion.43. How was the researchers' new study carried out?A. By analyzing six different studies.B. By analyzing people's various responses.C. By explaining the difference among regrets.D. By comparing ideal-self and ought-self regrets.44. What did the researchers advise people to do?A. Look back now and then.B. Think twice before feeling regretful.C. Live according to their choice.D. Care more about their own life.45. What is implied in Mark Twain's quote in the last paragraph?A. Everyone should be forced to pursue their goals.B. Everyone should make full use of their surroundings.C. Everyone should have the courage to pursue their goals.D. Everyone should stop themselves from getting disappointed.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
