以我的周末生活为题写一篇作文英语全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Weekend LifeThe weekend is the best part of the week for me! I get to sleep in late, play outside, and spend time with my family without having to worry about school or homework. My weekends are filled with fun activities that I really enjoy.On Saturday mornings, I love waking up naturally without an alarm clock going off. My parents let me sleep as late as I want on the weekends. Sometimes I sleep until 10am! When I finally wake up, I head to the kitchen for a big breakfast. My favorite is pancakes with syrup and bacon on the side. My mom makes the fluffiest pancakes – they're so delicious!After breakfast, I get dressed and then it's playtime! If the weather is nice, I go outside to run around and play games with my neighborhood friends. We have a couple of empty lots on our street that are perfect for everything from tag to kickball to building forts out of sticks and leaves. My best friend Tyler lives right next door, so he's usually out playing too. We've beenfriends since we were babies and our moms remind us of that all the time by showing baby pictures!When we get tired of running around, sometimes we'll set up a lemonade stand to try to make some money. Tyler's older sister helps us make pitchers of fresh lemonade, then we find some cardboard to make signs advertising our stand. We set up a little table on the street corner with a big jug of lemonade and cups. Tyler and I take turns being the "salesperson" while the other one tries to get people's attention by calling out things like "Get your ice cold lemonade here!" and waving our signs around. Most people just keep driving by, but every once in a while someone nice will stop and buy a cup from us for 25 cents. We're probably just breaking even with the money we make compared to what we spent on lemonade supplies, but it's really fun to run our own little business!In the afternoons, I'll head inside to have lunch, take a break, and maybe watch some TV or read comic books for a little while. My parents make me take "rest time" for an hour or so after playing hard in the morning. I don't mind too much, because I get tired and it's nice to relax with a snack, something to drink, and my favorite shows or books for a bit. After rest time, I'll findmy parents and ask what we're doing for the rest of the day. Sometimes we have plans, but often we're just relaxing at home.If we're home for the afternoon, my dad and I might work on building something with tools or play games together. He's teaching me how to use a hammer, screwdrivers, wrenches, and other tools safely so I can start making things out of wood. So far I've built a few plain boxes, but my dream is to make a cool wooden sword to play with! We also put together jigsaw puzzles, play board games like Checkers, or flick around a lacrosse ball in the backyard. My dad is so much fun and doesn't act too grown-up on the weekends.My mom also hangs out with me a lot on Saturdays too. She'll help me bake cookies, cupcakes, or other desserts and let me lick the bowls and beaters when we're done mixing everything up. Yum! Then we get to eat our creations afterward. Sometimes she takes me shopping for new toys, books, clothes, or just walks around stores with me browsing. I love going to the toy store and looking at all the cool new toys, even if I don't get to take any home. We also craft together sometimes - making things out of popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, construction paper, or whatever random art supplies she finds for me. My favorite iswhen we do Fun Sculpting with Model Magic clay and make all sorts of crazy animal shapes.At night, we'll have a family dinner together. We talk about our days and my parents ask what I did and what kind of games I played that day. After dinner, we'll watch a movie or TV show as a family, snuggled up on the couch with popcorn and other snacks nearby. I'm allowed to stay up way later than normal on weekend nights, so the movies don't have to be done until 10pm or so. Of course I always fall asleep before they're over though!When I wake up on Sunday morning, I can't wait to see what fun that day will bring. Sometimes we'll go somewhere special as a family like a museum, the zoo, mini golf, or out to a restaurant I really like. But often Sundays are just low-key days for being lazy around the house. I'll play with my toys, read, or watch shows. My parents let me have "tv day" sometimes where I can just veg out on the couch or in my room watching shows pretty much all day if I want! Other times we'll open up the sprinkler or small pool in the backyard and I'll run through the water for hours.My parents really let me be a kid and just relax on weekends. There's no schedule, no set bedtime, and I can just enjoy being young and free. I get to do activities that are just for fun, without having to think about school or lessons. Weekends go by soquickly, but they're packed with quality time with my family. I cherish every Saturday and Sunday because I know I'll be back to my regular routine of school, homework, and earlier bedtimes once Monday morning arrives. But that's okay, because I can always look forward to the next wonderful weekend!篇2My Weekend LifeThe weekends are the best part of the week for me! School is fun and all, but having two whole days off to do whatever I want is simply amazing. My weekends are always filled with adventures, games, and spending quality time with my family. Let me tell you all about the exciting things I get up to every Saturday and Sunday.Saturday mornings are my absolute favorite. I get to sleep in as late as I want with no teachers or parents nagging me to get out of bed. When I finally do wake up, I head straight to the kitchen for a heaping bowl of my favorite sugary cereals. My parents are always trying to get me to eat healthier on weekdays, so weekends are my chance to indulge in all the good stuff.After breakfast, I'll usually plop myself down on the couch and watch a few hours of cartoons. There's nothing better thanlounging in my pajamas, eating junk food, and laughing at silly cartoon hijinks. My little sister will sometimes join me, but more often than not she gets bored after a while. She's only 5 years old, so her attention span isn't the greatest.Once I've gotten my fill of TV time, it's playground o'clock! I'll rally up any neighborhood kids who are free and we'll head to the park near my house. We have competitions to see who can swing the highest, race each other down the twisty slides, and take turns monkeying around on the jungle gym. Sometimes we'll even pack a picnic lunch and make a whole day of it.If the weather is crummy and we can't go to the park, my friends and I will congregate at someone's house for an epic video game marathon instead. We'll hook up every games console we can find and spend hours questing, racing, battling, you name it. I'm the reigning champion of our Mario Kart tournaments, but my skills are hotly contested every weekend.On Sunday mornings, my family has a tradition of going out for a fancy brunch. We'll get all dressed up and head to a nice restaurant for a big meal with all the trimmings - pancakes, waffles, omelettes, hash browns, bacon, you get the idea. I pile my plate as high as I can and drown everything in maple syrup. It's heaven!Sundays are usually reserved for family time and outings. Sometimes we'll go bowling and I'll show off my crazy skilled curve ball. Other times we'll check out a museum and I'll get to explore awesome exhibitions about dinosaurs, space, you name it. My personal favorite is going to the movies and loading up on popcorn, candy, and soda while we watch the latest blockbusters.When we're not out and about, we'll hang around the house playing board games and video games as a family. My dad is a total joke-ster, so he's always making us crack up. My little sis and I gang up on my parents and absolutely demolish them at everything from Monopoly to Mario Party. We're an unstoppable team!As evening rolls around, I'll settle in and read books, comics, or magazines until bedtime. I've got my own personal reading nook all setup with beanbags, fun lighting, and loads of things to read. It's my super cozy refuge to escape to at the end of the day.Once my head finally hits the pillow, I'll lie awake for a little while reminiscing about the amazing weekend I just had. I'll think about all the adventures, laughter, and quality time I got to spend with my awesome family and friends. Then I'll drift off to sleep, eagerly awaiting the arrival of next weekend!Weekends are what I live for. They give me a chance to pursue all my favorite hobbies, indulge in my guilty pleasures, and make a million new fun memories. School is important of course, but those two glorious days of freedom are what truly make me happy. I can't wait to see what excitement next weekend holds!篇3My Weekend LifeThe weekend is the best time of the week! It's when I get to have fun and do all the things I love. My weekend starts on Friday after school. I rush home, drop my backpack, and get my snack on. Maybe some chips or cookies if I'm feeling like a treat.Once I've refueled, it's time for outdoor adventures! My friends and I love going to the park near our houses. We have epic games of chase and hide-and-seek in the woods. We also bring our scooters, bikes, and skateboards to ride around on the paths. Sometimes we'll take turns on the swings too, seeing who can go the highest.When we get tired of running around, we'll sprawl out on the grass and look up at the clouds. We try to find funny shapes likedragons or ice cream cones. My friend Jake always sees food shapes because he's always thinking about his next meal!As the sun starts to go down, we head back home for dinner with our families. After eating, it's video game time! I'm super into Mario Kart right now and am determined to get first place on Rainbow Road. My siblings and I will play together for hours, only stopping for snack breaks.On Saturday mornings, I sleep in as late as I'm allowed. My parents have to practically drag me out of bed! Once I'm up though, I have a mega big breakfast. Pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, hash browns...I want it all!After breakfast, if it's nice out, my family will go on a hike in the woods near our house. We look for cool bugs, birds, and anything else neat in nature. My little sister is obsessed with the outdoors and knows everything about plants and animals. If it's raining, we'll go to the movies instead and load up on popcorn and candy.The afternoons are for sports! In the fall, I play soccer every Saturday. I'm the striker on my team and have scored lots of goals this season. In spring, it's baseball and I pitch for my team. We practice fielding, hitting, and running the bases for hours.By the time sports are done, I'm wiped out. I'll veg on the couch for a while, maybe reading comics or watching cartoons to recharge. Then it's dinner time again! We'll either order pizza or my dad will fire up the grill. Burgers, hot dogs, or bbq chicken are my faves.After dinner, my family and I will play board games or do a puzzle together. My mom always wins at Scrabble and I get so frustrated! I like action-packed games like Guess Who and Battleship better. No matter how well I do though, my parents always make sure I don't stay up too late. School nights I have to be in bed by 9pm.Finally, it's Sunday - my day to relax before the school week starts up again. I'll sleep in late again, then lounge around in my pajamas for most of the day. Maybe I'll play some video games, maybe I'll read, or maybe I'll build thing with Legos. Sundays are also my chore days, so I have to clean my room and do other housework stuff. I really don't like chores, but I know I have to do them.By Sunday evening, I'm looking forward to going back to school on Monday to see my friends and learn new things. The weekend went by way too fast as usual! I'll spend the night getting my backpack and outfit ready for the next day. Before Iknow it, my mom is calling lights out and the weekend is officially over. I fall asleep dreaming about next weekend's adventures!篇4My Awesome Weekend LifeWeekends are the best! They are the only days when I don't have to wake up super early and go to school. Instead, I get to sleep in late, eat yummy breakfast foods, and have fun all day long. My weekends are always totally awesome!On Saturday mornings, I usually wake up around 9am. My mom lets me sleep as late as I want on the weekends because she knows how tired I get from going to school all week. When I finally roll out of bed, I go downstairs in my pajamas and slippers. My dad is usually cooking a big breakfast like pancakes, waffles, bacon and eggs. The amazing smells from the kitchen wake me up fully. I plop down at the table, rub the sleep from my eyes, and dig into the delicious breakfast.After breakfast, I might play some video games for a little while. My favorites are Super Mario Odyssey and Minecraft. I like building crazy worlds and going on Adventures in those games.Sometimes my little brother wants to play too, but he's not very good yet. I have to help him a lot.Once I've had my gaming fix for the morning, it's time to go outside and play! On nice days, I love riding my bike around the neighborhood with my friends. We zip down the streets and see who can go the fastest. My bike is red and super cool. I also like playing basketball, soccer, or just running around in the backyard. My parents are always telling me to go get some fresh air and exercise.For lunch on Saturdays, we sometimes get takeout like pizza, burgers or Chinese food. Yum! Other times, my mom packs a picnic and we'll eat at a park. I'll play on the swings, slides and monkey bars after eating. Parks are one of my favorite places on the weekends.In the afternoons, my family and I might go do something fun together. Maybe we'll go bowling, to the movies, or to a museum. Last weekend, we went ice skating at the indoor rink. I held onto the wall for dear life and my legs were like jelly, but it was a blast! The weekend before that, we went to the children's museum and I got to pretend to be a doctor, construction worker and scientist. Too fun!If the weather is bad and we have to stay inside, I'll either read books, do arts and crafts, or build epic forts and pretend towns out of blankets, cushions and cardboard boxes. My imagination runs wild on rainy weekends when I'm stuck indoors. One time, I even pretended our living room was a jungle full of dangerous animals! My little brother was a brave explorer with me.Once dinner time rolls around, we'll have a delicioushome-cooked meal as a family. Afterwards, we'll watch a movie or some shows together. Then it's time for me to get ready for bed around 9pm. I take my bath, brush my teeth, put on my pajamas and snuggle into my warm bed. I always sleep really well on Saturday nights after having such an awesome day!Sundays are a lot like Saturdays, but also a little different. I get to sleep in again until around 9 or 10am. For breakfast, we'll either go out to our favorite pancake place or my dad will make his supreme breakfast burritos at home. Mmm, I can taste them now!After breakfast, we always go to church for a couple hours. I don't love having to get dressed up and sit still, but I do like seeing my friends and the singing part. Plus, my parents say it'simportant to go. When we get home, I get to take off my fancy clothes and get into comfy lounge-wear again. Freedom!Sunday afternoons are pretty chill and relaxing. Sometimes we'll go visit family like my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Other times we'll stay home and I'll draw pictures, do puzzles, or play board games if it's too cold or rainy to go outside. My dad is really competitive and always wants to win at games! He gets a little crazy.For dinner on Sundays, we'll either get take-out again or grill burgers or hot dogs outside if it's nice out. Then we'll watch a movie as a family before it's time for bed again. I always feel a little sad on Sunday nights because I know I have to go back to school the next day. But at least I get to recharge my batteries all weekend and have lots of fun!Those are pretty much my typical awesome weekends! Of course, they are never exactly the same and we mix it up a lot. But anything beats having to go to school and do endless homework and chores. Weekends are the times I get to really be a kid - playing, having adventures, using my imagination and just enjoying life. I wish they could last forever! Well, at least I know another weekend is right around the corner. Bring it on!篇5My Wonderful WeekendsWeekends are the best time of the week for me! I eagerly wait for them to arrive so I can enjoy fun activities and have a break from school. My weekends are filled with exciting adventures, quality family time, and plenty of opportunities to pursue my hobbies and interests.On Friday evenings, I can hardly contain my excitement as the final school bell rings. I rush home, quickly change out of my uniform, and get ready for a weekend of enjoyment. Sometimes, my parents plan a special family outing or activity for us to do together on Friday night. Other times, we have a cozy evening at home, ordering pizza or my favorite Chinese takeout.One of my favorite weekend traditions is our family movie night on Fridays. We take turns choosing the movie, and I always look forward to my turn to pick. I love snuggling up on the couch with my parents and younger brother, munching on popcorn and losing ourselves in the magical world of the film. Whether it's an action-packed superhero flick or a heartwarming animated tale, movie nights are a cherished time for us to bond and create lasting memories.Saturdays are often filled with outdoor adventures and physical activities. If the weather is nice, we might go for a hike in the nearby woods or visit the local park for a picnic and some playtime on the swings and slides. I love exploring nature and getting some fresh air after a week cooped up in the classroom.Other times, we'll head to the community center or recreation complex for swimming lessons or a game of basketball or tennis. I'm a pretty active kid, and sports are a great way for me to expend some energy and stay healthy. My parents always encourage me to try new activities, and I've recently taken an interest in rock climbing and martial arts.In the afternoons, I sometimes attend birthday parties or playdates with my friends from school. We love running around, playing games like tag or hide-and-seek, and just being silly together. It's a chance for us to be kids and not worry about schoolwork or responsibilities.Sundays are a bit more relaxed, but still full of fun and quality family time. We usually attend church in the morning, and then have a big, delicious brunch together afterwards. I love the pancakes, waffles, and french toast that my dad makes – he's an excellent cook!After brunch, we might run some errands or do a little bit of cleaning around the house. But we always make sure to set aside time for rest, relaxation, and pursuing our hobbies and interests.I love curling up with a good book or working on my latest art project or craft. My brother enjoys building with Lego, while my parents like to work in the garden or on home improvement projects.Sometimes, we'll invite extended family or friends over for a backyard barbecue or potluck dinner. I cherish these gatherings, as they provide opportunities for me to spend time with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We'll play games, tell stories, and just enjoy each other's company.As the weekend draws to a close on Sunday evenings, I always feel a bit sad. But I also feel refreshed, recharged, and ready to tackle the upcoming school week. My weekends are a time for me to recharge my batteries, spend quality time with my loved ones, and engage in activities that bring me joy and fulfillment.I'm so grateful to have such wonderful weekends filled with love, laughter, and countless opportunities for fun and personal growth. These cherished days off from school are what I lookforward to the most each week, and they provide me with precious memories that I'll carry with me forever.篇6My Weekend LifeThe best part of the week is definitely the weekend! I get so excited when Friday comes around because that means I get two whole days off from school. Weekends are the best time to have fun, relax, and do all the things I love.On Saturday mornings, I usually sleep in pretty late. My mom lets me stay in bed until I wake up on my own instead of setting an alarm clock. Sometimes I'll sleep until 10 or even 11am! Once I'm awake, I head to the kitchen for a big breakfast. My favorite is chocolate chip pancakes topped with whipped cream and strawberries. Yum!After breakfast, I'll play video games or watch cartoons for a little while. I'm really into Minecraft right now. I can spend hours just mining, building, and exploring the game world. My mom has to keep reminding me to "come up for air" sometimes. I also like watching things like SpongeBob, The Fairly OddParents, and Teen Titans Go! on television.In the afternoon, my friends and I will usually make plans to get together and do something fun. We really like going to the park to play on the swings, climb on the jungle gym, or have games of tag or hide-and-seek. Sometimes we'll have picnics at the park and our parents will pack us lunches to eat outside. Other times we go to each other's houses and have sleepovers or backyard campouts.My friends and I are really creative and we're always coming up with imaginary games and scenarios to act out. One day we might pretend to be superheroes saving the world. Another day we're explorers discovering uncharted lands and ancient treasures. We just use our minds and whatever toys or props we can find to build awesome makebelieve adventures.When the weather is nice, my dad will sometimes take me mini-golfing or to hit balls at the batting cages. Those are really fun activities we can do together. I'm still pretty bad at both mini-golf and batting, but my dad is really patient with me and helps me practice my swing and putting stroke. We always get ice cream or frozen yogurt afterwards as a treat.For dinner on weekends, we'll often get takeout or make my favorite homemade meals like tacos, spaghetti and meatballs, or veggie stir-fry. Then we'll watch a movie together as a familywhile snacking on popcorn or bake fresh cookies for dessert. I really cherish that family time on weekends.Sundays are a little more laid back and relaxing. We'll go to church in the morning, then come home and have a big lunch like fried chicken or pot roast. I'll spend the afternoon playing quietly by myself — reading books, doing craft projects, or working on a puzzle. Maybe I'll FaceTime my cousins who live far away and chat with them for awhile.As the day winds down on Sunday evening, my mom will make me take a bath and get my backpack and lunchbox ready for Monday morning. I really dread going back to school after two awesome days off! But at least I have my weekend memories to look back on until the next Friday finally arrives.Weekends are magical times for a kid. You get to just be free and have fun without any of the rules, schedules, or responsibilities of school days. I can sleep late, be outside all day, use my imagination, and just kind of exist in my own little kid world for 48 blissful hours. Weekends are when I make so many happy memories — sleepovers with friends, family movie nights, playing at the park. I live for weekends! School days are ok, but weekends are where it's at. I wish they lasted forever!。

Textbook publisher Pearson is the largest publisher — of any kind — in the world.It costs about $1 million to create a new textbook. A freshman textbook will have dozens of contributors, from subject-matter experts through graphic and layout artists to expert reviewers and classroom testers. Textbook publishers connect professors, instructors and students in ways that alternatives, such as open e-textbooks and open educational resources, simply do not. This connection happens not only by means of collaborative development, review and testing, but also at conferences where faculty regularly decide on their textbooks and curricula for the coming year.It is true that textbook publishers have recently reported losses, largely due to students renting or buying used print textbooks. But this can be chalked up to the excessively high cost of their books — which has increased over 1,000 percent since 1977. A restructuring of the textbook industry may well be in order. But this does not mean the end of the textbook itself.While they may not be as dynamic as an iPad, textbooks are not passive or lifeless. For example, over the centuries, they have simulated (模拟) dialogues in a number of ways. From 1800 to the recent day, textbooks have done this by posing questions for students to answer inductively (归纳性地). That means students are asked to use their individual experience to come up with answers to general questions. Today’s psychology texts, for example, ask: “How much of your personality do you think you inherited?” while ones in physics say: “How can you predict where the ball you tossed will land?”Experts observe that “textbooks come in layers, something like an onion.” For an active learner, engaging with a textbook can be an interactive experience: Readers proceed at their own pace. They “customize” their books by engaging with different layers and linkages. Highlighting, Post-It notes, dog-ears and other techniques allow for further customization that students value in print books over digital forms of books.36. What does the passage say about open educational resources?A．They contribute to teaching as much as to learning.B．They don’t profit as much as traditional textbooks do.C．They can’t connect professors and students as textbooks do.D．They compete fiercely for customers with textbook producers.37. What is the main cause of the publishers’ losses?A．Failure to meet student need. B．Industry restructuring.C．Emergence of e-books. D．Falling sales.38. What are students expected to do in the learning process?A．Think carefully before answering each question.B．Ask questions based on their own understanding.C．Answer questions using their personal experience.D．Give answers showing their respective personality.39. What do experts say about students using textbooks?A．They can digitalize the prints easily.B．They can learn in an interactive way.C．They can purchase customized versions.D．They can adapt the material themselves.How a few members of the animal kingdom handle the transition to adulthood?African elephantsThese beautiful beasts come close to imitate teen rebellion. Calves spend a decade with their mothers in female-dominated groups ---- and ladies stay there ---- but adolescent boys leave mom for noisy crews of bros. In their 20s, they often downsize to smaller male groups.Orangutans (猩猩)Slow metabolism allows these primates to survive food shortages ---- times when weather makes ripe fruit scarce. But energy efficiency comes at a cost; growth and maturation take time. Orangutan mamas nurse their young longer than any other wild creature does.Orcas(逆戟鲸)Killer whales join their mother’s familial group for life. This lasting-relationship seems to increase a pup’s chance of survival; if mom dies, a young male (under 30) is three times more likely to die than a peer whose mother is alive. Risk of death post-mom-mortem rises as kids get older.Harp sealsA harp seal’s “childhood” lasts just 12 days. A pup’s sole purpose during that brief period of coddling(宠爱) is to constantly nurse, gaining a fifth of its birth weight in blubber(鲸脂) every day. Once it’s fat ---- they become greater from 25 to 80 pounds ---- it slides off the ice and takes on the sea.Wolf spidersEvery parent knows that tired toddlers love to hitch a piggyback ride. The wolf spider straps all her babies (40 or 50, on average) onto her back at once, carrying the brood until they are capable of fully functional spider-hood. But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days.40. According to the passage, which animals take the biggest responsibility in raising their young?A．Harp seals. B．African elephants C．Orcas. D．Wolf spiders.41. What can we learn from the sentence “But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days”?A．Other grown wolf spiders will come to take care of the babies.B．The toddlers are too heavy for parents to hitch a piggyback ride.C．Baby spiders are able to live on their own after a short period of time.D．Baby spiders can make full use of spider-hood before they leave their parents.42. Who will be interested in this passage?A．A student who is doing a project on animal growth.B．A kid who is keen on animal watching.C．A zoo-worker who is responsible for visitors’ safety.D．A doctor who specializes in animals’ health.Scientific publishing has long been a license to print money. Scientists need journals in which to publish their research, so they will supply the articles without monetary reward. Other scientists perform the specialized work of peer review also for free, because it is a central element in the acquisition of status and the production of scientific knowledge.With the content of papers secured for free, the publisher needs only find a market for its journal. Until this century, university libraries were not very price sensitive. Scientific publishers routinely report profit margins approaching 40% on their operations, at a time when the rest of the publishing industry is in an existential crisis.The Dutch giant Elsevier, which claims to publish 25% of the scientific papers produced in the world , made profits of more than £900m last year, while UK universities alone spent more than £210m in 2016 to enable researchers to access their own publicly funded research; both figures seem to rise unstoppably despite increasingly desperate efforts to change them.The most drastic, and thoroughly illegal, reaction has been the emergence of Sci-Hub, a kind of global photocopier for scientific papers, set up in 2012, which now claims to offer access to every paywalled article published since 2015. The success of Sci-Hub, which relies on researchers passing on copies they have themselves legally accessed, shows the legal ecosystem has lost legitimacy among its users and must be transformed so that it works for all participants.In Britain the move towards open access publishing has been driven by funding bodies. In some ways it has been very successful. More than half of all British scientific research is now published under open access terms: either freely available from the moment of publication, or paywalled for a year or more so that the publishers can make a profit before being placed on general release.Yet the new system has not worked out any cheaper for the universities. Publishers have responded to the demand that they make their product free to readers by charging their writers fees to cover the costs of preparing an article. These range from around ￡500 to $5,000. A report last year pointed out that the costs both of subscriptions and of these “article preparation costs” had been steadily rising at a rate above inflation. In some ways the scientific publishing model resembles the economy of the social internet: labour is provided free in exchange for the hope of status, while huge profits are made by a few big firms who run the market places. In both cases, we need a rebalancing of power.43. Scientific publishing is seen as “a license to print money” partly because________A．its funding has enjoyed a steady increase. B．its marketing strategy has been successful.C．its payment for peer review is reduced. D．its content acquisition costs nothing. 44. Which statement is true from Paragraphs 2 to 4?A．Scientific publisher Elsevier have thrived mainly on university libraries.B．Most scientific publishers gone through an existential crisis until this century.C．Sci-Hub offers free access to paywalled articles published since 2015.D．The researchers’ legally-accessed copies deny the legal ecosystem legitimacy.45. It can be learned from Paragraphs 5 and 6 that open access terms________A．allow publishers some room to make B．render publishing much easier formoney. scientists.D．free universities from financial burdens.C．reduce the cost of publicationsubstantially.46. Which of the following characteristics the scientific publishing model?A．Trial subscription is offered. B．Labour triumphs over status.C．Costs are well controlled. D．The few feed on the many.In a social situation, eye contact with another person can show that you are paying attention in a friendly way. But it can also be antagonistic such as when a political candidate tums toward their competitor during a debate and makes eye contact that signals hostility. Here ‘s what har d science reveals about eye contact:We know that a typical infant will instinctively gaze into its mother’s eyes, and she will look back. This mutual gaze is a major part of the attachment between mother and child. 47 . It can catch someone’s attention in a crowded room, “Eye contact and smile” can signal availability and confidence, a common-sense notion supported in studies by psychologist Monica Moore.48 . Neuroscientist Bonnie Augeung found that the hormone oxytocin increased the amount of eye contact from men toward the interviewer during a brief interview when the direction of their gaze was recorded. This was also found in high- functioning men with some autistic spectrum symptoms, who may tend to avoid eye contact. Specific brain regions that respond during direct gaze are being explored by other researches, using advanced methods of brain scanning.Eye contact can also be aggressive. With the use of eye-tracking technology, Julia Minson of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government concluded that eye contact can signal very different kinds of messages, depending on the situation. Eye contact may be a sign of connection or trust in friendly situations. 49 . Whether you’re a politician or a parent, it might be helpful to keep ‘in mind that tryin g to maintain eye contact may backfire if you’re trying to convince someone who has a different set of beliefs than you,“ said Minson.Eye fixations are brief. When we look at a face or a picture, our eyes pause on one spot at a time, often on the eyes or mouth. These pauses typically occur at about three per second, and the eyes then jump to another spot, until several important points in the image are registered like a series of snapshots. 50 . And it is the subject of current research.In people who score high in a test of neuroticism, a personality dimension associated with self-consciousness and anxiety, eye contact triggered more activity associated with avoidance, according to the Finnish researcher Jari Hietanen and colleagues. but that their brain reactions also differ-” A more direct finding is that people who scored high for negative emotions like anxiety looked at others for shorter periods of time and reported more comfortable feelings when others did not look directly at them.passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Thinking small, being engaging, and having a sense of humor don’t hurt. Those are a few of the traits of successful science crowdfunding efforts that emerge from a recent study that examined nearly 400 campaigns. But having a large network and some promotional skills may be more crucial.Crowdfunding, raising money for a project through online appeals, has taken off in recent years for everything from making movies to producing water-saving gadgets. Scientists have tried to tap Internet donors, too, with mixed success. Some raised more than twice their goals, but others have fallen short of reaching even modest targets.To determine what separates science crowdfunding triumphs from failures, a team led by science communications scholar Mike Schafer of the University of Zurich examined the content of the webpages for 371 recent campaigns.Four traits stood out for those that achieved their goals, the researchers report in Public Understanding of Science. For one, they use a crowdfunding platform that specializes in raising money for science, and not just any kind of project. Although sites like Kickstarter take all comers, platforms such as and only present scientific projects. For another, they present the project with a funny video because good visuals and a sense of humor improved success. Most of them engage with potential donors, since projects that answered questions from interested donors fared better. And they target a small amount of money. The projects included in the study raised $4000 on average, with 30% receiving less than $1000. The more money a project sought, the lower the chance it reached its goal, the researchers found.Crowdfunding can be part of researchers’ efforts to reach the public, and people give because “they feel a connection to the person” who is doing the fundraising — not necessarily to the science.________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________52. 面临意外情况，我们不应该显得缺乏勇气和自信。
