Rather, it’s because of good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this year’s large crop s, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to stuff it with zucchini（西葫芦）.My sister, Sharon, recently had a good year of tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they begun to feel their skin turn slightly red. She decided to share her blessings. She called everyone she knew. When that failed, she began asking everyone in the neighborhood, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. “Feel free to take whatever you want,” Sharon told her. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn’t go to waste.A few days later, the neighbor appeared in her house, holding a hot loaf of bread. She smiled,” I wanted to thank you for the tomatoes, and I have to admit I took a few other things too.”Sharon couldn’t think of anything else that had been worth harvesting and said so,” Oh, but you did,” the neighbor said. “You had some of the prettiest zucchiniI’ve ever seen.”Sharon was confused. They hadn’t even planted any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted there were bright-green zucchini in her garden. Sharon decided to go to see where the zucchini had grown. The two of them walked into the backyard. When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables, Sharon smiled,” Well, actually, those are cucumbers that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating.”The neighbor looked at Sharon, shock written all over her face. Then, smiling, she held out the bread she had shared all over the neighborhood. “I brought you a nice loaf of cucumber bread. I hope you will like it.”24.

But can you also smell their happiness?Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell, reports .For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the samples, apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling—though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents.Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents—particularly their facial expressions—indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them.“Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell,” said study co-author Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey.This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others. The study also found that other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too. This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.Researchers have yet to isolate exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be. Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies（香味疗法）could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however, is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and also how our own emotions arepotentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.28. What is the main finding of the new research?A. Pleasant feelings can be smelt out.B. Negative emotions have a smell.C. Men produce more sweats.D. Women have a better sense of smell.29.

Perfumes could help people understand each other.B. Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.C. Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases.D. Some smells could be developed to better our mood.31.What should be the main idea for the passage? .A. Happiness comes from a scent of sweatB. Our emotions influence our smells.C. people need more emotional communicationD. Happiness does have a scent.DWhile most of us are happy to take the credit when things go well, few of us are willing to take the blame when things go wrong. Rather than trying to hide our shame or embarrassment, experts found that we are simply less aware when our actions result in a negative outcome.The research may explain why we often feel it hard to take the blame for our actions.“Our result suggests that people may really experience less responsibility for negative than for positive outcomes,” said Patrick Haggard, leading researcher and professor of the institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London.In a series of tests, participants were asked to press a key. A sound then followed, either disapproving, neutral or approving, and they were then asked to estimate the time between the action and when they had heard the sound.Researchers found that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending on the outcomes. They also discovered they were significantly slower to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence, compared to when they had done well.“Effectively, we have found that we experience a negative outcome differently, not just retell it differently. We make a weaker connection when there is a bad result. And respond much more strongly when something good happens,”said Professor Haggard. When something goes right, everyone wants to take the credit, and when things go wrong, nobody is interested in putting their hands up.The researchers said ou r brain is“very much concerned”with reward, as good results are key to survival. Although our own perception(认知) of whether we are guilty of something or not is changed by the outcomes, this does not provide a defense if we have done something wrong.“Our e xperience of our own responsibilities can be misleading and can be strongly colored by the outcomes of our actions.”said Professor Haggard.“We have to take responsibility for what actually do, not just for how we experience things.”32. People who don’t ta ke the blame for their actions .A.always try to hide their shame or embarrassment.B.are only willing to take the credit when things go wellC.feel less responsible for negative than for positive outcomesD.are less aware of what to do when a negative outcome happens33. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Our level of responsibility can be strongly affected by the outcomes of our actions.B.When something bad happens, nobody is interested in dealing with the problem.C.People were quicker to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence.D.Participants were asked to count the time between pressing a key and hearing the sound.34. How is the passage developed?A.By giving examples.B.By quoting research findings.C.By analyzing cause and effect.D.By providing data.35. According to the passage, a person who is concerned with reward is .A.awkwardB.naturalC.absurdD.stubborn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。
