I couldnt believe that baby was breathing and looking at me! We called him Samson, and of course I became his mother as much a

18、s Daisy was.When Samson was nine months old, I had to separate Daisy and Samson for a few hours a day to wean (使断奶) him, but otherwise he went wherever she did. I think she would be lost without him. His donkey stepdad Bernard taught him to always be ready to have fun. They enjoy playing football to

You can even do an online test to see if you

25、have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memories suffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt” (neck pai

26、n was often reported) and “alone” predicted higher levels of nomophobia.“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,” said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from thei

27、r phones.” Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Notti

28、ngham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out)“We are talking about an Internetconnected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives, ” says Griffiths. “You would have to surgically remove a

29、phone from a teenager because their whole life is ingrained in this device.”Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxi

31、too much time on phones.B. Phones have become part of some users.C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.29.

Which of the following phrases has the closest meaning to the underlined phrase “ingrained in” in Para4?A. approved of.B. relied on.C. opposed toD. determined by.31. Where can

33、 you probably find the above passage?A. In a research report.B. In a science textbook.C. In a popular science magazine.D. In a fashion brochure.DLight and bright, cheap and cheerful: IKEAs 400-plus outlets (专营店) in 49 countries all run on the same central principle. Customers do as much of the work

34、as possible, in the belief they are having fun and saving money. You drive to a distant warehouse built on cheap out-of-town land. Inside, you enter a maze (迷宫) no shortcuts allowed where every twist reveals new furniture.Compared with the prices of other outlets, IKEAs are much lower. You load up y

35、our trolley (手推车) with impulse buys-a clock, storage boxes, tools and more chairs than you will ever use. You drag cardboard boxes, cupboards and tables into your car and reward yourself for your economy and good taste. Then you drive home and put your prizes together. You are satisfied with the bar

36、gains. IKEA is satisfied with your money.The companys name was a do-it-yourself job, too. IKEA stands for Ingvar Kamprad, from Elmtaryd his familys farm in Agunnaryd. That village is in the Smaland region of southern Sweden. Mr. Kamprad founded IKEA aged 17. Well before that, he spotted a principle

37、which would make him one of the richest men in the world that customers like buying goods at wholesale prices (批发价). First he bought matches in large quantities and sold them by the box. Aged ten, he sold pens in the similar way.Setbacks inspired him. Facing a price war against his low-cost mail-ord

38、er furniture business, he defeated competitors by opening a showroom. Dealers tried to crush Mr. Kamprad and banned him from their trade fairs. He slipped in, hiding in a friends car. When they tried to threaten his suppliers, he relied on his own workers, and secretly sold his production to communi

39、st Poland. Decades later, east Europeans freed from the planned economy drove hundreds of miles to newly opened outlets in Moscow and Warsaw.His self-discipline was world-famous. As a child, he removed the “off” button from his alarm clock to stop himself oversleeping. He rarely took a first-class s

40、eat. The wine didnt get you there any earlier, he sniffed; having lots of money was no reason to waste it. He bought his clothes in second-hand markets, and for years drove an elderly Volvo until he had to sell it on safety grounds. He had his hair cut in poor countries to save money. Visitors admir

41、ed the views, but were surprised that his house was so shabby. He worked well into his eighties.His diligence and simple way of life set a good example to his 194,000 “co-workers”. But he was not mean. The point of cutting costs was to make goods affordable, not to compromise quality. He urged his s

42、taff to reflect constantly on ways of saving money, time and space. An improved design that allows easier piling means shipping less air and more profit.Culture was more important than strategy. He disliked “exaggerated (夸张的) planning”, along with financial markets and banks. Better to make mistakes

43、 and learn from them. And use time wisely: “You can do so much in ten minutes. But ten minutes once gone are gone for good.” This did not apply to customers. The longer they stayed, the better.Mr. Kamprads impact on modern life can be compared with that of Henry Ford and the mass-produced motor car.

44、 Furniture used to be expensive, dark and heavy. For many people, decorating a home could cost many months salary. IKEA made furniture not just affordable and functional, but fun. The mission was civilizational, he felt, changing how people lived and thought.His approach drew some fire. The company

45、values struck some as unpleasant. At IKEAs Corporate Culture Centre, lots of pictures of Mr. Kamprad with his mottos can be seen everywhere. Whats worse, some parts of the supply chain seemed to have serious problems to overcome.32. What can we learn about IKEA in Paragraph 1?A. IKEA prefers rural a

46、reas for its location.B. IKEA has 400 outlets throughout the world.C. IKEA likes to store new furniture in a maze.D. IKEA provides a lot of work for its customers.33. The underlined two sentences in Paragraph 2 imply that .A. IKEA tricks you into spending more moneyB. you may buy bargains with impul

47、se in IKEAC. both you and IKEA are pleased with the dealD. both you and IKEA are happy with the bargain34. By mentioning Mr. Kamprads experiences before he founded IKEA, the author intends to tell us that Mr. Kamprad .A. was likely to become a successful businessmanB. preferred selling matches and p

48、ens by low pricesC. had been a well-off merchant due to his principleD. enjoyed doing something promising with discipline35. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 and 6 about Mr. Kamprad?A.
