19、en confused in Japan because most streets there dont have name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office i

20、s across from the bus stop.”People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” You dont understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away i

21、s it, please?” To this question you wont get an answer, because most probably they dont know it themselves.People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then hell lead you through the

22、 streets of the city to the post office.Sometimes a person doesnt know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know.” People there believe that “I dont” is impolite. They usually give

23、an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. Its body language.24. Which one of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions?A. “Go south two miles, turn west and then go another mile.”B. “

24、Turn right at the hospital and go past a school.”C. “The post office is about five minutes from here.”D. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”25.

25、e wayC. they often have no idea of distance measured by milesD. they prefer to use body language26. Greeks give directions by _. A. using street namesB. using landmarksC. giving people a wrong directionD. leading people the way27. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People in Yucatan always give r

26、ight directions.B. There are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world.C. People in some places give directions in miles, but people in other places give directions in time.D. A persons body language can help you understand directions.CPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are

27、less likely to suffer from colds. Its possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh. “We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,”

28、 says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the studys lead researcher. In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms. Those findings were interesting, but they didnt prove that a pers

29、ons attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a persons underlying personality is what matters. Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of control over lif

30、e. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds. To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions), the CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the

31、researchers about the positive and negative feelings they had experienced that day. The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks. Among those who

32、 reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a strong

33、er effect on how healthy we are. For now, it cant hurt to look on the bright side more often than not! 28. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds. B. Being cheerful turns away colds.C. Attitude determines life. D. Different opinions about colds.29. The word “full of vim and vigor”

34、underlined in Paragraph 1 probably means_.A. ignorant B. well-informed C. energetic D. in low spirits 30. According to the finding, a leading factor of catching colds should be ones _.A. health B. personality C. quality D. mood31.Bysayingthelastparagraph,thewriterintendstosuggest_.A.positiveemotions

Many of us use a lift several times during the day

36、without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”. “The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” G

37、ray told the BBC. “They are socially very interesting but often very awkward (尴尬的) places.” We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC

38、what he had observed. He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want its your own little box. If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance. When a third person enters, you will un

39、consciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle. New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, f

40、or most people the rule is simple look down, or look at your phone. Why are we so awkward in lifts? “You dont have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arms length of distan

41、ce between us. And thats not possible in most elevators.” In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.32. The main purpose of the article is to . A. analy

42、ze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator B. tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette C. share an interesting but awkward elevator ride D. remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator 33. According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually . A. turn around and greet one a

43、nother B. look around or examine their phone C. make eye contact with those in the elevator D. try to keep a distance from other people34. Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator? 35. The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 i

You should also find a balance, allowing yourself to feel grateful. 37 . Mindfulness is also about paying attention to your breath. Brea

46、thing is a vital bodily function that we often do not notice throughout the day. Start making a conscious effort to focus on your own breathing.
