12、ople listen to podcasts?Most podcasts allow you to listen right from the website, but the best option is to subscribe with a podcasting app. On desktop and laptop computers, the most popular method to subscribe and listen to podcasts is iTunes. Once installed on Mac or Windows, iTunes gives you acce

13、ss to the largest podcast directory. On iPhones, you can use iTunes to sync podcasts from your computer.Great podcasts for beginnersHere are some great podcasts that you may want to subscribe to in your favorite podcast app. Best of all, they are all free!NPR-National Public Radio turns many of its

17、 slowly to the podium. He smiles down at the graduates in the front rows, saying And now the moment weve all been waiting for.The graduates stand and head for the stage as the principal calls out the names. The superintendent of schools hands each graduate a rolled-up piece of paper with a blue ribb

18、on around it. The diploma. Most of the graduates grab for the diploma, but the superintendent holds it back and makes them shake his hand before forking it over.The calling of each name triggers a reaction in the audience. People run crouching down the aisles to snap pictures. Family, relatives, fri

19、ends cheer the graduate. Some cheers are modest: a little hand clapping, a Yea, Sarah!, a Go get em, Nicky! Other families are more boisterous: leaping from their seats, arms waving, two-fingered whistles, moose calls, stomping the floor. You cant help thinking it must be nice to have somebody go bo

20、nkers over you, that is, assuming you have somebody there to begin with.Its hard not to make comparisons, hard not to notice who gets the loudest cheer, the longest, the most camera flashes. Still, Zinkoff tries not to look at it that way. He knows that some families are simply not as loud as others

21、 and that it doesnt mean they love their graduate any less. So it will be with his own family. His father is not a whistler nor his mother a stomper. He isnt assuming any more because he still hasnt located his parents out there.Because hes thinking these things and searching the field of faces, he

22、fails to hear his own name called: And last but not least, Donald Zinkoff.The principal waits. The superintendent waits. The principal looks around, as if Zinkoff might be up in the air somewhere.

25、al raises the diploma high.CTerrible working conditions have a long tradition. However, in a service-based economy, it makes sense that focusing on worker morale(士气)might be a much more fruitful approach.Proving the thesis is more difficult. But that is the aim of a new study which examines the rela

26、tionship between happiness and productivity of workers. Three academics surveyed 1, 800 sales workers at 11 British call centres of British Telecom. All each employee had to do was click on a simple emoji each week to indicate their level of happiness. Those workers were charged with selling custome

27、rs telephone and television deals. Altogether adequate responses were collected from 1, 161 people over six months.The results were striking. Workers made 13% more sales in weeks when they were happy than when unhappy. This was not because they were working longer hours; in happy weeks, they made mo

28、re calls and were more efficient at converting those calls into sales. The tricky part, however, is determining the direction of causation(因果关系). Workers may be happier when they are selling more because they anticipate a bigger bonus, or because successful sales pitches(销售用语)are less stressful to m

29、ake than unsuccessful ones.The academics tried a clever way to get round this problem by examining a very British issue-the weather. Workers turned out to be less happy when the weather in their local area was bad and this unhappiness converted into lower sales. Since they were making national calls

30、, not local ones, it is unlikely that customer unhappiness with the weather was driving the sales numbers. So it was worker mood driving sales, not the other wav round.Even if this reasoning proves correct, businesses may not find it of comfort. They point out that what we are not able to do is judg

31、e as to whether investing in schemes to enhance employee happiness makes good business sense. But in the least, it suggests that firms should consider the value of a contented workforce.28.

Which of the flow chart below illustrates the development of the passage?DMars was once wet, with an oceans worth of water on its surface. Today, most of Mars is as dry as a desert except for ice depo

34、sits in its polar regions. Where did the rest of the water go?Some of it disappeared into space. Water molecules, beaten by particles of solar wind, broke apart into hydrogen and oxygen atoms, and those, especially the lighter hydrogen atoms, sped out of the atmosphere, lost to outer space.But most

35、of the water, a new study concludes, went down, sucked into the red planets rocks. And there it remains, trapped within minerals and salts. Indeed, as much as 99% of the water that once flowed on Mars could still be there, the researchers estimated in a paper published this week in the journal Scien

36、ce. Bethany Ehlmann, a professor of planetary science at the California Institute of Technology and one of the authors of the paper, said that as the rocks are altered by liquid water, water molecules become incorporated (并入)into minerals like clays.The data and simulations indicated that the water

37、on Mars was almost all gone by 3 billion years ago, around the tune on Earth when life consisted of single-cell microbes in the oceans. Without a time machine, there is no way to observe directly how much water was on a younger Mars more than 3 billion years ago. But the hydrogen atoms floating toda

38、y in the atmosphere of Mars preserve a ghostly hint of the ancient ocean.On Earth, about 1 in 5, 000 hydrogen atoms is a version known as deuterium(重氢;氢的同位素)that is twice as heavy because its nucleus contains both a neutron and a proton. But on Mars, the concentration of deuterium is markedly higher

39、, about 1 in 700. Scientists at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center who reported this finding in 2015 said this could be used to calculate the amount of water Mars once had.32. Why cant water be found on Mars now except for ice deposits in polar regions?A. Because it was transformed into deuterium.

40、B. Because it was beaten into particles by solar wind.C. Because most of it was integrated and some disappeared.D. Because it broke down into hydrogen and oxygen atoms.33. What is implied about deuterium in the last paragraph?A. It is twice the weight of hydrogen.B. Its nucleus contains a neutron an

41、d a proton.C. Its concentration on Earth is markedly higher than on MarsD. It enlightens scientists on the measurement of water on Mars.34. In which section of a newspaper may this article appear?A. Science. B. Travel. C. Entertainment. D. Education.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. M

45、ws. Healthy soil is full of billions of bacteria, fungi and other microbes. Soil texture depends on how much clay, sand and silt is in the ground. Any soil is a combination of those three things.3. Plant seeds or, if thats too hard, get transplants.Chives, parsley and cilantro are not fussy(过分挑剔的),

46、so Ill plant them as seeds. But basil and tomato-those need more attention. 39 4. Understand how much sunlight your plants need.Not every plant needs a ton of sun. If you pick off the fruit of the plant, then it needs more sun. If youre just eating the leaves, then you need less sun. So tomatoes, sq
