19、n your paycheck. Making your managers job easier is a good way to earn their favor, but they shouldnt be your only supporters. The people sitting next to you may be your boss someday or, even better, they may know someone who might want to hire you in a field you actually want to work in. Those offi

The necessity of doing the same job.C In museums all over the world, one rule defeats all others: look

27、but dont touch the works. But what if you cant look? Why should being blind prevent a person from appreciating works of art that are not only masterpieces, but also an important part of his or her countrys cultural history? That was the question facing the Madrids Prado museum. As with many other Eu

28、ropean museums, the Prado has worked hard over recent years to widen access to its collections. Up until now, however, blind and partially sighted people have been unable to enjoy the museums vast collection, which includes works by Goya, El Greco and Velazquez.The solution, the president of the mus

29、eum concluded, was not simply offering audio or Braille(盲文)guides, but to create 3-D copies of key works, which visitors could touch. By inviting them to break the “no touching” rule in their new “Touching the Prado” exhibit, visually impaired (受损的）visitors can at last gain some appreciation of the

30、works on display. More than a year ago, then, the museum invited companies from across Spain to launch the project before choosing Estudios Durero, a Basque company specializing in the fine arts. What set them apart from their rivals was that, rather than using standard 3-D printing, they have devel

31、oped a technique that they call “Did,” which allows them to produce works that are both rich in texture (纹理）and color. Eager to keep the exact details of their process a secret, Velasco explained that it includes taking a high resolution image of a painting and then working with the blind and partia

32、lly sighted members of the team to identify which details need to be emphasized.A Madrid native, Fernandez, was born blind and is now visiting the Prado for the first time. 41Yes, I can feel the texture of the skin, the short beards 2ind even the look of surprise on the mens mouths,” said Fernandez.

33、 “We learned all about the great Spanish artists at school, of course, but its only now that I can start to understand what made them special in their own unique ways.”Plans are in place to further expand the current exhibition to involve a wider sample of the Prados collection and to make other mus

34、eums and galleries more accessible to the visually impaired.28. What probably led to Tutankhamens death according to the newest study?28. What is the most effective solution to no touching rule?A. Providing audio.B. Offering braille guides.C. Creating touchable 3-D copies.D. Inviting the blind to br

35、eak the rule.29. Why did Velasco choose to work with the blind?A. Because of their taste of art.B. Because of their professional knowledge.C. Because of their acquisition of printing skills.D. Because of their ability to identify important details.30. How did Fernandez feel when he visited the Prado

36、?A. Amazed.B. Disappointed.C. Shocked.D. Encouraged.31. In which column of the newspaper do you probably find the passage?A. Life. B. Education. C. Society.D. Technology.D I have two friends, Seth and Michael, and one of them is a lot happier than the other. To understand why these two men are so di

37、fferent, let me tell you a little bit about them.Both are in their early 40s and doing well in their careers. Seth is a professor at a famous university, who has reasonably bright students and many opportunities for travel. His research program has been successful, gaining attention from all over th

38、e US. Michael is a lawyer in a small but beautiful city. He is good at dealing with civil matters, and his success as a lawyer has led to occasional media appearances, in which he is asked to speak about his latest cases. Both have fine families.Thus, why is Michael happier than Seth? Was he simply

39、lucky to be born with a sunnier disposition (性情)? Or, is he more fortunate with regard to the events and circumstances of his life?On balance, neither of them seems to have the better job, wife, kids, house or car. Furthermore, scientific research has shown that success, health and physical attracti

40、veness are only minimally related to ones overall happiness.What about genetics? Growing research done with fraternal twins (异卵双胞胎）suggests that each person is born with a particular “happiness set point”, that is, the potential for happiness to which he or she is bound to return, even after major f

41、ailure or success. Michael may simply possess a higher set point for happiness and the higher potential for well-being. He doesnt have to work hard at it - he is just happy.If Michaels happiness is due to genetics, what is left for Seth to do? Are we all destined to obey the directives of our genes?

42、The answer is “no”. My two colleagues and I developed a theory that describes the most important factors determining happiness. In sum, we argue that the set point determines just 50% of happiness; while a mere 10% can be attributed to differences in peoples life circumstances, that is, whether they

43、 are rich or poor, healthy or unhealthy, married or divorced, etc. This leaves a surprising 40% of our capacity for happiness within our power to change. This means that Seth can be a great deal happier and Michael could be even happier too.32. What do Seth and Michael have in common?A. They both ha

44、ve a blessed family.B. They have the same “happiness set point”.C. They have the same capacity for happiness.D. They were both born with a sunny disposition.33. Which is the most important factor deciding ones unhappiness according to the passage?A. Genetics. B. Family. C. Salary. D. Healthy.34. Wha

45、t does the writer tends to believe?A. Ifs impossible for Seth to be happy.B. We have total control over happiness.C. An unhealthy man can also be very happy.D. Ones life circumstance doesnt influence his happiness.35. Whats the writers main purpose of writing this article?A. To teach people how to b

46、e happy.B. To introduce his two friends to us.C. To encourage readers to seek their happiness.D. To explain the research about fraternal twins.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分IO分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Crate training for puppies A dog crate is also known as cage, puppy pen or den.
