However, making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any

18、class before noon to be unacceptable, getting to a factory by 6 oclock each morning is suffering. My friends never seem to understand why Im so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.There are few people as self-confident as a college student who ha

19、s never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.The

20、 most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over night.

21、e would work for 60 cents an hour.After working 12-hour shifts (轮班) in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. “This job pays well, but its hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading.” she added. When Im back at the university, skipping classes and turning i

26、fe. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.” Indeed, in the eyes of artists, loneliness never seems to go out of style. There are paintings that portray loneliness, songs that are inspired by loneliness, and many works of literature that center around this theme.In the ey

27、es of UK economist Rachel Reeves, however, loneliness is far from romantic. Instead, its a “giant evil” thats become a serious problem in the country.So just how serious is it? On Jan 17, UK Prime Minister Theresa May appointed politician Tracey Crouch as the countrys very first “Minister for Loneli

28、ness”. Her job is to tackle (处理) the loneliness that the countrys been feelinga problem which, according to UK government research, is affecting more than 9 million people in the country, and is more harmful to ones physical and mental health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day. And the problem hasnt j

29、ust appeared recently. Back in 2014, the UK was given the title of the “loneliness capital of Europe” by The Telegraph. A survey carried out by the newspaper found that British people were less likely to get to know their neighbors or build strong relationships with people than those from other Euro

30、pean countries.“There is something about British wanting to deal with problems themselves,” Christian Guy, director of the Centre for Social Justice think-tank (智囊团), told The Telegraph.But this doesnt mean that the problem only affects Britons. In fact, were all suffering from loneliness now more t

31、han ever, in spite of most of the world now having access to the Internet, which has enabled us to be more connected than ever.What we need, according to Kim Leadbetter, sister of the late UK politician Jo Cox, is to have “proper human connections”. “Our lives nowadays are so busy. We spend the vast

32、 majority of our time on our phones, on our laptops. We need to press pause on that and actually sit down and speak to human beings,” Leadbetter said at an event last year.But the first steps toward fighting this problem are to accept its existence and not be ashamed or intimidated (吓倒) by it. After

33、 all, without loneliness, many beautiful paintings, songs, and literary works wouldnt even exist. And “evil” or not, being lonely is simply part of the experience of being human.28. What can we learn about the UKs loneliness problem?A. The UK became the loneliest country in the world in 2014.B. More

34、 than half of British people suffer from loneliness.C. The government is working to solve the problem.D. British people communicate less with their neighbors than ever.29.

35、lyC. is mainly caused by the wide use of the InternetD. does more harm mentally than physically30. What does Leadbetter suggest doing to cope with loneliness?A.

36、re often.D. Accepting its existence calmly.31. Which of the following would the author probably agree with?A. Loneliness is a giant evil of society. B. Only artists can appreciate the beauty of loneliness.C. It is hard to find a solution to social loneliness.D. Loneliness is just a normal part of ou

37、r life.DWhen we look at a lovely baby, a puppy or a really cute kitten many of us want to squeeze it. Why is that?According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, its a typical experience of “cute aggression”. The experience results from the fight between the brain

38、s “emotion system”, which impels (驱使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings of “wanting”.In the study, 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 were presented with four groups of photos. Two of the groups of photos were of cute human babies and animals

39、 and the other two were of less adorable adult humans and animals. As the participants looked at the photos, there searchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they looked at the cute babies, and they seemed to be o

40、verwhelmed (征服的). By contrast, the reward systems of the people looking at the less cute adults were found to be inactive, and they seemed to be less impelled by their reward systems.This suggests that cute things activate their emotion systems in such a way that people are overwhelmed by the experi

41、ence of cuteness. But reward systems work against these emotions by creating the desire to protect cute things.As Katherine Stavropoulos, the lead researcher of this study at the University of California in the US told Science Alert, “The cute aggression is the brains way of bringing us back down by

42、 balancing our feelings of being overwhelmed.”Stavropoulos compared this process of balancing to an evolutionary adaptation. Such an adaptation may have taken place to ensure that people are able to continue taking care of creatures they consider particularly cute.So, although cute babies and adorab

43、le animals may look completely helpless, their vulnerable (易受伤害的) appearance may in fact help them to survive.32. According to the text, “cute aggression” refers to .A. the emotion of wanting to protect cute thingsB. the task of emotion system and reward systemC. the adaptation of consistently takin

44、g care of cute creaturesD. the behavior of squeezing a cute baby or animal when seeing it33. In nature, “cute aggression” is caused by .A. the need of the brain to balance all feelings B. the photos of cute human babies and animalsC. the vulnerable appearance of babies or animalsD. the conflict betw

45、een emotion system and reward system34. Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE?A. Facial expressions of the participants were observed.B. Katherine Stavropoulos conducted this study on her own.C. Cute babies and animals affected brain activities of all the participants.D. The part

46、icipants were divided into two groups in order to make comparison.35. What is the authors purpose in writing this text?A. To persuade readers to protect cute animals.B. To stress the significance of cute aggression.C. To present research findings on cute aggression.D. To share an interesting phenome
