46、nights meteor(流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers. According to Gabe Rothsclild, Emerald Valleys mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What the
47、y found instead was a sky so brightened by the citys lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.“My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointments.”Astronomer
48、s-scientists who study stars and planets-have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.There is
49、 yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats, frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association, “100 mi
50、llion birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”Countless more animals casualties(伤亡)result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. T
51、hey worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase persons chances of getting cancer.Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of hight pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astro
52、nomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.64. What do the astronomers complain about?A. Meteor showers occur less often than before.B.

56、ns of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution(决定) they started 2013 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.To reach our goal of losing weight - the output, we need to control what we eat - the input. That is, we tend to care about the output but not
57、to control the input. This is a bad way to construe goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “Ill stop having desert for lunch,” or “Ill walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-s
58、pecified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.Recently a new science behind incentives (激励) , including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases,
59、he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output. Fryers conclusion was that the intensives f
60、or inputs might be more effective because do not know how to do better on exam, aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher
61、chance of success. And its easier to start again if you fail, because you know exactly what you need to do.If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you ca
62、n measure your success easily. Spending less money isnt a goal because its too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, dont stop with this general wish. Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday.In the lon
63、g run, these new goals could become a habit.68. The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because _ .A. it is hard to achieve for most AmericansB. it is focused too much on the resultC. it is dependent on too many thingsD. it is based on actionable decisions69. In Roland Frye
64、rs research, some students did better than the others because _ .A. they obeyed all the general rulesB. they paid more attention to examsC. they were motivated by their classmatesD. they were rewarded for reading some books70. The writer strongly believes that we should _ .A. develop good habits and
65、 focus on the outcomeB. be optimistic about final goals and stick to themC. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habitsD. set ambitious goals that can balance the input and output71. What is the best title for the passage?A. Building a Good habitB. Setting the Right InputC. Choosing th
66、e Right Resolution D. Reaching a Big GoalE Dr. Jack M Gwaltney, a professor at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, infected six student volunteers with virus, the most common cause of colds A few days later, when they were coughing and sneezing, he gathered 37 more people and divided them
67、 into three groups. Group 1 members spent three days and nights in the same room with one of the infected students, separated by a screen so they couldnt touch one another. Group 2 sat around a table while an infected volunteer talked, coughed and sang to them. Group 3 held hands with an infected st
68、udent for ten seconds, and then touched their own noses or eyesAlthough most scientists at the time, the mid-70s, believed colds were spread by virus-laden droplets spread through the air when infected people coughed or sneezed, Gwaltney suspected physical contact might play an important role. Sure
69、enough, of the 15 people who had touched a student volunteer, 11 became infectedcompared with only one of those who had been sitting at the table, and none who had spent three days and nights togetherThe best evidence we have is that hand-to-hand contact is the most efficient way of transmitting vir
70、us, says GwaltneyThe study was one of a series that helped establish Gwaltneys reputation as a leading authorityDr. Robert Couch says, It would not be inappropriate to call him Mr. Common ColdWhen Gwaltney is asked how close scientists are to finding a cure, he replies: If you mean get rid of, I don
71、t think were going to be able to do that with cold viruses any time soon But if you look in the dictionary, youll see that cure is explained as a successful treatment And were not just getting more effective at treating the symptomswere getting at the root cause too 72. Dr. Jack M. Gwaltney conducte
72、d the experiment in order to_A. find out the most common cause of coldsB. infect the student volunteerC. find out the role physical contact plays in the common coldsD. find out the role virus-laden air plays in the infection of colds73.
