16、ows winter, which follows autumn, which follows summer, which follows spring. And winter is colder than summer. But the earth goes through temperature cycles over much longer periods than those that we experience. Between 65,000 and 35,000 years ago, the planet was much colder than it is now. During
17、 that time the temperature also changed a lot, with periods of warming and cooling. Ice melted during the warm periods, which made sea levels rise. Water froze again during the cold periods.A new study from Switzerland, sheds light on where ice sheets melted during the ice age. It now seems that the
18、 ice melted at both ends of the earth, rather than just in either northern or southern regions. This surprised the researchers from the University of Bern. Scientists have long assumed that most of the ice that melted was in the Northern hemisphere(半球) during the 30,000-year long ice age. That belie
19、f was held because the North Pole is surrounded by land, while the South Pole is surrounded by the Antarctic Ocean. It is easier for ice sheets to grow on land. If surrounded by sea the ice can easily just slip into the ocean instead of building up.The researchers used a computer model to look at wa
20、ys the ice could melt and how it might affect sea levels. They compared these results to evidence of how temperatures and currents actually changed during that time. The model showed that if it was only in the Northern hemisphere that ice melted, there would have been a bigger impact(影响) on ocean cu
21、rrents(洋流) and sea temperatures than what actually happened. Studies suggest that melting just in the Southern hemisphere would have been impossible, too. The only reasonable conclusion, the scientists could make, was that ice melted equally in the North and the South. It is still a mystery as to wh
22、at caused the temperature changes that caused the ice to melt.36. The North Pole is surrounded by land, while the South Pole is surrounded by the Antarctic Ocean. So scientists thought that _. A. most of the ice melted in the Northern hemisphereB. most of the ice melted in the Southern hemisphereC.
23、The North Pole is colder than South PoleD. The South Pole is colder than North Pole37. We can infer from the passage _. A. the ice can easily just slip into the ocean B. volcanoes caused the ice to meltC. melting just in the Northern hemisphere would have been impossibleD. researchers often use the
24、computer models help their research work. 38. The scientists are not sure _. A. how long the ice age lasted B. where ice sheets melted during the ice ageC. what caused the temperature changesD. what the earth is made up of39. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A computer mod
25、el B. Studies show ice melted equally in the North and the South during the ice age C. Most of the ice melted in the Northern hemisphere during the 30,000-year long ice age.D. A survey resultBA is for always getting to work on time.B is for being extremely busy.C is for the conscientious(勤勤恳恳的) way
26、you do your job.You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesnt ensure career advancement.
27、 You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politicsa better job, a raise, praisemany people are still unable or unwillingto “play the game”.“People assume that office politics involves some manipul
28、ative(工于心计的) behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word polite. It can mean lobbying(游说) and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying, to please your superior, and then expecting somet
29、hing in return.”In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue ones own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environmentnot just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.“The first thing p
30、eople are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,” says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. Its
31、simple human nature.”Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery(奉承), fearful that, if they speak up
32、for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.40. “Office politics” is used in the passage to refer to_. A. the political views and beliefs of office workersB. the interpersonal re

36、always seems to take us right there. And the visits increase with age, as does the number of health problems. While it is true that doctors, treatments and medicines cannot be totally done away with, you can at least keep things within the limits of reason just with a smile every now and then. You c
37、an improve your health with just a smile, and if that sounds funny you can laugh, but it was not a joke by any means.The reasons are not hard to guess.
