15、e lottery ticket for yourself?” The violinist said, “Although I dont have much money, I live happily.

They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different
19、 from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time at least twenty or thirty years.Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know
20、 they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with human beings.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In
21、a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continue

The right to choose is central to everyone. Yet sometimes we make bad decisions that leave us unhappy or full of regret. C
25、an science help? Most of us know little about the mental processes that lie behind our decisions. Luckily, what psychologists are finding may help us all make better choices. Here are some of their amazing discoveries to help you make up your mind. Consider your emotions. You might think that emotio
26、ns are the enemy of decision making, but in fact theyre a part of it. Whenever you make up your mind, your brains emotional center is active. University of Southern California scientist, Antonio Damasio, has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains, and found that they
27、were unable to make basic choices about what to wear or eat. Damasio thinks this may be because our brains store emotional memories of past choices, which we use to help the present decision making. However, making choices under the influence of an emotion can greatly affect the result. Take anger,
28、for example. A study by a University of Mississippi found the angry shoppers were more likely to choose the first thing they were offered rather than consider other choices. It seems anger can lead us to make quick decisions without much thinking. All emotions affect our thinking and motivation, so
29、it may be best to avoid making important decisions under their influence. Yet strangely theres one emotion that seems to help us make good choices. The American researchers found that sad people took time to consider the various choices on offer, and ended up making the best choices. In fact many st

Why are angry sho
32、ppers more likely to choose the first thing they are offered? A. They often forget their past choices. B. They make decisions without much thinking. C. They tend to save time when shopping. D. They are too angry to bargain. 30. What do we learn from the text? A. Emotions are a part of decision makin
33、g. B. Sad people always make worst choices. C. No emotion seems to help us make good choices. D. Only sad feelings affect our thinking and motivation. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选项。 请把答案涂在机读卡61-65题！ As we all know, friendship is of great importance in our daily life.
34、A friend can give us help and share our difficulties and happiness. But how to make friends is still difficult to some of us. 31 Be friendly to others. 32 You should try to make a stranger feel at home wherever he happens to be. Think more of others than of yourself and never judge a person by his a
35、ppearance and clothes. Be reliable. If you and your friend agree to meet somewhere, dont be late.
