2、or the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Theres a widely-accepted line of thinking, especially in 2019, that says the people and things we love will eventually let us down.

Get into bed in a comfortable position, make sure the light is _31_ enough to cause a slight eyestrain, choose a book that is either terribly
10、difficult or terribly boring-in any event one that you do not really care whether you read or not -and you will be asleep in a few minutes. Those who are experts in relaxing with a book do not have to wait for _32_. A comfortable chair in the library will do any time. Unfortunately, the rules for ke
11、eping awake do not consist in doing just the _33_. It is possible to keep awake while reading in a comfortable chair or even in bed, and people have been known to _34_ their eyes by reading late in light too dim. What kept the famous _35_ readers awake? One thing certainly - it made a difference to
12、them, a great difference, whether or not they read the book they had in hand. Whether you manage to keep awake or not depends in large part on your goal in reading. If your aim in reading is to profit from it - to _36_ somehow in mind or spirit - you have to keep awake. That means reading as activel
13、y as possible. It means making an effort - an effort for which you expect to be _37_. Good books, fiction or nonfiction, deserve such reading. To use a good book as a helper to fall asleep is pure waste. To fall asleep or, what is the same, to let your mind wander during the hours you planned to dev
14、ote to reading for profit - that is, _38_ for understanding - is clearly to defeat your own _39_. But the sad fact is that many people who can distinguish between profit and pleasure - between understanding, on the one hand, and entertainment or the mere satisfaction of curiosity, on the other hand-
15、 nevertheless _40_ to carry out their reading plans. They cant make it even if they know which books give which. The reason is that they do not know how to be demanding readers, how to keep their mind on what they are doing by making it do the work without which no profit can be earned. Reading comp

17、arth began to gain momentum. In a little over a week, it made 2.8 billion yuan in the _41_ market alone. The films popularity and success has come as a _42_ to many reviewers especially since there hasnt been that much success for Chinese-produced science fiction the past. Many agree that this film
18、will change the _43_ situation and bring in a new age for Chinese science fiction. As a genre（类型）, Chinese science fiction has _44_ general fiction in both the film and publishing industries. Even Liu Cixins (the author who wrote the short story on which The Wandering Earth is based) The Three Body
19、Problem-which is currently quite popular - didnt have many readers until it was translated into English and won the Hugo Award（雨果奖）in 2015. _45_, I havent read much of any genre written in Chinese, but I do notice that there arent many separate sections of the bookstore dedicated to science fiction.
20、 I cannot speak for everyone, but some people seem to have _46_ regarding the genre. My parents were the type who tried to steer me in the direction of non-fiction and the classics. They believed that science fiction and fantasy were “unrealistic nonsense” and would “_47_ by brain.” _48_, great scie

Sure, some of the concepts may be confusing or technical in nature, but that is also part of the _49_. Things like the internet, electric ca

The author simply uses a _51_ of science and his imagination to create worlds different from the Earth of today, from which we can get bits and pieces that can be turned into a _52_. The world is changing. There m

28、 just read. A The following sad but true talc concerns my great-uncle, a wonderful, jolly, beloved man who was over six feet four and probably weighted close to three hundred pounds. He was also well-educated and in the early 1900s became a full-time baptist minister. A kindly, gentle man despite hi
29、s size, Uncle Alden Bentleys only real fault seemed to be that he was terribly clumsy. As a young minister, her was paying a pastoral call one day on a woman in Dillon, South Carolina, when he accidentally sat on her Chihuahua, Twinkie, and killed it. As the lady searched for and called for her dog
30、throughout the house, Uncle Alden felt underneath his hip and, realizing what he had done, panicked and slipped the dead dog into his coat pocket. Although he was devastated, he could not bring himself w tell the woman what had happened. Five years later, he returned to the same home of an overnight
31、 visit and resolved to unburden himself by finally telling the woman exactly what had happened to Twinkie. she had just had the guest room prepared and had hung brand-new curtains. To make Uncle feel welcome, she had placed on the bedside table a large pitcher of ice water and a glass, as well as a
32、pen and a bottle of ink, so he could work on his sermon before retiring. Uncle liked to sleep with the window open and got up in the night to open it. As he did, he knocked over what he assumed to be a full glass of water. Then, groping along the walls in an unsuccessful search for the light switch,
33、 he retraced his steps several times before raising the window and settling back on the bed for the night. When he opened his eyes the next morning, he was horrified. The fresh wallpaper on two walls was covered with great black stains. The crisp white curtains were thoroughly spoiled with the print
34、s of Uncles huge paws. It had not been the water glass hed overturned during the night - it had been the ink bottle. In a shaken state of mind and knowing he must face the hostess, Uncle dressed hurriedly and started down the stairs outside the guest room. As he approached the landing, his foot flip
35、ped. “Are you hurt?” His hostess cried as she rushed to Uncles side. “No,” said Uncle a he rose to his feet, “but I have devastated your home.” With that he quickly walked out the front door and, at the end of the walk, turned and said to his hostess with deep respect, “Twinkie had a Christian buria

Before the age of the smartphone, photographers had to learn how to use high-tech cameras and photographic techniques. Today, with the huge range of camera apps on our smartp
48、hones, were all good amateur photographers, since the quality of smartphone images now nearly equals that of digital cameras. The new ease of photography has given us a tremendous appetite for capturing the magical and the ordinary. We are obsessed with documenting everyday moments, whether its a sh
49、ot of our breakfast, our cat or the cats breakfast. Even photo journalists are experimenting with mobile phones because their near invisibility makes it easier to capture unguarded moments. In the past, magazines published unforgettable photos of important people and global events that captured our
50、imaginations. These photos had the power to change public opinion and even the course of history. But if there are fewer memorable images today, its not because there are fewer good images. Its because there are so many, and no one image gets to be special for long. As people everywhere embrace phot
51、ography and the media make use of citizen journalists, professional standards appear to be shifting. Before digital images, most people trusted photographs to accurately reflect reality. Today, images can be altered in ways the naked eye might never notice. Photojournalists are trained to accurately
52、 represent what they witness. Yet any image can be altered to create an “improved” picture of reality. The average viewer is left with no way to assess the accuracy of an image except through trust in a news organization or photographer. The question of the accuracy of images gets even trickier when
53、 photojournalists start experimenting with camera apps - like Hipstamatic or Instagram -which encourage the use of filters（滤镜）. Images can be colored, brightened, faded, and scratched to make photographs more artistic, or to give them an antique look. Photographers using camera apps to cover wars an
54、d conflicts have created powerful images-but also controversy. Critics worry that antique-looking photographs romanticize war, while distancing us from those who fight in them. Yet photography has always been more subjective than we assume. Each picture is a result of a series of decisions - where t
55、o stand, what lens to use, what to leave in and what to leave out of the frame. Does altering photographs with camera app filters make them less true? Theres something powerful and exciting about the experiment the digital age has forced upon us. These new tools make it easier to tell our own storie
56、s - and they give others the power to do the same. Many members of the media get stuck on the same stories, focusing on elections, governments, wars, and disasters, and in the process, miss out on the less dramatic images of daily life that can be as revealing. Who knows? Our obsession with document
57、ation and constantly being connected could lead to a dramatic change in out way of being. Perhaps we are witnessing the development of a universal isvual language, one that could change the way er relate to each other and the world. Of course, as with any language, there will be those who produce po

They also set your brand apart - they are distinctive and there is no confusion with competitors.Choosing a brand name Talk to anyone in the business world and they will tell you that a good advertising
65、 campaign can only get you so far. _67_ So how do you do about choosing one? A descriptive business name, for example Petes Bakery, might seem the best solution. It effectively communicates what your business is so it is easy for people to understand what you do. This is especially useful if you are
66、 a small business with limited advertising budgets. Another bonus is that this sort of name will be thrown up in internet searches, so you may get easy additional business. However, descriptive names have some drawbacks. The biggest one is if you later decide to expand your business to other areas.
67、_68_ Another disadvantage is that these generic names can easily be confused with similarly-named competitors-your customers may find them when they were looking for you. An increasing number of companies and freelancers are creating a brand around their own name. Think of Adidas or Kelloggs -when t
68、hey set up their companies, Adi Dassler and William Kellogg were unknown but they have been so successful that their names have become world-famous brands. _69_ This strategy demands more marketing and a strong advertising campaign, which can be costly. So how do you go about inventing a name? One m
69、ethod is to use acronyms or abbreviations, for example IKEA(IngvarKamprad Elmtaryd Agunaryd). If you prefer, you can use combined names such as Microsoft (Micro+software). _70_It is well worth taking as long as you need to come up with the name that will suit the business and that you can be proud o
70、f. Summary writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for
71、 the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking peoples e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob sto
72、ries. “The if it bleeds rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and dont care how youre feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You dont want them to think of you as a Debb
73、ie Downer.” Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication - e-mails, Web posts and reviews, fact-to-face conversations - found that if tended to be more positive than negative, but that didnt necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because peop
74、le experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times website. He and a Penn. colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first fin
75、dings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed The Times readers and made them want to share this positive felling with others. Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that in
76、spired negative feeling like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article was, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, Contagious: W
