26、g of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an o
27、rder for stamps was sent to a London Printer-Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy
28、 the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid” on the several hundred stamps that he printed.Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blues
29、 rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as $ 16 800 for it.56Over a century ago, Mauritius _.Awas an independent countryBbelonged to IndiaCwas one of the British coloniesDwas a small island in the Pacific Ocean57The mistake on the stamps was made _.Ain MauritiusBat Mauritius Government House

31、ct(互动) these days. The term is “networked individualism”. This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the inventio
32、n of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that
33、 for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say thats a good thing. Why?In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated us and caused up to spend too much tim
34、e in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expectedhelpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million American
35、s told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.Thanks to the computer, we are able to be alone and together with other peopleat the same time!59The underlined phrase “networked individualism” probably means that by using computers people _.Astick to th
36、eir own ways no matter what other people sayBhave the rights and freedom to do things of their own interestCdo things in their own ways and express opinions different from other peopleDare able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people60According to the Pew study, what do
37、many people rely on to make major life decisions?ANetworks.BFriends.CPhones.DParents.61It can be inferred from the Pew study that _.Apeople have been separated from each other by using computersBthe Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonelyCthe Internet has become a tool for a n

39、CA study published in September suggests there is a surprising way to get people to avoid unhealthy foods: change their memories. Scientist Elizabeth Loftus of the University of California at Irvine asked volunteers to answer some questions on their personalities and food experiences. “One week late
40、r,” Loftus says, “we told those people wed fed their answers into our smart computer and it came up with an account of their early childhood experiences.” Some accounts included one key additional detail. “You got sick after eating strawberry ice-cream.” The researchers then changed this detail into
41、 a manufactured(人为促成的) memory through leading questionsWho were you with? How did you feel? By the end of the study, up to 41% of those given a false memory believed strawberry ice-cream once made then sick, and many said theyd avoid eating it.When Loftus published her findings, she started getting
42、calls from people begging her to make them remember hating chocolate or French fries. Unfortunately, its not that easy. False memories appear to work only for foods you dont eat on a regular basis. But most important, it is likely that false memories can be implanted(I灌输) only in people who are unaw
43、are of the mental control. And lying to a patient is immoral, even if a doctor believes its for the patients benefit.Loftus says theres nothing to stop parents from trying it with their overweight children. “I say, wake up parents have been lying about Father Christmas for years, and nobody seems to
44、 mind. If they can prevent diseases caused by fatness and all the other problems that come with that, you might think thats more moral lie. Decide that for yourself.”63Why did Loftus ask the volunteers to answer some questions?ATo improve her computer program.BTo find out their attitudes towards foo
45、d.CTo find out details she can make use of.DTo predict what food theyll like in the future.64What did Loftus find out from her research?APeople believe what the computer tells them.BPeople can be led to believe in something false.CPeople tend to forget their childhood experiences.DPeople are not alw
46、ays aware of their personalities.65According to the study, people may stop having a certain food if they _.Alearn it is harmful for healthBlie to themselves that they dont want itCare willing to let doctors control their mindsDthink they once had a bad experience of eating it66What is the biggest co
47、ncern with the method?AWhether it is moral.BWho it is best for.CWhen it is effective.DHow it should be usedDOver the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determine
48、d to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happie
49、r. But the link between money and happiness is complex. In the past half-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends,
50、 neighbors and colleagues.“Dollars buy status, and status makes people feel better,” conclude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways-scientists or actors, for example-may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found t
51、hat the people whose desires-not just for money, but for friends, family, job and health-rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap(差距). Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone. “The gap meas
52、ures just blow away the only measures of income.” says Michalos.Another factor that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad “Given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied?” asks Professor Laura Carstensen.In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people
53、between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotions questionnaire(问卷调查). She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people. Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or theyre more realistic about t
54、heir time running out, older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that dont.“People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever,” she says. “A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring f
55、ar more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.”67According to the passage, the feeling of happiness _.Ais determined partly by genesBincreases gradually with ageChas little to do with wealthDis measured by desires68Some actors would like to accept p
56、oorly-paid jobs because the jobs _.Amake them feel much betterBprovide chances to make friendsCimprove their social positionDsatisfy their professional interests69Aged people are more likely to feel happy because they are more _.AoptimisticBsuccessfulCpracticalDemotional70Professor Alex Michalos fou
57、nd that people feel less happy if _.Athe gap between reality and desire is biggerBthey have a stronger desire for friendshipCtheir income is below their expectationDthe hope for good health is greater1,3,5ESome people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on you
58、r own. My mom was one of those people.My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she seated me on her lap and spoke the words th
59、at would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matt
60、er what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to schoolwalking on my own!When the Great Depression hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us.
61、At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry
62、that they charged an extra $ 2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel(汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.Not surprisingly, mom was one of my stronge
63、st supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mothers words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the worldHoliday Inn. In 1
64、979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.71What Kemmons mom often told him during his chi
65、ldhood was _.AcaringBmovingCencouragingDinteresting72According to the author, who played the most important role in making him walk back to school again?ADoctors.BNurses.CFriends.DMom73What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?AHis terrible experience in the hotel.BHis previous business succes
