I have sought it, next, because it relieves lonelines
18、sthat terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagin

Educators arrange them i
25、n the belief that schools exist not only to teach economically useful skills, but also to produce civilized young people who appreciate the art and culture. While there are parents who will take their children to cultural places in their free time, there are plenty of other children who will never h
26、ave this kind of opportunity unless schools offer it. So you could say that taking school students on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage.However, the attitude towards field trips in recent years is changing, with the number of tours organized for school
27、 groups falling significantly in museums all around the country. The most obvious reason is the issue of finance. Because there are increasing demands on their funds, after all, computers and sports facilities arent cheap, schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited
28、money they have. Faced with this dilemma, field trips are an obvious thing to cut since they are seen by many as a luxury.Additionally, the nature of these field days is also changing. Schools increasingly use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportu
29、nity for cultural learning. This shift could have a basis in generational differences between teachers reasons for organizing days out of school. A recent survey conducted among 500 Arkansas teachers showed that older teachers were significantly more likely to take the primary purpose of a field tri
30、p as a learning experience than younger teachers, who view it as fun.Some evidence shows the trend of fewer trips may have a negative effect on childrens development. A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their k
31、nowledge of and the ability to think critically about art. They also display stronger historical interest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the future. The researchers warn that if schools cut field trips or switch to less educational destinations, valuable opportunities to broaden an

To make every student exposed to art and culture.C. To educate students to preserve cultural heritage.D. To encourage parents to
33、 take their children there.29. Which factor most probably leads to the trend of fewer field trips?A. The drop in school funds.B. Students demand for fun.C. The dilemma of school finance.D. Teachers generational differences.30. What does the underlined phrase “This shift” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. T
34、he switch from old generations to young generations.B. The switch from sporting events to cultural experiences.C. The change from an opportunity to learn to a treat to entertain.D. The change from educational destinations to luxurious attractions.31. What can be inferred about field trips from the r
35、esearch by Jay Greene?A. Students are rewarded with more cultural awareness.B. Amusement parks enrich childrens learning experiences.C.

36、ther in a room, and its a game of luck as to how well theyll function as a team. The larger the group, the more difficult it becomes. Its a lot like dining out with a bunch of friends. Where to go? Italian? Vegetarian? Steakhouse? Each person has their own appetite, which can make creating a “shared
37、-interest” extremely challenging.Shared-interest is the lifeblood of teams, and only the most successful companies know how to foster it. But how?“Project Aristotle”, an experiment led by Abeer Dubey, a manager in Googles People Analytics division was conducted in 2012 to discover how to build the “
38、perfect team.” After years of analyzing data and interviews from more than 180 teams across the company, Google found that the individual personalities in a team are not so relevant.“We had lots of data, but there was nothing showing that a mix of specific personality types or skills or backgrounds
39、made any difference. The who part of the equation didnt seem to matter,” Dubey said in an interview with The New York Times. Instead, the researchers found that there were five key characteristics of enhanced teams:Psychological safety: Everyone feels safe in taking risks, and that they wont be emba
40、rrassed or punished for doing so.Dependability: Everyone completes quality work on time.Structure and clarity: Everyone knows what their specific expectations are. These expectations must be challenging yet attainable.Meaning: Everyone has a sense of purpose in their work, for example, supporting fa
41、mily.Impact: Everyone sees that the result of their work actually contributes to the organizations overall goals.While Googles findings may be true to some extent, a large number of scientific studies have caused researchers outside of Googles lab to shockingly disagree. Thomas Chamorro-Premuzic, a
42、professor of business psychology at Columbia University and author of the book “Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?” and psychologist Dave Winsborough are among them. They both claim that personality, in particular, heavily affects the role of an individual within a team and is indeed a s
43、ignificant factor in what makes a team successful.Researchers found that the poorest-performing teams were 100 percent “pragmatic” (讲求实效的 ) and had 0 percent relationship-building traits. “Too often, organizations focus merely on the functional role and hope that good team performance somehow follow
44、s,” Chamorro-Premuzic andWinsborough co-wrote in a Harvard Business Review article. “This is why even the most expensive professional sports teams often fail to perform according to the individual talents of each player: There is no psychological synergy ( 协 作 ). A more effective approach focuses as
45、 much on peoples personalities as on their skills.”32. Why does the author mention the example of “dining out”?A. To emphasize the challenges of creating a common interest.B. To cater for the different tastes of people from all walks of life.C. To stress the importance of different individuals in te
46、ams.D. To get more different people involved in building a team.33. What might be the least deciding factor of a perfect team according to Googles lab?A. Dependability.B. A sense of purpose.C. Psychological safety.D. Individual personalities.34. According to the last paragraph, why do the most expen
47、sive professional sports teams fail to perform?A. Because they care more about the result. B. Because they are not talented enough.C. Because they lack relationship building.D. Because they are vague about their roles.35. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By making basic assumptions.B. By givin

But it seems to be an automatic reaction when we get sad or upset. 37 However, the feeling is the same your cheeks puff up, your eyes tighten and before
