We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why dont you photograph
22、a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then itll look like a sunset.” “Thats a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”The camera crew went out early the next morning and

29、e, lets take a look at three types ofwaits.The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait.It is without doubt the most annoying of all.Take filling up the kitchen sink as an example.There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until its
30、full.During these waits,the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks.This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait.This one requires a bit of discipline. Prope

Bring three cups of water to boil,add mix,simmer(炖）three minutes,remove from heat,let stand five minutes.I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all,Forced Waiting requir
32、es patience.Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait.This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary.Unlike the Forced Wait,which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.Turning ones life into a wai
33、ting game requires faith and hope,and is strictly for the optimists among us.On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes,but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it.As long as one doesnt come to rely on it,wishing for a few good things to h
34、appen never hurts anybody.We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting.The next time youre standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that youll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky,dont be desperate.Youre probably just as busy as the next gu

36、s directions.D.The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.30.What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?A.It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.B.It doesnt always bring the desired result.C.It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.D. It doesnt give people faith and hope.31.The author supports
37、 his view by.A.exploring various causes ofwaitsB.describing detailed processes ofwaitsC.analyzing different categories ofwaitsD.revealing frustrating consequences ofwaitsDThe Enigma (谜）of BeautyThe search for beauty spans centuries and continents. Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years
38、show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发）of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.There is at least one good reason for the desi
39、re to be attractive：beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier.But what exactly is beauty? Its difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a
40、 very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.The idea
41、that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientist
42、s, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders equal health and genetic well-being.Not everyone thinks the same way, however. Our hardwiredness can be changed by all sorts of expectations mostly cultural, says C. Loring Brace, an anthropol
43、ogist at the University of Michigan. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines：the women on the pages are thin. But is this perfect body type for women worldwide? Scientists answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective an
44、d varies around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem
45、 to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder.32. Peoples ideas about beauty _.A. have existed since ancient timesB. can be easily descr
46、ibedC. have little influence on a persons successD. are based upon strict criteria33. In Paragraph 3, the babies in the study _.A. were rated for their appearanceB. were entered in a beauty contestC. were shown photos of a group of college studentsD. were able to tell attractive faces from unattract

We can learn from the passage that _.A. the ideas of beauty vary as people grow upB. the search for beauty is rooted in lack of confidenceC. the standards for beauty are

52、ologist About Anxiety DisordersThough many types of anxiety disorders exist,research suggests that most are driven by similar underlying processes.People with anxiety disorders tend to become easily overwhelmed by their emotions,and they tend to have particularly negative reactions to those unpleasa
53、nt feelings and situations.39Unfortunately,avoidance can backfire and actually feed the anxiety.Psychologists are trained in diagnosing anxiety disorders and teaching patients healthier, more effective ways to cope.A form of psychotherapy known as cognitive-behavioral therapy（CBT)is highly effective
54、 at treating anxiety disorders.Through CBT,psychologists help patients learn to identify and manage the factors that contribute to their anxiety.Psychotherapy for Anxiety Disorders:What to ExpectPsychotherapy is a collaborative process,where psychologists and patients work together to identify speci
55、fic concerns and develop concrete skills and techniques for coping with anxiety. 40However,psychologists wont push patients into such scenarios until theyre sure they have the skills they need to effectively confront their fears.Psychologists sometimes use other approaches to treat anxiety disorders

59、l business meeting. Six men, neatly dressed in white shirts and ties filed into the boardroom of a small Jakarta company and sat down at a long table. But instead of 41 files or hearing reports, they closed their eyes and began to meditate, consulting the spirits of ancient Javanese kings. Mysticism
60、 touches almost every aspect of life in Indonesia and business is no 42 . One of the meditators said his weekly meditation sessions are aimed mainly at bringing the peace of mind that makes for good decision-making.

61、 helped 43 the profits of his five companies.Mysticism and profits have come together since the 13th century introduction of Islam to Indonesia by Indian Moslem merchants.
