Getting lost is an adventurous learning experience that trains you how to be more aware of your surroundings. A few of my most favorite memo
21、ries involve physically getting lost. That one late night trip back to Ludington I took with a few friends. We finally realized we were going the wrong way, almost three hours out of our way.

Henry David Thoreau wrote Not till we are lost, in other words not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations.

Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Experiences of Getting LosB. Wonderfully Getting LostC.
29、 Causes of Getting LostD. Physically Getting LostCYou need only look at a professional cyclist to appreciate the potential effects of cycling on the body. But what about the mind? Its a question that has long challenged anyone who has wondered how riding a bike can offer what feels close to a state
30、of emptying your mind.Dr. John Ratey believes cycling increases the chemistry in your brain that makes you feel calm, and that carrying out multiple operations while cycling can be an effective treatment. As was shown in a German study involving 115 children, half of them did cycling that involved c
31、omplex movements, while the rest performed more straightforward exercises with the same aerobic（有氧的） demands. Both groups did well in concentration tests, but the complex group did a lot better.There have been other interesting findings too. In 2013, Dr. Jay Alberts rode a tandem bicycle, a bicycle
32、built for two riders sitting one behind the other, across the American state of Ohio with a friend who has Parkinsons disease, a condition affecting the nervous system. The idea was to raise awareness of the disease, but to the surprise of both riders, the patient showed significant improvements. Dr
33、. Jay Alberts then scanned the brains of 26 Parkinsons patients during and after an eight-week exercise programme using bikes. Half the patients were allowed to ride at their own paces, while the others were pushed harder. All patients improved, and the group which was pushed harder showed particula
34、rly significant increases in connectivity between areas of intelligence responsible for functions such as walking and picking things up.We dont know how this happens, but there is more evidence of the link between Parkinsons and cycling. A video on the Internet shows a 58-year-old man with severe Pa
35、rkinsons. At first, we watch the patient trying to walk. He can barely stand and his hands shake uncontrollably. Then we see the man on a bicycle being supported by others. With a push, hes off, cycling past cars with perfect balance. Doctors dont fully understand this discrepancy either, but say th
36、at cycling may act as some sort of action that helped the patients brain.The science of cycling is incomplete, but perhaps the most remarkable thing for the everyday rider is that it can require no conscious focus at all. The mindlessness of cycling can not only make us happier, but also leave room
37、for other thoughts. On the seat of my bike, Ive solved problems at work and made life decisions, as. Im sure, have countless others.28. What does the study described in Paragraph 2 suggest?A. Cycling has a good effect on physical fitness.B. The tasks involved in cycling can be hard for children.C. L
38、ack of exercise like cycling causes lack of concentration.D. Cycling can improve the ability to focus attention on a task29. Studies of people with Parkinsons show that _.A. cycling does more good if sufferers put more effort into it.B. cycling on tandem bikes has a better effect on the disease.C. n
39、ot every person with Parkinsons will benefit from cycling.D. social awareness is more important for Parkinsons sufferers.30. What does the underlined part this discrepancy in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Why Parkinsons affects some people and not others.B. Why someone with Parkinsons can cycle but not wa
40、lk.C. How cycling could be included in treatment for Parkinsons.D. How a link between cycling and Parkinsons was discovered.31. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. The effect of cycling is not yet fully understood.B. Cycling is believed to be both complex and mindless.C. Cycling has a significant
41、influence on peoples mind.D. People may be more intelligent with the help of cycling.DTerrible working conditions have a long tradition. Early industry was marked by its dirty, dangerous factories. In the early 20th century workers were forced into dull, repetitive tasks by the needs of the producti
42、on line. However, in a service-based economy, it makes sense that focusing on worker morale might be a much more fruitful approach.Proving this is more difficult. But that is the aim of a new study targeting workers at British Telecom. Three academics-Clement of Erasmus University, Rotterdam, of Oxf
43、ord and George Ward of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology-surveyed 1,800 sales workers at 11 British call centres. All each employee had to do was click on a simple emoji each week to indicate their level of happiness. Those workers were charged with selling customers broadband, telephone and
44、 television deals. In total the authors collected adequate responses from 1,161 people over a six-month period.The results were striking. Workers made 13% more sales in weeks when they were happy than when they were unhappy. This was not because they were working longer hours; in happy weeks, they m
45、ade more calls per hour and were more efficient at turning those calls into sales. The tricky part, however, is determining the direction of causation（因果关系）.Workers may be happier when they are selling more because they expect a bigger bonus.The academics tried a clever way to get round this causati
46、on problem by examining a very British issue-the weather. Workers turned out to be less happy on days when the weather in their local area was bad and this unhappiness converted into lower sales. Since they were making national calls, not local ones, it is unlikely that customer unhappiness with the
47、 weather was driving the sales numbers. So it was worker mood driving sales, not the other way round.Even if this reasoning proves to be correct, businesses may not find it of comfort. The academics point out that what we are not able to do is making an official decision as to whether investing in i
48、mproving employee happiness makes good business sense. It is possible that the costs of such investment might outweigh any gains in productivity.More research is clearly needed. But there is evidence that happier workers are good news for shareholders（持股人）, as well as productivity. Analysts found th
49、e firms where workers gave the best reviews easily outperformed those where employees gave a thumbs down.32. According to the passage, worker morale means _.A. enthusiasm and cheerfulnessB. companions and colleaguesC. competence and productivityD. income and welfare33. What is the major aim of the s
50、tudy mentioned in paragraph 2?A. To analyze the possible factors that affect work efficiency and achievement.B. To test the level of satisfaction of the workers in British sales industry.C. To examine the relationship between happiness and productivity of workers.D. To prove that peoples attitude to
51、ward life affects their work performance.34. The academics examined the weather to prove _.A. sales decline could have been driven by bad weatherB. workers suffer mood swings due to weather changeC. customer unhappiness may result in poor sales numbersD. sales performance is influenced by workers mo

From the passage, we can learn that _.A. companies should try every means to enhance employee happinessB. employees need to have the chance to rate the companies they work forC. the workers happiness is closely related to a companys productivityD. working conditions may have a great impact on
