Despite my misgivings we were one of the first couples off the gangplank（跳板）.“Lets grab a local taxi and take it to a beach,” said Kate. “What if we miss returning to the Olympia Voyager before she sails?” I asked.“You worry too much.”A twenty-year rusty car stopped, and a smil

31、 absolutely vital to our economy,” said Sandie Dawe, chief executive officer of the agency. About 30 million people visit Briain each year, spending about 16.6 billion pounds ($ 26 billion). The 2012 Olympics is likely to bring in an additional 2.1 billion pounds($ 3.3 billion) in tourism revenue（收入
32、）, according to a government estimate.The etiquette tips were written by agency staff about their own native countries.

After this, one of the rats was put into a small clear cage, which could be opened from the outside. The other rat w

After a few days it finally figured out how to open the door. It released its friend and appeared to be excited, running happily after the trapped rat.Rese
40、archers then did the same experiment on more rats. They found that the rats learned to open the cage faster if there was another rat trapped in it than if it was empty. By the end of the experiment, only five out of the 40 rats had learned to open an empty cage. Twenty-three out of 30 rats has learn
41、ed to open the cage to free another rat.To test just how “carring” a rat could be , researchers then has the rats choose whether to “rescue” a trapped rat or a piece of chocolate. This time the rats were equally likely to free a rat as they were to free the sweets. Inbal Ben-Ami Bartal led the study
42、. “The most shocking thing is they left some of the chocolate for the other rat,” he said.Scientists have always known that empathy（共鸣）is not unique to humans. It has been proven that apes also feel the emotions of other apcs. However, said Jean Decety, one of the co-authors of the study, “this is t

47、richest men on earth must enjoy endless privilege. But 52-year-old Peter Buffett, a son of billionaire investor Warren, doesnt think so.“People who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth can fall victim to what my father has called a silver dagger (匕首) in your back,”u Buffett told Reuters in an
48、 interview. “It leads to a sense of entitlement (权力) and a lack of personal achievement.”Entitlement , he believes, is the worst thing ever. “Anybody who acts as if they deserve something just because is a disaster,” he said. In his new book, Buffett says that the only read inheritance handed down f
49、rom his parents was a philosophy（人生观）: Forge（努力建立）your own path in life. It is a belief that has allowed him to follow his own passions, establish his own identity, and achieve his own successes.Did his father ever want him to go into finance? “It was encouraged for a moment when I was open to the i
50、dea, he told Reuters. But as he grew older, it became clear the financial world was not speaking to my heart.”His father accepted his choice to become a musician. He began his musical career by writing music for TV commercials. He then released his own albums.“I am my own person and I know what I ha
51、ve achieved in my life,” he told Reuters. “This isnt about wealth or fame or money or any of that stuff, it is actually about values and what you enjoy and finding something you love doing.”Along with the book, Buffettt has begun a “Concert & Conversation” tour in which he plays the piano, talks abo
52、ut his life and warns against consumerist（消费主义）culture and damaging the environment.“Economic prosperity may come and go; thats just how it is,” he writes in the book. “But values are the steady currency that earns us the all-important rewards.”53What does “It” in the second paragraph refer to?ABein

EA person has a comparative advantage at producing seriat
56、ing if be can produce it at lower cost than anyone else.Having a comparative advantage is not the same as being the best at something. In fact, someone can be completely unskilled at doing something, yet still have a comparative advantage at doing it I how can that happen?Lets get some more vocabula
57、ry. Someone who is the best at doing something is said to have an basophile advantage. Lance Armstrong (自行车环法七冠王) has an absolute adverting at eyeing. For all I know, Lance Armstrong may also be the fastest typist in the world, giving him an absolute average at typing, too. Since hes better at typin
58、g than you, cant he type more cheaply than you? That is, if someone has an absolute advantage in something, doesnt he sardonically have a comparative advantage in it? The answer is no! if Lance takes time out from cycling to do all his own typing, he sacrifices the large income he ears from entertai
59、ning fans of the Tour de France (环法自由车赛). If, instead, his secretary does the typing, the secretary gives up an alternative secretarial job or perhaps a much lower salary as a cyclist. That is, the secretary is the lower cost typist. The secretary, not Lance Armstrong, has the comparative advantage
60、at typing! The trick to understanding comparative advantage is in the phrase “Jower cost.” Ehat it costs someone to produce something is the opportunity cost the value of what is given up. Someone may have an absolute advantage at producing every single thing, but he has a comparative advantage at m
