25、 when you need them most, this freshly-launched Kickstarter project might be just what you need. Oombrella, as its called, is a connected umbrella that features a broad suite of environmental sensors that can send updates to your smartphone. The device allows users to receive real-time weather forec
26、ast, and even helps find a lost Oombrella through Oombrellas community of users.According to the products Kickstarter page, Oombrella features a set of Kevlar ribs (伞骨) so that the umbrella can stand high winds and heavy rain without damage. Down below, the handle is made of injected plastic to ensu
27、re that the sensor capsule is completely waterproof. Oombrellas magic is all packed away inside this capsule, which includes sensors to measure temperature, pressure and light. The capsule then uses Bluetooth to transmit this data to the Oombrella mobile app so users can receive weather forecast bef
28、ore the rain even starts. The capsule also features a buzzer (蜂鸣器) and LED light so you can get reminded while your phone is in your pocket.Those who purchase an Oombrella will also get access to Wezzoo, Oombrellas connected user community. Members can share communitys weather information in real ti
29、me, so other Oombrella users can get extremely accurate weather reporting for their specific area as long as there are enough fellow users nearby.Oombrella is all set to hit the global market through the Internet and physical stores this fall. The rainbow-colored Oombrella comes in a classic style t
30、hats about 3.1 feet long with a curved (弧形的) handle, and a modern version that is 0.8 feet long with a straight handle. The Oombrella capsule will also be available on its own, so you could theoretically turn any regular umbrella into a smart Oombrella.The Kickstarter campaign is looking to raise ju
31、st over $653500 by mid-April and backers can get all kinds of Oombrella allowances. Paying $32 in advance will get you a capsule to update your own umbrella with, and paying $66 or more will unlock a variety of full Oombrella editions in your choice of rainbow, black, or white. If all goes according
32、 to plan, Oombrellas will ship soon.56. Whats special about Oombrella?A. Sheltering users from rain.B. Protecting the environment.C. Finding a lost umbrella quickly.D.

35、rvice on smartphone.BWhen we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do somethin
36、g against their will, they may do it because they feel they musts but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion o
37、f fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place m leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own cha
38、racter, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation (积极性). Todays work place is all about relatio
39、nships. Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which theyre recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor in the w
40、ork life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to deve
41、lop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.61. The underlined phrase “shooting oneself in the foot” means _ .A. throw or walk in a specific direction or towards a specific objectiveB. to grow forth from the groundC. to move or pass suddenly or swiftlyD.
42、to injure or harm ones own interests62. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when _ .A. he cannot work at his bestB. he is forced to do thingsC. he feels his brain shut downD. he thinks of his work as too heavy63.

43、tend to associate leadership with fear,B. Working conditions affect peoples physical health.C. Smart people are more functional in the work place.D. Good relationship is the key to business success,64. To positively influence employees, a leader should first of all _ .A. develop his own personalityB
44、. provide better suggestionsC. give his employees a pay raiseD. hide his own emotion of fear65. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leaders ability to _ .A. provide a variety of project for employeesB. help raise employees living standardsC. deal wisely with employees emotionsD. give employees speci
45、fic instructionsCIf you believe that scientists and artists are most creative when theyre young, you are missing an important part of the story. A new study published in De Economist looked at Nobel Prize winners in the field of economics. It found there are two different peaks of creativity. One co
46、mes early in a persons career, while another comes later.The research supports previous work by the authors that found similar patterns m the arts and other sciences.“We believe what we found in this study isnt limited to economics, but could apply to creativity more generally,” said Bruce Weinberg,
47、 lead author of the study and professor of economics at The Ohio State University.“Many people believe that creativity is exclusively associated with youth, but it really depends on what kind of creativity youre talking about.”In the study, those who did their most groundbreaking work early in their
48、 careers tended to be “conceptual” innovators (创新者).These type of innovators “think outside the box”, challenging conventional wisdom and suddenly coming up with new ideas. Conceptual innovators are not yet immersed (沉浸于) in the accepted theories of their field, Weinberg said.But there is another ki
49、nd of creativity, he said, which is found among “experimental” innovators. These innovators accumulate knowledge through their careers and find new ways to understand it.The long periods of trial and error for important experimental innovations come later m a Nobel laureates (荣誉获得者的) career.“Whether
50、 you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach,” Weinberg said.The researchers took a novel, empirical (经验主义的) approach to the study, which involved 31 laureates. They arranged the laureates on a list from the most experimen
51、tal to most conceptual.This ranking was based on the laureates1 most important work, classifying them into “conceptual” or “experimental”.After classifying the laureates, the researchers determined the age at which each laureate made his most important contribution to economics and could be consider
52、ed at bis creative peak.They found that conceptual laureates peaked between ages 25 and 29. Experimental laureates peaked when they were roughly twice as old, m their mid-50s.“Our research suggests that when youre most creative is more about how you approach your work.”66. What does the underlined p
53、hrase “think outside the box” mean?A. Follow rules strictly.B. Experiment on boxes.C. Break old thought patterns.D. Figure out how to escape from a box.67. What do we know about “experimental” innovators?A. They usually come up with new ideas all of a sudden,B. They make discoveries through constant
54、 trial and error.C. The majority of them reach their creative peak in their twenties.D. They make more contributions than “conceptual” innovators.68. Which of the following statements about the study published in De Economist is false?A. The study is not the first of its kind.B. The conclusion can b
55、e applied to other areas.C. The laureates most important work decides whether they are “conceptual” or “experimental”.D. The “conceptual” won their Nobel Prizes between ages 25 and 29.69. What do the researchers believe determines someones creative peak?A. Ones personality type.B. What kind of job o
56、ne takes.C. How one handles their work.D. Ones attitude toward their work.70. Whats the main idea of this passage?A. Creativity comes at any age, young or old.B. Creativity tends to decrease as people get older.C. Economists, artists and other scientists bear many similarities.D. Economists are more
57、 creative than artists and other scientists.DI was enjoying this afternoon more than I had expected. Often, the tryouts for the spring musical tested the limits of ray patience and nerves, with one hopeful girl after another taking turns walking onto the wooden stage, delivering an adequate but unin
58、spired version of some Rodgers & Hammerstein number, and then being politely excused by Mrs. Dominguez as the next name on the list was called.However, this was to be my third straight year in the musical, and the confidence that my seniority afforded me around the more nervous newcomers allowed me
59、to take pleasure in glory of my own balance.I had already sung my audition (试唱) song an hour ago, starting the days ceremonies. This year, I used “God Bless the Child”, a choice I found to be quite sophisticated since Billie Holidays version of it was familiar mostly to adults, and even then, mostly
60、 to adults of the previous generation. More importantly, it required a reserved performance, which I felt showcased my maturity, especially because most of the other auditioners chose songs that would show their enthusiasm, even if it meant their technical mastery would not be on full display.Normal
61、ly, the first audition was feared by most. Mrs. Dominguez would ask if anyone wanted to volunteer to “get it over with,” but no one would make a sound. Then, she would call the first name off her list and the room would drop into an uncomfortably serious silence as the first student walked nervously
62、 up to the stage. I often imagined during those moments that I was witness to a death-house resident taking his march toward a quick curtain.But not this year. I had decided to make a show of my own self-confidence by volunteering to go first. Such a fearless act, I had figured, would probably produ
63、ce even more fear in my competition because they would realize that I had something they clearly lacked, Mrs. Dominguez had seemed neither surprised nor charmed by my decision to go first. Although she was annoyed by my growing pride, I also acknowledged that I was one of the more talented actors an
64、d was probably correct in assuming myself a winner.At this late stage of the afternoon, I felt like a queen, sitting in the back of the auditorium with my royal court of friends and admirers. They took care to sit far enough away from Mrs. Dominguez that they would not be caught in the act of critic
65、izing the other students auditions.To me, the endless parade of the ambitious who sang their hearts out for three minutes each was like clowns performing for my amusement. As Mrs. Dominguez read another name off her list, I prepared myself for a special treat.71. What did the writer do one afternoon
66、?A. She enjoyed her time watching the audition.B. She performed in the school spring musicalC. She attended the selective trial of the school musical.D. She helped Mrs. Dominguez to select musical talent.72. The writer believed the song she chose for her audition _ .A. was the most sophisticated son
67、g by Billie Holidays versionB. would allow her to more effectively showcase her enthusiasmC. would be the most inspiring Rodgers and Hammerstein numberD. would likely be more recognizable to her parents than to her friends73. The mam purpose of the underlined statement in paragraph 5 is _ .A. offer
68、a contrast created by the writers decision to go firstB. present reasons why this years audition was the strangestC. suggest that the writers imagination no longer involved the same imageryD. inform the reader that students fears of going first were something of the past74. Why did the writer volunt
69、eer to perform the first audition of that day?A. To guarantee her role in the play.B. To break the uncomfortable silence.C. To show the competitors her advantages.D. To leave a good impression on the audience.75. The passage portrays the writer as _ .A. concerned and nervousB. proud and indifferentC

74、a story and she sent it to a childrens magazine. They accepted it and paid me some money. So I started earning money by writing at a young age.I also learned a lot from my father. Hed say, “Stand tall, be independent and keep your eyes open.” For what, I dont know! He was quite good at telling stori
75、es, and I think I inherited my gift for storytelling from him. But he could be pretty strict. If I went out with a boy, he had to pick me up from home so my father could question him inside out.My father was 6 feet tall and good-looking, with great charm. He lost a leg m the war while serving in the
76、 Royal Navy, but never let it hold him back. When he was in hospital, ready to have his leg amputated, he said, not depressed, “Well, half a loaf is better than none.” After his death, I returned his artificial leg to the hospital, but walked away in tears. It felt as if I was giving part of him awa
