11、项涂黑。AAre morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I hardly went to bed before midnight, and I would always get up late the next morning.But after a while I couldnt ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare occasions where I d
12、id get up early, I noticed that my productivity was always higher. So I set out to become a habitual early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed that my strategy was wrong. The most common wro
13、ng strategy is this: supposing youre going to get up earlier, youd better go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail.There are two main schools of thought on sleep patterns. One is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The second school says you sh
14、ould go to bed when youre tired and get up when you naturally wake up. However, I have found both are wrong if you care about productivity. If you sleep at fixed hours, youll sometimes go to bed when you arent sleepy enough. Youre wasting time lying in bed awake.My solution is to combine both method
15、s. I go to bed when Im sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 a.m.), but I go to bed at different times every night.However, going to bed only when Im sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning are my ways. If you want to be
16、come an early riser, you can try your own.21. Why did the author want to become a habitual early riser?A. Because he / she found that the productivity was higher.B. Because he / she wanted to do morning exercise.C. Because he / she wanted to test which school is better.D. Because he / she wanted to
17、have more sleep time.22. The author experienced all the following EXCEPT _.A. going to bed after midnight B. asking scholars for advice on sleeping habitsC. getting up early occasionally D. pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping23. According to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to _.A. Peo

19、rategies for getting up early D. how to become an early riserB “Image is everything.” An entire industry has been built upon the assumption that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough. If there is no substance(事实) behind the image, the product, service or
20、 person will fail eventually.First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services. Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection. Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images cre
21、ated by the advertising agencies. But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back. For example, the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness. Bu
22、t the recent scandal (丑闻) showed that behind that image, it cheated in business practices. Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit. Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image
23、has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm.Similarly, personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars. Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right pl
24、aces can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons. But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune. With people, just as with product
25、s and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close.To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the “selling” of a person. But imag
26、e is only half of the equation. What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success.25. The downfall of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm is due to _.A. its previous imagesB. its
27、dishonesty in business C. its bad management D. its poor service26.Why did some famous people fall from grace?_ A. Their images were not well built up B. They felt much pressure from the public.C. They failed to live up to their images D. They paid little attention to fame and fortune. 27.The struct

It can spread from one person to another, according to the recent research that stresses the power of one persons emotions to affect even people t
29、hey dont know.The new analysis, involving 4,793 people who were interviewed every two years between 2005 and 2015, showed that a friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness by the time of the next interview. A friend of that person was 25% more likely, and a frien
30、d of a friend of a friend was 15% more likely.Loneliness is not just the property of an individual. It can be transmitted across peopleeven people you dont have direct contact with,” said John T. Cacioppo, a psychologist of University of Chicago who led the study published in the December issue of t
31、he Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.Loneliness has been linked to medical problems, including depression, sleep problems and generally poorer physical health. Identifying some of the causes could help reduce the emotion and improve health, experts said.Although the study did not examine
32、how loneliness spreads, Cacioppo said another research has provided clues. “Lets say for whatever reason you get lonely. You then interact with other people in a more negative fashion. That puts them in a negative mood and makes them more likely to interact with other people in a negative fashion an
33、d they minimize their social ties and become lonely,” Cacioppo said.According to Cacioppo, loneliness spread more easily among women than men, perhaps because women were more likely to express emotions.Lonely people become less and less trusting others. This makes it more and more difficult for them
34、 to make friendsand more likely that society will reject them. Therefore, it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness. Cacioppo emphasizes people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks.28.It can be concluded from the first .paragrap

A. Refuse the help given by others.B. Admit and try to solve it.C.
37、Interact with others more negatively.D. Express emotions more often.D After having more than a few acquaintances online, it might come a blow to keen social networkers like Barack Obama, or even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg himself. According to a research, the average person has in fact twice a
38、s many online friends as physical ones. Users of social-networking sites have on average 121 online friends as compared with physical ones. The study also claims that people tend to be more open, confident and honest with their virtual friends than their “real” ones. “For most people , the Internet
39、is a way of keeping in touch with loved ones and friends, but for people who are isolated due to illness, it plays a more vital role, and can often act as a lifeline.” says Helen Oxley, a psychologist at Wythenshawe hospital. “People with illnesses often rely on the Internet to facilitate（促进） friend
40、ships, since they blog and use networking sites as a way of dealing with their illness. It can foster a sense of social connection for those who frequently feel isolated, which is important to psychological well-being.” In wider society, the ways in which friendships are formed are changing, with pe

About one in 10 people has either met their best friends online, or believes they can make lifelong friends on the Web. The findings highlight how social introductions are al
42、so changing. Only five percent would ask for someones phone number, while 23 percent are now likely to ask for an email address or a full name with the intention of adding the person to their social network. At the same time, however, a questionnaire completed by 4,427 suggests that 20 percent of pa
