18、e are intended for .A. parents B. children C. animal lovers D. architectsBFor most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets, and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevato
19、r experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue, the elevators role in American history has been no less significant than that of
20、 cars. In fact, according to Wilk, the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally(水平地), and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的) columns.If we tend to ignore the s
21、ignificance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that were hanging from a cable in a long passage.In
22、 a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 y
23、ears, we are still not used to it, ”Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today, as
24、the worlds urban population explodes, and cities become more crowded, taller, and more crowded, Americas total number of elevators900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazines “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”are a force thats becoming more important than ever. And for the peopl
25、e who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.24. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The particular interests of experts._B. The general view of elevators.C. The desire for a remarkable machine.D. The
26、 enthusiasm for transport vehicles.25. The authors purpose in mentioning cars is .A. to emphasize the importance of elevators B. to contrast their functions with elevatorsC. to reveal their secret war against elevators D. to explain peoples preference for elevators26. According to Prof. Bernard, wha
27、t has made the elevator ride different from other life experiences?_A. Vertical direction. B. Little physical space.C. Lack of excitement. D. Uncomfortable conditions.27. The author urges readers to consider. _A. the exact number of elevator lovers B. the serious future situation of elevatorsC. the
28、relationship between cars and elevators D. the role of elevators in city developmentCFailure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In t
29、he former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy
30、to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (按字母的)order, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the days work wit
31、h the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation,
32、I work as hard as I canthen let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopedia Britannica( 大英百科全书), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked.
33、My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up sudd
34、enly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try t

39、aced by your body.It may come as a surprise, but whole blood is only rarely used. Different blood components are used to treat a range of conditions. None goes to waste.
