Each of her objects had i
26、ts place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签 ) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Kat
27、e came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, Take your shoes away! Why under my bed! Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone cal
28、l. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬 ) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden ,a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my
29、 heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didnt notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands t
30、o grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. Thanks.Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year.

33、 Most damagingly, anger weakens a persons ability to think clearly and keep control over his behaviour. The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the person or situation that arouses his anger.Not everyone experiences anger in the same way; what angers one person
34、 may amuse another. The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and cultural forces. In contemporary culture, physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially harmful to be tolerated. We no longer regard duels (决斗) as an appropriate expr
35、ession of anger resulting from one persons awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another. Anger can be identified in the brain, where the electrical activity changes. Under most conditions EEG (脑电图) measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and left prefronta
36、l (额叶前部) areas. Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition (意向) that most of us possess most of the time. But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas arent balanced and, as a result of this, were likely to react. And our behavioural response to ang
37、er is different from our response to other emotions, whether positive or negative.Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour we move closer to people we like. Most negative emotions, in contrast, are associated with avoidance behaviour we move away from people and things that we d
38、islike or that make us anxious. But anger is an exception to this pattern. The angrier we are, the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger. This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as offensive anger the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person
39、 or situation causing his anger. This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry (不对称) of EEG activity. Interestingly, this asymmetry lessens if the angry person can experience empathy (同感) towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response. In def
40、ensive anger, in contrast, the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation.60. The “duels” example in Paragraph 2 proves that the expression of anger _.A. usually has a biological basis B. varies among peopleC. influences on
41、es thinking and evaluation D. is socially and culturally shaped61. What changes can be found in an angry brain?A. Balanced electrical activity can be spotted.B. Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas.C. Electrical activity corresponds to ones behaviour.D. Electrical activity agrees with o
42、nes disposition.62. Which of the following is typical of offensive anger?A. Approaching the source of anger. B. Trying to control what is disliked.C. Moving away from what is disliked. D. Feeling helpless in the face of anger.63. What is the key message of the last paragraph?A. How anger differs fro
43、m other emotions. B. How anger relates to other emotions.C. Behavioural patterns of anger. D. Behavioural responses to anger.C A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑). Students are increasingly using laptops for not
44、e-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度). But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes mindlessly by taking down
45、 word for word what the professors said In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper .They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk , they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on
46、how well they understood concepts. The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts. The researchers report said, W
47、hile more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes b
48、y hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.64. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can .
49、A. write more notes B. digest concepts better C. get higher scores D. understand lectures better65. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be . A. mindless B. skillful C. thoughtful D. tireless66. The author of the passage aims to .A. examine the importance of long-term memoryB. promote the use of
50、 laptopsC. explain the process of taking notesD. stress the benefit of taking notes by hand67. The passage is likely to appear in .A. a newspaper advertisement B. a computer textbookC. a science magazine D. a finance reportD Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who
51、 consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favo
52、rite TV show is over. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Merc
53、ola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walki
54、ng to small shops and farmers markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal. After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Dont Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop
55、rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym. In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity or extreme overweight among adults is only 6%. Howe
56、ver, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% and is growing.68. In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola? A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently. B. Th
57、ey squeeze eating between the other daily activities. C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles. D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.69.
