In Europe, there are countless cities which are worth visiting, among which Prague and Vienna are both wonderful and exciting cities with a stunning modern atmosphere and ancient history and culture. If you’ve got a European vacation planned, but your limited time or budget can only allow you to explore one of these amazing cities, it may not be an easy decision to make, since each of them may own some unique or outstanding features. Sightseeing While both cities are rich in sightseeing adventures, Prague is definitely more beautiful as a city. You can walk along the Danube River for breathtaking views, sit in one of the many cafes that dot the urban landscape, and breathe in the amazing architecture both old and modern that makes up this Central European metropolis (都市). Vienna is a hotbed of history, home to such great sites such as the Hofburg, Schonbrunn Palace and Gardens, and St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Shopping You most likely don’t travel all the way to Europe just to go shopping. But, if you happen to be a shopaholic, Vienna is definitely a better choice. But be warned: fine goods you buy in Vienna will sometimes be three times more expensive than what they are in the United States or Canada. Cuisine When it comes to great dining, both cities are equally fascinating. Austrians are known for their love of sweets and snacks, which is reflected in many bakeries, cafés, and restaurants scattered around Vienna. Some restaurants in either city offer local cuisine, though you’re more likely to be eating a combination of Western European or even Americanized food. Bear in mind that Prague (being that it is in Central Europe) will be far less pricey than Vienna. Culture What do you hope to see on your trip? Palaces? Medieval Cathedrals? The Opera? How about museums? If you do happen to visit both cities, you’ll find that culture equally as enriching. However, Vienna has more world-class museums which display the rich history of the area. 【1】Which word can best describe Vienna about sightseeing? A.Diverse. B.Historic. C.Modern. D.Romantic. 【2】Which of the following statement is true according to the text? A.Prague has more appealing tourist attractions than Vienna. B.Vienna is a paradise for shopping due to the cheap goods there. C.The food can cost more in Vienna compared with that in Prague. D.Prague is home to many world-known museums and cathedrals. 【3】How does the author organize the passage? A.By comparison. B.By listing examples. C.By providing figures. D.By asking questions. |

According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions (份), it’s the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid. To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly (表面上) participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds. Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took, significantly more when the actor was thin. For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces. The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we’re making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “ I’ll have what she’s having” effect. However, we’ll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I’ll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I’ll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can’t I? 【1】What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in paragraph 1 refer to? A.Big eaters. B.Tall thin persons. C.Overweight persons. D.Picky eaters. 【2】Why did the researchers hire the actor? A.To see how she would affect the participants. B.To test if the participants could recognize her. C.To study why she could keep her weight down. D.To find out what she would do in the two tests. 【3】On what basis do we “adjust the influence” according to the last paragraph? A.How hungry we are. B.How we feel about the food. C.How slim we want to be. D.How we observe others. 【4】What is the recent study mainly about? A.Food safety. B.Movie viewership. C.Eating behavior. D.Consumer demand. |

The morning after an evening struggle to care for my three-year-old daughter, I couldn’t wait to get her to school. I, as a mother, was tired from the hopelessness and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development. As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate. Nothing was right with our world. She’d been born around the same time when the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession. My job and my house had been victims. Then this happened. My child’s language delay was identified, but doctors struggled to properly help her, I felt like we both needed to be rescued. I returned that afternoon as disenchanted as when I left. Walking slowly toward the school’s playground gate, I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me. “You should have seen her today!” His breathy words were supported by excitement. I didn’t interrupt. “See that climber.” He pointed to a wooden piece of playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. “Well, every day since she started school, she’s tried and failed to make it to the top.” He took a breath. “And today she did it!” He expressed his joy just as he’d witnessed her conquering Mount Everest! “She cheered and celebrated! I wish I’d recorded it!” His words comforted me. My daughter had conquered her mountain. As she ran toward me, I recognized something I hadn’t before. I saw her perseverance. I saw her strength. I saw a hero. Everyday greatness celebrates ordinary people who do unusual things in big and small ways, showing courage, kindness, love and selflessness. We encourage you to click these brief accounts and invite you to share your own story. 【1】Why did the author rush her daughter to school that morning?

D.She broke down because she was exhausted caring for her daughter last nigh 【2】What does the underlined word “disenchanted” mean in Paragraph3? A.hopeless B.relieved C.satisfied D.worried 【3】Why did the author feel so proud of her daughter? A.Because she began to communicate with others normally. B.Because she was so determined and ambitious to be a good climber. C.Because she overcame the difficulty and managed to do what she wanted.

Robots are now being employed not just for dangerous tasks, such as discovering mines or rescuing people in disasters. They are also finding application as household helps and as nursing assistants. As the number of machines increases, which are equipped with the latest artificial intelligence and take on a growing variety of specialized and everyday tasks, the question of how people see them and behave towards them becomes ever more urgent. A team led by Sari Nijssen of Radboud University and Markus Paulus, Professor of Developmental Psychology at Ludwig-Maximilians- Universitat (LMU), have carried out a study to determine the degree to which people show concern for robots and behave toward them based on moral principles. According to Sari Nijssen, the study set out to answer the following question: "Under what circumstances would adults be willing to sacrifice robots to save human lives?" The participants were faced with a hypothetical (假设的) moral dilemma:Would they be prepared to put a single person at risk in order to save a group of injured persons? The intended victim presented in the situations was either a humanoid robot that had been humanized (人性化的) to various degrees or a robot that was clearly recognizable as a machine. The study suggested that the more the robot was humanized, the less likely participants were to sacrifice it. Situations that included vivid stories in which the robot was described as a merciful being or as a creature with its own understandings, experiences and thoughts, were more likely to stop the study participants from sacrificing it in the interests of anonymous (无名的) humans. "This result indicates that our study group attached a certain moral status to the robot," says Paulus. "One possible suggestion of this finding is that attempts to humanize robots should not go too far. Such efforts could come into conflict with their intended function—to be of help to us." 【1】What has become a concern about robots? A.How to treat them in life. B.How to humanize them. C.How to use them effectively. D.How to find more applications. 【2】In the study the participants probably have to decide _______. A.where to experience risks. B.when to sacrifice a robot. C.which robot to work with. D.what robots should be like. 【3】What can be inferred from Paulus' words? A.Humanized robots offer less help to people. B.Certain moral status should be attached to robots. C.Humanizing robots too much may be improper. D.Conflicts often happen between humans and robots. 【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A.Robots, a Must for Future B.Robots Saved, People Take the Hit C.Humanized Robots, a New Trend D.Humanized Robots Replace Human |

There is no such thing as a “bad memory”, and everyone can improve their memory, as long as you are not suffering from memory loss as medical condition. 【1】 Stop thinking that you have a “bad memory”. Convince yourself that you do a good memory that will improve. Too many people get stuck here and convince themselves their memory is bad, that they are just no good with names and that numbers just slip out of their minds for some reason. 【2】 Use association to remember facts. 【3】 For example, if you have a hard time remembering that JFK was the president involved in the Bay of Pigs Invasion, just picture the handsome president swimming in an ocean surrounded by happy, oinking pigs. Involve multiple senses. You can stimulate (刺激) more parts of your brain by using as many senses as possible when memorizing information. 【4】 For example, the process of writing information by hand stimulates your brain and makes it easier to remember the information later. 【5】 By developing new mental skills — especially complex ones such as learning a new language or learning to play a new musical instrument — and challenging your brain with puzzles and games, you can keep your brain active and improve its physiological function. A.Exercise your brain as often as possible. B.Give yourself some time to form a memory. C.Erase those thoughts and promise to improve your memory. D.If you want to improve your memory, there are a number of things you can do. E.You can create an image in your mind to help you remember a word or an image. F.This concrete image in your mind will help you link the president with this event. G.When a larger part of your brain is active, your ability to arouse your memory will increase. |

You can imagine how 【2】(awful) shy I was with so many eyes 【3】(fix) upon me. I had no 【4】 (choose) but to prepare for it, though. First of all, I was to draft the speech, which was just a piece of cake for me, a good writer. But 【5】 hardest part lay in my oral presentation from my memory, for to read from the paper was not allowed. The real moment began 【6】 I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank. But my listeners were waiting patiently【7】 any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found 【8】( I ) back, delivering my speech with difficulty. After what seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience 【9】(applaud) — I made it ! From then on, my fear of talking before an audience disappeared. Actually with my confidence building up, I now turn out 【10】 (be) a great speaker. Looking back, I know the greatest difficulty on our way to success is our fear. Overcome it and we will be able to achieve our goals. |

In city like Chengdu and Hangzhou which people have to face heavy traffic, it’s only in the morning when the roads are not crowded. There is hardly any traffic or one can enjoy the walk. In the morning nature was at its best. Having a look at leaves of trees and you’ll find pearls of dew (露水) on it. Flowers wave their heads gentle and spread their pleasant smell. A walk in a big park or on the bank of a stream is even more better refreshing. A 20-minute walk every day gets people look five years younger. |
