The Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat (脱帽打招呼) to the figures in the picture. Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The world’s first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum’s most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in l801. Three of Peale’s seventeen children were also famous artists. Raphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many famous people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits.

Most people, when they travel to space, would like to stay in orbit (轨道) for a few days or more. And this stands to reason, if you’re paying $ 20,000 for your trip to orbit! So in order for tourism to reach its full potential there’s going to be a need for space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel?private rooms, meals, bars. But they’ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views?of Earth and space?and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity?including sports and other activities that make use of this. The hotels themselves will vary greatly?from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury (奢侈的) structures at a later date. It’s actually surprising that as later as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven’t expected the costs to come down far enough to make them possible. Lots of people who’ve been to space have described vividly what it’s like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sorts of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you don’t need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so you’ll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below. Of course all good things have come to an end, unfortunately. And so after a few days you’ll find yourself heading back to the earth. You’ll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again-or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel! 【小题1】【小题1】When traveling in space, most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because ________. A. it is expensive to travel in space B. they would find the possible life in other star systems C. they could enjoy the luxury of space hotels D. they want to realise the full potential of tourism 【小题2】【小题2】Which of the following is a unique experience that space hotels will offer? A. The gravitational pull. B. The special views. C. The relaxation in a bar. D. The space walk. 【小题3】【小题3】Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage? A. When was the space traveling made possible? B. What are the unique experiences that space hotels will offer? C. Why were there not many published designs for space hotels? D. How can the travelers enjoy themselves in space hotels? 【小题4】【小题4】This passage is mainly about ________. A. traveling in space B. the ways of living in space hotels C. zero gravity and space hotels D. the description of space hotels |

Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation (感觉) of warmth encourages emotional (情感的) warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions?those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist (心理学家) John A. Bargh. Psychologists have known that one person’s perception (感知) of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable (能干的). Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries. To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses (假设), handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form: The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink. “We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly (抽象的),” says Bargh. 【小题1】According to Paragraph I，a person’s emotion may be affected by ________. A. the visitors to his office B. the psychology lessons he has C. his physical feeling of coldness D. the things he has bought online 【小题2】In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to _________. A. judge someone’s personality B. write down their hypotheses C. fill out a personal information form D. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively (有选择地) 【小题3】We can infer from the passage that ________. A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiences B. feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwide C. physical temperature affects how we see others D. capable persons are often cold to others |

Like it or not, there will be difficult times in our lives. You might lose your job, fail in your exams or have an illness. 【小题1】 Here are some ways not to lose hope during difficult times. 1. Have faith. 【小题2】 No matter how bad the situation is, things will turn out to be good in the end. Several years ago I failed to get my master’s degree. It was a really bad experience. 【小题3】 It was of much better quality than my previous university. Experiences like this strengthen my belief that having faith is important during difficult times. 2. Be around supportive people. Going through difficult times is hard, and going through them alone is even harder. You need a group of positive people who can support you. 【小题4】 If you don’t, my suggestion is to start looking for one. Don’t wait until you need it, because it will be too late by then. You need the community before difficult times come. 3. Help others. An additional benefit of being in a good community is that it encourages you to think about other people. It pushes you to help others and, therefore, think about other people 【小题5】 As a result, your situation won’t look as bad as it would be otherwise. Often the situation looks worse than it really is because we give too much attention. Shifting (移开) some of your attention away will put the situation in a better view. A. Your community helps a lot. B. Whatever it is, it’s important not to lose hope. C. I changed my attitude towards failure. D. In this way you take your focus away from yourself. E. But I got a scholarship at an overseas university later. F. You must believe that things will work out well eventually. G. You should become part of a community that cares for one another. |
