27、 Ive found in books new friends and new worlds.Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the writers or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conc

28、lusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate(分开的), in some way they are connected with each other. The same ideas, or related(相关的) ones, appear in different pla

29、ces; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in books, but with different solutions(解决方法) according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other. They connect the past, the present and the future and have their own generations (age groups), like fa

30、milies. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the end, you not only find out about the world and the people in it, you find out about yourself, too.

DSaying no starts small“All right then just one more piece.” Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.It isnt just girls.

36、Most of us find it hard to say “no” to something attractive. However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on peoples lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to

37、an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow (圆形软糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as

38、they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives. Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely,

39、the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology(心理学) professor (教授) told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just l

40、ike we train our muscles. Even a little practice can strengthen our overall self-control if we do it regularly. You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change

41、little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.Like muscles, willpower can “get tired”. Dont try to do too many things at the same time, or when you dont have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge(恢复) your willpower wit

The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives. D. The children who chose

44、only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower. 32. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower?A. You should have a goal every day. B.

If you have the chance to visit Britain yourself, you can see at every bus stop the British people form a queue. You may have read about it, but you will s

47、till feel amazed to see it with your own eyes.Its an amazing social behavior; it brings the British to a higher level of civilization(文明). At least that is what one German professor thinks. The professor named Joseph Heinrich and his workmates say that standing in line is the “highest form of cooper

48、ative(协作的) group behavior”.The social rules(细则) of standing in line are also interesting. For example, you need to be able to decide the correct distance to the person in front of you. Get too close and there is a danger of entering other peoples personal space. This is a serious mistake and often m

49、akes other people angry. However, when you leave too much space, the next person is likely to ask: “Are you in the queue?” This may sound polite but in fact it means: “Cant you stand in line properly?” In no other countries can you see the one-man queue except in Britain. If a British person arrives

50、 at a bus stop and no one else is there, he will not simply wait. Instead, he stands at the head of the queue. Tourists are often unfamiliar with local customs(习俗), and if they do not get in line behind the British person, he or she will tell them strictly: “This is a queue.” Though it might seem th

51、at the British people take their queues too Seriously, one thing is certain: queues can save lives. In dangerous situations, standing in line has prevented them from getting very frightened.In the serious train accident in 1999, people who were hurt formed a queue as they escaped from their trains.

52、One writer later wrote about a polite man who let her pass with a quiet “after you”.TopicQueuing in BritainProfessors(34)of queuing The British have (35) a higher level of civilization.
