Rosa didnt like her jobat the factory, but it was better than no job at all. So, while she was trying not to think about work,she saw the pots in an alley. They were cheap plastic pots, but there were dozens of them piled upbehind the flower shop. Such a waste, she thought. When the pots were still there three days later,Rosa went in and asked if she could take some. The flower shop lady said she didnt mind, so Rosacarried home a tower of pots, pretending she was a circus performer on the way.At home, Rosa set them on the fire escape outside her tiny apartment. And there they sat. Oncea gust of wind sent them slipping to the street three floors below, and she had to go to run after and catch them before the gathering storm. 子 川 教 育 提 供 西 城 区 名 校 教 师 课 外 辅 导 英 语 第 6页 （ 共 11 页 ） Every day, Rosa went to work and thought about her pots.

After all, apartfrom using expensive laser removal therapy, they stay on your skin forever.The Prinker is here to change the game. It is a device(设 备 ) that lets you create or print anyimage or temporary tattoos within a matter of seconds. It is connected to your smartphone and youcan select a bunch of preloaded tattoos available in the app. This device was exhibited at The International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this 子 川 教 育 提 供 西 城 区 名 校 教 师 课 外 辅 导 英 语 第 7页 （ 共 11 页 ） year. It is manufactured by a Korean startup company called “SketchOn”.You can sketch your ideas out on your skin with this portable device that is almost twice thesize of a computer mouse. This is a nice way to support your team in the match by printing its logoor design onto your skin. You can also share your tattoo designs with others through the app. It isalso a fun and creative toy for kids to play with.In order to print the design, all you need to do is select or draw a design on your mobile andthen press and rub the base of the device against your skin and you are done. These designs andimages are water resistant but can be washed off with soap water. The ink of the Prinker is non-toxicand is made only from certified cosmetic ingredients. Each cartridge (墨 盒 ) contains enough ink forabout 1,500 tattoos, or as J. R. Smith would call it, “a good start.”The Prinker is developed by a small team of five members. The company is planning to launchthe device in China and then in the United States. The device is currently commercializing in Korea as a rental device. The agencies and organizations pay $150 for a day to use it in their events ormarketing.The current version of Prinker is aimed towards business users (think festivals, carnivals, sportsevents, promotion campaigns). But the company is working on a home version, and hopes to have itavailable to buy before the end of 2018. SketchOn estimates the personal model will retail at $200.The company is currently seeking to partner with international agencies for distributionopportunities.Although Prinker is currently aimed towards novelty and creative purposes, its technologiescould eventually be adapted for use by professional tattoo artists or medical professionals whoprovide tattoos for patients, such as after a breast cancer operation or skin graft.59.According to the passage, tattoos by Prinker .

Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: Howcan willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests,what can be done to make it stay strong?Avoiding temptation(诱 惑 ) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is calledthe “out of sight, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers are less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troublingquestion. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers dontbelieve that ones willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold somewillpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into thosereserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. Highmotivation might help overcome weakened willpowerat least to a point.Willpower may also be made less vulnerable( 脆 弱 ) to being exhausted in the first place.Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavyuse. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles becomeexhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutionson New Years Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reducewillpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words,dont try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Takinggoals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, youll nolonger need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits willbecome routine, and wont require making decisions at all.Many questions about the nature of self-control remain to be answered by further research. Yetit seems likely that with clear goals, good self-monitoring and a little practice, you can train yourwillpower to stay strong in the face of temptation. 子 川 教 育 提 供 西 城 区 名 校 教 师 课 外 辅 导 英 语 第 9页 （ 共 11 页 ） 63. From the studies in the passage we learn that _.A. people have unlimited self-controlB. high motivation ensures ones successC. willpower is hardly completely exhaustedD. too many temptations often lead to failure64.

To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?A. “I will give up dessert and do exercise.”B. “I will set three goals this new semester.”C. “I will keep myself from any temptation.”D. “I will read an English novel every month.”DThe aggressive spread of market economics and communication technologiesoften under thecontrol of Western multinational companiesbrings new challenges to local cultures and values innon-Western societies. Sometimes it seems as if a tidal wave of the worst Western culture is creeping across the globe like a giant strawberry milkshake spill out and over the planet, with aflavor that is distinctly sweet, sickly and apparently homogeneous(同 质 的 ).For some, especially the young, change may mean escape from oppressive traditions. It mayalso bring new opportunities for cultures to be combined in creative ways. However, there is genuinecause for concern about the rate at which cultures are being worn away in such a globalized world.Perhaps by far the most important far-reaching effect of cultural globalization is thecommerciali
