We landed in the Doha airport at 11:40 pm, and were determined to do something more fun and different, even though we were a little sleepy. The idea is getting huge bags of chocolates and passing them out to strangers in the Doha airport, along with a lively and cheerful “Happy New Year!” At first, we got rejected, and the staff looked at us strangely(they have strict rules on not accepting giftseven tiny ones). Passersby thought we were crazy and trying to sell something, but we persevered(坚持不懈). We ended up meeting at least 80 strangers and listening to different heart-opening stories. And among them were two Swedish women, who looked terribly exhausted in the Bali airport. And when we shared the chocolates in Doha, we learned that their entire purse, with ATM cards and money in it, had been stolen in Bali, and they had no money on them. We were moved and gave them money to spend the night in the business class waiting room and they were so relieved! There were other sweet gentle people we met with whom we laughed and shared travel and life stories-cute children, an old British couple, lovely college girls from Australiapeople from around the world.

Even if youre satisfied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until you drop dead?According a recent Wall Street Journal column, psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles. “Maximisers” are people who want the best. They like to take their time and weigh a wide range of optionssometimes every possible onebefore choosing. “Satisficers” would rather be fast than thorough. They are people who want good enough.Schwartz and his colleagues followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June. They found that the maximisers landed better jobs. Their starting salaries were, on average, 20 percent higher than those of the satisfivers, but they felt worse about their jobs.There is no right choice. “The maximiser is kicking himself because he cant examine every option and at some point has to just pick something,” Schwartz says. “Maximixers make good decisions and end up feeling bad about them. Satisfivers make good decisions and end up feeling good.”Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making, says Jane C. Hu in SLATE online magazine. Hu suggests, decrease your range of options. Once youve arrived at a decision, stick with it. Just accept that no decision is ever completely perfect, and remind yourself that it is the best you can do at the moment. 29. Whats the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To ask readers to think about it. B. To introduce the topic to readers. C. To discuss the problem with readers D. To ask readers to answer the question30. From the passage, we know_. A. maximisers always get the best job B. maximisers would rather be fast than thorough C. maximisers sometimes consider every possible option D. maximisers are more satisfied with their salaries than satisfivers31. Why do satisficers feel better than maximisers? A. Because they feel content with their choices B. Because they have time to make a good decision C. Because they have no patience to make decisions D. Because they have a higher demand for their jibs.32. According to the last paragraph, Hu advises us to_. A. increase the range of options B. spend time making decisions C. accept that nothing is perfect D. stick to the decision we madeDForget countless glasses of water or getting your beauty sleep. The secret of looking young is simply to protect your face from the sun. A new study shows that those who avoid the suns rays look younger than they actually are. However, other supposed rules, from drinking lots of water to sleeping well and exercising regularly, failed to hold back the hands of time. The finding comes from a study of 231 women of all ages who were quizzed about their living habits, including whether they were sun-worshippers. It didnt take into account the sleep pattern. Then researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital guessed how old the women were. Those who took care in the sun tended to have aged more slowly. A lucky four had so few wrinkles and age spots that they appeared to be two decades younger than they really were.Alexa Kimball, a professor of dermatology (皮肤学), says the popular idea that we drink lots of water to stay healthy is a myth and the body is good at judging how much we need. Previous research by the British Nutrition Foundation(BNF)reached a similar conclusion. Just drinking water for the sake of drinking water really has no effect on improving the skin.A second study suggested that low-level day to day exposure to the sun is more ageing than occasional stay in the hot sun. Finally, DNA examination of tiny samples of the womens skin gave some insight into the damage done by the sun.Health experts claim that when women become old, the cells of the skin can be tired out. So they urge women should care about their face year round and not just when on a beach holiday. Besides, wearing the sunscreen every day can make a difference.33. What do we know about the study? A. It mainly focused on sleeping B. The women were of the same age. C. Four women looked 20 years younger D. Low-level daily exposure is younger than occasional stay34. What does Alexa Kimball agree with? A. The body is made up of water. B. The BNF is quite against his view. C. Drinking water can improve the skin. D. People shouldnt rely on water to improve the skin35. Which is suggested by health experts? A. Women should avoid tiredness. B. The sunscreen can do harm to the skin C. Daily protection of the face is important D. There is no need to protect the face in winter第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A little bit of kindnessIn our life there are times when we dont take action because we feel the act of kindness is too little and that it wont make a difference. 36 There are many different ways we can show kindness to othersSome people might think that they do not have a chance to give small acts of kindness. 37 For example, if you ride on a bus, have you ever said good morning to the bus driver or do you just ignore him or her and go to your seat? A simple good morning tells the person that you acknowledge him/her. 38 When you go to the supermarket of grocery store, do you hold the door open for a young woman pushing her baby in a stroller(婴儿车)? 39 When you are at school, do you say good morning to your classmates or just go about your study without acknowledging their presence? Or, do you say something kind to those people you meet on the street that ask for money or who are selling various goods?Generally, a good morning, a door being held open and a kind word are only a few examples of small acts of kindness which can make a difference in ways you may not realize. 40 A. And the list can go on and on.B. Everyone can do a little bit of kindness.C. Dont do anything due to its small kindnessD. Actually these opportunities are everywhereE.
