Having spent over 30 years at Emory researching and practicing storytelling with her, I am pleased President Sterk is choosing storytelling as her theme as our universitys leader. My blogs have focused on the value of family storytelling for developing identity in life. Similarly, collective storytelling within munities builds identity. My Emory colleagues and I have been involved in telling the Emory story for many years, but one really fun plan we began a few years ago was Emory Story Circles. We organized a series of storytelling events built on ideas from NPRS story Corps and grassroots munity organizers, to use our personal and Emory stories, to create bonds. In these story circles of about 8 people including students, staff and munity members, each person told a personal story connecting them to the institution. Our first story circle was co-led by Salman Rusdie, the great author. He treated us all with stories about his experiences as a college student studying history. Then we broke into our own story circles, and each of us told our own story about our Emory experience. Through these stories, connections between faculty and students, college and munity, were made more transparent. Since that first story circle, we have organized several more. Those participating in a story circle with us went on and organized their own story circles which are powerful ways of connecting each other. When we listen to others stories, we learn something about them and also ourselves. We learn what is important and valuable in our lives. So congratulate Dr. Claire Sterk! I applaud her new role as the chief story-teller, and look forward to my Emory munity being more united through our multi-voiced stories!24. What is Emory according to the text? A.

C Martin Lewis explained you might be owed tens of thousands, as long as you claim (索赔) before August xx. He revealed on Good Morning Britain that a new method of Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) reclaiming known as the Plevin ruling meant many more people could receive pensation than ever before. He said, “News this week reported that banks could have to pay out 18 billion more in PPI, after a judge in Manchester County Court ruled that a couple Mr. and Mrs. Doran should receive all of the 76 percent mission (提成) they paid on their PPI policy rather than just the amount over 50 percent plus interest.” This is all about the newest type of PPI reclaiming called the Plevin. If the lender didnt tell you the mission it was receiving for selling PPI, then the regulator has said if the mission was over 50%, you should get back the amount above that ( the typical amount was 66% so many are owed just for this alone). However, he warned you need to act fast to put in a claim, with the period to do so ending in summer next year. “Were now only a little bit more than a year away from the deadline for PPI reclaimingthe last time to put a claim in is August xx.” He said, “So anyone who has had a loan, credit or store card, catalogue account, overdraft or car finance ever should check if you were sold the extra insurance, and if you were, you should look to reclaim it. You dont need to pay anyone to do it because theres free help online. You can use Martins free PPI reclaiming tool and the regulator has a helpline on 0800101 8800 if youre struggling.”28. Why is the couple Mr. and Mrs. Doran mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To stress the regulator is right B. To explain what PPI is about. C. To give a successful case of the Plevin. D. To introduce a new topic for the discussion.29. What is the key for a customer to make a PPI claim according to Martin Lewis? A. Getting in touch with him. B. Getting free help online. C. Lending money. D. Acting fast.30. What can we learn from the text? A. Martin Lewis can make a fortune before August xx. B. The PPI will be put into effect before August xx. C. pensation is much easier to get than ever before. D. The Plevin ruling is not familiar to many people.31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Add a small amount into your saving account B. Avoid losing 55% of your pension C. How to save on PPI policy D. How to make a PPI ruleD Weather could power the next generation of smart windows. Researchers have created glass by harvesting energy from wind and precipitation (降水). The approach offers an alternative to other smart windows powered by batteries, solar panels, and even standard power outlets. “The creation represents a new kind of renewable energy source,” says Liming Dai, a nanomaterial engineer at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, who was not involved in the research. Smart glass, which changes its characteristics to block out light or heat, has been around for decades. mon examples include glare fighting rearview (后视) car mirrors and windows that change color for energy savings and privacy. But many are expensive, and people are still looking for eco-friendly ways to power the windows. Batteries and plug-in outlets arent apparently “green”, and built-in solar panels can cloud or hide parts of the glass. In experiments, the glass produced up to 130 milliwatts per square meter, enough to power a pacemaker or a smart phone while its asleep, the team reported online last month in ACS Nano. This output might suit many applications, such as being a power source for home or office electronics, says co-developer and scientist Zhong Wang of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. Since their first project in xx, a light-up sidewalk powered by footsteps, he and his colleagues have miniaturized their generators to create everything from self-cleaning keyboards to sensors for security systems. But Wang and colleagues still have more work to do before this smart glass is ready for mercialization. Now, the glass has no way to store the energy it creates. To solve this problem, Dai says, transparent super capacitors (超级电容器) could be placed into the glass without decreasing visibility. For now, the team wants to improve the energy efficiency of their nanogenerators (主发电机). These tiny power plants can convert about 60% of the mechanical energy that they encounter into electricity. “The output power is a constant goal,” Wang says. “Free energy surrounds us, and anything can happen if you take control of it.”32. What is unique about the smart glass? A. It can protect privacy. B. It is more expensive. C. It is powered by weather. D. It can block out light and heat.33. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The research history of Zhong Wang. B. The experimental process of Zhong Wang. C. The research theory of Zhong Wangs team. D. The experimental findings of Zhong Wangs team.34. What is the drawback of the smart glass? A. It cannot keep its produced electricity. B. It cannot suit the super capacitors. C. It cannot power a smart phone. D. It cannot change its color according to weather.35. Which of the following best explains “convert” underlined in the last paragraph? A. Consume. B. Transform. C. Waste. D. Reserve.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。将答案写在题后表格里，在试卷上作答无效。 Are you a highly emotionally intelligent person?As we all know, emotional intelligence (EI) has been an important factor in our success and happiness, not only at work, but in our relationships and all areas of our lives.
