Do you want to be a NASA astronaut? Like many jobs, the first thing would be to fill out the application. A record-breaking 18,300 people filled out applications recently when NASA announced it was filling its xx Astronaut Candidate program. But out of those 18,300 applicants, just eight to 14 will be hired by the U.S. space agency.It will take 18 months to decide who will be in the new class of astronauts.

NASA s Selection Manager Anne Roemer said, I think leadership, teamwork, the ability to not only work on a team, lead a team, but also follow, be a follower on a team. munication certainly plays a role, so it s some pretty mon skills that I think translate into even other professions.

However, one trend that seems harmless but is actually damaging, is the pressure on stars to have their photos taken with exotic (奇异的) animals. Famous people who are asked to have photos taken with wild animals for a magazine spread or who do so while on vacation always have good intentions and even love animals. This makes them easy tar gets for the often greedy amusement parks and illegal animal centers. Kind people are naturally drawn to places that claim (声称) to offer exotic animals safety and are eager to see elephants paint, to hug baby bears or to swim with dolphins. However, it tums out that many of these business persons are breeders (饲养动物者), dealers or exhibitors that are using famous people s goodwill for their own purposes. Many business persons continually keep the animals just so they 11 have a constant supply of young animals in order to charge money for photos. Of course, the babies are lovely but they grow fast, and within a few weeks they are too big to handle. They 11 spend the rest of their lives, sometimes decades, in small and emptycages or even be killed.In some Asian countries, elephants are kept in camps. A few camps are working to help elephants in trouble, but the vast majority are not, and training methods are barbaric (野蛮的) and cruel. As soon as the cameras are gone after someone like Prince William has a photo taken with an elephant, the chains go back on.Fans, tell the stars: stay away from exotic animal photos, and the animals will be grateful. 28. What does the author intend to do with this passage?A. To show how stars influence cultural trends.B. To urge governments to look into illegal animal centers.C. To persuade stars not to have photos taken with exotic animals. D. To remind people to think about how to treat wild animals kindly.29. According to the passage we can learn that many business personsA. make a great effort to provide safety for animalsB. take advantage of stars good intentions to make profitsC. aim to offer good chances for people to get close to animalsD. expect there to be little petition as exotic animals are rare30.Why do many business persons continually keep young animals?A. They expect to exchange them for money at the market.B. They intend to increase the number of endangered animals.C. They can rescue more animals and get them out of trouble.D. They want to make sure of having enough of them for photos.31. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Stars can have photos taken with exotic animals free of charge.B. Many people follow stars and have photos taken with exotic animals.C. Media exposure has failed to have any effect on famous people.D. Stars feel sympathetic and concerned about mistreated animals.DA study in the Journal of Consumer Research gets at why most people are so reluctant to leave home and do fun things on their own. In a series of experiments, the University of Maryland s Rebecca Ratner and Georgetown s Rebecca Hamilton showed that when it es to going to the movies or to dinner, individuals consistently think they won t enjoy themselves as much if they aren t going with any of their friends. People decide not to do things all the time just because they re alone, Ratner told The Washington Post. But the thing is, they would probably be happier going out and doing something all by themselves.The researchers found people didn t think they d enjoy themselves is that they were afraid other people would think they didn t have any friends. They thought they d be seen as unusual, antisocial, and strange for going somewhere without friends, but said they wouldn t attach these labels as strongly to someone they witnessed, say, sitting alone at a movie theater. Ratner and Hamilton also ran some experiments to see how they might be able to nudge people to go out by themselves. They realized that there wasnt the same mental block against going to the grocery store alone, and theorized that this was because shopping represented getting something done. Sure enough, people who consider going to a coffee shop on their own thought it sounded more enjoyable when they were told they had reading material and could be productive than when they were going simply to enjoy a drink. Getting people to think of an experience as an acplishment might make them more likely to do it without a friend s pany. In the absence of fellow diners, many of the customers at Eenmaal, the blog Food Republic reported, ended up staring at their phones anyway. These days, when a phone is never farther than an arm s length away, alone just doesn t mean when it used to.32. According to Ratner, what is the surprising finding of their research?A. Whether going out with friends or by oneself is a hard decision.B. People would rather stay al home than do something amusing out.C. There may be some unexpected pleasure when doing things alone.D. People should learn some social skills and enjoy staying with others.33. From the passage, we can infer thatA. most people care much about others opinionsB. most people have emotional or mental problemsC. most people are too busy to plete their tasksD. most people are greatly affected by their friends34. What does the underlined word nudge in the last paragraph mean?A. To persuade people to take a particular action.B. To warn people to be aware of the possible danger.C. To remind people to pay attention to the final result.D. To encourage people to overe various difficulties.35. According to the passage, most people think highly ofA. sense of securityB. sense of belongingsC. sense of responsibilityD. sense of achievement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。How to bee the best version of yourself?.When we step outside, we d prefer it if we were presenting the best version of ourselves to people.
