Among the projects, the first full-chain mission, the Jakarta to Bandung high-speed railway in Indonesia, which includes technology, design, construction, equipment manufacture, supply of resources, operations management and staff training, has been granted(允许，授予) a construction permit and work is proceeding smoothly. “Chinas railways have established a prehensive and advanced technology system, which is able to provide overseas customers with solutions from many different perspectives, including financing, construction, operations, and research and development,” said Yang Zhongmin, the CRCs deputy chief engineer, who added that Chinas railway system is petitive in terms of technology and economy of use. According to Yang, the nations railway equipment and infrastructure (基础设施) service businesses have entered markets in Asia, Europe, North America and Africa. Last year, Joko Widodo, president of Indonesia, and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, rode Chinese-made bullet trains.Yang Hao, a professor of rail transportation management at Beijing Jiaotong University, said China has a major advantage in that it is able to export a full range of railway technology: “For example, it is inconvenient to import the technology for the signaling system from one country and civil engineering technology from another.” 28.

You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic（神经质的）than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive(努力) to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mothers personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when were adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isnt destiny(定数), and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isnt just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.32. According to the author, outgoing and sympathetic people _. A. have a good understanding of evolution. B. are more likely to recover from hardship. C. are probably more active and neurotic. D. generally appear more resourceful.33. What finding of the study might be out of our expectation? A. Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times. B. Being self-discipline makes no difference to longevity. C. Readiness to accept new ideas offers more possibility to enjoy longevity. D. Helpful people can live a relatively long life.34. What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show? A. Mothers anxiety may affect their childrens life spans. B. People with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die at a young age. C. Childrens personality characteristics are always shaped by their mothers. D. Mothers may have a longer influence on children than fathers.35. What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies? A. A persons lifestyle is largely related to his or her health. B. Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short ones life span. C. Personalityplaysadecisive and significantroleinhowhealthyoneis. D.A mixture of mental and physical health produces longevity.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。 Everyone needs to know how to be nice to their own pets!
