(18 marks)last year i was on a team travelling in a foreign country with some friends and some strangers. we were all given 36 to perform, such as cleaning and cooking. i was in the team serving mealson the first day i tried hard to 37 everyone, but it was hard to do so. some people liked it when you served them fast and some people preferred it slow; some even didnt know what i was serving on their plates as they didnt speak english. if they werent served in the way they wanted, some grew 38 .so the next day, i tried a different way. i learned how to say “would you like” in several languages and tried to make sure that they understood me. so when people 39 to me, i smiled at them and said would you like some 40 ? whether they said yes or no, i just 41 backi even said something personal to them, like their beautiful hats or cool sunglasses. to be honest, i wasnt sure if i was making them smile, or just 42 them! i was so enthusiastic that we actually ran out of beans before everyone got servedthen we 43 to do other things for people that werent our duty too, like cleaning up, or washing dishes when everyone was supposed to do their ownat first people were 44 when we did this, then they realized that they were getting a favour without giving anything in return and they would be 45 after a few days, whenever i saw people i had served they smiled and thanked me, saying how it had 46 their day and that we hadnt just put food on their plates. we were even awarded as the best servers at the end! so sometimes a smile or a 47 attitude makes all the difference!36achances

headquarters on thursday. fortune had 30 minutes to try them both out. while apple clearly adjusted last years models- one much more than the other- instead of entirely remaking them, the latest ipads seemingly uphold companys reputation for making quality products.ipad air 2:the new 9.7-inch tablet looks a lot like last years model, but manages to be 18% slimmer- a design that makes the ipad air 2

down to the size, processor and camera, so much so that handling the device gave me dj vu(似曾相识). compared to the air 2, its noticeably thicker, runs slower and lacks the air 2s glare-resistant screen. its still a solid. affordable tablet- it just doesnt offer much thats new.61 which isnt the description of the ipad air 2? a. the ipad air 2 is the thinnest tablet on the marketthe ipad air 2s new

leads a team who has studied the problem since the 1980s. back then, people knew little about what and how well people could smell. doctors simply lacked a tool to measure peoples scent detection. so doty developed a smell test, based on 40 different cards. each card carries a different odor( 气味). a persons score equals the total number of correctly identified scents. the cards allow doctors to measure how many scents people can detect and thus determine whether they lose the sense of smell. today, this test is used by laboratories around the world. in the project, dotys team used the cards to test smokers. the test showed that the more cigarettes people smoked, the poorer their ability to identify chocolate, rubber, apple and other scents. in another, doty tested 99 people who breathed in smoke and dust. he found their sense of smell was generally not as sensitive as that of other people. the study showed certain pollutants can harm our sense of smell. actually, the major interest for doty is the link between the sense of smell and parkinsons disease, which strikes millions of mostly older people worldwide. it causes shaking in patients and makes it difficult for them to walk, talk, eat and smell. so a smell test could help diagnose the disease much sooner than usual. that could give patients access to early treatment. dotys research team is also working with patients who have begun taking medication for parkinsons disease. they give smell tests to the patients and scan their brains, using an imaging device called spect. “so far, the smell tests are proving to be more sensitive than the brain scans, ”doty says. the findings suggest it may be possible for doctors to use inexpensive smell tests to diagnose parkinsons disease even before the disease shows up in far more expensive brain scans. while the research is under preparation, doty says, it has a bright future.66. the 40 different cards test was developed by doty in order to_. a. guide the doctors to help the older people better. b. measure peoples ability to identify scents. c. help pe
