And after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour (绕道). 37 one point, the ant had to cross a crack(裂缝) about 10mm wide. After some 38 thoughts, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked 39 it and picked the feather up on the other side, then continued on its way. I was 40 by the cleverness of this ant. It was only a small insect, lacking in 41 yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome. 42 this ant, like the other two-legged creatures 43 on the earth, also shares human failings.After some time the ant 44 reached its destination - a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its 45 home. It was there that the ant met its 46 . How could that large feather possibly 47 such a small hole? Of course, it couldnt. So the ant, after all this 48 and using great brightness, overcoming problems a1l along the way, just gave up the 49 and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through 50 it began its journey and in the end the feather was 51 more than a burden. Isnt our 52 like that?We worry about our families; we worry about the 53 of money; and we worry about all kinds of things. These are all burdens - the things we pick up along lifes path, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to 54 that at the destination they are 55 and we cant take them with us.36.

Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you looking for happiness today?Many people have 36 a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness. Some have put their heart and effort into their work. Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol. Untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars, exotic vacation homes, and other popular “toys”. Most of their efforts have a 37 in one common fact: people are looking for a(n) 38 source of happiness.Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes many people because they 39 the process and journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “Ill be happy when I get my new promotion.” Or “Ill be happy when I lose that 40 20 pounds.” The list goes on and on. You probably have a few of your own you could 41 if you wanted.This thinking is 42 because it presupposes that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something. In life, we all 43 stimulus and response. Stimulus is when a dog barks at you and bares his teeth. Response is when your heart beats faster, your palms get sweaty and you 44 to run. Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A loving relationship is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief 45 us thinking and feeling: “Ill be happy when ”It has been my finding that actually the 46 is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly 47 . When we are happy, we 48 to have more success in our work. When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships. When we are happy, we more 49 take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is NOT a response 50 , it is a stimulus.Happiness is a conscious 51 we make every day of our lives. For unknown reasons to me, many choose to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most of the time. Happiness is 52 .something that happens to us after we get something we want we usually get things we want 53 we choose to be happy.I have made only one 54 rule for my own happiness: Every day above ground is a GOOD day. 55 , I tend to have a lot of good and happy days continually. 36.

Therefore阅读理解ASeeing something cute actually does bring out aggression in us, according to a paper presented at Society for Personality and Social Psychologys annual meeting in New Orleans last Friday. Researchers found 109 people to look at pictures of animals - cute, funny and neutral photos of fluffy, fluffy puppies. The lucky participants then rated how they felt about the pictures: whether they agreed with the statement like I just cant handle it!, whether they made them want to squeeze something or whether they were suddenly seized with the impulse to say something like grr! The cuter the animal, the more aggressive the response. The studys researchers, led by Rebecca Dyer, a graduate student in psychology at Yale University, dubs the phenomenon cute aggression. We think its about high positive-affect, an approach orientation and almost a sense of lost control, she said. Its so adorable, it drives you crazy. But for the sake of thoroughness, researchers did a second experiment to test whether the aggression was simply verbal, or whether people really did want to act out in response to wide-eyed kittens and cherubic babies. Volunteers were given bubble wrap and told they could pop as much of it as they wanted. When faced with a slideshow of cute animals, people popped 120 bubbles, whereas people watching the funny and neutral slideshows popped 80 and 100 bubbles respectively. Dyers suggests that one reason we have so much pent-up aggression over cute pictures is that seeing something cute, like a baby, drives us to want to take care of it. But we cant reach through a photograph to cuddle it, so we get frustrated - and then aggressive. Another possibility is that its just too much of a good thing - sometimes we portray an onslaught of positive emotion in a negative way, like when youre so happy you cry. Dyer speculates that giving positive emotions a negative spin might help us regulate that high energy. So the next time an aunt moves in to pinch your cheeks, just think - you cant help being cute. And if there are any follow up studies, Id happily volunteer to look at some puppies - kittens and bunnies are within my expertise, too.56. All of the following may make people feel aggressive EXCEPT_.A. funny puppies B. wide-eyed babies C. small bubbles D. adorable bunnies57. What can we learn from the bubble-popping experiment?A. The experiment is designed to make the results more thorough.B. People tend to pop less bubbles upon watching cute animals.C. Volunteers are divided into two groups by researchers.D. The aggressive response of volunteers is simply verbal.58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Dyer?A. People usually feel frustrated and aggressive immediately seeing something cute.B. Seeing something cute probably make us have a desire to look after it.C. People may be so happy to see the cute things that they cant help crying.D. Giving positive emotion in a negative way makes no difference to regulating energy.59. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Aggressive Volunteers B. Dyers Discovery C. Research on Cuteness D.

Im a law student at Harvard renting out my lovely apartment for June-August (Im pretty flexible about dates - we can discuss). Its located less than 5 minutes from the Porter Sq T stop, Shaws, CVS, etc. About 10 min walk from the law school, and about 15 mins from Harvard Square. Really great location for anyone studying/working at Harvard or anywhere on the red line. About: The apartment is a studio, so you wont have any random roommates! It has a full bathroom and updated kitchen. Ive been planning to leave it furnished so itll have a full bed, table/desk, 2 big closets, nightstand and additional storage space if wanted. Its on the first floor, but not a full-basement apartment - it actually gets a ton of light. Biggest perk - I have a new window air conditioner which makes a HUGE difference in the summer. Ive kept it pretty neat and will get it professionally cleaned prior to your move-in so itll be in great condition. Rent is $1200 a month (utilities (including AC) + Internet! all included), plus a security deposit of one months rent. *Looking for a single resident - sorry, no pets.*Please email me if interested and we can set up a time to chat or tour the apartment.

This, a 16-year-old Florida teenager knows all too well.Kiera Wilmot went to school and mixed some household chemicals in a tiny 8-ounce water bottle. It looked like a simple chemistry project but then the top popped off when a small explosion occurred.Wilmot, who is in good standing as a student, said it was an accident. The school principal told a local television station that the teen made a “bad choice” and called her a good kid who has never previously been in trouble. The principal dont think she meant to ever hurt anyone but just wanted to see what would happen when the chemicals mixed and was shocked by what it did. Her mother is shocked too.In another era, Wilmot may have gotten scolded and sent back to class. But in this age of zero-tolerance policies, Wilmot is in deep trouble. She was arrested on Monday morning after the incident and charged with possession and discharge of a weapon on school property and discharging a destructive device.In turn, she was expelled and will finish her high school years in an expulsion program.Tragically, this young woman, all because of what appears to have been misguided curiosity, now faces expulsion and felony charges, which could negatively impact her future opportunities and alter the course of her life.Zero-tolerance policies in schools began in 1994 after Congress required states to adopt laws that guaranteed one-year expulsions for students who brought firearms to school. In order for states to receive federal funding, leaders had to adopt these laws. All 50 states did so.The criminal justice paradigm, under which zero tolerance operates, strips educators of decision-making powers and discretion. It forces otherwise caring and thinking adults to respond to incidents in unthinking and often destructive ways.Honor students have often been expelled or suspended for such infractions as having possession of a bottle of soda mixed with a few drops of alcohol or having pain relievers such as Midol and Tylenol, or even cough drops. Other students have ended up in serious trouble for bringing antiques that contain tiny knives to school for show and tell.Some schools, however, have started to realize the negative effects of such harsh discipline for non-violent infractions. Policies, in turn, are changing.There must be a way for schools to address violations of school policies that do not have the harmful effects of criminalizing students. Students who have been expelled and charged with felonies have a much greater likelihood of receiving less education going forward, and may also have more encounters with the criminal justice system.63. What did Wilmot do to invite herself trouble?A. She did a chemistry project.B. She took some chemicals to school.C. She went to school with mixed chemicals and exploded her school.D. She went to school with mixed chemicals, which exploded unexpectedly.64. What does the author think about the penalty the girl received? A. Its unfair. B. Its justice. C. Its a tragedy D. Its exciting.65. What does the word “it” in paragraph 3 mean?A. the water bottle B. the behavior of mixing chemicals C. a bad choice D. local television station66. What is the background of the adopting of the Zero-tolerance policy?A. It has something to do with the receiving of federal funding. B. There was too much cheating in schools.C. There were too many criminal cases in schools. D. Educators in schools wanted to reduce their workload. DNew York (CNN) - An int
