Then the children 40 up to be headstrong adults, and we lost the coach to cancer. So I spent some years 41_in my “family museum” with four bedrooms, five sets of dishes, a 42 basketball court and a whole lot of great memories. During those years, to my 43 , I discovered that “alone” can also be an “oh my” kind of place. With an abundance of blessings, I was humbled, grateful and happy. I had no need, no plans to 44 it.My life went on 45 until one day, I met a good man who makes me laugh and slow down to watch sunsetsIm living a new 46 of my life. I fell in love again. I remarried and moved with my new husband to the 47 place on Earth I ever dreamed Id call home: the desert outside Las Vegas. Perhaps youre wondering what sort of woman grows up in the Bible Belt, raises her children in Paradise, and 48 on the outskirts of Sin City? That would be me, a woman who has tried, no matter what happened, to 49 her heart wherever it may lead. Growing up, if I was 50 , my grandma would say: “Honey, follow your heart. Its a good heart. Trust it.”I had no idea what she meant, not 51 today. But in Sunday school, I learned that the heart is a container for lovethe love of God, the love of family and friends, the love of all that we hold dearand that it speaks to us with the voice of love, always in a whisper. 52 , I learned to listen for that whisper. Its hard to hear it sometimes over other voiceslogic, anger, envy, jealousy, insecurity and such. They dont whisper. They 53 . But listen closely. You can spot it.So why do I feel lucky? Here I am in an “oh my” kind of place on an “oh my” kind of day. I followed my heart from the mountains to the coast to the desert. I miss family and friends and mountains and beaches and 54 , especially fall. But I visit them often, if only in mind.Yesterday is 55_. Tomorrows a dream. All we have is this one, sweet, lovely “here and now.” Heres wishing for all of us an “oh my” kind of life.36. A. thoughtB. musicC. wine D. background37. A. argued B. meantC. ignoredD. stressed 38.

Its all-round development leaves no room to be polished.D. Focusing it closely on the nation makes it well-received.57. Which column of the homepage can you probably find this passage from?A. About us B. Magazine Review C. Licensing D. Submission Guidelines B Some of the old worries about artificial intelligence were closely linked to the question of whether computers could think. The first massive electronic computers, capable of rapid calculation and little or no creative activity, were soon dubbed(取绰号) “electronic brains”. A reaction to this terminology quickly followed, computers were called “high speed idiots”, an effort to protect human vanity(虚荣心) . But not everyone realized the implications of the high-speed idiot tag. It has not been pointed out enough that even the human idiot is one of the most intelligent life forms on earth. If the early computers were even that intelligent, it was already a remarkable state of affairs. One consequence of speculation(推测) about the possibility of computer thought was that we were forced to examine with new care the idea of thought in general. It soon became clear that we were not sure what we meant by such terms as thought and thinking. We tend to assume that human beings think, some more than others, though we often call people thoughtless or unthinking. Dreams cause a problem, partly because they usually happen outside our control. They are obviously some type of mental experience, but are they a type of thinking? And the question of nonhuman life forms adds further problems. Many of us would maintain that some of the higher animals-dogs, cats, apes, and so on - are capable of at least basic thought, but what about fish and insects? If thinking is demonstrated by evident electrical activity in the brain, then many species are capable of thought. Once we have formulated clear ideas on what thought is in biological creatures, it will be easier to discuss the question of thought in artifacts(人工制品). And what is true of thought is also true of the many other mental processes. One of the immense benefits of a research is that we are being forced to scrutinize(仔细研究), with new rigor, the working of the human mind. It is already clear that machines have superior mental abilities to many life forms. No fern(蕨类) or oak tree can play chess as well as even the simplest digital computer, nor can frogs weld(焊) car bodies as well as robots. It seems that, viewed in terms of intellect, the computer should be set well above plants and most animals. Only the higher animals can compete with computers with regard to intellect and even then with diminishing success.58. Why was “Electronic brains” changed to “high speed idiots”? A. People felt threatened. B. People wanted to show their superiority in a superficial way. C. People thought that even human idiots are cleverer than computers. D. People didnt realize the implications of the high-speed idiot tag.59. What was one result of speculating whether computers could think?A. We had to figure out how human brain works.B. We had to reconsider what thought mean in general.C. We had to get mental processes under control.D. We had to determine if thinking can be demonstrated. 60. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning the fern and the oak tree? A. Digital computers are the most intelligent in the world. B. Human beings are the most intelligent in the world. C. Lower animals are unable to think like human beings. D. Some creatures are inferior to computers in mental abilities.CWe know that hugs make us feel easy inside. And this feeling, it turns out, could actually ward off stress and protect the immune (免疫) system, according to a new research from Carnegie Mellon University.Its a well-known fact that stress can weaken the immune system. In this study, the researchers sought to determine whether hugs-like social support more broadly -could protect individuals from the increased sensitivity to illness brought on by the particular stress that come with interpersonal conflict.“We know that people experiencing ongoing conflicts with others are less able to fight off cold viruses. We also know that people who report having social support are partly protected from the effects of stress on psychological states, such as depression and anxiety, “the studys lead author, psychologist Dr. Sheldon Cohen , said in a statement. “We tested whether awareness of social support is equally effective in protecting us from sensitivity to infection caused by stress and also whether receiving hugs might partially account for those feeling of support and thus protect a person against infection.”In the experiment , over 400 healthy adults filled out a questionnaire about their perceived (感知) social support and also participated in a nightly phone interview for two weeks . They were asked the frequency they engaged in interpersonal conflicts and received hugs that day
