very important to me. my every waking hour was consumed by the project and although i imagined that i would feel happy after completing parts of the project, i was confused to find that instead, i was feeling rather depressed. i tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. i had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to_no_avail. it was only when i turned to meditation（沉思）for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!the very next day, i grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. within a couple of minutes i felt alive again. to be honest, i felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing im singing in the rain, a song i used to sing when i was a child. i think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.if you feel a little low in spirits and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.36the author felt depressed because she .acouldnt consume her waking hours bhad not seen a film for a long timechad not finished her work

has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. for some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia（学术界）outweigh any financial considerations.helen lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in abbott laboratories to a medical department at the university of cambridge. her main reason for returning to academia midcareer was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and lees is one of them.the impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. guy grant, now a research associate at the unilever centre for molecular informatics at the university of cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical（制药的）company before returning to university as a post doctoral researcher. he took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition（转变）to academia more attractive, according to lee. industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. they are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development.“only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. so someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”41the underlined word “deterrent” most probably refers to something that “ ”.akeeps someone from taking action bhelps to move the trafficcattracts peoples attention dbrings someone a financial burden42what was helen lees major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?aflexible work hoursbmore freedom to choose research questionscher preference for the lifestyle on campusdprospects of academic accomplishments43what contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in a university?aincrease its graduates competitiveness in the job market.bdevelop its students potential in

truth, no matter how painful it might be. lying, we were taught, wasnt something you could get away with. like pinocchios nose, it would be apparent to others.children of course need clear rules to learn the difference between right and wrong. however, as we get older, the truth becomes more nuancedand there are times when a little white lie or the absence of some key facts might be appropriate. the problem is that all of us have different standards for when, why, and how we shade the truth. these divergent “shades of gray”then cause miscommunication, breakdowns of trust, and other dysfunctional（机能失调的）behaviors.from my experience, there are three fundamental concerns that cause people to shade the truth, either consciously or not. being aware of these “lying triggers”can sometimes help to improve communication and reduce the feelings of mistrust.impact of the truth on yourselfits human nature to want people to think well of us, particularly those who have influence over our lives and careers. at the same time we all make mistakes, so we create justifications and excusesmany of which are at best halftruths. i recall a manager whose key project was behind schedule, largely due to his lack of discipline and followup. yet when asked why the project was lagging, he blamed a snowstorm（from six months previously）for slowing down the work.impact of the truth on othersone way to gain others approval is to avoid pointing out things that may damage their selfimage. as a result, many people withhold some or all of their true thoughts about others. for example, a senior executive complained to me recently that one of his managers never gave her people negative criticism during performance reviews. to justify that behavior, she said that it was better to reinforce positive behaviors rather than point out weaknessesa strategy that also happened to make her popular with her team.impact of the truth on business successto be successful, almost every organization needs to sellbe it a product, a service, a story, or a promise. but much of that selling is done without truthful disclosure of what it will take to fulfill the sale. thats why salespeople will often take an order without revealing to the customer that there may be supply problems. showing customers or partners whats truly behind the curtain could undermine credibility and threaten the deal. the wiser course in many cases is to limit the truth and figure out how to “deliver”it later.44according to the passage, the author was taught to in childhood.astand pain bravely btell white liescget away with lying dtell the truth45what the author really wants to tell us in paragraph 4 is that .aits human nature to tell liesbthe manager should have a sense of disciplinecthe snowstorm was the real causedpeople tend to tell halftruths for their mistakes46the senior executive mentioned in paragraph 5 was convinced that .athe manager was doing harm to her teambpositive behaviors should be stressedcthe manager could be popular in any companydweaknesses shouldnt be included in performance reviews47which of the following statements agrees with the authors view?apeople should insist on absolute truth all the time.bdifferent standards for acceptable lies lead to problems.corganizations need to cheat consumers to gain success.dpeople could hardly make sure the right time to shade the truth.第二节：下面文章中有4处（第4851题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（a、b、c、d）中选出最符合各段意思的小标题。alice, george, dick and hilary each want to visit a place of interest. read the following descriptions and help them
