givingyesterday i started the year of giving, my first day of a year-long journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity. i chose december 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. she was one of the most generous people that i have ever known. she always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.i had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. in the morning i went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. before i knew it, it was noon. i grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. on my way to connecticut, i wondered if i would see someone that i would feel forced to give my first $ 10 to. i was running late and decided to do it afterwards.after the meeting i had about half an hour to find the first person of my year of giving! i decided to check out dupont circle. i had met a guy there named jerry once and thought he would willing accept my $ 10. he wasnt there, but i did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so i approached him. now i had to figure out what i was going to say, i think i said something like, “hi, can i sit down here?” “i would like to know if i could give you $ 10?” he asked me to repeat what i had said, i did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left.i then started walking south where i spotted a man standing by the bus stop on connecticut ave. he appeared to be in his 60s. i dont know what drew me to him, but i thought i would make my second attempt. i was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. then i explained that i was starting a year-long project to give $ 10 to someone every day and that i wanted to give my $ 10 for today to him. the gentleman, i later found out that his name was ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. this was exactly one of the things that i hoped would happen. people would think of others before themselves. 21. the author set the starting date on december 15 to _.a. help the charityb. remember his mother c. make an explosiond. fulfill a wish if his mum 22. in the authors first attempt to give away the money, _.a. he was considered ridiculousb. he hesitated for a

more for others c. he didnt care about moneyd. he wanted to get more money 24. we can refer that the author was inspired by _.a. true friendshipb. his own kindness c. generous donationsd. humans good

writerscwhile you may think that being smart and talented would logically make someone successful in running a business, unfortunately, this is often not the case.this problem starts back in school when the stressful “group projects” are first assigned .the smartest dont want to risk their grade in the class by dividing the work equally and hoping that an average student does his part well. they just take over and do the whole project themselves.and thus begins the smart-people work cycle. the smartest people do just about everything better than most everyone else until it comes to running a business. they are not better. a smart person who cant stand someone else doing a job badly does everything himself. then, he is stuck with the one-man band “job-business” and ends up not being able to grow. however, it is quite interesting and strange that some “slackers” ( a person who is lazy and avoids work) are better suited to be a business leader than the “smart” people.smart and talented people often have a gift for the unusual, complicated or different. they dont like to follow the kiss principle (keep it simple, stupid), which is required to make a business succeed. maybe you think the global presence of mcdonalds complex, but in reality, in the company, every single task is broken down into easy-to-follow steps and everything has been standardized. these successful companies have just a few smart enough people to run the majority of the tasks in a way that cant be screwed up by their average employees. so, being smart or talented isnt going to help you unless you can use those smarts to figure out a way to simplify those tasks that will make a business successful.another issue with the smart people starting businesses is that they often have the most to lose. the smarter you are, the more options you have available to you. you will be able to make a lot of money in various fields and have room in your career to become promoted. this means that when you start a business, you have a lot more to risk than those who are not equally smart. this is often referred to as the “golden handcuffs” dilemma.so, dont be surprised when the person “most likely to succeed” from high school ends up as an employee and it is one average student that finds success in his or her own business.28. in group work, smart students often take over the whole project because they believe _.a. the work is not divided equallyb. they can perform better than others c. the group projects are too stressful d. average students are unwilling to participate 29. mcdonalds is used as an example to prove that _.a. a business calls for smart peoples talent b. average employees can perform complex tasksc. smart people are important for a successful businessd. simplified tasks are required for the success of a business30. the underlined expression in paragraph 5 refers to the situation where smart people _.a. have fewer options in a company b. risk more when starting business c. are unwilling to put money to a business d. can have a good income in many different fields31. what is the best title for the passage?a. potentials for successb. bases for businessc. the ordinary achieve bigger success?d. talent means successful business?dwe know that hugs make us feel easy inside. and this feeling, it turns out, could actually ward off stress and protect r 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 bugs that day.then, the researchers exposed the participants to a common cold virus, and monitored them to assess signs of infection. they found that both perceived social support and more frequent hugs reduced the risk of infection associated with experiencing interpersonal conflict. regardless of whether or not they experienced social conflicts, infected participants with greater perceived social support and more frequent hugs had less severe illness symptoms.“this suggests that being hugged by a trusted person may act as an effective means of conveying support and that increasing the frequency of hugs might be an effective means of reducing the effects of stress,” cohen said. “the apparent protective effect of hugs may result from the physical contact itself or hugging being a behavioral indicator of support and closeness. either way, those who receive more hugs are somewhat more protected from infection.”if you need any more reason to go wrap your arms around someone special, consider this: hugs also lower blood pressure, reduce fearsome around death and dying, improve heart health and decrease feeling of loneliness.32. in paragraph 1, the underlined words “ward off “can be replaced by _.a. produce b. increase c. prevent d. support33. dr. sheldon cohens experiment shows that _.a. hugs can hide serious illness symptomsb. social conflicts can monitor signs of infectionc. social support can reduce the risk of having a coldd. depression and anxiety result from less social support34. the passage aims to convey that _.a. hugs can have protective effectsb. social support can sure diseases c. interpersonal conflicts cause infectionsd. stress can weaken our immune system35. the passage is most likely to be found in _.a. a social science magazineb. a commercial brochure c. a medical reportd. an academic essay 第二节（共5小题:每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出恩给你填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。travel tips that are no longer truewe all love an inside trip, but some of the classic tips for travelers no longer hold true. 36 1. book a plane ticket far in advance to save money.this myth may have been true back in the 1960s, when flights were less common than they are today. back then, the demand for a flight would naturally increase as the date approached, there being few other options. 37 according to recent studies, the best time to buy a domestic ticket was between six and seven weeks before.2. 38 dont ignore the benefits of going straight to the hotel to negotiate (商谈) a good deal on a room. many hotel chains offer rate guarantees and encourage customers to book directly. hotels also frequently have discounts or some offers that third-party websites dont know. apart from this, hotels give the upgrades, not the booking agents. 3. avoid street food. 39 if this means standing up at a cheap street stall (摊位), then follow the crowd. dont sit down at a restaurant and spend four times more, on the simple assumption that its the only safe option. can you see whats going on in the kitchen?4. carry your money in a special pocket or pouch.this is the fastest way to stand out from locals who will have their money in a wallet or purse. only take what you need when you leave your hotel room. 40 a. when in rome, do what the romans do.b. and make sure to put your wallet in a front pocket.c. this is only true if you are buying products that are heavily taxed.d. let yourself relax in a warm room for one or two people in single beds.e. check the updates on these tall tales (说大话) to save cash and add experience to your trip.f. these days, many alternatives for the most popular routes mean that demand stays steady.g. the best hotel prices are on travel websites.第三部分：英语知识运用
