You open the pages knowing a little bit about it, maybe from the back or from a blurb（宣传信息）on the front. But who 37 , right? Those bits and pieces arent always right. Sometimes people 38 themselves as one thing and then when you get deep into it you realize that theyre something completely different. Either there was some good marketing 39 to a terrible book, or the story was only explained in a(n) 40 way and once you reach the middle of the book, you realize theres so much more to this book than anyone could ever have told you.You start off slow. The story is beginning to 41 . Youre unsure. Its a big commitment reading this tome(巨著). Maybe this book wont be that great but youll feel 42 about putting it down. Maybe itll be so awful youll set it down immediately and never pick it up again. Or maybe youll come back to it some night, drunk or lonelyneeding something to 43 the time, but it wont be any better than it was when you first started reading it.Maybe youre 44 . Youve read tons of books before. Maybe youve taken some time off from reading because the last few books you read just werent 45 it. Do they even write new, great works of literature anymore? Maybe its a once in a lifetime feeling and youre never going to find it again.Or something 46 could happen. Maybe this will become your new favorite book. Theres always a possibility, right? Thats the 47 of risk. You 48 your time and your brain power in the words and what you get back is a new understanding and pure wonder. How could someone possibly know you like this? Some stranger, some author, some character. Its like theyre seeing inside your 49 . This book existed inside some book store, on a shelf, maybe handled by other people and really it was just 50 for you to pick it up. It was waiting to speak to you. To say, “You are not 51 .”You just want more of the story. You want to keep reading, maybe everything this author has ever 52 . You wish it would never end. The closer it gets to the smaller side of the pages, the 53 .you read, wanting to savor(品味) it all. This book is now one of your favorites forever. You will always wish you could go back to 54 having read it and pick it up fresh again, but also you know youre better for having this close, inside you, 55 your heart and mind.Reading a book is just like falling in love. Once you get in deep enough, you know you could never put this book down.36. A. contributeB. commitC. subscribe D. react37. A. tellsB. caresC. writesD. knows 38.

If wed had three games up in the north, it would have been difficult.Following Hodgsons initial comments, the mayor of Manaus, Arthur Virgilio, said England would not be welcome in the city.

A new study by three Harvard researchers suggests a novel answer: Shortly after you hire new workers, give them a raise.Previous research has shown that paying people more than they expect may elicit reciprocity(相互作用) in the form of greater productivity, notes Deepak Malhotra, a Harvard business-administration professor who worked on the study. What he and his colleagues found, however, was that the connection between more pay and extra effort depends on presenting the increase as a giftthat is, as something youve chosen to do purely as a nice gesture, with no strings attached.Malhotra and his team studied 267 people hired by oDesk, a global online network of freelancers, to do a one-time data-entry project for four hours. All of the new hires were people in developing countries, for whom hourly wages of $3 and $4 were higher than what they had been making in previous jobs.The researchers split the group up into three equal parts. One group was told they would earn $3 an hour. A second group was initially hired at $3 an hour but, before they started working, they got a surprise: The budget for the project had expanded unexpectedly, they were told, and they would now be paid $4 an hour. The third group was offered $4 an hour from the start and given no increase.Even though the second and third groups were eventually paid the same amount, the second group worked harder and produced moreabout 20% morethan either of the other two. People in the second group also showed the most stamina, maintaining their focus all the way through the assigned task and performing especially well toward the end of the four hours. Interestingly, the more experienced employees in the high-performing group were the most productive of all, apparently because their previous work experience led them to appreciate the rarity of an unexpected raise.Contrary to conventional wisdom, Malhotra points out that higher pay, in and of itself, didnt promote productivity: People who made $4 an hour from the beginning worked no harder than those who were hired at $3 and were then paid $3.To get the most impact from their pay plans, he adds, companies might consider not only what to pay new hires, but when to pay it.The key thing is how you present the reason for an increase, he says. Doling out extra money could promote productivity most if you make it clear that the pay raise is something youre choosing to do just because you can. Our theory is that people will reciprocate. If you do something nice, theyll do something nice back. 59. Which of the following is true about the research?A. None of the participants earned more than $4 an hour in previous jobs. B. 89 of the participants got a $1 wage raise for their high productivity.C. It was so important that the budget for it was increased in the process.D. Stamina shown in it was positively related to the amount of money paid.60. What does the underlined word “stamina” most probably mean? A. The quality of being intelligent or clever.B. The quality of doing something difficult or dangerous.C. The physical or mental energy needed to do a tiring activity for a long time. D. A particular method of doing an activity, usually involving practical skills.61. Why did the second group produce more than the other two groups? A. Because they thought they were better paid than the other groups. B. Because they were experienced employees from developing countries. C. Because an unexpected raise reminded them of their previous work. D. Because they felt they were nicely treated and tried best to repay it.62. What can we infer from this passage?A. No pains, no gains.B. It matters not what we give but how.C. Honesty is the best policy.D. Actions speak louder than words. CRecently, an almost literal case of lifeboat ethics(伦理) occurred. On Aug. 4, Graham and Sheryl Anley, while boating off the coast of South Africa, hit a rock. As the boat threatened to sink the husband got off, but his wife was trapped in the boat. Instead of freeing his wife and getting her to shore, Graham grabbed Rosie, their pet dog. With Rosie safe and sound, Graham returned for Sheryl. All are doing fine.Its a great story, but it doesnt strike me as especially newsworthy. News is supposed to be about something fairly unique, and recent research suggests that, in the right circumstances, lots of people also would have grabbed their Rosie first.We have strange relationships with our pets. We lavish our pets with adoration and better health care than billions of people receive. We speak to pets with the same high-pitched voices that we use for babies. As an extreme example of our feelings about pets, the Nazis had strict laws that guaranteed the humane treatment of the pets of Jews being shipped to death camps.A recent paper by George Regents University demonstrates this human involvement with pets to an astonishing extent. Participants in the study were told a situation in which a bus is out of control, bearing down on a dog and a human. Which do you save? With responses from more than 500 people, the answer was that it depended: What kind of human and what kind of dog?Everyone would save a brother, grandparent or close friend rather than a strange dog. But when people considered their own dog versus people less connected with thema distant cousin or a hometown strangervotes in favor of saving the dog came rolling in. And an astonishing 40% of respondents, including 46% of women, voted to save their dog over a foreign tourist. What does a finding like this mean? First, that your odds arent so good if you find yourself in another country with a bus bearing down on you and a cute dog. But it also points to something deeper: our unprecedented(史无前例的) attitude toward animals, which got its start with the birth of humane societies in the 19th century.We prison people who abuse animals, put ourselves in harms way in boats between whales and whalers and show sympathy to Bam
