Secrets of Web Travel SitesBooking a trip on an online travel site is convenient，but comes with its own set of problems1They whos on a Mac and whos on a PC and whos going to spend moreLast year，US travel research company Orbitz tracked peoples online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC usersOn average，Mac users lay out US$2030 more per night on hotels and go for more starsaccording to the Wall Street JournalAs a result，onlinetravel sites show these users more expensive travel options firstTo avoid inadvertently paying more，sort results by price2Their software doesnt always hook up to the hotels systemA guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywherebut the risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with thirdparty providersThe middlemans software isnt immune to system errors，so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking was processed3Dont be fooled by packages：Often，theyre lowend items grouped togetherEver notice how travel sites recommend a hotel，a rental car，and tour package all in one click？These deals usually feature travel that no one wants，like flights with multiple layoversCheck the fine print4You could miss out on loyalty pointsThirdparty providers can get between you and frequent flyer miles or pointsMany hotel loyalty programmes dont recognise external sites，others award only minimum points and exclude special offers，like double points on hotel stays5Once your trip is purchased，youre on your ownAn online travel agency cant provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is cancelled or a room is substandardBasically，when you arrive at the airport or hotel，youre just another client who booked at the lowest rate56Which ofthe following is TRUE？AThirdparty providers can ensure your reservationBMac users are likely to spend more money than PC usersCAn online travel agency functions the same as an agentDPackages usually provide travelers with satisfactory programmes57Whats the purpose of the passage？ATo encourage readers to book a trip on an online travel siteBTo make an advertisement about several travel sites onlineCTo convince readers not to book a trip on an online travel siteDTo warn readers of some problems with booking trips online58Want to add some hours to your day？Ok，you probably cant change the fabric of timeBut a new study suggests that the way you feel about your goal can change your concept of time and that some simple strategies could make you feel less rushedIn a series of experiments，Jordan Etkin，a professor of marketing at Duke，and her coauthors，Loannis Evangelidis and Jennifer Aaker，looked at what happens when people see their goals as conflicting with one anotherIn one，they asked some participants to list two of their goals that they felt were in conflict，and others simply to list two of their goalsThose who were forced to think about conflicting aims felt more time pressure than those who werentIn another experiment，the researchers gave participants a similar prompt regarding goal conflict，but this time measured their anxiety levels as well as their attitudes toward timeThey found that participants who thought about conflicting goals had more anxiety than those who didnt，and that this，in turn，led to feelings of being short on timeStress and anxiety and time pressure are closely linked concepts，DEtkin explainedWhen we feel more stress and anxiety in relation to our personal goals，that manifests as a sense of having less timeTechnological advances that allow people to do lots of things at once may increase the feeling of goal conflict，she saidI think the easier it is for us to try to deal with a lot of these things at the same time，She saidthe more opportunity there is for us to feel this conflict between our goalsShe isnt the first to suggest that actual busyness isnt the only thing that can make us Feel busy At the Atlantic，Derek Thompson wrote thatas a country，were working less than we did in the 1960s and 1980sHe offered a number of possible reasons some Americans still feel so overworked，includingthe fluidness ffl） of work and leisureAs he put it：The idea that work begins and ends at the office is wrongOn the one hand，flexibility is nice，On the other，mixing work and leisure together creates an alwayson expectation that makes it hard for whitecollar workers to escape the shadow of work responsibilitiesAnd Brigid Schulte writes in her 2014 book Overwhelmed：How to Work，Love，and Play When No One Has the Time that some researchers believetime has no sharp edgesWhat often matters more than the activity were doing at a moment in time，they have found，is how we feel about itOur concept of time is indeed，our realityFortunately，DrEtkin and her team did find ways of making us feel better about timeor，at least，of reducing the negative influence of goal conflictWhen participants performed a breathing exercise that reduced their anxiety，the impact of such conflict o n their perception of time was less pronouncedReframing anxiety as excitement （by reading the phraseI am excited!aloud several times） had a similar effectBreathing and reframing may not solve everyones time problemsMsSchulte writes that some Americans are indeed working more than they used toShe cites the work of the sociologists Michael Hout and C aroline Hanley，who havefound that working parents combined put in 13 more hours a week on the job in 2000 than they did in 1970Thats 676 hours of additionally paid work a year for a familyAnd thats on top of all the unpaid hours spent caring for children and keeping the house togetherSometimes，we may feel short on time because we actually areHowever，DrEtkin believes her findings suggest we mayhave the ability to influence our experience of time more than we think we doWere all going to have times in our lives when our goals seem to be in more conflict than others，she saidBut with techniques like the ones her team tested，we really can help ourselves feel like we have more time58What makes people feel rushed today？AGoal conflictBHigh pressureCToo much expectationDLack of exercise59Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？AMost people are having less work to do nowadaysBPeople under a lot of stress have a better sense of timeCTechnological advances allow people to feel less stressedDThe flexibility of work increases whitecollar workerspressure60The underlined sentenceOur concept of time is，indeed，our realitymeansAwe should make full use of time Bwe value time more than the way we liveCwe can feel better about time if we want toDwe dont have the time to enjoy life in reality61Over the years the unthinkable has become thinkable and today we sense we are close to being able to alter human heredity（遗传）These were the words of David Baltimore of the California Institute of Technology，on December 1st，when he opened a threeday meeting in Washington to discuss the morality and use of human gene editingDr Baltimore is an old hand at these sorts of discussions，for he was also a participant in the Asilomar conference，in 1975，which brought scientists together to discuss a safe way of using the thennew tcchnology of recombinant DNA，and whose recommendations influenced a generation of biotechnology researchersFour decades on，the need for a similar sort of chinwag has arisenThe International Summit on Human Gene Editing has been held by the national scientific academies of three countriesAmerica，Britain and ChinaThey are particularly concerned about whether gene editing should be used to make heritable changes to the human germ line，something Dr Baltimore described as a deep and troubling questionLike those of Asilomar，the conclusions of this meeting will not be bindingBut the hope is that，again like Asilomar，a mixture of common sense and peer pressure will create a world in which scientists are trusted to regulate themselves，rather than having politicians and civil servants do it for themThe meeting is being held against a backdrop of rapid scientific advance，Since 2012 research into a new，easytouse editing tool called CRISPRCas9 has blossomedThis technique involves a piece of RNA （a chemical messenger，which can be used to recognise a target section of DNA） and an enzyme （酶） called a nuclease that can snip unwanted genes out and paste new ones inPublic interest was aroused in April，when Chinese scientists announced they had edited genes in nonviable （ 无活力的） human embryos，and again in November when British researchers said they had successfully treated a oneyearold girl who had leukaemia （ 白血病），using geneedited TcellsTcells are part of the immune system that attack，among other things，tumour cellsThe researchers altered Tcells from a healthy donor to encourage them to recognise and kill the patients cancer，to make them immune to her leukaemia drug，and to ensure they did not attack her healthy cellsIn another recent development，a firm called Edit as Medicine，which is based in Cambridge，Massachusetts，has said it hopes，in 2017，to start human clinical trials of CRISPRCas9 as a treatment for a ra
