us a renewed sense of faith in humanity The World Giving Index 2014 examined whether people donated money to a charity volunteered their time to an organization or offered assistance to someone they didn t know who needed help About 2 3 billion people worldwide reported helping a stranger over the course of one month last year and over 1 4 billion donated money to charitable causes in 2013 It may not be surprising that the United States one of the wealthiest countries in the world came on top as the most generous nation What is astonishing is that the accolade 荣誉 was shared with Myanmar a nation ranking 151 spots lower than the U s on the GDP per capita scale In fact the report found that a nation s economic prosperity doesn t automatically 第 5 页 共 12 页 translate to generosity Only five of the countries in this year s World Giving Index Top 20 are members of the G20 a forum of the world s largest economies Less wealthy places like Sri Lanka and Trinidad and Tobago featured in the top 10 Other factors like following a religious philosophy or responding to a natural disaster were found to be major drivers of donations Myanmar earned its top place mainly due to the fact that nearly all of the respondents 91 donated money to charity a practice which is rooted in the country s Theravada Buddhist community Another high ranking country with a large population of the followers of that religion is Sri Lanka which ranked ninth in the Index Malaysia s high jump in the ranking from 71st place to 7th was attributed to the outpouring of the humanitarian aid after the destructive Typhoon Haiyan hit the neighboring Philippines In Africa Kenya has moved 18 places up this year ranking 15th in the global index It s the most charitable country in the continent ahead of larger economies like Nigeria which is in the 21st place and South Africa with rank 34th Africans are also three times more likely to extend a helping hand to strangers than donate money or volunteer which seems to show that are more likely to show their generosity through community support than formalized channels From a global perspective the report concludes that the diverse nature of the top giving countries signals that regardless of geography or culture people universally appear to respond to those in need 58 Which of the following is NOT the factor contributing to people s generosity A A nation s economic prosperity B A religious philosophy C The response to a natural disaster D The requirement of the government 59 The author may agree with the following versions EXCEPT that A Kenya is the most charitable country in the continent of Africa B Africans tend to show their generosity through formalized channels C Malaysia ranks higher this year due to its abunsant aid to Philippines D many people in Myanmar and Sri Lanka share the same religious philosophy 60 Which of the following shows the correct order of the countries in the World Giving Index A Kenya Tobago Nigeria Myanmar B America Tobago Nigeria Trinidad C Myanmar Malaysia Kenya Nigeria D Sri Lanka Kenya South Africa Trinidad 61 The passage mainly tells us that A America took the lead in charitable giving B People have more faith in humanity nowadays C most people are willing to lend a hard when necessary D Some poor countries are more likely to show their generosity C Biologists believe that love is fundamentally a biological rather than a cultural construct because the capacity for love is found in all human cultures and similar 第 6 页 共 12 页 behavior is found in some other animals In humans the purpose of all the desire is to focus attention on the raising of offspring Children demand an unusual amount of parenting and two parents are better than one Love is a signal that both partners are committed and makes it more likely that this commitment will continue as long as necessary for children to reach independence But what does science have to say about the notion of love at first sight In recent years the ability to watch the brain in action has offered a wealth of insight into the mechanics of love Researchers have shown that when a person falls in love a dozen different part of brain work together to release chemicals that trigger feelings of euphoria bonding and excitement It has also been shown that the unconditional love between a mother and a child is associated with activity in different regions of the brain from those associated with pair bonding love Passionate love is rooted in the reward circuitry of the brain the same area that is active when humans feel a rush from cocaine In fact the desire motivations and withdrawals involved in love have a great deal in common with addiction Its most intense forms tend to be associated with the early stages of a relationship which then give way to a calmer attachment form of love one feels with a long term partner What all this means is that one special person can become chemically rewarding to the brain of another Love at first sight then is only possible if the mechanism for generating long term attachment can be triggered quickly There are signs that it can be One line of evidence is that people are able to decide within a second how attractive they find another person This decision appears to be related to facial attractiveness although men may favor women with waist to hip ratio of 0 7 no matter what their overall weight is This ratio may indicate a woman s reproductive health Another piece of evidence comes from work by a psychologist at Ben Gurion University who found in a survey that a small percentage 11 of people in long term relationships said that they began with love at first sight In other words in some couples the initial favorable impressions of attractiveness triggered love which sustained a lengthy bond It is also clear that some couples need to form their bonds over a longer period and popular culture tells many tales of friends who become lovers One might also assume that if a person is looking for a partner with traits that cannot be quantified instantly such as compassion intellect or a good sense of humor then it would be hard to form a relationship on the basis of love at first sight Those more concerned with visual appearances though might find this easier So it appears that love at first sight exists but is not a very common basis for long term relationships 62 When a person falls in love A he feels as if he were addicted to cocaine B he will be committed to the beloved as long as necessary C he will experience complex feelings brought on by different regions of his brain D he will experience a calmer attachment form of love before he feels the extreme love 第 7 页 共 12 页 63 We can infer from the passage that A pair bonding love comes from a long stable friendship B the mechanism for creating long term attachment ensures love at first sight C it is impossible for those ordinary looking people to fall in love at first sight D men may be attracted by a girl whose figure suggests her admirable reproductive capacity 64 The underlined word traits in the last paragraph probably means A characteristics B something typical in your temper C particular quantities in your personality D attitudes that show your moral standards 65 Which of the following may be the best title of the passage A The stages of passionate love B The science of love at first sight C The biological construct of pair bonding D The mechanism for generating long term love D Ernest Hemingway was not only a commanding figure in 20th century literature but was also a pack rat He saved even his old passports and used bullfight tickets leaving behind one of the longest paper trails of any author Ernest Hemingway Between Two Wars which opens on Friday at the Morgan Library Museum is the first major museum exhibition devoted to Hemingway and his work The largest and most interesting section focuses on the 20s Hemingway s Paris years and reveals a writer we might have been in danger of forgetting Hemingway before he became Hemingway The exhibition does not fail to include pictures of the bearded manly Hem He s shown posing with some kudu he has just shot in Africa and on the bridge of his beloved fishing boat the Pilar with Carlos Guti rrez the fisherman who became the model for The Old Man and the Sea But the first photo the viewer sees is a big blowup of a handsome clean shaven 19 year old standing on crutches This is from the summer of 1918 when Hemingway was recovering from wounds at the Red Cross hospital in Milan and trying to turn his wartime experiences into fiction The evidence at this exhibition suggests that in the early days he often wrote in pencil mostly in cheap notebooks but sometimes on whatever paper came to hand The first draft of the short story Soldier s Home was written on sheets he appeared to have snatched from a telegraph office The impression you get is of a young writer seized by inspiration and sometimes barreling ahead without an entirely clear sense of where he is going F Scott Fitzgerald some of whose letters with Hemingway is also on view famously urged him to cut the first two chapters of The Sun Also Rises complaining about the elephantine facetiousness of the beginning and Hemingway obliged getting rid of a clunky opening that now seems almost met
