In product design, imagining users feelings leads to more original outcomesResearchers find that in a new product design, connecting with users heart, rather than their head, can lead to more original and creative outcomes.

It not only helps product designers build a better product, but is also them create more innovative products. The implications of the findings extend to everyday consumers, who now play a role in shaping companies design.

That suggest that these designers may _54_ imagining users feelings. In this way, designers can develop products the could _55_ to the masses.

(A)When she was ten years old, Isadora Duncan dropped out of school to teach people dance. If that job was le to any other ten-year-old, it would have turned out frustrating, difficult, and a little discouraging. But Duncan was different. Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel - something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her. Its no surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre company, she found herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operating - all of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. Today, she is remembered as “The Mother of Dance,”with much of the modern art owing its expressive style to her influence. Inspired by the ancient Greeks, she brought the style to life. In her autobiography（自传）, one of the things Duncan frequently refers to as the basis of her expressive spirit is the fact that she had a childhood where she wasnt constantly watched. The expectations of her mother (who raised her) were open - ended. It was freedom of this lifestyle that drove her to see what she could do. Growing up, before she left school, she was told one of two things : that was either completely useless or that she was a genius. There was nothing is between. Even when she started working, people either bowed to her or they basically ignored her. But there wasnt one moment Duncan doubted her own genius. There is an old quotation “if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave from to brilliance. 56. What does the underlined phrase “treat troubles as fuel” mean?A. Duncan used troubles to push her forward towards her dream. B. Duncan was good at burning away everyday troubles. C. Troubles turned Duncan into a confident girl. D.

Her teaching job when she was little destroyed her confidence. C. Her dancing style was not very well received at the beginning. D. Her mother set higher expectation on her than she could bear. 58. What does the author try to tell the readers in the last paragraph?A. It is useless climbing a tree to catch fish. B. Everybody is a genius in his own way. C. Miseries come from human stupidity. D. Teachers can impact students greatly. 59. What is this passage mainly about?A. Isadora Duncans childhood and her achievements today. B. Duncans career development and other dancers opinions of her. C. Isadora Duncans early experiences and the reasons for her success. D. Duncans high status in the dancing world and her unique expressive style. (B) Taking your pulse during physical activity allows you to measure how hard you are exercising. You should exercise to sty within your target heart range. l Use your index finger（食指）and middle finger. Dont use your thumb（拇指）- it has a pulse of its own. l Place these two fingers on your wrist, just below the base of the thumb. l Count the number of beats (pulses) for 15 seconds. l Take this number and multiply by 4 to find your heart rate in beats per minute.
