Aekyoung Kim of Rutgers University in the U.S. and Sam Maglio of the University of Toronto Scarborough in Canada have conducted four studies in which they studied how the pursuit of happiness as well as the state of being happy influenced peoples perception (看法) of time.In the studies, some participants were either instructed to list things that would make them happier or asked to try to make themselves feel happy while watching a boring movie about building bridges, thus showing happiness as a goal to pursue. The other participants came to think of happiness as a goal that they had already accomplished, achieved by watching a comedy or listing things showing that they were already happy. Afterwards, all participants reported how much free time they felt they had.The researchers main finding showed that a persons perception of time scarcity (缺乏) is influenced by their pursuit of (often unattainable) happiness. The feeling that time was scarce became less strong for participants who said that they had attained their goal of being happy to some degree.“Time seems to disappear during the pursuit of happiness, but only when its seen as a goal requiring continued pursuit,” explain the researchers. “This finding suggests that the pursuit of happiness can destroy well-being.” According to the researchers, the finding implies that while happiness can hurt positive emotions, it need not necessarily do so. Instead, if someone believes they have achieved happiness, they are left with the time to appreciate this. The research further explains that people have different concepts about happiness, which in turn may well influence how they perceive the time they have to achieve happiness.“Because going through experiences and sharing feelings require more time compared with only, for example, buying material goods, feeling that time is lacking also leads people to prefer material possessions rather than enjoying pleasant experiences,” the researchers continue. “Encouraging people to worry less about pursuing happiness as a never-ending goal might just end up giving them more time and, in turn, more happiness.”58. The tasks given to the two groups of participants differ in _.A. how they spent their free timeB. how they drew up shopping listsC. what kind of movies interested themD. whether they had acquired happiness59. We can infer from the finding in Paragraph 4 that _.A. happiness is determined by timeB. happiness is a matter of choiceC. happiness is a never-ending goalD. happiness can hurt positive emotions60. Which of the following would be the best title of the text?A. Will time-saving tasks make you happier?B. Is emotion management training necessary?C. Can pursuing happiness make you unhappy?D. Should you express your unhappiness in hard times?CMany Americans think of driverless cars as a futuristic technology that will revolutionize travel in cities and along state highways. But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional modes of transportation, such as the elderly and disabled, so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation.A retirement community in San Jose, Calif., which has been transformed by a small fleet of driverless taxis, shows the potential of self-driving cars to transform peoples lives. Built by a tech start-up called Voyage, the modified Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road, but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomous vehicles, which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road, these residentswhose average age is 76will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appointments. As these cars continue to serve residents there, it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.In Michigan, forward-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles, especially for those with physical disabilities. The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology, saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling, independent lives.Many recognize that autonomous vehicles will be the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who are forced to depend on others for day-to-day travel. The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and Michigan, and pass rules and regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.61. Whats the attitude of most American people to the future of autonomous vehicles?A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic.62. What is the modified Ford Fusion?A. A kind of autonomous vehicle.B. The collection of social activities.C. A two-mile road for self-driving cars.D. The name of a retirement community.63. What are examples in California and Michigan to prove?A. Driverless cars disadvantages.B. Governments right decisions.C. Benefits to the aged and disabled.D. The regulations are forward-thinking.64. What does the author attempt to inform us in the last paragraph?A. The benefits of driverless cars have been fully unlocked.B. Regulations should go hand in hand with driverless technology.C. The concept of autonomous vehicles has been widely recognized.D. The weak groups are often overlooked despite technology advances.DAccording to the American Gem Society, anthropologists believe that engagement (订婚) rings date back to a Roman custom in which wives wore rings with keys attached, which indicated that their husbands owned them. Engagement rings began to get a little less dark in 1477, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria commissioned an expensive diamond ring for his new wife. The accessory grew in popularity in the Victorian era, and gradually the diamond ring trend trickled down from nobility to the masses.There is a theory that the tradition of bridesmaids dressing alike dates back to ancient Rome, the bride considered to be prime bait (诱饵) for evil spirits. So, all the women dressed alike to confuse the spirits from interrupting the bride and the grooms wedding.Another theory, however, dates back to the Victorian era. Dr. Liz Gloyn, a lecturer in Royal Holloway at the University of London, told The Independent that the tradition originated from fear of competition. “It is my belief that by regulating the bridesmaids formally into exactly the same garments, there was no room for any of them to try and outdo each other, let alone the bride, through the use of grander fabric, grander jewelry,” Dr. Gloyn said.Centuries ago, a groom had to “kidnap” the bride if her family disapproved of their union. The best man was put in place to defend the groom in case the family retaliated. The best man originated as the grooms choice protector. Many centuries ago, it was common for a groom to “steal” a bride from her family if they didnt approve of the unionand it was the best mans job to fight the family if they reacted. It was also common practice for the best man to stand next to the groom with a sword in tow on the day of the wedding. In fact, ancient groups like the Huns, Goths, and Visigoths would store weapons in the floor of the church in the event of a fight.The practice of the groom carrying the bride across the threshold (门槛) of their new home or bedroom dates back to ancient Rome. At the time, the bride had to p
