To my amazement I discovered that not only had I been paid, a company Id never worked for had also paid me! I knew Id have been beside myself if my own salary was not in my account, so I tried to get the money back to the right person. Easier said than done.The bank couldnt help as it wasnt a bank problem. The human resources department at the company that paid me was unable to help as I didnt have enough details. I rang the bank again. Thankfully, I had a sympathetic call operator who gave me a name, so I again rang the company Daniel worked for.I expected the bank would contact me to arrange to take the money from my account and repay Daniel. I heard nothing for a month and the money remained in my account when Daniel called, explaining hed tried to get back his money but had been unsuccessful as neither the bank nor his company felt it was their error. He had rung to ask if I could speak to the bank, but after chatting for a few minutes we realized we could probably fix this problem ourselves.We decided I would take the money from my account and he would pick it up from me. Due to my busy job I was unable to meet Daniel personally but he left me a lovely bottle of wine in exchange for what was rightfully his. I never had any intention of keeping Daniels pay but red tape(繁琐手续) made it difficult to do the right thing. It all came down to two people being able to do what a huge bank and a large company couldnt do-admit a mistake has occurred and fix it.21.

A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your ageMartin Doherty，a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland，led the team of scientistsIn this experiment，Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力)of some people，using pictures of some orange circlesThe researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of peopleThe first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10，and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25The first group of pictures showed two orange circles alone on a white backgroundOne of the circles was larger than the other，and these people were asked to identify the larger oneFour-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the timeAdults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the timeNext，both groups were shown pictures where the orange circles，again of different sizes，were surrounded by gray circlesHeres where the trick liesIn some of the pictures，the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circlesmaking the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle，which was the real larger oneAnd the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circlesso it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circleWhen young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures，they werent fooledthey were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as beforeOlder children and adults，on the other hand，did not do as wellOlder children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one，and adults got it wrong most of the timeAs children get older，Doherty said，their brains may develop the ability to identify visual contextIn other words，they will begin to process the whole picture at once：the tricky gray circles，as well as the orange circle in the middleAs a result，theyre more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick28Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate_Apeoples ability to see accurately BChildrens and adults eye-sightCchildrens and adults brains Dthe influence of peoples age29When asked to find the larger circle，_Achildren at 4 got it right about 79of the time with gray ones aroundBchildren at 6 got it wrong 79of the time with no gray ones aroundConly adults over 18 got it right 95of the time with gray ones aroundDadults got it right most of the time with gray ones around30According to the passage，we can know that_Aa smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white backgroundBan orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same sizeCa circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real sizeDa circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size31Why are younger children not fooled?ABecause they are smarter than older children and adultsBBecause older people are influenced by their experienceCBecause peoples eyes become weaker as they grow olderDBecause their brain can hardly notice related things togetherDHere is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone cant make us tire. It sounds absurd. But a years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day. So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired? Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情绪的) attitudes. One of Englands most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.” What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated-those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.32. What surprised the scientists a few years ago?A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborers blood.B. The brain could work for many hours without fatigueC. Albert Einstein didnt feel worn after a days workD. A mental workers blood was filled with fatigue toxins.33. According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?A. Challenging mental work. B. Physical laborC. Endless tasks. D. Unpleasant emotions34. Whats the authors attitude towards the scientists idea?A.He doubts them. B. He agrees with them.C. He argues against them. D. He hesitates to accept them.35. We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to_.A. have some good food. B. exercise regularlyC.enjoy their work D. discover fatigue toxins第二部分：七选五How to Love Your ParentsEven if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times， loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life.
