What a Scientist Is Like Ifyou were asked to imagine a scientist, what image （ 形象 ） would come to your mind? The common id

33、ea that most kidsfrom kindergarten through college have of ascientist is a man wearing a white lab coat with messy hair, big glasses, and several glass cups of mysterious colorful liquids giving off clouds of smoke.As for adults, the majority view scientists as strange people who spend 100 hours a w

34、eek slaving away in a lonely laboratory. However, therealityisquite different. Recently I ve hadachance to take partin a scientific experience far from my laboratory and into Costa Rica. It supports ahuge amount of wildlife due to its geographical placement between North and South America. It ishome

35、 to more than 500,000 species （ 物种 ）, which represents nearly 4% of the total species worldwide!

After reaching the top,we went down and through

37、waterfalls to thebeautiful valley below! On the last day we got a hands-on introduction to rocket science where we learned about new rocket technology that will be used on the international space station. During my Costa Rica experience, I know that being a scientist doesn t mean working in a lab al

38、l day and night.A scientist is one who loves learning and getting a better understanding of the world from helping preserve wild-life, learning about earthquakes or inventingrockets.

Now a new Un iversity of Penn sylva nia study shows that mutteri ng can actually help people find lost objec

43、ts in other words, saying the name of an object helps you find it more quickly. Previous work has suggested that speak in galoud while perform ing step-by-step tasks, like tying shoelaces （鞋带）,can help kids guide their behavior and let them focus on the job in hand. However, scientists were not sure

44、 if speaking aloud when performing tasks could help adults in the same way, especially when looking for particular objects. Professor Gary Lupan and Daniel Swingley, writing for the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, carried out some experime nts. They hoped to give the fact that next tim

45、e you lose your keys, mutteri ng keys, keys, keysca n in fact help you find them. In spired by view ing people mutteri ng to themselves as they try to find thi ngs like pea nut butter in a supermarket, the researchers con ducted two experime nts to see if this actuallyworked. In the first, participa

46、nts were shown 20 pictures of various objects and were asked to find a certain one, with some seeing a text label （标签）telling them what they were looking for.These participa nts werethe n asked to search for the object aga in while say ing the word to themselves, with results show in gthat say ing i

47、t aloud helped people find the object more quickly. The sec ond experime nt saw participa nts perform ing a shopp ing task, where they were show n photographs of items （物品）com monly found on supermarket shelves. They were asked to find all examples of a particular item, so if they were asked for app

48、les they had to find all the bags of apples,as quickly as possible. The researchers found that there was also an adva ntage in say ing the n ame of the product aloud whe n they were search ing for someth ing familiar. The Un iversity of Penn sylva nia study shows that mutteri ng can actually help pe

49、ople reach the target objectin other words, mutteri ng to on eself helps to focus the mi nd on someth in g. It works more effectively tha n see ing a writte n descriptio n. Repeat ing the word over and over aga in helps even more. 63. The sec ond paragraph tells us that _ . A.muttering helps people

53、f Remembering Objects D Why I ve taken a break from holidays It is now close to four years since Ilast tooka holiday. This is because I have come to theconclusion, over the course of my adult life, that Iam not verygood at it. You might think this sounds like saying you re noytgvoeord at drinking te

54、a orlistening to music. What could possibly be difficultabout the natural act of putting your workinglife on hold for a couple of weeks and goingsomewhere warm to do nothing? I was a model holidaymaker as a kid. However, the problems started during my twenties. Atrip to the south ofFrance was ended

55、after just two days, mainly because I had anurge to check my e-mails. Similarly, my honeymoonwas cut short by 48 hours not because my wife and I weren t eonyjing ourselves, but because we were missing our cats. So what is my problem? On the surface, I m probablya bit of a homebody. And Ijust findthe

56、 pressure of being on holiday too severe: it always feels like having a gun held to my head and being forced to have fun. Somehow, packing a list of possessions and meeting a scheduled flight has none of the excitement ofsuddenly deciding to take a day off and drivingsomewhere for the fun ofit. Than

57、kfully, I m not alone. This summer, most of my friends have decided nohtatvoe a break. And a recent survey （调查）proved the down side of holidays, with the results show ing that n early two thirds of people found that the calming effects of a holiday wore off within 24 hours, as stress levels returned

58、 to normal. And this year The Idler magazine published its Book of Awful Holidays . Here you will find a list of the five most ecologically- damaging vacations it possible to take, along with 50 painful holiday experie nces voted for on The Idlerwebsite. What interests me is what the concept of a “

59、holiday says about our lives. For me, the point of living is to have a life you enjoy for 52 weeks a year.The more I like my life and the better I structure it, the less I want to go away. May be I am unusual person for not liking holidays, but Ijust feel the time whe n I m not worki ng is toovaluab

60、le to waste on them. 67. The events the author describes in the sec ond paragraph show _ . A. how hard he has tried to enjoy holidays B. how badly he behaves whe n he is on holiday C. his lack of en thusiasm for being on holiday D. his fear of someth ing bad whe n he is on holiday 68. What does the
