要至少30天的时间来调整和重新学习如何使用新的助听器再次听到声音，”维特博士说。“为了保证您使用助听器的最佳效果，我们开发了行业内第一个30天计划——听力成功计划，这样客户就有了额外的护理和知识来获得成功。”)”可知我们的大脑需要至少30天的时间来调整和重新学习如何使用新的助听器再次听到声音，所以听力成功计划就是帮助客户适应新的助听器，故选B。【49题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段““We’reinvestingheavilyinshapingourcompanyculture,”Crusiussays.“Individualswhoworkatsaytheyareheretodomorethanajob.They’rehelpingchangelivesallaroundtheworld.”(Crusius说：“我们在塑造公司文化方面投入了大量资金。在工作的人说，他们在这里不仅仅是为了工作。他们正在帮助改变世界各地的生活。”)”可推断的员工为他们的工作感到自豪，故选A。【50题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Hearingaidsusuallybringtomindimagesofugly,ineffectivedevicesmainlywornbytheelderly.Butthisillreputeisquicklychanging,asthey’verecentlytakenaturnthankstotwoinnovators,Dr.MarcoVietorandPaulCrusius,whonowleadthefastest-growinghearingaidcompanyintheworld—.(助听器通常给人的印象是主要由老年人佩戴的丑陋、无效的设备。但这种坏名声正在迅速改变，因为他们最近有了一个转折，多亏了两位创新者，Dr.MarcoVietor和PaulCrusius，他们现在领导着世界上增长最快的助听器公司。)”可知文章主要讲述的Hear.com公司的创新产品和服务，故选A。DHistoryisfullofcaseswheredreamshavebeenapathwaytocreativityanddiscovery.AstrikingexampleisprovidedbyDr.OttoLoewi,apharmacologistandwinnerofaNobelPrize.Loewihadspentyearsstudyingthechemicaltransmissionofnerveimpulses(脉搏).Agreatbreakthroughinhisresearchcamewhenhedreamedofanexperimentthreenightsinarow.Thefirsttwonightshewokeupandwrotedowntheexperimentquicklyanduntidilyonpaper.Butthenextmorning,hecouldn’ttellwhatthenotesmeant.Onthethirdnight,hegotupafterhavingthedream.Thistime,insteadofmakingnoteshewentstraighttohislaboratoryandperformedtheimportantexperiment.Loewilatersaidthatiftheexperimenthadoccurredtohimwhileawakehewouldhaverejectedit.Loewi’sexperimentgivessomeinsightintousingdreamstoproducecreativesolutions.Nervousfeelingsarereducedwhileyouaredreaming,whichmaybeespeciallyusefulinsolvingproblemsthatrequireafreshpointofview.Beingabletotakeadvantageofdreamsforsolvingisimprovedifyou“set”yourselfbeforeretiring.Beforeyougotobed,trytothinkintentlyaboutaproblemyouwishtosolve.Buryyourselfintheproblembystatingitclearlyandreviewingallrelevantinformation.Thenusethesuggestionslistedintheprevioussectiontocatchyourdreams.Althoughthismethodisnotguaranteedtoproduceanovelsolutionoranewinsight,itiscertaintobeanadvent
