shopping for gifts lies the idea of caring,being attentive to the 37 of special people in our lives.38 ,to use a well-worn play on words:it is our presence,not our 39 ,that truly counts.Giving attention to each other is,to a large extent,what human civilization is 40 .This perhaps 41 the runaway success of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.42 we use such sites for“micro bl ogging”,“idea voicing”and“status updates”,the reality is that we are often doing no more or less than 43 our basic human drive for attention exchange.I friend you,you friend me.The 44 ease with which we can now get and give attention is why many people appear overly 45 to their smart phones.It is also a vicious(邪恶的)46 .As ever more people are busy exchanging attention online,there is 47 less attention to be paid in the real world,which forces more people to seek their attention exchange online,48 risk attention-starvation.The very nature of attention exchange is being rapidly 49 ,and there is a danger that some of us will develop unhealthy practices.Just as eating red meat every day is a bad idea,50 it is with too much attention exchange.The 51 consequences of our technological advancement in food production are highly visible:heart disease,diabetes and obesity.The 8 consequences of our changed attention exchanges will be psychological and social,and so may take longer to 52,but they will be 53 damaging.Face-to-face attention is becoming 54 ,and therefore more valuable.And it is a gift that can be given 55 .36.A.physical B.imaginative C.thoughtful D.romantic 37.A.desires B.concerns C.claims D.purposes 38.A.Instead B.Moreover C.Otherwise D.However 39.A.feelings B.opinions C.presents D.choices 40.A.stood for B.related to C.based upon D.addicted to

C.absorbed D.appealed 46.A.gesture B.attempt C.habit D.9 circle 47.A.directly B.increasingly C.necessarily D.hopelessly 48.A.other than B.rather than C.or else D.apart from 49.A.transformed B.affected

History and Current Events in Jordan and Lebanon Itinerary:11 days 10 Departs:March 4,Sept.9,Oct.28 and Nov.11,2019 Travelers:24 On this 11-day journey to Jordan and Lebanon,meet Lebanon s president and enjoy extraordinary access to politicians,places and people as you learn the complicated pasts,presents and futures of these charming countries.Plus,visit Petra and spend a night in the desert.With local guides and a New York Times expert,help put this region in better perspective.Egypt:To the Land of the Pharaohs Itinerary:8 days Departs:Nov.7,2018;Sept.12,Oct.22,Nov.7 and 23,2019 Travelers:24For more than 2,000 years,travelers have come to Egypt seeking traces of the powerful dynasties swept away by the sands of time.On this eight-day journey into the past,including a drift on the mighty Nile,New York Times experts will help you piece together the life and times of a powerful ancient civilization and share their vision for the countrys future.Arctic Adventure:An Exploration of Canadas NorthItinerary:8 days Departs:July 22,2019 Travelers:20 This itinerary was developed in a partnership between Times Journeys and Canada Keep Exploring.Experience Churchill,Manitoba,along the shores of Canada s majestic Hudson Bay,the polar bear capital of the world,on this active eight-day journey.See wildlife up close(depending on the animals,of course),and discover Churchills 3,000 years of indigenous and European 11 history.56.Which of the following is unique to the journey to Egypt?A.Exploring the history.B.Meeting the local people.C.Visiting deserts.D.Traveling down a river.57.According to the passage,Churchill may refer to _.A.a great politician B.a polar bear C.a port city D.an ancient civilization B When experts refer to“divorce,”they mean that both members of a breeding(繁殖)pair survive to the following breeding season but end up pairing with new partners rather than reuniting.Great blue herons divorce after every breeding season,and emperor penguins split up around 85 percent of the time.In contrast,just 9 percent of mallard duck pairs call it quits,and albatrosses almost never break up.Many researchers have focused on understanding how these separations affect reproductive success,but until now few have focused on the process itself.Behavioral ecologist Carol Gilsenan of the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Germany and her colleagues monitored hundreds of Eurasian blue tits for eight years,using artificial nest boxes in a protected forest in southern Germany.In their findings,published in Animal Behaviour,64 percent of breeding pairs split up during the studyeven though faithful pairs produced more eggs and raised more young birds.If both members of a pair returned to their previous territory around the same time,they were 12 more likely to reunite;if they were on different schedules,they were more likely to separate.“If you turn up early,you cant a ff ord to wait around,”Gilsenan says.“It could be that your former mate is injured or even dead.If you wait,you may miss a breeding opportunity,so you need to pair up.”Adult mortality(死亡率)in blue tits is extremely higharound 50 percent so the bird that returns first is more likely to breed again by finding a new partner rather than risk being left out entirely.The birds seem to be simply playing the odds.The researchers also discovered that if pairs maintained contact outside the breeding season,they were more likely to have synchronized(同时的)schedules and therefore to remain faithful to each other.Josh A.Firth,a zoologist at the University of Oxford,who was not involved with the study,says this analysis apparently rules out a number of other possible causes of avian divorce,including low reproductive(生殖)success rates,and genetic or behavioral compatibility(协调).“In wild animal populations,”he says,“divorce can be driven by consequential effectsalmost accidentally.”58.We can safely conclude from the passage that _.A.all the birds mentioned in the passage go through divorce B.many researchers pay much attention to the process of separation C.Carol Gilsenan observed the birds for 8 years in their own nests D.the faithful pairs have higher reproductive rates 59.The underlined phrase in the last but one paragraph means _.A.acting strangely B.happening accidentally 13 C.trying their luck D.doing something temporarily 60.What s the best title of the passage?A.Bird breakup B.Faithful pairs C.Divorce or not D.Breeding season C Did you hear what happened at yesterdays meeting?Can you believe it?If you find those sorts of quietly whispered questions about your co-workers irresistible,youre hardly alone.But why are we drawn to gossip?A new study suggests its because the rumors are all about us.“Gossip receivers tend to use positive and negative group information to improve,promote,and protect the self,”writes a research team,led by Elena Martinescu of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.In the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin,the researchers described two experiments testing the personal value gossip receivers get.The first featured 178 university undergraduates,who had all previously worked on at least one course assignment with a group of four or more students.Participants were asked to recall and write a short description of an incident,in which a group member shared with them either positive or negative information about another group members secret.They then reported their level of agreement with a series of statements.Some of these measured the self-improvement value of the gossip(“The information received made me think I can learn a lot from X”);others measured its self-promotion value(“The information I received made me feel that I am doing well compared to X”).Still others measured whether the gossip raised personal concerns(“The 14 information I received made me feel that I must protect my image in the group”).In the second experiment,122 undergraduates were assigned the role of“sales agent”at a major company.They received gossip from a colleague that a third person either did very well or very badly at a performance evaluation,and were then asked about the emotions that information caused.They also responded to the above-mentioned set of statements presented to the participants in the first experiment.In each experiment,participants found both negative and positive gossip to be of personal value with different reasons.“Positive gossip has self-improvement value,”they write.“Competence-related positive gossip about others contains lessons about how to improve ones own competence.On the other hand,negative gossip has self-promotion value,because it provides individuals with social comparison information that justifies self-promoting judgments which results in feelings of p
