ouncing B ack after S etbacks.A s I sat therelistening to their many personal and professional mistakes and setbacks,Ifelt fortunate that I hadn t made that many mistakes in my own life.T hose women had lost thousands in investments,started companies but failed,sold companies that later ended up being worth mi 1 lions,and lost partners in thename of business.D espite knowing that they had,in fact,bounced back and wereagain doing very well,I was starting to feel sorry for them.T hen,as if someone whispered in my ear,I heard the words:D on t be soproud of yourself.Y ou haven?t made any mistakes because you haven t lived atall.L ook how boring your life is.W hose voice was this,and how dare it speakto me like that?I think,for the first time,I heard my own heart speak.It shook me to mycore,and it took all I had to keep from crying.I started thinking of themistakes I had made.T he voice was right.T here weren,t many at all.I hadfollowed a straight path for 3 8 years.I went to school,earned bachelorJ s andmaster s degrees with honors,and stayed at every job V d had farlonger than it wasprofessionally beneficial for me to do so.In fact,at 3 8,I had only had threejobs.T he devi 1（魔鬼）you know is betler than the one you don I was my motto.A quick review of my life made me realize that it was the actions Ihadn,t taken that I was suddenly regretting.I hadn t studied abroad.Ihadn,t risked love.In fact,I was perpetually single.I hadn t started a9business.I hadn,t traveled enough.I had said“no”far more than“yes”.The voice that whispered to me continued to the New Year.It was like itlaughed at me.The thought of turning forty frightened me.It s one thing to beunhappy and unsettled in your twenties,and perhaps even in one s thirties.Butwas I going to start a new decade with the same boredom?I needed something topick me up,some activity I could look forward to.51.How did the author feel when first hearing stories from the 5 speakers?10A.R egretful.B.S

a lotC.was married in her thirtiesD.decided to do something newBP rintable T ags T urn E veryday O bjects into S mart D evicesE ngineers have developed printable metal tags（标贴）that could be attached toeveryday objects and turn them into smart Internet of T hings devices.T he metal tags are made from copper foil（铜箔）printed ontothin,flexible,paper-like materials to reflect W iF isignals.T he tags work essentially like“mirrors”that,reflect radio signals from a W iF i router.W hen auser s finger touches these“mirrors”,it disturbsthe reflected W iF i signals in such a way that can beremotely sensed by a W iF i receiver like a smartphone.T he tags can be nailed onto objects that people touch every day,like waterbottles,walls or doors.T hese objects then become smart and connected devicesthat can signal a W iF i device whenever a user interacts with them.T he tags can6also be shaped into thin keypads or smart home control panels that can be used toremotely operate WiFi-connected speakers and other Internet of Things devices.Xinyu Zhang,a professor of electrical and computer engineering,named the technologyLiveTag.He pictures people using LiveTag technology to track human interactionwith everyday objects.For example,LiveTag could potentially be used to assessthe recovery of patients who have suffered from stroke（中风）.“When patientsreturn home,they could use this technology to provide data based on how theyinteract with everyday objects at home,whether they are opening or closing doorsin a normal way,or if they are able to pick up bottles of water,for example.The amount,intensity and frequency of their activities could be recorded andsent to their doctors to evaluate their7recovery,“said Z hang.A nd this can all be done in the comfort of their ownhomes rather thanhaving to keep going back to the clinic for frequent testing,“he added.T he researchers note several limitations of the technology.L iveT ag currentlycannot work with a W iF i receiver further than one meter away,so researchers areworking on improving the tag sensitivity and detection range.U ltimately,theteam aims to develop a way to make the tags using normal paper and ink printing,which would make them cheaper to mass produce.5 5.W hen people touch a printable metal tag,_.A.they are actually touching a mirrorB.the W iF i router will stop sending signalsC.the reflected W iF i signals will be disturbedD.their fingers can be sensed by a W iF i router5 6.L iveT ag can probably be used to _.A.precisely locate everyday objectsB.remotely control a W iF i-connected T V C.easily blocksignals from W iF i devicesD.greatly improve one s physical condition5 7.L iveT ag helps stroke patients by _A.evaluating the process of their recoveryB.sending data of their activities to doctorsC.connecting their smartphones with doctorsJD.recording doctorsJ assessments of their recoveryCH ow to M ake F riends,A ccording to S cienceF riendship is one of life s most important features,and one too oftentaken for granted.T he human desire for companionship may feel boundless,but research suggeststhat our social capital is finite-we can only handle a certain number ofrelationships at one time.S ocial scientists have used some creative approaches8to measure the size of peopleJ s social networks;these have returned estimatesranging from about 250 to about 5,500 people.Looking more specifically atfriendship,a study using the exchange of Christmas cards to test closeness putthe average persony s friend group at about 121 people.However vast our networksmay be,our inner circle tends to be much smaller.The average American trustsonly 10 to 20 people.Moreover,that number may be shrinking:From 1998 to 2017,the average number of trusted friends decreased from three to two.This is bothsad and of important consequence,because people who have strong socialrelationships tend to live longer than those who don t.9S o what should you do if your social life is lacking?H ere the research isinstructive.T o beginwith,don,t refuse to consider the humble acquaintance（交情）.E ven interactingwith people with whom one has weak social ties has a meaningful influence onwell-being.B eyond that,building deeper friendships may be largely a matter ofputting in time.A recent study out of the U niversity of K ansas found that ittakes about 5 0 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend,anadditional 4 0 hours to become a“real friend,and a total of 2 0 0 hours tobecome a close friend.If that sounds like too much effort,renewing inactive social ties can beespecially rewarding.R econnected friends can quickly recapture the trust theypreviously built,while offering each other adash of novelty（8 rawn from whatever they,ve been up to in the meantime.A ndif all else fails,you could start randomly to tell secrets to people you don t know that well.S elf-disclosure makes us more likable,and as a bonus,we are more likely tofavor those to whom we have revealed our soul.L onging for closeness and connection is common and everywhere,which suggeststhat most of us are stumbling（跌跌撞撞）through the world,expectingcompanionship that could be easilyprovided by the lonesome stumbiers all around us.S o set aside this article,turn to someone nearby,and try to make a friend.5 8.F rom P aragraph 2,we can knowthat.A.a strong social relationship can guarantee a long lifeB.real friendships are based on the exchange of presentsC.people?s inner circl
