Selecting the fruits and vegetables went fine, but when he got to the bread section, he had trouble, because there were over 60 varieties to choose from. Tom compared different types and examined the differences. After 10 minutes of careful consideration, he picked one that seemed like the perfect choice. However, he had to repeat the process for the rest of the shopping list. By the time he had finished and paid for everything, he was tired and upset.Why did Tom have this kind of experience? According to behavioral economics research, although having some options makes us feel good, once we get beyond that small number, the more choices we have, the less happy we feel.The cause of our unhappiness has its root in one typical judgment error we makeour natural reactions prefer avoiding losses to making gains. This is probably because of our evolutionary（进化的）background; our minds evolved for the savanna（热带草原）environment, not for our modem shopping context. Due to this, when we have lots of options, we feel anxious about making the wrong choice and losing out on the best one.Digging into research on factors that make a shopping trip an unhappy experience helps us improve our buying decisions. When choosing what to buy the number one technique involves satisficing instead of maximizing.Maximizing behavior refers to finding the perfect option when shopping. Maximizers compare all available options to make sure that they get the best deal in terms of performance, price, and so on. They have high expectations, and they hope that the product will meet their expectations.It's the opposite for satisficers. They set certain minimal criteria （最彳氐标准）that need to be met, then search for the first available product that meets the criteria. They look for products that are “good enough instead of “perfect''. When they fbcus on “good enough”, their brain automatically highlights the positives, and lowers the expectations.Research shows that maximizing behavior results in less happiness, less satisfaction, and more regret than satisficing.To be happier, satisfice and limit your choices. Make a short list that compares a reasonable number of options and doesn't include every product available. After all, there's no such thing as the perfect deal.53. Why did Tom have trouble selecting bread?（不多于 9 个单词）54. According to the writer, what is the judgment error that causes our unhappiness?（不多于 9 个单词）55.

It puzzled him why that 3 in particular stayed with him. He decided to call Grandma Joy.It would be their first real 4 in years. She invited him over and he said "yes”. When the door opened, everything inside looked the same. But he was looking at a woman who had 5. They made small talk.Grandma Joy said that she had many 6 in her life. One of them was that except her time at Blue Rock State Park, she'd never had the chance to see what she called the great outdoors.Brad left his grandmother house and went back to his routine. But he couldn't help thinking of Grandma Joy and her sadness of not seeing more of 7. She just lived a simple life that stopped at the edge of the countyline.

However, fine art opens the door to everyone. Learning how to look at and understand artworks requires us to take the time to view, identify and think.Look at the ArtAs the first step it's necessary to take a moment to identify the artwork's general features: Is it a painting, sculpture or craftwork? Does it appear chaotic （混舌L 的）or organized? Are the colors bright or soft?Identify the Art and ArtistKnowing when or how the artwork was made and learning something about the artist can reveal more context. We all know the famous painting Guernica is a masterpiece created by Picasso in 1937. However, if we can find out Picasso composed the painting to reflect a bombing during the Spanish Civil War, we'll know more about its anti-war meaning.Even if the historical context of an artwork is not obvious, knowing the year of its creation offers more context.Think About the MeaningUse what you observed in the first two steps to think about meanings the artwork could have.Consider what the title, the subjects, or the symbols meant to the artist when he or she created the artwork. What do the colors say about the artist, and how do they apply to the subjects in the art? For example, the owls in Lebo's works represent wisdom, but why are they so brightly colored?In addition, ask how the art makes you feel. Many artists have specific meanings behind their art, but also encourage viewers to come up with their own explanations. Still, every explanation is not automatically correct, which is why the techniques described above are helpful in finding clues.The next time you're admiring a work of art, keep these techniques in mind, and its meaning may unfold before your eyes.16. What is the first step when viewing art?A. Doing some research on the artist.B. Being "in-the-know” about the workC. Identifying the work's general featuresD. Knowing the year of an artwork's creation17. When thinking about the meaning of an artwork, you should.A explain it freelyB. choose a title for itC. describe it to the viewersD. ask how it makes you feel18. The passage is probably written for.A. museum staffB. gallery visitorsC. professional artistsD. exhibition organizersBAnuar Abdullah has always had a special feeling fbr the ocean. In the 1980s, he settled in Perhentian as a diving instructor and fell in love with corals. Twice daily, he went out to sea, staying underwater fbr as long as his oxygen supply allowed. He learned the shapes and textures （纹理）of coral reefs long before he knew their Latin names. He studied the living conditionsthe water temperature, the sunshine, the diversity（多样f生）of ocean life-and saw how just one of those factors could bring about large-scale death.Abdullah spent two decades experimenting with how to grow coral reefs in the ocean. He didn't have a degree in marine （海洋的）biology or a research lab, but he had his own ways. Almost all the materials he used to grow corals came directly from the ocean. He didn't use steel pipes or brickswhich he couldn't affordinstead, he gathered rocks from the seafloor, piling them so they wouldn't be knocked down by tidal waves. While others might depend on a lab to break live coral into pieces that were in turn used fbr growing, he searched fbr broken pieces of coral in existing reefs and fixed them to the rocks using animal-friendly glue. When he needed other materials, he started by searching the beach for waste.Every day, the locals saw him on his knees examining corals in the ocean. Sometimes, he picked up a rock to which he had fixed a piece of coral several weeks earlier, and said very quietly, “My little acropora （鹿角大珊瑚）, how are you doing today?” The locals whispered about how he'd spent days in the water speaking to corals as if they were people. "Everyone thought I was stupid J said Abdullah, "But I knew I was doing the most important thing in the world.”Actually, Abdullah was right. Now, in a world rapidly losing its coral reefs to climate change and environmental damage, he has become an increasingly influential expert on how to bring them back to life. Thousands have traveled from around the world to learn from Abdullah how to grow corals, with some eventuallyB. have diving trainingD. share his feelings fbr the seaB. traditional and indirectD. scientific and expensiveB. received a degree in marine biologyD. became an expert on coral protectionB. Achievement provides true pleasure.D. The strong man is strongest when aloneCleaving their jobs to join his projects full time. With his 700 active volunteers, he has already saved about 125 acres of coral reefs.19. Abdullah went out to sea twice daily to.A. study coral reefsC. check his oxygen supply20. Abdullah's way of growing corals is.A. eco-friendly and practicalC. high-tech and affordable21. From the passage we know that AbdullahA. searched fbr waste to make a livingC. talked to everyone about coral reefs22. What can we learn from the story?A. Anyone with a dream is amazing.C. An individual can make a difference.Have you ever wished you could be better organized or more sociable? Perhaps you're a constant worrier, and you'd prefer to be a little more carefree? Actually at least 2/3 of people would like to change some elements of their personality. In the past, such desires appeared to be fruitless. One's personality was thought to be formed in childhood and to remain fixed throughout his entire life.Recent research from psychology professor Nathan Hudson and his colleagues, however, challenges this expectation of a fixed personality. With the right psychological strategies and enough effort, they say, many people can successfully shape their desired personality.Their interventions （干预）typically involve recommending regular activities that reflect the personality traits（特征）people wish to adopt. Introverts who wish to be more outgoing, for example, might have the goal of introducing themselves to a stranger once a week, or making small talk with the cashier in the supermarket. Someone who wishes to be mor
