12、ng a general engineering degree at the same time. OsvaldoOne of the reasons I chose this university was because of the effort that they put into organizing the open day.

20、il one of the women asked,“You have a car, right? I explained that there were no cars available during our week on the island, so we had to rely on cabs instead.“Oh no, she said,“you need a car.”And then, as casually as if offering a piece of chewing gum，she said,“Take mine!”My husband and I just sm

22、king later, my family climbed into Almas car. We spent the rest of our vacation discovering different areas of this beautiful island.

27、2. It has one seat and is made from carbon fiber. The plane weighs only as much as a car but its wings are wider than a Boeing 747. The planes wings stretch 72 meters across. Those wings include 17,000 solar units, or cells, which capture the suns energy. The energy allows the plane to fly day and n

28、ight.Two Swiss scientists built the plane. Bertrand Piccard is also an explorer who made the first non-stop flight around the world in a balloon. Andre Borschberg is an engineer and trained fighter pilot. The scientists say they are not trying to alter the airplane industry. Instead, they want to sh

34、lored.DWhat a Messy Desk Says About YouFor some time, psychologists have been studying how personality traits affect health and health-related choices. Not surprisingly, they have found that people blessed with innate(天生的) conscientiousness, meaning that they are organized, typically eat better and

35、live longer than people who are disorderly. They also tend to have immaculate offices.What has been less clear is whether neat environments can produce good habits even in those who arent necessarily innately conscientious. To find out, researchers at the University of Minnesota conducted a series o

36、f experiments. In the first experiment, they randomly assigned a group of college-age students to spend time in two office spaces, one of which was very neat, the other wildly cluttered (乱堆) with papers and other work-related stuff. The students spent their time filling out questionnaires unrelated

37、to the study. After 10 minutes, they were told they could leave with an apple or a chocolate bar. Those students who sat in the orderly office were twice as likely to choose the apple as those who sat among the mess.A second experiment, however, found that working in chaos has its advantages, too. I

38、n this one, college students were placed in a messy or a neat office and asked to dream up new uses for Ping-Pong balls. Those in messy spaces generated ideas that were significantly more creative, according to two independent judges, than those in offices where stacks of papers and other objects we

39、re neatly arranged.The results were something of a surprise, says Dr. Vohs, the leader of the study. Few previous studies found much virtue in disorder. The broken window theory, proposed decades ago, holds that even slight disorder and neglect can encourage indifference and poor discipline.But in t

40、he study by Dr. Vohs, disordered offices encouraged originality and a search for novelty. In the final portion of the study, adults were given the choice of adding a health “boost” to their lunchtime smoothie(一种饮料) that was labeled either “new” or “classic.” The volunteers in the messy space were fa

41、r more likely to choose the new one; those in the tidy office generally chose the classic version. “Disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition,” Dr. Vohs and her co-authors conclude in the study, “which can produce fresh insights.”The implications of these findings are also p

42、ractical. “My advice would be, if you need to think outside the box for a future project”, Dr. Vohs says, “then let the clutter rise and free your imagination. But if your primary goal is to eat well or to go to the gym, pick up around your office first. By doing this, the naturally messy can acquir

43、e some of the discipline of the conscientious.” 32. The underlined word “immaculate” in paragraph 1 probably means _.A. messy B. tidy C. terrible D. comfortable33. Which of the following can best explain the broken window theory?A. Chaos begets(引发) chaos. B. Misfortune may be an actual blessing.C. B

45、ccess of a project.35. What can we conclude from the study results?A. The naturally neat people tend to be very creative.B. A messy office will cause quite low working efficiency.C. Environments can affect peoples way of thinking and behavior.D. Peoples personalities are determined by their working

Telling a child wont succeed. And, the more you ask your children to eat something, the more theyll push back. H

47、erere five skills you can use to guide them without saying a word.1. Eat Together. Eat fruit in front of your kids and theyre more likely to want. Krisena Borenstein, a mother of two children aged three and four, has seen this type of role modeling work. 36 Watching their father eat apples may cause them to want “what Daddy eats”.2. Keep Trying. Many children reject new foods because theyre afraid of them, not because they dont like the taste. 37 You may need to present a new fruit 10 times or more before theyll accept it. 3. Slice Fruit.
