23、LL.C. BLANDEMAR FARM ESTATES.D. OLD WOODVILLE.BAs an activist I havebeen doing what Nelson Mandela tells me since I was a teenager. Over the years we became friends. I, like everyone else, admired him for hisoutstandingleadership. His cabinet appointments of Trevor Manuel and Kadar Asmal were brave.

24、 His partnership with Sowetan neighbor Desmond Tutu brought me untold joy. This double acttook the success of the anti-apartheid (反种族隔离) fight in South Africa and widened the scope to include the battle against AIDS and the broader reach for dignity by the poorest peoples on the planet.Mandela never

25、 doubted that his continent would gain a victory in the 21st century: “We are not just the peoples with the oldest history,” he told me. “We have the brightest future.” He knew Africa was rich with oil, gas, minerals, land and, above all, people. But he also knew that because of their “colonial past

26、, Africans still dont quite believe these precious things belong to them.” He could charm the birds off the treesand cash right out of wallets. He told me once how Margaret Thatcher had personally donated 20,000 to his foundation. “How did you do that?” I asked. The Iron Lady often kept a tight grip

27、 on her purse. “I asked,” he said with a laugh. “Youll never get what you want if you dont ask.” Then hesaid her donation had disgusted some of his people. “Didnt she try to hold back our movement?” they complained. Laughter, not tears, was Mandelas preferred wayexcept on one occasion when I saw him

28、 almost choke up. It was on Robben Island, in the courtyard outside the cell in which he had spent 18 of his 27 years in prison. He was explaining why hed decided to use his cellmates number, 46664, to bring a response to the AIDSclaiming so many African lives. One of his cellmates told me thathis t

29、ear-duct (泪腺) had left him unable to cry. Despite this mansvision, he could not produce tears in a moment of self-doubt or grief.He had surgery in 1994 to put this right. Now, he could cry.Today, we can.58. The author owes Mandelas achievements to _. A. his wise leadershipB. the anti-apartheidfightC

32、as an ordinary person sometimesCOxytocinisknown as the “hug hormone (荷尔蒙)”. People experience oxytocin in many social relationships, including bonding with children or partners. What is surprising is that people would also experience a change in this hormone when bonding with a completely different

33、species.Miho Nagasawa of Azabu University in Japan and colleagues conducted a study with 55 dogs and their owners. People whose dogs gazed at them for two minutes or longershowed a higher increase in oxytocin than people whose dogs gazed at them for less time. People with dogs with a long gaze also

34、reported being happier with their dogs than those people whose dogs gaze was only around one minute long.In another study by Linda Handlin and colleagues from the University of Skvde in Sweden, owners who kissed their dogs the most frequently had higher levels of oxytocin than other owners.Handlin f

35、ound that along with kissing, there were two other factors that predicted the higher levels of oxytocin. The first was that the owners were more likely to consider their relationship with their dogsto be pleasurable. The second was a lower frequency in giving treats, which shows that the path to tru

36、e love is not necessarily through a dogs stomach.In a separate study by Johannes Odendaal and colleagues from the University of Pretoria in South Africa, owners were brought into a room that was empty except for two tables and chairs. The owners sat on a rug on the floor with their dogs and a nurse

37、drew their blood. For the next 30 minutes, each owners attention was completely focused on his or her dog. They talked softly to their dogs, touched them gently and scratched their bodies and behind their ears. The participants blood was drawn again after 30 minutes.The researchers found that partic

38、ipants blood pressure decreased, and they experienced an increase in not only oxytocin, but also a whole other range of hormones, including the ones that promote bonding associated with parenting behavior.When each dog owner came in and read a book for 30 minutes, oxytocin and the other hormones did

39、 not increase as much as they did during interactionswith their dogs. What is even more amazing is that not only did humans experience a rise in these hormones the dogs did, too. Humanitys relationship with dogs is so extraordinary that it affects humans very biochemistry. Scientistsare only beginni

40、ng to understand themechanisms, and the implications will keep psychologists busy for many years to come. 61. We can infer from the passage that people with higher oxytocin levels are more _.A. sensitiveB. sensibleC. cheerfulD. loving62. According to the passage, dog owners oxytocin levels can most

41、probably be raised when theyre _.A. glancing at their dogsB. feeding their dogs regularlyC. keeping their dogs companyD. kissing their dogs frequently63. The study by Johannes Odendaal and his colleagues proves that _.A. drawing the owners blood makes them focused on their dogsB. the owners and the

42、dogs share the influences of their interactionsC. the bond between two different species helps reduce blood pressureD. dogs company increases the owners other hormones except oxytocin64. The underlined word “mechanisms” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_”.A. processesB. applicationsC.

43、 restrictionsD. explanationsDSmart devices are sometimes empowering. They put a world of information at our fingertips. They free people to work from home instead of squeezing onto a train with smelly strangers. That is a huge benefit for parents seeking flexible working hours. Smartphones and table

44、ts can also promote efficiency by allowing people to get things done in spare moments that would otherwise be wasted, such as while queuing for coffee. They can even help slackers create the false idea that they are working around the clock, by programming their e-mail to be sent at 1am.But for most

45、 people the servant has become the master. Not long ago only doctors were on call all the time. Now everybody is. Bosses think nothing of invading their employees free time. Work invades the home far more than domestic work invade the office. People check their smartphones obsessively, even during p

46、re-dinner drinks, and send e-mails first thing in the morning and last thing at night.This is partly because smartphones are addictive: when Martin Lindstrom, a branding master, tried to identify the ten sounds that affect people most powerfully, he found that a shaking phone came third, after the I

47、ntel ringing sound and a giggling (咯咯笑的) baby. BlackBerrys and iPhones provide stimuli(鼓励之物) mixed with rewards. Whenever you check the glowing rectangle, there is a fair chance you will see a message from a client, a mail from your boss or at least an e-mail from a Nigerian gentleman offering you $1m if you share your bank details with him. Smartphones are the best excuse yet created for procrastination(拖延). How many people can honestly s
