12、employees a new convenience:a microchip implanted(植入)in their hands.Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands.Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free.Each chip costs$300 and Three Square Market will pay for t

13、he chip.Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands.About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so.The president of the company,his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.The chip is about the size of a grain of rice.Implanting the chip only

14、 takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly.The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger.With a chip in the hand,a person can enter the office building,buy food,sign into computers and more,simply by waving that hand near a scanner.The chips will be also used to ident

15、ify employees.Employees who want convenience,but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin,can wear a wristband(腕带)or a ring with a chip instead.They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.Three Square Market is the first company in th

16、e United States to offer to implant chips in its employees.Epicenter,a company in Sweden,has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees.The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them.“Th

21、at a colleague has been given a bigger one.Indeed,if he has a reputation for slacking,you might even be outraged.Such behaviour is regarded as“all too human,”with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance(不满,不平).But a study by Sarah

22、 Brosnan and Frans de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta,Georgia,which has just been published in Nature,suggests that it is all too monkey,as well.The researchers studied the behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys.They look cute.They are good-natured,co-operative creatures,and they share their

23、 food readily.Above all,like their female human counterparts,they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of“goods and services”than males.Such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr.Brosnans and Dr.de Waals study.The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange

24、 tokens for food.Normally,the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for slices of cucumber.However,when two monkeys were placed in separate but adjoining chambers,so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock,their behaviour became markedly different.In

25、the world of capuchins,grapes are luxury goods(and much preferable to cucumbers).So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token,the second was reluctant to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber.And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all,

26、the other either tossed her own token at the researcher or out of the chamber,or refused to accept the slice of cucumber.Indeed,the mere presence of a grape in the other chamber(without an actual monkey to eat it)was enough to induce resentment(愤恨)in a female capuchin.The researchers suggest that ca

27、puchin monkeys,like humans,are guided by social emotions.In the wild,they are a co-operative,group-living species.Such cooperation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated.Feelings of righteous indignation(愤慨),it seems,are not the preserve of people alone.Refusing a

28、 lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly clear to other members of the group.However,whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans,or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago,is,as yet,an unanswered question

29、.388、In the opening paragraph,the author introduces his topic by _.Amaking a comparison Bjustifying an assumption Cmaking a conclusion Dexplaining a phenomenon 1、The statement“it is all too monkey”(Last line,Paragraph I)implies that _.Aresenting unfairness is also monkeys nature Bmonkeys are also ou

30、traged by slack rivals Cmonkeys,like humans,tend to be jealous of each other Dno animals other than monkeys can develop such emotions 2、Dr.Brosnan and Dr.de Waal have eventually found in their study that the monkeys _.Aprefer grapes to cucumbers Bwill not be co-operative if feeling cheated Ccan be t

31、aught to exchange things Dare unhappy when separated from others 3、What can we infer from the last paragraph?AMonkeys can be trained to develop social emotions.BCooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild.CAnimals usually show their feelings openly as humans do.DHuman indignation evolv

32、ed from an uncertain source.23（8 分）The advent of warm weather here in Maine calls for a seasonal ritual that,for me,puts an end to winterfetching the wooden screen door.Note that I wrote“wooden”.The aluminum models just wont do itthey close too neatly and keep their perfect form for decades.In the 1

33、960s,a time of imperfection,there was no perfect house,no perfect car,no perfect kids or parents.Why should a screen door be an exception?I grew up with my siblings in a working-class neighborhood in New Jersey.When the warm weather arrived,my dad would pull out the wooden screen door and install it

34、 over the back door,which could then be left wide open,admitting a refreshing breeze(we had no air conditioning).My father was a Mr.Fix-it,so keeping the screen door serviceable was one of his hobbies.Every few years he gave it a fresh coat of paint and fixed it a bit.I distinctly remember him putti

35、ng the last screw in the last hinge(铰链),and swinging the door shut with a“crack!”A good,wooden screen door,unsightly as it was,had an invaluable function in the age of the stay-at-home mom:It alerted her to the coming and going of the kids.My siblings,and my friends ran in and out of the house,teari

36、ng the screen door open and letting it slap shut behind us.A hundred times a day.It was all good,and my mom never complained about the noise,because that was the purpose of a wooden screen doorto slam shut and thereby announce that her children were within earshot.Several years ago,in a fit of nosta

37、lgia(怀旧),I went shopping for a wooden screen door.I was disappointed in the choices available.They looked a bit too solid,too well made.But I found one online,and within a week it was delivered to my doorstep.The firm had sent me one with the wrong dimensions,so I asked my carpenter to make the nece

38、ssary adjustments.Ozzie worked away at it for a couple of hours until he got it to sit neatly in its frame.I gave it a test:I pulled it open and let go.It closed in a lazy fashion.“Not good,”I pronounced.“Please remove the automatic door closer and adjust the door so it swings shut with a good crack

39、.”Ozzie went about his work and a short while later the task was done.The door was uneven in its frame,and the screen no longer lay flat.But when I pulled open the door and released it,the thing clapped shut like a rifle shot.“What do you think?”I asked.“It looks like hell,”said Ozzie.“But it sounds

40、 like heaven,”I said.And I,being the owner of the doorand the memoryhad the final word.1、What particular function did the wooden screen door perform in the writers childhood?AIt functioned as an air conditioner in summer.BIt helped sharpen his fathers repairing skills.CIt was more like a toy that ki

41、ds often played with.DIt made Mom aware that the kids were close by.2、The reason why the writer asked the carpenter to continue to adjust the door is that _.Athe door was not the right size for the frame Bthe door was poorly made that it didnt suit him Che wanted to see how the door was supposed to

42、shut Dhe was determined to seize the ownership of the door 3、What does the wooden screen door mean to the writer now?AIt is a reminder of the imperfect things.BIt is a symbol of his memory of summer.CIt is a contributor to the better life he leads.DIt is an antique worth cherishing in the museum.4、W

44、lood pressure.The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart,crossing one leg over the other increases resistance,making it even harder for the blood to circulate.This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the

45、blood back to the heart.You wont feel any immediate effects,but if you sit for long periods of time its important that you take note of how long you have your legs crossed for.You shouldnt have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes,and its important that you get up and walk around at least once

46、 every hour.Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain.Ideally,its best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat,hip width apart,on the floor,but its not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office.When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position

47、,which can cause one of your pelvic bones to rotate.Since your pelvic bone supports your neck and spine,this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get tingly or have the fee

48、ling of being asleep.This is because when one leg sits on top of the other it causes pressure on the veins and nerves in your legs and feet.It can cause numbness and/or temporary paralysis in the legs,ankles,or feet.While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two,repeatedly crossing yo
