12、e,etc.But what effect does your personality have on your longevity(长寿）？Are there any kinds of personalities contributing to longer lives?A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at these questions by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who

13、had lived to be at least 100.According to the study,those who live the longest are more outgoing,more active and less neurotic(神经质的）than other people.Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span.These findings are in agreement with what

14、you I would expect from the evolutionary theory:those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.Interestingly,however,other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live l

15、onger.Those who were more self-disciplined,for instance,were no more likely to live to be very old.Also,being open to new ideas had no relationship to Jong life,which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their way.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an

16、 adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate.But the new paper suggests that if you want long life,you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately,another recent study shows that your mothers personality may also help determine your longevity.That study looked at nearly

17、 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious,depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets.Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when were adults,which may mean that kids depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isnt destiny,a

18、nd everyone knows that individuals can learn to change.But both studies show that long life isnt just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.1、The purpose of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is .Ato see whether peoples personality affects their life spa

19、n Bto find out if ones lifestyle has any effect on their health Cto investigate the role of exercise in living a long life Dto examine all the factors contributing to longevity 2、What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?AThey have a good understanding of evolution.BThey are b

20、etter at negotiating an agreement.CThey generally appear more resourceful.DThey are more likely to get over hardship.3、What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?AEasy-going people can also live a relatively long life.BAdvantageous personality characteristics actually vary

21、 with times.CSuch characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.DReadiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.4、What is the main idea of this passage?AAnxiety and depression cut ones life span short.BLongevity results from mental and physical health.CPersonality plays a d

23、a smartphones camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and convert them into letters,words and sentences.For people suffering from ALS（渐冻症）,also known as motor neurone disease,eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.“Current eye-tracking input

24、 systems for people with ALS or other motor impairments are expensive,not robust under sunlight,and require frequent re-calibration and considerable,relatively immobile setups,”said Xiaoyi Zhang,a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.“To mitigate the drawbackswe created GazeSpeak,an

25、eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone,and is designed to be low-cost,robust,portable and easy to learn.”The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker.A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine wh

26、ich eye movements to make in order to communicate.The sticker shows four grids of letters,which each correspond to a different eye movement.By looking up,down,left or right,the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to.The artificial intelligence algorithm is then able to predict t

30、d a way to communicate 23（8 分）Meet big brother Blue and his sisters Meadow and Little Willow,a family of three blind cats that just got adopted by the family Catherine Magno.Their story starts just before the Christmas of 2014 when the kittens（小猫）were found in an abandoned house in Dubai.By then the

31、y had already lost their sight due to a cat flu that was left untreated by their previous（先前的）owner.After that they came to an animal home.At some point,brother Blue almost got adopted by the previous owners neighbor,but the poor confused cat couldnt bear living without his sisters and cried all nig

32、ht while searching for them.Soon they were all united in the animal home until the important night of 19 February 2015,when Catherine took them under her wing.I had zero experience having adopted my first ever rescue kitten just a couple of months ago,Catherine said.But their story touched my heart

33、so much that I couldnt bear the thought of them being put in a cage for a very long time or even worse.Catherine was worried about the special needs of her new pet friends:“My worry was that its going to not only be challenging but also require a lot of adjustments on my part,”but apparently it wasn

34、t that much different.“The only adjustment early on was keeping everything where it was but they are soon adaptive（适应的）.”And as she wonderfully put it:“Blind pets see through their hearts.1、What caused the three cats to be blind according to the passage?ABecause of a certain kind of disease.BBecause

35、 of a serious car accident.CBecause of some bad persons hurting them.DThe passage didnt mention it.2、What does the underlined word them mean in Paragraph 2?AThe owner and his neighbor.BMeadow and Little Willow.CCatherine Magno and her family.DAll the other blind pets in the animal home.3、What kind o

37、20-year follow-up research found that those brought up in the kangaroo method scored higher in IQ tests and earned 53%more.They were also found to be less likely to have behavior problems than babies in a control group.Followers of the method nest their kids in a“kangaroo”position on their chest as

38、soon as possible after birth.Both mother and baby are supposed to go home as quickly as possible.The technique is often used in cases of premature birth(早产).In such cases,the trained mother acts as the childs main source of stimulation(刺激)and food,in the form of breast feeding.Between 1993 and 1996,

39、a group of more than 700 prematurely born babies in Columbia were,on the basis of random selection,placed either away from mother or were raised using the kangaroo method.Two decades later,a follow-up survey funded by the Canadian Government has shown that those who went through the latter method be

40、nefited by comparison.Published in the journal Paediatrics,the research shows that kangaroo mothering offered significant protection against early death,with a 3.5%death rate compared to a 7.7%rate in the control group.IQ test also showed a small but significant advantage of 3.5%compared to other in

41、fants.Lead researcher Dr Nathalie Charpak,of the Kangaroo Foundation in Bogota,said the method has“significant,long-lasting social and behavioral protective effects”.“We firmly believe that this is a powerful,efficient,scientifically based healthcare intervention that can be used in all settings,fro

42、m those with very restricted to unrestricted access to healthcare.”The study also found that,compared with babies in the control group,those raised in the kangaroo method went on to develop bigger brains,with significantly larger volumes of gray matter.1、According to the passage,what is“kangaroo mot

43、hering”?AMothers trying their best to improve their babies IQs.BMothers raising their babies in bags like kangaroos.CMothers staying in touch with their babies early and constantly.DMothers breastfeeding their babies instead of using milk powder.2、The underlined word“infants”in Paragraph 5 probably

44、means _.Achildren Bkangaroos Cparents Dresearchers 3、What is Dr Nathalie Charpaks attitude toward Kangaroo mothering?ASceptical.BNeutral.CDisapproving.DSupportive.4、This passage shows that Kangaroo mothering can _.Agive children bigger heads Bbenefit childrens brain growth Creduce the number of prem

46、The QR Code system originated in Japan.The engineer Masahiro Hara felt the limitation of the one-dimension barcode in use and thus developed the QR codes which could carry data horizontally and vertically.QR codes could hold much more information than barcode due to their extra dimension.In addition

47、,QR codes have larger data capacity,smaller printout size and higher resistance to dirt and damage,which make them widely applied in many other applications.Though the technology of QR codes is complicated,we can easily create our own QR codes with the help of QR code generators,many of which are av

48、ailable online for free.Users could enter the data they wish the QR code to display,and the generator turns it into a symbol that can be printed or displayed in electronic form.The process of creating QR codes could be really fun when we customise the design of the codes according to our specific ne

49、eds.For instance,we can adjust the color,add a logo,and create social options etc.Moreover,dynamic(动态的)QR codes are also available.They are more various than standard QR codes because they allow users to edit data entered previously whereas data in standard QR codes cannot be edited once printed.Plu

50、s,dont limit your QR code to one mobile scanner.Anyone can scan your code with any reader.A lower barrier to entry makes success more likely for you and the user.Meanwhile,we must also recognize the vulnerability of QR codes.Due to its easy access,criminals can steal simply by replacing the QR codes
