10、anate of Oman,which he held in the air at the North Pole,becoming the first Arab to achieve this impressive feat(壮举).On the way to the North Pole,Nabil was driven by the reward of success and the pain at the thought of failure.“Through the 20-whatever days,every minute there was a different thing th

11、at kept me going,either the fear of failure,the fear of dying or the reward of finishing and getting somewhere warm.”The ever-present cold,averaging around-40 but dropping as low as a recorded-81,is his overriding(首要的)memory of the experience.As an Omani,Nabil had an additional 20 drop in temperatur

12、e to get used to,compared to his British teammates.Apart from the extreme cold,polar bears were a common feature of the journey,and Nabil and the team had their fair share of bear encounters.“Polar bears are dangerous,but they are not that threatening because they don t intend to harm humans.They re

13、 usually either curious or just don t care.We saw five bears,and none were aggressive,”said Nabil.One final problem Nabil faced was the stress put on team relations by the severity of the conditions,especially during the first three stages of the journey.However,during the fourth and final leg,the t

17、t types of solid waste by the end of this year as part of a campaign to deal with environmental pollution and protect people s health.In response to growing public concern over the potential environmental and health danger caused by the increasing amounts of solid waste imported into the country for

18、 recycling and treatment,China passed a special law in 1995 to control imports of waste materials,such as plastics,slag from steelmaking,unsorted scrap paper and discarded textile materials.A year later,the country published a list for solid waste imports and began implementing a permit system to co

19、ntrol the import volumes and types of waste imported.However,due to the lack of effective supervision(监 管)and the failure of relevant departments to fulfill their duties,solid waste imports have not been effectively controlled.So far,China is the world s largest importer of solid waste.According to

20、the Ministry of EnvironmentalProtection,China imported 7.3 million metric tons of plastic waste worth$3.7 billion in 2016,accounting for 56 percent of global imports of solid waste.Correct recycling of solid waste materials is an important part of the global economy,and moderate imports of scrap pla

21、stic,scrap paper and scrap rubber products,such as vehicle tires,can to some extent,make up for Chinas shortage of various raw materials.However,the lack of supervision has resulted in the country s severe soil and environmental worsening.Given that China s continuing efforts to push for industrial

26、orted waste can relieve the urgent need for raw materials.D According to a new study,teens focus on rewards and have a hard time learning to avoid punishment or consider the consequences of alternative actions.University College London researchers compared how teens and adults learn to make choices

27、based on the available information.They tracked the way in which 18 volunteers aged 12-17 and 20 volunteers aged 18-32 completed tasks in which they had to choose between abstract symbols.Each symbol was consistently associated with a fixed chance of a reward,punishment,or no outcome.As the trial pr

28、ogressed,participants learned which symbols were likely to lead to each outcome and adjusted their choices accordingly.Teens and adults were equally good at learning to choose symbols associated with reward,but teens were less good at avoiding symbols associated with punishment.Adults also performed

29、 significantly better when they were told what would have happened if they had chosen the other symbol after each choice,while teens did not appear to take this information into account.“From this experimental lab study we can draw conclusions about learning during the teen years.We find that teens

30、and adults learn in different ways,something that might be relevant to education,said lead author Dr.Stefano Palminteri.”Unlike adults,teens are not so good at learning to adjust their choices to avoid punishment.This suggests that incentive systems based on reward rather than punishment may be more

31、 effective for this age group.Additionally,we found that teens did not learn from being shown what would have happened if they made alternative choices.To interpret the results,the researchers developed computational models of learning and ran simulations(模拟)applying them to the results of the study

32、.The first was a simple model,one learned from rewards,and the second model added to this by also learning from the option that was not chosen.The third model was the most complete and took the full context into account,with equal weight given to punishment avoidance and reward seeking.For example,o

33、btaining no outcome rather than losing a point is weighted equally to gaining a point rather than having no outcome.Comparing the experimental data to the mode ls,the team found that teens behavior followed the simple reward-based model while adults behavior matched the complete,contextual model.“Ou

34、r study suggests that teens are more receptive to rewards than they are to punishments of equal value,”said senior author Dr.Sarah-Jayne Blakemore.“As a result,it may be useful for parents and teachers to frame things in more positive terms.”32.What can be learned from the study?A.Adults made choice

35、s faster than teens.B.Adults understood rewards better than teens.C.Teens reacted better to reward than punishment.D.Teens were aware of the outcome of each choice.33What do we know about the computational models?A.They reflected people s strong desire for punishment avoidance.B.They shaped the beha

36、vior of people at different ages.C.They paid equal attention to reward and punishment.D.Teens behavior matched the model that learns from rewards.34.What s the probable meaning of the underlined word“receptive?A.Accustomed B.Opposed C.Sympathetic D.Responsive 35According to the writer,which of the f

37、ollowing statements works best for teens?A.“If you insist on doing things in this way,you will lose ten points.”B.“If we had talked about this earlier,you wouldn t have made themistake.”C.“If you hand in your assignment ahead of time,you will get an extra bonus.”D.“If you want to approach a problem

39、ction.36 Intentionally choose it.Gratitude will never be a result of your next purchase,success,or accomplishment.37 And you will never find it in life until you intentionally decide to choose it.Count your blessings.A new day,a warm bed,a unique personality,or a special talent.38 Gratitude quickly

40、sets in when we begin to spend a quiet moment each day remembering them.This practice alone has the potential to change your heart and life immeasurably.39 Almost half the world live on less than$2.50 a day.1.1 billion people have inadequate access to clean water.Let those facts sink in for just a m

41、oment and slowly allow gratitude and a desire to become part of the solution to take their place.Find gratitude in difficulty.40 It can be more difficult during the trials of life:death,disease,or failure.The truth is that no one is exempt(豁免)from the sufferings.However,good can be found even in the
