1.We might love to tell others about our unusual experiences.For example,we climbed a high
mountain,tasted a rare food,or ran into a superstar on the street.But new research suggests that sharing these unusual experiences may not be welcomed in conversation.
We all like unusual experiences,and always can't wait to share them with our friends.Some
people even thought that having an unusual experience would make them the star of the conversation.
However,it was wrong.To be unusual means to be different from other people.And if you do not share similarities with the people around you,they will not welcome you in the conversation.Besides,conversations always seem to go well on more usual topics.
To find out,psychologists(心理學家)invited 68participants(參與者)to come to the lab in groups of four.In each group,one watched a wonderful video of a magic performance,while the other three watched a cartoon video.After watching the videos,the participants sat around a table and had a short conversation.
The participants who watched the magic performance said they felt worse after the conversation than those who watched the cartoon video.That was because they felt left out during the conversation.
This finding suggests that we might want to give more thought in choosing which experiences to share with others.If an experience turns you into someone who has nothing in common with others,then no matter how good it was,it will not make you happy.

53.What kind of topic can make conversations go well?Usual topics
54.Why did psychologists do such an experiment(實驗)?Because they want to find out if usual topics can make conversations go well
55.Would you like to share your unusual experiences with your friends?Why or why not?.Yes,because I want to be the star of the conversation./No,because I don't want to feel left out..

分析 我們可能會喜歡告訴別人我們不尋常的經(jīng)歷,例如,我們爬得很高的山.嘗到了一種罕見的食物,或在街上遇到了一個超級明星,但新的研究表明,分享這些不尋常的經(jīng)歷可能在談話中時不受歡迎的.
我們都喜歡不尋常的經(jīng)歷,并總是迫不及待地與我們的朋友分享他們.
人們甚至認為有一個不尋常的經(jīng)歷會使他們成為對話之星.
然而,這是錯誤的,不尋常的意思是不同于其他人,如果你不與周圍的人分享你的相似之處,他們在談話中將不歡迎你,此外,談話似乎在常見的話題上才進行得好.
為了調(diào)查這些,心理學家邀請了68個參與者參加四組實驗,每一組里,一個人看一個魔術表演的精彩視頻,而其他三個人看卡通視頻.觀看影片后,參與者圍坐在一張桌子旁,有一個簡短的對話.
觀看魔術表演的人說,他們談話后,他們比那些看了卡通視頻的人感覺更糟,這是因為他們覺得在談話中感覺被遺棄了.
這一發(fā)現(xiàn)表明,我們可能在選擇哪些經(jīng)歷與別人分享方面有想給出更多的想法.如果一個經(jīng)歷把你變成一個和別人沒有什么共同語言人,那么不管它有多好,它也不會讓你快樂.

解答 53.Usual topics.細節(jié)理解題.結合題干意思:哪種話題使對話進行的好:根據(jù)文章Besides,conversations always seem to go well on more usual topics.此外,談話似乎在常見的話題上才進行得好.可知在常見的話題上對話進行的好,故答案為:Usual topics.
54.Because they want to find out if  usual  topics can make conversations go well.細節(jié)理解題.結合題干意思:為什么心理學家要做這個實驗?用why提問的句子必須用because回答,根據(jù)文章Besides,conversations always seem to go well on more usual topics.此外,談話似乎在常見的話題上才進行得好.這是作者提出的一個觀點,下一句To find out,psychologists(心理學家)invited 68participants(參與者)to come to the lab in groups of four為了調(diào)查這些,心理學家邀請了68個參與者參加四組實驗,就是為了證明提出的觀點,即:為什么談話似乎在常見的話題上才進行得好,故答案為:Because they want to find out if  usual  topics can make conversations go well 因為他們想要證明為什么常見的話題使對話進行的好.
55.Yes,because I want to be the star of the conversation./No,because I don't want to feel left out.推理判斷題. 題干意思:你愿意把不普通的話題分享給朋友嗎,為什么愿意/不愿意?這個問題答案不唯一,可以是yes,也可以是no.根據(jù)文章Some people even thought that having an unusual experience would make them the star of the conversation.人們甚至認為有一個不尋常的經(jīng)歷會使他們成為對話之星,可以作為yes的原因;That was because they felt left out during the conversation.這是因為他們覺得在談話中感覺被遺棄了,這是答案no不想把不普通的話題分享給朋友的原因.

點評 本文是一篇記敘文文章.做題時要在理解好文意的基礎上,與題目有機的結合,從文章中找到相關細節(jié)性的句子與選項細細比對,進行選擇或推理判斷,選出符合文章內(nèi)容的正確選項.做題注意靈活,有時可采用排除法或直選法確定出最終答案.

On May 23, Shenzhen introduced tough new rules in order to discourage the “Chinese style of crossing the road”. “Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd,” said a post on Sina Weibo.

A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.

Many people say that they jaywalk (亂穿馬路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore (忽視) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.

However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,” someone wrote on his Weibo.

Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.

But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案,并將其標號填入題前括號內(nèi)。

1.Which of the following is the “Chinese style road crossing”?

A. To cross a road slowly.

B. To follow the basic traffic rules.

C. To wait for the traffic light to turn green.

D. To cross roads without looking at traffic lights.

2.What does the phrase “the team” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. A CCTV news program.

B. A research group at Tongji University.

C. A post on Sina Weibo.

D. A daily newspaper.

3. How long will Chinese people wait for to cross the road before they lose patience?

A. About five minutes.

B. Less than one minute.

C. Less than one and a half minutes.

D. More than ten minutes.

4.Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on SinaWeibo?

A. Because people don’t pay much attention to rules.

B. Because there are too many people on the road.

C. Because the red light lasts too long.

D. Because people have less patience.

5.The writer suggests that we should __________ to solve the problem of jaywalking.

A. punish the jaywalkers

B. reduce (減少) the time of red lights

C. ignore the traffic rules

D. call on people to obey the traffic rules

16.Sometimes,you feel down or unhappy and it is hard to come back to your high spirit.So if you're having a bad day and need a boost,then help is just a click away.
A website is trying to offer people positive(積極的)messages from strangers to cheer them up.It announces to be"the nicest place on the Internet",where happy people can present their positive thoughts and feelings to those who are in low spirits.
The website,thenicestplaceontheinter.net,lets people post videos of themselves blowing kisses and leaving positive and encouraging messages to lift visitors'spirits.
The website was created by Jeff Lam and is considered to help many people out when they feel low.The well-known artist who lives in San Francisco said he came up with the idea when he and his friend Lauren were having one of those bad days.
"We tried to become cheerful,but none of the usual methods seemed to be working.Not music.Not food.What we hoped was something positive,honest and good.So with only a camera and work-free weekend,we created'The Nicest Place on the Internet'."he explained on his website.
One user of the site,Joseph Meehan,27,from Birmingham,said,"It's a fun and exciting website.I visit every once in a while when I'm missing my friends or family.I think it could really be a help to people that are feeling down or sad.It may even stop them from doing something stupid.You can also post your video to the website,and they add it to the series.It's very easy to share the love."
Mr.Lam is now working on a new project that allows people to leave positive voicemails for strangers.The idea is that strangers send an audio(聲音)diary by leaving a voicemaiⅠand then anyone can listen to it.
53.Who created the website?Jeff Lam created the website
54.How does the website help unhappy people?By offering people positive messages from strangers
55.If you feel down,will you visit the website?Why or why not?Yes,I will.Because It's a fun and exciting website.It could really be a help to people that are feeling down or sad..
