Nowhere To Hide: What Machines Can Tell From Your Face
The human face is a remarkable piece of work. 67 So is the face’s ability to send emotional signals, whether
through the unconscious shame or the trick of a false smile. People spend much of their waking lives, in the office and
the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom, reading faces, for signs of attraction, hostility, trust and deceit. They
also spend plenty of time trying to hide their feelings, intentions or nature.
68 In America facial recognition is used by churches to track worshippers’ attendance; in Britain, by retailers
to spot past shoplifters. This year Welsh police used it to arrest a suspect outside a football game. In China it confirms
the identities of ride-hailing drivers, permits tourists to enter attractions and lets people pay for things with a smile.
Apple’s new iPhone is expected to use it to unlock the homescreen.
Set against human skills, such applications might seem enhancive. Some breakthroughs, such as flight or the
internet, obviously transform human abilities. 69 Although faces are peculiar to individuals, they are also public,
so technology does not, at first sight, intrude on something that is private. And yet the ability to record, store and analyse
images of faces cheaply, quickly and on a vast scale promises one day to bring about fundamental changes to notions of
privacy, fairness and trust.
70 Masking true feelings helps fix the wheels of daily life. If your partner can spot every prohibited yawn,
and your boss every hint of annoyance, marriages and working relationships will be more truthful, but less harmonious.
The basis of social interactions might change, too, from a set of commitments founded on trust to calculations of risk and
reward derived from the information a computer attaches to someone’s face. Relationships might become more
reasonable, but also transactional.

B. Research show that artificial intelligence can reconstruct the facial structures of people.
C. Anyone with a phone can take a picture for facial-recognition programs to use.
D. Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces.
E. Continuous facial recording that paints computerized data onto the real world might change the texture of social
interactions.
F. The astonishing variety of facial features helps people recognize each other and is crucial to the formation of
complex societies.2、2019 普陀一模
A. There are five reasons for the accident and you are guilty.
B. Every year thousands of people are horribly killed, and we sit still and let it happen.
C. Surprisingly, society should smile at the driver and forgive him.
D. Someone has rightly said that when a person is sitting behind the steering wheel, his car becomes an
extension of his personality.
E. All advertisements that emphasize power and performance should be banned.
F. It is time to develop a universal norm to reduce this senseless waste of human life.
Traffic Regulations and Accident Prevention
We live in a remarkable time, and many of the once fatal diseases can now be cured with modern medicine and
surgery. It is almost certain that one day a cure will be found for the rest of the diseases. Expectations of life have greatly
increased. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the
incredible killing of men, women and children on the roads. Man fights against the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle
which man is losing. (67) ________________________
Nothing can seriously increase your risk of potentially fatal car accidents other than speeding and failing to pay due
attention to weather conditions. (68) ________________________ There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out
a man’s very worst qualities. Usually quiet and pleasant people, when they are behind the steering wheel, will become
unrecognizable. They are impolite, aggressive, self-willed like two-year-olds, completely selfish. All their hidden
frustrations, disappointments, and jealousy seem to be caused by driving.
(69) __________________________ It’s all for his own convenience. Due to a serious tragedy, the city is almost
uninhabitable and the huge parking lot makes the town ugly. The destruction of rural areas and the annual mass killings
are just a statistic, easily forgotten. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are not strict and even the strictest
are not strict enough.
Traffic rules are for everyone to follow under any circumstances, and no one can make an exception unless you
make a joke of your own life. Universally accepted standards can only have a significant beneficial effect on the
incidence of accidents. Governments should develop safety codes for manufacturers. (70) _________________________
These measures may sound cruel. However, if these measures result in a reduction in the loss of life every year, they
should certainly not be considered serious. After all, the world belongs to humans, not cars.

A. These questions may well get clearer and clearer during the process of academic writing.
B. The introduction should function as the hook which draws the reader in and holds his attention.
C. It is a formal skill, which requires precision and accuracy, and is perfected by continuous and dedicated practice.
D. If one is hesitant to answer even one of the aforementioned questions, one had better not write at all!
E. It may take one a considerable period of time to know the skills of academic writing, even long after his/her
college graduation.
F. It is a time-consuming activity and demands patience and perseverance.
The art of academic writing is not easy to master. (67) _____________________________________ Academic
writing is the skilful exposition and explanation of an argument, which the writer has carefully researched and developed
over a sustained period of time. (68) __________________________________ But the joy of reading and sharing with
others, one’s succinctly composed piece of argument, is incomparable.
Before beginning to write, the writer must ask himself a few questions – Why am I writing? What is it that I intend
to share with others? What purpose will my writing serve? Have I read enough about the topic or theme about which I
am going to write? (69) ________________________________________ Because academic writing is a serious
activity – it makes one part of a shared community of readers and writers who wish to disseminate and learn from
well-argued pieces of writing.
The structure of an argumentative essay should take the form of – Introduction (which should be around ten percent
of the entire essay), Body (it should constitute eighty percent of the piece) and the Conclusion (again, ten per cent of the
essay). (70) ______________________________________ The body should include cogent and coherently linked
paragraphs and the conclusion should re-state the argument and offer a substantial ending to the piece.

A. Pronouns offer an insight into whether people see themselves as individuals or as part of a whole.
B. If you are speaking in a person context, you’re speaking about something that’s of relevance to you.
C. Their research also found that “we-talk” is helpful for resolving conflicts.
D. Self-centered people are found to be indifferent to many things in society and other people because all their
concentration is only on themselves and their needs.
E. This analysis of “we-talk” suggested that the frequent use of “we” and “us” is linked to happier and healthier
relationships.
F. They found that too much “I-talk” was an accurate linguistic marker for the likelihood that someone is feeling
stressed or experiencing negative emotions.
Building a lasting social relationship
We all know that friends are special people who we share our lives with, and who share their lives with us in return.
But seeking friends and keeping the friendship going are never easy.
According to research recently published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, the key is to use
“we-talk”.
Led by University of California psychologist Megan Robbins and her colleagues, the researchers reviewed and
analyzed 30 different studies involving over 5,000 participants. __________67__________
The word “we” moves people from an individual position into a partnership, which makes us more interdependent.
“__________68__________ Word use is a window into what people are thinking and feeling without asking them,”
Robbins told Science Daily.
__________69__________ The primary point is that interdependence may bring about supportive and
relationship-centered behaviors and positive perceptions of the partner – especially important in times of stress and
disagreement.
Contrary to “we-talk”, there is “I-talk”, which refers to the frequent use of first-person singular pronouns, such as
“I”, “me” and “mine”, when writing or speaking. Earlier this year, researchers analyzed a set of data that came from
4,700 people in Germany and the US. __________70__________ As you can see from the two studies, too much
“I-talk” can make you feel depressed. But “we-talk” can encourage you to become more positive and create a chain
effect of healthy interdependence with others.
So next time you’re talking to a friend, try using more “we-talk”. You may find yourself feeling more positive – and
the effect it will have on your friend will be positive as well.

A. It’s that long-term exposure that experts find most worrisome.
B. Car manufacturers are unaware of standards regulating air quality inside new cars.
C. This is when components are still unstable and tend towards what is called off-gassing.
D. Just reading a list of the substances is scary enough, and the danger of exposure is scarier still.
E. The source of the smell so many buyers find appealing is in the various substances used in car construction.
F. Fortunately, high concentrations of these compounds gradually disappear just a few months after manufacture.
Is New-car Smell Bad for Your Health?
The smell of a new car can be appealing in showrooms, for which there’s a good reason. That new car smell comes
from a mixture of chemicals, some of which can be highly poisonous.
67 Many of these contain volatile (挥发性的) organic compounds (VOCs), some of which can be deadly
in sufficient quantities. Others are just bad for you.
“It’s a chemical cocktail made up of lots of poisonous substances,” said Jeff Gearhart, Research Director of the
Ecology Center in the US state of Michigan. The Ecology Center has been monitoring and testing chemical levels in the
inside of the car for years, and has noted some improvement. But Gearhart says there is still work to be done.
“There are over 200 chemical compounds found in vehicles,” he said. “Since these chemicals are not regulated,
consumers have no way of knowing the dangers they face.”
68 Immediate symptoms can range from a sore throat to headaches, dizziness, etc., depending on the
sensitivity of an individual.
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, continued exposure to some of these can lead to
reproductive impacts and damage to some organs and central nervous system—or even cancer. 69
The danger is the greatest when the car is new, and that new car smell is most noticeable. 70 It is the release
of chemical vapours, which leads to the smell. Heat from a vehicle left in the sun can make matters worse, and speed up
the chemical reaction. The danger is reduced over time, and experts say the worst is usually over within about six
months.
Experts advise the best thing that buyers can do to limit exposure is to keep the inside of the car well ventilated (通
风的), especially during the first six months of ownership. Park in the shade with the windows open when it’s safe to do
so, or at least try to air it out before getting inside—especially on hot days.

Why I stopped worrying about my credit score?
If you believed everything you read about your credit score, you’d think it was the most important component of
your financial health. Without a good credit score and history, the experts say, it’s more difficult qualify for a mortgage
(按揭) or a car loan—and more expensive if you’re approved for a loan, too, because you won't get the best interest rates.
In many states, bad credit can even raise your insurance payments, cost you a rental apartment, or make it harder to get
hired. ___67_____
First off, there are several credit scores out there. While it's important to cultivate your credit scores by using credit
responsibly, your FICO credit score may not be the same as what VantageScore reports, and lenders may use a different
one entirely, so focusing on one score can be a fruitless exercise. More important as financial reporter Dave Ramsey
notes on his blog, your credit score is not a measure of your overall financial health. He writes: “____68___”
FICO, the most popular credit-scoring agency, users several weighted factors to determine your credit score,
including payment history (35 percent), amounts owed (30 percent), length of credit history (15 percent), new credit (10
percent), and credit mix (10 percent). 69 My husband and I enjoyed steady credit scores above 820 for a while.
But when we paid off one of our rental properties in 2017, we both saw our credit scores fall by 20 or more points. The
sudden drop took place because we completed a 15-year loan and reduced the average length of our credit history
tremendously. 70 That’s blackmail. I would rather be debt-free than have a perfect credit score.
Your credit score is certainly important when you’re starting out and likely to borrow money for a down payment
(首付) on a home or some other big purchase. But once you’re fairly established financially, it’s much easier to see it for
what it really is: a measure of how well you borrow money.
答案：FCDA

A. In other words, because we paid off and closed a line of credit, our scores took a hit.
B. It is always more important to know how much you are able to earn than to borrow.
C. All it tells you is whether you are good at borrowing money and paying it back.
D. Believe it or not, these standards allow you to be punished for becoming debt-free!
E. These are the reasons why I have stopped worrying about my credit score.
F. While all of that is true, it doesn’t tell the whole story.7、2019 松江一模
A. Bike tourism is on the rise in the United States and around the world, according to the Adventure Cycling
Association.
B. Slowly, you can see snapshots of people’s daily lives and interact with them.
C. Travelling alters your attitude towards the whole world.
D. What’s good for the heart is good for the brain, so riding and staying fit is sort of a priority in my life.
E. Traveling changes your view of money and what it can do for you.
F. Every time you make a roadside stop, you have the opportunity to meet people or see something new.
Travel the World by Bike
Rachel Hugens met her husband, Patrick, while bicycle touring. The Hugenses, who live in Boise, when not on their
bikes, recently went on their latest round-the-world adventure. They visited 36 countries on a tour, touching Europe,
Africa, Asia and South America.
“Traveling by bike is the ultimate freedom,” Rachel said via email. “On a bike, you become part of the scenery. The
landscape is not framed by a window. ____67____”
A growing community
Dennis Swift, secretary of the Southwest Idaho Mountain Biking Association, rode across the U.S last year–from
Seattle to Salem, Massachusetts. Six people started the tour and three finished, riding 52 out of 56 days. They averaged
about 60 miles per riding day.
“We took quite a few pictures; we didn’t keep our head down the whole way,” Swift said. “We got to meet different
people. It’s the people that are probably most important.” Swift also rode through the Basque Country with a group of
Boise cyclists last year. He’s planning to participate in a Virginia bike tour this year.
“When you get older, your health is the number one priority.” he said, “____68____”
Seeing the places in between
“Traveling by bicycle forces you to visit the places in between that many backpackers traveling by bus would pass
by,” Patrick said. “____69____” The challenges, beyond the obvious mental and physical energy required, include
navigating visa requirements, food choices, language barriers, poor riding surfaces and boxing bikes for air travel,
Rachel said.
Financial flexibility to travel
This is the third time that the couple has quit their jobs to tour. Rachel is a registered nurse; Patrick is an architect.
Both regained their former jobs when they returned home in 2000 and 2007. They’re uncertain what will happen this
time.
They’ve given themselves financial flexibility by paying off their home, commuting to work by bike and avoiding
some of the bills that are important parts for most (cell phones, cable TV). They travel with a $50 daily budget.
“____70____” Rachel said. “We’ve met some cyclists traveling long term on a $10 daily budget. They can travel as long
as their money lasts, so they’re motivated to spend wisely.”

A. Other people experience false guilt because of high expectations for themselves.
B. It's possible that you feel guilty because you actually did something wrong.
C. Others try to cover up their guilt by blaming others or becoming angry.
D. It can also motivate people to avoid making similar mistakes later.
E. In this case, it's important to remind yourself that you have limits.
F. Moreover, guilt can result in physical and mental discomforts meanwhile.
Guilt is one of the most painful emotions that humans experience but also one of the most common. Nobody enjoys
feeling guilty, but this emotion serves an important purpose: It alerts a person when he or she has done something wrong.
This enables the person to make amends and work to heal relationships that were damaged by their actions. 67
Nevertheless, guilt can be destructive if it is not dealt with in the right way. It can cause people to avoid others
because they are too embarrassed to apologize for their actions or inaction. Some try to avoid the pain of guilt by turning
to other worse habits. 68
The proper response to guilt depends on what kind of guilt you're dealing with. For false guilt, it's important to
recognize that the guilt does not reflect an actual ethical failure.
For example, some false guilt focuses on failing to meet expectations you had for yourself. 69 No
one is perfect, and no one can do everything, so admitting your limits is actually a sign of humility.
It's also important to acknowledge what you are feeling. Even when you don't need to feel guilty, these feelings are
real and normal. Try to balance them with positive thoughts, but realize that it often takes time for feelings to change.
70 If so, don't try to conceal it. Apologize and ask for forgiveness. Learn from your mistakes, and
try to avoid committing the same acts again. Getting on well with the person you hurt should make your guilty feelings
fade.
Guilt is painful, but it can serve a good purpose if you use it well.

A. An effective way that I have found to deepen my own patience is to create actual practice periods.
B. You are more easily annoyed and bothered.
C. It is generally believed that the quality of being patient is very difficult to develop.
D. Becoming more patient involves opening your heart to the present moment, even if you don't like it.
E. Without patience, you will see the same scene as an emergency complete with yelling, frustration, hurt feelings.
F. If you lack patience, you are destined to fail in what you are pursuing.
The quality of patience goes a long way toward your goal of creating a
more peaceful and loving self. The more patient you are, the more accepting you will be of what life is, rather than
insisting that life be exactly as you would like it to be. Without patience, life is extremely frustrating. (67)______
Patience adds some ease and acceptance to your life. It's important for inner peace.
(68)______ If you are stuck in a traffic jam, late for an appointment, being patient would mean keeping yourself
from building a mental snowball before your thinking gets out of hand and gently reminding yourself to relax. It might
also be a good time to breathe as well as an opportunity to remind yourself that, in the bigger scheme of things, being
late is "small stuff".
Patience is a quality of heart that can be greatly enhanced with deliberate practice. (69)______ They are the periods
of time that I set up in my mind to practice the art of patience. Life itself becomes a classroom, and the curriculum is
patience. You can start with as little as five minutes and build up your capacity for patience over time. What you'll
discover is truly amazing. Your intention to be patient, especially if you know it's only for a short while,
immediately strengthens your capacity for patience. Patience is one of those qualities where success feeds on itself. Once
you reach little milestone-five minutes of successful patience-you'll begin to see that you do indeed have the capacity to
be patient, even for longer periods of time. Over time, you may even become a patient person.
Being patient will help you to keep your perspective. You will see even a difficult situation, say your present
challenge, isn't "life or death" but simply a minor obstacle that must be dealt with. (70)______.

B. The general rule goes that the harder you try, the greater results you get.
C. Many old beliefs are being performed these days and are followed blindly.
D. It always takes tests and then fails us to learn anything worthwhile.
E. However, in most circumstances your effort and attempt go well alongside with your desired achievement.
F. But the price we pay to realize this is high because it takes a great amount of courage to follow your own path.
Life is not easy when you are looking for something worthwhile and ready to learn from the best experiences.
67 Here are some life lessons which people will learn the hard way in majority of cases.
68 However, people usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would. At
this time, people refer only to people who have already achieved what they want to do. Look at any successful person
and you’ll notice one thing common in all of them: they took time to learn and mastered their skill like no one else.
There is no elevator to success and you have to take the stairs.
Be brave to take the road less traveled. In our whole life, we always want to follow the same path that everyone
suggests, do the same thing everyone does, take the same career path everyone takes, wear the same clothes everyone
wears, and hang out with the same people we work with. Why? Because we are scared to fail. But when you get bored of
life, you realize that you are not meant to do what everyone does and that your destiny is different from anyone else’s out
there in the world. 69
You don’t have to live your life in a way society wants you to. 70 Parents sometimes force
their children to select a career they don’t want because other children have selected that career.Worst of all, people
follow them without even asking.There is no harm in believing in old beliefs but when you pursue them before your
interest, sooner or later you’ll realize that you should first do what you think is right.

A. BAT wanted to take action.
B. Those who gave more tended to gain less.
C. The data are ridiculous, and no one is really paying attention.
D. By nature, educators are taught to give care and support others — not themselves.
E. Although respected for its own sake, teaching is under suspicion in today’s world.
F. After all, self-care, good mental health, positive well-being is one of the single best things you can do for yourself.
We need to do more to help the teachers who are exhausted and stressed
Teaching should not be one of the most stressful jobs in the US. But it is. “The only other profession that comes
close to us for stress is nursing — and we still have the numbers… by a lot. ______67______”
“Nobody realizes how horrific working conditions are for teachers throughout the country,” Brice-Hyde says, an
experienced teacher in New York who is part of the national group Badass Teachers Association (BAT).
______68______ So they did a national study of teacher working conditions around issues like stress, work-life
balance, respect, and more. The results are both surprising — and not. If you’ve been seeing the stories about teacher
walkouts and pay inequality, you probably aren’t all that shocked to see these things like: 61 percent of educators find
work “always” or “often” stressful; 27 percent of educators said they’ve been threatened or bullied; 86 percent of
educators feel disrespected by US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.
Teachers are stressed out, and turnover is high. No wonder we’re seeing more stories about the importance of
self-care, classroom burnout, and mental health days for teachers. Yet, self-care doesn’t seem to come easily for people,
and this is definitely true for teachers. ______69______
We think it’s time to change that, though. So in honor of World Mental Health Day, we are working to change the
dialogue about teacher mental health. Below are some of the top challenges people give for not seeking therapy, or even
basic self-care, along with possible solutions and workarounds for each one.
We hope you share this article widely, giving support and love to your fellow educators. ______70______ And it’s
pretty much guaranteed to help you do what you set out to in the first place — be a good teacher.

A. They are even believed to possess some level of consciousness.
B. The creature instantly loses consciousness in half a second.
C. Legal prohibition becomes the major consideration for restaurants when choosing a cooking method.
D. Except for moral consideration, many chefs believe stress negatively affects the flavor of the meat.
E. It’s difficult to assess pain in other species because we cannot communicate as easily.
F. It beats the former method by saving chefs’ effort in cleaning the creature.
Until the 1980s, scientists were trained to ignore animal pain, according to the belief that the ability to feel pain was
associated only with higher consciousness. However, today, scientists view humans as a species of animals, and largely
accept that many species are capable of some level of self-awareness. People are coming to realize that other species
might also enjoy the luxury of emotion.
If you slap( 击 掌 ) another person in the face, you can estimate their pain level by what they do or say in
response,____67____Gradually, scientists have developed a set of indicators of pain response in non-human animals.
Demonstrating a response to a negative stimulation and displaying protective behavior of injured areas are two major
signs.
But huge disagreement exists. For example, scientists disagree over whether or not lobsters（龙虾）feel pain. Some
researchers argue lobsters are two dissimilar to vertebrates（脊椎动物）to feel pain. Nonetheless, lobsters do satisfy all
of the standards for a pain response. Lobsters guard their injuries, and learn to avoid dangerous
situations.____68_____In result, today most scientists agree that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.
Due to growing evidence that the lobsters may feel pain, it is now illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them on ice in
some countries. Currently, boiling lobsters alive is illegal in Switzerland and New Zealand. Even in locations where
boiling lobsters remains legal, many restaurants prefer more humane methods.___ 69___ To satisfy picky diners, more
restaurants rule out the cruel cooking methods. Stabbing a lobster in the head isn't a good option, as it neither kills the
lobster nor makes it unconscious.
Currently, the most humane tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun. This device electrocutes ( 电 击 ) a
lobster.___ 70___ The following process of cooking is sure to cause no pain. In contrast, it takes about 2 minutes for a
lobster to die from boiling water during which time pain lasts.

Help migrant workers
There is nothing like going home. More so if it is for the Spring Festival family reunion. For a migrant worker it
perhaps means even more. To be able to set out on a homeward journey with money from a year’s toil in his pocket is
the best thing he can think of. __67__. They had to press hard for their defaulted payments, the salaries that were failed
to pay up.
About 200 million migrant workers nationwide are something left behind by economic reforms and opening up due
to their contributions in the past three decades. It is almost impossible to imagine life in these places without them.
However, they still form a disadvantaged group. Their rights are violated in different forms. Among other things, unpaid
salaries are the most painful of such violations that are likely to drive a migrant worker to desperate actions. __68__.
__69__. They have taken measures to prevent employers from holding back payments to them. Yet, as the financial
crisis bites deep, some small enterprises that are struck the most try to reduce their economic losses by laying off migrant
workers or refusing to pay them. So it is particularly important for governments at all levels to do an even better job in
helping villager-turned-workers recover their unpaid salaries before the Spring Festival.
It is good news that quite a number of local governments have organized special taskforces to conduct inspections
in those labor-intensive enterprises to make sure they have paid their migrant workers in a timely and fair manner.
Construction commissions in almost all provinces have published hotlines for farmer-turned-construction workers to
lodge complaints against their employers for withholding their salaries. __70__. But we need to look for solutions that
will work at all times. We need to put in place a mechanism that will effectively prevent employers from holding back
salaries to workers.

Self-Care Strategies for College Students
Most college students don’t put self-care at the top of their to do lists. When you’re caught up in the whirlwind (旋
风) of classes, extra-curricular, work, friendship, and final exams, it’s easy to ignore a task that doesn’t come with a
deadline (even if that task is simply “taking care of yourself”). Embrace the excitement and intensity of college life, but
remember that maintaining your physical, mental, and emotional health is essential to your success and well-being. (67)
______ Instead, take time out to take care of yourself with some of these self-care strategies.
Get Away for Some Alone Time. If you live with roommates, privacy can be hard to come by, so make it your
mission to find a peaceful place on campus to call your own. (68) ______
Take a Mindful Walk Around Campus. When you’re strolling to class, try this mindfulness exercise to center
yourself and destress. (69) ______ Feel free to people-watch, but pay attention to sensory details too, like the smell of a
nearby barbecue or the sensation of pavement under your shoes. Take note of at least five beautiful or intriguing things
you notice along your route. You might find yourself feeling a little calmer by the time you reach your destination.
Stage a Sleep Intervention. How much sleep do you really get each night? (70) ______ By doing that, you’ll begin
the process of repaying your sleep debt and establishing healthy new sleep habits. Don’t buy into the myth that the less
you’re sleeping, the harder you’re working. Your mind and body need consistent sleep to operate at optimum levels –
you simply can’t do your best work without it.

E. The deal is a milestone for Shimmer in its goal to further spread its influence to the world.
F. Despite the huge success of Shimmer, the team is facing a limited market.
Shanghai Hengyuanxiang Drama Development Company and Netherlander Worldwide Entertainment signed a deal
last November that would see Shimmer (《犹太人在上海》) become the first Chinese musical to have an open-ended run
on Broadway in 2019.（67）
Directed by Xu Jun, Shimmer is a musical in both English and Chinese. Shimmer, which tells a story about Jews
who fled to Shanghai to escape Nazi persecution (迫害) during World War II, was first shown at the Shanghai Culture
Square in 2015. （68） The musical’s scheduled open-ended run in 2019 will be one of the events to
celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. With
this play being shown on Broadway, the ties between Chinese people and Americans will be firmly strengthened. And
through this drama, the audience can feel the charm of Chinese culture.
（69） To deal with the problem, many production companies in Shanghai have pointed out that
they should keep striving for improvement by creating more Chinese musicals and by creating more audiences.
Currently, those who watch Western musicals in China are limited to a small group — people who have received a
university education or have had overseas working experiences, white-collar and even gold-collar workers. There are
only a handful of people who understand foreign languages and you have to find a way to motivate the public and get
them into the theater.
（70） There has been a handful of successful musical stories in Shanghai. The Chinese editions of
Broadway musicals Cats and Mamma Mia, both of which had hundreds of shows across China, are among the top box
office hits.

A. She is perfectly made for doing what she does, it seems.
B. Adventurers are clearly different from the rest of us.
C. What she did was really beyond our imagination.
D. It seems that many adventurers spend their lives trying to live up to the image of a parent.
E. And most of us would prefer it to remain that way.
F. Many adventurers have amazed the world with their extraordinary skills.
Why do some people feel obliged to do the craziest things, while most of us are happy to sit on the sofa and watch
their exploits on TV? Robin Styles ponders (考虑) this question.
Generally, we love to watch someone’s bravery and drama—a single person against the wilds of nature, testing their
endurance beyond belief. And our pleasure is greater because we live a comfortable and increasingly risk-free life, where
the greatest test of endurance is getting to work through the rush hour. _____67____ However, there are countless ways
to test the limits of your endurance, if you should wish to do so, by attempting something unpleasant, uncomfortable or
just plain dangerous.
American Lynne Cox swims in sub-zero temperatures through the planet’s most dangerous oceans wearing only a
swimsuit—for fun! According to Lynne, there is always something driving her on. At age 9, when she was swimming in
an outdoor pool one day, a violent storm blew up, but she refused to get out of the pool. Something made her carry on.
Then she realized that, as the water got colder and rougher, she was actually getting faster and warmer, and she was
really enjoying it. At age 14, she broke her first endurance record. Years later, experts discovered that Lynne has a totally
even layer of body fat, like a seal. _____68____
The famous British explorer, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, has led many major expeditions (远征) in the extreme cold,
including walking right round the Arctic Circle. He has also led expeditions in the extreme heat, and discovered the Lost
City of Ubar in the Omani desert. _____69____ Sir Ranulph’s father was Commander in the British Army, and died just
before his son was born. Fiennes has said, “If I am getting weak, I find a very powerful way of conquering it is to know
that my father would have definitely done it.”
_____70____ There is probably no such thing as a ‘normal’ adventurer. Unsurprisingly, risk-takers tend to be
single-minded and unusually determined people who hate the stability and routine that most people prefer. They tend to
take risks for the ‘fun’ of it. The excitement becomes addictive, and they want more and more of it. Ordinary life seems
boring in comparison.
