Many years ago, I met a man whose unique psychology helped me to get away from a life of struggle and uneasiness for great happiness, for peace of mind, and for a measure of success I otherwise would not have attained.
He was George Robert White, who lost his parents at eight, badly off for a long time. However,
his God-given beliefs made him both a material and a spiritual millionaire at thirty. As a young man, Mr. White took over the leadership of a small plant, and throughout his career he donated a large part of his net profits to charity. Despite his unusual business practice, he built that tiny concern into a world-famous corporation, and became the multi-million-dollar manufacturer.
Before I met him, my path to success was the ordinary road over which most American businessmen travel—endless hours of hard work, social contacts, wise investments. But where was the resulting happiness that my material gain was supposed to have afforded me?I discovered that I had no more peace of mind.
I took the advice of Mr. White to open the pathway to happiness and freedom of mind. “Personal and business success, built upon materialism alone, are empty shells over disappointment and saddened lives,” he emphasized, “Cast your bread upon the waters and it will come back in abundance. ” If we are to be happy, to be successful in every aspect of the world, and to live truly full lives, we must share ourselves, as well as our material gain, with our fellow men.
Since Mr. White’s death, I have made great efforts, as his successor, to stick to his code of morality. Two dollars out of every three earned by our corporation is shared with others. My reward and my blessings have come to me in the form of personal satisfaction and peace of mind that had been foreign to me.
24. What was Mr. White’s unusual business practice?
A. His concern about the poor.
B. His leadership of a small plant
C. His way to deal with the net profits.
D. His becoming a millionaire at thirty.
25. How was the author’s life before he met Mr. White?
A. Busy and uneasy.
B. Wealthy and full.
C. Successful and happy.
D. Struggling and hopeful.
26. What was Mr. White’s advice?
A. Be a breadwinner.
B. Be ready to share.
C. Build personal reputation.
D. Seek material abundance.
27. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To call back his own life.
B. To introduce Mr. White’s lifestyle.
C. To show his concern about charity.
D. To express his gratitude to Mr. White.
C
Andrew Newey has made a career documenting fading cultures and traditions, in which honey hunting in Nepal was a relatively unknown tradition.
Arriving in Nepal in October, Mr. Newey traveled the Kaski district in search of a hunt untouched by mass tourism. Not until December did he find one, in a small village with a backdrop of snow-capped mountains—the name of which he keeps a secret. “If the name comes out, tourists will come crowding there,” said Mr. Newey, 35, “That would be a disaster.” After gaining the trust of villagers who were watchful of cameras and the foreigners behind them, Mr. Newey accompanied more than a dozen on the three-hour hike down a mountainside to the base of a cliff.
The hunt takes three days. First a sheep is sacrificed in the name of the cliff gods and prayers offered for a good harvest. The morning of the hunt, leaves are collected for small fires near the cliffside’s base to smoke the large Himalayan bees out of their nests. The third day, they return home with their harvest.
Although the process of collecting the rich honey stored in the cliff is a group effort of a dozen people. the man known as the cutter has the toughest job. After a 50-meter rope ladder is secured to the top and base of the cliff, he climbs up carrying two seven-meter-long bamboo sticks known as tangos. With one sharpened tango, he cuts a exposed honeycombs violently while using the other—often balanced with a leg or foot—to move a hanging basket and catch falling pieces.
It is a physically challenging process for the cute, who on Mr. Newey’s journey was 58 years old. The aging of traditional honey hunters and the migration of younger people to larger cities to accommodate tourists are also responsible for the tradition’s decline.
The tourism industry hurts because it leads to over hunting; they are supposed to occur only twice a year to allow for the bees’ return. The decrease of rhododendrons (杜鹃花), a result of paths
cleared for tourist groups, is also to blame,
28. Why do the villagers bum the leaves?
A. To please the gods.
B. To cook the sheep.
C. To pray for the hunt
D. To drive away the bees.
29. What does the underlined phrase “the other” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. A leg.
B. A stick.
C. A basket.
D. A honeycomb.
30. What accounts for the disappearing tradition?
A. Over hunting.
B. Lack of successors.
C. Bees dying out.
D. Aging accommodation.
31. Which of the following is the best title?
A Tourism Disaster—a Forever Hurt
B. Tourism Boom—the Root of Trouble
C. Hunting Honey, and Trying to Hide
D. Hunting Honey, and Helping to Promote
D
Life’s greatest moments often happen when they’re least expected. For the average person, that may be when your friends throw you a surprise party or someone else covers your dinner bill. This has also proven to be true in the fields of science and medicine. Now, we can add another monumental find to this list: a new treatment for Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症).
Researchers at Lancaster University were studying a new medication that was created to treat type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) when they realized that it also “significantly turn memory loss for better.” The drug has only been used on mice so far, but after taking it, the animals exhibited improved learning and memory formation in a maze(迷宫)text. Scientists also noticed a decrease in symptoms in the brain that has been linked to Alzheimer’s, as well as a slower rate of never cell loss. Lead researcher Professor Christian Holscher said in the press release that this treatment “ holds clear promise of being developed into a new treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.”
Previous studies have suggested that type 2 diabetes is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease because it can damage blood vessels(血管) and potentially reduce or block blood flow to the brain. Additionally, insulin desensitization can result from both conditions.
“With no new treatments in nearly 15 years, we need to find new ways of treating Alzheimer’s,” Dr. Doug Brown, Director of Research and Development at Alzheimer’s Society, said in a press release. “This approach to research could make it much quicker to get promising new drugs to the people who need them.”
32. The researchers came to the new treatment when they were .
A. having a surprise party
B. covering a dinner bill
C. studying Alzheimer’s
D. studying type 2 diabetes
33. What does the maze test show?
A. The mice have a good memory.
B. Alzheimer’s disease is cured.
C. The drug benefits the mice’s memory.
D. Alzheimer’s slows down nerve cell loss.
34. What does the underline phrase “insulin desensitization” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A disease.
B. A blood vessel.
C. A treatment.
D. A medicine.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Scientists have found former treatments useless,
B. New drugs for Alzheimer’s are around the corner.
C. It took scientists 15 years to find the new treatment.
D. The group promise to give the drug to people for free.

Why do people take “selfies(自拍)”? Researchers at Syracuse University in New York tried to answer that question. 36
People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to narcissism(自恋), the Syracuse researchers said. Narcissists are people who think very highly of themselves, especially how they look. 37 Because social media can be superficial(肤浅), it is mostly used to share such unimportant information about their lives.
38 People who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the Syracuse University research found. They said some people feel “peer pressure” to post selfies. And some believe it did not really happen if there is no picture of an event or experience.
Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. 39 Before social media, people would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. If you are a nice person, you commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. That was the old way of “clicking” like. 40 People can decide not to look at photos of their friends and family—even if they click “like” or even “love” under the Facebook selfie.
A. On social media, it is a different experience.
B. They came up with some surprising answers.
C. There are other reasons why people post selfies.
D. Here is how the Syracuse researchers did their study.
E, For them, social media is a good place to post selfies.
F. On trips and special events, our elders used cameras to take photos.
G. There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies.
