For that, SieMatic BeauxArts offers unique opportunities: A broad range of seemingly conflicting features that you combine to a harmonious design of your own. ‎ ‎57.

Feeling helpless in the face of anger.‎ 二．推理判断题 However wealthy we may be, we can never find enough hours in the day to do everything we want. Economics deals with this problem through the concept of opportunity cost, which simply refers to whether someone’s time or money could be better spent on something else.‎ Every hour of our time has a value. For every hour we work at one job we could quite easily be doing another, or be sleeping or watching a film. Each of these options has a different opportunity cost—namely, what they cost us in missed opportunities.‎ ‎58. According to the passage, the concept of “opportunity cost” is applied to ________.‎ A. making more money B. taking more opportunities C. reducing missed opportunities D. weighing the choice of opportunities Exercises:‎ Consider that most famous economic rule of all: there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Even if someone offers to take you out to lunch for free, the time you will spend in the restaurant still costs you something in terms of forgone opportunities.‎ ‎60. What are forgone opportunities?‎ A. Opportunities you forget in decision-making. B.Opportunities you give up for better ones.‎ C. Opportunities you miss accidentally. D.

Lacking a mirror image in the mother who raised me, I had to seek my identity as a woman on my own. The Asian American community has helped me regain my double identity. 68. What can be inferred from Mommy’s Anglo family life?‎ A. She used to experience an identity crisis. B. She fought against her American identity.‎ C. She forgot the pains of her early years. D.

I looked different from others.‎ 四．主旨大意题 Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour: we move closer to people we like. Most negative emotions, in contrast, are associated with avoidance behaviour: we move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious. But anger is an exception to this pattern.‎ ‎ The angrier we are, the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger. This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as offensive anger: the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger. This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry (不对称) of EEG activity. Interestingly, this asymmetry lessens if the angry person can experience empathy (同感) towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response. In defensive anger, in contrast, the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation.‎ ‎64. What is the key message of the last paragraph?‎ A. How anger differs from other emotions. B. How anger relates to other emotions.‎ C. Behavioural responses to anger. D. Behavioural patterns of anger.‎ Homework Back then, a Generation of successful American Entrepreneurs dreamt of a new style of Architecture to express their personal wealth. This dream was realized by young architects such as Daniel Burnham and Stanford White. They all had studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. And they created a new style for Architecture and Interior Design, named after the famous French Art Institute: Beaux Arts.‎ ‎56. Why did the Beaux Arts style attract American entrepreneurs?‎ A. It helped display their money status. B. It was created by famous architects.‎ C. It was named after a famous institute. D. It represented the 19th century urban culture.‎ Say you intend to watch a football match but the tickets are expensive and it will take you a couple of hours to get to and from the stadium. Why not, you might reason, watch the game from home and use the leftover money and time to have dinner with friends? This—the alternative use of your cash and time—is the opportunity cost.‎ ‎59. The “leftover ... time” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to the time ________.‎ A. spared for watching the match at home B. taken to have dinner with friends C. spent on the way to and from the match D. saved from not going to watch the match Not everyone experiences anger in the same way; what angers one person may amuse another. The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and cultural forces. In contemporary culture, physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially harmful to be tolerated. We no longer regard duels (决斗) as an appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person’s awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another. ‎ ‎61. The “duels” example in Paragraph 2 proves that the expression of anger ________.‎ A. usually has a biological basis B. varies among people C. is socially and culturally shaped D. influences one’s thinking and evaluation Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition (意向) that most of us possess most of the time. But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas aren’t balanced and, as a result of this, we’re likely to react. And our behavioural response to anger is different from our response to other emotions, whether positive or negative.‎ ‎62. What changes can be found in an angry brain?‎ A. Balanced electrical activity can be spotted.‎ B. Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas.‎ C. Electrical activity corresponds to one’s behaviour.‎ D. Electrical activity agrees with one’s disposition.‎ Worn down by the demands of the new baby and perhaps the constant threat of starvation, she made the painful decision to give away her girl so that both of us might have a chance for a better life. 66.

It is painful but understandable.‎ That, plus a little knowledge of classroom Cantonese, is all the Chinese culture I have to offer you. Not white, certainly, but not really Asian, I try to pave the way between the two worlds and bridge the gap for you. Your name, "Shao-ming," is very much like mine—"Shao" means "little." And "ming" is "bright," as in a shining sun or moon.‎ ‎69. Why did Mommy name her daughter “Shao-ming?”‎ A. To match her own birth-name. B. To brighten the lives of the family.‎ C. To identify her with Chinese origin. D. To justify her pride in Chinese culture.‎ Your past is more complete than mine, and each day I cradle you in your babyhood, generously giving you the loving care I lacked for my first two years.
