10、ly powerful story that would cause you to tears? Most of us tend to be attracted by stories that reach us on multiple levels, including sadness. There are plenty of books that make you cry (and sometimes laugh) and that you can really sink your teeth into. Here are four of them.1. The Kite RunnerThi

11、s realistic and moving description of life in Afghanistan accounts for the people who were badly affected by the Taliban. Youll cry as you get to know the familial relationships and cruelty involved, but youll also get a sense of hope as you quickly read through this appealing novel.2. The Book Thie

12、fLets put it this way: Death itself is the narrator. The story is about a young girl named Liesel who has to live with foster parents during World War II. On the way to her new home, her brother dies, setting the gloomy tone for the story. There is hope, however, when Liesel discovers her love for r

13、eading and makes a relationship with a young Jewish man she helps hide from the Nazis.3. The Fault in Our StarsThis is probably the most likely book on the list to make you cry, as it records the experiences of teens who are dying from cancer and living their last days in love. Their lifestyle is tr

14、agic and disturbing at the same time, as we watch their health worsen. The real tragedy is the love story between the main characters, who know that their romance is fruitless.4. A Child Called “It”Easily one of the saddest stories of abuse in recent decades, A Child Called It is based on the true s

15、tory of Dave Pelzer, a boy from California who suffered at the hands of his cruel family.

Why would anyone rac

18、e to crowded stores when they could stay in with family, or watch college football? We cant say we know the answer for sure. But we do feel amazed at those who pour into stores looking for Black Friday bargains. Seemingly, nothing can stop them. Not the weather. Not the crowds. And not the fact that

19、 hurrying to a store in the age of instant e-commerce seems solast century.To be sure, holiday shopping habits do appear to be shifting. The National Retail (零售) Federation has stopped breaking up its holiday sales numbers by whether they come from e-tail purchases or from physical stores. Its a pre

20、tty good sign that retailers dont want to bring further attention to the declining fortunes of brick-and-mortar stores.But there is no denying that people still love going to stores. Actual shopping in actual places remains an important part of the holiday ceremony for millions of Americans. To many

21、, its the difference between playing a sport and playing a video game. As commercial as stores may be, they are still places where actual human beings interact. In a store, the “courageous” shopper performs the approving act of finding a present. That item might be heavily promoted by the store, but

22、 it doesnt drop into ones cart. It is picked up and examined before a decision is made. Maybe it gets put back on the shelf when the shopper changes his or her mind. Maybe there is a conversation with a sales clerk. The process is not that different than it would have been decades ago. Online, the s

23、hopper has barely logged in before being faced with disturbing algorithmic (大数据的) suggestions based on earlier purchases. This hardly qualifies as shopping. This hardly qualifies as thinking.Perhaps we are reading too much into the Black Friday phenomenon. But we suspect one reason Black Friday rema

24、ins is that it involves an act of resistance against the Internet age. That would hardly be unreasonable. There arent many studies showing that time spent in stores is bad for ones health, while there are quite a few drawing a link between time spent online and depression. Perhaps the people crowdin

25、g into stores arent the crazy ones after all. 24. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?A. Goods in stores are cheaper than those online.B. People spend more on Black Friday bargains. C. Americans have an unhealthy shopping habit. D. Physical stores are not so popular as before.25. The aut

27、. Understandable. B. Unusual.C. Out-of-date. D. Puzzling.27. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. The development of retailing. B. The psychology of shopping.C. The influences of e-commerce. D. The features of holiday economy. CWhen someone is happy, can you smell it?You can usually tell when

28、someone is happy based on seeing them smile, hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug. But can you also smell their happiness? Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell, reports Phys.o

29、rg.For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study

30、 period.Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the samples, apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensit

31、ive to emotional signalingthough its unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents.Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents-particularly their facial expressions-indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the

32、 women who sniffed them.Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell, said study co-author Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey.This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the sce
