Given that I teach students who are

2、 training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out. “Surgery (外科手术) ”，one

3、replied. I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special e

5、other to wear shoes with thick soles, as Im not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall! It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”，and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality. No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thi

18、ont smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount. That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal. After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the United Kingdom from about 199

19、3 to 2007, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14 years longer than those who didnt. “Weve known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but weve not seen this benefit before，”

20、said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britains Medical Research Council. “The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from.” Study participants (参与者）scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servi

21、ngs of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake. Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes. But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes，it would be impossibl

22、e to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years. “We cant say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things，” said Dr. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization. “The 14 years is an average across the popu

People have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing theyre good.31. What would be the best title for this passage?

26、A. Smoking and Drinking Cuts You 14 YearsB. Healthy Habits May Give Extra 14 YearsC. How to Make Your Life Longer Than OthersD. How to Live a Much Healthier LifeD Rock-paper-scissors is a game played all around the world. As kids, we have relied on it to settle disagreements with friends一from which

27、channel to watch to who gets to eat the last ice-creamall because we think the results arc completely random. But are they? Wang Zhijian, PhD, a professor at Zhejiang University, believes that there is a regulation behind this simple game. So he gathered 360 students, divided them into groups of six

28、 and had each group play 300 rounds of rock-paper-scissors, reported USA Today. After the first results, Wang thought he was wrong, because players chose each of the three moves about one-third of the time, suggesting that the game is random after all. However， Wang later noticed a surprising regula

29、tion of behavior in the data.When players won a round, they usually stuck to the same choice. But when they lost, they tended to change to a more powerful move. For example, if Player A had just thrown down scissors to beat Player Bs paper, Player A was more likely to throw down scissors again while

30、 Player B was likely to choose rock, since rock beats scissors. According to Wang, this might be a function that is called “conditional response”. So, for the next step of his study, as he told BBC, Wang plans to do some research about how human brains make quick decisions when competing. Now that y

But there is one problem: make sure they havent read about Wangs study, or your advantage will disappear.32. What does the underlined word “random” in the first pa

If Player A has used rock to beat Player Bs scissors, what will they probably do next?A. Play
