They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.

17、The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32 F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30 F.Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 1

18、00 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北極圈)on foot. People who staye

19、d there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited(無人居住的). Few people can live in such a difficult place.People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not

20、 true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道)called leads. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.1This passage is probably from .Aa

24、for winter. You are a fool to work on such a hot day,” he teased (取笑) the ant. The ant was very angry and shouted at the grasshopper, “Well, go and play! You will have a bad time in winter. ”Summer was over and winter came. The grasshopper could not find food anywhere. He was both cold and hungry. H

A lot of books like these begin with titles that start with the words “how to”. Many “how to” books give advice on careers.

33、 They tell you how to choose a career and how to succeed in it. If you would like to become very rich, you can buy a book How to Make a Million. If you never make any money, you need a book called How to Live on Nothing.One of the most popular kinds of books is one that helps you with personal probl

34、ems. If you are unhappy with your life, you can read How to love Every Minute of Your life. If you are tired of books on happiness, you may prefer a book called How to Make Yourself Sad.

The right to choose iscentralto everyone. Yet sometimes we make bad decisions that leave us unhappy or

41、full of regret. Can science help?Most of us know little about the mental processes that lie behind our decisions. Luckily, what psychologists(心理學(xué)家)are finding may help us all make better choices. Here are some of their amazing discoveries to help you make up your mind.Consider your emotions. You mig

42、ht think that emotions are the enemy of decision making, but in fact they are a part of it. Whenever you make up your mind, your brains emotional centre is active. University of Southern California scientist, Antonio Damasia, has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains

43、 , and found that they were unable to make basic choices about what to wear or eat. Damasia thinks this may be because our brains store emotional memories of past choice, which we use to help the present decision-making.However, making choices under the influence of an emotion can greatly affect the

44、 result. Take anger, for example. A study by Nitika Garg of the University of Mississippi and other scientists found the angry shoppers were more likely to choose the first thing they were offered rather than considering other choices. It seems that anger can lead us to make quick decisions without

45、much thinking.All emotions affect our thinking and motivation（動(dòng)機(jī)），so it may be best to avoid making important decisions under their influence. Yet strangely there is one emotion that seems to help us make good choices. The American researchers found that sad people took time to consider the various

46、choices on offer, and ended up making the best choices. In fact many studies show that people who feel unhappy have the most reasonable view of the world.1According to the text, what may help us make better decisions?ATo think about happy times.BTo make many decisions at a time.CTo stop feeling regr

47、etful about the past.DTo learn about the process of decision-making.2What does the underlined word “central” mean?A中心的 B中央的 C起決定作用的 D后悔的3Damasias study suggests that _.Aemotions are the enemy of decision making.Bour brain has nothing to do with decision making.Cpeople with physical damage find it ha

48、rd to make up their minds.Dour emotional memories of past choices can affect present decisions.4Why are angry shoppers more likely to choose the first thing they are offered?AThey often forget their past choices.BThey make decisions without much thinking.CThey tend to save time when shopping.DThey a

49、re too angry to bargain.5What do we learn from the text?AEmotions are a part of decision-making.BSad people always make worse choices.CNo emotion seems to help us make good choices.DOnly sad feeling affect our thinking and motivation.F18、Although I didnt have any interest in being a school bus drive

50、r, I became one. Many years later, I was still working on the school bus. There are so many good reasons. Firstly, the talk brought me different kinds of information. I also got to hear all the family secrets of the newcomers. I have a toy bear who was a great comforter(安慰者) for the little ones. The

51、 kids got to look after him on the trip to school and he waited patiently forthemto get on for the trip home.Our bus would often pass a place where we could see some alpacas (羊駝) in front of a farm house. Little Michael would cry excitedly from the seat, “Look, Miss! Look at the camels!” He used to

52、put his head out of the bus window. When I warned him that a little insect would come into his nose if he wasnt careful, he smartly gave up the habit.I remember a little girl got on the bus one morning 5 years ago and sobbed(抽泣) all the way to school. We arrived at the school gate. As she waited to

53、get down the bus, she threw her arms around my neck and cried that her grandfather had died the night before.A school bus driver needs to keep one eye on the road and the other on the mirror to watch what the little ones are doing down the back.Now, its important to think how many lives Ive been responsible(負(fù)責(zé)的) for, and how many kilometers Ive driven in order to get my passengers home safely during the 20 years. Ive enjoyed it, but its time to rest and park my school bus.1When did the writer begin to be a school bus driver?A5 years ago. B10 years ago
