Suspended Coffee

How about buying a cup of coffee for someone you’ll never meet?

The idea, begun in Naples, Italy, and called “Suspended Coffee”一 i.e., a customer pays for a

coffee and “banks”it for someone (21) ___________ (fortunate) —has become an international

internet sensation(轰动) with coffee shops in Europe and North America (22)

___________ (participate) in the movement. The Facebook page alone has more than 28,000

“likes”.

The tradition of “suspended coffee” is a long-standing tradition in Italy (23)__________ increased

in popularity after the Second World War. Recently the practice was starting to take hold in other

European countries (24) ___________ (hit) hard economically.

Homegrown Hamilton, a coffee chain of Canada, has decided to join the effort. “It’s a fantastic

initiative (25) ___________ we decided to help out. We had been doing it pretty much anyway,

just not under a banner. During the winter, we were giving away coffee or soup to the homeless,”

said manager Mike Pattison, “Staff members are always close to the coffeehouse’ front door, and

(26) ___________ they see someone walking by who looks like they want, a coffee but can’t

Smart Phone Application Tracks Mental Health

Military service is obviously rough on a service member’s mental health. According to some

31____, 30 percent of service members develop some type of mental health issue within four

months

of returning home after leaving the army.

The military is spending more money than ever to 32____mental health issues within the ranks,

and their latest attempt is a smart phone application called the T2 MoodTracker application, which

helps service members keep track of their mental health after leaving the army. The app works

like a high-tech diary, allowing users to 33____ emotions and behaviors that result from therapy,

medication, daily experiences or changes happening at work or in the home. The smart phone app

isn’t supposed to be a pocket 34 ____, though. It serves more as an extremely accurate and 35

____record of a service member’s mental health.

Perry Bosmajian is a psychologist with the National Center for TeleHealth and Technology, where

this smart phone app was created. He says this smart phone app will produce much more accurate

results on the36 ____conditions of service members who have returned home. “Therapists and

physicians often have to rely on patient 37____ when trying to gather information about

symptoms over the previous weeks or months,” Bosmajian said. “Research has shown that

information collected after the fact, especially about mood, tends to be 38____. The best record of

an experience is when it’s recorded at the time and place it happens.”

The app specifically tracks anxiety, depression, general well-being, life stress, post-traumatic (受伤后的）stress and brain injury. The daily expressions add up over time to produce a(n) 39____

that can be observed by physicians and therapists.

The app has been downloaded more than 5,000 times since it became 40____ on the Android

Market a year ago. Users of iPhones can also have access to the app some time next year.

Directions MatterJet lag(时差感）may be the worst part of travelling, and it hits many people

harder travelling east than west. Why they feel this way is 41________, but scientists recently

developed a new model that provides an explanation for the mystery and insights on recovering

from jet model imitates the way neuronal oscillator cells (神经振子细胞）42________

crossing timezones. These cells in our brains 43 ________our biological docks. However，the cells

don’t quite operate on a perfect 24-hour schedule. Instead, their activity follows a 44________

that lasts slightly longer than that, about 24.5 hours. According to Michelle Girvan, an associate

professor of physics at the University of Maryland and a co-author of the study, that means it’s

45________ for us to extend the length of a day—for example, by flying west across time

zones—than to shorten the day, by flying scientists found that for 46________ travel, a

person who crossed three time zones would fully 47________in a little less than four days. For six

time zones, recovery would take about six days. For nine time zones, the recovery would take just

less than eight days. However, when a person travels eastward, the recovery time doesn’t

match up as 48________. When a person crosses three time zones going east, it takes a little more

than four days to recover. For six time zones, the recovery time 49________ to more than eight

days. And for nine time zones, the recovery period is more than 12 noted that not

everyone has a biological clock of exactly 24.5 hours. 50________ , it varies from person to

person. The other factor to consider is 51________ cues such as sunlight, Girvan added. How a

person reacts to these cues can also 52________how quickly he or she will adjust to a new time

zone. The scientists hope that their new model can be used in the future to figure out the

best ways to 53________ jet lag. For example, if you will be traveling six time zones eastward,

start by setting your clock ahead an hour or two several days before you leave. And when you

arrive in a new time zone, make sure that the outside cues you are exposed to 54 ________the new

time zone. That means that if it’s daytime in the new time zone, expose yourself to sunlight. And

if it’s nighttime, avoid artificial 55________, including those from smartphones and computers, to

help your biological clock adjust.

questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just

read.(A)A woman standing over six feet tall and weighing about 200 pounds is bound to make an

impression. But in Mary Fields’ case, these features were outmatched by a heart of gold that made

her legendary(传奇的).Born into slavery in Tennessee in 1832 or 1833, Mary had nothing, not

even a date of birth. However, in her early years, she found something of truly lasting value—a

friend named Dolly. In addition to friendship, Dolly also may have taught Mary to read and write,

an invaluable advantage for slaves. At the end of America’s Civil War, Mary finally received her

freedom and made her own way out into the was employed on a steamboat as a maid

when she received word from Dolly, now a nun （修女）in Ohio called Mother Amadeus. Mary

arrived in Ohio in 1878 and worked at Amadeus’ girls’ school, managing the kitchen and garden.

She became known as a gun-carrying, cigar-smoking woman, but also as an example of kindness

and reliability. After a few years, though, Amadeus was sent to another school out West in

Montana, becoming the first black woman to settle in central Mary was in her 50s,

a sick Mother Amadeus called her West. So Mary made her way to the small town of Cascade,

Montana, to nurse Amadeus to health. She did this and more, running supplies and visitors to St.

Peter’s Mission where Amadeus lived. Once when her wagon(四轮马车) overturned, she guarded

the delivery from wolves through the Mary's rough edges caused the local bishop (主教)

to prohibit her from working at the mission. Mother Amadeus then set her up as the first

African-American female employee of the U.S. Postal Service. Though in her 60s, Mary was such

a dependable mail carrier that she earned the name “tagecoach” Mary. She became a beloved

figure in Cascade. She was the only woman allowed in the saloon (酒馆), was the baseball team’s

biggest fan and was given free meals in the town 70, Mary quit delivering the mail

but remained in Cascade. The town’s school closed to celebrate her unknown birthday twice a year.

to the old saying. So why are groups with lots of “heads” known for making bad

decisions? Why does “groupthink” immediately mean ineffectiveness and mistakes?These

questions are answered in a fascinating new book called Wiser: Getting Beyond Groupthink to

Make Groups Smarter, written by Cass R. Sunstein, a former White House official, and Reid

Hastie, an academic specialized in the psychology of decision making. Building on their combined

experiences and research, Sunstein and Hastie analyze what goes wrong in group decision-making,

and then offer clear-out solutions to overcome these decision-making involves

discussions among members of a group, each with their own skills, experience, ideas and

information. Unfortunately, as the authors explain, there are two types of influence on group

members—informational signals and social pressures—which skew (扭曲）the discussions.

Informational signals cause people to keep information to themselves when it disagrees with

information from others, especially leaders. Social pressures cause people to keep information to

themselves to avoid punishment from leaders who are influences lead to four

problems, the authors write: Instead of correcting the errors of their members, groups actually

expand those errors; cascade effects (联级效应）take over when the group follows whomever

spoke first or loudest; groups become more extreme in their ideas, as the internal discussions

strengthen their predisposed（预先有倾向的）thoughts; and groups focus on shared information

instead of unshared laid out the core problems, the authors offer solutions.

They begin with a list of methods aimed at handling the four core problems, such as:Leaders have

to keep quiet and convince group members that they sincerely want to hear all

success should be rewarded. Group members must understand that if the group is right, everyone

benefits; this will encourage them to ensure that they find the right answer instead of pushing their

own members should be assigned specific roles, thus ensuring that everyone

contributes. Either individuals or assigned teams should be tasked with acting as devil’s

advocates (唱反调的人).Groups also fail, the author writes, because they don’t distinguish

between the early rounds of discussions, in which all ideas must be allowed on the table, and the

final rounds of discussions, in which groups must be tight and analytical as they seek the accurate

solution. Successful groups will deliberately separate the two another approach, the

authors demonstrate that the wisdom of crowds will often lead to the right answer if a majority of

crowd members know their material. Decision-makers often prefer to rely on one single expert,

but “chasing the expert” significantly reduces the probability of getting the decision

is a quick, engaging and thoughtful read that convincingly argues that, with a few simple steps and

open-minded leadership, group discussions can, indeed, lead to wiser decisions.63. The passage is

mainly written to .A. make an advertisement for a new book B. introduce the main points of a

new bookC. prove that two heads are better than one D. show how to make groupthink more

effective64. According to the passage, groups sometimes make bad decisions because some

members .A. are critical of othersB. are punished by the leaderC. disagree with the leaderD. do

not share different ideas65. Which of the following can help improve the effectiveness of

groupthink?A. An expert helps to make the final decision.B. Team success is advocated with

positive measures.C. No one is allowed to put forward their disagreement.D. Leaders don’t

express their own opinions in the process.66. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Wiser

may be welcomed by decision-makers.B. Wiser can change decision-makers’ attitude towards

work.C. The more people in the group, the better decision will be made.D. The final rounds of

discussions are the most important in decision-making. Section CDirections: Read the following

passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used

only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

A. A special value is placed on education in Asia, where tutoring is viewed as an extension of the

school day.B. Children don't seem to mind that they have a tutor.C. Diagnostic tests can help take

into account the areas of study needing special review and emphasis.D. Another reason for the

growth in business is parental frustration and their packed schedules.E. Children work

cooperatively with their private tutors.F. Nor is it aimed only at lower-achieving students.

Tutoring a New NormalIt’s not piano lessons or dance lessons. Nowadays, the biggest

extra-curricular activity in the West is going to a tutor. “I spend about 800 Canadian dollars a

month on tutors. It’s costly,” says Pet, a mother in Canada. However, she adds, “after finding out

half my daughter’s class had tutors, I felt like my child was going to fall behind because everyone

else seemed to be ahead.”Shelley, a mother of three, also has tutors constantly coming in and out

of her home. “When I used to sit down with my children, it was hard to get them focused. I was

always shouting. When I got a tutor once a week, they became focused for one entire hour and

could get most of their homework done.”Tutoring isn’t simply a private school phenomenon.

67________ In Canada alone, seven percent of high school students reported using a tutor in 2010.

That increased to 15 percent last l, parents hire tutors because they are worried schools

are not meeting their expectations, but there is also a cultural shift. 68 ________As a large number

of Asians emigrated to the West over the recent years, their attitudes towards education have had

an impact. 69________ “A lot of parents just don’t have time to help their children with

homework,” says Julie Diamond, president of an American tutoring company. “Others couldn’t

help their children after Grade 3.”There has been a shift in the attitudes, too. “Children used to get

bullied(欺侮）for having a tutor,” Diamond says. “Now it’s becoming the norm to have

one.” ________One parent feels surprised that so many of her child’s classmates have

tutors. “For the amount we pay in tuition, they should have as much extra help as they need，” she

says. Still, she’s now thinking of getting a tutor. Why? Her daughter has actually asked for one.

IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the

main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as

Therapy“We used to think that our fate was in our stars, but now we know that, in

large measure, our fate is in our genes,” said James Watson. Watson is a molecular (分子的）biologist and co-discoverer of DNA structure. Why? Scientists are seeing that gene therapy is

revolutionizing the treatment of gene therapy, healthy genes are introduced into

defective(有缺陷的）cells to prevent or cure disease. While much of the research is in the

beginning stages, some successes point to the real benefit of the therapy. In Italy, doctors have

recently treated one genetic disease with gene therapy. This disease most often begins to destroy

the brain when children are between 1 and 2, stopping them from walking and talking. By

inserting normal, healthy genetic material into a vims and then infecting the patients, scientists

seem to be able to cure the disease. Although the children given the therapy still need follow-up

treatments, they now lead a relatively normal therapy has also been used to help older

patients. These people suffer from a disease that causes slow movement and uncontrollable

shaking because part of the brain dies. Those treated with gene therapy showed a 23.1 percent

improvement when tested six months later. Gene therapy appears to be a more positive alternative

to surgery or medicine and is an exciting new approach that is just making the news. Researchers

hope that in the coming years, every genetic disease will have gene therapy as its treatment. But

more research is needed to assure its safety.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following
