【题目】Most people know that awkward feeling when you step into an elevator with other people and try not to make eye contact.
But new research suggests it may be down to a subconscious(潜意识的)power struggle being played out as you make your way up or down.
A study found that people decide where they stand based on a micro social grading, established within seconds of entering the lift.
Rebekah Rousi, a Ph.D. student in cognitive science, conducted an study of elevator behaviour in two of the tallest office buildings in Adelaide, Australia.
As part of her research, she took a total of 30 lift rides in the two buildings, and discovered there was an established order to where people tended stand.
In a blog, she writes that more senior men seemed to direct themselves towards the back of the elevator cabins.
She said: 'In front of them were younger men, and in front of them were women of all ages.'
She also noticed there was a difference in where people directed their stare half way through the ride.
Men watched the monitors(监控器), looked in the side mirrors (in one building) to see themselves, and in the door mirrors (of the other building) to also watch others.
'Women would watch the monitors and avoid eye contact with other users (unless in conversation) and the mirrors,' she writes.
The student concluded it could be that people who are shyer stand toward the front, where they can't see other passengers, whereas brave people stand in the back, where they have a view of everyone else.
【1】According to Rebekah Rousi, senior men intend to stand ______ of the elevator cabins.
A. in the front B. in the middle
C. near the side mirrors D. at the back
【2】 The underlined word “ them ” in paragraph 7 refers to ______.
A. senior men B. younger women
C. younger men D. Women
【3】Why do women choose to stand in the front?
A. Because they are too shy to make eye contact with others.
B. Because they can have a view of everyone else.
C. Because they want to show their power.
D. Because they want to watch the monitors.

【题目】Those who have suffered from insomnia know the sinking feeling of watching the clock tick.Now a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that lying in bed awake may actually contribute to the problem of sleeplessness.
The study of 79 adults(average age 72)with insomnia aimed to determine whether brief behavioral interventions for insomnia would help.Traditional behavioral therapy(疗法)requires at least half a dozen hour-long sessions with a therapist — a costly commitment many patients either can't make or don't have access to.Other options include sleep-aiding medications or supplements.In the current study,the 39 participants in the behavioral therapy group received a 45- to 60-minute instructing session,plus a 30-minute follow-up session and two 20-minute phone calls.
Doctors offered the following behavioral interventions for improving sleep: reduce time in bed; get up at the same time every day,regardless of sleep duration; don't go to bed unless sleepy; and don't stay in bed unless asleep.
The other 40 participants in the study were given printed educational materials about insomnia,which included the same instructions given to the intervention group,but without the individualized sessions with a therapist.Two weeks later,the latter group also got a 10-minute follow-up phone call.
At the end of four weeks,the behavioral treatment group was significantly more likely to show improvements in sleep than the printed-materials group.By that time,55% of those who received behavioral treatment no longer met the criteria for insomnia,compared with 13% of the group that got educational brochures.
The good news comes at the same time as a report on the health effects of insomnia from the U.K.'s Mental Health Foundation.The report,Sleep Matters,suggests a link between insomnia and poor relationships,low energy levels and an inability to concentrate.Poor sleep has already been linked to depression,immune deficiency and heart disease.
【1】What is the meaning of the underlined word “ insomnia”?
A.sleeplessness B.depression
C.heart disease D.immune deficiency
【2】What is the disadvantage of traditional behavioral therapy?
A.It can’t help.
B.It costs a lot of money.
C.It requires sessions with a therapist.
D.It includes sleep-aiding medications.
【3】How to improve sleep according to the doctor?
A.Lying in bed awake.
B.Get up early every day.
C.Don’t go to bed late at night.
D.Don’t stay in bed if you are not asleep.
【4】We can learn from the text that insomnia may cause the following results except________.
A.depression B.concentration
C.immune deficiency D.heart disease

【题目】When Josephine Cooper was growing up,she learned the importance of charity from her parents.Although they made a modest living for their family of 10,they insisted on sharing with those less fortunate.
