    For the Travel section, writers and editors selected special items to profile from a dozen cities.

    Brussels:Chocolate

    Nearly half the chocolate consumed in the world is eaten in Europe, and Belgium—with average consumption of 14.99 pounds per person a year—certainly covers its fair share. While Brussels, the country’s capital, is home to hundreds of chocolate makers, what makes a visit necessary is the rich heritage of traditional chocolate makers.

    Budapest: Paprika (红辣椒)

    The job of preparing Hungarian paprika was once considered too dangerous for mothers to do. A woman who touched her children upon returning from work risked burning them, so only the elderly and unmarried were allowed the delicate task of separating the skin from the flesh. But by the early 20th century, sweeter varieties and a machine turned paprika into a common feature of all Hungarian cuisine.

    Lisbon: Tiles (瓷砖)

    Is there a bluer Country than Portugal? The blue sky and Atlantic Ocean embrace the land. The blue moods of Fado, the dark folk music, form the national soundtrack. And all across Portugal, the typically blue designs of azulejos—ceramic tiles—are spread across churches, castles, palaces, university halls, parks... The result is a beautiful land of Christian saints, Portuguese kings, historical glories, aristocrats at leisure, seascapes and so on.

    Madrid: Guitars

    Walking into one of Madrid’s storied guitar makers’ workshops can feel like stepping into the past. Curly wood shavings, from the palest pine to ebony, fall onto the floor as artisans turn some humble wood into works of art. It’s painstaking work—all done by hand—with classical guitar models and the methods of making them changing little over the last century.

    1.What does the job of preparing Hungarian paprika suggest?

    A. The popularity of Hungarian peppers.

    B. The difficulty of processing peppers.

    C. The unique tradition in Budapest.

    D. The hot level of Hungarian peppers.

    2.Which city can be a splendid setting for a film?

    A. Brussels.B. BudapestC. LisbonD. Madrid.

    3.What’s the similarity of the four items?

    A. They’re all treasures of a city.

    B. They all date back to several centuries.

    C. Their production processes are all painstaking.

    D. They all win popularity in most European countries.

    Science has a lot of uses. It can reveal (揭示) laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal, The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.

    Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?

    To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of subjects. Because of this, you might expect the book to cover a variety of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unusual, and perhaps unfortunate way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.

    On the whole, Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attempt to translate his tale into science.

    1.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to ________.

    A. show the value of Brooks’s new book

    B. show where science can be applied

    C. remind the reader of the importance of science

    D. explain why many writers use science in their works

    2.According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?

    A. Its clear writing.

    B. Its convincing points.

    C. Its strong characters.

    D. Its strong basis.

    3.What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?

    A. Cautious.

    B. Critical.

    C. Contradictory(矛盾的).

    D. Supportive.

    The Internet is full of headlines that grab your attention with buzzwords (流行词). But often when we click through, we find the content hardly delivers and it wastes our time. We close the page, feeling we've been cheated. These types of headlines are called "click bait".

    A headline on Businesslnsider.com reads: "This phrase will make you seem more polite". First, when you click through, you find another headline: "Four words to seem more polite." Then, on reading the article, you find it's actually an essay about sympathy. And what are the four words? They're "Wow, that sounds hard." On some video websites, you might encounter headlines such as "Here's what happens when six puppies visited a campus". Turns out it's just some uninteresting dog footage (镜头).

    Nowadays, with the popularity of social media, many news outlets tweet (推送) click bait links to their stories. These tweets take advantage of the curiosity gap or attempt to draw the reader into a story using a question in the headline. These click bait headlines are so annoying that someone is attempting to save people time by exposing news outlet click bait through social media. The Twitter account @SavedYouAClick, run by Jake Beckman, is one such example.

    Beckman's method is to grab tweets linking to a story and retweet them with a click-saving comment. For example, CNET tweeted "So iOS 8 appears to be jailbreakable but...", with a link to its coverage of Apple's product announcements. Beckman retweeted it with this comment attached: "... it hasn't been jailbroken yet."

    Since founding the account, Beckman's Twitter experiment has brought him more than 131,000 followers. Beckman said that @SavedYouAClick is…"just my way of trying to help the Internet be less terrible." Asked about his goal, he said, "I'd love to see publishers think about the experience of their readers first. I think there's an enormous opportunity for publishers to provide readers with informative updates that include links so you can click through and read more.

    1.The article on Businesslnsider.com turns out to be ________.

    A. useful suggestions on politeness

    B. an essay about another topic

    C. an article hard to understand

    D. a link to a video website

    2.Why are readers often cheated by tricky headlines?

    A. Social media has become more popular.

    B. Readers have questions to be solved.

    C. Such headlines are fairly attractive.

    D. There're always stories behind them.

    3.Beckman attached his comment to CNET's tweet to ________.

    A. criticize CNET

    B. save readers' time

    C. advertise apple's new product

    D. tell readers something about iOS 8

    4.In the last paragraph, Beckman appeals that ________.

    A. publishers be more responsible for the link

    B. readers think about their needs before reading

    C. publishers provide more information for readers

    D. people work together to make the Internet less terrible
