I am usually in a bad mood after a long day at work, but on this particular Friday afternoon I was in a high mood.I planned to have a good meal and watch Bridget Jones’s Diary.
My local supermarket is always busy.The first parking space I spotted was convenient, but I’d noticed a woman in an old car circling for a while.I let her have it.On the edge of the car park I backed into the next available spot — it was a tight fit.
In record time I’d made my way through the supermarket and was back in the fresh air.In a rush of good spirits, I emptied my purse change into the hands of a homeless man and helped a struggling woman reverse (倒车) into a parking space.
Just as I spotted my car, I saw the woman I’d let have my car spot earlier.I smiled and wished her a pleasant day.
As I got back into my car, I spotted the same lady looking in at me.“ Hello,” she said, hesitantly (犹豫地).“ This might sound crazy but I was on my way to drop some of my mother’s things off at the charity bins.” I looked quickly at the orange bins in the corner of the parking lot, confused.“ I saw you helping those people, and you seemed so happy.My mom had a dress just like that.”
She looked at me meaningfully.I smiled at her in encouragement, hoping she wouldn’t notice that the dress she was admiring was now full of holes.“ I was going to give these away, but you are just so much like her.” She passed a box in through the window.Shocked, unthinking, I took it automatically (无意识地).“ I think she would like you to have it.” She smiled and walked away.
After a pause, I opened the box.Inside was a beautiful gold necklace.It was the nicest gift I’d ever received, and it was from a complete stranger.
Later, I thought back on the day.I didn’t feel the usual sense of exhaustion.The necklace was around my neck, a warm reminder of human kindness.

Do you suffer from cybersickness?

The rise of mobile phones has been blamed for a number of social ills, but your smart phone may also be making you physically sick as well. Scientists have identified a condition called “cybersickness”, which they say is the digital version of motion sickness. The phenomenon, which affects up to 80 percent of the population who own smart phones or tablets, leads to feelings of sickness and unsteadiness. It is caused by seeing fast motion on a screen, which covers anything from a car chase in a film to scrolling through web pages on your phone.

The more realistic the visual content appears to you, the higher your chances of getting cybersickness are . The condition was identified in a piece in the New York Times in which British and US experts said that it needed solving. Motion sickness leaves sufferers feeling ill because they feel movement in your muscles and your inner ear but do not see it. The mismatch in digital sickness is the opposite—you see movement on the screen but do not feel it. The effect is the same and the symptoms include a headache, wanting to throw up, confusion and the need to sit down. Often cybersickness shows itself in a subtle way and sufferers put it down to stress or eyestrain.

Steven Rauch, a professor of otolaryngology(耳鼻喉科学) at Harvard Medical School, said: “Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs. When those inputs don’t agree, that’s when you feel dizziness and sickness. ”

Some studies that have been carried out into cybersickness found that women are more susceptible than men, the New York Times reported. Those who have Type A’ personalities—meaning they are confident and determined—are more likely to suffer from cybersickness as well. Among those who have reported experiencing the condition have been video gamers who spend hours playing fast paced games. Engineers at Oculus VR, the virtual headset manufacturer, have admitted that digital motion sickness is one of their biggest problems.

1.From the text, we know that cybersickness ______.

A. is completely equal to motion sickness

B. affects up to 80% of the population.

C. leads to people’s feelings of sickness and unsteadiness

D. is caused by seeing fast moving objects around

2.What’s the difference between motion sickness and digital sickness?

A. Digital sickness means sufferers see movement but do not feel it.

B. Digital sickness means sufferers feel movement but do not see it.

C. Motion sickness means sufferers see movement but do not feel it.

D. Motion sickness means sufferers don’t see or feel movement

3.What does the underlined word “susceptible” in the last paragraph mean?

A. likely to accept B. likely to be affected

C. likely to suspect D. likely to be cured

4.This passage is most probably ____________.

A. a science fiction B. a newspaper ad

C. a book review D. a science news report

根据短文内容,从下框的A~F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。

How to Simplify Your Life

Less is more. This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them, get rid of junk instead of piling it up, relax instead of stressing, slow down instead of speeding up. Apply these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way. You will then find yourself well along on your journey to simplification.

1._________

When you concentrate on one task, you find you have energy that you didn't even know you had. Just imagine: you are at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards. If you keep grabbing one and then the other, it will take forever, because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off. But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line, pause for a moment, run back and get the other one, and with great determination, carry the second pig to the finish line, then you can be sure of success.

2._________

The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations. In the modern nuclear family, the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now concentrated on the individual partner. If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for all the things you need to do, then it's not because the day has too few hours, but because you have too many activities. A simple fact that overloaded people often tend to forget. The solution is equally simple: refuse to accept so many work assignments in your private life or your working life.

3.___________

“I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work. People who can handle stress are given more and more to cope with -- until one day they break. Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can cope with. These signals came from various areas of life.You become ill, or your work efficiency decreases. If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress. Say quite openly, "I can't manage that."

4.________

“If only I were slimmer, more beautiful, richer, cleverer, then I would be happier.” This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill, depressed, and unhappy. Life has its flaws, defects, corners, and edges. Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life. Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous: driving a car; crossing the road. But life doesn't consist entirely of these things. In among them there is a lot of room for small and large mistakes.

5._______

Successful people all have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work. Find out which places improve your creativity. For me it's the train. When I know that I'm going to be traveling for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door, I find my mind is free and I can read or write complex articles. There can be problems working on the train, of course: if the person sitting opposite you keeps talking away, or if train traps make you tired (some people fall asleep after a few miles).
