26、Achieving a healthy work-life balance — an idea that has spread to countries around the world — has become one of the primary social goals today. This has resulted in an immediate need for companies to allow for a variety of work styles such as working from home, while also providing a friendly work environment that can bring out the best in each employee.

It all sounds very promising, but in reality, most offices today feature the same boring designs. To make matters worse, air conditioning is often kept to a minimum to cut electricity costs, while windows are covered with blinds to prevent dizziness from longer exposure to natural light. Employees who work indoors are forced to spend most of their days in these unpleasantly warm environments. Since the choice is to build costly new offices that are brighter and more open, there is a real need for solutions that can create a sense of brightness and openness.

This is where Mitsubishi Electric’s revolutionary new technology comes into play. It is a lighting solution to produce the exact deep blue color of a clear sky. Using this technology, offices can work in a way that was not possible with previous LED lights.

The blue skies that are seen on a clear day are produced by what is known as Rayleigh scattering (散射). Because blue light waves are shorter than red light waves, they are scattered towards us more strongly — this is why the sky looks blue during the day.

Mitsubishi Electric’s LED skylight uses the same phenomenon to artificially create the sky’s deep blue quality. It is made up of a slim sky blue panel (嵌板) and a four-sided frame. Of the four frames, only three are lit up at any given time, while the fourth remains dark as if the light were entering at an angle — an important detail that creates the false idea of actual sunlight pouring in through a skylight. Thanks to this technology, one can remain in a closed room and still enjoy the great excitement of looking up at a deep blue sky.

【1】What is a healthy work-life balance like according to the writer?

A．It brings out the best of every employer.

B．It includes different kinds of work styles.

C．It encourages employees to work indoors.

D．It improves employees’ health conditions.

【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．The costly choices of most old offices.

B．The promising future of office workers.

C．The virtual solutions to improve productivity.

D．The work conditions in the offices today.

【3】How does Mitsubishi Electric’s LED skylight work?

A．By letting actual sunlight pour in.

B．By lighting three sides of the frames.

C．By changing the previous LED light.

D．By showing pictures the deep blue sky.

【4】Which of the following can best describe the effect of Mitsubishi Electric’s LED skylight?

A．Pleasant.

B．Close.

C．Dizzy.

D．Colorful.

27、   Staying positive through cold season could be the best defence against getting sick, a new American study suggests.

In an experiment that exposed healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus, researchers found that people with a generally sunny character were less likely to fall ill. The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help keep away from the common cold and other illnesses.

“People with a positive emotional style may have different immune responses to the virus,” explained lead study author Dr. Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “And when they do get a cold, they may experience their illness as less severe.”

Cohen and his colleagues had found in a previous study that happier people seemed less susceptible to catching a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional quality itself had the effect.

For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults complete standard measures of personality qualities, physical health and “emotional style”. Those who tended to be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style, while those who were often unhappy, tense and hostile had a negative style.

Afterwards, the researchers gave them nose drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus that causes flu-like symptoms. Over the next six days the volunteers reported on any aches, pains, sneezing they had. Cohen and his colleagues found that happy people were less likely to develop a cold. What’s more, when happy folks did develop a cold, their symptoms were less severe than they would be expected based on objective measures.

In contrast, people with negative characters were not at increased risk of developing a cold based on objective measures, though they did tend to get down about their symptoms.

“We find that it’s really positive emotions that have the big effect”, Cohen said, “not the negative ones.”

So can a bad-tempered person fight a cold by deciding to be happy?

【1】The purpose of Cohen’s new study was to _______________.

A.find effective ways to fight illnesses

B.test people’s different immune responses to cold virus

C.tell differences between happy people and unhappy people

D.examine whether health was related to emotional styles

【2】How did Cohen reach his conclusion?

A.By comparing the experimental results of different groups.

B.By asking the volunteers to complete a form.

C.By collecting data among people with a cold.

D.By observing the volunteers’ symptoms.

【3】We can conclude from the text that_______________.

A.success is the twin of positive spirits

B.we get more by being more positive

C.the happier we are, the fewer colds we will suffer

D.physical health is more important than mental health

28、A competition making up Versailles literature was launched on Sina Weibo recently. So what is Versailles literature?

Actually, the term has nothing to do with the French palace nor with literature. It came from The Rose of Versailles, a Japanese manga series about aristocratic life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year. Known as humblebragging, it is a boast disguised as a complaint. “I have too many houses. How can I decide which one to decorate?” and “I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night” are some examples of Versailles literature. The intention is to show off — usually things of materialistic values, yet one ought to pretend that’s not the point.

As the 19th century English author Jane Austen famously wrote, “Nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility.” The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one’s successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars. In her article titled Why do people hate humblebragging? published in Psychology Today, psychologist Dr. Susan Krauss Whitbourne at the University of Massachusetts Amherst noted that humblebragging is a “strategy in pursuit of respect” because it draws attention to one’s accomplishments in a circuitous way.

However, studies on social media users show that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work. In the essay Humblebragging: A distinct and ineffective self-presentation strategy, the University of North Carolina researcher Ovul Sezer and Harvard University scholars Francesca Gino and Michael Norton concluded from their research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to                                        the former’s insincerity. “The critical factor differentiating the two groups of people is sincerity. People don’t like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers,” said Francesca Gino.

So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back? “Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off,” a netizen advised. “And respond with genuine sympathy for their complaints.”

【1】Which of the following statements is typical of “Versailles literature”?

A．You know who my father is? My father is Li Gang.

B．Got five offers to date. I’m at a loss which to choose.

C．It’s a headache how to make my son tidy up his room regularly.

D．I’m fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.

【2】What is the psychology behind humblebragging?

A．To win others’ sympathy.

B．To earn others’ admiration.

C．To show his/her sincerity.

D．To mask his / her complaint.

【3】What does the underlined world “circuitous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Indirect.

B．Straightforward.

C．Ambiguous.

D．Double-edged.

【4】What can’t be inferred from the passage?

A．Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.

B．Humblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.

C．To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.

D．If you want to be perceived positively, try to use Versailles literature.

29、The way we cook is important. In many countries, the two sources of heat used for cooking are natural gas or electric stoves. The World Health Organization(WHO) warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year.

Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook stoves in the home. WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off   by simple biomass(生物燃料）and coal stoves.

These findings show that the home use of poisonous fuels is to blame for many of these deaths. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste and so on. Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO’ s Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene(煤油）fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not correct the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors. “New technologies and clean fuels can rid people of this problem.”

The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.

Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.“There are already many technologies for clean fuels available now. An effective and reasonably low-cost ethanol(酒精）stove that is made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company)is now being tested out. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves.” In India, you can buy an induction stove for about $8. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.

【1】How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?

A．By making classifications.

B．By listing numbers.

C．By following time order.

D．By describing a process.

【2】According to Carlos Dora, what is the best solution to indoor air pollution?

A．People should use an effective air cleaner.

B．People should use new technologies and clean fuels.

C．People should open a window or door to let out the harmful air.

D．People should prevent themselves from being exposed to harmful air..

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Most of the deaths from indoor pollution are in developing countries.

B．Burning solid fuels can help limit indoor air pollution .

C．People can buy ethanol stoves made by Dometic in India.

D．There are already two technologies for clean fuels available for use.

【4】Which would be the best title for the passage?

A．The way we cook is changing.

B．Cause of indoor air pollution.

C．The development of electric stoves.

D．Indoor air pollution kills millions each year.
