29、a Mac and whos on a PC and whos going to spend more.Last year, US travel research company Orbitz tracked peoples online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC users. On average, Mac users lay out US$20-30 more per night on hotels and go for more stars. according to the

30、 Wall Street Journal. As a result, online travel sites show these users more expensive travel options first. To avoid inadvertently paying more, sort results by price.2.Their software doesnt always hook up to the hotels system.A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere but the

31、 risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with third-party providers. The middle-mans software isnt immune to system errors, so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking was processed.3.Dont be fooled by packages: Often, theyre low-end items grouped together.Ever noti

32、ce how travel sites recommend a hotel, a rental car, and tour package all in one click? These deals usually feature travel that no one wants, like flights with multiple layovers.Check the fine print.4.You could miss out on loyalty points.Third-party providers can get between you and frequent flyer m

33、iles or points. Many hotel loyalty programmes dont recognise external sites, others award only minimum points and exclude special offers, like double points on hotel stays.5.Once your trip is purchased, youre on your own.An online travel agency cant provide assistance the same way an agent can if a

34、flight is cancelled or a room is substandard. Basically, when you arrive at the airport or hotel, youre just another client who booked at the lowest rate.56.Which ofthe following is TRUE?A.Third-party providers can ensure your reservation. B. Mac users are likely to spend more money than PC users.C.

35、An online travel agency functions the same as an agent.D.Packages usually provide travelers with satisfactory programmes.57.Whats the purpose of the passage?A.To encourage readers to book a trip on an online travel site.B. To make an advertisement about several travel sites online.C. To convince rea

36、ders not to book a trip on an online travel site.D.To warn readers of some problems with booking trips online.BWant to add some hours to your day? Ok, you probably cant change the fabric of time. But a new study suggests that the way you feel about your goal can change your concept of time and that

37、some simple strategies could make you feel less rushed.In a series of experiments, Jordan Etkin, a professor of marketing at Duke, and her co-authors, Loannis Evangelidis and Jennifer Aaker, looked at what happens when people see their goals as conflicting with one another. In one, they asked some p

38、articipants to list two of their goals that they felt were in conflict, and others simply to list two of their goals. Those who were forced to think about conflicting aims felt more time pressure than those who werent. In another experiment, the researchers gave participants a similar prompt regardi

39、ng goal conflict, but this time measured their anxiety levels as well as their attitudes toward time. They found that participants who thought about conflicting goals had more anxiety than those who didnt, and that this, in turn, led to feelings of being short on time.Stress and anxiety and time pre

40、ssure are closely linked concepts, D. Etkin explained. When we feel more stress and anxiety in relation to our personal goals, that manifests as a sense of having less time.Technological advances that allow people to do lots of things at once may increase the feeling of goal conflict, she said.I thi

41、nk the easier it is for us to try to deal with a lot of these things at the same time, She saidthe more opportunity there is for us to feel this conflict between our goals.She isnt the first to suggest that actual busyness isnt the only thing that can make us Feel busy At the Atlantic, Derek Thompso

42、n wrote that as a country, were working less than we did in the 1960s and 1980s. He offered a number of possible reasons some Americans still feel so overworked, including the fluidness ffl) of work and leisure. As he put it:The idea that work begins and ends at the office is wrong. On the one hand,

43、 flexibility is nice, On the other, mixing work and leisure together creates an always-on expectation that makes it hard for white-collar workers to escape the shadow of work responsibilities.And Brigid Schulte writes in her 2014 book Overwhelmed: How to Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time

44、 that some researchers believe time has no sharp edges. What often matters more than the activity were doing at a moment in time, they have found, is how we feel about it.Our concept of time is indeed,our reality.”Fortunately, Dr. Etkin and her team did find ways of making us feel better about timeo

45、r, at least, of reducing the negative influence of goal conflict. When participants performed a breathing exercise that reduced their anxiety, the impact of such conflict on their perception of time was less pronounced. Reframing anxiety as excitement (by reading the phrase I am excited! aloud sever

46、al times) had a similar effect.Breathing and reframing may not solve everyones time problemsMs. Schulte writes that some Americans are indeed working more than they used to. She cites the work of the sociologists Michael Hout and Caroline Hanley, who have found that working parents combined put in 1

47、3 more hours a week on the job in 2000 than they did in 1970. Thats 676 hours of additionally paid work a year for a family. And thats on top of all the unpaid hours spent caring for children and keeping the house together. Sometimes, we may feel short on time because we actually are. However, Dr. E

48、tkin believes her findings suggest we may have the ability to influence our experience of time more than we think we do.Were all going to have times in our lives when our goals seem to be in more conflict than others, she said. But with techniques like the ones her team tested, we really can help ou

49、rselves feel like we have more time.58.What makes people feel rushed today?A.Goal conflict.B. High pressure. C.Too much expectation.D. Lack of exercise.59.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Most people are having less work to do nowadays.B. People under a lot of st

50、ress have a better sense of time. C. Technological advances allow people to feel less stressed.D. The flexibility of work increases white-collar workers pressure.60. The underlined sentence Our concept of time is, indeed, our reality. means_A.we should make full use of time B.we value time more than

51、 the way we liveC.we can feel better about time if we want toD.we dont have the time to enjoy life in realitycOver the years the unthinkable has become thinkable and today we sense we are close to being able to alter human heredity #). These were the words of David Baltimore of the California Instit

52、ute of Technology, on December 1st, when he opened a three-day meeting in Washington to discuss the morality and use of human gene editing. Dr Baltimore is an old hand at these sorts of discussions, for he was also a participant in the Asilomar conference, in 1975, which brought scientists together

53、to discuss a safe way of using the then-new tcchnology of recombinant DNA, and whose recommendations influenced a generation of biotechnology researchers.Four decades on, the need for a similar sort of chin-wag has arisen. The International Summit on Human Gene Editing has been held by the national

54、scientific academies of three countries America, Britain and China. They are particularly concerned about whether gene editing should be used to make heritable changes to the human germ line, something Dr Baltimore described as a deep and troubling question. Like those of Asilomar, the conclusions o

55、f this meeting will not be binding. But the hope is that, again like Asilomar, a mixture of common sense and peer pressure will create a world in which scientists are trusted to regulate themselves, rather than having politicians and civil servants do it for them. The meeting is being held against a

56、 backdrop of rapid scientific advance, Since 2012 research into a new, easy-to-use editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9 has blossomed. This technique involves a piece of RNA (a chemical messenger, which can be used to recognise a target section of DNA) and an enzyme (酶) called a nuclease that can snip un

57、wanted genes out and paste new ones in.Public interest was aroused in April, when Chinese scientists announced they had edited genes in non-viable ( 无活力的) human embryos, and again in November when British researchers said they had successfully treated a one-year-old girl who had leukaemia ( 白血病), using gene-edited T-cells. T-cells are part of the immune system that attack, among other things, tumour cells. The researchers altered T-cells from a healthy donor to encoura
