28、is travel umbrella is reinforced with fiberglass to help it resist stormy weather. It can be opened with one hand at the push of a button ($10;amazon.co.uk).The Handbag Raincoat If youve splashed (挥霍）out on a good handbag,you dont want it to be ruined in a downpour.

Hunter Womens

32、olded using a button BPleasingly, a new study supports one of my favourite insights about writing, or getting any creative work done- though Im pretty sure that wasnt intentional, since the researchers were actually studying traffic jams. Jonathan Boreyko, an American engineering professor, was craw

33、ling along in his ear one day, observing how drivers naturally bunch up at red lights, leaving mere inches between vehicles. Their motivation isnt a mystery: the closer you are to the car ahead, you d assume, the better your chances of squeezing through before the light goes back to red, and the soo

34、ner youll reach your destination, even if you also increase the risk of collisions.But youd assume wrong. When Boreyko and a colleague recreated the traffic-light scenario (场景) on a special test track, they found that drivers who bunched up made no swifter progress. True, they stopped slightly close

35、r to the light. But it also took them longer to resume (继续) moving safely, and these two factors cancelled each other out. Theres no point in getting closer to the car in front of you when traffic comes to a stop, Boreyko concluded.This is true of writing or similar work. People never rest in urgent

36、 pursuit of their goals. Yes, it all looks impressively productive. But as the psychologist Robert Boice argues, racing to get a task completed generally brings a cost that outweighs the benefit. You tire yourself out, so you cant shine the next day. Or you neglect so many other duties that youre fo

37、rced to take an extra day to catch up. Or you start damaging work youve already produced- which is why the novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez said he gave up writing in the afternoon: he wrote more, but he had to redo it the next morning, so the overall effect was to slow him down. Thats also why Boice

38、 insists that, when youre writing on a schedule, its as important to be disciplined about stopping as starting, even if youre on a roll.Clearly, this is all a convenient way to feel superior to people who put in more hours. But that doesnt mean its untrue. Indeed, its scary to ask what role impatien

39、ce plays in your life in genera!: how much of each day we spend leaning into the future, trying to get tasks out of the way, always focused on the destination, metaphorically (隐喻地) inching closer and closer to the bumper of the car ahead. None of it gets us anywhere faster. Its also no way to live.5

40、8. Which of the following best summarizes the finding of Boreykos study?A. The sooner, the better. B. More haste, no extra speed.C. The early bird catches the worm. D. Chances favour the prepared mind.59. The author wants to tell us that in creative work _.A. tight planning avoids chaos B. overwork

41、polishes our imagesC. impatience almost never pays D. afternoon time is less productive60. The author writes the passage to _.A. advise people to stop racing B. instruct people to write skillfullyC. persuade people to treasure time D. warn people to obey traffic rulesCIn the famous musical My Fair L

42、ady, Eliza Doolittle, the poor daughter of a dustman who speaks with a thick Cockney accent, becomes the unwitting (不知晓的）target for a bet between two phonetics scholars. By the end of the musical, Doolittle is able to pronounce all of her words like a member of the British elite, fooling everyone at

43、 an embassy ball about her true origins.Its hard to imagine a version of My Fair Lady set in the U.S. because,unlike the British, Americans seem either unwilling or unable to honestly acknowledge their own social class. But a new set of scientific studies conducted by Michael Krauss and his colleagu

44、es at Yale University show that Americans find it easy to make distinctions about other peoples social class just by listening to them speaking. In one study, the researchers asked 229 people to listen to 27 different speakers who varied in terms of their age, race, gender and social class. The part

45、icipants heard each speaker say a total of seven different words. Based on just this short audio, participants were able to correctly identify which speakers were college-educated 55 percent of the time-more than what would be expected by chance. A major limitation of this study, however,was that it

46、 used college education as a criterion for social class. Then in another experiment, 302 participants were asked to either listen to or read transcripts (文本）from 90 seconds of recorded speech in which the speakers talked about themselves without explicitly mentioning anything about their social clas

47、s. Participants were asked to judge what they thought the social classes of the speakers were by using a 10-rung ascending (上升的）ladder of increasing income, education and occupation.They found that participants who heard the audio recordings were more accurate in judging where the speakers fell in t

48、erms of their social status.To show whether these inferences have real-world consequences, Kraus and his colleagues ran another experiment. They recruited 274 participants, all of whom had past hiring experience, to either listen to the audio or read a transcript of the content. The findings showed

49、that participants were able to accurately judge the social class of the candidates and that this effect was stronger for participants who had heard the audio recordings. In addition, participants judged the higher-class candidates as more competent, a better fit for the job and more likely to be hir

50、ed.Taken together, this research suggests that despite our discomfort about the topic, Americans are able to easily detect one another s social class from small snippets of speech. Moreover, we use this information to discriminate against people who seem to be of a lower social class.This research i

51、dentifies social class as another potential way that employers may discriminate against candidates, perhaps without even realizing it.61.The author introduces his topic by_.A.making a comparison B.justifying an assumptionC.explaining a phenomenon D.relating the plot of a musical62.What do the experi

52、ments suggest? A.Participants tend to make objective judgments.B.The content rather than the speaking style is reliable.C.Ones social class can be inferred from how they speak.D Education and income are the main criteria for social status.63.According to the passage, judgments about the way people t

53、alk_.A.disagree with the facts B.affect hiring decisions C.favour competent people D.hardly provide reference 64.What can be learned from the last paragraph?A.Americans are slow to judge social classes.B.People in a low social class lose jobs easily.C.Social-class discrimination is hard to address.D

54、.Speech can create social-class discrimination.DGrab an ice cube from the freezer and place it on a table. Watch closely enough and you will see, well, not much at all. The ice cube is absorbing heat, but it is still an ice cube. Before it melts, it will draw heat from the environment to change from

55、 solid to liquid. Only then will it begin to slip and slide in a puddle of its own making.And so to A Word Without Ice by Henry Pollack, retired professor of geophysics at the University of Michigan and a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that shared the 2007 Nobel peace

56、 prize with Al Gore.The book gets off to a slow start. You may have to work a little before being rewarded. But given time, Pollacks account warms up and really takes off. The story he has to tell is fascinating, frightening and important.Despite the title, this is not a book about the world without

57、 ice. Much is given over to the impact of ice in Earths long history, as an important force that shaped our planets landscape, controlled migrations and influenced cultures. Pollack takes us through Antarctic and Arctic explorations, the natural cycles that bring us ice ages and milder periods witho

58、ut extremes of heat or cold, and the rise of climate science which, among other achievements, can recreate a history of the temperature on Earth from kilometers of ice core drilled from the polar caps.Pollacks intellectual power and clarity of phrase are invaluable in describing the scientific evide

59、nce for global warming, the ways in which it will affect the world, and the all -too-probable consequences. Pollack is not one to brush awkward issues under the carpet. There is serious discussion about uncertainties in climate science, and in particular, the computer models used to forecast future

60、warming. For its forensic analysis (取证分析) and strong destruction of climate sceptic (怀疑论者) arguments alone, A World Without Ice is worth keeping on a nearby shelf.Some readers may find Pollacks US-centric approach occasionally grating (刺耳的). He tells of intense irrigation in southwestern Kansas, IPC
