Alt

11、hough they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on

12、the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their rem

13、arks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows

14、 into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imag

15、ination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at

16、 getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should cha

17、nge this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact (接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in

18、 their quarrels.1、The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means_.Ahave a good taste with social life Bmake others unhappyCtend to scold others openly Denjoy the pleasure of life2、We can conclude from the passage that _.Awe should pity all such unhappy peopleBsuch unhappy people are dan

19、gerous to social lifeCpeople can get rid of the habit of unhappinessDunhappy people can not understand happy persons3、If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _.Aprevent any communication with themBshow no respect and politeness to themCpersuade the

27、le jazz”, which was also called dance music, and combining it with trumpeter(小号手) Buddy Bolden, to create what would eventually become todays jazz.Armstrong accomplished this with almost no formal training. He received little training before he was placed in the New Orleans Colored Waifs Home at the

28、 age of 12, after a run-in(小争执) with the police.

Cornetist Freddie Keppard performed in a nearby club

29、. So did trumpeter and bandleader King Joe Oliver, who took the boy under his wing and taught him how to read music and work on his playing technique.When Oliver left for Chicago, Armstrong chose to stay in New Orleans and work with some of the other top musicians of the day. In Chicago, King Oliver

30、 offered him a place in his band in 1922. It became Armstrongs biggest challenge yet the band had no parts written for trumpet, so he was forced to listen to King Oliver and improvise(即兴创作).Soon, Armstrongs undeniable talent was getting noticed.

31、the incredible sounds this young man created.Lil Hardin, the bands piano player and the future Mrs. Armstrong, explained that Oliver kept Armstrong in the second trumpet-chair so that Oliver would still be “King”. Hardin convinced him to leave the band.Armstrong moved to New York City in 1924 to joi

36、gland published their findings on facial recognition that, on average, people can remember as many as 5,000 faces.There have been many studies recently on facial recognition technology. But the authors of this study say theirs is the first time that scientists have been able to put a number to the a

37、bilities of humans to recognize faces. Rob Jenkins, leader of the research, said the researchers study centered on “the number of faces people actually know.” and were not able to discover whether there is a “limit on how many faces the brain can handle.”Jenkins said the ability to tell individual p

38、eople apart is “clearly important.” In todays modern world of big cities, we meet and deal with thousands of people. The study suggests our facial recognition abilities help us to deal with the many different faces we see on the screens, as well as those we know. The results of the study give a base

39、line for comparing the “facial vocabulary” of humans with facial recognition software.Today, facial recognition technology is used in many ways, including by law enforcement agencies to prevent crime and violence. Governments use it to keep secret areas secure and, in extreme cases, control populati

40、ons. Some governments use the software to watch people and find out where they go and what they do. Even Facebook uses facial recognition. For example, when you name a friend, Facebook technology may recognize the persons face from a different picture you had shared before.For the human study, peopl

41、e spent one hour writing down as many faces from their personal lives as possible. At first, they found it easy to come up with many faces. But by the end of the hour, they found it harder to think of new ones. Their change in speed let the researchers estimate when they would have run out of faces

42、completely. 1,000 to 10,000 faces remembered. People who took part in the study were also shown thousands of photographs of famous people. Researchers asked them which ones they recognized. To make sure they knew these people, researchers required them to recognize two different photos of each famou

43、s person. The results showed that the participants knew between 1,000 and 10,000 faces.How do they explain such a wide range? Jenkins said one explanation may be that some people have a natural ability for remembering faces. “There are differences in how much attention people pay to faces and how we

44、ll they process the information.” Also it could be because of different social environments. Some people may have grown up in more populated places. So, they may have had more social contact throughout their lives.Researchers think age may be an interesting area for further research. “It would be in

45、teresting to see whether there is a peak age for the number of faces we know”, Jenkins said. He said it is possible that we gather more faces throughout our lifetime. But, he added, there also may be an age at which we start to find it harder to remember all of those faces.1、What can we learn from t
