19、；满分40分）A My first performance in front of an audience was coming up soon. I tried as hard as I could to remain calm, but my heart was racing. I stared down at my sweat-covered, shaking hands. I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were real people. They were not just my mum and dad,

20、 who would say, “Good job!” even if I messed up the entire piece. What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes? As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight (聚光灯) was waiting for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat. S

21、lowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the center of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played. I swallowed the golf-ball-sized lump (隆起部分) in my throat and sat down. Slowly, I opened the music. Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory (象牙色的) k

22、eys. As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my years of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece so many times that I could play it backwards if requested. Although at one point I accidentally p

23、layed two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically (自动地). My eyes burned holes into (were fixed on) the pages in front of me. There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music.

24、 When I came to the end of the page, a warning went off inside my head: DONT MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE! Needless to say, I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind. And, proud of my “turning” feat (技艺), I finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake. After the final not

30、relationshipsJudging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even beating evidence that a “cold” person may be more capableMuch of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical s

31、ensations, particularly warmth and coldnessClassic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottleHarlows work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the

32、 need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skillsFeelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universalAlthough no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is c

38、tionDDeveloping Better Drinking HabitsCIn recent years, especially during the 1960s, there was much discussion about “the brain drain（流失）,” which dealt with the problem of students and learned people who left their own countries for other countries that offered better chances for study, research, an

Over 30 percent of Chilean engineers and 15 percent of Turkish physicians also went to

40、work in other countries. Probably the greatest brain drain occurred among young scientists who had gone abroad to study.
