It took me two years, Kaitlin said. We started small. We wanted to do something to make a

13、difference.”In 2014, When Kaitlin was thirteen, she visited Central America, and saw people going hungry and families living in houses made of cardboard. That year, we set Kids on a Mission, which has helped hundreds of people there.“The rooms were smaller than my bedroom, but there would be eight p

14、eople living in each one, Kaitlin said. “We also got to see the dirty rivers that those people were drinking out of.”Providing clean drinking water, food and clothes for people living in poverty is now an important task for Kids on a Mission. “This young lady is changing the hearts of people, and al

Her glass eyes were especially horrible, closing when she stood u

18、pright and flying open when she lay flat. Once she had been loved, but she had been stored in an attic (阁楼) for decades, where the extremes of heat and cold can be hard on a girls looks. Throw her in the waste bin? Maybe. But first, lets check eBay.I clicked, supplied the required information about

19、condition, including defects (i.e., “Only a miracle could save this doll”), and uploaded its photos. I sold it for $5.The buyer was happy: “As described!” he wrote on my feedback page. “Super seller!” The doll found a home and, I hope, a new life. Maybe she was used to repair other dolls. Perhaps th

20、ose strange eyes got fixed and once again can inspire a childs love. Its a win-win, if you ask me.I also sold lots of other stuff. None of them brought in a lot of money, though I have been surprised at the occasional bidding war, like, for example, the one over an old swimsuit that would have made

21、Brigitte Bardot look bad. And some customers, lets face it, are strange. Recently I had a hard time convincing an Australian would-be buyer of an Irish souvenir bell that I dont shop internationally; its just too much trouble. He could have flown to Ireland and bought his own bell for the price he w

22、as willing to pay. Another time, a buyer complained that the electric wire on an old radio was dirty. Really? Dirty? The wire was black. But I aim to please, so I offered a refund.So why bother with the dealing and small profits? Because I dont like abandoning the past. All these treasures once had

23、stories. They meant something. But the people who gave them that meaning are gone, and I simply cannot rescue everything. I cant even sew.

26、is interested in marketing.DShe wants their stories to be continued.23（8分）Persuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks，there are three basic tools of persuasion：ethos，pathos，and logos.Ethos is a speakers way of convincing the audience that she is tru

27、stworthy，honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all，youre more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by conv

28、incing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you，you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speakers way of connecting with an audiences emotions. For example，a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the

29、country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear，thus making them support him. Similarly，an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats，to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals，they will be more likely to

30、 donate money.Logos is the use of facts，statistics，or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply sayingbelieve me.Although ethos，pathos，and lo

31、gos all have their strengths，they are often most effective when used together. Indeed，most speakers use a combination of ethos，pathos，and logos to persuade their audiences. So，the next time you listen to a speech，watch a commercial，or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money，be

32、on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.1、Why does the author say persuasion is an art？ _AThey both entertain the audience.BThey both require great skills to achieve.CThey both demand full attention from the audience.DThey were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.2、How is

33、a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience？ _ABy expressing her sympathy with the audience.BBy telling the audience about her personal preference.CBy using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.DBy showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic.3、What can we learn ab

34、out the three aspects of persuasion？ _AEthos is the most important aspect of persuasion.BEach aspect has a different effect on the audience.CHonesty is the key to making your arguments believable.DPolitical leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.4、An advertisement for washing powder wh

36、zled thinkers since Aristotle expected that humans, given their thin skin and unique ability to laugh, were the only ticklish animals.It turns out that Aristotle was wrong. In their study published on Thursday, Ishiyama and his adviser Michael Brecht found that rats squeaked and jumped with pleasure

37、 when tickled on their backs and bellies. These signs of joy changed according to their moods. And for the first time, they discovered a special group of nerve cells. These nerve cells made this feeling so powerful that it causes an individual being tickled to lose control.To make sure that he had i

38、ndeed found a place in the brain where tickling was processed, Ishiyama then stimulated(刺激) that area with electrical currents. The rats began to jump like rabbits and sing like birds.“Its truly ground-breaking,” said Jeffrey Burgdorf, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University who reviewed the pap

39、er. “It takes the study of emotion to a new level.”Burgdorf has played a central role in our understanding of animal tickling. He was part of a team that first noticed, in the late 1990s, that rats made special noises when they were experiencing social pleasure. Others had already noted that rats re

40、peatedly made short and high sounds during meals. But the lab where Burgdorf worked noticed that they emitted similar sounds while playing. And so one day, the senior scientist in the lab said, “Lets go and tickle some rats.” They quickly found that those cries of pleasure doubled.“The authors have

41、been very adventurous,” said Daniel OConnor, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University who studies touch. To him, that finding was very surprising.“Why does the world literally feel different when you are stressed out?” he said. “This is the first step towards answering that question. It gives us

42、 a way to approach it with experimental rigor(严谨).”1、What contributed to humans being ticklish according to Aristotle?ATheir special skin. BTheir social pleasure.CTheir nervous system. DTheir willingness to touch.2、Why did the researchers make use of electrical currents?ATo discover the special grou

43、p of nerve cells.BTo experiment on different animals.CTo follow the process of tickling.DTo prove their finding.3、Which of the following statements will Jeffrey Burgdorf agree with?AThe research process is full of risks.BThe finding of the study is surprising and unbelievable.CThe new discovery is b

44、eneficial for the study of emotion.DThe finding of the study actually contradicts modern science.4、The underlined word “squeak” in Paragraph 2 may be explained by _.Agive a smile Bmake a noiseCburst into tears Dwatch with staring eyes5、What is the best title for the text?AThe Life of Rats BHow Rats
