Learning to lose without losing your cool is a skill, like learning to ride a bike.___1.___ and when you can handle losing; people will call you a good sport.

Why must we learn to lose gracefully(文雅地)?Here is the answer:

___2.___But any time two teams or kids are facing each other in a game or contest, someone will lose (unless it’s a tie平局).Kids lose in small ways, like in a game of checkers(西洋跳棋),but they also might face losing in bigger ways, like when their team loses a championship(锦标赛) game.

If you lose your wallet, how often do you think someone will be kind enough to return it to you, with cash and credit cards?

Some people may be greedy, and others are simply too lazy to bother(打搅) with the trip to the post office to send back a wallet to a stranger. But according to a psychology study by Dr. Richard Wiseman, there’s one thing that’ll greatly increase your odds of being reunited with a lost wallet: a photograph of a cute baby.

In the study, hundreds of wallets were scattered(分散) around the streets of Edinburgh, Scotland. The psychologists wanted to see how many strangers would take the trouble to return them to the addresses listed on the drivers’ licenses inside—but more than that, they wanted to find out what would make a person more likely to help out a stranger.

To finish this, they included personal things in most of the wallets: some included a photo of a happy elderly couple, some contained a cute puppy, some contained a family portrait, and some held a photo of a lovely baby. Others had receipts(发票) showing that the wallet’s owner had recently donated to a charity（慈善）. Some contained no personal details.

As the psychologists soon discovered, the sight of a smiling baby is enough to warm nearly any heart: only one in ten of the strangers who retrieved such wallets did not return them. In contrast, the second most successful image, the puppy, had a 53% return rate. When the wallet included no photograph, it stood only a one in seven chance of being returned to the owner.

The success of the baby photograph shows a human compassion(同情) for the young that’s been passed down through the ages, according to Dr. Wiseman. “The baby kicked off a caring feeling in people, which is not surprising from an evolutionary perspective(进化的角度),” he told the Times.

To ensure our species’ survival, scientists think that we must feel empathy and compassion for our young. Scientists say that this study supports the argument that we won’t feel compassion only for our own babies, but for any that we see—hence, the strong desire a stranger would feel to return a wallet to the baby’s parent.

On a more basic level, the study also provides a great tip to help ensure that if your wallet is ever lost, you’re more likely to get it back. “If you want to increase the chances of your wallet being returned if lost, gain a photograph of the cutest baby you can find and ensure that it is clearly displayed,” said Dr. Wiseman.

1.The main purpose of the psychologists’ leaving hundreds of wallets around was to find out________.

A．whether people were as honest as before

B．what made people willing to help strangers

C．what kind of feelings could be caused by a smiling baby

D．how evolution influenced human beings

2.The underlined word “retrieved” in Para. 5 probably means “________”.

A．picked up         B．spread out         C．found out         D．looked for

3.Why did people return a wallet with a photograph of a cute baby in it?

A．Because the wallet was not attractive enough to keep.

B．Because the sight of a baby could cause a caring feeling in them.

C．Because they were curious to know the parents of the baby

D．Because the sight of a cute baby reminded them of their own children.

4.If there are 30 lost wallets with a photograph of a cute baby, how many of them will probably be returned?

A．Only 3.           B．About 15.         C．20 or so.          D．About 27.

5.We can learn from the last two paragraphs that________.

A．humans usually have compassion for the young

B．the caring feeling in people is gone during evolution

C．scientists believed that people only feel compassion for their own babies

D．a wallet with a cute baby’s picture in it cannot be lost

How would you want visitors to behave in your own home? 1. There are many ways of doing this without sacrificing our own holiday.

Do your homework. 2. Guides will help you when you get to the site, but is that the best place to go? Is it popular only because the one-day tourist can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit？You’d better check it out.

This way, you don’t encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites.

Travel Is Good For Your Health

Americans are losing their vacation days, leading to more stress, anxiety and other negative effects because of not taking time off from work. In fact, a report by Project: Time Off, shows U.S. employees took about 16 vacation days in 2013, down from about 20 in 2000. Apart from taking away yourself the chance to improve your productivity and work performance, not taking a break can lead to overloaded stress and other potentially damaging. 1.

After all, vacations offer the chance to relax and restore your health. 2. You should travel to new places because traveling somewhere new can enable you to put yourself in new surroundings and recharge your brain power.

3. According to Dr. Margaret J. King, the director of the Center for Cultural Studies & Analysis, “There are lots of psychological benefits when you travel from home and work to ‘third places’, not just experiencing the environment. With a short list of activities each day, freed up from the projects and relationships, the mind can reset, as does the body, with stress relief the main outcome.” she says.

Little sleep mixed with high stress can lead to anger and negative consequences on your cognitive performance and efficiency. Max Hirshkowitz, chairman of the board of the National Sleep Foundation says a vacation is a great opportunity to catch up on sleep. 4. “Keep that time,” he says. “Make it an important thing you need.”

A 2014 survey conducted by Diamond Resorts International found over three-quarters of people said feeling happier when they planned a trip at least once a year. Dr. Leigh Vinocur, a certified physician and spokesperson for the American College of Emergency Physicians, isn’t surprised by the findings. “It’s hard to sit on a beautiful beach somewhere and think about paperwork or deadlines. That is why over three-quarters of people to the Diamond Resorts International survey reported feeling happier when they regularly had a vacation. Regular vacations while taking time for yourself and your family lowers your stress level. 5.” she says. Besides, studies show that looking back on the pleasant vacation may keep happiness long after your trip.

A.They have bad effects on your health, experts say.

B.Traveling has many advantages, with stress relief topping the list.

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

A listener has written from China for advice about how to lose weight. Michael in Shanghai says he is 26 and has battled with fatness for most of his life.

Weight problem is a complex condition. A doctor may advise taking medicine along with changing one's behaviors. Experts say that the most successful weight－loss plans include a well－balanced diet and exercise. People who want to avoid weight gain have to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use. To lose weight，you can reduce the number of calories you take in，increase the number you use, or both.

A recent study looked at four of the most popular dieting plans in the US. Researchers at Stanford University in California studied over 300 overweight women，mostly in their thirties and forties. Each woman went on one of the four plans：Atkins，The Zone, Ornish or LEARN. The women attended diet classes and received written information about the food plans.

At the end of the year，the women on the Atkins diet had lost the most，more than four and one－half kilograms on average. They also did better on tests for cholesterol（胆固醇）levels and blood pressure.

Christopher Gardner，who led the study，says the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to eat less sugar. He says that there was not enough money to study men，but that men would probably have similar results.

Last week，another report based on thirty－one studies suggested that only a few people have long－term success with dieting. It says those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised.

1.Which is a doctor’s advice for weight loss?

A. Taking medicine.　　 B. A well-balanced diet.

C. Exercise.　　 D. Balancing the number of calories.

2.Which diet plan is most helpful according to the study?

A. Atkins.　　 B. The Zone.

C. Ornish.　　 D. LEARN.

3.What is the best way to lose weight from the last paragraph?

A. To eat less.　　 B. To eat healthy food.

C. To exercise.　　 D. To be on diet.

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Men will become overweight in their thirties and forties.

B. Women gain less weight than men.

C. Dieters will have low blood pressure.

D. Dieters may regain weight if they stop dieting.

Are you afraid of your weight? How to lose your weight? You may think eating less is the answer. 1.. The following tips do work.

♦ Eat breakfast everyday

2.. A survey found that men who eat breakfast weight about 2.7 kilograms less than men who skip it; women weight 4 kilograms less. And a 10-year study of almost 2,400 adolescent girls showed that those who ate any kind of breakfast had lower BMIs than girls who did not.

♦ 3.

Eat a bowl of brown rice with chickpeas and vegetables for lunch. It’s likely you won’t want another bite until supper. High-fiber food like these have few calories.
