Junk Food! Bad For Wallet!
A new study confirms what you may already know: Few things can stop us from hunting down the foods we really like.
The study (14) ______ (publish) on Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that people are willing to overpay when they are longing for junk food.
In one experiment, 44 non-dieters who (15)______ (not eat) for four hours were asked how much they wanted 15 different snack foods, and how much they would pay for each item out of a $5 plan. Next, each person went through a multi-sensory experience which was aimed (16) ______ (stimulate) desire for one of three desirable foods: a Snickers bar, Cheetos or a Coke. They were then asked how much they wanted that particular item, and how much they would pay for (17) ______.
Not only did desire increase, but the researchers also found that participants were willing to pay (18) ______ average of $0.66 more for whatever they wanted. When they can choose from less similar (and thus, healthier) items, such as cereal, they were not willing to pay as much, (19) ______ suggests desire for food is different from general hunger.
In a second experiment, the researchers repeated the process with 45 people. This time, however, individuals (20) ______ choose to pay for one, two, three, five or eight “units” of whatever they wanted. The researchers found people were also willing to pay disproportionately (不成比例) more for (21) ______ (large) quantities of whatever food they desired.
“(22) ______ people try to eat healthier or promote drug-free lifestyles,” the researchers write in the paper, “desire could overshadow (使逊色) the value of health by boosting the values of unhealthy foods and drugs.”
On the bright side, however, the researchers estimated the effects (23) ______ subjects’ desire would disappear within two hours, and probably less time if this good is not available, or when a person is self-regulated.

The main reason, it seems, has been Hongyadong’s sudden (26) ______ on Douyin. For a while, it became the biggest attraction in China after only the Forbidden City, according to travel website Mafengwo.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
If you find yourself unable to go more than 15 minutes without reaching into your pocket, pulling out your smartphone and checking your e-mail or microblog, don’t worry. You are hardly alone.
A recent survey in the scientific journal Personal and Ubiquitous Computing shows that smartphone users have developed what the researchers call “checking habit”—repetitive checks of e-mail and other applications.
The checks typically lasted less than 30 seconds and were often done within 10 minutes of each other. On average, the study subjects check their phones 34 times a day. And the surprising part is that they don’t even realize they are doing it. “I hadn’t told my hand to reach out for the phone. It seemed to be doing it all on its own,” wrote Elizabeth Cohen, a medical journalist for CNN who watched her right hand going away from her side to grab her phone sitting on the table at dinner with friends.
Loren Frank, a scientist at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), explains that checking smartphones is rewarding in some way. “Each time you get an e-mail, it’s a positive feedback that you’re an important person,” Frank told CNN. “Once the brain becomes accustomed to this positive feedback, reaching out for the phone becomes an automatic action you don’t even think about consciously,” said Frank.
Professor Clifford Nass of Standford University added that constantly consulting your smartphone is also “an attempt to not have to think hard but feel like you are doing something”.
However, this habit can cause problems. Studies show that whenever you take a break from what you are doing to check your smartphone, it is hard to go back to your original task, according to Adam Gazzaley, a neurologist at UCSF.
That’s not the worst. A survey shows that smartphones are killing close relationship. About half of the people in the survey said they had had fights with their boyfriend or girlfriend because of smartphones.
49. Which of the following is true about the recent survey in Personal and Ubiquitous Computing
A. Participants of the survey tend to pull out their smartphone every 15 minutes.
B. Smartphone users have developed a “checking habit”.
C. To check one’s email and microblog takes no less than 10 minutes.
D. On average, people check their phones 34 times a day.
50. The story of Elizabeth Cohen is mentioned in paragraph 3 to prove that ______.
A. she doesn’t really enjoy having dinner with friends
B. she has a serious problem with her right hand
C. people really can’t get away from their phones
D. people don’t even realize their checking habit
51. According to Loren Frank of UCSF, why do people enjoy checking their phones
A. Because checking phones brings them real life rewards.
B. Because owing smartphones makes them important people.
C. Because getting something like e-mail brings a positive feeling.
D. Because checking a phone makes them feel like doing something.
52. According to the passage, the worst problem the checking habit can cause may be ______.
A. incapability to concentrate on the task
B. neurological problems hard to deal with
C. damage done to close relationship
D. a lot of efforts to fight the habit

Working on holidays has always been something of a class divide. From the 1870s through the 1920s, upper-middle-class Americans often lived with “the help”—mostly women of color whose job was to cook and clean and care for others, day and night. While shows like Downton Abbey seek to give life to servants, they also sanitize (粉饰) what was a cruel existence. It was common for a housemaid (女仆)’s day to begin well before the family rose and extend until after they retired for the evening. They did so seven days a week; working more than 80 hours a week — more than the 65 hours most factory workers worked at the time. While we often imagine that these women were young and single, Evelyn Nakano Glenn’s research on such care providers has shown that over 30% of them were married, many with children. As they worked very hard for families not of their own, they left their children, parents, brothers and sisters, and husbands behind. November and December was no doubt one of the hardest times of the year, and their own families felt their absence.
The labor movement was central to changing this sorry situation (though labor laws almost never cover domestic workers). Unions raised salaries, lowered hours, had a minimum salary and secured holidays off for workers. Those who did have to work on national holidays were guaranteed (保证的) overtime pay. When unions were strong, such benefits even extended to non-unionized workers. But as unions have declined, part-time work has increased. And this has meant lower salaries and greater uncertainty. For most part-time workers, that’s one of the better jobs. And still, it’s a job without health insurance, or a retirement plan, with changes that make it hard to take additional employment. Most of these workers wish they could work more, but employers would rather hire other part-timers. So when the boss says, “Can you work Thanksgiving ”, workers have no real choice but to be “willing”.
Today, working on holidays carries no guarantee of extra pay in the United States, and not working can mean losing one’s job. That is the irony (讽刺的) to the trend of stores opening on Thanksgiving. On the same day that we give thanks for all we have, why must we also rush out to buy more Someone might say, “It’s just the law of the market!” But the law of the market is not some mysterious process. It is the result of the decisions that we make.
56. According to the author, what do shows like Downton Abbey sanitize
A. The workload of domestic servants was very heavy.
B. Most of the house helpers should be of color.
C. Housemaids were usually married women, many with children.
D. The class divide was not that obvious in real life.
57. After the labor movement, powerful unions helped a lot EXCEPT that ______.
A. housemaids could also have the holidays off
B. even non-unionized workers enjoyed more benefits
C. people were given higher wages on the same position
D. most workers worked for fewer hours every week
58. The workers have no choice but to be “willing” to work on Thanksgiving because ______.
A. part-time workers’ salaries are lower and they wish to earn more
B. part-time work itself means a lot of changes
C. they want to take any additional employment when possible
D. they may otherwise be replaced by other willing part-timers
59. What does the writer think of the trend of shopping on holidays
A. It is dangerous because a lot of workers will stop working.
B. It is a kind of protection to help those poor part-time workers.
C. It is against the true holiday spirits, especially Thanksgiving.
D. It is ironic because the law of the market decides what we do.

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. But, I can tell you that homeworking requires special skills like time management. B. Not everyone agrees with Sunjit though. C. Actually, I found it hard to work from home at first. D. In Britain, there are 2.1 million people who work from home at present. AB. Sunjit has a lot of supporters. AC. Other reasons for homeworking are the benefits to both employers and employees.
Working-from-home dream now a reality
Sunjit Patel is a graphic designer with a well known publishing company. He has lived in England since he was five. He lives in South London, and for the last three years he has been working from home. Sunjit isn’t alone. ___60___ In addition, about eight million people spend some time working in the home rather in an office. This is almost twice as many as ten years ago.
This rapidly-growing trend towards working from home is the same in many countries. But why The main reason is technological: easy access to the Internet and the availability of phone and video-conferencing. These enable people to use their home as an office in an efficient and cost-effective way.
___61___ Office space is costly, so if an organization can reduce its workstations, it may be able to move to a smaller site. Employees often work better at home: travelling to work can be tiring and costs a lot time. Many homeworkers save a lot of time if they don’t travel to work and they can start the day fresher and there work more efficiently.
Sunjit Patel says, “I have been working from home since my son was born and have been really enjoying it. ___62___ I have known my boss and colleagues for a long time now, which really helps because you’ve got to trust each other. You also need to have regular contact, by phone, email or video conferences, and you need to make regular trips to your office. Otherwise you really miss out on the gossip and on the social side of work.”
___63___ This response to a survey on homeworking was recently posted on the Internet: ‘The only people who can work from home are those who do an unnecessary job. Can surgeons work from home Ambulance drivers If you can work from home full-time, you have a pointless job.’

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
If you find yourself unable to go more than 15 minutes without reaching into your pocket, pulling out your smartphone and checking your e-mail or microblog, don’t worry. You are hardly alone.
A recent survey in the scientific journal Personal and Ubiquitous Computing shows that smartphone users have developed what the researchers call “checking habit”—repetitive checks of e-mail and other applications.
The checks typically lasted less than 30 seconds and were often done within 10 minutes of each other. On average, the study subjects check their phones 34 times a day. And the surprising part is that they don’t even realize they are doing it. “I hadn’t told my hand to reach out for the phone. It seemed to be doing it all on its own,” wrote Elizabeth Cohen, a medical journalist for CNN who watched her right hand going away from her side to grab her phone sitting on the table at dinner with friends.
Loren Frank, a scientist at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), explains that checking smartphones is rewarding in some way. “Each time you get an e-mail, it’s a positive feedback that you’re an important person,” Frank told CNN. “Once the brain becomes accustomed to this positive feedback, reaching out for the phone becomes an automatic action you don’t even think about consciously,” said Frank.
Professor Clifford Nass of Standford University added that constantly consulting your smartphone is also “an attempt to not have to think hard but feel like you are doing something”.
However, this habit can cause problems. Studies show that whenever you take a break from what you are doing to check your smartphone, it is hard to go back to your original task, according to Adam Gazzaley, a neurologist at UCSF.
That’s not the worst. A survey shows that smartphones are killing close relationship. About half of the people in the survey said they had had fights with their boyfriend or girlfriend because of smartphones.
49. Which of the following is true about the recent survey in Personal and Ubiquitous Computing
A. Participants of the survey tend to pull out their smartphone every 15 minutes.
B. Smartphone users have developed a “checking habit”.
C. To check one’s email and microblog takes no less than 10 minutes.
D. On average, people check their phones 34 times a day.
50. The story of Elizabeth Cohen is mentioned in paragraph 3 to prove that ______.
A. she doesn’t really enjoy having dinner with friends
B. she has a serious problem with her right hand
C. people really can’t get away from their phones
D. people don’t even realize their checking habit
51. According to Loren Frank of UCSF, why do people enjoy checking their phones
A. Because checking phones brings them real life rewards.
B. Because owing smartphones makes them important people.
C. Because getting something like e-mail brings a positive feeling.
D. Because checking a phone makes them feel like doing something.
52. According to the passage, the worst problem the checking habit can cause may be ______.
A. incapability to concentrate on the task
B. neurological problems hard to deal with
C. damage done to close relationship
D. a lot of efforts to fight the habit

Working on holidays has always been something of a class divide. From the 1870s through the 1920s, upper-middle-class Americans often lived with “the help”—mostly women of color whose job was to cook and clean and care for others, day and night. While shows like Downton Abbey seek to give life to servants, they also sanitize (粉饰) what was a cruel existence. It was common for a housemaid (女仆)’s day to begin well before the family rose and extend until after they retired for the evening. They did so seven days a week; working more than 80 hours a week — more than the 65 hours most factory workers worked at the time. While we often imagine that these women were young and single, Evelyn Nakano Glenn’s research on such care providers has shown that over 30% of them were married, many with children. As they worked very hard for families not of their own, they left their children, parents, brothers and sisters, and husbands behind. November and December was no doubt one of the hardest times of the year, and their own families felt their absence.
The labor movement was central to changing this sorry situation (though labor laws almost never cover domestic workers). Unions raised salaries, lowered hours, had a minimum salary and secured holidays off for workers. Those who did have to work on national holidays were guaranteed (保证的) overtime pay. When unions were strong, such benefits even extended to non-unionized workers. But as unions have declined, part-time work has increased. And this has meant lower salaries and greater uncertainty. For most part-time workers, that’s one of the better jobs. And still, it’s a job without health insurance, or a retirement plan, with changes that make it hard to take additional employment. Most of these workers wish they could work more, but employers would rather hire other part-timers. So when the boss says, “Can you work Thanksgiving ”, workers have no real choice but to be “willing”.
Today, working on holidays carries no guarantee of extra pay in the United States, and not working can mean losing one’s job. That is the irony (讽刺的) to the trend of stores opening on Thanksgiving. On the same day that we give thanks for all we have, why must we also rush out to buy more Someone might say, “It’s just the law of the market!” But the law of the market is not some mysterious process. It is the result of the decisions that we make.
56. According to the author, what do shows like Downton Abbey sanitize
A. The workload of domestic servants was very heavy.
B. Most of the house helpers should be of color.
C. Housemaids were usually married women, many with children.
D. The class divide was not that obvious in real life.
57. After the labor movement, powerful unions helped a lot EXCEPT that ______.
A. housemaids could also have the holidays off
B. even non-unionized workers enjoyed more benefits
C. people were given higher wages on the same position
D. most workers worked for fewer hours every week
58. The workers have no choice but to be “willing” to work on Thanksgiving because ______.
A. part-time workers’ salaries are lower and they wish to earn more
B. part-time work itself means a lot of changes
C. they want to take any additional employment when possible
D. they may otherwise be replaced by other willing part-timers
59. What does the writer think of the trend of shopping on holidays
A. It is dangerous because a lot of workers will stop working.
B. It is a kind of protection to help those poor part-time workers.
C. It is against the true holiday spirits, especially Thanksgiving.
D. It is ironic because the law of the market decides what we do.

Working-from-home dream now a reality
Sunjit Patel is a graphic designer with a well known publishing company. He has lived in England since he was five. He lives in South London, and for the last three years he has been working from home. Sunjit isn’t alone. ___60___ In addition, about eight million people spend some time working in the home rather in an office. This is almost twice as many as ten years ago.
This rapidly-growing trend towards working from home is the same in many countries. But why The main reason is technological: easy access to the Internet and the availability of phone and video-conferencing. These enable people to use their home as an office in an efficient and cost-effective way.
___61___ Office space is costly, so if an organization can reduce its workstations, it may be able to move to a smaller site. Employees often work better at home: travelling to work can be tiring and costs a lot time. Many homeworkers save a lot of time if they don’t travel to work and they can start the day fresher and there work more efficiently.
Sunjit Patel says, “I have been working from home since my son was born and have been really enjoying it. ___62___ I have known my boss and colleagues for a long time now, which really helps because you’ve got to trust each other. You also need to have regular contact, by phone, email or video conferences, and you need to make regular trips to your office. Otherwise you really miss out on the gossip and on the social side of work.”
___63___ This response to a survey on homeworking was recently posted on the Internet: ‘The only people who can work from home are those who do an unnecessary job. Can surgeons work from home Ambulance drivers If you can work from home full-time, you have a pointless job.’
