My
Grandpa
Forgets
Who
I
Am
A
few
days
ago
I
visited
my
grandfather
in
hospital
He
has
Alzhemier’s—a
degenerative
disease
that
usually
starts
slowly
and
gets
worse
over
time.
I
thought
I
was
prepared
to
see
him.
I
knew
chances
were
slim
that
he'd
actually
recognize
me.
He
didn’t.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
he
had
no
idea
that
he
even
had
grandchildren.
But
he
was
excited
that
somebody
came
to
visit
him.
I
tried
to
explain
to
him
who
I
was.
But
after
he
told
me
multiple
times
that
he
didn’t
have
grandchildren,
I
gave
up.
And
my
heart
broke
into
a
million
little
pieces.
I
was
tired
of
explaining
things
to
him.
So
I
just
smiled.
He
smiled
back.
It's
a
genuine
smile.
Like
a
long
time
ago,
when
he’d
take
me
by
the
hand
and
made
this
big
world
a
little
bit
less
scary
for
me.
Now
I
have
to
take
his
hand.
We
sat
in
silence
for
a
little
while,
before
he
told
me
to
call
my
grandma.
This
was
the
first
time
I
had
tried
so
hard
to
hold
back
tears.
My
grandma
died
four
years
ago
and
he
didn't
remember.
He
thought
she
was
stuck
on
her
way
to
pick
him
up.
My
grandpa
used
to
be
a
strong,
hard-working
man.
He
was
the
person
you
turned
to
when
you
needed
your
car
fixed,
your
tires
changed
or
something
heavy
to
be
carried.
Sadly,
that
man
left
this
world
a
long
time
ago,
and
left
behind
a
man
that
is
lost
and
scared.
I
want
to
help
him.
I
want
to
make
him
feel
better.
I
want
to
tell
him
about
his
old
life,
and
how
great
it
was.
So
I
sat
with
him
and
I
held
his
hand,
and
every
once
in
a
while
I
told
him
how
good
he
looked
and
how
much
I
liked
the
color
of
his
shirt
and
how
it
brought
out
the
blue
in
his
eyes.
I
told
him
that
my
grandma
was
on
her
way
whenever
he
asked
about
her,
and
I
made
sure
the
glass
in
his
hand
was
always
filled
with
water.
I
can’t
take
away
his
pain.
I
can’t
help
him
remember.
I
can’t
make
the
disease
go
away.
All
I
can
do
is
hold
on
to
the
memories—hold
on
for
both
of
us.

One
day,
gardeners
might
not
just
hear
the
buzz
of
bees
among
their
flowers,
but
the
whirr
of
robots,
too.
Scientists
have
managed
to
turn
an
unassuming
drone
(无人机)
into
a
remote-controlled
pollinator
(授粉媒介)
by
attaching
horsehairs
coated
with
a
special,
sticky
gel
to
its
underbelly.
Animal
pollinators
are
needed
for
the
reproduction
of
90%
of
flowering
plants
and
one
third
of
human
food
crops.
Chief
among
those
are
bees
—
but
many
bee
populations
in
the
United
States
have
been
in
steep
decline
in
recent
decades.
Thus,
the
decline
of
bees
isn't
just
worrisome
because
it
could
disrupt
ecosystems,
but
also
because
it
could
disrupt
agriculture
and
economy.
People
have
been
trying
to
come
up
with
replacement
techniques,
but
none
of
them
are
especially
effective
yet.
Scientists
have
thought
about
using
drones,
but
they
haven't
figured
out
how
to
make
free-flying
robot
insects
that
can
rely
on
their
own
power
source
without
being
attached
to
a
wire.
“It’s
very
tough
work,”
said
senior
author
Eijiro
Miyako,
a
chemist
at
the
National
Institute
of
Advanced
Industrial
Science
and
Technology.
His
particular
contribution
to
the
field
involves
a
gel,
one
he’d
considered
a
mistake
10
years
before
and
stuck
in
a
storage
cabinet.
When
it
was
rediscovered
a
decade
later,
it
hadn’t
dried
up
or
degraded
at
all.
“I
was
so
surprised
because
it
still
had
high
viscosity,”
Miyako
said.
The
chemist
noticed
that
when
dropped,
the
gel
absorbed
an
impressive
amount
of
dust
from
the
floor.
Miyako
realized
this
material
could
be
very
useful
for
picking
up
pollen
(花粉).
He
and
his
colleagues
chose
a
drone
and
attached
horsehairs
to
its
smooth
surface
to
mimic
a
bee’s
fuzzy
body.
They
coated
those
horsehairs
in
the
gel,
and
then
controlled
the
drones
over
lilies,
where
they
would
pick
up
the
pollen
from
one
flower
and
then
deposit
the
pollen
at
another
one,
thus
fertilizing
it.
The
scientists
looked
at
the
hairs
under
a
scanning
electron
microscope
and
counted
up
the
pollen
grains
attached
to
the
surface
and
found
that
the
drones
whose
horsehairs
had
been
coated
with
the
gel
had
about
10
times
more
pollen
than
those
that
had
not
been
coated
with
the
gel.
Miyako
does
not
think
such
drones
would
replace
bees
altogether,
but
could
simply
help
bees
with
their
pollinating
duties.
There’s
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done
before
that's
a
reality,
however.
Small
drones
will
need
to
become
more
controllable
and
energy
efficient,
as
well
as
smarter,
with
better
GPS
and
artificial
intelligence.
38.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“viscosity”
in
Para.3
probably
mean?
A.
Hardness.
B.
Stickiness.
C.
Flexibility.
D.
Purity.
39.
We
can
learn
from
the
passage
that
______.
A.
bees
disrupt
both
agriculture
and
economy
B.
scientists
have
invented
self-powered
robot
insects
C.
bees
in
the
United
States
are
on
the
edge
of
extinction
D.
Miyako
found
the
special
feature
of
the
gel
by
chance
40.
A
drone
works
best
in
picking
up
pollen
when
______.
A.
its
body
is
made
like
a
bee’s
B.
its
GPS
works
more
efficiently
C.
some
flowers
are
coated
with
the
gel
D.
horsehairs
with
the
gel
are
attached
to
it
41.
According
to
Eijiro
Miyako,
the
drones
______.
A.
are
not
yet
ready
for
practical
use
B.
may
eventually
replace
bees
in
the
future
C.
are
much
more
efficient
than
bee
pollinators
D.
can
provide
a
solution
to
economic
depression

“If
I
only
had
a
little
humility,
I’d
be
perfect,”
the
media
giant
Ted
Turner
supposedly
said
sometime
in
the
1990s.
Why
be
modest?
Aristotle
said:
“All
men
by
nature
desire
to
know.”
Intellectual
humility
is
a
particular
instance
of
humility,
since
you
can
be
down-to-earth
about
most
things
but
still
ignore
your
mental
limitations.
Intellectual
humility
means
recognising
that
we
don’t
know
everything.
Actually
it
means
we
should
acknowledge
that
we're
probably
biased
in
our
belief
about
just
how
much
we
understand
and
seek
out
the
sources
of
wisdom
that
we
lack.
The
Internet
and
digital
media
have
created
the
impression
of
limitless
knowledge
at
our
fingertips.
But,
by
making
us
lazy,
they
have
opened
up
a
space
that
ignorance
can
fill.
The
psychologist
Tania
Lombrozo
of
the
University
of
California
explained
how
technology
enhances
our
illusions
(错觉)
of
wisdom.
She
argues
that
the
way
we
access
information
is
critical
to
our
understanding
—
and
the
more
easily
we
can
recall
an
image,
word
or
statement,
the
more
likely
we’ll
think
we’ve
successfully
learned
it,
and
so
withdraw
from
effortful
cognitive
processing.
Logical
puzzles
presented
in
an
unfriendly
font
(字体),
for
example,
can
encourage
someone
to
make
extra
effort
to
solve
them.
Yet
this
approach
runs
counter
to
the
nice
designs
of
the
apps
and
sites
that
populate
our
screens,
where
our
brain
processes
information
in
a
“smooth”
way.
What
about
all
the
information
that
presents
online?
Well,
your
capacity
to
learn
from
it
depends
on
your
attitudes.
Intellectually
humble
people
don’t
hide
or
ignore
their
weaknesses.
In
fact,
they
see
them
as
sources
of
personal
development,
and
use
arguments
as
an
opportunity
to
refine
their
views.
People
who
are
humble
by
nature
tend
to
be
more
open-minded
and
quicker
to
resolve
disputes,
since
they
recognise
that
their
own
opinions
might
not
be
valid.
At
the
other
end
of
the
scale
lies
intellectual
arrogance.
Such
arrogance
almost
always
originates
from
the
egocentric
bias
–
the
tendency
to
overestimate
their
own
virtue
or
importance,
ignoring
the
role
of
chance
or
the
influence
of
other
people’s
actions
on
their
lives.
This
is
what
makes
these
people
credit
success
to
themselves
and
failure
to
circumstance.
From
an
evolutionary
perspective,
intellectual
arrogance
can
also
be
seen
as
a
way
of
achieving
dominance
through
forcing
one’s
view
on
others.
Intellectually
arrogant
people
hardly
invest
mental
resources
in
discussion
or
working
towards
group
consensus,
thus
making
it
hard
for
groups
to
work
successfully.
The
Thrive
Center
for
Human
Development
in
California,
which
seeks
to
help
young
people
tum
into
successful
adults,
is
funding
a
series
of
major
studies
about
intellectual
humility.
Their
hypothesis
is
that
humility,
curiosity
and
openness
are
key
to
a
fulfilling
life.
“Without
humility,
you
are
unable
to
learn,”
Laszlo
Bock,
Google’s
Head
of
People
Operations,
notes.

the
harm
arrogance
does
to
us

the
key
elements
to
a
fulfilling
life
C.
the
significance
of
intellectual
humility
D.
the
way
people
access
information
online

our
illusions
of
wisdom

it
______.

enables
people
to
think
critically
B.
offers
too
much
unreliable
information
C.
allows

access
to
abundant

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40
分）
第一节
（共
15
小题；每小题
2
分，共
30
分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的
A、B、C、D
四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上
将该项涂黑。
A
In
December
2017,
I
attended
a
conference.
Five
successful
women
delivered
speeches
on
the
topic
“Bouncing
Back
after
Setbacks.”
As
I
sat
there
listening
to
their
many
personal
and
professional
mistakes
and
setbacks,
I
felt
fortunate
that
I
hadn’t
made
that
many
mistakes
in
my
own
life.
Those
women
had
lost
thousands
in
investments,
started
companies
but
failed,
sold
companies
that
later
ended
up
being
worth
millions,
and
lost
partners
in
the
name
of
business.
Despite
knowing
that
they
had,
in
fact,
bounced
back
and
were
again
doing
very
well,
I
was
starting
to
feel
sorry
for
them.
Then,
as
if
someone
whispered
in
my
ear,
I
heard
the
words:
“Don’t
be
so
proud
of
yourself.
You
haven’t
made
any
mistakes
because
you
haven’t
lived
at
all.
Look
how
boring
your
life
is.”
Whose
voice
was
this,
and
how
dare
it
speak
to
me
like
that?
I
think,
for
the
first
time,
I
heard
my
own
heart
speak.
It
shook
me
to
my
core,
and
it
took
all
I
had
to
keep
from
crying.
I
started
thinking
of
the
mistakes
I
had
made.
The
voice
was
right.
There
weren’t
many
at
all.
I
had
followed
a
straight
path
for
38
years.
I
went
to
school,
earned
bachelor’s
and
master’s
degrees
with
honors,
and
stayed
at
every
job
I’d
had
far
longer
than
it
was
professionally
beneficial
for
me
to
do
so.
In
fact,
at
38,
I
had
only
had
three
jobs.
“The
devil(魔鬼)
you
know
is
better
than
the
one
you
don’t”
was
my
motto.
A
quick
review
of
my
life
made
me
realize
that
it
was
the
actions
I
hadn’t
taken
that
I
was
suddenly
regretting.
I
hadn’t
studied
abroad.
I
hadn’t
risked
love.
In
fact,
I
was
perpetually
single.
I
hadn’t
started
a
business.
I
hadn’t
traveled
enough.
I
had
said
“no”
far
more
than
“yes”.
The
voice
that
whispered
to
me
continued
to
the
New
Year.
It
was
like
it
laughed
at
me.
The
thought
of
turning
forty
frightened
me.
It’s
one
thing
to
be
unhappy
and
unsettled
in
your
twenties,
and
perhaps
even
in
one’s
thirties.
But
was
I
going
to
start
a
new
decade
with
the
same
boredom?
I
needed
something
to
pick
me
up,
some
activity
I
could
look
forward
to.

Printable
Tags
Turn
Everyday
Objects
into
Smart
Devices
Engineers
have
developed
printable
metal
tags
(标贴)
that
could
be
attached
to
everyday
objects
and
turn
them
into
smart
Internet
of
Things
devices.
The
metal
tags
are
made
from
copper
foil
(铜箔)
printed
onto
thin,
flexible,
paper-like
materials
to
reflect
WiFi
signals.
The
tags
work
essentially
like
“mirrors”
that
reflect
radio
signals
from
a
WiFi
router.
When
a
user’s
finger
touches
these
“mirrors”,
it
disturbs
the
reflected
WiFi
signals
in
such
a
way
that
can
be
remotely
sensed
by
a
WiFi
receiver
like
a
smartphone.
The
tags
can
be
nailed
onto
objects
that
people
touch
every
day,
like
water
bottles,
walls
or
doors.
These
objects
then
become
smart
and
connected
devices
that
can
signal
a
WiFi
device
whenever
a
user
interacts
with
them.
The
tags
can
also
be
shaped
into
thin
keypads
or
smart
home
control
panels
that
can
be
used
to
remotely
operate
WiFi-connected
speakers
and
other
Internet
of
Things
devices.
Xinyu
Zhang,
a
professor
of
electrical
and
computer
engineering,
named
the
technology
LiveTag.
He
pictures
people
using
LiveTag
technology
to
track
human
interaction
with
everyday
objects.
For
example,
LiveTag
could
potentially
be
used
to
assess
the
recovery
of
patients
who
have
suffered
from
stroke
(中风).
“When
patients
return
home,
they
could
use
this
technology
to
provide
data
based
on
how
they
interact
with
everyday
objects
at
home,
whether
they
are
opening
or
closing
doors
in
a
normal
way,
or
if
they
are
able
to
pick
up
bottles
of
water,
for
example.
The
amount,
intensity
and
frequency
of
their
activities
could
be
recorded
and
sent
to
their
doctors
to
evaluate
their
recovery,”
said
Zhang.
“And
this
can
all
be
done
in
the
comfort
of
their
own
homes
rather
than
having
to
keep
going
back
to
the
clinic
for
frequent
testing,”
he
added.
The
researchers
note
several
limitations
of
the
technology.
LiveTag
currently
cannot
work
with
a
WiFi
receiver
further
than
one
meter
away,
so
researchers
are
working
on
improving
the
tag
sensitivity
and
detection
range.
Ultimately,
the
team
aims
to
develop
a
way
to
make
the
tags
using
normal
paper
and
ink
printing,
which
would
make
them
cheaper
to
mass
produce.

How
to
Make
Friends,
According
to
Science
Friendship
is
one
of
life’s
most
important
features,
and
one
too
often
taken
for
granted.
The
human
desire
for
companionship
may
feel
boundless,
but
research
suggests
that
our
social
capital
is
finite—we
can
only
handle
a
certain
number
of
relationships
at
one
time.
Social
scientists
have
used
some
creative
approaches
to
measure
the
size
of
people’s
social
networks;
these
have
returned
estimates
ranging
from
about
250
to
about
5,500
people.
Looking
more
specifically
at
friendship,
a
study
using
the
exchange
of
Christmas
cards
to
test
closeness
put
the
average
person’s
friend
group
at
about
121
people.
However
vast
our
networks
may
be,
our
inner
circle
tends
to
be
much
smaller.
The
average
American
trusts
only
10
to
20
people.
Moreover,
that
number
may
be
shrinking:
From
1998
to
2017,
the
average
number
of
trusted
friends
decreased
from
three
to
two.
This
is
both
sad
and
of
important
consequence,
because
people
who
have
strong
social
relationships
tend
to
live
longer
than
those
who
don’t.
So
what
should
you
do
if
your
social
life
is
lacking?
Here
the
research
is
instructive.
To
begin
with,
don’t
refuse
to
consider
the
humble
acquaintance（交情）.
Even
interacting
with
people
with
whom
one
has
weak
social
ties
has
a
meaningful
influence
on
well-being.
Beyond
that,
building
deeper
friendships
may
be
largely
a
matter
of
putting
in
time.
A
recent
study
out
of
the
University
of
Kansas
found
that
it
takes
about
50
hours
of
socializing
to
go
from
acquaintance
to
casual
friend,
an
additional
40
hours
to
become
a
“real”
friend,
and
a
total
of
200
hours
to
become
a
close
friend.
If
that
sounds
like
too
much
effort,
renewing
inactive
social
ties
can
be
especially
rewarding.
Reconnected
friends
can
quickly
recapture
the
trust
they
previously
built,
while
offering
each
other
a
dash
of
novelty（新奇）drawn
from
whatever
they’ve
been
up
to
in
the
meantime.
And
if
all
else
fails,
you
could
start
randomly
to
tell
secrets
to
people
you
don’t
know
that
well.
Self-disclosure
makes
us
more
likable,
and
as
a
bonus,
we
are
more
likely
to
favor
those
to
whom
we
have
revealed
our
soul.
Longing
for
closeness
and
connection
is
common
and
everywhere,
which
suggests
that
most
of
us
are
stumbling（跌跌撞撞）through
the
world,
expecting
companionship
that
could
be
easily
provided
by
the
lonesome
stumblers
all
around
us.
So
set
aside
this
article,
turn
to
someone
nearby,
and
try
to
make
a
friend.

Understanding
Chinese
Culture:
The
Challenge
to
the
West
Late
last
year,
a
New
Zealand
newspaper
reported
that
China
was
sending
120
doctors
to
a
Pacific
island
to
assist
with
their
community
health.
A
positive
action,
one
might
think,
but
the
focus
of
the
story
was
to
ask
what
China
was
doing
in
the
Pacific,
and
how
we
have
failed
to
the
extent
that
we
have
allowed
this
to
happen.
What
are
the
Chinese
doing
on
“our
patch”?
In
fact,
the
rise
of
China
is
to
a
certain
degree
promoted
as
a
threat.
The
challenge
to
the
West,
then,
is
to
improve
an
appreciation
of
what
China
is.
How
does
China’s
cultural
heritage
present
a
positive
advantage
to
the
world?
To
understand
this,
it
is
important
to
consider
the
foundations
of
Chinese
culture
and
society.
China
has
more
than
5,000
years
of
uninterrupted
cultural
development.
We
at
least
need
to
go
back
2,500
years
to
study
Taoism,
for
its
cultural
and
philosophical
roots,
and
Confucius
for
his
social
philosophy
and
influence
on
society.
Taoism
provides
us
with
many
aspects
of
the
special
nature
of
Chinese
culture
and
philosophy.
The
concept
of
yin
and
yang
in
Taoism,
which
brings
us
balance
through
the
integration
of
opposites,
is
well-known
but
not
fully
understood
in
the
West.
Chinese
medicine,
which
tends
to
take
a
longer
time
to
take
effect,
with
a
focus
to
work
in
harmony
with
the
body,
is
to
restore
imbalance
causing
diseases
rather
than
targeting
only
the
specific
symptom
or
problem
area.
Confucius’
contribution
to
Chinese
society
also
provides
a
difference
to
Western
society.
Eastern
society
places
the
community
as
the
most
important
component
of
society.
In
Western
society,
it
is
the
individual
that
is
considered
to
be
the
unit
of
society,
compatible
with
an
objective
analysis
of
issues.
Considering
a
monkey,
cow
and
banana,
which
is
the
odd
one
out?
The
vast
majority
of
Chinese
will
choose
the
cow
because
the
monkey
eats
the
banana,
which
gives
food
to
the
monkey.
Western
people
invariably
choose
the
banana
because
they
see
the
objective
classification
of
the
monkey
and
cow.
The
consideration
of
these
two
responses,
and
extension
into
deeper
philosophical
understanding,
presents
a
major
difference
between
Chinese
and
Western
thought.
Therefore,
the
challenge
to
the
West
is
to
embrace
an
alternative
perspective
on
issues.
It
is
time
for
Western
media
to
seek
a
balance
in
reporting
affairs,
and
critiqu（e
It
is
time
for
a

A
Sweat
rolled
off
my
forehead
as
my
younger
brother
and
I
sat
under
the
tree.
“Hi,
Jason,”
said
my
brother,
Chad.
“Do
you
hear
the
train?”
I
listened,
but
I
heard
only
thunder
in
the
distance.
It
was
still
miles
away,
but
I
heard
it.
It
grew
stronger
and
louder
as
it
gained
speed
and
got
closer.
How
could
that
be?
I
wondered.
We
were
about
to
grab
our
bikes
to
see
what
it
actually
was
when
we
stopped.
What
looked
like
a
flock
of
birds
darkened
the
sky
overhead.
When
I
looked
at
it
closer,
I
realized
it
wasn’t
birds.
It
was
a
tornado(龙卷风).
The
hairs
on
the
back
of
my
neck
stood
up
as
the
air
turned
green
and
heavy.
The
sun
disappeared.
The
wind
strengthened
and
roared.
I
grabbed
Chad’s
arm
and
pulled
him
toward
the
house.
I
tried
to
open
the
door,
but
it
was
as
if
an
invisible
force
pushed
against
me.
The
door
refused
to
open.
When
we
finally
managed
to
get
inside,
we
found
it
was
as
dark
as
night.
Our
family
had
practiced
a
tornado
safety
plan
many
times.
But
I
had
never
imagined
that
it
would
be
just
Chad
and
me
at
home
the
first
time
we
needed
to
use
it.
“Inside
the
closet!”
I
yelled.
It
was
small
and
crowded,
but
we
got
in
it
anyway.
Chad
began
to
cry.
“It’s
going
to
be
all
right.”
I
told
him.
But
I
was
worried
about
Mom.
I
hope
she’d
found
a
safe
place
to
wait
out
the
storm.
The
storm
continued
to
rage.
I
heard
a
thud
on
the
roof.
The
whole
house
creaked
and
groaned.
Then
it
was
quiet.
I
opened
the
door
and
we
inched
our
way
out
of
the
closet.
Rain
had
got
in
through
the
open
window
and
wet
the
carpets.
A
kitchen
window
had
shattered,
its
screen
blown
away.
I
looked
at
the
backyard.
The
tree
was
uprooted,
and
broken
branches
lay
on
the
ground.
“Jason,
I
can’t
get
service,”
Chad
said
as
he
held
the
phone
in
his
hand.
We
had
no
electricity,
either.
I
glanced
at
the
wall
clock.
Had
it
been
only
20
minutes
since
we’d
first
heard
the
thunder?
Then
I
heard
footsteps
toward
the
house.
Mom
had
made
it
home
safely.
“Boys!”
she
yelled.
“Are
you
all
right?”
We
ran
out
and
hugged
her.
The
sun
came
out,
and
this
time
it
shone
bright
and
clear.

As
the
world’s
population
grows,
farmers
will
need
to
produce
more
and
more
food.
And
large
farms
are
increasingly
using
precision
farming
to
increase
yields
(产量),
reduce
waste,
and
reduce
the
economic
and
security
risks
that
inevitably
accompany
agricultural
uncertainty.
Traditional
farming
relies
on
managing
entire
fields—making
decisions
related
to
planting,
harvesting,
irrigating,
and
applying
pesticides
and
fertilizer
(农药和化肥)—based
on
regional
conditions
and
historical
data.
Precision
farming,
by
contrast,
combines
sensors,
robots,
GPS,
mapping
tools
and
data-analytics
software
to
customize
the
care
that
plants
receive
without
increasing
labor.
Robot-mounted
sensors
and
camera-equipped
drones
(无人机)
wirelessly
send
images
and
data
on
individual
plants
to
a
computer,
which
looks
for
signs
of
health
and
stress.
Farmers
receive
the
feedback
in
real
time
and
then
deliver
water,
pesticide
or
fertilizer
in
adjusted
doses(剂量)
to
only
the
areas
that
need
it.
The
technology
can
also
help
farmers
decide
when
to
plant
and
harvest
crops.
As
a
result,
precision
farming
can
improve
time
management,
reduce
water
and
chemical
use,
and
produce
healthier
crops
and
higher
yields—all
of
which
benefit
farmers’
bottom
lines
and
conserve
resources
while
reducing
chemical
runoff.
Many
small
businesses
are
developing
new
software,
sensors,
and
other
tools
for
precision
farming,
as
are
large
companies
such
as
Monsanto,
John
Deere,
Bayer,
Dow
and
DuPont.
The
U.S.
Department
of
Agriculture,
NASA
and
the
National
Oceanic
and
Atmospheric
Administration
all
support
precision
farming,
and
many
colleges
now
offer
course
work
on
the
topic.
In
a
related
development,
seed
producers
are
applying
technology
to
improve
plant
characteristics.
By
following
individual
plants
over
time
and
analyzing
which
ones
flourish
in
different
conditions,
companies
can
relate
the
plants’
response
to
their
environments
with
their
genomics(基因组学).
That
information,
in
turn,
allows
the
companies
to
produce
seed
varieties
that
will
grow
well
in
specific
soil
and
weather
conditions.
This
advanced
technology
may
also
help
to
improve
crop
nutrition.
Farmers
do
not
universally
welcome
precision
agriculture
for
various
reasons,
such
as
high
equipment
costs
and
lack
of
access
to
the
Internet.
The
technology
may
bring
great
challenges
to
experienced
farmers
who
are
not
good
at
computers.
And
large
systems
will
also
be
beyond
the
reach
of
many
small
farming
operations
in
developing
nations.
But
less
expensive,
simpler
systems
could
potentially
be
applied.
For
others,
though,
cost
savings
in
the
long
run
may
reduce
the
financial
concerns.
And
however
reticent
some
farmers
may
be
to
adopt
new
technology,
the
next
generation
of
farmers
are
likely
to
warm
to
the
approach.
63.
Precision
farming
differs
from
traditional
farming
partly
because
it
________.
A.
provides
real
time
information
about
target
crops
B.
relies
on
regional
conditions
and
historical
data
C.
offers
plenty
of
water,
pesticides
and
fertilizer
D.
guarantees
high
yields
with
more
labor
64.
About
precision
farming,
we
can
learn
that________.
A.
the
government
holds
a
cautious
attitude
B.
it
draws
positive
responses
from
businesses
C.
seed
producers
have
already
made
huge
profits
D.
large
systems
will
soon
be
built
in
developing
nations
65.
The
underlined
word
“reticent”
in
the
last
paragraph
probably
means
________.
A.
disappointed
B.
confused
C.
shocked
D.
unwilling
66.
What
is
the

D
Is
Technology
Moving
Too
Fast?
Differing
fundamentally
from
the
prior
technologies
such
as
telephone,
television
and
automobile,
which
are
better
known
as
lock-in,
the
new
technologies—computers,
biotechnology
and
nanotech
(纳米技术)—are
self-accelerating.
This
means
that
the
products
of
their
own
processes
enable
them
to
develop
even
more
rapidly.
Since
they
drive
almost
whole
sectors
of
society,
creating
unstable,
unpredictable
and
unreliable
conditions,
there
is
a
growing
public
concern
that
perhaps
what
civilization
needs
is
a
NOT-SO-FAST
button.
Supporters
of
technological
determinism
make
a
strong
case
for
letting
self-accelerating
technologies
follow
their
own
life
cycle.
Rapid
development
in
computer
technology,
they
point
out,
has
separated
robotics
and
the
Internet—to
the
great
benefit
of
industry
and
human
communications.
Besides,
it
isn’t
so
easy
for
a
free
society
to
put
the
brakes
on
technology.
Even
if
one
country
decided
to
abandon
the
next
technological
revolution,
another
country
would
gladly
take
it
up.
However,
there
are
comforting
situations
in
which
technology
may
brake
itself.
In
the
aging
population
of
the
developed
world,
many
people
are
already
tired
of
trying
to
keep
up
with
the
latest
cool
new
tech.
Youth-driven
tech
acceleration
could
be
interpreted
as
simple
youthful
stupidity—short-sighted
and
short-lived.
The
market
for
change
could
dry
up,
and
lock-in
might
again
become
the
norm.
Stress
and
great
tiredness
make
powerful
decelerators.
Change
that
is
too
rapid
can
be
deeply
divisive.
If
only
elite
(精英)
can
keep
up,
the
rest
of
us
will
grow
increasingly
puzzled
about
how
the
world
works.
We
can
understand
natural
biology,
complex
as
it
is,
because
it
holds
still.
But
how
will
we
ever
be
able
to
understand
quantum
computing
(量子计算)
or
nanotechnology
if
its
complexity
keeps
accelerating
away
from
us?
Constant
technological
revolution
makes
planning
difficult,
and
a
society
that
stops
planning
for
the
future
is
likely
to
become
a
fragile
society.
It
could
experience
violent
economic
unrest.
It
could
slip
into
wars
fought
with
cruel
new
weapons.
Its
widespread
new
technologies
could
fail
in
massive
or
horrible
ways.
All
these
constant,
worrying
small
failures
could
weaken
the
whole
social
progress.
With
so
many
powerful
forces
in
play,
technology
could
hyper-accelerate
to
the
stars
with
astonishing
rapidity,
or
it
could
stop
completely.
My
expectation
is
that
it
will
do
both,
with
various
technologies
proceeding
at
various
rates.
The
new
technologies
may
be
self-accelerating,
but
they
are
not
self-determining.
They
are
the
result
of
ever
renegotiated
agreement
with
society.
Because
they
are
so
powerful,
their
paths
may
undergo
wild
swings,
but
I
think
the
trend
will
be
toward
the
dynamic
middle:
much
slower
than
the
optimists
expect,
much
faster
than
the
pessimists
think
humanity
can
bear.
67.
Supporters
of
technology
self-acceleration
hold
the
view
that
________.
A.
the
society
is
free
to
make
the
technology
go
more
slowly
B.
the
high

benefit
to
human
C.
robotics
has

less
rapidly
than
computer
technology
D.
self-accelerating
technologies
promote

cooperation
68.
According
to
the
passage,
what
may
slow
down
the
accelerating
technology?
A.
A
carefully
planned
society.
B.
The
simple
youthful
stupidity.
C.
People’s
stress
and
exhaustion.
D.
The
rapid

年北京市海淀区高三上学期期末英语试卷
第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）
第一节
（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
My
doorbell
rings.
On
the
step,
I
find
the
elderly
Chinese
lady,
small
and
slight,
holding
the
hand
of
a
little
boy.
In
her
other
hand,
she
holds
a
paper
carrier
bag.
I
know
this
lady.
It
is
not
her
first
visit.
She
is
the
boy’s
grandmother,
and
her
daughter
bought
the
house
next
door
last
October.
Her
daughter,
Nicole,
speaks
fluent
English.
But
she
is
now
in
Shanghai,
and
her
parents
are
here
with
the
little
boy.
Nicole
has
obviously
told
her
mother
that
I
am
having
heart
surgery
soon,
so
her
mother
has
decided
I
need
more
nutrients.
I
know
what
is
inside
the
bag—a
thermos
with
hot
soup
and
a
stainless-steel
container
with
rice,
vegetables
and
either
chicken,
meat
or
shrimp,
sometimes
with
a
kind
of
pancake.
This
has
become
an
almost-daily
practice.
Communication
between
us
is
somewhat
affected
by
the
fact
that
she
doesn’t
speak
English
and
all
I
can
say
in
Chinese
is
hello.
Once,
she
brought
an
iPad
as
well
as
the
food.
She
pointed
to
the
screen,
which
displayed
a
message
from
her
daughter
telling
me
that
her
mother
wanted
to
know
if
the
food
was
all
right
and
whether
it
was
too
salty.
I
am
not
used
to
iPads,
so
she
indicated
I
should
go
with
her
to
her
house.
Then,
she
handed
the
iPad
to
her
husband
and
almost
immediately
I
found
myself
looking
at
Nicole
in
Shanghai
and
discussing
her
mother’s
cooking
and
salt
intake.
Instantly,
tears
welled
in
my
eyes.
“Your
mother
just
can’t
be
bringing
me
meals
like
this
all
the
time,”
I
insisted.
“I
can
hardly
do
dishes
in
return.”
“Oh,
no,
Lucy.”
Nicole
said.
“Mum
doesn’t
like
western
food.
Don’t
worry
about
it;
she
has
to
cook
for
the
three
of
them
anyway,
and
she
wants
to
do
it.”
The
doorbell
keeps
ringing
and
there
is
the
familiar
brown
paper
carrier
bag,
handed
smilingly
to
me.
I
am
now
working
on
some
more
Chinese
words—it’s
the
least
I
can
do
after
such
a
display
of
kindness.
“Thank
you”
is,
of
course,
the
first
one.
Somehow,
it
seems
inadequate.
56.
The
elderly
Chinese
lady
visits
Lucy
regularly
because______.
A.
Lucy
pays
her
to
deliver
food
B.
Lucy
likes
cooking
Chinese
food
C.
she
cares
about
Lucy’s
state
of
health
D.
she
wants
to
make
friends
with
Lucy
57.
Nicole’s
mum
took
an
iPad
to
Lucy’s
home
for_________.
A.
displaying
B.
communicating
C.
cooking
D.
chatting
58.
In
this
passage
Lucy
mainly
expresses
her
______.
A.
preference
for
the
Chinese
food
B.
gratitude
to
the
Chinese
family
C.
love
of
the
advanced

D.
affection
for
the
Chinese

Chinese
Emoji
(表情符号)
Circles
Globe
“Funny”,
a
made-in-China
emoji,
seems
to
have
recently
moved
beyond
China.
Now,
it
is
more
than
an
emoji,
but
a
cultural
expansion.
Reaching
Global
Markets
A
series
of
“funny”
emoji-based
bolsters
(抱枕)
have
attracted
the
attention
of
Japanese
customers.
Even
if
one
bolster
is
more
than
three
times
as
expensive
as
in
China,
it
doesn’t
kill
their
desires
to
buy
it.
One
Japanese
customer
Miki
said,
“They
are
just
so
cute
and
I
bought
three
bolsters
at
one
time
for
my
family.
And
every
time
I
see
them,
my
mood
just
brightens
suddenly.”
A
Japanese
netizen
Kiro
Kara
said,
“I
think
the
emoji
implies
very
complicated
meanings.
My
dad
will
send
it
when
he
doesn’t
agree
with
someone
but
he
has
to
say
something
and
behave
politely.”
Addition
to
Domestic
Social
Media
Compared
with
Japanese
impressions
of
the
“funny”
emoji,
Chinese
netizens
prefer
to
use
the
emoji
to
tease
one
another
on
social
media.
One
commonly
seen
online
comment
is,
“We
strongly
suggest
stopping
the
usage
of
the
emoji.
Because
every
time
other
people
send
me
the
emoji,
I
feel
very
uncomfortable
and
consider
myself
as
a
fool.”
Regarded
as
the
most
popular
emoji,
the
“funny”
emoji
has
received
much
attention
since
its
release
in
2013.
In
fact,
the
“funny”
emoji
is
the
updated
version
of
its
original
one;
“funny”
has
a
smiley
mouth,
two
eyebrows
and
a
naughty
look.
All
these
characteristics
present
users
a
sense
of
satire
(讽刺).
In
Everyday
Use
Abroad
It’s
not
the
first
time
the
Chinese
emoji
takes
the
world
stage.
Earlier
this
year,
one
emoji
from
the
Chinese
basketball
celebrity
Yao
Ming
has
been
spread
through
the
Middle
East
region.
In
a
city
in
southern
Egypt,
Yao’s
smiling
emoji
has
appeared
frequently
in
local
traffic
signs
to
remind
people
the
road
ahead
is
one-way.
Many
locals
do
not
know
Yao
Ming
but
are
familiar
with
his
emoji
and
nickname
“Chinese
Funny
Face”.
As
a
new
online
language,
emojis
have
become
a
necessary
part
of
people’s
daily
life,
helping
people
express
their
views
in
a
more
vivid
and
precise
way.
Also,
it
can
help
foreigners
learn
about
Chinese
culture.
But
how
to
properly
use
“the
fifth
innovation
in
China”
without
hurting
others
and
turn
them
into
commercial
advantages
still
need
answers.
59.
Why

Every
year
billions
of
pounds
are
spent
on
hair
loss
treatment.
If
we
succeed
in
curing
hair
loss
with
3D
printed
hair
follicles(毛囊),
it
will
be
a
huge
revolution.
L’Oreal,
the
cosmetics
firm
is
partnering
with
a
French
bio-printing
company
called
Poietis,
which
has
developed
a
form
of
laser(激光)
printing
for
cell-based
objects.
Poietis’
technique
begins
with
the
creation
of
a
digital
map
that
determines
where
living
cells
and
other
tissue
components
should
be
placed
to
create
the
desired
biological
structure.
This
involves
how
the
cells
are
expected
to
grow
over
time.
The
file
based
on
the
digital
map
is
then
turned
into
instructions
for
the
printing
equipment,
so
that
it
can
lay
down
tiny
droplets
made
out
of
the
cell-based
"bio
ink"
one
layer
at
a
time.
The
printing
process
involves
bouncing
a
pulsing
laser
off
a
mirror
and
through
a
lens,
so
that
when
it
hits
a
ribbon(色带)
containing
the
bio
ink,
a
droplet
of
the
matter
falls
into
place.
About
10,000
of
these
micro-droplets
are
created
every
second.
It
typically
takes
about
10
minutes
to
print
a
piece
of
skin
1cm
wide
by
0.5mm
thick.
However,
since
hair
follicles
are
complex
and
consist
of
15
different
cells
in
a
structure,
they
may
take
longer.
Poietis
is
not
the
only
company
working
on
bio-printing,
but
most
others
use
another
way,
which
involves
pushing
a
bio-ink
through
a
nozzle(喷嘴),
rather
than
lasers
to
build
their
tissue.
Poietis
suggests
its
technique
puts
less
stress
on
the
biological
matter,
meaning
there
is
less
risk
of
causing
it
damage.
Alopecia
UK—a
charity
that
provides
support
and
advice
about
hair
loss—has
mixed
feelings
about
the
development.
“It
is
encouraging
to
know
that
companies
such
as
L’Oreal
are
investing
in
technology
that
may
help
those
with
hair
loss
in
the
future,”
said
spokeswoman
Amy
Johnson.
“However,
we
would
suggest
it’s
still
very
early
to
be
getting
excited
about
what
this
potentially
could
mean
for
those
with
medical
hair
loss.
At
this
point
it
is
unclear
as
to
whether
this
technology
could
benefit
those
with
all
types
of
hair
loss.”
“Also,
if
this
new
technology
does
lead
to
a
treatment
option,
given
the
high
costs
of
existing
hair
transplant
procedures,
how
many
people
will
be
able
to
realistically
afford
any
new
technological
advances
that
may
become
available?
As
with
any
other
research
and
development
into
processes
that
may
be
able
to
help
those
with
hair
loss,
we
watch
with
great
interest.”

There
is
no
doubt
eCommerce
is
growing,
and
it
will
continue
to
grow.
However,
physical
stores
would
not
die
as
a
result
of
the
rise
of
eCommerce,
at
least
not
in
the
near
future.
The
idea
that
eCommerce
is
taking
over
physical
stores
has
already
misguided
many
people.
Physical
stores
are
far
from
vanishing,
and
there
are
some
solid
reasons
for
it.
The
projections
for
online
spending
is
optimistic
with
$150
billion
expected
to
be
spent
in
the
coming
three
years,
yet
we
are
also
expecting
$300
billion
in
spending
at
physical
stores
in
the
same
duration.
Do
you
still
think
that
physical-store
shopping
is
too
small
to
sustain
the
eCommerce
blow?
Even
though
consumers
are
staying
away
from
physical
stores
that
follow
older
concepts,
yet
we
are
seeing
the
rise
of
fresh
concept
stores
all
around
the
US.
We
are
seeing
innovative
and
attractive
success
stories
of
physical
stores,
ranging
from
clothes
stores
to
restaurants
to
health
spas.
It
would
be
easy
to
assume
that
this
trend
will
continue.
Indeed,
many
shopping
malls
are
dying,
yet
there
are
still
those
shopping
centers
that
are
performing
well.
You
can
see
this
for
yourself
by
visiting
shopping
malls
near
you.
What
I
want
to
emphasize
here
is
that
not
all
shopping
centers
are
made
equal,
just
like
not
all
eCommerce
retailers
are
made
equal.
Both
shopping
malls
and
eCommerce
sites
can
lose
business
if
they
fail
to
maintain
productivity
through
improvements
and
innovations.
When
you
visit
shopping
centers
that
are
serious
about
their
business,
you
would
see
their
shops
and
parking
lots
packed.
On
the
other
hand,
even
e-tailers
like
Amazon
have?experimented?with
pop-up
shopping
concepts.
It
is
important
to
bear
in
mind
that
consumers
prefer
face-to-face
interactions
instead
of
online
interactions
during
shopping,
meaning
that?physical
stores?are
going
to
stay
there.
Still,
eCommerce
retailers
are
seeing
all
of
their
excitement
disappear
as
they
settle
the
sales
tax
problem
associated
with
e-tailing.
As
of
now,
five
states
of
America
have
already
imposed
sales
tax
on
purchases
through
eCommerce
sites,
and
e-tailers
in
those
states
have
already
witnessed
6
to
12
percent
decrease
in
sales.
This
reinforces
the
fact
that
physical
stores
are
here
to
stay,
and
if
you
are
still
undervaluing
their
growth,
you
are
omitting
a
huge
chunk
of
the
retail
representation.

business.

Fewer
consumers

visit
physical
stores.
D.
Physical
stores
can’t
stand
the
blow
of
eCommerce.

年北京市海淀区高三上学期期末英语试卷
第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）
第一节
（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
My
daughter
Kelly
is
a
cautious
person.
She
needs
to
warm
up
to
situations,
is
hesitant
to
try
new
things.
When
with
close
friends,
she
becomes
a
leader
who
laughs
loudly
and
chants,
“Girls
rule,
boys
drool.”
But
when
that
comfort
zone
is
not
around
her,
she
is
shy
and
nervous.
This
has
been
challenging
for
me
at
times.
“Shy”
is
not
a
word
that
I
think
has
ever
been
used
to
describe
me.
But
this
has
been
a
year
of
firsts
for
my
girl
that
has
filled
her
with
a
new
sense
of
confidence.
This
year
she
moved
to
lap
lane
in
swimming
where
she
was
preparing
for
a
swim
team.
This
year
she
learned
to
ride
a
bike
without
training
wheels.
And
this
year
she
completed
her
first
kids’
triathlon
(三项全能)
.
On
Saturday,
with
a
thunderstorm
coming
soon
and
my
son’s
birthday
party
later
in
the
day,
we
all
went
out
in
the
dark
of
the
morning
for
Kelly
to
participate
in
her
first
triathlon.
We
practiced
transitions
from
swim
to
bike
to
run
with
her,
we
got
all
the
equipment
she’d
need,
and
we
kept
talking
about
the
race.
But
as
we
waited
the
two
hours
for
the
older
kids
to
finish
before
her
turn,
she
held
my
leg
a
little
harder
and
told
me
she
loved
me
a
few
too
many
times.
She
was
nervous
but
trying
to
keep
it
together.
And
then
it
was
her
turn.
From
the
second
she
jumped
into
the
water,
my
heart
soared.
My
daughter
transformed
into
the
most
confident
human
being
I
had
ever
seen.
She
dominated(主宰)
that
swim,
crushed
that
bike
ride
and
ran
to
the
finish
with
the
biggest
smile
on
her
face.
I
can
honestly
say
that
I
never
felt
so
proud
of
someone
in
my
entire
life.
It
wasn’t
because
she
did
a
sport
or
anything
like
that.
It
was
because
she
was
afraid
of
something
and
conquered（克服）
that
fear
with
confidence
and
a
fire
I
hadn’t
seen
before.
All
day
I
would
find
myself
just
looking
over
at
her
and
smiling.
She
might
be
wearing
the
finalist
medal
but
I
felt
like
I
won
that
day.
I
won
the
chance
to
see
my
girl
shine.
Shine
on,
sweet
baby.

B
Robotic
Puppy
Roll
over,
sit
and
fetch
aren’t
commands
normally
given
to
a
robot,
but
the
smart
toy
company
WowWee
has
developed
a
new
way
of
owning
a
puppy.
CHIP
(Canine
Home
Intelligent
Pet)
is
a
robotic
dog
with
blue
LED
eyes
and
pointy
ears
and
can
sit,
shake,
dance
and
make
all
types
of
dog
noises.
It
also
has
tracking
capabilities
to
help
locate
its
owner.
“The
beauty
about
CHIP
is
that
it
has
its
own
thing
going
on,”
said
Sufer,
CTO
at
WowWee.
“It
has
its
own
life
and
own
kind
of
intelligence.
Even
if
you’re
not
around,
it’s
always
doing
something.”
CHIP
uses
wheels
to
get
around
and
is
loaded
with
sensors(传感器)
that
give
it
a
360-degree
view
to
find
its
ball.
The
pup
is
Bluetooth
enabled,
which
connects
to
a
wristband
worn
by
its
owner.
The
wristband,
similar
to
a
watch,
displays
icons（图标）for
different
commands
such
as
a
thumb-up,
which
allows
you
to
give
your
pup
a
digital
belly
rub.
With
its
owner
wearing
a
smart
wristband,
it
can
even
follow
him
around
the
room.
“We
worked
on
CHIP
for
about
five
to
six
months,”
Davin
Sufer,
told
,
“We
typically
come
up
with
a
concept,
model
and
product
and
get
it
on
shelves
within
a
year.”
The
company
plans
to
start
shipping
units
by
next
fall,
which
will
allow
them
to
load
up
the
robotic
dog
with
sensors
and
add
many
more
animated
responses
per-owner
interactivity.
The
high-tech
toy
company
made
its
debut（处女作）in
2004
by
releasing
the
1.5
foot
RoboSapien,
which
sold
millions
of
units.
MiP,
which
hit
shelves
last
year,
is
a
seven
inch
tall
robot
covered
in
white
with
black
accents.
Users
can
direct
it,
change
its
emotions
and
make
it
dance
to
any
song
on
your
iPad.
It’s
loud,
fast
and
active.
About
15
years
ago,
a
company
called
ToyQuest
developed
the
first
ever
electronic
robotic
dog---Tekno,
the
Robotic
Puppy.
The
company
sold
over
seven
million
units
in
the
first
season
and
40
million
more
during
its
original
four
years
of
production.
Tekno
was
built
with
over
160
emotions
and
instructions,
but
most
importantly
offered
consumers
a
quick
look
into
the
future.
60.
According
to
Sufer,
the
amazing
characteristic
of
CHIP
is
that
_____.
A.
it
is
loaded
with
special
sensors
B.
it
can
make
all
kinds
of
dog
noises
C.
it
has
quick
response
to
the
commands
D.
it
can
do
something
without
instructions
61.
CHIP
can
follow
its
owner
with
the
help
of
_____.
A.
a
watch
B.
a
smart
wristband
C.
pointy
ears
D.
blue
LED
eyes
62.
From
the
passage,
we
can
know_______.
A.
CHIP
can
be
bought
in
the
store
now
B.
WowWee
introduced
its
first
product
last
year
C.
Tekno

Does
happiness
have
a
scent?
When
someone
is
happy,
can
you
smell
it?
You
can
usually
tell
when
someone
is
happy
based
on
seeing
them
smile,
hearing
them
laugh
or
perhaps
from
receiving
a
big
hug.
But
can
you
also
smell
their
happiness?
Surprising
new
research
suggests
that
happiness
does
indeed
have
a
scent,
and
that
the
experience
of
happiness
can
be
transmitted
through
smell,
reports
Phys.org.
For
the
study,
12
young
men
were
shown
videos
meant
to
bring
about
a
variety
of
emotions
while
researchers
gathered
sweat
samples
from
them.
All
of
the
men
were
healthy
and
none
of
them
were
drug
users
or
smokers,
and
all
were
asked
to
abstain
from
drinking
or
eating
smelly
foods
during
the
study
period.
Those
sweat
samples
were
then
given
to
36
equally
healthy
young
women
to
smell,
while
researchers
monitored
their
reactions.
Only
women
were
selected
to
smell
the
samples,
apparently
because
previous
research
has
shown
that
women
have
a
better
sense
of
smell
than
men
and
are
also
more
sensitive
to
emotional
signaling—though
it's
unclear
why
only
men
were
chosen
to
produce
the
scents.
Researchers
found
that
the
behavior
of
the
women
after
smelling
the
scents—particularly
their
facial
expressions—indicated
a
relationship
between
the
emotional
states
of
the
men
who
produced
the
sweat
and
the
women
who
sniffed
them.
“Human
sweat
produced
when
a
person
is
happy
brings
about
a
state
similar
to
happiness
in
somebody
who
breathes
this
smell,”
said
study
co-author
Gun
Semin,
a
professor
at
Koc
University
in
Turkey.
This
is
a
fascinating
finding
because
it
not
only
means
that
happiness
does
have
a
scent,
but
that
the
scent
is
capable
of
transmitting
the
emotion
to
others.
The
study
also
found
that
other
emotions,
such
as
fear,
seem
to
carry
a
scent
too.
This
ensures
previous
research
suggesting
that
some
negative
emotions
have
a
smell,
but
it
is
the
first
time
this
has
proved
to
be
true
of
positive
feelings.
Researchers
have
yet
to
isolate(分离)
exactly
what
the
chemical
compound
for
the
happiness
smell
is,
but
you
might
imagine
what
the
potential
applications
for
such
a
finding
could
be.
Happiness
perfumes,
for
instance,
could
be
invented.
Scent
therapies（香味疗法）could
also
be
developed
to
help
people
through
depression
or
anxiety.
Perhaps
the
most
surprising
result
of
the
study,
however,
is
our
broadened
understanding
of
how
emotions
get
communicated,
and
also
how
our
own
emotions
are
potentially
managed
through
our
social
context
and
the
emotional
states
of
those
around
us.

Conventional
wisdom
is
a
major
barrier
to
innovation
that
threatens
the
survival
of
companies
everywhere.
It’s
based
on
the
assumption
that
old
ideas
will
always
work,
so
they
shouldn’t
be
challenged.
While
this
may
be
a
valid
assumption
in
situations
that
don’t
change,
it’s
unlikely
to
hold
true
in
a
changing
situation.
In
today’s
rapid
changing
global
environment,
old
methods
often
don't
work,
and
stubbornly
using
them
can
lead
to
major
problems.
Most
people
seem
to
agree
with
conventional
wisdom
because
it
gives
one
a
false
sense
of
security.
If
everyone
else
believes
it,
then
it
must
be
true.
Individuals
who
use
conventional
wisdom
are
certain
that
they
are
right,
and
being
right
is
good.
They
want
to
continue
using
old
ideas
rather
than
take
risks
with
changes
that
might
not
work.
In
1977,
Ken
Olsen,
co-founder
and
CEO
of
Digital
Equipment
Corporation
(DEC),
stated
“There
is
no
reason
for
any
individual
to
have
a
computer
in
his
home.”
Despite
being
a
dominant
leader
in
the
computer
industry,
DEC
no
longer
exists.
People
seem
to
forget
that
since
innovation
is
a
change,
there
can
be
no
innovation
without
change.
Unfortunately,
conventional
wisdom
prevents
leaders,
followers
and
companies
from
changing
and
therefore
innovating.
If
companies
don’t
innovate,
but
their
competitors
do,
the
future
is
likely
to
be
problematic.
Breaking
from
conventional
wisdom
has
led
to
many
of
the
most
innovative
companies
and
products
in
history
across
many
industries,
so
it
has
a
powerful
effect
on
business
success.
Ted
Turner
(founder
of
CNN)
knew
little,
if
anything,
about
the
news
business,
but
he
knew
it
was
inconvenient
to
watch
news
only
at
the
dinner
hour,
as
was
common
before
CNN.
Turner’s
solution
was
to
create
a
cable
channel
dedicated
to
news
24
hours
a
day.
The
news
establishment
reflected
conventional
wisdom
at
the
time,
and
predicted
his
idea
would
fail
because
no
one
wanted
to
watch
the
news
all
day.
However,
it
doesn’t
take
a
rocket
scientist
to
understand
that
viewers
don’t
have
to
watch
the
news
all
day
for
the
CNN
to
work.
Viewers
just
have
to
watch
when
they
want
to
get
information.
Due
to
conventional
thinking,
the
critics
failed
to
recognize
the
opportunity
that
was
clear
to
Ted.
They
assumed
that
only
what
was
familiar
to
them
could
work
in
the
future.
Conventional
wisdom
prevents
creativity,
flexibility
and
risk-taking,
so
unconventional
leaders
enthusiastically
break
from
it.
To
survive,
thrive
and
maintain
competitive
advantage,
companies
must
be
flexible
when
reacting
to
change.

DEC
has
disappeared
probably
because
___________.
A.
the
consumers
didn’t
like
its
products
B.
the
leaders
lacked
the
sense
of
security
C.
the
CEO
stuck
to
the
conventional
ideas
D.
the
employees
took
many
risks
with
changes
68.
The
founding
of
CNN
is
used
as
an
example
to
prove
_________.
A.
missing
opportunities
could
lead
to
failure
B.
changing
could
contribute
to
business
success
C.
watching
news
at
the
dinner
hour
is
convenient
D.
conventional
wisdom
influences
business
success
69.
What
does
the
underlined
part
probably
mean?
A.
Rocket
scientists
can
ensure
the
CNN
works
properly.
B.
Most
of
the
viewers
don’t
like
to
watch
the
news
at
work.
C.
It’s
necessary
to
understand
when
people
watch
the
news.
D.
It’s
easy
to
know
people
needn’t
watch
the
news
all
the
time.
