A car dealership in my hometown of Albuquerque was selling six to eight new cars a day. I was
also told that 72 percent of this dealership's first-time visitors returned for a second visit.

I was curious. How does a car dealership get 72 percent of its first-time visitors to return? And
how can they sell six to eight cars a day in a declining car market?

When I walked into Saturn of Albuquerque that Friday, the staff there didn't know me from
Adam; yet they shared with me their pricing policy, the profit margin on every model, and staff
income. They even opened their training manuals for my review and invited me back on Saturday
if I wanted more information.

On Sunday, the day after my second visit to the Saturn store, my wife, Jane, and I were walking
as we frequently do. On this particular June morning, Jane gently slipped her hand in mine and
said tenderly,
＂
I don't know if you remember, but today's my fifth anniversary of being cancer-
free.
＂
I was surprised, partially because I was embarrassed that I had forgotten
and, partially
because.... Well, I didn't know what to do with Jane's information.

The next day, Monday, Jane went off to work teaching school. Still not knowing what to do to
mark this special occasion, I did the most impetuous thing I've ever done in my life: I bought a
new Saturn. I didn't pick the color or the model, but I paid cash and told them I'd bring Jane in on
Wednesday at 4:30. I told them why I was buying the car.

On Tuesday, it dawned on me that Jane always wanted a white car. I called the sales consultant
at Saturn, and I asked him if he had anything white in the store. He said he had one left but he
couldn't guarantee it'd still be available on Wednesday at 4:30 because they were selling so fast. I
said I'd take my chances and asked him to put it in the showroom.


Wednesday
came.
Unexpectedly,
someone
in
our
family
was
admitted
to
the
hospital.
So,
it
wasn't until 9:30 Saturday morning when we finally made our way to the Saturn store. Jane had
never been in a Saturn store. When we went through the front door, the Lord took control of her
feet and her mouth. She saw that little white Saturn coupe all the way across the showroom floor.
She quickly passed a multi-colored sea of automobiles, sat in the little white Saturn and said,
＂
Oh, what a pretty little car. Can I have a new car?
＂
I said,
＂
No. Not until our son graduates from
college.
＂
She said,
＂
I'm sick and tired of driving that old Dodge, I want a new car.
＂
I said,
＂
I
promise, just three more semesters and he'll be out.
＂

Next, Jane walked around to the front of the car. As she looked it over, she let out the most
blood- curdling, shrill scream I'd ever heard in 29 years of marriage.

Now, before I tell you why Jane screamed, let me tell you what the sales consultant had done.
He had ordered a large, professionally engraved sign (white letters on blue). The sign stood alone
on the hood of the little white Saturn coupe. It said
＂
Congratulations, Jane. This car is yours.
Five
years
cancer-free.
Let's
celebrate
life.
From
Team
Saturn
＂

Every
employee
at
Saturn
of
Albuquerque had signed the back of that sign.

Jane saw it, screamed, collapsed in my arms and cried loudly. I didn't know what to do. I was in
tears.
I
took
out
my
invoice
(
发票
)
from
the
previous
Monday,
pointing
to
the
white
coupe,
said,
＂
No, honey, this car isn't yours. I bought you this one.
＂
I tapped the invoice with my index
finger. Jane said,
＂
No, I want this one right here.
＂

While this conversation was going on, there was no one in the store. The sales consultant had
arranged it so that we could share the moment alone. Even so, it's impossible to have a lot of
privacy
when
so
many
people
are
standing
outside
the
showroom
windows
looking
in.
When
Jane screamed and collapsed in my arms, I saw everybody outside applaud and begin to cry.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（
A
、
B
、
C
和
D
）中，选出最佳选项。



A
large
body
of
research
has
been
developed
in
recent
years
to
explain
many
aspects
of
willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How
can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests,
what can be done to make it stay strong?

Avoiding temptation (
诱惑
) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called
the
attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.

The research
suggesting
that
we
possess
a
limited
reservoir
of
self-control raises
a
troubling
question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don't
believe that one's willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some
willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those
reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High
motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.

Willpower may also be made less vulnerable (
脆弱
) to being exhausted in the first place.

Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with
heavy
use.
But
there
is
another
aspect
to
the
muscle
comparison,
they
say.
While
muscles
become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the
long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.

The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions
on
New
Year's
Eve
is
the
worst
possible
approach.
Being
exhausted
in
one
area
can
reduce
willpower
in other
areas,
so
it
makes more
sense
to
focus
on
a
single
goal
at
a
time.
In other
words, don't try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same
time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says,
you'll
no
longer
need
to
draw
on
your
willpower
to
maintain
the
behavior.
Eventually
healthy
habits will become routine, and won't require making decisions at all.

（
1
）
From the studies in the passage we learn that ________.

A. people have unlimited self-control
B. high motivation ensures one's success

C. willpower is hardly completely exhausted
D. too many temptations often lead to failure

（
2
）
The underlined phrase

A. make use of
B. run out of
C. build
D. increase

（
3
）
The author compares self
—
control to muscles ________.

A. to prove the long-term effect of willpower

B. to show the significance of regular exercise

C. to argue that self- control can he easily used up

D. to explain the benefits of practicing self- control

（
4
）
To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?

A.
B.

C.
D.

【答案】

（
1
）
C

（
2
）
A

（
3
）
D

（
4
）
C

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议 论文，列举了关于意志力的几种研究和观点，作者认为有
了明确的目标，良好的自我监督和练习，就可以 在面对诱惑时使意志力保持坚强。


（
1
）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的
“Researchers don't believe that one's willpower is ever
completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future < br>demands.”
可知，研究人员不相信人的意志力会完全耗尽，他们还有备用的和为将来需求 节
省的意志力。所以从文章中的研究我们了解到意志力几乎没有完全丧失。故选
C
。< br>

（
2
）考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的

right
motivation
allows
us
to
tap
into
those
reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down.
可知，
正确的动机使我们能够利用这些储备，即使我们的自我控 制能力已经被消耗殆尽，我们仍
然可以继续前进。所以通过上下文的语境，判断出

指利 用，与
make use of
同义。
故选
A
。


（
3
）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的
“While
muscles
become
exhausted
by
exercise
in
the
short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices
of
self-
control
may
improve
willpower
strength.”
可知，虽然肌肉在短期内会因运动而疲惫 不
堪，但长期而言，它们会通过经常锻炼而增强。同样规律的自我控制可以提高意志力。两
者相 比是为了说明同一个道理：长期的锻炼和自我控制的好处。所以作者把自我控制比作
肌肉是为了解释自我 控制的好处。故选
D
。


（
4
）考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的
“Taking
goals
one
by
one
is
a
better
approach.
Once a good habit is in place, you'll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the
behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won't require making decisions at
all.”
可知，作者认为一个 接一个的制定目标是一个更好的方法。一旦养成好习惯，你就不再
需要依靠意志力来维持自己的行为。最 终健康的习惯将成为惯例，而且不需要做任何决
定。所以
C
项

是先设 立目标，然后成为好习惯，作
者更喜欢这种目标。故选
C
。

Average humans can consume 15 or more drinks in plastic bottles a month. If you were born
after 1978, and live until 80 years old, you will leave behind a minimum of 14,400 plastic bottles
on
this
planet.
These
bottles
take
hundreds
of
years
to
break
down
into
tiny
pieces
of
plastic,
never
to
completely
disappear.
Most
of
the
waste
is
consumed
by
fish
and
birds,
which
has
shortened their lifetime greatly.


The
Plastic
Bottle Village
is
just
a
great
idea
that
might
finally
save
us
from
being
buried
in
plastic. It's a community in Panama that is going to be made of used bottles. The design process
begins
with
building
steel
frames,
which
are
then
filled
with
these
bottles.
Once
this
step
is
complete,
and
electrical
and
plumbing
(
管道装置
)
lines
are
put
inside,
the
plastic
walls
are
covered
by
concrete
—
both
inside
and
outside.
So
no
one
will
actually
be
able
to
tell
that
the
walls are made of plastic. Besides, the material will keep the house 17°
C cooler than the outside,
which is the biggest benefit to people living inside.

The village is the brainchild (
主意
) of Robert Bezeau with the intention of setting up several
environmental
projects.
Having
started
a
recycling
program
four
years
ago,
during
which
a
number of plastic bottles were collected, he started to think of how they could be put to use.
Soon enough, he decided to use them to build houses, and came up with a basic idea for the
construction process.

The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they
can do more to protect the environment. The village will also create an education center that will
teach individuals from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as construction materials for shelter.
Recycled bottles could neutralize the negative effect of your passage on this planet, and move
closer to leaving only your “footprints”.

A
12-year- old
with
end
stage
cancer,
the
child's
parents
had
recently
moved
her
from
the
hospital to her home in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Some days later the girl's breath quickened,
and her father phoned the family's hospice nurse. Please come, he said.

The nurse knew the visit would require more than four hours of her time: a two-hour drive in
each direction, plus her time with the girl. Why don't we connect over FaceTime, she asked. The
father agreed, and they connected.

The nurse asked the father to move his daughter gently to her side, then to her back, to lift the
child's shirt. The nurse would ask: What do you see, what concerns you, and the father would
explain. In this fashion the pair examined the girl --- the nurse on her computer, the father his
iPad. Together they decided that the nurse's presence was not necessary, that the child had more
time.

Later, the father reported feeling comforted by the nurse. He appreciated her availability, the
fact that she could see what he saw, and their ability to discuss it in real time.

Telemedicine has become a trend in America. Some hospitals have gone so far as to specially
design telemedicine clinics. The room is staged like an office but with better lighting. There's a
nice
desk
for
the
clinician
to
sit
behind,
a
computer
situated
stage
left,
and
books
in
the
background.
A
physician
taking
a
video
call
from
home
might
wear
a
pair
of
headphones,
equipped with a mic --- to ensure whatever the patient says isn't broadcast to anyone off-camera.

However, there is something more than the technology bit. According to David, the head of the
telemedicine
pilot
the
girl's
family
had
been
part
of,
there
are
some
people
who
are
great
in
person and you put them on camera they're a dead fish. “Some physicians
are camera shy. For
others, the physical isolation can actually help them be more empathetic.” He adds.

The next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) may be sitting right beneath you, at least if
furniture maker Ikea has any say in the matter. The Swedish furniture company's “future
-
living”
research
lab
in
Copenhagen
is
conducting
a
survey
to
understand
what
people
want
when
it
comes to smart furniture.

AI is now walking into more aspects of people's daily lives. Self- driving cars are just around the
corner,
and
AI
robots
can
play
and
beat
the
best
players
of
strategy
games.
As
smart
home
technologies have become more ubiquitous, products ranging from smart electrical outlets
（插
座）
to smart smoke alarms are flooding the market. Therefore, it's not surprising that Ikea would
be moving in the same direction.


Exactly
why
people
would
want
their
sofa
or
bed
frame
to
speak
to
then,
track
their
daily
movements or offer help is not yet clear. Though Ikea's the new survey doesn't directly answer
that
question,
it
does
provide
a
hint
of
what
people
would
feel
comfortable
with.
Most
participants wanted a more human0like form of virtual
（虚拟的）
assistants, as opposed to one
that
is
more
robotic.
In
terms
of
the
ideal
gender
（性别）
of
the
assistants,
the
most
popular
choice was neither male nor female. Few wanted a religious form of AI.

Just as with human friends, most wanted AI friends that were like them, affirming their own
worldview. They wanted an AI assistant that was reasonably intelligent-that could collect data to
predict
what
a
person
wanted
before
he
or
she
asked,
and
that
could
prevent
someone
from
making mistakes.

This is not the first time that Ikea has set foot in the field or futuristic technologies. In addition
to wireless charging tables and chainless bikes that never rust
（生锈）
, the furniture giant has
also pictured smart kitchens that can cook the best meal. To decide on how intelligent you want
your next sofa or bookshelf to be, you can take Ikea's survey online.

（
1
）
What does the underlined word

A. Beautiful.
B. Common.
C. Normal.
D. Environment.

（
2
）
What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. The
differences
between
robot- like
and
human-like
assistants.
B. What
form
of
AI

C. What kind of friends people want. D. The popular robots on the market.

Castle Dale is a small town in central Utah. My grandpa's farm is a few miles to the north. I
grew
up
there.
Milking
a
cow,
feeding
the
chickens
and
cutting
firewood
were
daily
routines.
Grandpa had me carrying a broom to do snow cleaning when it was actually taller than I was. This
was the work kids like me learned to do at a young age.


I
was
tall,
very
tall
at
a
really
young
age.
My
unusual
height
caused
people
to
look,
ask
questions, laugh, tease, and sometimes even challenge me to fight. I was teased cruelly as a kid.
It wasn't fair, I knew, but that was just the way it was. Luckily, I was taught at a very young age a
very important lesson. I am different and that's Okay
—
I'm unique and I matter. No one could ever
take that away from me. I knew this then, and I know this now. That alone helped me through the
frustrations and heartaches of normal life.

When I was in junior high school, I realized something else that helped me cope. Most teasing
came
from
one
of
two
places
—
people
who
were
either
jealous
or
ignorant
(
愚昧
).
I
couldn't
change the way they were, but I could change the way I felt. I was not going to feel bad because
of their ignorance or jealousy. It wasn't worth it. Realizing this didn't stop them, or change the
fact that these comments hurt. It did, however, give me a way to understand these people and
deal with their treatment in a way that was okay for me.

These things still happen today. It will probably happen the rest of my life. I will always be 7
feet,
6
inches
(2.29
meters)
tall.
I
wouldn't
change
that
for
anything.
People
will
always
look
because it is not every day that you see someone that tall. I learned that at a young age and I
now try to teach my own children that they are unique and they matter. That is the message I
give to you. Regardless of your race, religion, background, or circumstances ... Being different is
okay.

Feelings often run high where insects are concerned, with many people even sick when seeing
them, let alone touch or swallow them. And yet insects present a huge nutritional opportunity as
an increasing global population seeks more sources of food and feed.


Insects
have
generally
high
levels
of
animal
protein
and
key
micronutrients
with
lower
environmental footprints than traditional alternatives, and they can be raised on leftovers. But
cultural,
social
and
economic
problems
remain,
reports
an
article
published
today
in
Nutrition
Bulletin.


“Insects
present
a
nutritional
opportunity,
but
it
is
unclear
how
their
nutritional
quality
is
influenced
by
what
they
are
fed,”
says
Darja
Dobermann,
a
researcher
at
the
University
of
Nottingham.
“In
ideal
conditions,
insects
have
a
smaller
environmental
impact
than
most
traditional western forms of animal protein; less known is how to raise insect production while
maintaining these environmental benefits.”


“Studies overall show that insects could make valuable economic and nutritional contributions
to the food or fed systems, but there are no clear regulations in place to bring insects into such
supply systems without them turning into a more expensive version of poultry
（家禽）
for food,”
says Dobermann.

The article highlights how insects have been a source of food for hundreds of years in more
than
100
countries
with
over
2,000
species
that
can
be
eaten;
in
central
Africa,
up
to
50%
of
dietary
protein
has
come
from
insects,
with
their
market
value
higher
than
many
alternative
sources of animal protein.

Insects need to be large enough to make the effort of catching them worthwhile and easy to
locate, preferably in predictably large quantities. They are consumed at various life stages, as raw,
fried, boiled, roasted or ground food.

（
1
）
Which of the following is the advantage of raising insects for food?

A. It will offer people work opportunities. B. It is environmentally friendly.

C. It will replace traditional food.
D. It will result in less leftovers

（
2
）
What can be inferred from Dobermann's words?

A. Raising insects for food has become popular.
B. Raising insects can't solve food problems.

C. More
should
be
done
to
raise
insects
for
food.
D. More
money
can
be
made
by
raising
insects.

（
3
）
What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 stand for?

A. Insects B. Regulations C. Feed systems D. Supply systems

US student Vanessa Tahay stands out from the other teenagers in her school. Her skin is dark,
her accent is thick, and if you ask her, she will tell you these are the things she is proudest of.
Tahay is a poet, and at 18 she was considered among the best in Los Angeles.

When she is on the stage, audiences often go silent. They also laugh, shout and cry. But this
doesn't
come
easily
for
someone
who
comes
from
a
village
that
sits
at
the
base
of
a
huge
mountain range in Central America. When she first appeared at school, she was teased by others
for being short and different. She never spoke, so they called her “mouse”.


“How do I defend myself?” Tahay thought. “I don't know how.”


“Keep going,” her mother would tell her. “At some point, you'll learn.”


She
spent
hours
after
school
and
on
weekends
watching
the
same
DVDs:
English
without
Barriers.

Tahay's elder brother, Elmer, persuaded her to go to the after-school poetry club. In the last six
years,
her
English
teacher
Laurie
Kurnick
has
turned
Cleveland
Charter
High
School's
poetry
program
into
one
of
the
most
respected
in
the
city.
Her
team
draws
from
the
likes
of
D.H.
Laurence, Pat Mora and Kendrick Lamar to create poems about their own lives. The poems focus
on many things
—
some funny, some painful.

The first time Tahay read the group's poems, chills went up her spine (
脊柱
). “I wish I could
write like that,” she thought. “I want to say something.”

She wrote her first poem about her first year in America. She called it
Invisible
. The day her turn
came to recite in front of the team, she broke down crying. She cried for 15
minutes. “I had so
much held in,” Tahay said. “I couldn't even finish it.”

But she kept at it despite her less-than-perfect grammar, spelling and diction (
措辞
). Still, she
wouldn't tell her friends about her poetry because she worried they would make fun of her.


But with time, her poems changed her. “They gave me pride,” Tahay said. “They told me that
I'm worth something.”


“She had this innocence,” Kurnick said. “This willingness to be genuine and show you things
you don't ever see.”

（
1
）
What did Tahay's mother suggest she do when she was teased by others?

A. Fight with them bravely. B. Report them to her teachers.

C. Ignore them and keep going.
D. Try hard to make friends with them.

（
2
）
What are the themes of Tahay and her team's poems?

A. Their admiration for the great poets.
B. Their appreciation of natural beauty.

C. Their expectations of a better future.
D. Funny and painful stories about their lives.
