As a culture,we are always crazy about anti-aging. But it only increases 36 .Instead, we need understand the tricks of time. In How to Stop Time, my novel about a 439-year-old man who _37 far more slowly than normal, I wanted to think about what being really old would be like. I wanted to 38 a character who was struggling with his relationship to time. I wanted to see if it would be possible to enjoy the_ 39 when you had so much past and so much future. I wanted to 40 how time does not always feel like the same thing.

I first truly understood this when I became ill with 41 problems in my 20s. It was well over a year_ 42 I began to feel anything like normal again. In my mind, days 43 out for what felt like weeks,and that year still feels like half a lifetime. Time was the 44 , in that sense, but in another way it was a friend.

Depression told me a lot of 45 that time could disprove. It told me I wouldn't be alive to see my 25th birthday, 46 that by Christmas I' d be confined (禁闭)to a padded cell wearing a straightjacket. Time was the one thing bigger than 47 itself. And I could feel its 48 as I built up days and weeks and months. It was the currency I traded in and 49 . Eventually, very 50 , my mind readjusted itself and 51 the lies that depression was telling it.

So,I have a(n) 52 relationship to lime. I do have worries about growing old, like everyone, but I would have 53 worries about not growing old. Rather than searching for a 54 life, we should understand that “forever is composed of nows". The 55 is in how to stop worrying and inhabit the nows that we have.

Cells divide many times throughout their lives. But they cannot do it forever. Once they have reached the limits of their reproductive powers, they enter a state called"senescence(衰老)" in which they carry on performing their duties but stop making new copies of themselves. For years it was assumed that, apart from their refusal to divide, senescent cells were otherwise similar in every detail to their replicating compatriots(同胞).

There is mounting evidence, though, that this is untrue. One study in 2016 reported that senescent cells in the kidneys and heart produce a protein that causes nearby healthy tissues to fail. Another study found that senescent cells contribute to diseases like atherosclerosis and arthritis. New work led by Darren Baker, a biologist at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, suggests the accumulation of senescent cells within the brains of mice causes the animals to develop neurodegenerative(神经变性的) diseases-- and that clearing out these cells can help prevent them.

Working with a team of colleagues, Dr. Baker obtained a population of mice that had been genetically engineered to quickly develop fibrous tangles(纤维团)of protein in their brains. These tangles are associated with the decline in mental abilities caused by diseases like Alzheimer's(早老性痴呆病) When the mice were four months old, Dr Baker collected brain tissue from some, and found senescent cells accumulating in the hippocampus, a seahorse-shaped region of the brain involved with learning and memory. By merely six months old, they were accumulating in the cerebral cortex(大脑皮层) as well----as were the tangles that are associated with neurological(神经系统的) decline.

To see what role, if any, senescent cells were playing in their decreasing brainpower, Dr. Baker genetically changed some mice such that their senescent cells could be removed with a twice-weekly dose of a specific chemical. That left a subgroup of mice that were still likely to have neurological diseases, but which also had their brains rid of senescent cells.

By the time these mice reached six months old, the tangles were almost entirely absent. When the mice were presented with objects they had met before, they approached them without hesitation, as healthy mice should. In contrast, mice whose brains were full of senescent cells approached the objects tentatively, as if they had never seen them before.

Mice are not people. It remains to be seen whether clearing exhausted cells from human brains could have similar benefits. Since it is not possible to do genetic engineering on humans beforehand, drugs that can clear out senescent cells will have to be developed instead. But Dr. Baker's results suggest that is worth trying. Indeed, the next project in his lab is to explore whether clearing senescent cells from the brains of mice that are already suffering from the murine(鼠类的) version of Alzheimer's might allow their already damaged brains to recover.

58. Based on Para. 3, what did Dr Baker observe from his genetically engineered mice?

A. Fibrous tangles in brains contribute to the disease of Alzheimer's.

B. Hippocampus is a region responsible for learning and memory.

C. Senescent cells spread fast in the brain along with some tangles

D Senescent cells in brains have caused the rats brainpower to decline.

59. Which is true of the mice whose senescent cells are removed?

A. There are not any tangles in their brain 6 months later

B.They imitated what healthy mice did to a familiar object

C.They dared to try whatever objects were given to them

D. They showed normal memory ability as healthy mice did.

60. Dr. Baker's next experiment will be on .

A. mice with Alzheimer’s

B. humans with damaged brains

C. mice with senescent cells removed

D humans with senescent cells cleared

C

Recently, many shoppers chose to avoid the crazy crowds and do their holiday shopping from the comfort of their computer. Sales at online stores gained by more than 15%o, making it the biggest season ever. But people are also returning those purchases at record rates, up 8% from last year.

What went wrong? Is the shadow of the global financial crisis making it harder to accept excessive addiction? Or that people shop more impulsively (冲动地)--------and therefore make bad decisions--------when online? Both arguments are seemingly reasonable. However, there is a third factor: a question of touch. We can love the look but in an online environment, we cannot feel the quality of a texture(质地), the shape of the fit, the fall of a fold or, for that matter, the weight of an earring. And physically interacting with an object makes you more committed to your purchase.

When my most recent book Brandwashed was released, I joined up with a local bookstore to conduct an experiment about the difference between the online and offline shopping experience. I carefully instructed a group of volunteers to promote my book in two different ways. The first was a fairly hands-off approach. Whenever a customer would ask about my book, the volunteer would take them over to the shelf and point to it Out of 20 such requests, six customers made the purchase.

The second option also involved going over to the shelf but, this time, removing the book and then holding onto it for just an extra moment before placing it in the customer's hands. Of the 20 people who were handed the book, 13 ended up buying it. Just physically passing the book showed a big difference in sales Why? We feel something similar to a sense of ownership when we hold things in our hand. That's why we establish connection by greeting strangers and friends with a handshake. In this case, having to then let go of the book after holding it might produce a sense of loss, and motivate us to make the purchase even more.

A recent study conducted by Bangor University together with the United Kingdoms Royal Mail Service also showed the power of touch, in this case when it came to traditional mail. A deeper and longer-lasting impression of a message was formed when delivered ill a letter, as opposed to receiving the same message online. FMRIS(功能性磁共振成像) showed that, on touching the paper; the emotional center of the brain was activated, thus forming a stronger bond. The study also indicated that once touch becomes part of the process, it could translate into a sense of possession. In other words, we feel more committed to possess and thus buy an item when we have first touched it. This sense of ownership is simply not part of the situation in

the online shopping experience.

As the rituals of purchase in the lead-up to Christmas change, not only do we give less thought to the type of gifts we buy for our loved ones but, through our own digital wish lists, we increasingly control what they buy for us. The reality, however, is that no matter how convinced we all are that digital is the way to go, finding real satisfaction will probably take more than a few simple clicks.

61. According to the author, shoppers are returning their purchases for all the following reasons EXCEPT that .

A. they are unsatisfied with the quality of the purchase

B. they eventually find the purchase too expensive

C. they change their mind out of uncertainty

D they regret making the purchase without forethought

62. What is the purpose of the experiment in the bookstore?

A. To see which promotion method is preferred by customers.

B. To find out the strengths and weaknesses of both methods

C. To try to set up a new retailer-customer relationship

D. To see the effect of an approach on customers' decisions

63. Why does the author cite the study by Bangor University and the Royal Mail Service?

A. To compare similar responses in different settings.

B. To provide further evidence for his own observation.

C. To offer a scientific account of the brains functions

D. To describe emotional responses in online shopping.

64. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Real satisfaction depends on factors other than the computer.

B. Despite online shopping we still attach importance to gift buying

C. Some people are still uncertain about the digital age.

D. Online shopping offers real satisfaction to shoppers

D

"I don’t know the future, "shrugged Neo in 1999's The Matrix "l came here to tell you how irs going to begin. " With him, on-screen and off, The Matrix pulled audiences into the future of cinema.

The Matrix. Magnolia. Being John Malkovich. Fight Club. The Blair Witch Project. The Sixth Sense Office Space. Man on the Moon. The Talented Mr Ripley Boys Don? Cry. Three Kings. Toy Story 2. The Iron Giant. Eyes Wide Shut. Cruel Intentions. Election. American Pie. Notting Hill and Runaway Bride. 1999 might be the greatest year of modern cinema. I think so. If you aren't crazy about two-thirds of these films. do you even like movies?

What's certain, however, is that 1999 is the most vital year of modern cinema- the moment that Hollywood featured the chosen ones who would become the heroes of the new millennium (千禧年),from David Fincher to Spike Jonze to a young girl named Angelina Jolie, who introduced herself to the public by winning best supporting actress for playing a mental patient

What explains 1999,'s extraordinary films? DVD sales began in 1997 and flooded studios with extra cash, especially in those first years as home viewers built their collection. Studios invested their money in a generation of upstart(初出茅庐的) directors, predicting that audiences would buy a good film twice: once in the theater, and again for their shelf.

Suddenly, the geniuses who'd been discovered during the independent wave in Sundance Film Festival in the 1990s were entrusted(委托)with millions of dollars. It was a creative renaissance. Directors seized the chance to get weird. Paul Thomas Anderson scored $37 million to shoot Magnolia. David O Russell shouldered $47 million to satirize(讥讽)the Gulf war. Even Spike Jonze, a music video director with zero film credits to his name, secured SI3 million to transport audiences to a multiverse(多元宇宙).

These up-and-coming directors became major 21st-century voices. Part of the reason Anderson, Russell and Jonze are still the kings is that today's directors haven't been given the same golden ticket. The talent doesn't. Ambitious mid-priced films went extinct when the DVD empire began to fall apart in 2008. Instead of betting on filmmakers with personal styles, studios put their chips on big screen superheroes. Stand out at this year's Sundance, and instead of being handed the freedom to dream, you'll be given the keys to a special permission-and a conference table of producers as supervisors. Or you'll stay small forever, struggling to be seen amid the crush of streaming media competing for the audiences attention.

Have a close look at the films of 1999 and we have a suspicion that we're stuck in The Matrix

ourselves. The near past is repeating like an endless programme. But we're also feeling a deeper

connection to 1999. The Year 2000 panic triggered filmmakers to think pessimistically about the future of human survival. And some of the directors feared that mankind had become too weak and materialistic to survive the millennium.

Therefore, in 1999 our heroes didn't win. They failed. They disappeared. They died. They blew up their world. But some film-makers still believe that the future is our world and we can change our tomorrow.

65. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraphs 2 and 3?

A. A majority of the audience are crazy about the movies produced in 1999

B. The Sixth Sense and Toy Story 2 were among the great movies of 1999

C. Angelina Jolie was acknowledged as the best leading actress of the year.

D. There appeared a bunch of big screen superheroes to save the world

66. The film studios invested in a generation of upstart directors partly because .

A. they predicted more money would be made by selling DVDs

B. those directors cooperated better with young film stars

C. people were attracted to theatres by superheroes

D directors seized the chance to persuade them to do so

67. The underlined expression"the same golden ticket"probably refers to .

A. good films B. excellent characters

C. fame and privilege D. money and chance

68. The sentence "The risk paid off. "should be placed at the beginning of Paragraph .

A. three B. four C. six D. seven

69. The underlined part"in 1999 our heroes didn't t win. They failed. They disappeared. They died

They blew up their world. "shows that .

A. those filmmakers were pessimistic about the future of human survival

B. sad ending movies were well received by home viewers at that time

C. tragedies have had a lasting influence on modern films films since 1999

D. the following generation would have a deeper connection to 1999

70. Which is the best title of this film review?

A. 1999-------the Beginning of Modern Cinema

B Millennium-------a Cinema Season of Panic

C.21st Century-------Pessimistic Future of Human Being

D. 1999-------the Greatest Year in Modern Cinema

How to Make Your Family's Summer Vacation Extra Memorable

With summer vacation right around the corner, it's no surprise that families are brainstorming their plans. But enjoying a vacation to the fullest really depends on how we prepare for it! This is how to make your family s summer vacation extra memorable.

Create a travel plan together

Planning is one of the most fun parts of a trip, and creating a travel plan with the entire family will make you enjoy your vacation. Plus, diligently follow a schedule and you can manage to cross off every single thing on your bucket list within a certain time span. Let the kids choose places to visit too. You can take the opportunity here to educate them about a destination and discover what they wish to do.

Stay on top of organization

The last thing anyone wants to think about on vacation is whether or not they lost a valuable item or accidentally left something at home. You can create a list of everything that will be brought on vacation. Being organized also applies to the mode of transportation, such as a car for a road trip. Pre-organize your vehicle beforehand by clearing out the trunk and intentionally placing items on the side of seats that fulfill the needs of a passenger conveniently, such as giving your partner a blanket and pillow so that they can feel comfortable in the front seat

Make the lulls(间隙)in travel time pleasant for everyone

Travel time can feel boring at times, especially when you must travel for hours at a time. Don' t be afraid to be silly and play classic travel games such as I Spy or 20 Questions--the age of participants don't matter! You can use this travel time as an opportunity to learn about what's going on in their lives. Perhaps you have a teenager who takes part in multiple extra-curricular activities and has an active social life, this is your chance to ask them to share that part of their life with you.

Have everyone take it easy on the technology use

We live in an age that thrives on technology and people are behind their smartphones every day. While not necessarily a bad thing, technology can disconnect you from experiencing the present moment. Therefore, refuse to take out your phone and encourage your partner and children to do the same. Instead of using your phone to share feed or telling people about your vacation on social media, actually take the time to experience and appreciate your trip.

Summer vacations with the family are the most wonderful times of the year. The next chance you have to plan a summer vacation trip with yours, remember these tips. This way, you can have an extra memorable vacation every summer.

Education does Count (excerpt)-Bill Gates

Hundred of students send me e-mail each year asking for advice about education. They want to know what to study, or whether it's OK to drop out of college since that's what I did.

My basic advice is simple and heartfelt. "Get the best education you can. Take advantage of high school and college. Learn how to learn.

It's true that I dropped out of college to start Microsoft, but I was at Harvard for three years before dropping out -and I'd love to have the time to go back. As I've said before, nobody should drop out of college unless they believe they face the opportunity of a lifetime. And even then they should reconsider.

In my company's early years, we had a bright part-time programmer who threatened to drop out of high school to work full-time. We told him no.

Quite a few of out people didn't finish college, but we discourage dropping out. Having a diploma certainly helps somebody who is looking to us for a jot

There's not a perfect correlation between attitudes in high school and success in later life, of course.But it's a real mistake not to take the opportunity to learn a huge range of subjects, to lean to work with people in high school, and to get the grades that will help you get into a good college.

【写作内容】

1. 以约30个词概括这段短文的内容;
