11.I have a memory of being about five years old,picking up a beautiful grilled(燒烤的)  cheese sandwich made for me by my hard-working mother and turning it over to see that the  other side was burned.Suddenly,what I thought was the perfect sandwich was not so perfect.Mom had tried to hide that fact from me.There was no question;I ate it anyway without complaining.However,that moment has stuck in my mind for many years.Now,at the age of 43as a mother of two children and as a biology professor where I am routinely the"academic mother"of hundreds of students every year,I find that I believe in The Grilled Cheese Principle.Here is what I mean.
Making a grilled cheese sandwich is easy,right?But when I think of how many burned grilled cheese sandwiches I have eaten,or I have made myself,I realize that most of the grilled  cheese sandwiches I have known have had at least one burned side.The thing is that although it  is a relatively easy thing to make I can also easily lose focus,and before long the sandwich is  burned.For my mother,the first side was usually perfect and the second side got burned due to  her being distracted.For me,I have tended to burn the first side,but then I more carefully monitor the second side.Either way,the grilled cheese sandwich suffers because it has not been given the attention it deserves.
So,I have learned that even the simplest task deserves my full attention.When I am  multi-tasking,I am doing none of the tasks well.And when I allow myself to be distracted,I am not in the present moment-not paying attention to the small details of living or enjoying the process.
So now,I believe the best way to make a perfect grilled cheese sandwich is to make only one at a time and give it my full attention.

24.How did the writer react to the sandwich with burned side?D
A.He ate it with full complaints.
B.He showed no interest.
C.He thought it was still perfect.
D.He was deeply impressed with it.
25.What does The Grilled Cheese Principle mean?A
A.Even simple things deserve full attention.
B.Losing focus makes the sandwich burned.
C.Self-made sandwiches are always burned.
D.we should make only one sandwich at a time.
26.Which one can replace the underlined word"monitor"?B
A.serve    
B.watch    
C.burn    
D.sell
27.What does the writer want to tell us?D
A.Never do multi-tasks.w
B.Learn to appreciate the burned sandwiches.
C.Nothing is perfect.
D.Devote yourself to one thing at a time.

6.While feelings of disgust can increase behaviors such as lying and cheating,cleanliness can help people return to ethical behavior,according to a recent study by marketing experts at Rice University,Pennsylvania State University and Arizona State University.The study highlights the powerful impact emotions have on individual decision-making.
As an emotion,disgust is designed as a protection.When people feel disgusted,they tend to remove themselves from a situation.The instinct is to protect oneself.People become focused onself'and they're less likely to think about other people.Small cheating starts to occur:If I'm disgusted and more focused on myself and I need to lie a little bit to gain a small advantage,I'II do that.That's the underlying mechanism.
In turn,the researchers found that cleansing behaviors actually keep the self-serving effects of disgust to a minimum.If you can make people think of cleaning products,the likelihood of cheating also goes away.People don't know it,but these small emotions are constantly affecting them.
The researchers conducted three randomized experiments causing disgust through various means.The study involved 600participants around the United States; both genders were equally represented.In one experiment,participants evaluated consumer products such as antidiarrheal medicine(止瀉藥),and diapers(尿布).In another,participants wrote essays about their most disgusting memory.In the third,participants watched a disgusting toilet scene from the movie"Trainspotting".Once effectively disgusted,participants were willing to lie and cheat for financial gain.
In another set of experiments,after falling into the state of disgust on participants,the researchers then had them evaluate cleansing products,such as household cleaners and body washes.Those who evaluated the cleansing products did not engage in deceptive behaviors any more than those in the neutral emotion condition.
At the basic level,if you have environments that are cleaner,people should be less likely to feel  disgusted.If there is less likelihood to feel disgusted,there will be a lower likelihood that people need to be self-focused and there will be a higher likelihood for people to cooperate with each other.
The deeper meaning of the study's findings is that these powerful emotions can be caused by a variety of small things when people are reading the newspaper or listening to the radio.What we found is that unless you ask people,they often don't know they're feeling disgusted.The question is how to make people more self-aware and more thoughtful about the decision-making process.

16.Rats are dirty,cunning and evil-in Chinese culture,at least.But a study published in early December in the journal Science suggests that rats can in fact be helpful,caring animals and can empathize(同情) with their rodent (嚙齒動物) friends.
Researchers from the University of Chicago kept two rats together for two weeks so that they could get to know each other.After this,one of the rats was put into a small clear cage,which could be opened from the outside.The other rat was left to run freely outside the cage.
The free rat seemed worried when it saw its friend was trapped.It cireled the eat digging and biting it.After a few days it finally figured out how to open the door.It released its friend and appeared to be excited,running happily after the trapped rat.
Researchers then did the same experiment on more rats.They found that the rats learned to open the cage faster if there was another rat trapped in it than if it was empty.By the end of the experiment,only five out of the 40 rats had learned to open an empty cage.Twenty-three out of 30 rats has learned to open the cage to free another rat.
To test just how"carring"a rat could be,researchers then has the rats choose whether to"rescue"a trapped rat or a piece of chocolate.This time the rats were equally likely to free a rat as they were to free the sweets.Inbal Ben-Ami Bartal led the study."The most shocking thing is they left some of the chocolate for the other rat,"he said.
Scientists have always known that empathy(共鳴)is not unique to humans.It has been proven that apes also feel the emotions of other apcs.However,said Jean Decety,one of the co-authors of the study,"this is the first evidence of helping behavior triggered(激發(fā))by empathy in rats."
49.What  is the main point of the first paragraph?B

    B.To introduce a new discovery about rats.
    C.To prove that people have got the wrong idea about rats.
    D.To draw people's attention to rats.
50.What did scientists discover in the experiment?D
    A.A free rat was excited when it saw another rat being trapped.
    B.Five percent of the rats learned to open an empty cage.
    C.Smart rats can learn to release another rat in a few hours.
    D.Most rats learned to open the cage to free another rat.
51.When a rat and a piece of chocolate were trapped in different cages,C.
    A.the rats outside couldn't decide which to release first
    B.more rats wanted to free their friend
    C.some of the rats even shared the chocolate with their friend
    D.the rats opened the cages faster to free the other rat than to free the chocolate
52.Which of the following statements is TURE?A
