News Report One
Have you noticed how similar you areto your friends?It may be because your brains operate inharmony with cach other.We knowthat friends are more likely to be the same age,gender and ethnic backgroundas each other.Now itseems their brains are alike,too.
Researchers at the University of California scannedthe brains of 42 classmates while they watched videos intended to provoke varying responses.Some people might finda romantic scene touching,forinstance,while others would feel it was embarrassing.The activityof friends'brains wasmore similarthan that of people who didn't know each other,particularly in regions involved in attention,emotion and language.This similarity was strong enough thatit could be used to predict whether two peoplewere already friends or not.The relationship probably goes two ways.We are drawn to people who think like us;we then influence theirthoughts overtime,which maypush their brain activityinto more closelyresemblingour own.
1.What may bethe reason that friends are similar toeach other according to the recent research?

W:Ourguest on today's Book Talk is John Black,the author of the newbestseller,Rerire Early.
M:Thanksfor having me on theshow,Lisa.
W:John,your book is getting a lotof attention,partly because you write that mostpeople can retire by 40.Istha realistic?
M:Definitely.When researching this book,I interviewed hundreds of peoplewho retired by 40.
W:Okay,but how much money does a person need to retire?I've read articles recommending onemillion dollars as a good figure for retirement.
M:Whilemost financial plannersdo give numbers,I don't think that's useful,as people are living in differentareas withdifferent costs of living,and have different needsand wants,which is why I suggest that people aim for financial independence.
W:What do you mean by financial independence?
M:Having investment income that's greater than monthlyexpenses.
W:That soundsriskyto me.What if an accident happensor you get lland ned medical treatment?Shouldn't people have extra cash foremergencies?
M:Too many people spend theirlives working on jobs they hate because they're afraid,so I counsel people to take risks.Retirement doesn't have to be permanent,and if people need to,they can go back to work.
W:But it's not always easy to get back into the workforce after an extended absence.
M:True,but if you keep current withyour skills,you will be attracted to employers.
W:Maybe,buthow can anyone save enoughto retire by 40 when most people can't retire at 60?
M:Simple,by cutting housing,food,and transportexpenses,and investing half your monthly income W:That sounds impossible.
M:I admitit's difficult,but it has worked for thousands.

Section C
Passage One
New research from Americastudies the role that the presence of individuals fromdifferent social or racial groups has in influencing consumers'food choices.This research found college students were more likely to choose healthy food in the presence of an observer of a different race,as opposed to an observer from their own race.The same was true when they were with someone from a different university,compared to someone from their own.Researchers say this was because participants anticipated more negative judgment from an outsider group. In contrast,they felt less judged by members of their own group.
In one experiment,participants wereoffered the choice betweencandy and fruit as a snack.When in thepresence of an unknown student from their own university,only 12 percent of students selected the healthier option.
However,this number was 31 per cent when in the presence of an unknown student from another university.Other experiments showed similarresults based on racial group.
What's the reason for this patten?The study found that people feeljudged to a larger extentby members of other groups.Because of this,they tategically use healthy food choices to make a positive impression.There have been many attempts to help consumers makehealthier choices,but consumers often struggle to maintaina healthy diet.This research finds that one way to promote a healthy diet could be to advertise the social benefitsof healthy choices.
16.What was the finding of the new research from Ameriea about consumers'food choices?
17.When did 31 per cent of students in the experiment selec the healthier option?
18.How could a healthy diet be promoted according to the findings of the new research?
Passage Two
Forcollege students under pressure,a dog maybe the best stress fighter around,according tothe findingof a recent study "It's a really powerful finding."said Patricia Pendry,who led the study.“Universities are doing a lot of great worktrying to help students succeed academically,especilly those who maybe at riskdue toa history of mental health issues oracademic and learning issues.[19]This study shows that traditionalstress management approaches aren't as effective for this population compared with programs that focus on providing opportunities to interact with therapy dogs."
The researchers measured executive functioning in the students involved in the study. Executive function is a term forthe skills one needs to plan,organize,motivate,concentrate and memorize.These areskills students need to succeed in college.The researchers found that students who were most at risk had the most improvements in executive functioningafter interacting withtherapydogs.Theseresults remainedwhen researchers followed up six weeks later.
Manyuniversities provide academie stress managementprograms and workshops.Theseare traditionally very similar tocollege classes.They often talk about ways toget more sleep,set goals,or manage stress or anxiety.Pendry acknowledges that these are really importan topics and these workshopshelptypical students succeed But they're less helpfulfor strugling students.Pendry believes thuse sludents may expericnce the programs as another lecture and feel eyen more stressed.
19.What doestherecent studyled byPatriclaPendry aim to examine?
20.What did the new study measure in the participants?
21.What does Patricia Pendry think traditional stress management programs may do?
Passage Three
Taking risksin business does not mean going into business blindly and then expecting great results.Onthe contrary,taking risks in entrepreneurship involves careful planning andhard work.Nobodycan really be sure if risks will be metwith success,no matter howcalculated they maybe.But this should not stop you fromtakingrisks,as risks are necessary if you want your business to succeed.
Some risks may not work out,butan optimistic risk-takerwill always look at failureasan opportunity to learn.The willingness to experimen with new ideas is key to business growth.As the old saying goes,"Nothin ventured,nothing gained."Failure will teach you howto think and plan strategically But just remember that no all risks are good ones,andwhen you fail,learm from it and move forward
Since most people tend to avoid risk,businesses that are brave enough to take risks already have a competitive advantage. They are the ones setting the standard with new ideas,fresh offers and bold inventions.Risk takers are bestat adapting in difficult times.Simply put,when most individuals stay away from risk,it means less competition for risk-takers. We don't know if you'll achieve what these risk-takers have achieved.But for as long as you want to stay safe,and foraslong as you are contentwithwhereyour business is right now,you will never find out.
22.What do entrepreneurs have to do when taking risksaccordingto the passage?
23.What does the passagesayis key to business growth?
24.What are we advised to do when we fail?
25.What does it mean to risk-taking businesses when most people tend to avoid risk?

解析：對(duì)話中男士和女士都對(duì)丹有一些評(píng)價(jià)，其中男士提到，丹的身體非常強(qiáng)健，所以答案為A項(xiàng)。女士提到，丹總是熱衷于體育活動(dòng)，B項(xiàng)的“極限運(yùn)動(dòng)”與此信息不一致，故排除；男士提到，丹每周還打兩三次網(wǎng)球，C項(xiàng)的“訓(xùn)練網(wǎng)球運(yùn)動(dòng)員”與此信息不一致，故排除；男士提到，丹大多數(shù)日子(most days)都去健 身房，這和D項(xiàng)“他把大部分時(shí)間都花在健身房里”語義有差別，most days表示大多數(shù)日子，指去的次數(shù)頻繁，但他在健身房待的時(shí)間長(zhǎng)短未知，most of his time(他的大部分時(shí)間)則表示他幾乎每天都花大量的時(shí)間在健身房，故排除D項(xiàng)。

12.關(guān)于男士最近出版的書，我們了解到什么?
A) 數(shù)百位退休人員正在討論它。

C) 它部分記錄了他自己的經(jīng)歷。

解析：在訪談中，女士提了一個(gè)問題，即一個(gè)人需要多少錢才能退休，然后她說自己讀過一些文章，建議將一百萬美元作為退休的理想數(shù)字，也就是說，一個(gè)人應(yīng)該有一百萬美元才能退休，所以正確答案是C項(xiàng)。雖然訪談中男士提到大多數(shù)理財(cái)規(guī)劃師都會(huì)給出數(shù)字，即退休儲(chǔ)備金額，但女士讀的文章并沒有建議應(yīng)該相信理財(cái)規(guī)劃師的數(shù)據(jù)，故排除B項(xiàng)；雖然女士提到人們應(yīng)該有額外的現(xiàn)金以備不時(shí)之需，但沒有提到盡早開始儲(chǔ)蓄，這也不是女士讀的文章提供的建議，故排除D 項(xiàng)；選項(xiàng)A在訪談中沒有相關(guān)信息，故也排除。
