15、ntion. A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we cant see what we cant see, our lecturer was determine
16、d to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting. Everyone except me, Im dyslexic (有阅
17、读障碍的），and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldnt be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. My curiosity was aroused, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩)came in among the players. She (we later learne
18、d a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera, thumped her chest, and then strode away while they continued passing the balls. When the tape stopped, the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had
19、 counted 13, 14, and congratulated those whod scored the perfect 15, Then he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?” I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. Hed set us up，trapping us in our own attention bli
20、ndness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasnt the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst. （分数：5.00）(1).This passage describes_ （分数：1.00）A.basketballB.an experimentC.a philosopherD.a gorilla(2).“Attentions blindness” refe
21、r to_. （分数：1.00）A.the fact that one cant see what one cant seeB.seeing one thing while missing all else.C.keeping track of just about everythingD.the condition of being blind to details(3).“Catch us in the act” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning of “find us _” （分数：1.00）A.doing something improperB.sleep

23、ssage Two There are few sadder sights than a pile of fan letters, lovingly decorated with hand drawings，suffering in a bin. The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift, a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls. “Dear Taylor,” read one discarded message, “I love you so much! You
24、re the best! And youre really beautiful and cute! Im really enjoying your songs,” This, along with hundreds of other similar letters sent from around the world, was discovered in a Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman. Swifts management was quick to reassure her admirer that they had b
25、een thrown out accidentally. The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagines, as they compose their letters, that Swift makes time lo view each one personally. Dealing with piles of fan mail is, however, an administrative burden for most celebrities. While some celebrities do l
26、ike to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not have time. But the fate of their correspondence is something most committed fans will not wish, to dwell on, says Lynn Zubernis，an expert in the psychology of fandom at West Chester University. “Theres this little bit of every fan t
27、hat thinks theirs will be the one that stands outits not an expectation, but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.” While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former, it stems from a deeply-rooted human need for community and belonging, Zub
28、ernis believes. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter of acknowledgement and a photo stamped with a reproduced signature can be a powerful experience. “People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolizing (偶像化),” she says. “They cant ring them up and say, Can we h
29、ave coffee? Its not about the autograph (签名) ,Its about the moment of connection.” （分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following statements is true? （分数：1.00）A.The letters in the bin were exaggerating.B.Some letters to Swift were thrown away unread.C.A woman discovered the letters and discard themD.Poorly dec

31、n mailB.are afraid of receiving fan mailC.try their best to read fan mail themselves.D.care about the fate of fan mail(4).According to Zubernis, fans want their letters to be read because they_ （分数：1.00）A.hope to show their hand drawingB.want the celebrities to see their talentC.desire to get connec
32、tion with the starsD.dream of getting a photo of the stars(5). Which of the following will fans cherish the most? （分数：1.00）A.The feeling of being related to their stars.B.The sense of being similar to their stars.C.The time spent with their stars.D.The autograph of their stars.Passage Three Facelift
33、 (紧肤术）followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Singapore? Over the last 10 years, Asias rise on the medical tourism scene has been quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action. The Indonesian island recently opened it
34、s first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with packages and services, Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta, which opened in 1998. The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedu
35、res and dental care. Unlike most of the regions hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort (度假村）than a medical facility. The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospitals medical, and dental cente
36、rs. If youre a celebrity who doesnt want everyone to know youre here for a bit of lipo (吸脂术），no worries. Theres a private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centro, which offers views of a golf course. BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides specific after
37、-care services like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patients. Latest technology and cool interiors are a start, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the worlds top international hospitals will be tough, says Josef Woodman, CEO of U.S.-based medical travel consum
38、er guide Patients Beyond Borders (PBB). “As a newcomer, Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare providers. To compete，Bali will need to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world. On the positive side, Bali is blessed as one of
39、the regions safest，most popular tourist destinations, with a built-in potential to attract medical travelers.” The Indonesian island couldnt have picked a better time to get into the game, says PBB. “The world population is aging and becoming wealthier at rates that surpass the availability of quali
40、ty healthcare resources,” says the companys research. （分数：5.00）(1).What does “medical tourism” (Para. 1) probably mean? （分数：1.00）A.Treating a disease during a tripB.Attracting patients with package toursC.Cosmetic treatment and a tour in oneD.Turning hospital into tourist attractions(2).How does BIM
41、C differ from regular hospitals? （分数：1.00）A.It offers cosmetic surgeryB.It has better environment and services.C.It accepts international patients.D.It has more beds and longer service hours.(3).BIMC wishes to attract celebrities with its_ （分数：1.00）A.privacy measuresB.first-class designC.free golf c
42、ourseD.tailor-made meals(4).According to Woodman, BIMC_ （分数：1.00）A.threatens its regional competitorsB.will soon take the lead in the industryC.needs further improvementD.faces both challenges and opportunities(5).What can be concluded from the last paragraph? （分数：1.00）A.The population is developing
43、 faster than medical resources.B.Healthcare is hardly available for the aging populationC.The world is in need of more quality medical care.D.The world population is becoming older and richer.Passage Four For many of us, asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a we
44、akness that world would not have known about, had we not asked for help. Ironically, its been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility(谦卑) to ask for help, they earn the respect of othe
45、rs. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn, we are strengthened by the very help that is provided. One of my clients (well call her Kira) recently made shift in how she was interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assume
46、d that she was expected to go away, develop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach
47、 was working for her, Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her bosss support. She could learn far more about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss-focusing on the content plus her delivery- and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at
48、the back end. So she made the request for his support. The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on presentation for a numb
49、er of Kiras key presentations, she benefited from her bosss thought process and was able to distinguish the critical components to enhance her own presentations. Kirs presentations now have punch! Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how are value and re
