15、ing 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! Youre the best! And youre really beautiful and cute! Im really enjoying your songs,” This, along with hundreds of
16、 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 been thrown out accidentally. The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagines, as they co
17、mpose 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 like to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not have time. But the fate of their correspon
18、dence 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 that thinks theirs will be the one that stands outits not an expectation, but a hope that theirs will be seen b
19、y 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, Zubernis believes. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter of acknowledgement and a photo stamped with
20、 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 have coffee? Its not about the autograph (签名) ,Its about the moment of connection.” （分数：5.00）(1).Which of the f

A philosopher who conducts research in
25、 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 determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a v
26、ideo 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 阅读障碍 的），and the moment I saw that grainy tape
27、 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 learned a female student was in the gorilla sui
28、t) 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 counted 13, 14, and congratulated those
29、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 blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but
30、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.an experimentB.a basketball matchC.a philosopherD.a gorilla(2).“Attention blindness” refers to _. （分数：1.00）A.seeing one th

33、 us，asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that the 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.
34、 When they demonstrate the humility (谦 卑）to ask for help, they earn the respect of others. 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 (we11 call her Kira) recently made a shift
35、in how she was interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed 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
36、often felt that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach 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 o
37、n the content plus her delivery-and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at 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 s
38、kills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on preparation for a number of Kiras key presentations, she benefited from her bosss thought process and was able to distinguish the critical components to enhance her own presentations. Kiras presentations now have punch! Some of us
39、 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 we value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the more sp
40、ecific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it is for them, to assist you. （分数：5.00）(1).Many people are unwilling to ask for help because they _. （分数：1.00）A.do not trust other peopleB.are confident of themselvesC.do not think it necessaryD.arc ashamed of doing so(2).Which of the foll
41、owing may the author agree with? （分数：1.00）A.Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.B.Helping others is helping oneselfC.Weak people often need more help.D.Well-positioned requests for help are welcomed.(3).Kiras request for help_. （分数：1.00）A.was turned downB.turned out rewardingC.led to her prom
42、otionD.benefited her boss in return(4).“Kiras presentations now have punch” means her presentations are_. （分数：1.00）A.controversialB.forcefulC.well receivedD.highly motivating(5).The purpose of the passage is to_. （分数：1.00）A.illustrate how to ask for helpB.show the importance of mutual helpC.encourag
43、e people to ask for kelpD.call for attention to others requestsPassage Four Facelift (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
44、 scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action. The Indonesian island recently opened its 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
45、new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures 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-lik
46、e lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospitals medical, and dental centers. 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 ev
47、en teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides specific after-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 internationa
48、l hospitals will be tough, says Josef Woodman, CEO of U.S.-based medical travel consumer 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
49、services to the region and the world. On the positive side, Bali is blessed as one of 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 quality healthcare resources,” says the companys research. （分数：5.00）(1).What does “medical tourism” (Para. 1)
