And the BBC TV adapt

8、ation of the novel will premiere on Dec 26.It may surprise you to learn that it is a crime novel without a detective. What it does have is suspense and a very sinister (邪恶的) atmosphere.In the story, a group of 10 people gets an invitation to come to a house on a small island near Devon in South West

9、 England. Nobody refuses these invitations since each one is promised something the person wants: a job, a holiday, a chance to meet up again with an old friend .These people are all responsible for deaths. Some are directly responsible, others are responsible because of what they did not do. Anthon

10、y James Marston, for instance, killed two children while driving dangerously. He did not feel guilty and actually complained when he was banned from driving. Another, Emily Caroline Brent, is a harsh person who threw out a young servant for becoming pregnant while unmarried. The servant later killed

11、 herself.When they arrive at the house they are played a recording. The voice gives details of the wrongdoing of each of the guests.

Which is the closest meaning of the underlined word?A. suspect B. fiction C. uncertainty D. shock CChoosing the Right Resolution Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with, a goal o

16、f losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.To reach our goal of losing weight the output, we need to control what we eat the input . That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals. The alternative is to focus you

17、r resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “Ill stop having dessert for lunch,” or “Ill walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome. Recently

18、a new science behind incentives (激励) , included in education, 4has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others,

19、 the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect when based on output. Fryers conclusion was that the incentives for inputs might be more effective because students do not know how to do bett

20、er on an exam, aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And its easier to start again if you fail, bec

21、ause you know exactly what you need to do.If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isnt a goal be

22、cause its too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, dont stop with this general wish. Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday.In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.8. The writer thinks

23、that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because _ .A. it is hard to achieve for most Americans B. it is focused too much on the resultC. it is dependent on too many things D. it is based on actionable decisions9. In Roland Fryers research, some students did better than the others because _ .

24、A. they obeyed all the general rules B. they paid more attention to examsC. they were rewarded for reading some books D. they were motivated by their classmates10.

25、n my expense.” D. “Ill spend more time with my family.”11. The writer strongly believes that we should _ .5A. develop good habits and focus on the outcomeB. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habitsC. be optimistic about final goals and stick to themD. set ambitious goals that can ba

26、lance the input and outputDAre healthy people happier than seriously ill ones? Not necessarily. In a study described in The Journal of experimental Psychology, a group of people with end-stage kidney（肾）failure were provided with electronic devices that required them to record their moods at various

27、times throughout the day. For comparison, a group of healthy volunteers used the same devices. When researchers had studied the results, they found that the levels of happiness were about the same for the two groups.The researchers, led by Dr. Jason Riis of Princeton when he was a graduate student a

28、t the University of Michigan, also found that the healthy people greatly overestimated how unhappy the sick ones would be. And the sick people overestimated how happy healthy ones would be. For the study, 49 kidney disease patients who were undergoing dialysis（透析）sections three times a week were giv

29、en personal digital assistants, as 49 healthy volunteers were matched to the patients by age, race, education and sex. When the devices beeped, the subjects were asked to rate their mood on a 5-point scale, with 2 defined as “very pleasant” and minus 2 defined as “very unpleasant”. On average, the k

30、idney patients rated their mood as 0.70, while the healthy subjects rated it as 0.83. The participants were also asked to describe other emotions they might be feeling, including joy and anxiety, and to describe their levels of physical comfort. And sometimes they were asked, “How do you feel about

31、your life as a whole?”A better understanding of how well people are able to adapt to poor health, the researchers said, could help doctors and patients make wiser choices about their medical care. Earlier studies have also found that seriously ill patients described themselves as being happy. But th

32、ese patients were not given a chance to answer questions about their mood privately and repeatedly over a period of time, Dr. Riis said, and so it was unclear how accurate their responses were.12. What can be learnt from the study?A. the electronic devices used are digital assistants for dialysisB.
