Every nation has its special holidays. China observes New Year’s Day (January 1), May Day and National Day as legal holidays, as it was on Oct.1,1949 that the People’s Republic of China was founded. The Chinese have long celebrated the Chinese lunar year. In the United States, congress has declared several days as legal holidays such as New Year’s Day (January 1), Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday, Washington’s birthday, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day and so on. Some holidays celebrate special events in the development of a country, such as Greece’s Independence Day, Italy’s Liberation Day and India’s Independence Day.

28、 When I'm surfing the Web, I want to be attracted by articles on Europe's political history, but I end up reading trivia (琐事) such as a menu from a Michelin restaurant. Why am I not curious about the things I want to be curious about? Curiosity feels as if it's outside your control, but if you understand what causes curiosity, you might be able to direct it a little bit better.
Humans will give up the known benefit to explore the unknown. In one experiment, subjects were asked to choose one of four photos, each carrying some chance of paying a cash prize. Photos appeared again and again, so subjects learned to pick the best-paying. But when a novel photo appeared, they chose it quite more often. This preference for novelty is the reason why producers regularly change product packaging and advertising.
We're super curious when we sense that the environment offers new information to add to what we already know. Note that your brain calculates what you might learn in the short-term—your long-term interests are ignored. That' s why a cardiac surgeon (心脏外科医生) who is excited about her job will find a conference presentation on the operation boring if her brain decides that the talk won't add to her knowledge. However, when her friend persuades her to attend a lecture on arts, her brain may calculate that this will be a rich source of information—and she finds herself interested.
Why not just search for topics you truly want to learn about at present? That sounds logical, but a search for a topic like "universe" will lead to thousands of results. And there is no way of knowing which offers the just-right match to your present knowledge that will maintain (维持) your curiosity. You'll probably end up like the surgeon at the boring conference talk.
Albert Einstein advised a young student to "never lose a holy curiosity." But the challenge is changing its focus from something short-lived to something more lasting.
【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.It seems difficult to control our curiosity.
B.It's no hard task to fully understand curiosity.
C.Trivia can always attract everyone's attention.
D.Europe's political history is too boring to focus on.
【2】Why does the cardiac surgeon find attending the art lecture interesting?
A.She is tired of her present job.
B.She often attends art exhibition.
C.She finds it can expand her knowledge.
D.She considers it does good to her work.
【3】What can we learn from this text?
A.Subjects were more likely to choose repeated photos.
B.Well-matched results offer no way to maintain our curiosity.
C.Einstein suggested it was challenging to awaken the short-term curiosity.
D.Keeping our curiosity focused on the long-term interests is quite an effort.
29、 A study has found that middle-aged and older adults who live in greener neighborhoods have a decreased risk of developing metabolic syndrome (新陈代谢综合征) such as obesity(肥胖), hypertension(高血压)and high blood sugar.
The study, published in Environmental Pollution, was organized by the Barcelona Institute (研究所) for Global Health (ISGlobal). It differed from previous studies on the health benefits of green spaces in that it examined all of the symptoms (症状) of metabolic syndrome together collectively rather than as individual elements. Having metabolic syndrome increases a person's risk of heart disease, strokes and type 2 diabetes, according to the National Heart, Lung, and blood Institute.
The study from ISGlobal examined data from clinical examinations of over 6,000 British adults who were between 45 and 69 years old when the study began. The data was derived from four examinations participants who went through between 1997 and 2013 that included blood analyses, blood pressure and measurement of weight. “These findings suggest that long-term exposure to green spaces can play an important role in preventing metabolic syndrome as a whole.” according to a press release published by ISGlobal.
The correlation between nearness to green spaces and better health could be associated with the expanded opportunities for physical recreation and lower exposure to air pollution, according to Carmen De Keijzer, ISGlobal researcher and principal author of the study.
Female subjects were more likely than males to show the study's connection between living in greener and healthier neighborhoods and having fewer metabolic symptoms. “Women tend to spend more time in their residential (住宅的) neighborhood, which could explain this gender difference.” Carmen said. “We need greener cities if we want healthier cities.” She added.
【1】What do we know about the study from the first two paragraphs?
A.Symptoms were examined one by one. B.Several institutes took part in the study together.
C.Young people were not included in the study. D.It was the first study on health benefits.
【2】Why do women have fewer metabolic symptoms?
A.Because they have a different gender. B.Because they stay more where they live.
C.Because they live in greener cities. D.Because they live in healthier cities.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Living in Greener and Healthier Cities.
B.Women Having Fewer Metabolic Symptoms.
C.Metabolic Syndrome Increasing Heart Disease.
D.Greener Neighborhoods, Fewer Metabolic Symptoms.
