26、Women are friendly. But men are more competitive. Why? Researchers have found it's all down to the hormone oxytocin (荷尔蒙催生素). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently.
"Women tend to be social in their behavior. They often share with others. But men lend to be competitive. They are trying to improve their social status," said Professor Ryan.
Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interaction(互动)such as falling in love or giving birth.
But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.
Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship.
Professor Ryan's recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37. Half of the participants(参与者)received oxytocin. The other half received placebo(安慰剂). After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went through the same procedure with the other material.
Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions.
The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.
The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, men's ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.
Professor Ryan thus concluded: “Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people's abilities to better distinguish different social interactions. And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors(因素)that are mainly hormonal.”
【1】What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text?
A．Oxytocin.
B．Placebo.
C．The gesture.
D．The social status.
【2】What can we learn from Professor Ryan's previous experiment?
A．Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.
B．Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.
C．Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people's behavior differences.
D．Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others' success
【3】Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment?
A．To know people's different abilities to answer questions.
B．To know the differences between friendship and competition
C．To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions.
D．To test people's understanding of body language.
【4】Where is this article probably taken from?
A．A lecture script.
B．An advertisement.
C．A personal diary.
D．A health magazine.

28、Must-read Books that Are Hitting the Big Screen This Year
The Zookeeper’s Wife by Diane Ackerman
Starring: Jessica Chastain and Johan Heldenbergh
Release Date: July 31, 2017
This true story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Ackerman artfully retells the story of Jan and Zabinski and how they used their zoo to save over three hundred people from the Nazis. After their zoo was bombed, they managed to hide people in animal cages, giving animal names to their guests and human names to their animals. This is one story we truly hope lives up to the hype (大肆宣传) on film.
The Lost City of Z by David Grann

Release Date: August 14, 2017
Looking for adventure? This story is just what you need. The book (and film) tells the tale of British explorer Percy Fawcett and how he ventured into the Amazon jungle in 1925, never to return. It’s an enchanting mystery that we can’t wait to see play out on screen.
The Dinner by Herman Koch
Starring: Richard Gere and Rebecca Hall
Release Date: October 5, 2017
We always say we’d do absolutely anything for our kids, right?

As the story goes on, you’ll see just how far these parents will go to protect the ones they love.

29、The actors Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin are among 50 wealthy people, charged Tuesday in what Department of Justice officials called the largest college cheating scam (骗局) it has ever accused. The FBI alleged that parents spent up to $6.5 million to guarantee their children’s admission to elite universities by inflating entrance-exam scores and bribing college officials.
It’s the extreme, illegal version of what parents often do, attempting to bend the college-admissions system to their will to ensure their children’s privilege, convinced that a college name will lead to “success.” Parents believe that an elite school will make their kids happy or give them an edge in life. But the misleading focus on a “roadmap to success” not only isn’t a guarantee of either result — it’s also terrible for kids.
At a time when one in five college students reports having had suicidal thoughts over the past year, we must hammer home to families the message that tunnel-visioning toward selective schools is not only misguided, but dangerous. Instead of focusing on a college “search” to find the schools that will best fit a student, too many families are focusing on college “prep,” molding the student to fit a school. This practice tells teenagers they aren’t good enough unless they get a certain acceptance letter, a harmful message that lingers long after the application process. And for what? Students aren’t automatically happier at name-brand schools.
Yet so many families continue to have name-brand fever. Parents want the name of the college to reflect all the effort and hard work that they and their children put into the high-school years, and they want the name of their college to make up for the lack of sleep and other sacrifices they made along the way. But names don’t necessarily reflect substance. Names are empty. Yet not to mention the destruction of one’s childhood. As an Illinois high-school senior told me, “many students view their young life as “a conveyor belt,” making monotonous scheduled stops at high school, college, graduate school, a job, more jobs, some promotions, and then you die.”
Parents might tell themselves that they’re pushing so hard for the sake of their children. But whether they’re bribing officials, or donating buildings, the children are the ones who suffer.
【1】According to the FBI, families invested a lot of money in their kids’ admission __________.
A．to defend their children against the college cheating scam
B．to guarantee the legal version of admission to elite universities
C．for they have to bribe college officials for higher scores
D．for they want to ensure their kids’ access to elite schools
【2】The author suggests that what parents often do__________.
A．is sensible enough to ensure their children’s advantage in life
B．is more of a disaster than a guarantee for happiness and advantage
C．is in essence extreme and illegal
D．cannot guarantee their kids’ entrance exam results
【3】We can infer from Paragraph 3 that families should __________.
A．lay more stress on the choice of suitable colleges than pursuing name-brand schools
B．bring home the reports about many college students’ suicide to alert the kids
C．do more to help teenagers acquire acceptance letters
D．continue keeping an eye on their kids’ happiness at name-brand schools
【4】Which of the following statements is true about college names according to Paragraph 4?
A．The name of the college is meant by children to reflect their sacrifices along the way.
B．College names are empty so they cannot reflect the essence of life.
C．For all the grave consequences, parents are still obsessed with elite universities’ names.
D．Elite Schools’ names will destroy many young people’s “conveyor belt”.
30、Do What You Enjoy
Sometimes you may find that you are not happy in your life, although everything is going well. Most of the time you have to _________ this kind of unhappy life, since it is really hard to make changes and move on to a new business, which often involves(包含)taking _________.

He said that if I were not feeling _________, I should try to change my life to make it more delightful, and I would find real _________ as a result.

My father got into the insurance industry when he was very young, and he was very _________. He became one of the company's top salesmen, even though he was only 25 years old. Soon he became one of the first independent insurance salesmen in our state. _________, he decided to leave his successful _________ and move on to other fields. You might __________ why he did so. The answer was simple: he liked to do something challenging, something that __________ his strength and ability, especially in a way that is interesting. My father just wanted to have a try, and so he did. After leaving the insurance company, he worked in social media and then in digital technology, which really __________ him. Of course he wasn't successful in everything he tried , but he told me for__________ that he did something he liked, and that he had the __________ of doing what he enjoyed. __________ one's comfortable life is not easy.
I've learned this from my father, and I can say no matter __________ is good or bad, it is __________ to do one's favorite. When we do something we love, it gives us extra __________ to meet our goals, which are associated with psychological (心理上的)well-being and health.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Fiona Simpson, 23, was on her way home. She was driving on the D'Aguilar Highwav in Queensland, Australia, It was a long, lonely road, but she had company at least. Her 78-year-old grandmother and four-month-old daughter were with her for the journey.
Clouds started to roll in overhead. Fiona hadn't bothered to listen to the weather report that morning. Mostly because she had expected to arrive home before any sort of downpour hit. As she drove down the D’Aguilar Highway, however, the slight pattering(拍打) of rain began to beat into an angry drum beat upon the roof of the car.
Even though she had been driving quite slowly, she could hardly see the lines in the road. The pouring rain soon became so heavy that her windshield wipers(雨刮器) couldn't keep up. Fiona knew that her only option was to pull the car onto the side of the road until the bad weather lessened.
She stopped the car when suddenly she heard a sound that completely shocked her. The loud bang came from behind her, right near the window where her daughter sat. The glass of the window was broken, and a moment later she discovered that something equally sharp and dangerous was hitting her child.
It was hailstones(冰雹), nearly golf-ball-sized chunks of ice falling from the sky. Hailstones can cause serious damage. Even cattle can be killed as well if they do not seek shelter. Fiona dived into the back seat and tried to form a human shield(挡板) over the baby. Meanwhile, the hailstone was battering the roof of the car so loudly that she couldn't even hear the child crying beneath her.
Queensland had apparently been hit with a super-cell storm that resulted in tennis-ball-sized hailstones. Soon, even Grandma was being battered with the same falling ice. Fiona moved towards the front, still holding her baby in her arms, and tried to shield Grandma as well. Fiona found them caught right in the middle of the storm with nowhere to hide.
