Our brains have developed this way because threats, like dangerous animals, had a more immediate effect on our ancestors survival compared to positive things like food or shelter. As a

12、result, you likely know what makes you unhappy, but do you know what makes you happy?Research suggests that our level of happiness depends partly on factors we cannot controlour genes and our life circumstances. But our level of happiness is also shaped by the choices we make. If youve been chasing

13、wealth, fame, good looks, material things and power, you may be looking for happiness in all the wrong places. Psychologists suggest that the following habits make people happier.People who form close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not. The number of friends we have is not import

14、ant, What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually involve the sharing of feelings, mutual respect, acceptance, trust and fun.People who exercise regularly improve both their physical and mental well being. Some research has shown that exercise can be a

Decades of data, including a more recent Gallup study, characterizes the US as one of th

21、e most geographically mobile countries in the world. “About one in four US adults(24 percent) has reported moving within the country in the past five years.” the reported noted. With the exception of Finns(23 percent) and Norwegians(22 percent), Americans move considerably more than their European p

22、eers.Though some may move for love or family, the major reason why Americans choose to move around is, unsurprisingly, related to work. Citing data from the Current Population Survey, a post on the blog of the New York Fed noted that between 58 and 2013, “slightly more than half of interstate(州際的) m

23、igrants said they moved for employmentrelated reasonsa category that includes moves undertaken for new jobs, job transfers, and easier commutes(通勤).”The seeking of opportunity, particularly for an immigrant nation, is a national mythology(神話) as well as an emotional attachment to work. A new working

24、 paper analyzed by Ben Steverman at Bloomberg suggests that workers in the US now “put in almost 25 percent more hours than Europeans” in a given year. This figure has steadily risen since the 30s, when the hours logged by workers in Western Europe and the US were roughly the same.There are, of cour

25、se, some internal factors. The US is much vaster than most European countries, plus it boasts(擁有) a common language. It is considered to be a sign of an efficient labor market that US workers can be persuaded to move to regions where there is a steady growth in jobs, such as the Sun Belt in recent y

26、ears. And while American workers often have fewer labor protections than their European counterparts, as a report by the World Bank noted in 2012, American “l(fā)abor laws give employers the power to fire, hire, or relocate(重新安置) workers according to their needs”， a flexibility that is thought to aid ec

27、onomic growth. The World Band report added that the occupation of the average US employee in 66 was 4 years, compared to 10 years in the European Union.Nevertheless, while Americans remain excessively mobile, FaithKarahan and Darious Li at the New York Fed are the latest to note that US workers are

28、moving around less than before. During the 40s, 3 percent of workingage Americans relocated to a different state each year; that figure had been cut in half by 2010. “While part of the decline can be attributed to the Great Recession，” the authors suggest, “this_phenomenon took place over the course

29、 of several decades and is not necessarily related to the economic conditions.”So what accounts for this phenomenon? A roundup of theories by Brad Plumer at The Washington Post included the aging of the US workforce, the further rise of twoincome households, the burdens of real estate, evolving work

30、place culture, as well as the flat line of wages, which makes moving away for a job, on average, a less rewarding financial proposition.Karahan and Li put much stock in the effects of an aging workforce, to which they attribute at least half of the decline in interstate migration. “In short, a young

31、 individual today is moving less than a young person did in the 40s because of the higher presence of older workers，” they write, suggesting that employers have shifted their employment tactics(策略) to adapt to the changing demographics(人口統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)) of the workforce. Needless to say, movies about this era

32、 in American life, in which fewer people set out to start lives in wideranging places, will probably be much less exciting.1、According to the passage, in the past five years, Americans have moved _.Arelatively less than the BritishBless frequently than ItaliansCslightly more than NorwegiansDconsider

37、 unbelievable tasks, such as memorizing thousands of random numbers in under an hour, state that they just have normal brains. Some memory superstars compete in Olympic-like World Memory Championships. These mental athletes, or MAs for short, can memorize names of dozens of strangers in a few minute

38、s or any poem handed them. Ed Cooke, a 24-year-old MA, explains they see themselves as participants rescuing the long-lost art of memory training. These techniques existed not to recall useless information, but to cut into the brain basic text and ideas.A study in the journal Nature examined eight p

39、eople who finished near the top of the World Memory Championships. The scientists examined whether their brains were fundamentally different from everyone elses or whether they were simply making better use of memorizing abilities we all possess. They put the MAs and control subjects into brain scan

40、ners and had them memorize numbers and photographs. The result surprised everyone. The brains of the MAs and those of the control subjects were indistinguishable. On every test, the MAs scored in the normal range. However, when the scientists examined what part of the brain was used during a memory

41、activity, they found the MAs relied more heavily on areas in the brain involved in spatial memory.MAs offer an explanation: anything can be fixed upon our memories and kept in order by constructing a building in the imagination and filling it with pictures of what needs to be recalled. Dating back t

42、o the fifth century, the building is called a memory palace. Even as late as the fourteenth century, when there were copies of any text, scholars needed to remember what was read to them. Reading to remember requires a different technique than speed reading. If something is made memorable, it has to

43、 be repeated. Until relatively recently, people read only a few books intensively (細(xì)致地) again and again, usually aloud. Today we read extensively, usually only once and without continuous focus.So the great difference is the ability to create impressive pictures in mind and to do it quickly. Using m

44、emory palaces, MAs create memorized pictures. For example, recombine the pictures to form unforgettable scenes such as the ways through a town. One competitor used his own body parts to help him memorize a 57,000-word dictionary.Anyone who wishes to train the mind needs first to create fantastical p

45、alaces in the imagination. Then they should cut each building into cubbyholes for memories. In a short amount of time, they will notice improvement with remembering things. To keep the skill sharp, MAs deliberately empty their palaces after competitions, so they can reuse them and they recommend tha

46、t beginners do the same.1、We can learn from Paragraph 2 that a mental athlete _.Aowns a brain that is larger in sizeBshows a gift in mental ability testsCuses the memorizing technique betterDdepends less on the areas that control spatial memory2、Why does the author mention “speed reading” in Paragra

47、ph 3?ATo discuss the memorizing technique in the fifth century.BTo give the reason why people read only a few books carefully.CTo explain the text fourteenth century scholars had to remember.DTo compare the type of reading nowadays with that of earlier times.3、What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A

48、There is a variety of unforgettable scenes.BMemory palaces can be quickly forgotten.CImpressive pictures are in actual buildings.DOne person probably has 57,000 body parts.4、What does the underlined word “cubbyholes” in the last paragraph probably mean?ASmall spaces.BBlacks holes.CTechnical skills.D
