12、 GoThe best time to visit London overall is in spring, when the temperatures have warmed up, the sun has started to shine and Londons gardens and parks are looking their best. However, the reality is that the best time to travel to London depends a lot on what youre looking for. If youre all about t

13、aking a look inside Queen Lizs palace, youd better make it in summer, while winter is beautiful and festive for those looking to get their fill of Christmas markets and traditional cheer.Things to KnowLondoners, and English people in general, have a much different manner of interacting with one anot

14、her than Americans do-while an American might think nothing of smiling at a stranger they pass on the sidewalk or asking about work in the first few minutes of a conversation, Londoners might consider it impolite or strange. Dont mistake this for unfriendliness； its just a cultural difference. Inste

15、ad, talk about things like movies, TV shows, books, your travels, and the like, instead of work or family.How to Get AroundGetting around London is unbelievably easy thanks to the well-maintained and extensive Underground. The Underground, unlike American transportation systems which often pay per r

16、ide or pay per length of trip, is paid in zones. Fare also varies based on time of day and the method you use to pay. Its worth getting an Oyster card to make your life that much simpler.21.

18、al incomes.BWhile Disney animations are successful in moving their audiences, their subsidiary（子公司）Pixar is expert at creating tear-jerking movies as well.At first sight, it is remarkable that these movies make us crythe main characters are cartoon characters, in most cases not even human beings, wh

19、o do things that could evidently never happen in the real world: toys come to life, monsters are to scare sleeping children, and helium-balloon-powered houses travel the world. How can a story so unrealistic make us care so much about their animated main characters?The Pixar creators explained that

20、their stories often reflect their own personal lives. Whereas the animated characters are far from real, their lives are relatable. The magical ingredient is the realistic portrayal of the complex emotional lives of the characters.As Pixar director Pete Doctor explains: “What youre trying to do, whe

21、n you tell a story, is to write about an event in your life that made you feel a particular way. And what youre trying to do, when you tell a story, is to get the audience to have that same feeling. While this is true for storytelling in general, it is especially important in Pixar movies, given tha

22、t the basic plots of their movies cannot happen in real life.”What makes Pixars highly unrealistic stories believable is the fact that they address problems that are central to our own lives. Pixar addresses real human matters such as family, friendship, death, loss, and the highly realistic emotion

23、s that such events evoke in our life.The effect of the story thus depends on the human capacity to empathize with others: to recognize which emotions others experience, and to understand why others feel how they feel. The fact that empathy is learned and developed through life may well be the reason

24、 why these movies are entertaining for kids but rather devastating and heart-crushing for adults.Every Pixar movie has the moment when we cry.

28、Why Are Human Easily Attracted by Movies?D. What Makes Disney Pixar Movies Successful?CIts time to reevaluate how women handle conflict at work. Being overworked or over-committed at home and on the job will not get you where you want to be in life. It will only slow you down and hinder your career

29、goals.Did you know women are more likely than men to feel exhausted? Nearly twice as many women than men aged 1844 reported feeling “very tired” or “exhausted”, according to a recent study.This may not be surprising given that this is the age range when women have children. Its also the age range wh

30、en many women are trying to balance careers and home. One reason women may feel exhausted is that they have a hard time saying “no”. Women want to be able to do it allvolunteer for school parties or cook delicious mealsand so their answer to any request is often “Yes I can.”Women struggle to say “no

31、” in the workplace for similar reasons, including the desire to be liked by their colleagues. Unfortunately, this inability to say “no” may be hurting womens heath as well as their career.At the workplace, men use conflict as a way to position themselves, while women often avoid conflict or strive t

32、o be the peacemaker, because they dont want to be viewed as aggressive or disruptive at work. For example, theres a problem that needs to be addressed immediately, resulting in a dispute over who should be the one to fix it. Men are more likely to face that dispute from the perspective of what benef

33、its them most, whereas women may approach the same dispute from the perspective of whats the easiest and quickest way to resolve the problemeven if that means doing the boring work themselves.This difference in handling conflict could be the deciding factor on who gets promoted to a leadership posit

34、ion and who does not. Leaders have to be able to assign and manage resources wiselyincluding staff expertise. Shouldering more of the workload may not earn you that promotion. Instead, it may highlight your inability to assign effectively.28. What does the underlined word “hinder” in Paragraph 1 mea

38、 nature is largely beneficial for mental health and the brain. A central brain region, the amygdala (大脑杏仁核) involved in stress processing, has been shown to be less activated during stress in people living in rural areas, compared to those who live in cities, hinting at the potential benefits of nat

39、ure. “But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be resolved, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions,” says Sonja Sudimac.To achieve causal evidence, the researchers from the group examined brain

40、activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin. The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature elicits beneficia

41、l effects on brain regions related to stress.“The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature and brain health, but this is the first study to prove the causal link. Interestingly, the brain activity after the urban walk in these regions remained stable and showed no

42、increases, which argues against a commonly held view that urban exposure causes additional stress,” explains Simone Khn, head of the group.The authors show that nature has a positive impact on brain regions involved in stress processing and that it can already be observed after a one-hour walk. This

43、 contributes to the understanding of how our physical living environment affects brain and mental health. Even a short exposure to nature decreases amygdala activity, suggesting that a walk in nature could serve as a preventive measure against developing mental health problems and reducing the poten

44、tially disadvantageous impact of the city on the brain.In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populations and age groups, the researchers are currently working on a study examining how a one-hour walk in natural versus urban environments impacts stress in mothers and their

45、 babies.32. What does the hen-and-egg problem mean by Sonja Sudimac?A. Living in rural areas actually affects brain activity.B. People in cities tend to have a higher risk of mental problems.C.
