3、e card in your group of 4 people, you can access the subway or bus by swiping(刷卡) it 4 times. However, if there are 5 of you, you will need a second card: the Pay-per-ride MetroCard can only be swiped 4 times in a row. The unlimited use payment card: Unlimited Ride MetroCardThe 7-day-unlimited Metro

4、Card is valid(有效的) for 7 straight days. It costs $33. If you use public transport often during your stay, it will quickly become profitable! Thats why its the most commonly used card for tourists. The 30-day-unlimited MetroCard is valid for 30 days. It costs $127. You have unlimited swipes on the su

5、bway and buses for 30 days, and you cant pause it once started. The One-year MetroCard is valid for a whole year, so it is of no interest to tourists. How to use?You have to swipe your MetroCard through the reader and then wait for the display to say “GO”. Unfortunately, this isnt as easy as it soun

6、ds at times. As with many other Metro passes, it can be kind of tricky at first, but if you cant get it working, you are not alone.

8、entz of Beaverton, Oregon, felt her brain go on strike. “I just couldnt get going in the morning,” she says. “Id get depressed and gain 10 pounds every winter and lose them again in the spring.” Then she read about seasonal affective disorder, a form of depression that occurs in fall and winter, and

9、 she saw the light literally. Every morning now she turns on a specially constructed light box for half an hour and sits in front of it to trick her brain into thinking its still enjoying those long summer days. It seems to work.Krentz is not alone. Scientists estimate that 10 million Americans suff

10、er from seasonal depression and 25 million more develop milder versions. But theres never been definitive proof that treatment with very bright lights makes a difference. After all, its hard to do a double-blind test when the subjects can see for themselves whether or not the light is on. Thats why

11、nobody has ever separated the real effects of light therapy from placebo (安慰剂) effects.Until now, in three separate studies published last month, researchers report not only that light therapy works better than a placebo but that treatment is usually more effective in the early morning than in the e

12、vening. In two of the groups, the placebo problem was resolved by telling patients they were comparing light boxes to a new anti-depressant device that gives off negatively charged ions (离子). The third used the timing of light therapy as the control.Why does light therapy work? No one really knows.

13、“Our research suggests it has something to do with shifting the bodys internal clock,” says psychiatrist Dr. Lewey. The body is programmed to start the day with sunrise, he explains, and this gets later as the days get shorter. But why such subtle shifts make some people depressed and not others is

14、a mystery.That hasnt stopped thousands of winter depressives from trying to heal themselves. Light boxes for that purpose are available without a doctors prescription. That bothers psychologist Michael Terman of Columbia University. He is worried that the boxes may be tried by patients who suffer fr

15、om mental illness that cant be treated with light. Terman has developed a questionnaire to help determine whether expert care is needed.In any event, you should choose a reputable manufacturer. Whatever product you use should give off only visible light, because ultraviolet light damages the eyes. I

16、f you are photosensitive (对光敏感的), you may develop a rash. Otherwise, the main drawback is having to sit in front of the light for 30 to 60 minutes in the morning. Thats an inconvenience many winter depressives can live with.4What is the probable cause of Krentzs problem?AAn unexpected gain in body w

17、eight.BUnexplained impairment of her nervous system.CWeakening of her eyesight with the setting in of winter.DPoor adjustment of her body clock to seasonal changes.5What is the CURRENT view concerning the treatment of seasonal depression with bright lights?AThere is definitive proof of its effect.BI

18、t serves as a kind of placebo.CIt is considered as a relatively effective therapy.DIt hardly produces any effects.6What is psychologist Michael Termans major concern?AWinter depressives will be addicted to using light boxes.BNo mental patients would bother to consult psychiatrists.CInferior light bo

20、t of light therapy.DLight boxes can be programmed to correspond to shifts in the body clock.What if you could give your children everything they wanted without them having to take any effort at all to get it？Wouldthey appreciate what they now have？Would they know how to even maintain the lifestyle o

21、r how to keep the business moving forward and not downward?There is some debate among parents of this new generation about the question of whether our children have been given so much that they now expect everything all at once. A case in point is a friend of mine who has a son in his late twenties.

22、 It is not that he doesnt have a good paying job and a really nice house. Actually his house is a lot better and bigger than I ever had at his age. But, he is not satisfied with what he has；he wants everything else right now, not tomorrow, but right now.What he wants is a bigger house, a fancier car

23、, and all the newest gadgets(小玩意) that come on the market. He never thinks he should work a little longer and save his money or that he shouldnt have it all. Maybe we have spoiled our children to expect more than what they should normally expect and then expect all of these worldly possessions to ke

24、ep coming their way.Now, the situation with my friends son is one where his son calls him and complains that life is difficult and that he is having a hard time getting what he wants. The discussion usually then turns to waiting a little longer and working to save money but this discussion usually e

25、nds with his son still being disappointed with his life.Each life must come from work, sacrifice and satisfaction of being able to provide for your family, but there is little room for just wanting when waiting, working and patience could get it done.All of us need a bit of hardship, struggle, learn

26、ing to overcome obstacles, understanding perseverance, and developing an attitude that speaks loudly about accepting responsibility for ones own destiny.8The writing method of the passage is _ .Alisting factsBgiving an exampleCexplaining reasonsDmaking comparisons9When given so much by his parents,

27、the boy may _.Alive a happier lifeBlearn to be independentCnever be satisfied with itDbe grateful for his parents10The fourth paragraph mainly shows us _.Athe result of parents spoiling their childrenBthe way for parents to prepare for a better lifeCthe advice for parents on how to raise their child

28、renDthe solution for parents to solving their family issues11What can we know from the last paragraph?AWhat our life offers us.BWhat we should do for our family.CHow we should gain what we desire.DHow we should prepare for our destiny.In mammals,loud calls usually serve as alarm signals that warn fe

29、llow species of an enemy or other danger. On the other hand, screams from humans can have very different meanings, as Swiss researchers now report in the journal “PLoS Biology”. Humans screams are not always only associated with negative emotions such as fear, pain, anger and grief, but also positiv

30、e emotions such as joy and pleasure.Sascha Frhholz and his colleagues from the University of Zurich studied how many types of human screams there are, how accurately test subjects can distinguish them, and which brain regions are involved in processing such sound signals. To do this,they first made

31、sound recordings of different screams. Twelve men and women were to put themselves in situations where they reacted with a brief scream. The predetermined situations included, for example: an attack by an armed stranger,celebration about a sporting victory of their favorite team, the threat of an op

32、ponent(对手).From the recordings, the researchers finally selected 420 screams. From this, they identified six distinct categories of screams, including three of alarming characters (cries of pain, anger, and fear) and three non-alarming screams (as expressions of great pleasure, extreme joy, and desp

33、erate sadness). Contrary to all expectations, the subjects reacted to non-alarming screams more quickly and recognized the emotion expressed with it more reliably than with alarming screams. This was also confirmed by images of the brain using functional magnetic resonance imaging(FMRI).Until now, r

34、esearchers assumed that humans also detect and process perceived alarm signals particularly quickly in the form of screams, as this is an important survival mechanism(生存机制), says Frhholz. But unlike monkeys and other mammals, non-alarming screams would have become more important for communication. “

35、This changed priority is probably due to needs that have evolved in the evolution of complex human social relationships.”12What does the text mainly talk about?AHumans expressions.BA research on screams.CA survival mechanism.DMammals alarm signals.13Which expression can be reacted to more quickly?AC

36、ries of pain.BAnger.CFear.DDesperate sadness.14What does “This changed priority” in the last paragraph refer to?AAll-mammals are more sensitive to alarming screams.。BAll humans survive owing to quicker reaction to screams.CNon-alarming screams are more useful for human communication.DAlarming scream

Stop doing the following things. Ignoring Your Childs FeelingsYoure implyi

38、ng that your childrens feelings are wrong, when you say “Dont worry about it. Its not a big deal.” _16_ And the key to living their best, life is about managing emotions. A healthier message is to say “I know you feel scared right now, but I also know youre strong enough to face your fears.”_17_Its

39、easy to give in when your children are losing their tempers. But each time you give them what they want, you teach your children that their unacceptable acts are an effective way to get their needs met. If you want to, raise mentally strong kids, stick to your limits.Spoiling Your Children_18_ But t

40、heres a lot of research that shows just how unhealthy over protection is for kids. If they always get everything they want, they miss out on learning valuable life skills like self-discipline. _19_. Let them know what its like to experience disappointment, and teach them how to work for things they

41、want to have. Expecting PerfectionWhile high expectations are good for kids, setting the bar too high is likely to backfire. Whether you expect too much from your child on the sports field, or your academic expectations are unreasonable, kids who feel they cant succeed are likely to stop trying. _20
