11、将该项涂黑。 ACleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easytheyre given after all. Choice can be hardI got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year. Id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, a
12、nd the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and Id been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont and I
13、wasnt sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, Id been a garage inventor. Id always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and I had a brilliant boss that
14、I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already hav
15、e a good job. ” That 1ogic made some sense to me，and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light,it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didnt think Id regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would
16、 always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and Im proud of that choice.

19、iversity full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. Thats when I learned about
20、the Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my deci
21、sion to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alo
22、ne. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in n
23、eed of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes thi
24、nk I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse
25、Project had changed my life forever.24. What do we know about the author? A. His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge. B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer. C.

He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students.C Does happiness have a scent? When someone is happy, can you smell it? You can usually
29、tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile, hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug. But can you also smell their happiness? Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be spread through smell, reports P
30、hys.org. For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the
31、 study period. Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the samples, apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more
32、 sensitive to emotional signalingthough its unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents. Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scentsparticularly their facial expressionsindicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat a
33、nd the women who sniffed them. “Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell,” said study co-author Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey. This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness
34、does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others. The study also found that other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too. This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to b
35、e true of positive feelings. Researchers have yet to isolate exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be. Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies(香味疗法) could also be deve
36、loped to help people through depression or anxiety. Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however, is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.
37、28. What is the main finding of the new research? A. Men produce more sweats. B. Negative emotions have a smell. C. Pleasant feelings can be smelt out. D. Women have a better sense of smell.29. The underlined part “abstain from” in Paragraph 3 probably means _. A. avoid B. practice C. continue D. tr

Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases. D. Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.31. We can learn from
39、the last paragraph that _. A. happiness comes from a scent of sweat B. positive emotions can deepen understanding C. people need more emotional communication D. social surroundings can influence our emotions D What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop?
