Time and time again, we see people feeling overwhelmed because of stress. But after years of being dosed up by doctors and seeking solutions on the self-help shelves, can most common complaints be cured through your next holiday? The festival doctor will see you now.‎ Complaint Prescription (处方)‎ Dosage (剂量)‎ Guilty Restart yourself at the Wanderlust Festival A weekend at any Wanderlust Festival should restrain some of the shame you are feeling.

Intelligent workers may have difficulty concentrating due to the vast number of clever ideas popping into their gifted brains.‎ ‎ Bostjan Ljubic, vice president of Steelcase, a workplace solutions company that analyzed the findings of neuroscientists (神经学家) and cognitive (认知的) researchers, said, “Employers are always on the lookout for the brightest people available. However, the difficulty to undertake multiple tasks and distractions in the office affect smart people in the same way as everyone else, if not more. The smartest people may find it more difficult to decide which ideas to prioritize (区分优先次序) with distraction leading to a feeling of inability to deal with the work as a whole. The smartest brains can finally fall short of their own expected potential, as well as failing to live up to their employers’ hopes.”‎ ‎ Nearly half of more than 10,000 workers, surveyed in 17‎ - 15 - / 15‎ ‎ countries, said they struggled to concentrate in the office, according to a health study by Steelcase. Increased access to technology has been considered as a possible reason for this lack of focus. Research from GlobalWebIndex says the average time spent on mobile devices has increased by 200 percent since 2012, while the average smartphone user in the UK checks their phone 221 times every day and the average office worker checks their email around 30 times an hour. The University of California suggests that the average office worker is interrupted or distracted every three minutes.‎ ‎ Mr Ljubic said, “The ways in which we work are changing more rapidly than ever before and the brain is being subjected to stresses and distractions which can lead to overload and statistics show that distractions in the workplace are on the rise.”‎ ‎24. The purpose of the text is to tell readers ________.‎ ‎ A. many employers are looking for clever workers B. office workers spend more time on cell phones ‎ C. intelligent workers are more easily distracted D. distractions in the workplace are on the rise ‎25.

Which of the following is true according to the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Distractions can damage office workers’ brain.‎ ‎ B. Office workers are trying to get rid of distractions.‎ ‎ C.

Over 75 disabled motorcyclists have learned to ride again and the concept has started to influence the motorsport world.‎ ‎ In March, 2003, Talan Skeels-Piggins, the founder of the charity, was knocked off his motorcycle and thrown under the path of the oncoming traffic. The accident left him paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the chest down and he thought he would never ride a motorcycle again. Eight years later, Talan was back riding a motorbike on UK track days and felt the importance of teaching others how to do the same. Talan says, “When I am riding, I do not feel disabled. I feel free from my wheelchair, and I enjoy the sense of excitement and independence just as I used to. Getting to this point has been a struggle, but it has been worth it. I wanted to help other disabled motorcyclists have the fantastic feeling of being back on a bike, without the falls and setbacks I suffered, so The Bike Experience Charity was established. ‎ ‎ In addition to getting riders back on two wheels? The Bike Experience Charity aims to：‎ ‎ •Help the individuals who take part develop a positive attitude. Increase each client’s self-confidence and self-belief so that they can look forward to the rest of their life with re-focused energy, motivation and inspiration.‎ ‎ •Advise participants how to buy their own bike, adapt it and ride independently and safely.‎ ‎ •Improve the participant’s physical health, balance, co-ordination, strength and stamina (耐力).‎ ‎ •Bring together able-bodied and disabled people so that boundaries are broken down and myths of disability are deconstructed.‎ ‎ •Evolve attitudes in the motorcycling world so that disabled people’s riding motorcycles can be considered possible, feasible and acceptable.‎ ‎28. The Bike Experience Charity ________.‎ ‎ A. has been raising money for the disabled B. has helped more than 750 disabled people ‎ C. provides special motorcycles for the disabled D. establishes new rules for the motorsport world ‎29. As the founder of the charity, Talan ________.‎ - 15 - / 15‎ ‎ A. has been free from a wheelchair B. was once knocked down by a motorcycle ‎ C. spent eight years establishing the charity D. was unable to walk after the accident ‎30. The charity’s aims suggest the charity ________.‎ ‎ A. constructs the myths of disability B. helps disabled people make a living ‎ C. places importance on physical health D. makes the impossible seem possible ‎31. What is the purpose of the text?‎ ‎ A. To introduce The Bike Experience Charity. ‎ ‎ B. To advise the disabled to ride motorcycles.‎ ‎ C. To encourage the disabled to live independently.‎ ‎ D. To tell us a successful story of a disabled person.‎ D Chicken feathers are useful, and not just to chickens. Some go into pillows, coats and other products. But countless chicken feathers go to waste.‎ ‎ In the United States, billions of chickens are produced yearly. Most of their feathers are thrown away. But instead of ending up in landfills (废物埋填地), some feathers could find a future in plastics.‎ ‎ Scientists in the Washington area have been working with keratin, the main substance (物质) in chicken feathers. One of the products they have developed is a flowerpot which may look like other flowerpots, but the container breaks down in the earth within one to five years. And as it breaks down, it releases nitrogen (氮) into the soil.‎ ‎ The environmentally friendly flowerpot is the work of two researchers Walter Schmidt and Masud Huda. Walter Schmidt has been working to find uses for chicken feathers since the 1990s. Progress in 2002 showed that plastic made from feathers could be formed like other plastics. ‎ ‎ He says feathers are much stronger and last longer than another plant material, cellulose (纤维素). “Feathers are about eight times as strong as cellulose. By design, feathers are strong and durable (耐用的).” ‎ ‎ Walter Schmidt also points out that traditional flowerpots can last much longer. But he wonders if there is really a need. He says most flowerpots are never reused. ‎ ‎ “Why would you want a plastic that you use for a year to last - 15 - / 15‎ ‎ for two hundred years? It makes no sense. You want to match the product with the use,” he says.‎ Walter Schmidt and Masud Huda are now adding another chicken product to their flowerpots — chicken waste. The waste will add more nutrients to the soil as the pot breaks down. The scientists say they hope their flowerpot will be on the market in a year or two.‎ ‎32. What is this passage mainly about?‎ A. Scientists find new uses for chicken feathers. ‎ ‎ B. A new kind of flowerpot will be on the market.‎ ‎ C. Chicken feathers are not only useful to chickens. ‎ ‎ D. Billions of chickens are produced yearly in the US.‎ ‎33. From Paragraph 2 we know that _____.‎ ‎ A. the US produces the most chickens around the world ‎ B. all chicken feathers will be made into plastics in the future ‎ C. most chicken feathers are not made use of in the US at present ‎ ‎ D. chicken feathers will no longer be taken to landfills quite soon ‎34. Which of the following is the main feature of the new flowerpot?‎ A. It is made from waste.‎ B. It looks quite different.‎ C. It can be used for years.‎ D. It is environmentally friendly. ‎ ‎35. Walter Schmidt most probably thinks _____.‎ A. people should re-use the same flowerpot ‎ B. it is unnecessary for a flowerpot to last long C. nowadays most products don’t match their use D. people prefer to buy flowerpots which last long 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空格的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Nowadays, it's hard to say exactly why you like someone. Scientists have spent years trying to discover the exact factors that draw one person to another. Below, we've listed some of their most interesting findings. You can read on for insights(深入了解). 36 ‎ Compliment(称赞) other people People will associate the adjectives you use to describe other - 15 - / 15‎ ‎ people with your personality. This phenomenon is called spontaneous trait transference(自发特征迁移). 37 If you describe someone else as genuine and kind, people will also associate you with those qualities. The reverse(相反) is also true: If you are constantly trashing people behind their backs, your friends will start to associate the negative qualities with you as well.‎ Emphasize（强调）shared value ‎ 38 This is known as the similarity-attraction effect. According to a classic study by Theodore Newcomb, Newcomb measured his subjects' attitudes on some topics which may cause a lot of disagreement in his experiment, such as sex and politics, and then put them in a house to live together. By the end of their stay, the subjects liked their housemates more when they had similar attitudes about the topics measured.‎ Copy their behaviors This strategy（策略）is called mirroring. 39 When talking to someone, try copying their body language, gestures, and facial expressions. In 1999, New York University researchers found that people were more likely to like their partner when their partner had been mimicking (模仿) their behavior.‎ Display a sense of humor Research from California State University found that, regardless of whether people were thinking about their ideal friend or romantic partner, a sense of humor was really important. In fact, the study suggested that participating in a humorous task can increase romantic attraction. 40 It can make the person like you more and leave him a good impression. ‎ A. They will present your current friendships in a new light.‎ B. Use humor when you're first getting to know someone.‎ C. Everyone has something in common with other people.‎ D. It involves subtly mimicking another person's behavior.‎ E. People are more attracted to those who are similar to them.‎ F. Try to learn some basic strategies and skills of communication.‎ G. Whatever you say about other people influences how people see you.‎ 第三部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ A young man applied for a job as a telegraph (电报) operator.

Then the interviewer stepped out and 52__ to the other applicants, “Thank you very much for coming, but the 53 has just been filled.”‎ They were all 54 and one man spoke up, “Wait a minute.

The job is yours. It was the young man 57 you that heard and understood it.”‎ This man conveyed a valuable 58 that most people miss: Wherever you are, be there.
