阅读理解
Persuasion is to convince someone
to agree with you, just like art which also calls
for special
techniques
to
accomplish.
According
to
the
ancient
Greeks,
there
are
three
basic
tools
of
persuasion: ethos, pathos
and logos.
Ethos is a
speaker's way of convincing the audience that he
is trustworthy, honest and reliable.
One
common
way
a
speaker
can
develop
ethos
is
by
explaining
how
much
experience
or
education he has in the
field. After all, you're more likely to listen to
advice about how to take
care of your
teeth from a dentist than a fireman.
Pathos is a speaker's way of
connecting with an audience's emotions. For
example, a politician
who
is
trying
to
convince
an
audience
to
vote
for
him
might
say
that
he
alone
can
save
the
country from a terrible
war. These words are intended to fill the audience
with fear, thus making
them
want
to
vote
for
him.
Similarly,
an
animal
charity
might
show
an
audience
pictures
of
injured dogs and cats to
make thee viewers feel pity, so they will be more
likely to donate money.
Logos is the use of facts, statistics or other
evidence to support your argument. An audience
will believe you if you have convincing
data to back up your claims. Presenting this
evidence is
much more persuasive than
simply saying “believe me”.
Although ethos, pathos and logos all have their
strengths, they are often most effective when
used together. So, the next time you
listen to a speech, watch a commercial or listen
to a friend
try to convince you to lend
him some money, be on the lookout for these
ancient Greek tools of
persuasion.
（
1
）
What is the purpose
of persuasion?
A. To advise somebody to support you.
B. To help someone have special skills.
C. To convince somebody to realize his
aim.
D. To talk someone into
being honest.
（
2<
/p>
）
What is a speaker's way of
convincing the audience to trust him?
A. Pathos.
B. Ethos.
C. Logos.
D. Education.
（
3
）
What do a
politician and an animal charity have in common?
A. Both prevent themselves
from being hurt.
B. Both save
people from terrible wars.
C. Both make the audience support them.
D. Both persuade people to donate
money.

阅读理解
The human brain remembers negative
experiences more easily than positive ones. 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 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
control
—
our genes and our
life circumstances. But our level of happiness is
also shaped by the choices we
make. If
you've been chasing 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
important. 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
as effective as medication in treating
depression.
When we are
so interested in an activity we enjoy that we lose
track of time, we are in a state
of
flow. The activity could be making art, playing
piano, surfing, or playing a game. People who
experience flow in their work or
hobbies tend to be happier.
People
are
more
likely
to
be
happy
if
they
know
what
their
strengths
are
and
use
them
regularly,
People
who
set
goals
and
use
their
strengths
to
achieve
them
tend
to
be
happier.
People are especially happy when they
can use their strengths to serve the greater
good.
People
who
think
positively
by
being
grateful,
mindful
and
optimistic
are
more
likely
to
be
happy. Being grateful
means being thankful, Bejing mindful means being
open to, focusing on and
enjoying
the experiences
of
the
present
moment. Being
optimistic
means
being
hopeful
about
the
future.
（

）
Why
does the human brain remember negative things more
easily?
A.
Negative things are easy to remember.
B. Dangerous wild animals are a threat
to us.
C. Our
ancestors
had
no
enough
food
for
living.
D. Negative
things
tend
to
affect
human
survival immediately.

How
does the author like looking for happiness in
material things?
A. Uncertain. B.
Opposed. C. Supportive.

Castle Dale is a small town in
central Utah. My grandpa's farm is a few miles to
the north. I
grew
up
there.
Milking
a
cow,
feeding
the
chickens
and
cutting
firewood
were
daily
routines.
Grandpa had me
carrying a broom to do snow cleaning when it was
actually taller than I was. This
was
the work kids like me learned to do at a young
age.
I
was
tall,
very
tall
at
a
really
young
age.
My
unusual
height
caused
people
to
look,
ask
questions, laugh, tease, and sometimes
even challenge me to fight. I was teased cruelly
as a kid.
It wasn't fair, I knew, but
that was just the way it was. Luckily, I was
taught at a very young age a
very
important lesson. I am different and that's
Okay
—
I'm unique and I
matter. No one could ever
take that
away from me. I knew this then, and I know this
now. That alone helped me through the
frustrations and heartaches of normal
life.
When I was in
junior high school, I realized something else that
helped me cope. Most teasing
came
from
one
of
two
places
—
people
who
were
either
jealous
or
ignorant
(
愚昧
).
I
couldn't
change
the way they were, but I could change the way I
felt. I was not going to feel bad because
of their ignorance or jealousy. It
wasn't worth it. Realizing this didn't stop them,
or change the
fact that these comments
hurt. It did, however, give me a way to understand
these people and
deal with their
treatment in a way that was okay for
me.
These things still
happen today. It will probably happen the rest of
my life. I will always be 7
feet,
6
inches
(2.29
meters)
tall.
I
wouldn't
change
that
for
anything.
People
will
always
look
because it is not every day that you
see someone that tall. I learned that at a young
age and I
now try to teach my own
children that they are unique and they matter.
That is the message I
give to you.
Regardless of your race, religion, background, or
circumstances ... Being different is
okay.

A Song of Ice and Fire
is a seven-part series of fantasy
written for adults. George R. R. Martin
writes each chapter from the
perspective of a specific character, providing a
limited point of view
for each section.
The reader is able to understand the inner
workings of the individual, but the
reader is barred from a whole
understanding of the text. The world he has
created has magic, but
there is much
more than that. While magic exists, it exists on
the edge, and the inner unrest of
the
characters is much more important.
His
work
also
has
a
level
of
realness
that
is
astonishing
in
a
work
of
fantasy.
Characters
are
imperfect, and many make questionable
moral choices. In the end, however, Martin shows
that
both good and bad happen to both
the people of high moral standard and the corrupt.
He has
made it clear that any character
can die at any point, which has led to a lot of
heartbreak from
readers.
In 2011,
A Song of Ice
and Fire
became a television series
titled
Game of Thrones
.
Martin has
been
closely
involved
with the
production.
It
has
currently
run
for
seven
seasons, and
viewers
anxiously await the eighth season to
answer their questions from the season seven
finale.
His fans are
also waiting for
The Winds of Winter
and A Dream of Spring,
the next books
in the
series, to answer the questions
Martin and the television show have not yet
addressed. Martin,
however, has no
plans to rush. He has made it clear that he will
continue to write the books while
working on the television show and
writing other novels.
But how will the story continue? What is going to
happen in Westeros, and more importantly:
when are we going to find out? Martinis
skill as a writer has kept readers and viewers
spellbound.
Many hope he will finish
the next book before the next season of the show
begins, but no one
knows with Martin.
He always keeps his readers guessing.

One
of the characteristics of

Do you have good
friends? Do you sometimes feel so close to them
that they are like family to
you?
It turns
out that this isn't just an expression. A study by
Yale University and the University of
California,
San
Diego,
has
found
that
you
and
your
friends
have
more
genes
in
common
than
strangers do, the Guardian
reported.
Researchers
looked
at
the
genes
of
1,932
people
and
compared
them
in
pairs
of
unrelated
friends and
strangers. They found that friends have 1 percent
of genes that match.

), but to geneticists
(
遗传学家
) it
is a
significant number,
fact, this is the
same amount of genes you share with your fourth
cousins, those who have the
same great-
great-great grandparents as you.
So is it a coincidence that you
become friends with people who share your genes?
Not at all. In
fact, it is evolution
that brings you together.
People who share certain genes also share skills
and have similar likes and dislikes, researchers
said. In ancient times, it was critical
that people who were alike stayed together. For
example,
people who had a similar
susceptibility (
易感性
) to the
cold were more likely to help each other
build a fire, giving them a better
chance to survive.
Researchers also found that among all the genes
studied, those affecting sense of smell were
the most similar in friends. This is
probably because people who smell things in the
same way are
more easily drawn to
similar environments. For example, people who like
the smell of coffee may
hang
out
at
cafes
more
often
and
are
therefore
more
likely
to
meet
and
become
friends
with
each
other.

on
their
findings,

team

developed
an
interesting
test
called

It
calculates
how
big
the
chances
are
that
two
people will

this test and know in advance who your

there was a childless 45-year-old woman whose
