A

Never before had a Kitchen so much of a

History

It tells of Freedom, Success, and of the

Architecture

of big American

cities.

Because that

is

where

it

started:

in

the

second

half

of

the

19th

century!

Welcome to a new Era of Kitchen Interior Design

Back then, a Generation of successful American

Entrepreneurs

dreamt

of

a

new

style

of

Architecture

to express their personal wealth. This dream was

realized by young architects such as Daniel Burnham and Stanford White. They all had studied

at

the

?

cole

des

Beaux-Arts

in

Paris.

And

they

created

a

new

style

for

Architecture

and

Interior

Design, named after the famous French Art Institute: Beaux-Arts.

SieMatic BeauxArts Breaks and Creates

In fact it was not a new style at all, but a composition of styles from different periods and

cultures. Many world-famous structures such as the Chicago Art Institute and the Statue of

Liberty account for it. But what does that have to do with your kitchen? Just as much as you

want it to. Because in the same way that the anti-conventional architects back then took the

freedom to combine elements from different historical eras, today, you too can break the

conventional rules of style and create something new: your own personal composition of your

kitchen. For that, SieMatic BeauxArts offers unique opportunities: A broad range of seemingly

conflicting features that you combine to a harmonious design of your own. You can choose from

menu

of

various

forms,

appealing

colors,

and

precious

materials,

to

create

an

environment

that

is much more than just a kitchen: a reflection of your personality.

56. Why did the BeauxArts style attract American entrepreneurs?

A. It helped display their money status. B. It was created by famous architects.

C. It was named after a famous institute. D. It represented the 19th century urban

culture.

57. What is unique of SieMatic BeauxArts?

A. Its designs are anti- conventional.

B. Its designs come from famous structures.

C. Its customers can enjoy their own composition.

D. Its customers can choose from various new styles.

B

However wealthy we may be, we can never find enough hours in the day to do everything we

want. Economics deals with this problem through the concept of opportunity cost, which simply

refers to whether someone's time or money could be better spent on something else.

Every

hour

of our

time

has a value. For

every hour

we

work

at one

job we

could quite

easily

be doing another, or be sleeping or watching a film. Each of these options has a different

opportunity cost

—

namely,

what they cost us in missed opportunities

.

Say you intend to watch a football match but the tickets are expensive and it will take

you a couple

of hours to

get

to and

from

the stadium.

Why not, you might reason, watch

the game

from

home

and

use

the

leftover

money

and

time

to

have

dinner

with

friends?

This

—

the

alternative

use of your cash and time

—

is the opportunity cost.

For economists, every decision is made by knowledge of what one must forgo

—

in terms of

money and enjoyment

—

in order to take it up. By knowing precisely what you are receiving and

what you are missing out on, you ought to be able to make better-informed, more reasonable

decisions.

Consider

that

most

famous

economic

rule

of

all:

there's

no

such

thing

as

a

free

lunch.

Even

if

someone

offers

to

take

you

out

to

lunch

for

free,

the

time

you

will

spend

in

the

restaurant

still costs you something in terms of forgone opportunities.

Some

people

find

the

idea

of

opportunity

cost

extremely

discouraging:

imagine

spending

your

entire

life

calculating

whether

your

time

would

be

better

spent

elsewhere

doing

something

more

profitable

or

enjoyable.

Yet,

in

a sense

it's human nature to

do precisely

that

—

we assess the

advantages and disadvantages of decisions all the time.

In the business world, a popular phrase is

go as far as possible. However, another is fast obtaining an advantage:

biggest restriction on our resources is the number of hours we can devote to something, so we

look to maximize the return we get on our investment of time. By reading this passage you are

giving over a bit of your time which could be spent doing other activities, such as sleeping

and eating. In return, however, this passage will

help you to think like an

economist, closely

considering the opportunity cost of each of your decisions.

58. According to the passage, the concept of

A. making more money B. taking more opportunities

C. reducing missed opportunities D. weighing the choice of opportunities

59. The

A. spared for watching the match at home B. taken to have dinner with friends

C. spent on the way to and from the match D. saved from not going to watch the match

60. What are forgone opportunities?

A. Opportunities you forget in decision-making.

B. Opportunities you give up for better ones.

C. Opportunities you miss accidentally.

D. Opportunities you make up for.

C

Most damagingly, anger weakens a person's ability to think clearly and keep control over

his behaviour. The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of

the person or situation that arouses his anger.

Not everyone experiences anger in the same way; what angers one person may amuse another.

The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and

cultural forces. In contemporary culture, physical expressions of anger are generally

considered too socially harmful to be tolerated. We no longer regard duels (|fe4^) as an

appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person's awareness of insulting behaviour

on the part of another.

Anger can be identified in the brain, where the electrical activity changes. Under most

conditions

EEG

(

脑电图

)

measures

of

electrical

activity

show

balanced

activity

between

the

right

and

left

prefrontal

(

额叶前部

)

areas.

Behaviourally

this

corresponds

to

the

general

even-handed

disposition (

意向

) that most of us possess most of the time. But when we are angry the EEG of

the right and left prefrontal areas aren't balanced and, as a result of this, we' re likely

to

react.

And

our

behavioural

response

to

anger

is

different

from

our

response

to

other

emotions,

whether positive or negative.

Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour: we move closer to people

we

like.

Most

negative

emotions,

in

contrast,

are

associated

with

avoidance

behaviour:

we

move

away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious. But anger is an exception

to this pattern. The angrier we are, the more likely we are to move towards the object of our

anger.

This

corresponds

to

what

psychologists

refer

to

as

offensive anger

:

the

angry

person

moves

closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger. This

approach-and- confront

behaviour

is

accompanied

by

a

leftward

prefrontal

asymmetry

(

不对称

)

of

EEG

activity.

Interestingly,

this

asymmetry

lessens

if

the

angry

person

can

experience

empathy

(

同感

) towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response. In defensive anger,

in contrast, the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless

in the face of the anger-inspiring situation.

61. The

A. usually has a biological basis B. varies among people

C. is socially and culturally shaped D. influences one's thinking and evaluation

62. What changes can be found in an angry brain?

A. Balanced electrical activity can be spotted.

B. Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas.

C. Electrical activity corresponds to one's behaviour.

D. Electrical activity agrees with one' s disposition.

63. Which of the following is typical of offensive anger?

A. Approaching the source of anger. B. Trying to control what is disliked.

C. Moving away from what is disliked. D. Feeling helpless in the face of anger.

64. What is the key message of the last paragraph?

A. How anger differs from other emotions.

B. How anger relates to other emotions.

C. Behavioural responses to anger.
