18、quare brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 20 Five or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely o

19、n one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we cant see what we cant see, our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only

20、of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting. Everyone except me. Im dyslexic(有阅读障碍的 ), and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldnt be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. My curiosi

21、ty was aroused, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla(大猩猩 )came in among the players. She(we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit)stared at the camera, thumped her chest, and then strode away while they continued passing the balls. When the tape stopped, the philos

22、opher asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those whod scored the perfect 15. Then he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?“ I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person

23、 at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. Hed set us up, trapping us in our own attention blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasnt the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst. 21 This

24、passage describes_. （ A） a basketball match （ B） an experiment （ C） a philosopher （ D） a gorilla 22 “Attention blindness“ refers to_ （ A） the fact that one cant see what one cant see （ B） seeing one thing while missing all else （ C） keeping track of just about everything （ D） the condition of being

25、blind to details 23 “Catch us in the act“(Para. 1)is closest in meaning to “find us_.“ （ A） doing something improper （ B） sleeping during the lecture （ C） counting the basketball tosses （ D） failing to notice something within sight 24 How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video? （ A） 1

27、sed to Taylor Swift, a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls. “Dear Taylor,“ read one discarded message, “I love you so much! Youre the best! And youre really beautiful and cute! ! Im really enjoying your songs.“ This, along with hundreds of other similar letters sent from around the w

28、orld, was discovered in a Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman. Swifts management was quick to reassure her admirers that they had been thrown out accidentally. The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagines, as they compose their letters, that Swift makes time t

29、o view each one personally. Dealing with piles of fan mail is, however, an administrative burden for most celebrities. While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not have time. But the fate of their correspondence is something most committed fans will

30、not wish to dwell on, says Lynn Zubernis, an expert in the psychology of fandom at West Chester University. “Theres this little bit of every fan that thinks theirs will be the one that stands out its not an expectation, but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.“ While the relationship be

31、tween the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former, it stems from a deeply-rooted human need for community and belonging, Zubernis believes. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter of acknowledgement and a photo sent with a reproduced signature can be a powerful expe

32、rience. “People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolising(偶像化 ),“ she says. “They cant ring them up and say, Can we have coffee? Its not about the autograph(签名 ). Its about the moment of connection.“ 26 Which of the following statements is true? （ A） The letters in the bin

36、being related to their stars. （ B） The sense of being similar to their stars. （ C） The time spent with their stars. （ D） The autograph of their stars. 30 Facelift(紧肤术 )followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Singapore? Over the last 10 years, Asias rise on t

37、he medical tourism scene has been quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action. The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with packages and services, Bah International Medical Centre(BIMC)Nusa Dua. BIMC

38、already has an international hospital in Kuta, which opened in 1998. The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental care. Unlike most of the regions hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort(度假村 )than a medical facility. T

39、he 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospitals medical, and dental centers. If youre a celebrity who doesnt want everyone to know youre here for a bit of lipo(吸脂术 ), no worries. Theres a private entrance that lead

40、s to the CosMedic Centre, which offers views of a golf course. BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bah, which provides specific after-care services like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patients. Latest technology and cool interiors are a start, but breaking into

41、 a regional industry that already has some of the worlds top international hospitals will be tough, says Josef Woodman, CEO of U.S. based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders(PBB). “As a newcomer, Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare providers. To compet

42、e, Bali will need to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world. On the positive side, Bali is blessed as one of the regions safest, most popular tourist destinations, with a built-in potential to attract medical travelers.“ The Indonesian island couldnt

43、 have picked a better time to get into the game, says PBB. “The world population is aging and becoming wealthier at rates that surpass the availability of quality healthcare resources,“ says the companys research. 31 What does “medical tourism“(Para. 1)probably mean? （ A） Treating a disease during a

44、 trip. （ B） Attracting patients with package tours. （ C） Cosmetic treatment and a tour one. （ D） Turning hospitals into tourist attractions. 32 How does BIMC differ from regular hospitals? （ A） It offers cosmetic surgery. （ B） It has better environment and services. （ C） It accepts international pat

47、uality medical care. （ D） The world population is becoming older and richer. 35 For many of us, asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that the world would not have known about, had we not asked for help. Ironically, its been my experience that people w

48、ho are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility(谦卑 )to ask for help, they earn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn, we are strengthened by t

49、he very help that is provided. One of my clients(well call her Kira)recently made a shift in how she was interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often felt that her presentations were lacking. When she to
