2、een studying over 1，000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die.

31、ng; she was proud of the fact.She is not alone.Why are typically rational people so irrational in their behavior?

32、 wondering why we were so irrationally animated in the first place.The thing we are overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all, having it all, achieving it all.8This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends: smart phones, social media, and extreme consumerism.The result
33、is not just information overload, but opinion overload.We are more aware than at any time in history of what everyone else is doing and，therefore, what we should be doing.In the process, we have been sold a bill of goods: that success means being supermen and superwomen who can get it all done.Of co

42、的) strategy. Now some researchers are trying to figure out how to get robots to do it, by looking at the behavior of squirrels and birds.At Georgia Tech, a team led by Ronald Arkin, a professor at the School of Interactive Computing, studied the literature on squirrels hiding their acorns (橡果). Squi
43、rrels will hide their food in a certain place, but when they see other squirrels trying to steal from them, they attempt to fool the thieves by running to a false location.Ronald Arkin and his Ph. D. student Jaeeun Shim used that as a model for robot behavior. They programmed the robot into tricking
44、 a “predator (捕食者)” machine by doing what a squirrel does: showing the enemy a false location for an important resource.The team also looked at how other animalsin this case, a species of bird called Arabian babblerdrive off predators. A babbler will make an alarm call when they see a predator and o
45、ther babblers will join the bird and make more calls. They then surround the predator, all the while flapping (拍打) wings and making noises. The babblers dont ever actually fight the animal they want to drive off; they just make enough noises and flaps around enough so that it seems that attacking a
46、babbler isnt worth it.11They found that the deception works when the group reaches a certain sizeessentially, when enough birds arrive to convince the enemy that its best to back off. Davis modeled that behavior in software using a military scene and found that it worked even if the group didnt have
47、 the firepower to confront the enemy directly.The military is interested in this because a robot that can fool an opponent is a valuable tool. It could lead an enemy down a false trail or make itself look more dangerous than it actually is.文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了骗术在军事策略中起着重要的作用，一些研究人员正在通过研究松鼠和鸟类的活动，希望
48、机器人能模仿这些行为，以便能有效地应用于军事中。1Why does the military want to take advantage of squirrels trick?AIt can reduce the use of firepower to confront the enemy.BIt can fool the enemy into believing it is more dangerous.CIt can lead the enemy in a wrong direction to avoid losing resources.DIt can scare the enemy
49、away who wants to destroy the acorns.答案：C 推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句“. they attempt to fool the thieves by running to a false location.”可知，松鼠为了保护自己的橡果不被其他松鼠吃掉，会朝别的方向奔跑，由此可推知，C 项正确。2Which of the following is NOT the way Arabian babblers drive off predators?AOne bird makes an alarm call and other birds will join it.BThey fight the enemy bravely face to face.CThey make noises and flaps around the predator.DThey force the
