11、me (净收入 ) instead of 6 like Ive been doing for years. He claimed to have acquired a great deal of wealth himself and found it highly beneficial to fueling his path with a heart.As I consider his suggestion, I find myself not having much clarity (清晰的思维) as to what Id do with 1 million or 10 million m
12、ore money flowing through my life. I put so much attention on creativity, fulfillment, exploration, relationships, etc. that I find it difficult to intelligently imagine how more financial resources could provide extra fuel for that, except in small ways or in ways that arent particularly meaningful
13、 to me.Lately Ive been considering what it would be like to deliberately reduce my income for a while and see if I could live on much less, just for the experience. What if I capped my net personal income at $10,000 per year, for instance? That isnt such a big deal to me, though, since I already wen
14、t through a period of low income like that during the 1990s, and I learned that I could still do what I love regardless of income.Ive never worked in a business environment the only job Ive ever had was working for $ 6/hour in a video game store while I was in college. So Ive never seen how larger o
15、perations allocate resources. Thats probably why I havent pushed myself to acquire more. As I mentioned in my book Money and Your Path With a Heart, my main financial goal in life was to make money irrelevant in my life.Im not interested in building an empire. What interests me is exploring personal
16、 growth and sharing what I learn along the way. In some ways I feel that acquiring and allocating more resources could become a big distraction. Im already doing what I want to be doing, so why risk distracting myself to acquire more resources, especially when I lack the idea about how I should trea
17、t such resources? I like having freedom and flexibility, and I dont really see how more resources would meaningfully improve that.21. Why did the man email the author?A. To ask the author to fuel his path. B. To lend some money to the author.C. To share his opinion about wealth. D. To urge the autho

20、t your smartphone addiction, then the new NoPhone might be just the thing you need. Its the perfect smartphone comfort it looks and feels exactly like a smartphone, but it does nothing. Its just a piece of plastic that you can carry around in your hand to fool yourself.NoPhone is currently a prototy
21、pe (模型) that will cost merely $12 once it hits the market. Its makers are trying to raise $30,000 in order to cover production and marketing costs. They describe the device as a “technology-free alternative to constant hand-to-phone contact that allows you to stay connected with the real world”.Dutc
22、h designer Ingmar Larsen, who helped create the NoPhone, said that he regarded the idea as a joke along with his friends Van Gould and Ben Langveld. To their great surprise, the idea received a lot of attention online and people from all over the world started placing requests for NoPhones of their
23、own. So thats when the three friends decided to turn to Kickstarter to fund for mass production.The NoPhone is 5.5 inches high, 2.6 inches wide and 0.29 inches thick, bringing it quite close to the latest smartphone on the market. The Kickstarter slogan is quite amusing to read. Theyve mentioned thi
24、ngs like “battery free”, “no upgrades necessary”, and “waterproof”. Their FAQs address the most important question: “Is this a joke?”, to which their answer is, “No.”“Phone addiction is real,” they insist. “And its everywhere. Its ruining your dates. Its distracting you at concerts. Its disrupting y
25、ou in cinemas. Now, there is a real solution.” “With a thin, light and completely wireless design, the NoPhone acts as a substitute to any smart mobile device, enabling you to always have a rectangle of smooth, cold plastic to hold without giving up any potential engagement with your direct environm
26、ent. Never again experience the unsettling feeling when closing your hand.”If yourre interested in NoPhone, but concerned about not being able to take selfies(自拍) anymore, dont worry. The makers do have an upgrade at no extra charge the mirror sticker. That way, they say, you can enjoy “real-time” s
27、elfies with your friends when theyre standing right behind you.25. From the second paragraph, we can infer that .A. NoPhone is a little more expensive than an ordinary smartphoneB. the makers want to raise money to improve their technologyC. NoPhone has not been on the market at presentD. the users

The general introduction of the most popular smartphones in the world.D. A will-be popular phone-shaped device which can cu
30、re smartphone addiction.C For years, there has been a prejudice against science among clinical psychologists (临床心理学家 ). In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists charge that many clinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments w
31、hich are given the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to their personal experiences than to science.” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by science.” Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment. “The discon
32、nect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.”The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective
33、treatments. Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatmentsthe to
34、ols of psychologybring more lasting benefits than drugs.You wouldnt know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist. Although many treatments are effective, relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.Why in the world not? For one thing, says Baker from the University of Wi
35、sconsin, clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”. Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists remember these successes, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatm
36、ent.”When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. A 2008 study of 591 psychologists in private practice(诊所) found that they rely more on their own and colleagues experience than on sci
37、ence when deciding how to treat a patient. If they keep on this path despite the fact that insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.”28. Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because_.A. they are unfamili
38、ar with their patients B. they believe in science and evidenceC. they rely on their personal experiences D. they depend on their colleagues help629. The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to _.A. the cruel judgment by Walter MischelB. the great progress that has been made in p
39、sychological researchC. the fact that most patients get better after being treatedD. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments30. How do clinical psychologists respond when charged that their treatments are not supported by science?A. They feel embarrassed. B. The
40、y doubt their treatments.C. They are disappointed. D. They try to defend themselves.31. According to the passage, what is Mischels attitude towards psychology?A. Negative. B. Neutral. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.D Public transport is declining in the rich world. To those who have to squeeze onto the
41、 number 25 bus in London, or the A train in New York, the change might not be noticeable. But public transport is becoming less busy in those places, and passenger numbers are flat or falling in almost every American city. That is despite healthy growth in urban populations and employment.Although t
42、ransport agencies blame their unpopularity on things like roadworks and broken signals, it seems more likely that they are being outcompeted. App-based taxi services like Uber and Lyft are more comfortable and convenient than trains or buses. Cycling is nicer than it was, and rental bikes are more w
43、idely available. Cars are cheap to buy, thanks to cut-rate loans, and ever cheaper to run. Online shopping, home working and office-sharing mean more people can avoid travelling altogether.The competition is only likely to grow. More than one laboratory is developing new transport technologies and a
44、pplications. Silicon Valley invented Uber and, more recently, apps that let people rent electric scooters(滑板车) and then abandon them on the pavement. China created sharing-bicycles and battery-powered “e-bikes”, both of which are spreading.Transport agencies should accept the upstarts, and copy them
45、. Cities tend either to ignore app-based services or to try to push them off the streets. That is understandable, given the rules-are-for-losers attitude of firms like Uber. But it is an error.It is doubtful that most people make hard distinctions between public and private transport. They just want
46、 to get somewhere, and there is a cost in time, money and comfort. An ideal system would let them move across a city for a single payment, transferring from trains to taxis to bicycles as needed. Building a platform to allow that is hard, and requires much sweet-talking of traditional networks as we
47、ll as technology firms. It is probably the secret to keeping cities moving.32. What is the change in public transport in big cities?7A. It is becoming busier.B. It is getting less popular.C. There are fewer traffic delays.D. There is more new transport.33. In the authors opinion, the reason for the
48、decline of public transport is that _.A. there are roadworks and broken signalsB. people are becoming healthier and employedC. cars and bikes are more and more availableD. transport agencies are seemingly less competitive34. How does the author develop his idea in Paragraph 3?A. By giving examples B
49、. By providing research resultsC. By stating arguments D. By comparing different approaches35. According to the text, the key to keeping cities moving is _.A. to develop an ideal system that satisfies everyoneB. to build a platform that appeals to public transportC. to provide people with more means of transportationD. to cater for both traditional networks and technology firms 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
