Finding better ways to bring light to the poor is the goal of researchers like Professor Irvine. In the late 1990s, he was work
26、ing in Nepal when his return flight was canceled. A delay gave him time to take a fourteen-day hiking trip in the Himalayas. One day he looked in the window of a school and noticed how dark it was. This is a common problem for millions of children around the world. Many families use kerosene oil (煤油
27、 ) lamps. There are many problems with these lamps. They produce only a small amount of light. They are dangerous to breathe. And they are a big fire danger, causing many injuries and deaths each year. Kerosene costs less than other forms of lighting, but it is still costly in poor countries. Profes
28、sor Irvine says many people spend over 100 dollars a year on the fuel. When he returned to Canada, he began researching ways to provide safe and clean lighting. He began experimenting with light-emitting diodes (发光二极管 ), LEDs, at his lab. As a professor of renewable energy, he already knew about the
29、 technology. Light-emitting diodes are small glass lamps that use much less electricity than traditional bulbs (灯泡 ) and last much longer. He used a one-watt bright white LED made in Japan. He found it on the Internet and connected it to a bicycle-powered generator (发电机 ). He remembers thinking it w
30、as so bright that a child could read by the light of a single diode. In 2000, after much research and many experiments, he returned to Nepal to put the systems into homes. Now the homes of 25,000 people in 51 countries have been equipped with it. “The one-time cost of our system which basically live
31、s forever, as well as the solar panel is less than one hundred dollars. So, one year of kerosene would pay for a solid-state lighting system,” he said. Now his aim is to develop a lower-cost lighting system. In January, Irvine is leaving the University of Calgary. He has also decided to start his ow
32、n company in India. 【小题 1】 We can learn from the second paragraph that kerosene oil lamps _.

35、ps that use much less electricity than traditional bulbs，可推测得知他是想测试二极管在使用更少的电量时能否正常工作。 【小题 1】 C 同样在原文中有直接提到。最后一段倒数第二句话 Irvine is leaving the University of Calgary，可知他辞去了在大学的工作，故选择 C In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery” feeling important and worthwhile and the sources of w
36、hat we call a sense of “pleasure” finding life enjoyable are not always the same Women often are told “You cant have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You choose a career, so you cant expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husban
37、d and children whats all this about wanting a career ” But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves. Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your
38、 life, and low levels of anxiety and depression Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life The two are independent of each o
39、ther A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa（反之亦然） For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time. The concepts of master
40、y and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important And mastery seems to be achieved lar
41、gely through work In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed. A womans well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles marriag
42、es, motherhood, and employment were the highest in well -being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain. 【小题 1】 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _. A for women, a sense of “mastery” is more important than a sense of “pleasure” B for women, a sense of “pleasure” is more important

A it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain B she will be more successful in her career C her chances of getting promoted will be greater D her life will be richer and more meaningful 【小题 4】 Which o
45、f the following can be considered as a source of “pleasure” for women A Family life B Multiple roles in society C Regular employment D Freedom from anxiety 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 D 文章第一段最后一句话有直接提到答案： women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being，说明掌控和舒适对于女性都
46、是很重要的，故选择 D 【小题 1】 B 此题考查对作者态度的感知，由倒数第二段的研究结果 all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery可以得知作者对于女性工作采取积极态度，故选择 B 【小题 1】 D 同样在最后一段中有提及女性担任多重角色的意义， A womans well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles，说明这样会让她们的人生更有意义，故选择 D 【小题 1】 A 题目的答案：在文章中可以间接找到，因为 mas
47、tery的来源是工作，与之相对的 pleasure的来源可推知是家庭，故选择 A High-quality customer service is preached(宣扬 ) by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done. Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of retail store, but instead will alert their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers and
48、 anyone who will listen. Store managers are often the last to hear complaints, and often find out only when their regular customers decide to frequent their competitors, according to a study jointly conducted by Verde group and Wharton school. “Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers.” Said Paula Courtney, president of the Verde group. “The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.” On average, every unhappy customer will complain
