2．I was in my early 30s，seeking a creative outlet unrelated to boring housework and raising little kids.At 65 George had recently retired and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years.For both of us，painting was "it" and we met at a local painting class.Thus began a friendship that was to last for 25 years - until the day he died.
George took to painting with an awe-inspiring （令人驚嘆的） level of passion and commitment，even changing the spare bedroom of his home into a studio.How I envied him，as in my own home and I had neither the space nor the the funds for such a luxury.His painting equipment was comprehensive.George housed many of these items in a tool box- a red metal tool box.For about six years George and I studied together through various units until the completion of the course.
Fast-forward some years and George was now about 80 years old.One day，he rang and told me that he was giving up painting and giving away all his "stuff". "I can't paint，Bev.I don't know why I ever thought I could，" he declared.Actually，he was mistaken about his painting ability because he had turned out some unique and wonderful works.However，George had decided he was through with painting，and no amount of talking could persuade him otherwise.And so that was why George left all his painting equipment to me.You have the best talent and are most likely to use it，" he said.After considerable persuasion，I accepted this precious gift on condition that he could get it back at any time.He never did，of course.
I still use much of his equipment today.As I paint，I often remember George，his big personality，generous spirit and unfailing encouragement.The most treasured item is the red tool box，still in good shape.The original shop sticker is till firmly in place although the price has long since worn off.But that's all right because to my mind some things，like friendship，are beyond price.

D．A chance to make fortune.
（2）What can we infer form paragraph 3？
A．George once created some fine paintings.
B．George didn't like his painting equipment.
C．George always wanted to give painting.
D．George misunderstood the author's painting ability.
（3）Why did George call the author？

C．To ask the author a favor.
D．To make an explanation.

3．It isn't just the beauty of vast natural wonders like the Grand Canyon that can take your breath away.You can find awe in everyday things.A new research，published in the journal Emotion，found that older adults who took ""awe walks" felt more positive emotions in their daily lives.
In the study，52 older adults aged 60 to 90 were divided randomly into two groups.They were told to take at least one 15-minute walk each week for eight weeks.Volunteers in the"awe group"were instructed in how to inspire awe as they walked. "We asked them to try to see the world with fresh eyes—to take in new details of a leaf or flower，for example，"Sturm says.For example，one participant from the awe group wrote about"the beautiful fall colors and how the leaves were no longer crunchy（嘎吱響）underfoot because of the rain"—the wonder that small children feel as they embrace their expanding world.However，people in the other group were less focused on the world around them.One participant wrote，"I thought about our vacation in Hawaii next Thursday."
In addition，participants were asked to take selfies（自拍） in the beginning，middle，and end of each walk.Researchers found that participants who took awe walks showed a "small self"，in that they filled less of their photographs with their own image and more with the background scenery. "When we feel awe，our attention shifts from focusing on ourselves to focusing on the world around us， "Sturm says." Awe affects our social relationships because it helps us to feel more connected with the world，universe，and other people."Their smiles also grew broader by the end of the study. "We analyzed the intensity of their smiles in the selfies，and participants who took awe walks displayed greater smiles over time than those who took control walks.The former reported greater positive emotions in general，including more joy and gratitude."
Participants in the control group took more frequent walks than those people in the awe group，the researchers discovered.But walking more didn't result in positive changes in emotional health or in the way their selfies were taken.This suggests that the results were mainly due to experiencing awe，and not just in spending time exercising.
（1）What were participants in the "awe group" required to do in Paragraph 2？
A．To take a walk each week.
B．To focus on their inner world.
C．To collect leaves after the rain.
D．To explore with childlike curiosity.
（2）What can we see in the selfies from the awe walks？
A．Close-up images with wide smiles.
B．More attention on themselves.
C．Simply the background scenery.
D．Small figures with bigger smiles.
（3）What can we know from the last paragraph？
A．Experiencing awe counts.
B．More walks，more joy.
C．Exercises can benefit us.
D．Awe comes with walking.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title？
A．Awe Walks Promote Your Physical Fitness
B．Experiencing Awe Does Wonders for Everyone
C．Awe Walks Improve Your Positive Emotions
D．Frequent Walks Contribute to Emotional Health組卷：27引用：11難度：0.5 -
4．Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev say that the popular dieting strategy of serving food on smaller plates does not necessarily trick us into eating less.
"Plate size doesn't matter as much as we think it does，" says Dr.Tzvi Ganel，head of the study in a media release. "Even if you're hungry and haven't eaten，or are trying to cut back on portions （份），a serving looks similar whether it fills a smaller plate or is surrounded by empty space on a larger one."
Some dieters may try eating off of smaller plates，hoping that they will feel full because the serving size appears larger on the smaller plate.This strategy is based on the classic Delbouef illusion （錯(cuò)覺），which found that people seeing a black circle inside a larger circle perceived the circle to be smaller than when the same sized black circle was placed inside a smaller circle.
Researchers determined that hunger seems to help with visual perception of food portions.In the experiment，participants who had eaten recently had a difficult time estimating pizza portions that were placed on larger versus smaller trays.But participants who had not eaten for at least three hours were better able to estimate portion sizes correctly.
The authors remind that their results only applied to food sizes.Both groups of participants performed about the same when asked to compare sizes of black circles and hubcaps （輪轂） placed inside different sized circles.Study authors say the results suggest that hunger strengthens our ability to analyze and process what we are seeing.
"Over the last decade，restaurants and other food businesses have been using progressively smaller dishes to adapt to the perceptual bias （偏差） that it will reduce food consumption，" says Ganel. "This study debunks that view.When people are hungry，especially when dieting，they are less likely to be fooled by the plate size，more likely to realize they are eating less and more ready to overeating later."
So don't kid yourself.Put away the Barbie plates and give it three hours.Then grab that giant plate and dig in.Your eyes will choose the right size.
（1）Why do some dieters switch to smaller dishes？
A．To seek an elegant lifestyle.
B．To measure the serving size.
C．To have the impression of being full.
D．To see whether Delbouef illusion is true.
（2）What helps to judge food sizes accurately？
A．The black color.
B．The size of circles.
C．The strong need for food.
D．The delicious taste of food.
（3）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "debunks" in paragraph 6？
A．Disapproves.
B．Confirms.
C．Reflects.
D．Discovers.
（4）What does the text mainly tell us？
A．Dieting requires smaller plates.
B．Your dinner plate affects your weight.
C．Eating less is a popular dieting practice.
D．Smaller plates won't lead to less eating.組卷：5引用：4難度：0.5
