The Bermuda Triangle There is a place in the Atlantic Ocean where ships and airplanes seem to disappear more often than anywhere else on Earth. It seems to form a triangle between Miami, Bermuda, ’and the ocean east of Puerto Rico. This place is called the Bermuda Triangle. Over I00 planes and ships have been lost there since 1945. Over 1,000 people have disappeared. It is almost as if the lost planes had gone into a hole in the sky, as if the ships had been suddenly sucked down into a huge whirlpool. The strangest thing is that nothing is ever found: no bodies in the water or washed up on the beach. The biggest single loss of planes happened in December of 1945. Five Navy planes from Florida were flying together. There were 14 men in them. They radioed back to their base that their flying instruments were not working, they did not know where they were. The base radioed back to them to follow the sun west. They answered that they could not see the sun, even though the weather was good. They also said that the ocean didn’t look as it should. Finally they said they could not hear the base. But the base tower could still hear them talking about strange" white water". The last thing the tower heard was:" Don’t come after us. It looks like..." Then there was silence. In the meantime, 13 men in another plane had been sent to help them. But they sent just one message. It said that they were coming to the place where the planes were lost. Then it also disappeared and was never heard from again. After checking and searching for many months, a Navy officer said, "It’s almost as if they had gone to Mars. " Sometimes a plane or ship will disappear right after sending a message saying that everything is OK. During Christmas of 1963 a DC-3 passenger plane was coming into Miami for a landing. The pilot asked for landing directions. Then he said, "Would you believe it The passengers are still singing Christmas carols!" Then suddenly the plane’s radio went off the air. Neither the plane nor any of the passengers in it were ever heard from again. It is known that pilots of planes often have trouble with their instruments in the Bermuda Triangle. Many people have studied the Triangle to find out what could be causing such things to happen there. In 1965 a Navy plane was sent to study the magnetic field in the Bermuda Triangle. Soon after flying into the area, the plane disappeared. The 10 men in it were gone, too. Instrument trouble alone can’t be the whole answer. Most of the ships and plaices have vanished close to land, in good weather, and often in daytime. Whatever happens seems to happen very quickly. A small boat once disappeared right off Miami harbor. Its owner, Dan Burack, had stopped at Buoy No. 9 to admire the Christmas lights on shore. He suddenly sent a call for help to the Coast Guard. He didn’t say what was wr ong. A Coast Guard boat hurried to Buoy No. 9. On its radio, the men heard Burack say, "I’ve never seen one like that before. " Nobody knows what he meant. By the time the Coast Guard boat got there, Burack’s boat and its passengers had disappeared. Many large ships have vanished, too. One weighed 20,000 tons. Another had more than 300 people on board. The radio on one large ship from Japan sent a very strange last message. It said, "Danger like dagger now. Come quickly! We cannot escape. " After this message, the ship vanished from the sea. Something in the Bermuda Triangle causes flight instruments to go out of order. This might explain how planes get lost and crash. But it would not explain why planes would vanish suddenly in good weather and sometimes when they are coming in for a landing. Some of the ships could have been turned over or destroyed by accidents. Or a small boat could be run into and sunk by a larger one. This is not likely, though. And in any case, something would have been left floating in the sea. Also, many small and large ships have been found drifting without their crew or any sign of where the people may have gone. These empty, drifting ships are still another mystery. In most eases, the ship’s cargo and lifeboats are still in place. But as for the people, it is almost as if they were suddenly taken away into the sea or sky. Sometimes a single animal is left on board. On one ship there was a dog, on another a cat, and on still another a canary in a cage. It almost seems as if something has been taking samples of people. Only once did an animal disappear along with the crew. That was when a parrot as well as the people on board disappeared from a ship which was later found drifting and empty. But where have all the planes, ships, and people gone The United States Navy, the Coast Guard, and many insurance companies have been checking into this matter for many years. They have found no answer. It cannot even be said that anyone on the lost planes and ships has died. No body of anyone who has disappeared has ever been found. Some people think that part of the Bermuda Triangle may be a magnetic field. Some say it is a path to another dimension. That is, they think it may be a road out of our world leading into another world. They point out that more UFO’s have been seen along the south Florida coast and Bahamas than in any other part of the world. They say that perhaps the UFO’s come into our world along this path. Perhaps the people or things in the UFO’s take samples of people, ships, and planes. Perhaps they want to get living people from the earth to study them. Or maybe they are simply watching Earth to see how we get along. Other people think that the UFO’s may come from under the water. They point out that many strange things have been seen in the clear waters of the Triangle. At times something like a small submarine is seen heading directly for a ship. It goes much faster than a submarine. At the last minute, it turns aside. In 1963 one of these things Was tracked for several days. It traveled at speeds up to 150 knots and went as deep as five miles. But there are no submarines that we know of that can go so fast and so deep. Some captains of planes and ships in the Triangle have had narrow escapes and have lived to tell about it. A pilot named Chuck Wake1ey was flying to Florida from the Islands. He noticed that his instruments were "going crazy. " He could not control his plane. Then he saw that the wings were glowing a green-white color. The instruments glowed so brightly he could not look at them. Finally, he seemed to be glowing himself. Then the glow stopped and he could fly his plane again. Some ship captains have also had very narrow escapes. Captain Don Henry was towing another boat over a very deep part of the ocean near the Bahamas. The weather was clear. Suddenly a mist appeared around the boat he was pulling. He started to be pulled backward, in a sort of tug-of-war with a force he couldn’t see. He lost all his electric power. But, using diesel power, he pulled the boat flee from the mist. Later he had to throw 50 flashlight batteries away because all the electricity had been drained from them. Another ship, the "Wild Goose," also in tow, was not so lucky. It suddenly was covered by a mist and pulled under water with five people on board. Only one escaped. He was resting in a cabin when he suddenly found himself 60 feet deep in the water. He escaped through a porthole and swam up to where the tow boat saved him. The men in the boat told him that his ship had vanished in the glowing mist. It looked as if it had been sucked under by a whirlpool. The men had cut their lines so they would not be pulled under too. People have many different ideas about the things that happen in the Bermuda Triangle. Some say that the planes and ships have been caught in an electronic net. Some say that they have been caught and taken away by UFO’s. Others think they have been pulled under the sea by a force field under the water. Still others think they have sailed off into space or into another dimension. Many ships and planes cross the Bermuda Triangle every, day and nothing happens to them. But so many planes, ships, and people have been lost there that this area is thought to be one of the most mysterious places in the world. Perhaps some day, when we have learned more about the world we live in, someone will be able to explain the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.In most case, the ship’s cargo and lifeboats are ______. A. taken away into the sea B. take into the skyC. still in the sea D. still in the place

Be your own life coach! The demand for life coaches has grown in recent years, with many celebrities claiming that their lives have been improved by a few sessions of coaching. So, what does a life coach do, and can they change your life for the better? Life coaches claim to be able to help their clients work towards achieving their goals. Sue Berry, a life coach, says, "As a qualified life coach, I have several different clients now. Basically, I help people to feel better about their life, work and relationships. Many clients come to me feeling very unhappy. By asking them questions and listening carefully to their answers, I help them move forwards and achieve goals that they could never have dreamed of achieving themselves."

Well, I believe that if you want to make real changes in your life, it has to come down to you. Spending hundreds to talk to someone else about your problems will only empty your bank account." What do you think? Would you pay someone to help you get some direction in your life? According to the article, what has made life coaching more popular? A. People have become more ambitious about what they want in life.B. People have more money to spend on things they don't need.C. Famous people have spoken about using life coaches.D.

Being a life coach would be a very rewarding career to have.B. Seeing a life coach can make a real difference to your life.C. You are the only person who can make meaningful changes in your life.D. Visiting a life coach is expensive service, but it's worth it.
We all know that music is a powerful influencer.A movie without a soundtrack doesn't inspire the same emotional journey.A workout without a pump-up can feel very boring.But is there a way to quantify these reactions？ In a new paper，researchers at the University of Southern California mapped out how things like pitch，rhythm，and harmony trigger different types of activity，psychological reactions，and emotions and how machine learning could use those relationships to predict how people might respond to a new piece of music.The results，presented at a conference show how we may one day be able to engineer targeted music experiences for purposes ranging from therapy（医疗） to movies. The research is part of the lab's broader goal to understand how different forms of media，such as films and TV ads as well as music，affect people' s bodies and brains."Once we understand how media can affect your various emotions，then we can try to productively use it for actually supporting or improve human experiences，"says Shrikanth Narayanan，a professor at USC and the chef researcher in the lab. The research first searched music sites like Spotify for songs with very few plays，tagged either"happy"or"sad".Through a series of human tests，6 o pieces for each emotion were narrowed down to a final list of three：two that reliably caused sadness and one that reliably caused happiness.One hundred participants who hadn't heard the songs before split into two groups，listened to all three pieces，and either took an FMRI scan or wore pulse，heat，and eccentricity sensors on their skin and rated their emotions on a scale of 0 to10. The research then fed the data，along with 74 features for each song into several machine-learning algorithms（ 算法） and examined which features were the strongest predictor s of responses.They found，for example，that the brightness of a song and the strength of its beat were both among the best predictors of how a song would affect a listener's hart rate and brain activity. The research is still in very early stages，and it will be a while before more powerful machine-learning models will be able to predict your mental and physical reactions to a song with any precision.But the researchers are excited about how such modes could be applied：to design music for specific individuals，to help patients with mental health challenges stimulate（刺激） specific part of their brain.The lab is already working with addiction treatment clinics to see how other forms of media could help patients. More simply，the research could be use to general playlists." You wouldn't want to listen to a song that's gonna make your heart rate speed up right before bedtime，but maybe you do if your 'r going on a long drive and you haven't had much coffee，"says Greer.（1）The writer mentioned the movie，workout at he beginning of the passage in order to ____ .A.show the importance of music.B.introduce the issue about relaxation.C.remind people of entertainment.D.discuss the relationship between music and brains.（2）According to the passage，why do researcher think we may be able to engineer targeted music for different purposes？ ____ A.Because it can improve life experiences.B.ecause it has been proved successful.C.Because it can benefit humans.D.Because it can be profitable.（3）The problems faced by the research is that ____ .A.It lacks the financial support from the government.B.It will take a long while to search for various styles of songs.C.The machine-learning models that predict reactions is still on the way.D.The data collected form the participants are not reliable.（4）what do paragraph 4 and 5 mainly talk about？ ____ A.The contents of the research.B.The drawbacks of the research.C.The process of the research.D.The findings of the research.（5）What is not mentioned about the fields the music modes could be applied？ ____ A.engineer different music for individualsB.treat mental problem patients by stimulating their brainsC.make people feel more energetic for drivingD.keep people informed of the latest music（6）Which best describe the researchers' attitude in the passage？ ____ A.doubtfulB.objectiveC.negativeD.enthusiastic

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
