Where To See Pandas
Dujiangyan Panda Base
Pandas: about 20
Activities: panda viewing, and panda keeper program
Suitable for: those who want a less-crowded panda base or to join in a one-day volunteer program
If you’re looking for close contact with pandas, a panda keeper program is the best choice. It offers the perfect
opportunity to see and serve those lovely creatures.
Dujiangyan Panda Base focuses on breeding, wilderness training, and releasing pandas into the wild. Only 1. 5
hours from Chengdu, it is the most easily-accessible panda base offering a panda keeper program.
Wolong Panda Base
Pandas: about 30
Activities: seeing pandas, panda keeper program, hiking in wild panda habitat
Best for: those who take part in a volunteer program in a peaceful environment
Compared with Dujiangyan, Wolong Panda Base is much further away from Chengdu. Thus, it is less
frequented by visitors. Besides, Wolong National Nature Reserve is considered to be the real hometown of wild
pandas. Hike in Dengsheng Gorge, learn about the habitat of wild giant pandas, and try tracking a wild panda.
Giant Panda Breeding Research Base
Pandas: about 50
Activities: seeing pandas and cubs, watching panda breeding movies
Best for: people who have limited time, and are only interested in seeing pandas. Giant Panda Breeding
Research Base is one of the largest panda reserves with 50 giant pandas. It specializes in baby pandas and their
care.
September is the best time to see adorable newly-born cubs and naughty year-old panda cubs. Visiting the
panda playground in the morning will brighten your trip. You might see them snoozing on tree stumps, gamboling
with one another, or crunching on bamboo shoots. . .
Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park
Activities: seeing pandas, 1-hour Little Panda Keeper Program
Best for: families with kids, foreigners in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong
Chimelong Safari Park is considered to be the largest wildlife theme park in China. The only visitable panda
triplets are the stars there. During your visit, you can have meals at a panda-themed canteen where pandas play nextto the windows.
Kids over 5 years old have the chance to join in a 1-hour Little Panda Keeper Program. They will learn about
pandas, make a panda cake, and visit the panda house.

It seemed interesting that on the eve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s departure for France, the Indian and
French governments issued similar statements on the prospects of an agreement on the purchase of the Rafale
aircraft: that no single deal should be allowed to overshadow the Prime Minister’s visit. Indeed, India-France
relations are much bigger than any one contract; they represent the cultural affinityl( 密切关系)and historic
relations between two vibrant(醒目的)democracies. The items on the Prime Minister’s agenda reflected the range
of commonalities—from the preservation of ancient architecture to the development of Puducherry and Chandigarh
as smart cities; from the construction of semi-high-speed railway lines to cooperation on a space mission to Mars;
from discussing anti-terror training to tackling climate change through renewable technologies and a robust nuclear
partnership. The economic aspect of the relationship has been ignored for too long. Although more than a thousand
French companies have a total investment of about $20 billion in India, bilateral trade is worth just $8 billion.
While all this deserved attention, it was disappointing that the Prime Minister put the spotlight back on defence ties
by making a surprise announcement on the purchase of 36 Rafale aircraft as the highlight of his talks with President
Francois Hollande. If the outright purchase was a crucial military necessity, it could have been discussed a few
weeks before or after the visit, as a political push for the deal was secondary to the technical specifications and
delivery requirements. Moreover, the deal, which involves purchasing products off the shelf abroad, detracts from
Mr. Modi’s “Make in India” initiative(主动性).
The breakthrough on the Areva nuclear equipment deal, on the other hand, shows the positive outcome of Mr.
Modi’s and Mr. Hollande’s political push, combined with a “Make in India” twist. As in the case of Indo-U.S.
nuclear negotiations, Mr. Modi and Mr. Hollande decided to clear the logjam by splitting the problem into different
silos—allowing for separate mechanisms for the pricing issues and for the technical and legal aspects. The
supplementary deal involving Areva and L&T producing heavy forging metal casing for nuclear reactors is an
important step in localising some of the expensive parts. During his visit to Canada, where he hopes to sign a dealfor uranium supplies, Mr. Modi means to take forward his plan to increase nuclear energy production. Given
this objective, it may be useful for him to round off the visit by discussing his nuclear energy plans in Germany as
well, which is now winding down on nuclear power but is at the cutting edge of nuclear safety research for the
European Pressurised Reactors that are being considered for India.
24.Which of the following got the whole attention other than many important deals?
A. Cooperation on a space mission to Mars. B. Anti-terror training.
C. Purchase of Rafale Fighters. D. General VK Singh’s remark on the Press.
25.Which of the following option is on the agenda of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi as stated above?
A. Preservation of ancient architecture.
B. Development of Puducherry and Chandigarh as smart cities.
C. Construction of semi-high-speed railway lines.
D. All of the above.
26.Choose an appropriate Title for the above passage: .
A. The Big Deal B. Modi’s Success C. Modi’s tour to FranceD. Rafale and beyond
27.Which of the following is the meaning of the word ‘logjam’?
A. A long traffic jam during Prime Minister Modi’s visit.
B. A state of mind where you cannot decide what to do.
C. A situation that seems like unable to be settled.
D. A place from where The French President used to work.
C
Up and down the economic ladder, many Americans who work—and especially those raising kids—are
pressed for time, wishing they had more of it to devote to leisure activities(or even just sleeping). At the same time,
research has indicated that people who are busy tend to be happier than those who are idle, whether their busyness
is purposeful or not.
A research paper released late last year investigated this trade-off, attempting to pinpoint(精确指出)how much
leisure time is best. Its authors examined the relationship between the amount of “discretionary time” people had—
basically, how much time people spend awake and doing what they want—and how pleased they were with their
lives.
The paper, which analyzed data covering about 35,000 Americans, found that employed people’s ratings of
their satisfaction with life peaked when they had in the neighborhood of two and a half hours of free time a day. For
people who didn’t work, the optimal(最佳)amount was four hours and 45 minutes.
The research traced a correlation(关联)between free time and life satisfaction, but didn’t provide any
definitive(最后的)insight into what underlies that correlation—“which is exciting, because this is a work in
progress,” says Cassie Mogilner Holmes, a professor at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management and a co-author
of the paper, which hasn’t yet been peer-reviewed or published in an academic journal.
An experiment that the researchers arranged hinted at(暗示)a possible explanation of the correlation they
found. They asked participants to picture and describe what it would be like to have a certain amount of daily free
time, and then report how they’d feel about that allotment(分配). “What we find is that having too little time makespeople feel stressed, and maybe that’s obvious,” says Holmes. “But interestingly, that effect goes away—the
role of stress goes away—once you approach the optimal point.” After that point, Holmes says, the subjects started
to say they felt less productive overall, which could explain why having a lot of free time can feel like having too
much free time.
It’s not clear what an individual is to do with these findings, since the amount of free time people have usually
has something to do with a variety of factors, such as having children or a degree of control over work schedules.
Holmes shared her research with the MBA students in her class on happiness, and some of the most time-crunched
among them were comforted by the findings: “I think that two and a half hours creates a nice goal that even if you
increase a little bit more of your discretionary time use, you can expect that it will translate into greater life
satisfaction.”
28.According to the passage, what happens to Americans occupied with their work?
A. They allow themselves more leisure time.
B. They keep themselves busy on purpose.
C. They know how much leisure time is best.
D. They experience higher level of satisfaction.
29.What can be learned about the correlation between free time and life satisfaction?
A. Researchers have cast light on the cause of the correlation.
B. Unemployed people need more leisure time to feel content.
C. The paper on the correlation has achieved peer recognition.
D. Employed people enjoy more leisure time in the neighborhood.
30.Which of the following charts illustrates the change of stress and productivity?
A. B.
C. D.
31.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A. Holmes is optimistic about the influence of her findings
B. individuals are encouraged to control their work schedules
C. people with tight schedules can’t benefit from the findings
D. the MBA students find no free time to obtain life satisfactionD
In the late 1970s, archaeologists(考古学家)uncovered the remains of a woman and a young dog, her hand
resting on the puppy’s chest in a 12,000-year-old village.
The find is some of the earliest evidence of the bond between humans and dogs. But even after years of study
researchers are divided on how this bond began. Did it arise over thousands of years, as early dogs became
tamer(驯服的)and more accustomed to human behaviors? Or was this fire already burning in the ancestors of dogs:
the gray wolf?
Christina Hansen Wheat, a behavioral ecologist at Stockholm University, and workmates hand-raised 10 gray
wolves from the time they were 10 days old. When the animals were 23 weeks old, a caregiver led them one at a
time into a mostly empty room. Over the course of several minutes, the caregiver exited and entered the room,
sometimes leaving the wolf alone, sometimes leaving it with a complete stranger. The team repeated the experiment
with 12 23-week-old Alaskan huskies(哈士奇), which they’d raised similarly since puppyhood.
For the most part, the scientists saw few differences between the wolves and the dogs. When their caregiver
entered the room, both species scored 4.6 on a five-point scale of “greeting behavior”—a desire to be around the
human. When the stranger entered, dog greeting behavior dropped to 4.2 and wolf to 3.5, on average, suggesting
both animals made a distinction between the person they knew and the one they didn’t. It’s this distinction that the
team counts as a sign of attachment.
In addition, dogs barely paced—a sign of stress—during the test, while wolves paced at least part of the time.
However, the wolves stopped pacing almost entirely when a stranger left the room and their caretaker returned.
Hansen Wheat says that’s never been seen before in wolves. It could be a sign, she says, that the animals view the
humans who raised them as a “social buffer”.
For her, that’s the most interesting part of the study. “If this is true, this sort of attachment is not what separates
dogs from wolves,” she says. In other words, it didn’t have to be bred into them by humans, but could have been
the seed we selected for, and then strengthened over thousands of years.
32.What’s the purpose of Hansen Wheat’s experiment?
A. To find out what makes gray wolves and dogs different.
B. To explain the reasons why humans raised dogs from ancient times.
C. To argue gray wolves after being tamed are easier to keep than dogs.
D. To prove whether gray wolves can make doglike attachment to people.
33.What do we know about Hansen Wheat’s experiment from paragraph 3 and 4?
A. Researchers began to raise gray wolves from their birth.
B. Researchers used equal numbers of gray wolves and dogs.
C. Gray wolves felt more stressful than dogs when a stranger came.
D. “Greeting behavior” of the two animals was significantly different.
34.What do the underlined words “social buffer” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. A reminder of feeding. B. A sign of social attachment.
C. A source of comfort and support. D. A warning of stopping pace.
35.What will Hansen Wheat probably agree with according to the last paragraph?A. Dogs are more attached to humans than gray wolves.
B. It is the attachment to humans that sets gray wolves apart from dogs.
C. The attachment between dogs and humans is the result of being tamed.
D. The attachment to humans plays a role in the choice of dogs or gray wolves.

Color psychology is the study of how colors affect human behavior, mood, or physiological processes. Colors
affect our feelings and memories. 36 Companies choose colors that they believe will motivate customers to
buy their products and improve brand awareness.
Color perception is very subjective, as different people have different ideas about and responses to colors.
Several factors influence color perception, which makes it difficult to determine if color alone impacts our
emotions and actions. 37 In some cultures, for example, white is associated with happiness and purity. In a
situation where a woman is wearing a white wedding dress, is she happy because she is influenced by the color
white or because she is getting married? To someone from a different culture, wearing white may signify sadness.
38
While no direct cause and effect relationship between color and behavior has been found, some generalizations
about colors and what they may symbolize have been determined. Colors including red, yellow, and orange are
considered warm colors. 39 Cool colors include blue, violet, and green. These colors are associated with
calmness and coolness.
40 We see colors with our brains. Our eyes are important for detecting and responding to light, but it is
the brain's visual center in the occipital lobes(枕叶)that processes visual information and assigns color. The colors
we see are determined by the wavelength of light that is reflected. The brain integrates these wavelength signals
enabling us to distinguish among millions of different colors.
A. We don’t actually see colors with our eyes.
B. Our brain associates the wavelength with a color.
C. Colors also have been used to treat various diseases.
D. They are even thought to influence our buying choices.
E. These colors are thought to stimulate exciting emotions.
F. The influential factors of color perception include age and culture.
G. This is because white is associated with sorrow and death in those cultures.

Rick, a ten-year-old boy, was constantly angry at everything around him. He always fought in school with the
other kids. Once he had an outburst in school. Upset by something a classmate said to him, he pushed the boy, and a
fight happened. When the teacher stepped in to break it up, Rick went crazy, throwing papers and books around the
classroom and rushing out. His teachers couldn’t say anything that would comfort the kid. And the parents of his
schoolmates were getting concerned. Rick was earning quite the reputation. After talking with school officials,
Rick’s mom tried everything she could to calm Rick down.
She tried different methods until one day she came home with a canvas(画布)and paint. “What’s this?”, Rick
asked. Rick’s mom handed over the painting equipment and said, “Whenever you feel angry, paint whatever you’re
angry about instead of bursting out.” Rick wasn’t that happy about it but he gave it a try anyway. Over the next fewweeks, the young boy created several artworks. They mostly showed disturbing images though. So his mom
took all of the paintings and called Rick over so that they could talk about them. “Tell me, Rick. What are these
paintings about?”
“Well, the first painting is about how some of the kids show off their new clothes and pencil cases. The next
painting is about my teacher who keeps telling me about how I’m doing things wrong. And the last painting is
about how one of my schoolmate’s father suggested that I change my attitude. All of them make me so angry.”
Rick’s mom, in a calm voice, took Rick by her side and told him: “Don’t you see it, Rick?” “See what?” Rick
asked. “You’re so angry at all of these things but not once did you try to understand why you’re getting so angry.
What have all these people done to you, really?”
