Ever been talking about something important with someone you care about and found the
discussion frustrating instead of fruitful? Negative energy can then cast a 26 over your efforts to
build a shared understanding.
In fact, collaborative problem solving conversations require skills. Strong listening skills are
￣
essential. Sprinkling in positivity via appreciation, 27 smiles, and warm comments helps. So
does the essential ability to keep your emotional tone in the calm zone.If the tone of a dialogue heats
up and anger erupts, the dialogue 28 from collaborative to adversarial, and progress is likely to
come to an immediate 29 .
In addition, effective dialogue generally has another important characteristic: symmetry.
Symmetry in dialogue refers to the balance of how much each partner talks. Are you each
getting equal airtime? When one participant does most of the talking, this asymmetry or lack of
balance tends to become annoying to one or both of you. The silent partner 30 tires of only
listening, while the talker can feel 31 . Usually, both would prefer more equal give and take.
Different rates of speech and levels of voice volume can 32 symmetry as well. The faster
or louder partner can easily begin taking up more airtime. The slower talking or softer voiced one
￣ ￣
can have trouble getting the floor.
Conversations also lose balance when one partners opinions count more than the others. One
persons input may carry more sway because their style of expression is more 33 .One viewpoint
may tend to get lost because it is expressed more 34 .
If either partner fairly consistently 35 or evaporates, modifying the pattern will be helpful.
The dialogue will feel more productive, and at the same time, the relationship overall is likely to feel
more positive.

Ｗｈａｔ Ｉｓ ａ Ｓｕｐｅｒ Ｂｌｏｏｄ Ｗｏｌｆ Ｍｏｏｎ
A)Blue moons, rose moons, supermoons. For some reason all the websites seem to think you really
want to know all about these moons. Catch This Weekends AMAZING SUPERMOON, one
headline will announce. The Supermoon Isnt Actually A Big Deal And Youre All Ruining
Astronomy, another will complain.
B)The latest example is the super blood wolf moon eclipse which sounds like the name of an
emotional song I would have performed a modern dance routine to in 9th grade,but is,in fact,an
astronomical event set to occur on January 20. As well explain below, there is nothing truly
mysterious or otherwise special about this moon, and it will not look like a bloody wolf head in
the sky or anything wild like that. We get these super lunar events by smashing together all the
qualifiers weve historically used to keep track of full moons throughout the year, and in the age
of the internet we can get a little too enthusiastic.
C)Consider this your go to resource for all moon gazing news.Heres what you need to know about
￣ ￣
the latest lunar event.
６D)Look, its okay if you dont know.There are probably loads of folks who walk around pretending
they totally know why that thing in the sky seems to get bigger and smaller at regular intervals
but who totally do not.
E)The moon orbits Earth, and its tidally locked that means it always shows us the same face,
—
instead of spinning around like our planet does. Thats why you can always see the man on the
moon (or the moon rabbit, depending on your cultural preferences) even as it spins around us.
But while the moon is big and bright in the sky when its full, thats only because its reflecting
light from the sun. But the moon is always moving, so its getting hit with sunlight at different
angles. Its invisible to us during the new moon, because our satellite is parked right between us
and the sun; the so called dark side of the moon is lit up like Las Vegas, but the side we can see
￣
is in shadow. A full moon happens when the earth is right between the sun and the moon, so
sunlight hits the part we can see.And all the other phases are just the transition from one of those
extremes to the other.
F) The moon isnt always exactly the same distance from Earth, because its orbit isnt perfectly
circular. We call the closest point ｐｅｒｉｇｅｅ (近地点) and the most distant point is ａｐｏｇｅｅ (远地
点) 2018s closest perigee and most distant apogee both happened in January, and the difference
was about 30 000 miles.
G)The reason you care about this ordinary change in distance is that it turns a moon super. When a
full moon happens close to perigee, its going to look a bit bigger. Honestly, the difference is not
that profound, but if youre in a position to photograph the supermoon next to something that
shows the slight increase in scale,it can look pretty cool.Januarys super blood wolf moon eclipse
is super because the date lines up with the closest the moon will get to us during January, but the
moon wont actually be at its closest for the year until Februarys supermoon, which you can
expect plenty of undue excitement over.
H)Blood moons only occur during total lunar eclipses (which can happen a few times a year in any
given location) When the moon slips through our shadow, we give it a reddish coloring. The
moon can also look orange whenever its rising or setting, or if it hangs low in the horizon all
７night the light bouncing off of it has to travel through a thicker atmosphere there, which scatters
—
more blue light away. But youll probably only see that deep, sinister red during an eclipse.
I) A lot of headlines about moons are just ridiculous (you do not need to be particularly excited
about a blue moon, it just looks like a regular full moon), but you should definitely roll out of
bed to look at a blood moon if one is going to be visible in your region, even though theyre just
lunar eclipses and not evidence of bloody battles between the sky gods.
J) In March of 2018, we had our second blue moon of the year, to much acclaim. And while
thats not necessarily special in an oh gosh get out and look at it way,its certainly special:a blue
￣ ￣ ￣ ￣ ￣ ￣ ￣
moon is a nickname for when two full moons fall in the same calendar month, and we hadnt
previously had two in one year since 1999. We wont have it happen again until 2037.
Astronomer David Chapman explained that this is merely a peculiarity of our calendar; once we
stopped doing things based on the moon and started trying to follow the sun and the seasons, we
stopped having one reliable full moon per month.The moon cycle is29.53 days long on average,
so in most months we still end up with a single new moon and a single full one. But every once
in a while, one month steals a full moon from another.In 2018 (and in 1999, and again in 2037)
both January and March stacked full moons on the first and last nights of the month, leaving
February in the dark.
K)Getting two blue moons a year is rare, but we have individual blue moons every few years. Also,
fun fact: not actually blue.A moon can indeed take on a moody blue color, but this only happens
when particles of just the right size disperse through the sky and it has nothing to do with the
—
moons status as blue .Big clouds of ash from volcanic eruptions or fires can do the trick, but it
doesnt happen often, and the stars would certainly have to align for two such rare instances to
occur at once.
L)You may have heard that the super special second blue moon of 2018 was also a Paschal moon.
This is true!That just means it was the first full moon of spring, which is often used to
determine the date of Easter Sunday.All of this is just calendar nonsense and we refuse to go into
it further.
８M)Sometimes youll see a headline that promises a moon with so many qualifiers it makes your head
spin. A super blue blood worm moon, perhaps? Or a super blood wolf moon? Lots of websites
will tell you that wolf moon is the traditional name of the first full moon of the year in Native
American cultures, which is kind of a weird thing to claim given that there are 573 registered
Tribal Nations in the US alone today, not to mention historically. The idea that hungry, howling
wolves were such a universal constant in January that all of North America with its different
cultures, geographies, and languages spontaneously came up with the same nickname is illogical.
N)Many cultures have traditional names for the full moon in a given month or season, so theres
quite a list to draw from if youre trying to really juice up a story on a slightly bigger than
￣ ￣ ￣
average view of the moon.But these are all based on human calendars and activities and folklore;
you will not go outside and see a pink moon in April, though I wish it were so.
36. We cannot see the moon at times when it is positioned right between the earth and the sun.
37. Volcanic eruptions may cause the moon to assume a moody blue color.
38. The moon will be closest to the earth when the supermoon occurs in February.
39. There is nothing unusual about the super blood wolf moon, which will bear no resemblance to a
bloody wolf head.
40. The moon will appear orange when the light reflecting from it travels through an atmosphere
thicker than usual.
41. It is contrary to logic to claim the name of wolf moon originates from the cultures of American
Indians.
42. As the moons orbit is not a hundred percent circle, its distance from the earth changes.
￣
43. A full moon in a given month or season gets a specific name in different cultures.
９44. There are likely lots of people who know absolutely nothing about why the moon appears to
change its size regularly but act like they know.
45. When a full moon appears twice in the same month, it is nicknamed a blue moon.

With population increases and global urbanisation ever accelerating, much attention is focused
on the sustainability of our cities and scarce attention is paid to the countryside.
Rural life is associated with closely knit communities,sense of belonging,and a simple,tranquil
￣
life. Yet whilst some or all of these elements exist in the countryside, so do conservatism and a lack
of employment opportunities. And it is mostly due to the latter that rural communities are suffering.
Attracted by the improved economics of urban areas, country dwellers across the world are moving
￣
out, contributing to the excessive crowdedness of densely populated cities,and leaving the countryside
in desolation.
So how can the countryside ensure its survival among these changes, or should it at all? Due to
both the distance between residences and facilities and often intermittent public transport,those living
in the countryside are heavier automobile users. Rural dwellers also use more energy maintaining
their mostly detached buildings. We may be piled up like boxes in the city, but this brings energy
efficiency that the countryside cannot match. Rural energy requirements result in higher carbon
emissions per person than in the city, so it is actually irresponsible to endorse such a lifestyle
choice.
Protecting the countryside is a hot topic. Those who have made their fortunes in the city often
buy second homes in the countryside, visiting intermittently for a sample of a supposedly simple life.
The side effect of this is that house prices are pushed up due to increased demand, leaving them
￣
１０unaffordable for local people.A solution has yet to be found for this challenge, for market forces are
further forcing residents out of the countryside. For those who believe in rural preservation, this is
deplorable.
Whilst an idealised view of the countryside is common, the reality is that rural life has
continuously evolved. Industrialisation brought an increase in divisions of labour, changing social
links between rural people. The internet has introduced once foreign cultures into the countryside.
Improved travel connections and affordability have made the world more accessible, creating a
global village . Considering these changes, surely an evolving countryside is inevitable.
Perhaps the countryside should also prepare itself for massive population increases in the future.
With cities across the world growing rapidly, how will the current urban generation respond to the
inevitable social changes of mass urbanisation? Will the longing for a simpler life become stronger,
fueling a rural renaissance?
As the world continues to urbanise, the voices calling for rural preservation may well grow
louder. But change is inevitable. We know that the world is going to see new cities emerging from
the dust and current cities growing into megacities, but the future of the countryside is less clear.
46. What has become of the rural areas nowadays?
A)They are becoming somewhat deserted.
B)They are being increasingly urbanised.
C)They are closely knit communities.

Statements, like beauty is in the eye of the ｂｅｈｏｌｄｅｒ (观看者) , are rarely questioned.Theyve
become so embedded in our consciousness that people think its absurd to think otherwise. It might
be useful, however, to at least push back on this assumption because people evaluate environment,
situations, and people aesthetically. We may find that we still believe it is correct, but we may also
find that there is a lot more to the situation than you suppose.
A recent study exploring aesthetic taste was published in Cognition. The results from this study
show that people agree very much in their aesthetic evaluation of natural objects, but they disagree
more about artifacts, or human made objects.
￣
The study found that shared taste was most common for faces and natural landscapes, but least
common among works of architecture and art.The hypothesis is the commonly pleasing features,like
proportion or symmetry, are at work.
Preferences for natural scenes might be learned through life experiences. Factors like
habitability, safety, and openness might be preferred as people develop. Some of the details of
landscapes change, but the basics are more common, e.g., water, open spaces, and signs of care.
Art and architecture, unlike natural spaces, do not have the same level of exposure. So, people
do not have the same level of shared taste.
Its possible that the lower amount of agreement in the shared taste of artifacts has to do more
with elements of style, rather than behavioral consequences .
１２All of the consequences seem reasonable (or at least possible), but I think there might be an
interesting philosophical conclusion that they did not draw.It seems that there is an objective ground
to our aesthetic preferences or evaluations. I am not saying this would mean beauty is completely
objective, just that there could possibly be general objective principles at work, i.e., beauty is not
simply in the eye of the beholder.
Nature exhibits some of the universal aesthetic features, such as radiance, in a common way
throughout the world. Its not exactly the same everywhere, but it is common. For example, a sunset
is similar enough in different places to warrant almost universal appeal.
Possible universal principles of beauty such as proportion, fittingness, radiance, and others
— —
are general categories, which allow for a wide array of embodiments. When people get involved in
making artifacts in architecture or art,they apply these very general concepts in unique ways.But the
way they applied the principle may not have universal appeal.
This is why its important to experience diverse cultures and their artifacts because it opens us
up to different ways of approaching or constructing beauty. And it is always good to question our
assumptions.
51. What does the passage say about the statement beauty is in the eye of the beholder ?
A)It has hardly ever been disputed.
B)It can be interpreted aesthetically.
C)Many people have found it absurd.
D)People have long been misled by it.
52. What does a recent study exploring aesthetic taste show?
A)Aesthetic tastes tend to differ from person to person.
B)Natural beauty is rarely surpassed by artificial beauty.
C)There is less consensus on objects shaped by human craft.
D)There is general agreement on what is pleasing to the eye.
53. Why do people differ in their aesthetic appraisal of artifacts?
A)They come out in a great variety of designs.
B)They lead to varying behavioral consequences.
C)They take up much less natural space than landscapes.
D)They come into peoples view less often than natural spaces.
１３54. What does the example of sunset tell about nature?
A)It creates a powerful appeal through its brilliant radiance.
B)It displays aesthetic traits in a similar way the world over.
C)It embodies beauty with a wide array of aesthetic features.
D)It establishes the principles of beauty in a number of ways.
55. Why do artifacts not always hold universal appeal?
A)The appreciation of their beauty is not subject to objective standards.
B)The universal principle of beauty prevents a wide array of embodiments.
C)The way their creators apply the principle of beauty may not be pleasing to everybody.
D)Their creators interpret the universal principle of beauty each in their preferred way.
