32、 in the final round B Be careful of those solid gold pieces of advice. The friend who advises you to, say, stay in your relationship or leave your job may well be looking out for you; but shes inescapably looking out for herself, too, whether she realizes it or not. Moreover, research suggests that

33、people will generally advise you to act more cautiously than they would act themselves in a similar situationperhaps because they dont want to feel guilty if you take a daring leap and fall flat on your face. Theres a happy side to this, though, for parents, teachers, managers and anyone else who fi

34、nds themselves in the position of needing to motivate others: far better than giving them advice is to give them the opportunity to give advice. A new study found that American middle- school pupils were much more enthusiastic about doing their homework after giving advice on the topic to younger ch

35、ildren, as compared with after receiving advice from teachers. This motivational effect 6 lasted weeks, and was also observed among adults who were attempting to lose weight, save money, control their temper or find a job. This result isnt all that surprising, I suppose, when you consider how happy

36、it feels to be invited to give advice. Faced with a challenge, we tend to assume we need to seek advice in order to obtain more knowledge about how to give advice; yet the truth, very often, is that we know exactly what we need to dowe just lack the confidence to do it. This, by the way, is another

37、good reason to keep a journal: you can use it to advise yourself. Your friends may have limited patience with your habit of lecturing them on their lives in order to feel better about your own, but a leathereffect notebook never complains. Finally, this is a reminder that there are few bigger compli

38、ments(恭维) you can pay another person than to ask for their advice. Benjamin Franklin famously observed that to flatter(奉承) someone, its better to ask for a favour than to perform one: the favour- doer will come to think of you as the likable sort for whom they do favours. ( )58. Why should you be ca

39、reful of those solid gold pieces of advice? A. They may be practical. B. They may be rewarding. C. They may be demanding. D. They may be conservative. ( )59. The examples in Paragraph 3 suggest that people giving advice _ A. become more motivated to act B. should turn to others for advice C. are sup

40、erior to the professionals D. usually lack relevant knowledge ( )60. What does the author want to convey by mentioning Benjamin Franklin? A. Keeping a journal is a good habit. B. You should be polite to the favourdoers. C. You should be patient with your listeners. D. Asking for a favour pleases the

41、 favourdoers. C The voice of an ancient Egyptian priest has been heard for the first time in more than 3，000 years, thanks to a detailed reconstruction of his vocal tract(声带) from his mummified remains. A team of scientists in England used medical scans of the famous mummy of Nesyamun to create a di

42、gital, 3D model of the insides of the individuals throat and mouth, which were reproduced on a 3D printer. Then the researchers created an artificial larynx(喉头) with a loudspeaker using an electronic waveform. The sound was then played through the speaker into the 3D printed vocal tract to produce a

43、 short bust of Nesyamuns voicea sound not heard since the 11th century BC. Previous efforts to reproduce ancient voices could only approximate them, by animating facial reconstructions with software. In comparison, the sound of Nesyamuns voice is based on “an extant(现存的) vocal tract preserved over 3

44、，000 years， ” the researchers wrote. Nesyamun lived around 1100 BC. He is thought to have died in his late 50s from a severe allergic reaction. Almost 3，000 years later, his mummy was discovered at Karnak and transported to the Leeds City Museum in 1823. His remains and ornate coffin(棺材) have since

45、become some of the worlds best researched relics of ancient Egypt. “Nesyamuns mummy was a good choice for studying the sound of an ancient voice， ” said David Howard, the lead author of the new research, “It was particularly suited，given its age and preservation of its soft tissues, which is unusual

46、.” He said he hopes the scientific understanding of how human voices are created can be combined with knowledge of the ancient Egyptian language to reconstruct longer passages of 7 Nesyamuns speech. Before examining the mummy, the researchers had to deal with ethical(道德的) concerns related to examini

47、ng a person without their consent. They used nondestructive research methods, and took into account words on his coffin, relating that Nesyamun hoped again “to address the gods as he had in his working life.” The researchers interpreted that to indicate his desire to speak again after death. “We are

48、 in a way fulfilling his declared wishes， ” Howard said. Howard and Schofield said they hope a reconstruction of Nesyamuns speech, perhaps reciting an ancient Egyptian prayer, can be featured at the Karnak temple in Egypt for modern tourists. “When visitors encounter the past, it is usually a visual

49、 encounter， ” said Schofield. “With this voice, we can change that.” ( )61. The voice of Nesyamun was recreated by _ A. repairing his vocal tract B. bringing Nesyamun back to life C. using some advanced technologies D. combining it with facial movements ( )62. Why was Nesyamuns mummy suitable for research? A. He often gave long speeches. B. His
