With a failed laugh, hell slide the crossword toward me. Carefully cut and neatly folded from his newspaper, three-quarter

However, Im happy to help with the strange clue related to sports -my expert knowledge - that still remain. Even if Im certain of an answer, I fill in the squares with a pencil, as clues are alwa

In 1993,she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems, The Wild Iris (野鸢尾).And on October 8 , 2020, she became the 16th woman
29、 to win the Nobel prize in literature with the Nobel prizes first awarded in 190h Gluck was honored for “ her unmistakable poetic voice that, with simple and plain beauty, makes individual existence universal”. Often said to be an autobiographical poet, drawing from the inner parts of her life, “ sh
30、e is not to be regarded as a confessional (自白的)poet. Gluck seeks the universal, ” Nobel Committee ChairAnders Olsson said in a statement. Gluck, 77, the author of 12 poetry collections, has been able to turn her life experiences into universal themes covering life, loss, and loneliness. Because of t
31、his, readers have often found her poetry to be “dark”. However, there is much more than darkness in her voice, as noted by Olsson. It is frank and also a voice full of humor and biting wit,” he said. For example, in her poem Snowdrops, she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of li
32、fe after death. She leads readers down a depressing path only to reconnect with the light at the near end.At the conclusion of the poem, readers are left to feel the raw wind of the new world as they watch a new spring. This is often the case in Glucks poetry, being able to feel joy even after not h
33、aving done so for a long time. Although shes ready a well-known writer, Gluck did feel honored to be given the famous Nobel award. However, when asked what the prize meant to her, the lyric poet replied, “Its too new. I dont know really what it means. ” Her only hope is that she can preserve her dai

She feels it makes much sense to her. B. She feels happy but remains peaceful. C. he feels too excited to catch its real m
37、eaning. D. he feels it helps to preserve her daily routine. D When making choices, people assume that they pick what they like. However, research suggests that we like something strictly because we have chosen it. In other words, we dislike things we dont choose.And this phenomenon has existed since
38、 we were babies. In an experiment, US researchers brought several 10-to 20-month-old babies into a lab and gave them two same bright and colorful soft blocks to play with. They set each block far apart, so the babies had to crawl (爬) to one or the othera random choice.After the baby chose one of the
39、 toys, the researchers took it away and came back with a new option. The babies could then pick either the toy they didnt play with before, or a brand new toy. It turned out that the babies reliably chose to play with the new toy rather than the one they had not chosen. In follow-up experiments, whe
40、n researchers instead helped choose which toy the baby would play with, the phenomenon disappeared. “As if they were saying, Hmm, I didnt choose that object last time, because I guess I didnt like it very much” said Lisa Feigenson, co-author of the study. This is a very important phenomenon in life,
41、 Feigenson noted.Adults will less like the thing they didnt choose, even if they had no real preference in the first place. It looks like babies do just the same. It shows that the act of making choices changes how we feel about our options. The random choices might become our preferences. “They are
42、 really not choosing based on whether they are novel or what they prefer,” said Alex Silver, co-author of the study. This new finding explains why adults build unconscious preference when they make choices between the same things. Justifying (证明有道理) choice is somehow fundamental to the human experie
43、nce. “I chose this, so I must like it. I didnt choose this other thing, so it can not be so good.Adults make these inferences unconsciously,” Feigenson said. Such tendency makes sense to us as we live in a consumer culture and must make so many choices every day, between everything from toothpaste b
44、rands to styles of jeans. Next, researchers will look at whether too many choices could be a problem for babies as they certainly are for adults. 12. What is the purpose of the experiments? A. To test whether people choose what they like. B. To see why babies prefer new toys to old ones. C. To expla
45、in how babies and adults make choices differently. D. To study if too many choices could create problems for people. 13. What can be learned from the experiments? A. Babies prefer bright and colorful toys. B. Babiespreference largely affects their choices. C. Babies prefer adults to help them make c
46、hoices . D. Babiesprevious random choices affect their preference. 14. Why is the new finding important in life? A. It entirely changes our attitude to our choices. B. It helps us make wise decisions in a consumer culture. C. It promotes the relationship between adults and babies. D. It helps us und
47、erstand our unconscious preference for choices. 15. What can be the best tide for the text? A. Babies like what they chooseB. Random choices matter C. Too many choices puzzle the adultsD. Preference affects the choice 第二节第二节( (共共 5 小题小题; 每小题每小题 2 分，满分分，满分 10 分分) ) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项根据短文内容，

49、ed money. We usually accept their requests, but we rarely receive a “ thank you ”. Most people would say that my husband and I are being used, and I suppose we are. But when we give, we shouldnt be giving for the purpose of getting gratitude or praise. _18_ The good news is that when we lead our liv
50、es being nice to others, our lives run more smoothly. If youre generous, yes, some people will use you. But if you practice being generous, most of your relationships will improve. _19_ I truly believe that you cannot say thank you enough when you receive. So often we get lazy about expressing grati
