29、,” Locke told CBC. When Locke finally reached out to MacDonald about fixing her roof for free, however, she politely declined his offer because she did not like to accept charity. That being said, she had already applied for a government grant ( 补助金) to fix the roof and she said she was more than ha

30、ppy to hire Locke once her grant application was approved. Unfortunately, MacDonald never received the approval. As the stubborn (固执的) Canadian senior refused to accept any assistance from Locke, the sympathetic construction worker played an innocent trick in order to get her to accept his help. He

31、invited MacDonald to enter a raffle (抽奖活动)that his business was holding for a free roof. After the grandmother of four accepted one of the raffle tickets, Locke told her that she was the winnerbecause she was the only one who had entered the raffle. Thanks to his sweet little plan, Locke and his cre

32、w are starting work on the roof this week, which is expected to cost his company about $9, 000.

35、 D. Different and ambitious. C What is the most meaningless thing every Texan will do at the same time this weekend? You guessed it. We will “fall back” when our clocks are set backward one hour in observance of daylight saving time. This strange practice has an interesting history. In 1784, Benjami

36、n Franklin published a critical essay in a French newspaper suggesting that Parisians could save $200 million through “the economy of using sunshine instead of candles”. Therefore , many people owe the origin of the idea of daylight saving time to our Founding Fathers writings. In the United States,

37、 the clock-changing practice began just over 100 years ago, in 1918, when Congress decided to control time by passing the Standard Time Act to save energy and create time zones. Back then, coal was our top energy source and ensuring that Americans had more daylight working hours made sense. In 2008,

38、 the U. S. Department of Energy assessed the effect of observing daylight saving time on national energy consumption. It found that resetting our clocks amounts to a reduction in our total energy consumption of 0. 02%. The study also determined that sticking with one time could actually save about 0

39、.5% of electricity per day nationwide. Apart from this, the risk of heart attack increases 10% in the days following springing forward, most likely caused by the interruption of biological rhythms. Studies also indicate we are more likely to get sick, we are less productive, and frankly we are just

40、exhausted directly following the time change. It is hard to explain why we still change our clocks. Perhaps it is due to special interests. Congress passed the Energy Act of 2005, which extended the length of daylight saving time an extra week in the fall, in large part due to an effort by candy pro

41、ducers to allow for an additional daylight hour on the night of Halloween for trick -or - treating. This May, we sought to end this ancient practice. It would have allowed Texans to vote whether to stay on standard time year-round or daylight saving time year-round. Our proposal passed the House (众

42、议院)133-9. Sadly, once the bill reached the Senate (参议院),it was never referred to a committee. The proposal died in the Senate without even a word spoken about it on the floor. Im moving forward with plans to file the legislation ( 立 法) again in 2021. I urge you to contact your state legislators to m

43、ove this legislation forward so that this weekend will be one of the last times we have to “fall back.” 38. The possible origin of the idea of daylight saving time is . A. the ancient legal act B. the influence of other countries C. the need for time zones D. the advice from a famous politician 39.

44、What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The reasons for health problems. B. The downsides of setting clocks back. C. The changes in energy consumption. D. The solutions to electricity shortages. 40. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that . A. daylight saving time will last for anot

45、her two years B. the author will continue what he has been doing C. Texans voted for standard time year-round D. state legislators are for the proposal 41. The passage aims to . A. analyze the practice of daylight saving time B. explain the consequences of daylight saving time C. convince people of

46、the necessity of daylight saving time D. persuade people to make efforts to stop daylight saving time D According to a new study, teens focus on rewards and have a hard time learning to avoid punishment or consider the consequences of alternative actions. University College London researchers compar

47、ed how teens and adults learn to make choices based on the available information. They tracked the way in which 18 volunteers aged 12-17 and 20 volunteers aged 18-32 completed tasks in which they had to choose between abstract symbols. Each symbol was consistently associated with a fixed chance of a

48、 reward, punishment, or no outcome. As the trial progressed , participants learned which symbols were likely to lead to each outcome and adjusted their choices accordingly. Teens and adults were equally good at learning to choose symbols associated with reward, but teens were less good at avoiding s

49、ymbols associated with punishment. Adults also performed significantly better when they were told what would have happened if they had chosen the other symbol after each choice, while teens did not appear to take this information into account. “From this experimental lab study we can draw conclusions about learning during the teen years. We find that teens and adults learn in different ways, something that might be relevant to education,“ said lead author Dr. Stefano Palminteri. “ Unlike adult
