A study suggests that some people can overcome them,said Jia Wei Zhang. a psychology graduate at the University of California.But this isnt the case for everyone,he said.The researchers wondered why some people report feeling improvement fro
17、m regrets but others dont.Does it lie in how people approach their regrets?In the study,the researchers focused on self-compassion(自我同情）as a potential factor in why some people have an easier time leaving their regrets behind them. 400 people attended an experiment.First,they were asked to write abo
18、ut their biggest regret. Half wrote something they did but wish they hadnt done;the other half wrote something they didnt do but wish they had.Then,the participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups:self-compassion, self-esteem and a control group.The self-esteem group was asked to respo
19、nd by talking to yourself about this regret from the aspect of confirming your positive qualities.The control group was asked to write about their favorite hobby rather than their regret.Then,they were asked about their feelings of forgiveness,acceptance and personal improvement following the exerci
20、se.They found that the self-compassion group reported greater feelings of acceptance,forgiveness and personal improvement,compared with the control group and the self-esteem group.In other words, focusing on your best qualities is not what helps you feel better about a regret.Rather,being compassion
21、ate toward yourself is what may make a difference,the researchers found.Its possible that people who practice self-compassion are able to confront their regrets and see what went wrong,so they can make a better choice in the future,Zhang told Live Science.Self-compassion pushes people to accept thei
22、r regret instead of running away from it.The researchers used an example of this from a previous study on breast cancer patients who were asked to try thinking about their treatment in a positive light before it began.The women who did so reported greater feelings of personal growth later on.25.What

26、t online takeaway food company Just Eat has partnered with Starship Technologies to deliver food with robots on the streets of London later this month.Nobody has ever done deliveries with land-based robots,said Allan Martinson,the chief operating officer of Starship.The robot courier can travel up t
27、o 4 miles per hour for about 10 miles.It uses a GPS signal and nine cameras to navigate(确定方向）。Instead of a person arriving at their door,customers could find themselves receiving a notification on their phone that says a robot is on its way and a code to unlock the automated courier.Put the code in,
28、the robot opens up,and theres your food,said David Buttress,chief manager of Just Eat.The robot,which has so far been tested in Greenwich,Milton Keynes and Glastonbury,costs E l to transport within 3 miles,compared with the E3 to E6 it costs for a human courier.To date 30 robots have driven nearly 5
29、,000 miles without getting into an accident or finding themselves picked on by passers-by.They have driven in more than 40 cities around the world,including London and Tallinn, Estonia.An initial worry was how the public would react to robots. But Martinson said the public has been calm when passing
30、 the delivery machine on the streets.The most surprising reaction has been the lack of reaction,said Martinson.Another significant fear was that people would disrupt(扰）the robots,or try to steal them and their contents.To prevent this,the robot is fitted with nine cameras,two way audio,and movement
31、sensors that send a warning if it is lifted off the ground.And it opens only with a passcode provided to the customer via a notification.Its much easier to shoplift than it is to steal a robot,said Martinson.29.Which of the following can replace the underlined wordcourier in Paragraph 2?A.Deliverer.

33、e text?A. Great Improvement of Just EatB.Global Trend of Food CompaniesC.New Robots to Move on the RoadD.Delivery Robots to Replace Takeaway DriversDFood storing is common in members of the crow(乌鸦）family.A new study tested the birds outside this naturally occurring behaviour,which may have evolved(
34、进化）specifically because it gives crows a survival advantage.Some crow species are known to naturally use tools to recover food.So the researchers tested whether the birds could store and recover a tool so they could get it at their food after a gap of 17 hours-something we wouldnt expect them to do
35、naturally.But they were able to instantly select the tool out of a number of unnecessary items.In another experiment,the researchers taught crows to select a token(礼品券）from a number of items so that they could then exchange for food.Again,the birds then showed that they could plan for the future usi
36、ng this new behaviour.This is different from all of the previous studies in future planning,which have focused on naturally occurring behaviour.For example,we know that chimpanzees select,transport and save appropriate tools for future needs.These studies have shown that animals can plan for the fut
37、ure-but they left an important question open for debate.Are animals only able to plan to use abilities that have evolved to give them a specific advantage,or can they flexibly and intelligently apply planning behaviour across various actions? Most critics would say the former,as the animals were tes
38、ted in naturally occurring behaviors.But the new research provides the first evidence that animal species can plan for the future using behaviour that doesnt typically occur in nature.This supports the view that at least some recognitive abilities in animals dont evolve just in response to specific
39、problems.Instead,it suggests that animals can apply these behaviors flexibly across problems in a similar way to humans.We need to investigate how flexible behaviour evolved.Then we might be able to see how crows ability to plan for the future fits in with their broader cognitive powers.32.Whats the
40、 new finding about some crows according to Paragraph 1?A.They can store food.B.They can use tools to recover food.C.They can store and recover tools.D.They can select and store food.33.What are crows trained by scientists to do when given a token?A. Reject it casually.B.Exchange it for food.C Save i
41、t as their food.D.Build a nest with it.34.What do scientists think of the studies that animals can plan for the future?A. They are debatable.B.They are disappointing.C.They are contradictory.D.They are convincing.35.What can be inferred about recognitive abilities in animals?A.They develop only with
42、 age.B.It is unclear how theyve evolved now.C.No animals but crows benefit from them.D.Planning for the future helps their evolution.第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Become an Activist(活动家）Activists are people who see the need for change and devote their t
