18、nd, your brains emotional centre is active. University of Southern California scientist, Antonio Damasia, has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains , and found that they were unable to make basic choices about what to wear or eat.

20、 angry shoppers were more likely to choose the first thing they were offered rather than considering other choices. It seems that anger can lead us to make quick decisions without much thinking.All emotions affect our thinking and motivation（动机），so it may be best to avoid making important decisions

I stuttered(口吃）.For me a simple sentence was going to take longer than it should.“ Hello, how are you doing?” can take you 3 seconds(秒）， while it would take me 10 seconds. And the

Im good at explaining things when I writ

An increasing number of people choose cycling instead of driving
32、 to school, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. Bike-sharing plans are warmly welcomed in many cities. Mobike had 5.85 million active users while ofo had 1.4 million in the first week of this year.People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. All bikes have GPS and can be lef
33、t anywhere in public for the next user. Theyre popular among many Chinese people because they help solve “last-mile” problems in cities. For example, many people find it difficult to get to the hotel when they get off trains or to travel around the city.However, the plans have also led to problems s
34、uch as illegal parking, vandalism (故意破 坏 ) and theft( 偷 盗 ). In February, two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative detention (行政拘留) for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes.In fact, these problems are also shared by bike-sharing plans abroad. Started in 37, Velib is the larg
35、est public bike sharing system in Paris. At its early period, it also met with problems of vandalism or theft.

Once a score drops below 80, bike rental(租金)will be increased from 1 yuan to 100 yuan per 30 minutes.1Why are th

Hannay came up to him and said “How are you?”“My head hurts,” the worker said, “I cant do it. I want to go home to
41、 bed. My daughter got married yesterday, and I drank a lot of wine with my friends.
