“Don’t talk to strangers ...” That is probably one of the 41 pieces of advice handed down from our parents. Yeah,they 42 well. Since there are bad people out there,it seems to be a good idea in order to help 43 us. And over the years we’ve learned how to keep our eyes 44 . We are used to making no eye contact with strangers.
45,the price that we pay for this 46 is that we grow up suspicious(表示怀疑的) of others and their motives. We tend to have a(n) 47 of strangers,which is neither necessary nor 48 as we grow older.
Most people out there are not sociopaths (反社会者) .49,most people are quite 50 . What once protected us from bad people is now preventing us from establishing relationships with 51 people!
In general,you know that the random stranger standing next to you is very 52 to kidnap (绑架) you,yet the emotion of fear is 53 associated with talking to them. So you 54 do it. But you miss out on a lot by closing yourself off to new people like this.
Instead,you should actively 55 that people in general are fiiendly. Why? Because they are. Most people actually are nice. We are 56 creatures,and we welcome interactions with others. Think about it: when a stranger starts a(n) 57 with you,how do you usually 58 ?
Besides,you never know who you might 59 . The person standing behind you in a line could one day be your best friend. It 60 . But even if it's not that extreme,you never know if that person has a job opportunity for you,or is just a cool person who you would enjoy having a brief conversation with.

In science,people copy ideas from nature or natural processes to solve problems or to create products which will serve a specific purpose to help us. This is called biomimicry and its influence can be seen in many everyday products.
We are all familiar with Velcro? (魔术贴) .It was invented in 1941 by a Swiss engineer called George de Mestral,who found some seeds stuck to his dog's hair. Under the microscope,he discovered that these seeds had hooks (钩) on them,so they could easily stick to clothing or hair. He copied this idea and invented Velcro?. It was initially unpopular with fashion companies but after it was used by NASA (美国国家航空航天局) to stop items floating in space,it became popular with children's clothing companies.
More recently,swimwear has also been influenced by nature. The Speedo Fastskin?, a controversial swimsuit,was seen at the Beijing Olympics and worn by 28 of the 33 gold medal winners. The technology is based on the rough patterns on a shark's skin,which allows the shark to swim faster. Shark skin also stops bacteria growing on it'so scientists are copying this surface to design cleaner hospitals.
For NASA. protecting astronauts' eyes from the sun's rays and other dangerous radiation is very important. Scientists studied how eagles see things clearly. They discovered that a substance(物质) called yellow oil in their eyes does the trick. NASA copied this oil and it is now used by astronauts and pilots in Eagle Eyes? glasses. In addition to protecting eyes from all the dangerous rays,these sunglasses also help people see more clearly in even poor weather conditions such as fog.
It appears that the influence of biomimicry is unlimited,so it will be interesting to see what solutions nature provides us with in the future.
32. George de Mestral invented Velcro? .
A. to challenge fashion companies

D. The substance in their eyes.
35. What's the best title for the text?
A. The future of biomimicry
B. The magic of biomimicry
C. The purpose of biomimicry
D. The limitation of biomimicry

The human face may have been built for certain basic functions 一 eating,breathing,seeing — but the 43 separate muscles that keep it constantly moving mean it is constantly communicating too. For example,every eyebrow lift means something. That's good news for a small growing field of business that uses facial analysis to figure out if an advertisement or a TV pilot(实验性节目) appeals to consumers.
Affectiva,a 30-person operation in America,is the most successful of these companies. A decide ago,Rana el Kaliouby began collecting video samples (样本) of faces with the goal of helping autistic(患自闭症的) children. “Autistic kids have a hard time reading faces,” she says, “so the plan was to design a system that tells them that the person they’ re talking to is smiling,say,or looks confUsed." In 2006,the National Science Foundation sponsore her to continue her work at the. MIT Media Lab. Industry groups regularly visit the lab and el Kaliouby’s research impressed them. “They asked , ^ Have you thought of using what you are working on to test a product?’ ” she recalls. So,in 2009 she and her MIT professor established Affectiva to do just that.
For a starting fee of $2,500,Affectiva makes its software available to marketers. Volunteers watch a video on a computer screen while the camera in the computer watches them back. Volunteers always know it is there and when they,re being recorded,which doesn’ t materially affect the results. Engagement,boredom,amusement,displeasure and more are tracked and analyzed. The database Affectiva uses to conduct those analyses is made up of more than 2. 5 million facial video samples. The software also takes factors such as sex,culture and age into account. “Women tend to smile more than men,” el Kaliouby says.
Market testing is only the lowest-hanging fruit. El Kaliouby expects to expand the business to political polling(民意测验) and analysis,as well as helping teachers of online courses assess student engagement. She is still interested in autism and other psychological conditions. There are some potential growth areas that are more controversial: lie detection and airport security,for example. For Affectiva,they’ re no-go zones. “We believe volunteers should always have the right to decide whether to be tested,so for that reason we don't want to be in security ,” el Kaliouby says. That,of course,leaves that space open to new competitors.
28. When el Kaliouby founded Affectiva,she wanted to.
A. look for sponsors
B. help autistic children
C. create a video sample database
D. test commercials and TV pilots
29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The computer. B. The camera.
C. The screen. D. The video.
30. We can infer that “new competitors” mentioned in the last paragraph may use facial analysis to.
A. do political polling and analysis
B. assess online students’ engagement
C. examine whether people are telling lies
D. help people with psychological conditions
31. In which part of a magazine Can we read the text?
A. Technology. B. Education.
C. Lifestyle. D. Society.

Jason Detzel was bored with his work as a psychologist,and he was tired of spending all day in an office. Dr. Detzel felt that in the city he was losing touch with something important,so he quit his job and started a farm.
He and his business partner found 80 acres of land in a small town and signed a 10-year lease (租约) . While some farms used a lot of machinery,they decided they wanted to do as much as possible with their own hands. They built a corral(畜栏) for the cows,pig shelters and a house for the chickens.
“I’m definitely happier being out in the fields with my animals. Even if there are bad days,I'm still happy,” Dr. Detzel said. “When you’ re inside all day,you don't get to see nature working."
“The job is different every day on the farm. It's amazing,” he said. “You.’ re a farmer. You’ re an animal doctor. You’ re a pipe fitter. You’ re definitely a carpenter a lot. You're a jack of all trades(万事通) master of none. That's what I like about it."
Learning how to manage the animals had been one of the biggest challenges of starting the farm,Dr. Detzel said. He learned that it was important to stick to a routine. That's why he rang the same bell and called to the cows in the same way each day. The routine helped keep the cows calm and cooperative.
It wasn't easy for Dr. Detzel to be accepted by the other farmers in his community. With all his tattoos(文身) ,he looked very different. When he started the farm he was in his early 30s,while most other farmers were older. There weren't many young people starting farms,because it had become harder and harder for small family farms to make much income.
Dr. Detzel said that began to change when more people became locavores. A locavore is someone who tries to eat food grown and raised nearby. By shopping at their local farmers’ market,many locavores hope to reduce the amount of energy used to ship food long distances. Many locavores like knowing where their food comes from and being able to talk to the farmers about what chemicals were used and how the animals were treated.
21. What was the main purpose of Dr. Detzel starting a farm?
A. To get back to nature.
B. To make more money.
C. To study agricultural machinery.
D. To keep in touch with his friends.
22. What did Dr. Detzel like about his job on the farm?
A. He often traded at a profit.
B. He was good at many things.
C. He could do many types of work.
D. He could get to know many farmers.
23. To manage the animals,Dr. Detzel.
A. followed a routine
B. used different bells
C. learned from other farmers
D. called professionals for help
24. A locavore prefers.
A. self-produced food
B. healthy organic food
C. food from distant places
D. food grown by local farmers
