“Meet me in the cnference rm with the cntracts and a cup f cffee," my bss barked at me.“Ten minutes.'

It was a miserable unin. I vwed(发誓) by age eight that I wuld never live like her. I adpted the mtt: Dn't help thse wh wn't help themselves.
I rushed t the file rm and pulled my phne. I explained t my father what had happened and asked his advice n what t d, nly t be asked back. He must have frgtten the unwritten rule between us abut nt answering a questin with a questin. Frtunately, I came up with an idea that wuld have the best f bth wrlds.
I tk up the files and headed fr the cffee pt. I tk tw cups and made tw cups f cffee.Then I walked int the bss' ffice with a cup f cffee in each hand. I handed my bss a cup f cffee and drank at the same time as him.
“Let's take a break," partway thrugh the meeting, my bss std, saying,“I need mre cffee."I picked up my empty cup.“I d, t," I said, and handed it t him acrss the table. “Thanks," I added, lking at him expectantly. The bss was staggered fr a mment, and then tk the cup frm me. .
When I finally left my bss' ffice, I hid in the bathrm and called my dad. My father's laughter n the phne made me feel even pruder.

Withut a time-machine, we'll never knw exactly what Ice Age animals lked like. Artists
ften try t shw us. But smetimes their images can misrepresent the ancient wrld. Fr instance,many peple think velciraptrs were large, dangerus predatrs (食肉动物) which is hw the 2015 mvie Jurassic Wrld prtrayed them. In fact, these creatures were the size f turkeys.
Matt Davis, a palentlgist in Ls Angeles and Emily Lindsey, at the museum's La Brea Tar Pits, wndered if the latest technlgy might help peple learn science cncepts better. They planned t hld a virtual- reality exhibit n Ice Age animals. Since there is n scientifically accurate digital infrmatin abut the animals, the team set ut t mdel prehistric creatures by themselves.
T make their images realistic, the Ls Angeles team turned t science. “We used ur knwledge f bnes, the fssil recrd and scientific literature t make the mst accurate AR mdels we culd," explained Lindsey. They wrked with Plyperfect, a cmpany that creates animated characters fr vide games, t make the mdels. With detailed instructins n hw the animals shuld lk and mve shared by the palentlgists, artists frm Plyperfect drew the shape f the mdel, then animated it.
T make their Ice Age animals accessible t mst peple, the researchers wanted their AR experience t wrk n smartphnes. If the mdels are nt simple enugh, viewing them wuld use up t much data. The team chse a cartnish lk fr their animals. It's called lw ply, shrt fr lw. plygn views(低多边形视野) which simplified the mdels while keeping them scientifically accurate.
Afterward, Davis viewed the life-sized animals in VR fr the first time.“I jumped back when I
saw the American lin," he said. “It was s big and scary." The team still desn't yet knw hw
well such displays will imprve learning, but they d knw it will be fun t interact with these creatures.“If yu g t a museum and see a skeletn, try t draw what yu think the animal wuld lk like in real life," Davis said.“That's a great way t start ut with science."
28. What aspect abut Ice Age animals des the authr shw with the example f velciraptrs?
A. Peple's first impressin f them. B. The misinfrmatin abut them.
C. The ppularity they enjy in mvies. D. The difficulty f knwing abut them.
29. Why d Davis and Lindsey want t hld a virtual reality exhibit n Ice Age animals?
A. T relive the scenes in the mvie. B. T develp virtual reality technlgy.
C. T imprve ur understanding f science. D. T recreate images f Ice Age animals.
30. What d we knw abut the AR mdels?
A. They were created based n scientific data.
B. They culd be designed n smartphnes.
C. Their simplified design cst their accuracy.
D. Their cartnish lks emphasize details.
31. What des Davis think helps when visiting a museum?
A. Drawing the skeletns n display. B. Visualizing the exhibit in reality.
C. Interacting with the animals yu see. D. Ding related research befre visit.

Lss aversin( 厌恶), the idea that lsses are mre psychlgically influential than gains, is widely cnsidered the mst imprtant idea f behaviral decisin-making and its sister field f behaviral ecnmics. T illustrate the significance attached t lss aversin, Kahneman, winner f Nbel Prize in ecnmics, wrte in his bk, Thinking Fast and Slw, that“the cncept f lss
aversin is certainly the greatest cntributin f psychlgy t behaviral ecnmics."
Why has such prfund imprtance been attached t lss aversin? Largely because it is thught t reflect a fundamental truth abut humans- -that we are mre mtivated by ur fears than by ur desires. This cnclusin has indicatins fr almst every aspect f hw we live ur lives.
Hwever, as dcumented in a recent critical review f lss aversin by Rucker f Nrthwestern University, there is n general cgnitive(认知的) prejudice that leads peple t avid lsses mre strngly than t pursue gains. Cntrary t claims based n lss aversin, price increases d nt affect cnsumer behavir mre than price decreases.
If lsing $10,000 means giving up the rf ver yur head whereas gaining $ 10,000 means ging n an extra vacatin, it is perfectly reasnable t be mre cncerned with the lss than the
gain.
Why has belief in lss aversin been held s strng fr s lng? An idealized view f science
is that theries are accepted r rejected based nly n evidence frm experiments. In fact, science is nt simply an impersnal search fr truth, but als a scial prcess, in which supprters f a thery must cnvince ther scientists, thrugh lgic and argumentatin, f hw evidence shuld be interpreted.
In sum, ur critical view f lss aversin highlights that, even in cntemprary times, wrng
ideas can cntinue t exist fr a lng time despite cntrary evidence, and therefre, that there is a need t critically assess accepted beliefs. While lss aversin has frequently been used t explain why peple are prejudiced tward the current situatin, perhaps fittingly, the case f lss aversin illustrates the imprtance f challenging the present state f science.
32. Why did Kahneman write Thinking Fast and Slw ?
A.T recrd the prcess f ur thinking.
B. T test the cntributin f lss aversin.
C. T shw lss aversin is viewed imprtant.
D. T figure ut hw lss aversin cmes abut.
33. Which situatin wrried peple mst accrding t Kahneman?
A. Decreasing price. B. An extra hliday.
C. Rising price. D. Pursuing gains.
34. What des the authr think f science?
A. It is nly based n experiments.
B. It bears little relatin t evidence.
C. It interprets lgic and argumentatin.
D. Its research prcess is bjective and scial.
35. What can be a suitable title fr this passage?
A. Why Is An Imprtant Idea False? B. Hw Can Lss Aversin Be Defined?
C. Is An Accepted Idea Really Objective? D. Are We Prejudiced t Lss Aversin?

Standing at the Plice Outpst Lake's edge, I was fishing with Isaiah, my cusin, ur fishing tackle bx nearby n the shre. Actually, I'd learned t fish frm my dad. He'd taught mre t fish
alne, in silence, lst in my wn thughts. Like meditatin. He'd taught me everything I knew abut fishing. Then, :he passed away.
“Jacb, where shuld I stand? asked Isaiah.
“Be quiet r else we wn't catch any fish," I whispered.
Isaiah frwned, but it was“message received."
“Why d I have t be s quiet2?" asked quietly Isaiah.“All thse birds are making way mre nise than I ever culd!"
I ignred him. Pulling back n my rd, squinting int the glare f the sun. Out f the crner f my eye, I caught a glimpse f a few great nrthern lns(潜鸟) gathering tgether nt far frm the shreline. My mind traveled back t the past. My dad had been a fish and wildlife fficer. He lved his jb, especially the part where he prtected nature frm humans. When he returned, we sat n the cuch tgether, and he amused me with stries f life n the rad. He nce mentined the ln culd easily stab(刺) peple t death with its beak!
Suddenly, Isaiah's vice brught me back, "Lk, smething was cming." Fllwing the directin he was pinting, I saw a ln, wailing(哀号) and making sunds, swam away frm the grup, tward us.
Walking int the water, getting clser t the ln, we bth saw thin wire wrapped arund its
neck and bld spts by its wing. Fishing line maybe? Was it the hk n the line that made it bleed?Was the ln asking us fr help?
