My mother had got used to listening to her strong son, and my son was in the habit of 39 his father, a big figure in his mind. I suddenly felt the weight
18、of a heavy 40 . I tried to 41 a win-win choice, but failed. Finally, I decided 42 my son, because there would be long years 43 in which I could be with him. But my mother changed her 44 , and said, “Wed better take the little path. Youll have to 45 me on your back in places I cant walk across,” Diff

24、tep aside. Another 25 percent like to pass first, making the other person stand to one side. The remaining 50 percent make up the third type of pedestrian and vary their strategy.The findings come from study in which researchers from the Technical University of Munich paired up 20 strangers and aske
25、d them to walk towards each other without colliding and without speaking.The volunteers also filled in personality questionnaires and were measured and weighed.Interestingly, physical factors such as age, height and gender seemed to have no bearing on pavement etiquette(礼仪). Nor did qualities such a
26、s extraversion or shyness, the Journal of Experimental Psychology reports. In other words, some of us seem to be simply born to push past.A second experiment revealed that the person who passes first isnt as rude as they may 7initially appear. It seems they do tend to adjust their path - just not en
27、ough to avoid a collision. As a result, it is only when the second person moves out of the way that the problem is solved.Etiquette expert William Hanson said that the custom of men walking on the outside of the pavement to protect women from traffic and other dangers has fallen by the wayside.Mr Ha
28、nson said: Traditionally, men let the woman they were accompanying walk closest to the building, away from the pavement edge.How to avoid that awkward pavement danceThe German study doesnt address what to do in the common but embarrassing situation, in which both pedestrians repeatedly dodge out of
29、each others way in the same direction, giving the impression of dancing together on the pavement.But Mr Hanson said: I tend to pick a side of the pavement, stick to it, and politely gesture to the empty space for the stranger to use.51. The writer uses the question at the beginning to _.A. test the
30、readers knowledge about pavement etiquette B. draw the readers attention to the topic C. show the importance of giving way D. invite the readers to answer the question52. It can be learned from the two experiments that _.A. about half of the people try to think of other waysB. pavement etiquette has
31、 much to do with personalitiesC. a quarter of people are too rude to give wayD. a collision is unavoidable when two walk to each other53. Which of following might Mr. Hanson agree with?A. Men tend to be more considerate to women than before.B. Its mens duty to protect women from traffic dangers. C.
32、Sticking to one side can help avoid pavement dance. D. It is embarrassing to dance together on the pavement. BOur days on Earth are numbered, according to Professor Stephen Hawking.8The world-famous physicist has previously issued warnings to the world that robots could wipe out mankind and that lea
33、ving Earth is our only hope.“I believe that life on Earth is at an ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as a sudden nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus, or catastrophic global warming,” he said. “I think the human race has no future if it doesnt go to space.”Hawking sa
34、id that increasingly, most of the threats mankind faces come from progress in technology. “We are not going to stop making progress, or reverse it, so we must recognise the dangers and control them.” To get away from these threats, humankind will have to colonise other planets, which Hawking believe
35、s will take more than a century. “We will not establish self-sustaining colonies in space for at least the next hundred years, so we have to be very careful in this period,” Hawking said.Research regarding sending humans into space remains strong.In September the US Senate introduced a bill that aut
36、horizes a new $19.5 billion (15 billion) budget for Nasa to send a crew to the red planet, but commanded it must happen within the next 25 years.Professor Hawking has also previously singled out the risk of artificial intelligence (AI) becoming powerful enough to cause the downfall of mankind.In Jul
37、y, Professor Hawking and Tesla founder Elon Musk led 1,000 robotics experts in an open letter warning that “Weapons entirely powered by AI will become the Kalashnikovs of tomorrow”. “The probable life span of human civilization is much greater if were a multi-planet species as opposed to a single-pl
38、anet species,” Elon Musk said last year. His company SpaceX is working to send humans to space. In September, the firm test fired one of its new Raptor “interplanetary transport engines” which the company will use to carry astronauts to Mars. 54. Which of the following might Professor Hawking NOT ag
39、ree with?A. The human race has no way out but to stop progress in technology.B. It will take at least one century to colonize a planet.9C. Artificial intelligence will bring disasters to the human race.D. Mankind is facing many dangers caused by technological progress55. The underlined sentence “Our
40、 days on Earth are numbered” implies _.A. We are particular creatures living on earth.B. We cant live on earth for much longer.C. There are too many days for human existence.D. Each day has its particular meaning. 56. The paragraphs following this passage would probably talk about _.A. how to extend
41、 human life spanB. more threats the human race facesC. the risk of artificial intelligence D. Space Xs plan to colonize MarsC Bonding with other guys may relieve stress in men, according to media reports of research published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology last week. Men who are close with e
42、ach other have higher levels of oxytocin, a kind of hormone which makes them better at handling stress.The research, however, comes from a rat study, and while rats are often used as stand-ins for humans, because they similar biological and genetic characteristics youd have to assume there are diffe
43、rences. The researchers put pairs of rats in cages together for a week and then put each one in a small space for three hours. When they were reunited, the rats were even friendlier to each other than before.Elizabeth Kirby, a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, says: “We cant speak rat, but
44、 we think the rats cant wait to tell their friend that some weird people shut them in a room.” They even touched each other more. But before they could have too much fun, the researchers measured the oxytocin levels in their brains. They found that the levels of oxytocin among rats with mates were h
45、igher. Kirby maintains that there is a takehome message for men who arent rats. Being social increases levels of oxytocin and protects you from being stressed. Men, she says, are sometimes 10accused of having superficial friendship, but her research suggests that a bromance(兄弟情) doesnt have to be de
46、ep to have health benefits. “Any sort of social bonding increases oxytocin levels it doesnt have to be a deep discussion,” she says. So is this the excuse you needed to have a pint with your mates?In the world of human-friend research, men are said to have “shoulder to shoulder” friendships while wo
47、men have “face to face” ones. What this means, says Geoffrey L Greif, who has interviewed 400 men and 120 women about their friendships, is that men like to do things and women like to sit down and chat. “Women will say: My boyfriend went out for dinner and didnt find out his friend was getting divo
48、rced,” says Grief. “Men dont need to express themselves as much as women in friendships.”Many studies show that friendships not only relieve stress but also reduce death from many causes, including heart disease. Also, men with friends are less likely to drink and smoke too much. Another good reason for encouraging bromances.57. It can be learnt from the rat study that _.A. some rats are put together in cages and others in separate cagesB. rats are used for study because they have the same gene as humans.C. a short separation will make people friendli
