单选题Another thing an astronaut has to learn about is eating in space. Food is weightless, just as men are. Food for space has to be packed in special ways. Some of it goes into tubes that a man can squeeze into his mouth. Bite-sized cookies are packed in plastic. There is a good reason for covering each bite. The plastic keeps pieces of food from travelling in the spaceship. On the earth very small pieces of food would simply fall to the floor. But gravity doesn' t pull them to the floor when they are out of the plastic in a spaceship. (78) They move here and there and can get into a man' s eyes or into the spaceship' s instruments. If any of the instruments is blocked, the astronauts may have trouble getting safely home. As astronauts travel on longer space trips, he must take time to sleep. An astronaut can fit himself to his seat with a kind of seat belt. Or, if he wants to, he can sleep in a sleeping bag which is fixed in place under his seat. But be careful he must put his hands under the belt when he goes to sleep. This is because he is really afraid that he might touch one of controls that isn' t supposed to be touched until later.

单选题What is the main idea of the third paragraph?

单选题People don"t always go to coffee shops just for a drink, but to spend time with friends or read a book. This "coffee shop culture" is very popular in the UK and it is a fantastic way to spend time with loved ones. It isn"t popular everywhere, though. There are around 15,000 coffee shops in the UK. On the main street of my home city, Edinburgh, there are at least five quite large coffee shops. Heading away from the main street you are still never more than a five-or-ten-minute walk to the nearest cafe. Most coffee shops have a cozy atmosphere. They are places where you can sit for hours as you sip (小口喝) your coffee. People go with friends and family to chat and relax after going shopping, or meet up just for a gossip. Alternatively, many people go alone. Coffee shops are great places to read in peace, or to sit and write. And with free Wi-Fi in many places, it is not difficult to spend a lot of time in a coffee shop. In Colombia, however, the coffee shop culture does not really exist, or, at least, is still very new. Famous for its coffee I imagined that even the tiniest Colombian village would have a coffee shop. I mean, they do exist but they are nowhere near as common as I had expected. The ones that do exist are very different from those in the UK. They are places where you go in, have a quick drink and then leave immediately. Nobody spends the afternoon enjoying a peaceful moment. People never seem to come in for a leisurely drink but for a quick—almost business-like—meeting, even if they are with family or friends. The idea that a person would go to a coffee shop alone is, apparently, ridiculous. Every time I go alone with a book, other customers look at me as if I had horns. I could be painting a wrong picture, of course. This may be the culture only in Pasto, where I live; other Colombian cities perhaps have a more developed coffee shop culture.

单选题According to the first paragraph, we can say that ______.

单选题 When studying human talent, the temptation is usually to concentrate on the upper reaches. Understandably so. We all admire the Einsteins and Mozarts of this world and 25 to imitate them. In comparison, studying the opposite end of the spectrum might seem pointless, patronizing (摆出高人一等的派头) or downright tasteless. Lack of intelligence is shameful enough without treating people like lab rats. Yet it often takes a different viewpoint to find new insights into an old problem. Stupidity is too important and interesting to ignore. The science of stupidity is producing results that 26 our concepts of intelligence and that should be humbling for many of the smart people who run the world. It turns out that a tendency for entertaining 27 , foolish or illogical ideas is not necessarily the result of a low IQ. This measure of intelligence is largely 28 of rationality. Just because you score on the high end of one scale doesn't mean that you won't fall at the bottom of the other, Importantly, no one is 29 to the biases that lead to stupid decisions. Yet our respect for IQ and education means that it is easy to rest on the laurels (荣誉) of our qualifications and assume that we are, by definition, not stupid. That can be 30 on a personal level: Regardless of IQ, people who score badly on rationality tests are more likely to have unplanned pregnancies or fall into serious debt. Large scale stupidity is even more damaging. Business cultures that 31 encourage it, for example, may have contributed to the economic crisis. Indeed, the effects may have been so damaging precisely because banks assumed that intelligent people act logically while at the same time rewarding rash behavior based on intuition rather than 32 . As one researcher puts it. 'The more intelligent someone is, the more disastrous the results of their stupidity.' The same surely applies to politicians: The tenth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq serves as a 33 that clever people can do monumentally stupid things. If we want to avoid making similar mistakes in the future, everybody—especially the most intelligent and powerful—would do well to humbly 34 their own weaknesses. To quote Oscar Wilde: 'There is no sin except stupidity.' A. acknowledge B. aspire C. challenge D. commemorate E. damaging F. deliberation G. immune H. inadvertently I. independent J. negligible K. nomination L. perpetually M. rash N. recipient O. reminder
