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 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.'

单选题Language learning is a slow process, which ______ a lot of effort, time and patience.

单选题Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to undergo an intensive training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose—school work, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding. There are still some remote places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves. We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be enormous. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes, that his writing will be read. We want to arouse (引起) and hold the interest of the readers. We want whatever we write to be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into some "letters-to-be-read" file or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.
