单选题 Excitement, fatigue, and anxiety can all be detected from someone's blinks, according to psychologist John Stern {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}Washington University in St. Louis. Stern specialized in the study on these tiny twitches, using them as sensitive {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}of how the brain works. "I use blinks as a psychological measure to make{{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}about thinking because I have very little {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}in what you tell me about what you are thinking." He says. "If I ask you the question, 'what does the phrase a rolling stone gathers no moss mean?' you can't tell me {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}you've started looking for the answer. But I can, by watching your eyes." Blinks also tell Stern when you have understood his question--often long before he's finished asking it--and when you've found an answer or part of {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}. "We blink at times {{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}are psychologically important." He says. "You have listened to a question, you understand it, {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}you can take time out for a blink. Blinks are {{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}marks. Their timing is tied to what is going on in your {{U}} {{U}} 10 {{/U}} {{/U}}." Stern has found that {{U}} {{U}} 11 {{/U}} {{/U}}suppress blinks when they are absorbing or anticipating {{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}}but not when they're reciting it. People blink later, for example, {{U}} {{U}} 13 {{/U}} {{/U}}they have to memorize six numbers instead of two. "You don't blink," he says, "until you have {{U}} {{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}the information to some short-term memory store." And if subjects are cued {{U}} {{U}} 15 {{/U}} {{/U}}the set of numbers is coming, say, five seconds, they'll curb their blinks until the task is {{U}} {{U}} 16 {{/U}} {{/U}}.

单选题 The Kitchen of 2013: Experts Dish A. The reign of the trophy kitchen is officially over. The dream kitchens of today aren't about the sexiest six-burner range or the most exotic countertop material. As cooking has returned to centre stage and remodeling budgets have sobered, the kitchen island is nurturing family togetherness and reviving casual entertaining. B. In kitchens with a small footprint, glass tiles, quartz counters and dish drawers are adding sparkle and practicality. The kitchen of 2013 has soul. 'That industrial, commercial style was looking a little cold,' says Samantha Emmerling, kitchen editor at Hearst Design Group. 'People are spending all their time in there, and they want it warm and inviting, as well as low-maintenance.' C. A kitchen renovation is still costly. The average 2013 kitchen remodeling job is $47308, down $3742 from last year, according to the National KitchenBath Association. Designers say the look today is less tradition, more transition. Clients are choosing more modern touches such as white or gray cabinets, gray walls and neutral quartz counters, individualized with different textures and touches of color. D. 'Ten years ago, everyone showed up with the same photos of what they wanted,' says Paul Lobkovich, an architect and kitchen designer at Lobkovich Kitchen Designs in Tysons Corner. 'Now people are much more creative. They've seen plenty of HGTV shows and scoured Houzz and other Web sites. They have a Pinterest (品趣志，图片社交分享网站) board full of stuff they like. This gives people a wide range of unique looks. And it makes it more exciting for us designers.' E. Yes, the kitchen is still the most obsessed room in the house, but it's clear that homeowners want more than just trends. Homeowners are seeking a calming space that makes them happy. 'Lately it's been less the kind of stars in the eyes approach and a bit more practical with a simplified aesthetic,' says designer Eric Lieberknecht, who owns a kitchen design firm in Alexandria. 'People have a wide portfolio of things they want, and not just what their neighbor has.' F. Nadia Subaran, senior designer at Bethesda's Aidan Design, calls the design direction 'modern cottage.' 'It's not stark modern design,' Subaran says. 'It has natural materials, textures and layering, with lots of whites and grays. There is nothing fussy or decorative about it.' Although stainless still reigns, there is growing interest in white ranges and refrigerators in a new glossy finish, as well as soapstone countertops and floating shelves. G. 'People are really looking to make the most of their space, they want practical and functional,' says Liza Hausman, a vice president at Houzz, a home design Web site and mobile app. The 2013 member survey by the National Kitchen Bath Association identified a menu of some of today's top style choices in kitchens. Here is insider information on seven of them. 1. White Cabinets H. The choice of cabinets is arguably the most important decision when redoing a kitchen. The selection sets the look. In the National KitchenBath Association survey, 67 percent of respondents said that white was their first choice for cabinetry, a jump of 20 percentage points in the past two years. 'Over the years, white is always a popular color and there are times it is the No. 1 color,' says John Morgan, President of the association and owner of kitchen products supplier Morgan Pinnacle in Glyndon, Md. 'I would say that white and dark cherry are both timeless.' 2. Quartz Counters I. According to Lorenzo Marquez, vice president of marketing for Cosentino North America, Silestone's parent company, the most popular colors right now are white and gray. 'Quartz counter is a pretty honest material, and it functions so nicely,' says Washington designer Paul Sherrill of Solis BetancourtSherrill. 'If you don't have a tolerance for natural stone and what it's going to do over time, go for it.' 3. Many Shades of Gray J. Gray seems to be the color of the moment. Although white and off-white are still the top colors, grays are showing up on cabinets, counters and walls. Alexandria color consultant Jean Molesworth Kee of the Painted Room says, 'I'm seeing a lot of quick redos where they are painting old wood cabinets a light gray and totally getting rid of anything Tuscan red or yellow.' But she cautions against gray overload. 'If there is too much gray, it can look really chilly and depressing. You'll think you are stirring your pot in an operating room. You need a lot of white to balance it out.' 4. Led Lighting K. More and more remodeled kitchens now have LED lighting, especially below cabinets. LED bulbs are more efficient and generate little heat. 'We are doing a lot of LED under cabinet lighting,' says Larry Rosen, owner of Jack Rosen Custom Kitchens in Rockville. 'Halogen (卤素) and Xenon (氙) lighting actually burn very hot. If you accidentally touch a bulb, you can burn yourself. LED is more expensive, but they save on electricity, are cool and last a really long time.' 5. Electronic Faucets (水龙头) L. 'When people renovate their kitchen, it's not just functionality and beauty,' says Houzz's Liza Hausman. 'They are thinking about how to include the latest technology.' One of these new toys is the tricked-out faucet. Both touch-activated faucets and hands-free faucets are beginning to appear in kitchen remodeling contracts. According to Tom Tylicki, the Moen MotionSense hands-free faucet responds to consumers' kitchen work styles and helps prevent the spread of germs. It's also a good choice for gardeners whose hands are frequently covered in dirt. 6. Satin Nickel (雾镍) Finishes M. 'Satin nickel is the new oiled bronze,' Sherrill says. For him, the matte nickel finish reflects the increasingly, modernist kitchen look. The survey found that polished nickel and polished chrome (铬) were less requested than last year, and the duller finish was growing in popularity. Some designers feel that this finish best complements stainless steel appliances; others say the gray metal color sets off gray cabinets, counters and walls. 7. Glass Backsplashes (后挡板) N. Glass tiles are the jewelry of a kitchen for Tynesia Hand Smith, a Bloomingdale interior designer. 'They add great shimmer,' she says. With neutral colors ruling in cabinets and counters, glass tile is one way to add color and personality. 'Reds, greens and blues, vibrant colors are trending right now, as is iridescent glass,' says DeeDee Gundberg, an Ann Sacks Tile product development manager. Instead of using the ubiquitous white subway tile backsplash, she suggests substituting large format glass tile in a similar shape. 'Light blue glass tiles are still very traditional with white cabinets but look very fresh,' Gundberg adds.
