He had a point, according to Charles Spence, head of Crossmodal Research Laboratory at the University of Oxford.The professor’s work focuses on how our brains sense the world around us. His research has shown thathigh-frequency sounds and curved shapes seem to increase the sweetness wine tastes better if it is accompanied by the popping sound of a cork and drunk from all these created multisensory experiences.So, what’s his advice if you want to impress this holiday season?Bulk it up hide“We’ve just published research on eating a box of chocolates,” Mr. Spence said. “If you are 30-gram weight in a box of chocolates, that weight translates to a significant increase perceived(感知)quality of the chocolate.”There are exceptions, but the association between weight and the perception of luxury(奢侈)applies to manyitems including tableware, perfume(香水)and wine, Mr. Spence said. “That's why i n a restaurant,a waiter might artfully give you the bottle to weigh in your hand,” he added.Black is basicBlack is the color most associated with luxury because, Mr. Spence said,“it seems to be the color that we perceive to be the heaviest.”Such luxury indications are learned, rather than inborn, so they can change over time. I’m doing a lot of work on transparency(透明)at the moment; high-quality packaged goods should have a transparent window because it suggests freshness or quality,” he said.But the trend is recent,the professor added, because “traditionally luxury goods used to have nontransparent packaging. I think it has to do with the current desire for originality.”Layer it onUnnecessary wrapping(包裹)can be an ecological concern but, when it comes to luxury goods like wine in a presentation case, it does make an impression.“Tissue layers are really good,” Mr. Spence said,“because the crinkle adds an extra sense to the experience.”Consider a little perfume in the box or wrapping, and, if you want to involve other senses, work out some way for classical music to be playing when the gift is opened because we associate it with quality.Engaging several senses at once is beneficial. “The brain combines the inputs from each sense, both to determine wha t something is, but also to determine a reward value,” Mr. Spence said. Also, the more stimuli(刺激)to the senses, the more activity is produced in the orbitofrontal cortex, a small part of brain situated just beside the eyes. And the more activity there, the more rewarding something is perceived to be.You can go too far“Engaging an extra sense is more effective, but you can potentially have a disagreement if that extra sense doesn’t match the others.” the professor said.四、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式Famous British physicist Stephen Hawking, 1 mental genius and physical disability made him a household name and inspiration across the globe, has died at age 76.Propelled(推动)to superstar by his 1988 book A Brief History of Time, which became 2 unlikely worldwide bestseller, Hawking devoted 3 (he)to unlocking the secrets of the Universe. His genius and wit4 (win)over fans from far beyond the world of astrophysics, earning comparisons with Albert Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton.Hawking died 5 (peaceful)at his home in the British university city of Cambridge in the early hours of Wednesday morning.“We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today,” professor Hawking’s children said in a statement 6 (carry)by Bri tain’s Press Association news agency. “He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live 7 for many years.”Hawking refused to accept the predictions that he would only live for a few years after developing a form of motor neurone disease in his early 8 (twenty). The illness gradually robbed him of mobility, 9 (leave)him confined to a wheelchair, almost completely paralysed and unable to speak except through his voice synthesiser(合成器).“His courage and persist ence with his brilliance and 10 (humorous)inspired people across the world,” his family said.五、短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

While we all have weak points, the person with an inferiority complex will focus on these weaknesses and use them to evaluate their overall worth. As a result, they see themselves generally less important or successful than others.In some cases inferiority complex can lead to overcompensation. Here the individual does everything in his power to overcome his inferiority and this can mean that they end up in highly successful jobs, gaining great wealthand succeeding in powerful relationships. However while such a person might be a high achiever, a sense of inferiority will mean that they will always be less happy than they could be and it may have other negative impacts on their life.Another possible outcome of an inferiority complex is that the individual ends up backing down from difficult situations and acting without any sense of worth or entitlement(权利). Here the person’s low self belief changes the way he behaves, and that in turn changes the way he is treated by others which in turn results in him actually becoming inferior in some ways.There are many factors that may lead to inferiority, but they tend to be the result of conditioned beliefs that come from continuous failure or criticism. Often parental attitudes can result in an inferiority complex if the child did not receive the right encouragement or unconditional love when growing up. In some cases an inferiority complex could also arise as a result of some kind of defect(缺陷)either physical or mental.If you are suffering from an inferiority complex, it's time that you did something about it.One of the very best ways to improve your self esteem is to find a loving partner. This is a great way to make you more confident as he or she will love you for who you are and always be there to support you and increase your confidence. Another is to take up a hobby. Find one thing that you are good at and then get your confidence from that. For instance, you might choose to take up a sport or woodwork, and then you can practice getting better at that and gain more confidence. Moreover, you can turn to self-help book. If you find the right books and follow the advice carefully, then it is possible to transform the way you view yourself and the way you present yourself.四、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式China’s educational and he alth authorities have banned convenience stores in all kindergartens, primary, middle and high schools across the country. The regulation took effect on April 1.The campus convenience store is a place 1 many students enjoy a snack and a chat. But it will soon become 2 thing of the past. It requires that administrators should keep record of each meal and solve any food problems as soon as possible. Parents can also eat with students at school canteens and give 3 (suggest)to the school on food safety and nutrition. The regulation raised heated debates.Many students were sad about the ban. They said the campus life would be less interesting 4 convenience stores, and they wouldn’t be able to have different flavored drinks or desserts. 5 , many parents expressed support for the regulation. The father surnamed Fang said, “cheap, low-quality snacks sold at these stores are 6 (harm)to children’s health ,and students rush to shops to buy snacks as soon as a class is over, which affect s the normal teaching order” .The move comes among food health concerns at public schools and 7 (design)to meet the nutritional needs of students. The regulation also requires schools 8 (monitor)students who may be obese, and intervene(干预)to make sure they follow a healthy diet. And in fact many foreign countries have their own ways to make students eat 9 (healthy). For example, many parents in Australia volunteer in schools, sometimes in canteens, do their best to see that 10 (they)chi ldren are served nutritious food. In Japan, there is “food and nutrition education”. This helps childre n acquire “a sense of gratitude” and “appreciate foods and social manners.”五、短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

We all need to find our tribe.Research has shown that among the benefits that come with being in a relationship or group, feeling accepted is regarded as the most important driver of meaning. When other people think you matter and treat you as if you matter, you believe you matter, too.Though we all share a need to belong, in the first decades of the 20th century, many influential psychologists and physicians did not acknowledge this fundamental aspect of human nature. The idea that children needed parental love and care to live a full and meaningful life was not only considered medically dangerous, but also dismissed as immoral and disgusting.As behavioral psychology came into fashion and academic psychologists turned their attention to child- raising, this view shifted and they began to examine and affirm the vital importance of attachment in early life. They discovered that people, whatever their age, needed more than food and shelter to live full and healthy lives.But, sadly, many of us lack close ties. At a time when we are more connected digitally than ever before, rates of social isolation are rising. The results of an Age UK poll published recently suggest that half a million peopleov er the age of 60 usually spend each day alone, and it’s not unusual for ano ther half a million people to go without someone to speak to for five or six days. All these figures reveal more than a rise in loneliness — they reveal a lackof meaning in people’s lives. In surveys, we list our close relationships as our most important sources of meaning. Research shows that people who are lonely and isolated feel their lives are less meaningful.While close relationships are critical for living a meaningful life, they are not the only important social bonds we need to cultivate. Psychol ogists have also discovered the value of small moments of intimacy. “High-quality connections”, as one researcher calls them, are positive, short-term interactions between two people when a couple holds hands on a walk or when two strangers have an empathetic(移情作用的)conversation on a plane.High-quality connections have the potential to unlock meaning in our interactions with acquaintances, colleagues and strangers. We can’t control w hether someone will make a high-quality connection with us, but we can all choose to start one. We can say hello to a stranger on the street rather than look away. We can choose to value people rather than devalue them. We can invite people to belong.四、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式It was in 1897 that a European chemist 1 (call)Dr. Felix Hoffmann produced aspirin from a chemical.

He had a point, according to Charles Spence, head of Crossmodal Research Laboratory at the University of Oxford.The professor’s work focuses on how our brains sense the world around us. His research has shown thathigh-frequency sounds and curved shapes seem to increase the sweetness wine tastes better if it is accompanied by the popping sound of a cork and drunk from all these created multisensory experiences.So, what’s his advice if you want to impress this holiday season?Bulk it up hide“We’ve just published resear ch on eating a box of chocolates,” Mr. Spence said. “If you are 30-gram weight in a box of chocolates, that weight translates to a significant increase perceived(感知)quality of the chocolate.”There are exceptions, but the association between weight and the perception of luxury(奢侈)applies to many items including tableware, perfume(香水)and wine, Mr. Spence said. “That’s why in a restaurant,a waiter might artfully give you the bottle to weigh in your hand,” he added.Black is basicBlack is the color most associated with luxury because, Mr. Spence said, “it seems to be the color that we perceive to be the heaviest.”Such luxury indications are learned, rather than inborn, so they can change over time. I’m doing a lot of work on transparency(透明) at the moment; high-quality packaged goods should have a transparent window because it suggests freshness or quality,” he said.But the trend is recent, the professor added, because “traditionally luxury goods used to have nontransparent packaging. I think it has to do wit h the current desire for originality.”Layer it onUnnecessary wrapping(包裹)can be an ecological concern but, when it comes to luxury goods like wine in a presentation case, it does make an impression.“Tissue layers are really good,” Mr. Spence said, “beca use the crinkle adds an extra sense to the experien ce.”Consider a little perfume in the box or wrapping, and, if you want to involve other senses, work out some way for classical music to be playing when the gift is opened because we associate it with quality.Engaging several senses at once is beneficial. “The brain combines the inputs from each sense, both to determine what something is, but also to determine a reward value,” Mr. Spence said. Also, the more stimuli(刺激)to the senses, the more activity is produced in the orbitofrontal cortex, a small part of brain situated just beside the eyes. And the more activity there, the more rewarding something is perceived to be.You can go too far“Engaging an extra sense is more effective, but you can potentially have a disagreement if that extra sense doesn’t match the others.” the professor said.四、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式I recently became friends with a young man 1 had just migrated to Australia to escape war in his homeland.
