He tried hard and he wrote letters to many companies until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris began to lose his confidence, then depressed. Still he went on trying and still he failed.He began to think that he had no future at all.“Why don’t you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money-locker. You’d better find a way of opening it.”“But what can I do?”“Get out and have a look round,” advised his uncle. “See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.”Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to win his good fame. A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good: in the wrong position, too expensive or with some other problems. But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop in a new place where there were plenty of customers but no competition.Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair motor-cycles.

She and her colleagues invited 51 young men into the lab for 3 hours of tests. They showed each man 180 food items on a computer. Each time, they asked the men to judge how healthy, tasty and appealing the food was.Then the researchers stressed out 29 of the men. They did this by asking each to put one hand in ice water for three minutes. If the water was too unpleasant, the volunteers could remove their hands, but must continue looking into a video camera. The men were also encouraged to put their hands back into the cold water. All the while, a researcher watched and videotaped the ordeal (考验). Another 22 men held one hand in warm water. They were not videotaped.Afterward, the researchers showed each man a series of two food items. They did this 210 times. And before making choices, the men were told to choose the healthier of the two items. When the testing was over, the scientists gave the volunteers a snack. Each man got one of the items he had said that he preferred. Despite being coached to choose healthy foods, the stressed men proved more likely to pick the less healthy.The researchers also performed brain scans of the volunteers. It showed what part of the brain was active as they made their choices. “Our findings indicate that stress affects the decision making,” Maier’s team concluded. And it does this by changing two brain pathways. One affects sensory information, such as taste. The other affects a person’s ability to make decisions such as eating what is good for us.More studies will be needed to confirm the new findings. But the early signs suggest that stress not only makes junk food more appealing, but also weakens the brain’s ability to resist eating it.28. How did the scientists mainly get the result?A. By doing experiments.B. By asking questions.C. By conducting surveys.D. By secret observations.29.

They wanted to know the health conditions of them.31. What does the last paragraph imply?A. The new Swiss study is the final conclusion.B. Stress may increase self-control in eating.C. Stress makes junk food more attractive.D. It is easy for stressed people to resist tasty foods.DBritons are increasingly entertaining guests at home with dinner, film and karaoke nights, inspired by television shows on cookery (烹饪术) and home entertainment, according to a survey.More than half (53 percent) of the respondents to a poll (民意测验) of 1,000 Britons across the country said they now prefer to spend quality time with family and friends by inviting them over to their homes rather than meeting in bars and restaurants, the survey by mobile phone operator T-Mobile showed.Popular television shows such as “Come Dine With Me,” where amateur chefs attempt to wow the audience with their culinary (烹调的) skills, “Master Chef” where ordinary people compete to cook to Michelin standards (米其林餐厅评分标准) and a number of celebrity cookery shows have inspired Britons to entertain at home.The poll showed that nearly a third of respondents had spent money on home entertainment improvements such as sofas, dining tables and bigger televisions to impress the guests.“Over the last couple of years, my clients have increasingly asked for home parties rather than ones at independent p laces,” party planning expert Liz Brewer said in a statement accompanying the poll’s results.“This is not only due to a slowing of economic activity but because many have become increasingly house-proud and eager to show off their cooking skills, in addit ion to their latest home entertainment purchases.”Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was the top choice for dream host of respondents, while Prime Minister Gordon Brown was one of the least favored, alongside Conservative leader David Cameron.32.
