I was studying chemistry at college because my family thought it was the key to success. One day,
my professor took me aside and asked a very simple question, “Why are you in
my class when it’s
obvious that you have little or no


11


in chemistry?”

I came up with an explanation by


12


pressure from my dad, but he knew it was just a /an



13


excuse. He gave me the following advice.
“
Success can only be measured by oneself, and each of us is


14

. Your success will not be
the
same
as
mine,
as
your
neighbor’s
or
your
parents’.
There
is
no
secret
formula(
公式
),
no
examination you have to


15

, and no guarantee, but there is a secret ingredient
—


16

. To be
successful
in
life
in
the
broadest
sense,
you
must
pursue
your
passion.


17


it
is
fixing
cars
or
exploring the world, you must be passionate about your


18


and set a path to achieve it. Only
then will you find true


19

.”

Since
I
was
just
nineteen
years
old,
that
was
pretty
profound
advice
to


20

,
but
I
knew
instinctively (
本能地
) that he was


21

. I made a conscious self-examination of my short life to 22



where my passion was hiding. It was so


23


that even my kid sister could have told me my true
passion was music. It was in my genes. I could play the piano by ear, but had


24



considered
music as a hobby.
Could
I
be
a
successful
musician?
Or
a
songwriter?
Or
a
music
critic?
There
was
only
one way
to
find
out,
so
I
took
my
professor’s


25


and switched to the university’s music school. I studied harmony
and
composition,
learned
how
to
play
a
clarinet(
单簧管
)
and


26


the symphony orchestra. I felt as though I was on top of the world, and that


27


has never left
me.

I’m
now
fifty
-four
years
old,
and
a
very
happy
and


28


man. As
I
look
at
the
walls
of
my
small office, I still get a thrill at seeing the records I

29

, the photos of the famous musicians I was
lucky enough to play with, and the praises from many of the finest instrumentalists in the world who I
am honored to call my friends.
Life was a long journey, and not a/an


30


one, but I followed my passion and succeeded.

Everyone at Pacsafe is always eager to get out in the world and enjoy new cultures, food, and
experiences. With that in mind we asked a few of our top travel bugs for their best travel destination
recommendations for 2019. They also included their favorite Pacsafe bag to take on the trip. Enjoy
and hopefully get some ideas for your own globe-trotting adventure.
Sri Lanka---Alison Hanko, Global Marketing Director
I’m going to Sri Lanka this summer holiday and can’t wait. It’s close to Hong Kong where I live
and I’ve always wanted to go. The food is supposed to be amazing
. It seems really relaxing and I really
want to do the Kandy to Badulla train ride, which looks ju
st stunning. We’ve booked a good mix of
beaches, some time in a safari tent to hopefully see elephants in the wild.


For my bag, I’ll most likely take the Quiksilver 40L Pack because it has the built
-in wet pack for
my bikinis. It’s also a great size for
a week-long trip in a warm climate.

Japan ---Ben Barras, Creative Director
Japan
is
definitely
my
best
travel
destination
recommendation.
The
culture,
the
streets,
the
architecture, the inspiration you get from all of that is amazing. The food is also fasc
inating. It’s where
I’m most planning to go. Tokyo obviously, but also visiting the mountains. You can go snowboarding,
which I haven’t done for years.

I have a Vibe 25L Backpack which you can pack a lot in. The thing I like most about it is that it’s
comp
act, but still fits plenty in. I’ll pair that up with a larger travel bag for the rest of my things and
use the backpack to get around day to day.
Berlin---Phil Hayes, Executive VP of Global Design
For me, it’s definitely Berlin. I’m particularly excited a
bout the fashion, which I hear is pretty full
on. Also the art galleries and history. Food, nightlife. Everything I’ve heard about Berlin is pretty cool,
so I’m going to suck as much as I can out of it. World’s Global Style Network had the Berlin shopping
list that came out recently, so I’m going to follow that through as well.

Bag wise, it will be the Quiksilver X Collab Bag. It’s the 25L Anti
-
theft Backpack. It’s normally my
go-
to bag for city trips because it’s super easy to lock on the plane and in bars, and it’s just the right
amount of space.
31. Which of the Pacsafe bag is a good choice for beach travel?
A. The Quiksilver 40L Pack.











B. The Vibe 25L Backpack.
C. The Quiksilver X Collab Bag.






D. 25L Anti-theft Backpack.
32. If you are interested in fashion, which destination should you choose?
A. Sri Lanka.

B. Japan.



C. Hong Kong.
D. Berlin.
33. What can you enjoy in all the three places mentioned?
A. Beautiful beaches.
B. Amazing food.

C. Fascinating art.

D. Cool snowboarding.
34. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. share personal travelling experiences




B. offer practical tips on taking adventure
C. present cultures in different countries




D. recommend favorable travel destinations




































B

On March 25, 2010, Kate and David heard the words every parent dreads: Their newborn wasn’t
going
to
make
it.
Their
twins
—
a
girl
and
a
boy
—
were
born
two
minutes
apart
and
14
weeks
premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but
saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he’d stopped breathing. The baby had just
moments to live.
“I saw him gasp (
喘息
)
, but the doctor said it was no use,” Kate told the
Daily Mail
five years later.
“I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn’t going to give up
easily.”

Still, the couple knew this was likely a goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the
tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him.
“I wanted to

meet him, and for him to know us,” Kate told
Today
. “We’d resigned ourselves to the
fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious
moments.”

Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket
and asked David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to
be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve

his condition. They also
talked to him.
“We were

trying to persuade him to stay,” Kate told the
Daily Mail
. “We explained his name and
that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him.”

Then
something
miraculous
happened.
Jamie
gasped
again
—
and
then
he
started
breathing.
Finally, he reached for his father’s finger.

The couple’s lost boy had made it.

“We’re the luckiest people in the world,” David told
Today
.
Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The couple only recently told
the kids th
e story of their birth. “Emily burst into tears,” Kate said. “She was really upset, and she kept
hugging Jamie. This whole experience makes you cherish them more.”

35. What can we learn about the newborn babies?
A. The boy’s heart had stopped beating.

B. The boy was 2 minutes older than the girl.
C. The twins were born 14 weeks before the due date.
D. The twins were expected to live for only 20 minutes.
36. When the couple knew they would lose the boy, they ________.
A. begged the doctor to save him

B. took his shirt off and then put him in bed

C. wrapped him with his blanket to keep him warm
D. talked to him and made close physical contact with him
37. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. The Power of Hug.



















B. The Miracle of Love.
C. The Bond Between Twins.













D. The Responsibility of Parents.

C
It’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to
look
back
at
observers,
following
them
with
her
eyes
no
matter
where
they
stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.

A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at
an
angle
that’s
15.4
degrees
off
to
the
observer’s
right—
well
outside
of
the
range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words,
said the study author,
Horstmann, “She’s not looking at you.” This is somewhat ironic, because the
entire
phenomenon
of
a
person’s
gaze
(
凝视
)
in
a
photograph
or
painting
seeming
to
follow
the
viewer is called th
e “Mona Lisa effect” . That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is
illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle
will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person’
s gaze is no more than about 5
degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.
This is important for human interaction with on-screen characters. If you want someone off to the
right side of a room to feel that a person on-screen is looking at him
or her, you don’t cut the gaze of
the character to that side
—surprisingly, doing so would make an observer feel like the character isn’t
looking at anyone in the room at all. Instead, you keep the gaze straight ahead.
Horstmann
and
his
co-author
were
studying
this
effect
for
its
application
in
the
creation
of
artificial-intelligence
avatars(
虚拟头像
)
when
Horstmann
took
a
long
look
at
the
“Mona
Lisa”
and
realized she wasn
’
t looking at him.
To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona
Lisa”
on
a
computer
screen.
They
set
a
ruler
between
the
viewer
an
d
the
screen
and
asked
the
participants to note which number on the ruler intersected Mona Lisa’s gaze. To calculate the angle of
Mona
Lisa’s
gaze
as
she
looked
at
the
viewer,
they
moved
the
ruler
farther
from
or
closer
to
the
screen during the study. Consistently, the researchers found, participants judged that the woman in
the “Mona Lisa” portrait was not looking straight at them, but slightly off to their right.

So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t
sure.
It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking
straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it
was a cool name.

38. It is generally believed
that the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa”___________.

A. attracts the viewers to look back












B. seems mysterious because of her eyes
C. fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers






D. looks at the viewers wherever they stand
39. What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?





















A.

















B.

















C.

















D.
40. The experiment involving 24 people was conducted to______.



A. confirm Horstmann’s belief




B. create artificial- intelligence avatars



C. calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze




D. explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied
41. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Horstmann
thinks it’s cool to coin the term “Mona Lisa effect”.

B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.
C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.
D. The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers
’
judgement.

What a Messy Desk Says About You
For
some
time,
psychologists
have
been
studying
how
personality
traits
affect
health
and
health-related
choices.
Not
surprisingly,
they
have
found
that
people
blessed
with
innate
conscientiousness,
meaning
that
they
are
organized
and
predictable,
typically
eat
better
and
live
longer than people who are disorderly. They also tend to have

immaculate
offices.
What has been less clear is whether neat environments can produce good habits even in those
who aren’t necessarily innately conscientious. To find out,
researchers at the University of Minnesota
conducted
a
series
of
experiments.
In
the
first
experiment,
they
randomly
assigned
a
group
of
college-age students to spend time in

two

office spaces, one of which was very neat, the other wildly
cluttered
(
乱堆
)
with
papers
and
other
work-related
stuff.
The
students
spent
their
time
filling
out
questionnaires unrelated to the study. After 10 minutes, they were told they could leave with an apple
or a chocolate bar. Those students who sat in the orderly office
were twice as likely to choose the
apple as those who sat among the mess.
A second experiment, however, found that working in chaos has its advantages, too. In this one,
college
students
were
placed
in
a
messy
or
a
neat
office
and
asked
to
dream
up
new
uses
for
Ping-Pong
balls.
Those
in
messy
spaces
generated
ideas
that
were
significantly
more
creative,
according to two independent judges, than those in offices where stacks of papers and other objects
were neatly arranged.
