A
The “old school of thought” here in China is that it is dangerous to buy online, that the products are often fake(假冒的), and that you will often lose your money.Based on my experience, this manner of thinking is definitely out-of-date.Taobao has a system for reviewing sellers and helping you pick the responsible ones.In the last few years, I have bought many things online.Some of the things I bought online were expensive and many of my Chinese friends were really shocked that I would use Taobao.You might think living in a foreign country means you will be lonely at times, but I most enjoy chatting online with the sellers and especially enjoy the casual online language of Taobao.I particularly like being called “Qin”！This is an abbreviated(简短的)form of “dear” which is a familiar greeting on Taobao.I once bought an expensive computer from Taobao and the seller turned out to be living just down the street, so I was invited to pick it up at their home.Yes, there was the computer running in the kitchen where the woman of the house was preparing dinner.She carefully loaded the Chinese service pack on to the computer and explained how to use it.Two days later I returned to buy some acceories(附件)and met her husband, a friendly young man, who was very interested in what I was doing in Dalian.If I am very clever with my Chinese, sometimes Taobao people will not know I am a foreigner, but the woman found out because my Chinese name is not commonly used by Chinese people.We had a wonderful time chatting, and I also wrote a great review for them.31.In the first paragraph, the author implies that many Chinese people believe that online sellers ______.A.have enough measures to protect buyers
B.are not honest and may cheat customers

If you think fridges of the future will just be bigger, more efficient white boxes to keep your food cool, then think again.Designers at Haier have come up with a new touch-screen, interactive(交互式的)fridge, which knows more about your food than you do.With a large, high-tech display, people simply tap the screen and load new items onto the fridge’s database.The fridge can then use the database to recommend recipes with the items available.It even warns users, if the food is about to go out of date.It can also keep track of all food stored, and recognizes the food you put inside it.The display screen is
semi-transparent(半透明的), allowing users to see the screen and also just make out the food behind it.It also gives users the choice to tap over an item in the fridge, and play an advertisement relating to the product, although there are question marks over just how popular this feature would be.Designers say the screen is good for the environment as you don’t need to open the fridge to see what’s inside, so the fridge doesn’t need to use energy to cool itself down again.It’s been on show in Berlin, although there aren’t any plans to bring it on the market just yet.It wasn’t the only eyes and even change the channel, if you give it a nod.The Eye Control TV comes with a large device in front of your TV.With a determined blink of your eyes, you can change channels, change the volume or power your TV off.39.What’s mainly talked about in the text?

Nostalgia(怀旧)could be an effective way to fight cold temperatures, according to new research that shows the heart-warming feeling has real body-warming effects.“Nostalgia is experienced frequently by everyone, and we know that it can maintain(保持)psychological comfort.For example, nostalgia can fight loneline,” Tim Wildschut, a psychology researcher of the University of Southampton in England, explained in a statement.“We wanted to take a step further and ae whether it can also maintain physiological comfort.”
Wildschut and his colleagues set up several experiments to examine the link between nostalgia and temperature.In one study, volunteers kept a log of their feelings over 30 days, showing that they tended to
feel more nostalgic on colder days.In another study, participants were placed in a cold room, instructed to recall(回忆)either a nostalgic or ordinary event from their past, and then asked to gue the temperature of the room.Those filled with nostalgia generally estimated(估计)that the room was warmer, the researchers said.Another experiment also had one set of participants recall a nostalgic event and the others an ordinary event.But instead of gueing the temperature of a cold room, the volunteers placed their hand in ice-cold water to see how long they could stand it.The nostalgic participants had a greater tolerance to the cold, the researchers found.“Our study has shown that nostalgia serves a homeostatic(自动平衡的)function, allowing the mental simulation(模拟)of previously enjoyable states, including states of bodily comfort, in this case making us feel warmer or increasing our tolerance to cold,” Wildschut said.“More research is now needed to see if nostalgia can fight other forms of physical discomfort, besides low temperature.”
44.Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?
A.Nostalgia can make us feel good mentally.B.Nostalgia affects people in different ways.C.Not everyone can experience nostalgia.D.Nostalgia makes us feel lonely.45.What do we know from the third experiment?

C.A good way to cure coldD.A heart-warming feeling
