　　(2017·辽宁，C)

　　Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can't make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we could find it full of fatigue toxins(霉素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.

　　So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of efforts as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?

　　Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情感的) attitudes. One of England's most outstanding scientists, J. A. Hadfield, says，“The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares，“One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”

　　What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.

　　文章大意：最新的研究发现：持续的脑力劳动并不使人疲劳，真正使人疲劳的是一些精神上的消极情绪。

　　12．What surprised the scientists a few years ago?

　　A．Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood.

　　B．Albert Einstein didn't feel worn out after a day's work.

　　C．The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.

　　D．A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins.

　　答案：C　细节理解题。从第一段的To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all！可知答案。

　　13．According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?

　　A．Challenging mental work.

　　B．Unpleasant emotions.

　　C．Endless tasks.

　　D．Physical labor.

　　答案：B　细节理解题。从第三段的One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.可知答案。

　　14．What's the author's attitude towards the scientists' ideas?

　　A．He agrees with them.

　　B．He doubts them.

　　C．He argues against them.

　　D．He hesitates to accept them.

　　答案：A　推理判断题。从文章的最后一段的We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body可知，作者同意科学家的观点。

　　15．We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to ________.

　　A．have some good food

　　B．enjoy their work

　　C．exercise regularly

　　D．discover fatigue toxins

　　答案：B　推理判断题。从文章的最后一段的A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated——those are the emotions that tire sitting workers.可知推知，要想精力充沛，必须去掉这些负面的东西，而去喜欢工作，享受工作。

They want you to give a loud burp（打饱嗝儿）after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a big burp, you are told to say “Excuse me, please”.

　　In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.

　　What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all.
