They are beautiful, black and white birds that are about two feet tall when fully grown, and they are very popular with the Aquariums visitors. The staff at the Aquarium made a little suppo
10、rt boot for Yellow-Purple from plastic. This supported her left ankle and made it much easier for her to do all the things that penguins like to do. Yellow-Purple was getting along fine with her boot, but then Dr. Jen Flower, Chief Clinical Veterinarian at Mystic Aquarium, heard about 3 D printing t
11、echnology. She decided to use it to help better the boot. Luckily, Mystic Aquariums Vice President of Education &Conservation, Kelly Marls, knew that Mystic Middle School had recently acquired a 3D Systems printer. Kelly reached out to the school and arranged a meeting. Sue Prince, Library Media Spe
12、cialist at Mystic Middle School, and seven middle school students visited Yellow-Purple to learn what was needed, and then contacted the supplier of their 3 D printer, ACT Group.

13、more efficient boot with sculpting software. The final boot design was printed on a 3D printer using multiple materials, allowing the boot to be flexible enough for comfortable movement, yet hard enough to support the injured tendon. The students were thrilled when they saw Yellow-Purple walking alm

17、 lives working and another big part preparing for our careers. Historically, work was rarely seen as a source of meaning and purpose. During the vast majority of our 300, 000-year human evolution(进化), work was in fact pretty simple. We worked to eat and avoid being eaten. Meaning and purpose came fr
18、om somewhere else, like spirituality, art, religion, or science. The idea that we are meant to find meaning at work or to find work meaningful-is a rather modern, if not postmodern, invention. Only one hundred years ago it would have been frequent to see a worker who returned from a typical workday
19、at a factory complain to their folks that they didnt earn much or they were worn out and rare to see that they complain they didnt experience a sense of purpose. Similarly, the idea that we ought to bring our “whole self” to work is a pretty novel and recent form of career advice. Its origins can be
20、 traced to William Kahn who invented the concept of employee engagement 30 years ago. His point was that employees differ in the degree to which they identify with their work role. Some see work as merely a job and clock in and out every day, without bringing their whole self to work. Work is just n
21、ot a core aspect of their identity, and their concept of themselves is built on other social categories like mother, husband, American, Christian, captain of the local soccer team, etc.Others, however, have very low psychological distance with their work role, seeing it as essentially intertwined(交融
22、的) with who they are. They dont just come to work, they are fully devoted to their careers and have a spiritual type of connection with their jobs. They are, it seems, almost possessed by work and are the type of workaholics(工作狂) most companies long for.8Why did we spend much of our adult lives work
23、ing?ATo prepare for future careers. BTo find the water sources.CTo help us evolve. DTo make us survive.9Why did the writer mention the worker a century, ago?ATo help us find meaning at work. BTo prove that the idea was modern.CTo show us the bad old days. DTo complain about the experience.10Which of
24、 the following might William Kahn agree with?AEmployees have different understandings about their work role.BEvery employee must bring their whole self to work.CTo be devoted to work is a pretty novel idea.DWorkers core identity is built on art categories.11What kind of employees do most companies f

Wearing a headset to play a virtual-reality game is fun. As you move your head around, you can see the scene from different angles. Youre in a fake en
26、vironment that seems so real. But the power of VR may go well beyond entertainment. It just might help people who suffer from long time of pain, a new study finds.“If VR can reduce some types of pain, it could become a new cure with fewer side effects than drugs,” says Sam Hughes, a psychologist at
27、Imperial College London. “And it would be 1ess expensive.”Hughes group studies bone and muscle pain. One example is sciatica. Sciatica is a form of pain doctors call chronic pain, which is different from the hurt you feel when you hit your knee against a table or put your hand in very hot water. It
28、is fairly long-1ived pain and may even spread from an initial site to other body parts. The researchers tested the pain-altering effect of virtual reality. Each volunteer accepted some form of temporary pain. The pain came from a special cream applied to the skin. The cream contained capsaicin. Its
29、the chemical in hot peppers that burns your mouth. They then showed the volunteers a movie. Each volunteer would see the movie twice-once in 3D, while wearing a VR headset, and once on a normal 2 D screen. The researchers randomly decided for each volunteer whether they watched the 2D or 3D version
30、first. Using the 2D movie as the comparison allowed them to isolate the effect of VR. Watching the movie in VR reduced the pain in the skin area better than did viewing the movie in 2DVR helped them tolerate more pain in the area of the creamed skin. However, that pain reduction ended a few minutes
31、after removing the VR headsets. The researchers wondered how well VR might reduce other types of pain.12Whats one of the advantages of VR to reduce pain?AIts much safer. BIts more convenient.CIts much faster. DIts more efficient.13What does the underlined word “chronic” mean in Paragraph 3?Asudden B
