11、eas, 10 teams of student groups competed at URs Hult Prize competition on Nov.3 to skip the selection process for the regional competition.“If you ever had a crazy idea or passion, now it is time to explore it.” senior and Hult Prize competitor Sharfuz Shifat said.The Hult Prize is an inte
12、rnational competition where undergraduate and graduate students alike compete to win a $1 million prize to start a company based on their ideas.For many competitors, this competition is an outlet for innovative and novel ideas that can speed up change in the world.“I believe in social entrepreneursh
13、ip and the power of business to create social change,” said senior Shelly Chen from Team Boodana.In addition to wanting to make a lasting social effect, some competitors have personal connections to their ideas and a strong motivation to bring them to reality.“Were passionate about this be
14、cause it comes from our life,” sophomore Cherine Ghazouani and Team Forty-Two member said.“Were trying to make our familys, our countrys and our peoples lives better.”After the event, the award ceremony announced the winner: the first and second runner-ups as
15、Team BestBeing, Team Forty-Two and Team Boodana, respectively.Although the ruling ideas of the winners were meant to provide jobs for unemployed youth, many of the proposed solutions also handled other problems in todays society.Team Forty-Two worked on re-inventing the impractical tutorin
16、g system in Mediterranean countries; Team BestBeing aimed to provide a solution for the lack of availability of mental health services all over the world.“Usually some of the most simple but practical solutions are the ones that are the most beautiful and effective,” judge Anna Schreyer said.“The ch

20、 put a drag on an entire day.What separates a good queuing experience from a bad one, however, is not just the speed of the line.How the wait makes us feel and line fairness (nobody likes line-jumpers) can have a greater impact on our feeling (感觉) of a queue than the amount of time we spend in it.An
21、d while waiting time is often hard to cut down, feeling can be changed with good line design and management.“A wait is a psychological (心理的) state,” Don Norman, a user experience pioneer and director of The Design Lab at UCSD, said,“In that way, its a matter of design, trying to understand
22、 not only the psychology of the people waiting but also their boredom and frustration.It requires a human-centered design perspective (观点), from the points of view of both the people doing the service and the people waiting in line.That isnt hard, but you have to develop a sensitivity to i
23、t or realize why it might be important.”When it comes to waiting, feeling is more important than reality.To understand how, think of the mirrors that often line an elevator hall.The story goes that they started being installed during the postwar boom in highrise buildings as a response to complaints
24、 of long waits for the elevator.“Putting mirrors next to elevators is a way to distract people for a minute or two so they can adjust their ties or their hair and make sure theyre looking great,” Richard Larson, a queuing theory expert and professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Techno
25、logy, said in a phone interview.A similar example comes from another story about an airport getting complaints for the long waits for the baggage.After trying, fruitlessly, to make baggage delivery faster, the airport simply moved the arrival gates outside of the main terminal, making people walk si
26、x times longer to get their bags.Time was spent walking instead of waiting around and complaints dropped to almost zero.24.Which of the following may upset people most when they are queuing up?A.The line is too slow. B.The line is too long.C.They cant jump the line. D.Someone jumps a queue
27、.25.What is a good line design and management according to Norman? A.A line that is not easy to reach.B.A design that centers on the human.C.A design that people cannot be too sensitive to.D.A design that only take surroundings into consideration.26.What does the underlined word “distract” in paragr
28、aph 3 mean?A.Observe. B.Encourage. C.Shift. D.Comfort.CWherever agriculture has been practiced, pests have attacked and destroyed part or even all of the crop.In modern age, the term pest includes animals (mostly insects), plants, bacteria, and viruses.Human efforts to control pests have a long hist
29、ory.Even in Neolithic times (新石器时代), farmers practiced a form of biological pest control involving the more or less unconscious selection of seed from resistant plants.The scientific study of pests was not undertaken until the 17th and 18th centuries.In his Natural History, the Roman author Pliny th
30、e Elder describes picking insects from plants by hand and spraying.The first successful large-scale battle against a serious disease by chemical means was in Europe in the 1840s.The disease, brought from the Americas, was controlled first by spraying pesticide (农药).Another serious outbreak caused fo

32、, published in 1860.Though farmers were well aware that insects caused losses, Curtis was the first writer to call attention to their significant economic impact.The successful battle for control of the Colorado potato beetle (甲壳虫) of the western United States also occurred in the 19th century.When miners and pioneers brought the potato into the Colorado region, the beetle fell upon this crop and became a severe pest, spreading steadily eastward and ruining crops, until it reached the Atlantic.It crossed the ocean and eventually established itself in Europe.But an American
