About one in five people grew impatient at the back of the queue and switched to the other line in the hope of speeding thing
2、s up.C. Do you hold your nerve and stay put, switch to another line in the hope it moves faster, or give up altogether?D. Based on his study, Buell says people should think hard about switching queues when they are the last in a line.E. In an unpublished working paper on the research, Buell notes th
3、at people tend to feel unhappiest at the back of a queue for the first 10 seconds or so.F. Although the number of people behind you has nothing to do with how long you are going to wait, it shapes your behavior. No one enjoys the moment. You are stuck at the back of a queue and as those in other lin
4、es move ahead and get served, the time to decide arrives. _ This question has now been solved by researchers at Harvard Business School. According to what they have found in a new study, they suggest people think twice before switching queues. The research was led by Ryan Buell, an expert in service
5、 management. He looked into consumer queuing behavior after working with economists on what is known as “last-place aversion,” the discomfort people feel when they know they earn less than others or consider themselves at the bottom of the social pile for some other reason. As a result of this avers
6、ion to being the last, when a person finds himself at the end of a queue, he can make decisions that he will later regret. Buell began by observing people at a multi-checkout grocery store and then set up an online survey. People who took part in the survey were told it would take about five minutes
7、. In reality, it took only one minute, but when participants logged in for the survey, they were forced to wait in a virtual queue displayed on the screen. They started at the back and could wait, switch to a second queue or choose to leave._On average, however, those who switched waited 10 percent
8、longer than if they had stayed put. Those who switched twice ended up waiting 67 percent longer than if they had never moved. “When we join a queue, we tend to make the most rational choice we can, which means joining the shortest queue. _Unfortunately, we can often get it wrong,” said Buell._After
9、that, the aversion fades. The researcher suggests people have a chat with the person in front so that they can pass the time more comfortably until someone else joins behind them. “Remember that the person in front of you was the last until you arrived, so someone will show up if you hang around lon

13、me alive The Palace Museum Director Shan Jixiang delivered a cultural heritage speech on Feb 27 in Beijing, which was co-organized by the Beijing Diplomatic Service Bureau and Beijing Housing Service Corporation for Diplomatic Missions._ On the theme The World of the Palace Museum and the Palace Mus
14、eum of the World, the 64-year-old director shared his ideas about how to make traditional treasures come alive again. During the speech, which lasted two and a half hours, Shan touched on topics including upgrading museum infrastructure(基础设施), restoring cultural sites, digitalizing online museums, s
15、etting up restoration hospitals, providing better visitor experiences and promoting the Palace Museums cultural items. “The abundant collection of cultural objects at the Palace Museum is the inspiration for the creative souvenirs and cultural items available,” Shan said. “_” Throughout 2017, the to
16、tal sales of Palace Museums cultural items have been more than 1 billion yuan ($158million). Explaining the huge success of Palace Museums cultural souvenirs, Shan said: “The museum opened a shop on the e-commerce website Taobao in 2008, but sales remained neither high nor low for years, as more tha
17、n 80 percent of the souvenirs sold in stores in the past were not related to our museum.” “Therefore, I wanted to change the situation. Now, souvenirs from the Palace Museum cover almost every aspect of life. After all, what matters to a museum is not how many visitors they have, but how close they
18、are to peoples daily lives.”_Around 200 “doctors” are employed to analyze, examine, detect flaws or damage in ancient objects and restore them using more than 100 pieces of specialized equipment, including 3-D printers and scanners. The restoration hospital covers 13,000 square meters and boasts the
19、 nations most advanced restoration workshops. John Aquilina, Maltas ambassador to China said that Shans speech showed a totally different Palace Museum to foreign people. “China enjoys a long and profound culture and many of the national treasures have been preserved at the Palace Museum. It is no e
20、asy task to preserve them well. _”3.Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.

But if you begin to enter this field, imitation proves useful.F. If you are going to follow someone, focu
22、s on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors. Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable. In the early stages of skill or character developmen
23、t, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. _ Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a childs bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without re
24、lying on them. _If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others. In the field of entertainment, ou

But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. _ Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you
26、 most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. _The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what
27、to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination. Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve you. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering me on.”4.Directi
