3、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order. Sorry."
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news.

Does happiness favor those of a 1 age, sex, or income level? Does happiness come with 2 close relationships?
Social scientists have exploded some myths about who is happy and who is not by identifying predictors of happiness and life satisfaction. Many people believe there are unhappy times of life — typically the stress-filled teen years, the "mid-life crisis" years, or the 3 years of old age. But interviews with people of all ages reveal that no time of life is remarkably happier or unhappier.
4 do change with age: Satisfaction with social relations and health becomes more important in5 life. And teens, 6 adults, typically rebound(反弹) 7 gloom and joy within an hour's time.
Yet knowing someone's age gives no 8 to the person's lasting sense of well-being. Does happiness have a 9 sex? Are men happier because of their greater incomes and social 10 ? Are women happier because of their supposedly 11 capacity for intimacy and social connection? Like age, gender gives no clue to subjective well-being. There are gender gaps when misery strikes: Men more often become alcoholic, while women more often think deeply and get 12 . Yet men and women are equally likely to declare themselves "very happy" and "satisfied" with life. This conclusion is 13 in scores of studies around the world.
Living standards have risen during the past years and are 14 to continue rising in the decades ahead. Does that mean that we humans can look forward to increasing happiness? Not necessarily. Steady improvements in the economy are not 15 by a steady increase in people's appreciation of their own happiness.

The ban on cigarette advertising in the early 1970s in the United States serves as a fascinating case study in the field of public health campaigns and their unintended consequences. Despite the government's intention to discourage smoking and reduce related health risks, the ban led to an unexpected outcome: an increase in cigarette sales for the major tobacco companies.
The reason for this unexpected outcome can be traced to the principles of game theory, particularly the prisoner's dilemma paradox (悖论). Just as in the prisoner's dilemma, where cooperation leads to the best outcome for both parties, the tobacco companies would benefit collectively if none of them advertised. This action would create fairness in competition, ensuring that no individual company gains an edge by advertising.
However, the dilemma arises when considering the potential actions of competitors. If one tobacco company decides to ignore the ban and advertise its products, it stands to gain a significant market share and increased sales compared to its non-advertising competitors. This creates a situation where each company faces the urge to advertise, fearing that their competitors may do the same and leave them at a disadvantage.
In the end, most tobacco companies decided to play it safe and invested in advertising, despite the ban, to avoid being left behind in the competitive landscape. This strategic decision reflects the uncertainty and strategic considerations that shape business decisions, even in the face of regulations aimed at public health goals.
This application of game theory provides valuable insight into the complexities of influencing human behavior through policy interventions. While well-intended efforts such as advertising bans may seem straightforward in theory, the realities of strategic decision-making and competitive dynamics often lead to unforeseen outcomes. As such, understanding the complexities of game theory can provide valuable insight for policymakers seeking to design more effective interventions and address complex societal challenges.
(1)、What is a direct result of the ban in the 1970s?A、Cut in tax income. B、Reduction in health risks. C、Rise in tobacco sales. D、Cooperation of companies.(2)、How can all competitors benefit in the prisoner's dilemma?A、They fully trust each other and follow the regulations. B、They act independently and pursue their own interests. C、They increase their market share at the expense of others. D、They ignore competition and focus on their own strategies.(3)、Why do most tobacco companies finally choose to advertise?A、To avoid intense competition. B、To gain a competitive advantage. C、To shape better business images. D、To achieve public health goals.(4)、What can be the most suitable title for the passage?A、A Good Intention Fails B、A Ban on Cigarette Advertising Ends in Smoke C、A Ban Boosts Public Health D、A Dilemma Concerns Cigarette Campaign -

For most of our history, humans have been short, a study has found. Until around 150 years ago, few people grew taller than 170 centimeters.
Christiane Scheffler at the University of Potsdam and Michael Hermanussen in Altenhof have spent several years studying the height of people from a wide range of populations. In their latest paper, they combined an existing data of more than 6000 prehistoric human skeletons with multiple studies of more recent historical populations from Europe and the US. They also included their own data on 1666 present-day school children from Indonesia.
In the prehistoric populations,the maximum height for men was 165 to 170 centimeters, while women topped out at 160 cm. Today, men in England have an average height of around 175 cm, while for women it is about 162 cm.
But there is significant variation between modern countries. The Indonesian school children in the study were shorter than similarly aged children from the US, despite being well-nourished.
Scheffler and Hermanussen argue that height can be a signal of dominance (显赫地位), so in societies where it is possible to move up through the social classes, evolution favors individuals who reach a greater height.
Subramanian at Harvard University isn't convinced by the pair's interpretation. His team previously showed that the best predictor of a child's height is the height of their parents. This suggests that the influence of other factors, such as social mobility, is limited.
After assessing nearly 163,000 children living in 55 low and middle-income countries, Subramanian's team found that 42.9 percent had poor nutrition but no "sign of stunting" (阻碍发育) or other physical indicators of this fact.
This implies there is a lot of hidden malnutrition that doesn't reveal itself through stunting. A person's nutritional condition should be assessed by looking at their diet not their height, says Subramanian.
(1)、How did Scheffler and Hermanussen conduct the research?A、Studying the skeletons of prehistoric human. B、Combining existing data with recent research. C、Assessing children living in various income areas. D、Analyzing the results of other scientists' researches.(2)、What's Subramanian's attitude towards the explanation of Scheffler and Hermanussen?A、Worried. B、Cautious. C、Doubtful. D、Supportive.(3)、What can we infer from Subramanian's study?A、Poor nutrition delays physical development. B、A balanced diet contributes to growing taller. C、High social classes can reach a greater height. D、A human's height has little to do with nutrition.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、The significance that lies in nutrition. B、The factors that influence human's height. C、The importance that humans attach to height. D、The reasons why prehistoric humans were short. -

Yesterday, after a day of Zoom (视频会议软件) meetings in my living room, I stepped out for a walk leaving my teen son bored on the couch. Bleecker Street, usually packed with people, was sprinkled with only the occasional pedestrians. Bars and restaurants lining the street were dark. Stores with bright neon lights, doors open, beckoned for the rare passers-by to enter. After just a week of the Covid-19 pandemic, an afternoon walk in Greenwich Village neighborhood felt surreal.
But then I noticed a row of daffodils (水仙) reaching for the sun in the small triangle-shaped park by Minetta Lane. On the windows of a locked restaurant, in bright yellow paint, were the words "We love you, West Village. Take care of each other." My phone buzzed — a colleague sent a picture of her newborn baby just home from the hospital. I arrived home to find my son animated on the couch playing a video game virtually with his friends. Life, love, play, and human connection persist, even though our world has been turned upside down.
In my welcome note to the new students in the Fall, I wrote that this year is about our college's core values of inclusion, innovation, and impact and emphasized the power of interconnection. Today, these core values persist, with interconnection taking on even greater significance. Our collaborative spirit has always given us an advantage — academically, creatively, culturally, and now, remotely.
A wise person once told me that getting through a crisis is like being given a new hand of cards in the middle of a game. We are halfway through the semester, with new hands to play, but the game hasn't changed. We will find new ways to continue to work, teach, create and learn. Let's also continue the informal interactions that make us a community — the study groups, coffee dates, drop-ins just to say hello. In doing so, we will remain connected.
We will come together, from spaces around the world, to meet this new reality. This is who we are. Nothing — not space, nor time — can keep us from moving forward, together.
(1)、What can be inferred from paragraph 1?A、The Covid-19 pandemic is unstoppable. B、The effects of the pandemic could be easily felt. C、Nothing is the same except that the business goes slow as usual. D、People have every reason to be worried about the future.(2)、What does the writer include in paragraph 2?A、Daily routines that seemed insignificant. B、Reminders that the world has been changed. C、Events that people can do during the pandemic. D、Things or people that carry symbolic meanings.(3)、What does the underlined word "collaborative" mean in paragraph 3?A、Cooperative. B、Pioneering. C、Independent. D、Adventurous.(4)、What is the main purpose of the text?A、To express wisdom gained from previous experience. B、To give people some tips on how to handle a crisis. C、To deliver an uplifting message over the pandemic. D、To encourage people to enjoy the great outdoors. -

Is an electric vehicle right for you?
Many people will ask themselves that question for the first time this year. Prices are falling, battery range is rising and mainstream brands are adding new EVs at a breakneck pace.
Here are three things anybody seriously considering buying an EV should know:
1. The price to install a 240v charger
Anybody who owns an electric vehicle needs a 240-volt charger at home. With one, you can recharge overnight, so you start every day with the equivalent of a full tank.
Just a few years ago, home 240v EV chargers cost $2,500-$3,000, including installation, but prices have declined as competition grows with the number of EVs on the road.
2. The time it takes to charge
About 80% of miles driven in EVs are powered by electricity charged at home, but you'll need to charge elsewhere occasionally. That's when charging time becomes a big deal, but how long it takes depends on a couple of factors.
First, voltage from the charger. Getting 250 miles of range in seven hours from a 240v charger is fine when you're charging overnight at home, but it's a deal breaker if you're going 300 miles for a weekend getaway. In that case, you'll want to look for a 400v DC fast charger. They're not as common as 240v public chargers yet, but they're becoming more widespread.
There's another factor: the on-board charger. It regulates how fast the battery can accept electricity. A vehicle with a higher-capacity on-board charger accepts electricity faster.
3. Where to charge
Good route-planning apps will help you find chargers on a road trip.
"Most people have no idea how many public charging stations are within, say, a 10- or 15-mile radius (半径) because they're small, people don't look for them or even don't know what to look for, and they're rarely signposted," said journalist John Voelcker, who has studied EVs and charging exhaustively.
4.On the horizon
If an EV doesn't meet your needs now, watch this space. They're coming closer, but large numbers of gasoline vehicles will remain in production for years. Beyond that, companies will keep making spare parts for oil-burners for decades.
(1)、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A、The price of installing a home EV charger has remained stable in the past few years. B、It's quite easy to identify the public charging stations with the help of striking signposts. C、Popular brands are introducing new EVs at an incredibly fast rate. D、An electric vehicle can't provide the same amount of energy as a completely filled fuel tank.(2)、The underlined phrase "watch this space" in the last paragraph probably means "____".A、give up the plan to purchase an EV B、make space for an EV C、find an alternative to EV D、keep an eye out for future developments(3)、This passage is mainly intended to ____.A、illustrate the factors charging time depends on B、offer advice on purchasing an electric vehicle C、look forward to the future of electric vehicles D、explain the reason for the falling prices of electric vehicles -
