27、Glace Bay,Nova Scotia,had always been wanting to repair the roof of Jeanette MacDonalds home.Whenever he drove past the womans home,he assumed that the roof was under repair because the job had already been taken on by another group of repairman-but as the weeks wore on,the roof continued to worsen
28、without any signs of repair.“I had it in my mind that if no one steps up to help this lady in our community,I d be more than happy to,Locke told CBC.When Locke finally reached out to MacDonalds about fixing her roof for free,however she politely declined his offer because she did not like to accept
29、charity.That being said,she had already applied for government grant（补助金）to fix the roof and she said she was more than happy to hire Locke once her grant application was approved.Unfortunately,MacDonald never received the approval.As the stubborn Canadian senior refused to accept any assistance fro
30、m Locke,the sympathetic construction worker played an innocent trick in order to get her to accept his help.He invited MacDonald to enter a raffle（抽奖活动）that his business was holding for a free roof.After the grandmother-of-four accepted one of the raffle tickets,Locke told her that she was the winne

35、light saving time.This strange practice has an interesting history.In 1784,Benjamin Franklin published a critical essay in a French newspaper suggesting that Parisians could save$200 million through“the economy of using sunshine instead of candles”.Therefore,many people owe the origin of the idea of
36、 daylight saving time to our Founding Fathers writings.In the United States,the clock changing practice began just over 100 years ago,in 1918,when Congress decided to control time by passing the Standard Time Act to save energy and create time zones.Back then,coal was our top energy source and ensur
37、ing that Americans had more daylight working hours made sense.In 2008,the U.S.Department of Energy assessed the effect of observing daylight saving time on national energy consumption.It found that resetting our clocks amounts to a reduction in our total energy consumption of 0.02%.The study also de
38、termined that sticking with one time could actually save about 0.5%of electricity per day nationwide.Apart from this,the risk of heart attack increases 10%in the days following springing forward,most likely caused by the interruption of biological rhythms.Studies also indicate we are more likely to
39、get sick,we are less productive,and frankly we are just exhausted directly following the time change.It is hard to explain why we still change our clocks.Perhaps it is due to special interests.Congress passed the Energy Act of 2005,which extended the length of 北京新东方中小学全科教育出品 12 daylight saving time
40、an extra week in the fall,in large part due to an effort by candy producers to allow for an additional daylight hour on the night of Halloween for trick-or-treating.This May,we sought to end this ancient practice.It would have allowed Texans to vote whether to stay on standard time year-round or day
41、light saving time year-round.Our proposal passed the House（众议院）133-9.Sadly,once the bill reached the Senate（参议院）,it was never referred to a committee.The proposal died in the Senate without even a word spoken about it on the floor.Im moving forward with plans to file the legislation（立法）again in 2021
42、.I urge you to contact your state legislators to move this legislation forward so that this weekend will be one of the last times we have to“fall back.”北京新东方中小学全科教育出品 13 38.The possible origin of the idea of daylight saving time is _.A.the ancient legal act B.the influence of other countries C.the n

45、daylight saving time C.convince people of the necessity of daylight saving time D.persuade people to make efforts to stop daylight saving time 北京新东方中小学全科教育出品 14 D According to a new study,teens focus on rewards and have a hard time learning to avoid punishment or consider the consequences of alterna
46、tive actions.University College London researchers compared how teens and adults learn to make choices based on the available information.They tracked the way in which 18 volunteers aged 12-17 and 20 volunteers aged 18-32 completed tasks in which they had to choose between abstract symbols.Each symb
47、ol was consistently associated with a fixed chance of a reward,punishment,or no outcome.As the trial progressed,participants learned which symbols were likely to lead to each outcome and adjusted their choices accordingly.Teens and adults were equally good at learning to choose symbols associated wi
48、th reward,but teens were less good at avoiding symbols associated with punishment.Adults also performed significantly better when they were told what would have happened if they had chosen the other symbol after each choice,while teens did not appear to take this information into account.“From this
49、experimental lab study we can draw conclusions about learning during the teen years.We find that teens and adults learn in different ways,something that might be relevant to education,”said lead author Dr.Stefano Palminteri.“Unlike adults,teens are not so good at learning to adjust their choices to
50、avoid punishment.This suggests that incentive systems based on reward rather than punishment may be more effective for this age group.Additionally,we found that teens did not learn from being shown what would have happened if they made alternative choices.To interpret the results,the researchers dev
