She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babie
12、s came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them.

27、he Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters.

Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.When personal computers were first introduced, most o
29、lder people didnt believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says: “I fi
30、nd it very relaxing. Its not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate.”Another development that has favored “grey gamers” is a change in the type of video games available on the market. Theres a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy and si
31、mulation（模拟）games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real-world rail activities.

Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the “grey gamers may well be far better than gam
33、ers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration, older people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction time.

37、ther work with. Hardly surprisingly, the people we want most as our workmates are both brilliant at their jobs and delightful human beings. And the people we want least are both unpleasant and useless. More interestingly, the authors found that, given the choice between working with lovable fools an
38、d competent jerks (性情古怪的人), we irresistibly choose the former. Anyway, who likes those stupid men who annoy or hurt other people? We might insist that competence matters more, but our behavior shows we stay close to the people we like and sharing information with them. What companies should therefor
39、e do is get people to like each other more. The trick here is apparently to make sure staffs come across each other as often as possible during the day. They also should be sent on bonding courses and so on to encourage friendliness and break down displeasure. However, more outdoor-activity weekends
40、 and shared coffee machines inspire no confidence at all. The reality is that people either like each other or they dont. You cant force it. Possibly you can make offices friendlier by tolerating a lot of chat, but there is a productivity cost to that. In my experience, the question of lovable fool
41、against competent jerk may not be the right one. The two are interrelated: we tend not to like our workmates when they are completely hopeless. I was once quite friendly with a woman whom I later worked with. I found her to be so outstandingly bad at her job that I lost respect for her and ended up
42、not really liking her at all. Then is there anything that companies should be doing about it?By far the most effective strategy would be to hire people who are all pretty much the same, given that similarity is one of the main determinants of whether we like each other. I think this is a pretty good
43、 idea, but no one dares recommend this anymore without offending the diversity lobby group. There is only one acceptable view on this subject: teams of similar people are bad because they stop creativity. This may be true, though I have never seen any conclusive proof of it. Not only do we like simi
44、lar people, we like people who like us. So if companies want to promote more liking, they should encourage a culture where we are all nice to each other. The trouble is that this needs to be done with some skill.32. According to the research, which kind of colleagues would people tend to choose?A. N
45、ice but unintelligent. B. Creative but unattractive.C. Competent but unfriendly. D. Humorous but not ambitious.33. The author talks about her experience to showthat _.

48、ds, the need to buy things, is a relatively modern invention. 36 Trade or shopping is certainly an ancient desire, and existed before our ancestors invented writing, laws, cities or farming, even before they used metal to make tools. Humans are born to trade. 37 Evidence from hunter-gatherers sugges
49、ts that the exchange of food and other necessary things comes naturally, as well as the ability to keep a record of the credits involved. And once trade begins, the benefits are hard to resist. Ancient local coastal people in northern Australia traded fish hooks, along a chain of trading partners, with people living 400 miles inland, who cut and polished local stone to make axes (斧子). 38 Finally, both groups of “producers”, by concentrating on things they could produce and exchanging them for ot
