【題目】 I don’t know anyone who has been handed only roses. We all encounter hardships. Some we see coming; others take us by surprise.1The question is: When these things happen, what do we do next?

When someone is suffering, we need to follow the Platinum Rule:2Put ourselves in other’s shoes and respond with understanding or better yet, action.

3It comes from deep within us and from support outside us. It comes from gratitude for what’s good in our lives and from learning in to the suck.4I learned that when life pulls you under, you can kick against the bottom, break the surface, and breathe again.

Although it can be extremely difficult to grasp, the disappearance of one possible self can free us to imagine a new possible self. After tragedy, we sometimes miss these opportunities because we spend all of our emotional energy wishing for our old lives. As Hellen Keller put it, “5But often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”

A.It can help a person step out of the trouble.

B.Treat others as they want to be treated.

C.When one door of happiness closes, another opens.

D.Death ends a life, but it does not end a relationship.

E.Another way you answer it depends on your ability of recovery.

F.It comes from analyzing how we process grief and from simply accepting that grief.

G.It can be as tragic as the death of a child, or as disappointing as a dream that goes unfilled.

5C

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。短文就在遇到困難的時候應(yīng)該怎么做提出了一些合理建議。

1根據(jù)上文We all encounter hardships. Some we see coming; others take us by surprise.可知, 我們都會遇到困難。有些是我們預(yù)見到的,有些是根本想不到的。所以選項承接上文,說明困難對人的不良影響。故G選項“它可以使人陷入極度悲慘的境地,也可以像一個沒有實現(xiàn)的夢想一樣令人失望。”切題。故選G項。

2根據(jù)上文When someone is suffering, we need to follow the Platinum Rule.可知,當(dāng)有人受苦的時候,我們需要遵循白金法則。根據(jù)下文Put ourselves in other’s shoes and respond with understanding or better yet, action.可知,設(shè)身處地為別人著想,用理解或者更好的行動來回應(yīng)。由此可知,選項要說明白金法則的內(nèi)容且要與下文話題一致。故B選項“己所不欲勿施于人!鼻蓄}。故選B項。

3根據(jù)下文It comes from deep within us and from support outside us.可知,它來自我們內(nèi)心深處和外界的支持。所以選項起到總說的作用,說明對付困難的另一種方式。故E選項“另一種應(yīng)取決于你的恢復(fù)能力!鼻蓄}。選E項。

4根據(jù)上文It comes from gratitude for what’s good in our lives and from leaning in to the suck.可知,它來自于對生活中美好事物的感激,也來自于對糟糕事物的學(xué)習(xí)。所以選項與上一句為并列關(guān)系。故F選項“它來自于分析我們?nèi)绾翁幚肀瘋瑏碜杂谖覀內(nèi)绾谓邮鼙瘋!鼻蓄}。故選F項。

5根據(jù)下文But often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.可知,但是我們常常長時間地注視著那扇緊閉的門,卻看不到那扇為我們打開的門。所選選項與下文為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故C選項“當(dāng)一扇幸福之門關(guān)閉,另一扇就會打開!鼻蓄}。故選C項。

Researchers Are Racing to Make a Coronavirus Vaccine. Will It Help?

For decades, sociologists have been trying to understand why certain people rise to the top of their fields. A number of theories have emerged, so if you're struggling on the path of success, perhaps these will give you some new clues.

IQ is Overrated

A high IQ is necessary, but it is not adequate to predict executive competence and corporate success. While people with high test scores do have more opportunities, that doesn't mean that smart people are more successful. In fact, in many fields the link between success and intelligence is often weak or non-existent. Nobel Prize winning Israeli-American psychologist, Daniel Kahneman, found that people would rather do business with a person they like and trust rather than someone they don’t, even if the likeable person is offering a lower quality product or service at a higher price.

The 10,000 Hours Theory

A Professor at the University of Colorado named Anders Ericsson decided to look at the differences between amateurs and professionals. In 1993, he released a paper that found on average amateurs only got about 4000 hours of practice, but professionals had practiced for at least 10,000 hours. While there's some debate over whether 10,000 hours is a rule or just a theory, many experts agree that a significant number of people who are considered "great" have, on average, 10,000 hours of experience.

Deliberate Practice

If no one is born talented and you need 10,000 hours of practice, what's the most effective way of using those hours? One theory is something sociologists call "deliberate practice." Essentially, there are six elements. The practice needs to be meant to specifically improve performance, and is even more effective if there's coaching. It needs to be repeatable, and feedback regularly is crucial. It also has to be demanding, either physically or mentally. If you're doing all of this correctly, it shouldn't be a fun experience. An example would be a basketball player who isn't very good at free throws spending hours and hours just doing free throws while being coached. Not a great time no matter how big of a basketball fan you are.

No One Succeeds on Their Own

While it would be nice to succeed simply because we work hard, life doesn't work that way. We need help and support from friends, family and teachers, and then we need chances from employers and other key figures in the fields we choose to pursue. In order to succeed, the gifts and interests of a person need to be encouraged, especially at a young age. Then as they grow up, people need to be given opportunities, breaks and second chances. Without help from other people, it makes it impossible to succeed because as Gladwell points out, "… no one—not rock stars, not professional athletes, not software billionaires, and not even geniuses — ever makes it alone."

You Have Amazing Potential

On average, the human mind can remember a sequence of seven to nine numbers. After that it becomes incredibly hard to remember all the numbers in the right order. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University wanted to know if someone of average intelligence could break that barrier with practice. Through a lot of tests, researchers discovered what they called "the remarkable potential of 'ordinary' adults and their amazing capacity for change with practice." Their research showed that even "ordinary" people have the potential to be great by challenging themselves. If you work hard, your goals can be more attainable than you thought.

【題目】 Pinocchio may be just a children’s fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated this so-called “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses don’t grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.

Dr. Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography(體溫計)to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tip of their nose dropped up to 1.2, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5. Scientist also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the human eye.

“One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead,” Dr. Gómez Milán explained the findings. “At the same time we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose.”

For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while their temperature is scanned by technology. One of these tasks required making a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to make up the lie themselves during the call. Interestingly, this lie detector picked up the “Pinocchio effect” temperature difference in 80 percent of the test subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector.

“With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy”, said Dr. Gómez Milán, who added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.

1Why does the writer talk about Pinocchio in the first paragraph?

A.To tell a fairy tale.B.To give an example.

C.To talk about a scientist.D.To introduce the topic.

2What is “Pinocchio effect”?

A.Our noses will grow when we tell a lie.

B.Our noses will shrink when we tell a lie.

C.The temperature of the forehead falls if we lie.

D.The temperature of the student rises for anxiety.

3How did Dr. Gómez Milán feel about the lie detector?

A.Doubtful.B.Surprised.

C.Confident.D.Puzzled.

4What lesson can we learn from the text?

A.A lie will travel very hard.B.Many ways to bring a liar to light.

C.A lie never lives to be old.D.Once a liar always a liar.
