Poor saw me and came to sit at my table. He had never borrowed any money from me. When he was eating, I asked him to lend me two dollars. To my surprise, he gave me the money without hesitation.

27、As COVID-19 spread around the globe this spring, people sought comfort in music. That they have used music to connect, comfort, and lift spirits during these unsettling times comes as no surprise to David Silbersweig, chairman of the Department of Psychiatry (精神病学) at Brigham and his partner, Haddad.
Silbersweig and Haddad are both musicians with lasting interests in how music excites the brain — and how it can be used to improve health. They found when people are dealing with very stressful situations, music is universally accepted as something helpful during these periods.
Silbersweig explained that the process by which they recognize a series of sounds as music is incredibly complex. It starts with sound waves entering the ear, striking the eardrum, and causing vibrations (振动) that are transformed into electric signals. These signals travel to the brainstem, then they spread to activate different parts of the brain. It is noteworthy that different parts of the brain are activated, depending on the type of music and whether we are listening, playing, learning, or composing music.
Music can change brain structure and function, both after being heard immediately and repeatedly, according to the research. These changes in brain connectivity suggest opportunities to activate certain regions to promote recovery. Silbersweig and Haddad look forward to using cutting-edge brain research to build on what’s already known about the amazing power of music to help patients. The pair find people with short-term memory loss from Alzheimer’s disease often recognize familiar songs like “Happy Birthday” because they have been stored into their brain’s long-term memory.
Haddad witnessed this response while performing for patients in hospitals. She noted, “There are many patients who are essentially seated, lying down, eyes closed, not able to communicate. But when you play a song that they recognize from their youth, their eyes light up. They’re sitting up and smiling, too. It’s just incredible.”
【1】What can music do according to the first two paragraphs?
A．Stop the spread of disease.
B．Promote scientific research.
C．Cheer people up in hard times.
D．Improve people’s learning ability.
【2】What does the underlined word “It” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A．The brain.
B．The process.
C．The research.
D．The music.
【3】What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A．The findings of the research.
B．The methods of the research.
C．The different types of music.
D．The changes of brain structure.
【4】What did Haddad think of the patients’ response?
A．Worrying.
B．Puzzling.
C．Satisfying.
D．Amazing.

31、Eileen Collins
Although she’s never walked on a runway with models in a fancy dress, Eileen Collins is referred to by many as “Miss Universe”. That’s because Collins (1956— ) is an a【1】 and NASA’s first female shuttle pilot and mission commander.
Until quite recently, this profession was one you’d only find men in. There seemed to be little p【2】 of entry for females. For them, therefore, Collins is a pioneer(先锋).
In 1995, she piloted the Discovery shuttle during flight t【3】 the Russian Space Station. Four years later, she headed a shuttle mission aboard Columbia.
Collins’ achievement is not something that happens o【4】. It takes years, even decades, of preparation. But to understand the roots of Collins’ love of piloting, we have to go back to her c【5】. Collins knew from a very young age that she belonged to the skies. She grew up in Elmira in New York State, a town with a significant flight history. The first US National Gliding Contest was h【6】 there in 1930.
Collins’ passion was also helped by books on the Wright brothers. Starting at age 16, Collins took on small jobs and three years later, she had s【7】 enough money to accomplish her dream of learning to fly. S【8】 when the US Air Force opened its doors to female pilots in 1978, the young woman applied and started her t【9】 as a military pilot. Her team described her as humble (谦卑的) despite all her achievements.
Her parents agree. “She is very down-to-earth. N【10】 handed her anything. Everything she is today, she’s earned,” her mother said.
32、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
As parents, we need to help children build toward future success by developing persistence. Persistence is what drives actions such as finishing a task, pushing through frustration, putting in time and effort, or finding creative approaches to a challenging problem. The ability to keep trying early in life is linked to all sorts of favorable outcomes years later.
There are three main strategies for encouraging persistence in your child.
The first is modeling what persistence looks like. Good modeling is more effective when planned and carried out with a specific goal (such as developing honesty, or, yes, persistence) in mind. Parents who noticeably struggle with something that are slightly difficult at home, but continue to pursue the activity anyway, and repeat that pattern over time, may naturally foster persistence in a child. It helps more if they sometimes comment: “Hmm, that did not work. Let me try another way.”
When you see your child doing this themselves and devoting special effort to a task, praise them right then and there. Praise even the smallest signs of effort. Quickly, clearly doing this will increase the child’s effort, which can, in turn, extend to other activities and situations they encounter in the future. In general, if you spot the child trying hard or harder than she usually does and working through tasks, praise them for what they are doing.
And if you do not see this happening, and your child is not doing something a bit difficult, you do not need to wait. You can provide opportunities for persistence. That is, try to combine modeling and praise: Do anything that involves some time and effort together. Then, set small and eventually larger goals. Depending on how it is going, have the child do more and more of the task while you keep him or her company. However, your chosen activity should be fun or, at least, a time free of reprimands or harsh corrections.
Some people are more naturally persistent than others. Repeated practice can teach children that the process is important—sometimes just as important as the goal.
