21、 After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent, I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.
Together, these deep human urges count for much more that ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?”
Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don't have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them.
“The great man,” said Mencius “is he who does not lose his child's heart,” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied.
Most of us meet new people and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.
How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn't arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. Now she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.
One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven't any special ability? Most people don't. There are only a few geniuses. You haven't any time? That's good, because it's always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom's Cabin while cooking. You're too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.
However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you'll never be more alive than you are at this moment.

B．Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore
C．Creativity results from challenging authority.
D．Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.
【3】What could be the best title or the passage?
A．Curious Minds Never Feel Contented

D．Never Too Late to Learn
22、Tips for Keeping Awake in Class
If you want to keep awake during class, sleep the night before your class. Students who doze(打瞌睡)in class often missed sleep the night before. Getting enough sleep is your first line of defense when it comes to staying awake in class.【1】For most people, eight hours of sleep is enough to get through the day, but your body may require more.
【2】This will train your body to know when it needs to be asleep and when it is time to wake up. Allow yourself time to relax before heading to bed by putting away your phone, homework, and other things that keep your mind active. Getting enough high-quality sleep can help you.
Another way is to take a shower before class.【3】The warm water from your shower raises your body temperature. This also increases your heart rate so your blood travels around your body faster. Finally, it helps deliver oxygen to your important organs so your body can work at the best level of efficiency.
【4】When your body is exposed to cold water, your blood will flow at a higher pressure, meaning that your circulation(循环)is even further increased. The cold water will also help wake you up because it will shock your body, forcing you to breathe more deeply.【5】And thus you will be more mentally sharp.
A．Having a warm meal also works.
B．This will increase your oxygen intake.
C．Perform a series of movements before sleep.
D．This helps you feel refreshed and awakens your senses.
E．For some extra energy, finish your shower with cold water.
F．Make sure to get some shut-eye if you have a class the next day.
G．Keep a regular sleep schedule by going to bed at the same time each night.

24、 Earlier this year a series of papers in The Lancet reported that 85 percent of the $265 billion spent each year on medical research is wasted because too often absolutely nothing happens after initial results of a study are published. No follow-up investigations to replicate(复制) or expand on a discovery. No one uses the findings to build new technologies.
The problem is not just what happens after publication — scientists often have trouble choosing the right questions and properly designing studies to answer them. Too many studies test too few subjects to arrive at firm conclusions. Researchers publish reports on hundreds of treatments for diseases that work in animal models but not in humans. Drug companies find themselves unable to reproduce promising drug targets published by the best academic institutions. The growing recognition that something has gone wrong in the laboratory has led to calls for, as one might guess, more research on research — attempts to find rules to ensure that peer-reviewed studies are, in fact, valid.
It will take a concerted effort by scientists and other stakeholders to fix this problem. We can do so by exploring ways to make scientific investigation more reliable and efficient. These may include collaborative team science, study registration, stronger study designs and statistical tools, and better peer review, along with making scientific data widely available so that others can replicate experiments, therefore building trust in the conclusions of those studies.
Reproducing other scientists’ analyses or replicating their results has too often in the past been looked down on with a kind of “me-too” derision(嘲笑) that would waste resources — but often they may help avoid false leads that would have been even more wasteful. Perhaps the biggest obstacle to replication is the inaccessibility of data and results necessary to rerun the analyses that went into the original experiments. Searching for such information can be extremely difficult. Investigators die, move and change jobs; computers crash; online links malfunction. Data are sometimes lost — even, as one researcher claimed when confronted about spurious(伪造的) results, eaten by termites(白蚁).
There has definitely been some recent progress. An increasing number of journals, including Nature and Science, have adopted measures such as checklists for study design and reporting while improving statistical review and encouraging access to data. Several funding agencies, meanwhile, have asked that researchers outline their plans for sharing data before they can receive a government grant.
But it will take much more to achieve a lasting culture change. Investigators should be rewarded for performing good science rather than just getting statistically significant (“positive”) but nonreplicable results. Revising the present incentive(激励) structure may require changes on the part of journals, funders, universities and other research institutions.

A.Great achievements in medical research failed to get published.
B.Money was wasted on follow-up investigations in medical research.
C.Too many new research findings are not put into use after publication.

【3】Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A.Measures are taken to ensure publication of tested results only.
B.Scientific experiments must be replicable to be considered valid.
