21、Just being smart doesn’t mean someone will be successful. And just because someone is less smart doesn’t mean that person will fail. That’s one take-home message from the work of people like Angela Duckworth.
She works at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Like many other researchers, Duckworth wondered what makes one person more successful than another. When digging deeper, Duckworth found that the people who performed best shared a quality (品质) independent of smarts. They had what she now calls grit (毅力). Duckworth developed a set of questions to test it.
In one study of people 25 and older, she found that as people age, they become more likely to stick with a project. She also found that grit increases with education. People who had finished college scored higher in the grit test than people who quit before graduation did. People who went to graduate school after college scored even higher.
She then did another study with college students. Duckworth wanted to see how smarts and grit influenced performance in school. So she compared scores on college-entrance exams, which test IQ, to school grades and someone’s score in the grit test. Students with higher grades seem to have more grit. That’s not surprising. Getting good grades takes both smarts and hard work.
But some people counter that this grit means success. Among those people is Marcus Credé, a teacher at Iowa State University in Ames. He recently showed the results of 88 studies on grit. Together, nearly 67,000 people took part in these studies. And grit did not predict success, Credé found.
However, he thinks grit is very similar to someone’s ability to set goals, work toward them and think things through before acting. It’s a basic personality quality, Credé notes — not something that can be changed.
“Study habits and skills, test anxiety and class attendance are far more strongly connected to school grades than grit,” Credé says. “We can teach students how to study well. We can help them with their test anxiety,” he adds. “I’m not sure we can do that with grit.”
【1】What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A．Grit decides how smart one might be.
B．Grit is a quality dependent (依赖的) on smarts.
C．Success has nothing to do with smarts.
D．Smart people may not succeed.
【2】What might influence a person’s grit according to Angela Duckworth’s findings?
A．Lifestyles.
B．Family tradition.
C．Education.
D．Personality types.
【3】What does the underlined word “counter” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Doubt.
B．Reply.
C．Accept.
D．Warn.
【4】What is Credé’s opinion about grit?
A．It is strongly related to test anxiety.
B．It can hardly be taught in school.
C．It should be paid no attention to in teaching.
D．It can’t influence students’ school grades.
22、October 21 was a very dark day in Texas. Not only did Hurricane Hanna destroy homes, it caused the largest business damage in Texas’s history. The worst thing is Hanna’s destructive force nearly wiped out most power poles and power lines. According to Center Point Energy, Hurricane Hanna affected 2.15 million customers. Currently, more than 4,000 of them are still in the dark. Crews have worked 16-hour shifts to restore power to residents.
Most of Houston seems to be returning to normal. Schools, restaurants, retail stores and gas stations are open. Smiles are back. But harder-hit places, including Galveston, will take much longer to recover. Hundreds of people are still missing, and coastal towns are a mess. Some ruins from storm have drifted south to other beaches in Texas. Several public schools in Galveston are closed due to water damage. Parents are registering kids in other area schools which are scheduled to begin class on November 13. Many school supplies were destroyed.
Clara Barton Village is an emergency shelter located at Alamo Elementary School in Galveston, Texas. This is where Paula Reed and her family are staying. Believe it or not, Paula Reed and her family consider this hurricane a blessing. When Paula was a girl, she was an orphan, but was taken in by her stepmom, Antonia Flores. Reed lost contact with Flores and had been trying desperately to locate her for the past few years. Before the hurricane, Reed and her family moved away from Galveston to a San Antonio shelter. There, she reunited with Flores after 30 long years! The moment they saw each other, their lives were changed.

23、 Guo Qilin, 24, an actor and comedian, has been trending on Weibo for his response about love relations on the reality show Heart Signal 3（《心动的信号3》）. "The right time to establish a relationship with a romantic partner should be at a moment when I fear being lonely, and I really need someone to accompany me," he explained.
Qilin's clarity and self-knowledge at such a young age surprised viewers. This has played a key role in Qilin's career as he knows who he is and what he wants.
His father, Guo Degang, 47, is a famous Chinese crosstalk artist. Influenced by his father, Qilin became interested in crosstalk. At the age of 14, he dropped out of school and decided to learn crosstalk instead. Led by his father, Qilin read many books and grasped the basic skills of crosstalk, which laid a solid foundation for his career.
Qilin climbed the ladder to success by working on his self-control and tenacity（韧性）. In order to look better on stage, he lost almost 35kg within one year. "Losing weight is a presentation for actors with good virtues," he said in an interview.
Qilin once ranked first with Yue Yunpeng in the fifth season of Top Funny Comedian. However, it caused much criticism. Viewers thought his achievement should result from his father's fame and Yue's performance. Even so, Qilin has always stayed humble and has been trying to distance himself professionally from his father.
Qilin's turning point came with the drama Joy of Life（《庆余年》）, in which Qilin plays a supporting role as Fan Sizhe, transforming from a god-for-nothing young man from a wealthy family into accomplished businessman. This role earned him a place and respect from professionals as well as the audience.
Now, Qilin's new drama Мy Heroic Husband is set to release this month. It is the first time that Qilin has played a leading role. To make a name for himself and escape his father's shadow, Qilin is diligent on the right track.
【1】What played a key role in Guo Qilin's career?
A.Tenacity. B.Self-control. C.Father's influence. D.Self-knowledge.
【2】Which is NOT the foundation of Qilin's career?
A.He has read a lot of books.
B.He has got his father's guidance.
C.He has made a lot of popular plays.
D.He has mastered the basic skills of crosstalk.
【3】Why did Guo Qilin want to lose weight?
A.To seek for fame. B.To make himself happy.
C.To get a role in a new drama. D.To show respect for the audience.
【4】Which words can be used to describe Guo Qilin?
A.Modest and hardworking. B.Caring and childish.
C.Smart and generous. D.Playful and adventurous.
