21、How to Build the Most Powerful Mindset for Success
In the past decade or so, you may have heard the term “growth mindset” thrown around a lot. But what is a growth mindset? How can we cultivate a growth mindset in ourselves? Here are a few ways you can start training your brain to think with a growth mindset instead of a fixed one:
1. Stop worrying about if you’re smart enough, start worrying if you’re working hard enough.
As Dr. Carol Dwek, an American psychologist, explains: “Genius is not enough; we need to get the job done.” 【1】 To cultivate a growth mindset, stop judging your worth based on how smart you perceive yourself to be and start focusing on trying your best.
2. 【2】
People with fixed mindsets often see failures as reflections of their own intelligence or skill, so they end up giving up when confronted with disappointment. But instead of seeing failure as a negative thing, reframe it as an opportunity to learn something. If this set of actions resulted in failure, how could you change things next time to result in success?
3. Reframe setbacks as part of the process.
Similarly, it’s important to remember that setbacks, failures, frustrations, disappointments, etc. are 100% natural. How many times did Edison try to make a light-bulb? How many setbacks did Oprah Winfrey face on her journey to fame?【3】 Learn from it, appreciate it, then move on.
4. Praise effort rather than outcomes.
In Dr. Dwek’s book, she writes: “after seven experiments with hundreds of children, we had some of the clearest findings I’ve ever seen: Praising children’s intelligence harms their motivation and it harms their performance.” How can that be? Praise does give them a boost, a special glow - but only for the moment. The minute they hit a snag, their confidence goes out the window and their motivation hits rock bottom. It’s important to remember that praising your intelligence and talent won’t help you grow and learn. 【4】
5. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
One trait that people with growth mindsets often exhibit is the ability to ask questions. Rather than worrying about how others will perceive your intelligence when asking a question, they focus on trying your best to learn and grow. 【5】 So reach out when you need help. Ask questions when you don’t know. That is where real intelligence is formed.
A．But if you’re currently stuck in a fixed mindset, this might be hard to believe right away.
B．You obviously can’t be expected to know everything or to do everything on your own.
C．The most important thing is whether you put in your best effort.
D．A setback or failure is not something to be ashamed of, but embraced.
E．Reframe failures as learning opportunities.
F．Even if you congratulate yourself, you may end up hurting long term.
G．Instead, praise hard work and persistence to encourage improvement.
22、 For two centuries, the famous University of Cambridge debating society has hosted many prominent figures, from world leaders to scientists to comedians.
On Nov 21, the Cambridge Union hosted another extraordinary guest—a non-human debater called Project Debater. Designed by IBM, Project Debater is a machine that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to form a spoken argument. It can even listen and answer to opposite statements, much like a real person.
In the Cambridge test debate, it argued the topic: Al will ultimately (最终) do more harm than good. Before the debate, more than 1,100 arguments for the positives and negatives of AI were submitted (递交) to the IBM website. The machine then analyzed these sources and formed the basis of its arguments in minutes. Project Debater then showed off its AI by arguing for both sides of the debate.
Over a four-minute speech, it argued first that, “AI can only make decisions that it has been programmed to solve, while humans can be programmed for all situations.”
In support of AI, it then argued that AI would create new jobs and “bring a lot more efficiency” to the workplace.
This isn’t the first test for Project Debater. In June 2018, the machine went back-and-forth for 20 minutes against champion debater Harish Natarajan.
According to New Scientist, on both occasions, Project Debater repeated points and didn’t always sufficiently (充分地) support them.
Speaking to Cambridge Independent, Noam Slonim, the project’s lead engineer, said, “The AI is not perfect, but it’s going in the right direction.” The team hopes to improve the AI by researching why humans find certain arguments more persuasive than others. They also hope the test might provide well-informed viewpoints for society, governments and private companies.
【1】What does the underlined word “prominent” mean in paragraph one?
A.Intelligent. B.Outstanding.
C.Well-educated. D.Creative.
【2】According to the passage, Project Debater ________.
A.can make decisions for all situations
B.argued with itself in the Cambridge test debate
C.can always find enough evidence to support its idea
D.defeated champion debater Harish Natarajan in June 2018
【3】What does Noam Slonim think of the AI?
A.It’s not so beneficial to humans. B.It will defeat humans in time.
C.It remains to be improved. D.It will ultimately do more harm than good.
【4】This passage above can be most probably read in ________.
A.a newspaper B.a guidebook
C.a textbook D.a research paper
23、Tips for Getting Along with Your Roommate
Having a roommate in the school dormitory certainly has its challenges. 【1】. Follow these tips to make sure you keep things pleasant.
Be clear about your expectations from the beginning
Let your roommate know your little strange habits and your preferences as soon as you can. 【2】. Communicating what you need is one of the best ways to get rid of problems before they become problems.
Address problems when they ’re little
Is your roommate always forgetting her stuff for the shower, and taking yours? Addressing things that upset you while they’ re still little can help your roommate be aware of something she may not otherwise know. 【3】after they’ve become big.
Respect your roommate’s stuff
This may seem simple, but it’s probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflict. Don’t suppose he’ll not mind you using his bat for a tennis game. There is a strong possibility that you step over an uncrossable line. Don’t borrow or take anything without getting permission first.
【4】
Don’t suppose that you are going to be best friends. It may happen, but expecting it sets both of you up for trouble. You should be friendly to your roommate but also make sure you have your own social circles.
Follow the golden rule
【5】. Act like an adult and treat your roommate with respect.
A．Do as the Romans do when in Rome
B．Avoid the following traps to make life smooth
C．Be friendly, without expecting to be best friends
D．Treat your roommate like you’d like to be treated
E．It can also be a great part of your school experience
F．Addressing little things is much easier than addressing them
G．It’s not fair to expect him or her to pick up on them right away
24、It was a very hot day in late summer. I was a young dad working in a local wood factory. It was dangerous, back-breaking work that paid very little. In the year I had worked there, only four other people hadn’t quit and been replaced with new faces. Those of us who stayed did so only because there was no other work to find to support our families.
On this day the fans weren’t working and all of us were covered in sweat and sawdust. When I looked around, every face I saw looked angry and frustrated. Suddenly, a voice called out, “Hey! There’s a deer in here.” A lost little deer had wandered through the open loading bay doors and was now cowering(蜷缩)in between the huge stacks of wood. All of us stopped working and went looking for her as she ran about looking for a way out.
Now most people where I live hunt deer for meat in the fall, but also treat them with great kindness during the rest of the year. Many will even buy 50 bags of corn to help feed them during the. harsh winter months. It was no surprise then that all of us were soon quickly working together to free this little deer. By blocking off all the other routes we were able to guide her and panic her back to the open door. We watched as she jumped out of the building and back into the woods. Then we walked back in to work. I noticed something, though. On every face there was a joyful smile. It was as if this one single act of kindness had energized(使充满活力)us again and reminded us of what life is all about.
【1】Why were many people unwilling to work in the wood factory?
A．Most people quit and were replaced with new faces.
B．They are not satisfied with the boss.
C．The pay and work conditions were bad.
D．They wanted more pleasure and freedom.
【2】What can we conclude from the passage?
A．The deer was a light to the dull work.
B．The workers were working in a good mood daily.
C．The deer was trapped in a big well.
D．All the workers wanted to catch the deer.
【3】How did the men manage to free the deer in the end?
A．By dropping some food.
B．By opening one route.
C．By using some signals.
D．By shouting loudly.
【4】Which of the following best describes the workers?
A．Bad-tempered but patient.
B．stubborn but kind.
C．Hard-working and loving.
D．curious and adventurous.

26、阅读下面材料，根据内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A Sepcial Christmas Gift
December 1st. Always on that day, Mom would softly announce, “It’s time.” When we heard those words, we all knew was time to write our letters to Santa. So, we began our special letters. Jimmy asked for a baseball. Wilbur like anything to do with art. This was my letter to Santa.
My Mom and Dad say I have been very good this year. I only want two toys this year. But what I want most is a dog. I have been asking for one all year. Mom and Dad say we can’t afford to feed an animal right now. It makes me sad, but it’s alright. Maybe next year Mom will say it’s OK. That’s all, Santa. Say hi to Mrs. Claus. And Merry Christmas.
Love, Sheila
The next morning we would walk three blocks to the large red, white and blue mailbox on the corner of Stimson and Forth. It was a special mailbox, only for letters children wrote to Santa.
Christmas Eve finally arrived. I was so excited that I found it difficult to fall asleep. But sleep finally came and so did Christmas morning. I woke up hearing my brothers down the hall shouting at my Mom and Dad. “Wake up! Wake up! Santa came! Come on! Come on!” Jimmy came running and jumping on my bed. “Santa’s been here! Come on! Let’s open presents!”
We all ran downstairs. Our eyes were shining like wildfire as we eyed over plenty of presents under the tree. Then Dad handed out the gifs one at a time. I kept watching as my brothers unwrapped gift after gift. Dad said, “This year you are going to be last to get your presents, because you are the oldest.” I didn’t think anything of it but nodded.
