21、Richard Branson, an English business magnate, has had great, global success. He is best known as the founder of Virgin Group, which consists of more than 400 companies.
So what, I asked, is his most important secret to success? His answer was simple: look for the best in other people.
Throughout his life he's never thought ill of other people. He looks for the best and praises them. Branson at times seems almost not human. He's too good at what he does. No, great. Nearly perfect. When he starts something, he is very likely to succeed. He has fallen out with others though, like anyone else. He is human. He told me:"Life is short and the world is much smaller than one realizes. You are going to come across people time and time again in the most surprising places ... As a leader it's even more important to be out there praising and encouraging people. If you do fall out with somebody in life, even if you think it was their mistake, give them a call. Befriend them. Go out to lunch with them."
The greatest leaders in the world have taught forgiveness. Perhaps the most extreme example is Nelson Mandela who invited his former prison guard to his inauguration (就职典礼) and even had lunch with a man who in the past wanted him to be sentenced to death.
Life is too short. We are humans and sometimes we make mistakes and anger people. What defines us is not those who are able to avoid confrontation (对抗), but those who are able to deal with it. The human body is able to self-heal when we are cut. In that same manner, we must heal our past relationships.
Branson wins respect from those around him. A natural-born leader, he is always deep in thought and hungry for more; always one step ahead. And it was Richard Branson who taught me about forgiveness.
【1】Richard Branson's success lies in his ________.
A. determination B. efforts C. judgment D. generosity
【2】The example of Nelson Mandela is mentioned to show ________.
A. he was one of the greatest leaders
B. he suffered a lot in prison
C. great people set a good example of forgiveness
D. the power of forgiveness is magical
【3】What would be the best title for the text?
A. Invite your enemies to lunch
B. Richard Branson's success story
C. What is forgiveness?
D. The key to success
22、 Instagram is a social networking app made for sharing photos and videos from a smartphone. However, some people argue that Instagram is harmful to teens.
Essena O’Neill seemed to have a perfect life --- at least online. The Australian teen had 500,000 Instagram followers. Her Internet fame led to a modeling contract. Companies paid her to show their clothing in her photos.
But in November 2015, Essena, then 18, shut down her Instagram account. She cut off more than 2000 photos. “I’ve spent the majority of my teenage life being attracted to social media,” she wrote. “ I’m leaving Instagram.”
Essena left a few photos online, and told the truth behind the photos she created. For example, she didn’t eat all day before taking a picture in a bikini(比基尼泳装). She took that photo 100 times to make sure her stomach looked perfect. “Social media is not real life!” she says now.
Seeing perfect-looking Instagram photos can make teens feel like they don’t meet the standard of beauty. And if your photos don’t get many “likes”, you might take it personally. Even Essena worried all the time about what others thought of her. Trying to appear perfect online made her feel alone. One day, she wrote, “I had never been more miserable.”
Not everyone thinks that Instagrem is harmful, though. Some people say it might even be good for teens. Why? Unlike many ads and magazines, Instagram includes photos of all different kinds of people. That means you’re more likely to see a photo of someone who looks like you.
Plus, studies show that many people who use social media feel more connected to friends. And social media users are more likely to know about big events in the lives of friends and family. So maybe it’s OK to love Instagram as long as you love yourself too.
【1】According to the text, Instagram brought Essena ______.
A.a healthy lifestyle B.fame and money
C.many true friends D.a perfect teenage life
【2】Why did Essena shut down her Instagram account at age 18? ______
A.Because she was too busy. B.Because her shape changed.
C.Because she faced great pressure. D.Because her photos were deleted
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards Instagram? ________
A.Worried B.Curious C.Surprised D.Supportive
【4】What does the text mainly discuss? _______
A.Should you be on a diet to look perfect?
B.Should you make friends on social media?
C.Should you give others “likes” on Instagram?
D.Should you shut down your Instagram account?
23、Canes (手杖) for navigation have been used for centuries by some visually impaired and blind people. By the early 20th century the white cane – the white is meant to make the cane most easily noticeable to others – became a visual assistance. But they’re not a perfect solution to detecting obstacles (障碍物) while walking, even after the extensive training needed to use them.
Engineers at Stanford University have attempted to improve the standard white cane. Their design, simply named the Augmented Cane, which is described in a new study published in Science Robotics, has two major differences from a typical white cane. Near the top, there’s a device filled with various sensors, including a camera, that collect information about the environment around the person, including GPS and LIDAR data. At the foot of the cane, there’s an omnidirectional (全方向的) wheel that comes with settings to adjust for a person’s walking speed and touch feedback to remind the user to steer left or right as needed. In theory, the device should pick up on potential obstacles ahead and assist in navigating unfamiliar places.
To test out their cane, Patrick Slade, a PhD student in robotics at Stanford, and his team had visually impaired and sighted people (24 in total) complete a series of navigation challenges in both outdoor and indoor environments. Sighted people were novices at using a cane, while those visually impaired had at least a few years of experience; all of them were blindfolded before -hand.
“Our experimental findings showed that across a range of indoor and outdoor tasks people with impaired vision chose to walk faster when using the Augmented Cane compared to a standard cane. This means our device provides some mobility benefits,” Slade said. “In addition, we did some experiments to show our device could provide assistance that a normal cane could not, for example, routing to a specific room or object in an indoor setting like going to a coffee shop in a mall.”
【1】Why do the researchers develop the Augmented Cane?
A．To replace the white cane.
B．To achieve obstacle detection.
C．To meet the needs for training.
D．To make the cane more noticeable.
【2】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The usage of the Augmented Cane.
B．The feature of the Augmented Cane.
C．The production of the Augmented Cane.
D．The performance of the Augmented Cane.
【3】What does the underlined word “novices” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Beginners.
B．Experts.
C．Followers.
D．Amateurs.
【4】What can we know about the Augmented Cane according to Patrick Slade?
A．It finishes various tasks faster.
B．It assists more visually impaired users.
C．It offers more reliable navigation.
D．It helps blind people better enjoy coffee.
24、 Creativity does not depend on “Eureka!!（我发现了）moments---it is a process，designed to consistently bring abstract ideas into the practical world. For creators，this emphasizes the importance of routines. Random bits of great inspiration are few and last only a short time；your works require a sustainable（可待续的）way to develop good ideas into great ones. Recall the wise words from Chuck Close：
"Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration; the rest of us just show up and go to work. "
Perhaps one of the best ways to improve your own processes is to study the masters. Thanks to books like Daily Rituals, our desire to see what "go to work" means ---by getting a look at the masters' regular routines-has been thoroughly satisfied. Though the output of these creative geniuses is sometimes amazing, how they conduct their work is often easy to relate to. One such person I took inspiration from was Ludwig van Beethoven.
Beethoven kept his creative promises by strategically using his time to produce ideas. His favorite method of thinking about things is long walks through the forested valleys of Vienna without the company of other people. He placed great importance on this planned time for reflection and idea evaluation. It appears he wasn't alone; notable craftsmen all over the world share similar experience in breaking up their day with walks.
Beethoven went for an active walk after lunch, and he always carried a pencil and a couple of sheets of paper in his pocket, to record chance musical thoughts. Gustav Mahler followed much the same routine-he would take a three (or four)-hour walk after lunch, stopping to quickly write down ideas on his notebook. Benjamin Britten said that his afternoon walks were "where I plan out what I'm going to write in the next period at my desk. "
Recently, psychologists took an interesting step (or two) forward in understanding the creative benefits of walking-a Stanford study was able to show that walking helped people produce more novel ideas and enhanced creative thinking during the walk and immediately after, compared to sitting. As the title of the study points out, walking may be the missing ingredient to consistently give your new ideas some legs.
