21、“A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for,” said John A. Shedd, an early 20th century author. Throughout’ the Covid-19, we’ve all become used to assessing risk in new ways. We’ve come to understand, though we can never get rid of risk altogether, we have great power to make choices both large and small to protect ourselves.【1】It stops us from stepping outside of our comfort zones and trying new things.
Developmental psychologists talk about “positive risks” — socially acceptable risks that our lives can benefit from.【2】But what about these, who develop into adults? Researchers have found that happiness for older adults is being able to choose how they spend their time, including ways that are adventurous, new and even-like hiking or other outdoor activities — mildly risky.
One guide to positive risk management lists ways that people can make sure their risks are on the “safe" side of risk range. For example, to ensure a successful bike ride, you should in advance equip yourself with a fully-charged cell phone and a full water bottle.【3】 Or if you are, concerned about your physical capacity, consult a certified trainer or medical professional before departure.
【4】This means adapting to changing situations. In response to the deadly virus, people choose to step back into normal life only after they are vaccinated. In this way, people could be confident that the risk is tolerable.
Nobody wants to be needlessly risky. But using our newly-acquired risk assessment tools, we can once again learn and grow in our lives.【5】
A．Take risks in a positive way.
B．But the self- protective mind state carries its own risk.
C．Overall happiness is one benefit of positive risk-taking.
D．Remember to tell one of your friends or family your destination.
E．Besides taking preventive steps, flexible thinking is also encouraged.
F．Like a ship sailing away from its harbor, that is what we were built to do.
G．For teenagers, this means risks like running for monitor or trying out for a team.
22、 Dyslexia is a problem that interferes (干扰) with the ability to recognize words and connect sounds with letters when people read. People with this learning disorder may also have problems when they write. Dyslexia is not related to eyesight or intelligence. The problem involves (涉及)areas of the brain that process language.
Brain scientists are studying whether they can predict which young children may struggle with reading, in order to provide early help. John Gabrieli is leading a study of five-year-olds in about twenty schools. He says, “We partner with schools that have kindergartens. What we do is, for all the children whose parents permit them to participate, we give them a brief set of paper-and-pencil tests to look at which children appear to be at some risk for struggling to read.
So far, fifty of the kindergartners have been examined in a machine that shows brain activity. The scanner uses a high-energy magnetic (有磁性的) field and radio waves to “look” inside the body. Written tests which are often used in previous studies are not always able to identify dyslexia or other problems. Professor Gabrieli says, “Brain scans may offer a more scientific way to identify problems.
And with reading problems, early identification is important. Reading problems are not usually identified until a child is in the third or fourth grade. The later children are recognized as poor readers, the less these interventions can help. And, as Professor Gabrieli points out, poor reading can make education a struggle. Reading is everything. Even math and science require one to read textbooks.
【1】What do we know about Dyslexia?
A.It results in poor eyesight.
B.It is related to brain activity.
C.It only causes reading difficulty.
D.It has an influence on intelligence.
【2】What does the underlined word “interventions” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Approaches. B.Researches.
C.Instructions. D.Treatments.
【3】How is Professor Gabrieli’s study different from early ones?
A.It is scientifically based.
B.It focuses on written tests.
C.It examines children’s brains.
D.It needs parents’ participation.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Dyslexia – a Learning Disorder Involving Intelligence
B.Dyslexia – a Problem Relating to Kindergartners
C.A Way Identifying Dyslexia at an Early Stage
D.A Machine Showing Brain Development
23、Academic learning is usually in the spotlight at school, but teaching elementary-age students “soft” skills like self-control and how to get along with others might help to keep at-risk kids out of criminal trouble in the future, a study finds.
Duke University researchers looked at a program called Fast Track, which was started in the 1990s for children who were identified by their teachers and parents to be at high risk for developing aggressive behavioral problems.
The students were randomized into two groups; half took part in the intervention (干预), which included a teacher-led curriculum, parent training groups, academic tutoring and lessons in self-control and social skills. The program, which lasted from first grade through tenth grade, reduced arrests and use of health and mental health services as the students aged through adolescence and young adulthood, as researchers explained in a separate study.
In the latest study, researchers looked at the “why” behind those previous findings. In looking at the data from nearly 900 students, the researchers found that about a third of the impact on future crime outcomes was due to the social and self-regulation skills the students learned from ages 6 to 11.
The academic skills that were taught as part of Fast Track turned out to have less of an impact on crime than did the soft skills, which are associated with emotional intelligence.
“The conclusion that we would make is that these soft skills should be emphasized even more in our education system and in our system of socializing children,” says Kenneth Dodge, a professor at Duke who was a principal investigator in this study as well as in the original Fast Track project.
Parents should do all they can to promote these skills with their children, Dodge says, as should education policymakers.
To Neil Bernstein, a psychologist in Washington, D.C., who specializes in child and adolescent behavior disorders, the researchers’ findings seem to match what he’s seen among the general public in working with children for more than 30 years. And while he says he agrees with the importance of teaching self-control and social skills, he would add empathy to the list, too.
“Empathy is what makes us aware of the feelings of others, and when you’re empathic, you’re much less likely to hurt someone else’s feelings,” says Bernstein, who serves on the advisory board for the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids. “Being in tune with how someone else feels might also make adolescents avoid bullying and other behaviors of concern,” Bernstein says.
While Bernstein thinks the study’s findings are meaningful and could potentially serve as a model for schools, he says that collectively getting a school system, teachers, parents and students all motivated enough to take part in an intervention like Fast Track is challenging.
【1】Fast Track is aimed to ________.
A．improve children’s academic skills
B．help the children with behavior disorders
C．identify the problematic children
D．classify children into different groups
【2】Neil Bernstein thinks that ________.
A．empathic children are more likely to have higher emotional intelligence
B．the findings of the studies disagree with what he has found in his work
C．empathy is equally essential in educating and socializing children
D．self-control and social skills are not as important as empathy
【3】What can be learned from the passage?
A．It’s hard to involve everyone concerned in applying the findings.
B．Soft skills were not part of the education system in the past.
C．The findings are meaningless unless guided by Fast Track.
D．Adolescence is the most critical stage in a person’s life.
【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．Academic skills are paid too much attention at schools.
B．Academic skills have no influence on children’s behaviors.
C．Soft skills are much harder to develop than academic skills.
D．Soft skills play a significant role in preventing future crimes.
24、 The e-commerce company that retailers (零售商) talk about most these days is neither Amazon, the American giant, nor Alibaba, China’s biggest. It is Pinduoduo (PDD), a Chinese firm that started in 2015 as an online food supplier, but whose success has driven its market value above $200bn. Last year it was China’s fastest-growing Internet stock, rising by 330%.
PDD attracts attention for two reasons. One is its business model. David Liu, vice-president of strategy, explains that it has drawn on the popularity of smart phone in China to create an e-commerce experience in which people club together to buy products from robot vacuum-cleaners (吸尘器) to bananas. During the pandemic this has expanded into a fast-growing business across thousands of towns and villages, in which PDD’s users gather to buy local farm produce at low prices. Some call this “community group-buy”. Mr. Liu calls it “interactive (互动的) commerce”. It is one of the hottest parts of the Chinese Internet.
The second is the way PDD has broken the record of giants of online shopping. Until a few years ago, China’s e-commerce market seemed a two-way competition (竞争) between Alibaba and JD.com, a competitor platform. No longer. Elinor Leung of CLSA, a brokerage (经纪公司), expects PDD’s share of online retail in China to go beyond that of JD in 2021. She expects the number of users over Alibaba. And although PDD put a huge amount of money to lower the prices of goods, ensuring the customers from poorer parts of China easy access to its app, she thinks it may turn profitable this year.
Remarkably, the key to its success focused on parts of the market they have been unable to reach instead of defeating its bigger competitors. Although online sales of groceries have rocketed during the pandemic, less than a tenth of the 8.1trn yuan ($1.25trn) farm-produce market is bought and sold digitally. “We are continuing to grow the pie,” says Mr Liu. That lesson applies elsewhere too. However, no matter how a future market looks, there is opportunity for new online businesses because e-commerce is at an early stage of development.
【1】What does the underlined “club together” mean in Paragraph 2?
A．Share the expenses.
B．Have a club together.
C．Buy something in groups.
D．Interact with each other.
【2】What mainly makes PDD go off with a bang?
A．Ensuring easy access to the app.
B．Exploring new markets.
C．Lowering the price of goods.
D．Competing with giants of online shopping.
【3】Which of the following may Elinor Leung agree with?
A．E-commerce has yet to be developed fully.
B．PDD may end up making profits this year.
C．PDD is China’s fastest-growing largest Internet business.
D．PDD’s share of online retail in China has gone beyond that of JD in 2021.
【4】What’s Mr Liu’s attitude towards the future e-commerce?
A．Negative.
B．Causal.
C．Positive.
D．Objective.
【5】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．There’s opportunity for new online businesses.
B．E-commerce profits may become harder to make.
C．The Amazons and Alibabas are not as strong as they might seem.
D．PDD, China’s fastest-growing online business is to beat giants of e-commerce.
