21、It is not only praise or punishment that determines a child’s level of confidence. There are some other important ways we shape our kids—particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example, we can say to a child “Don’t run into traffic! ”or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and aren’t scaring themselves with what not to do.
Actually, it is all in the way the human mind works. When we think, we automatically practise. For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldn’t be able to do it. When a child is told “Don’t fall off the tree,” he will think of two things: “don’t” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind. A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off. So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”
Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things. Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words. So parents should make their commands positive. “Sam, hold on firmly to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Don’t you dare to fall out of the boat?” or “How do you think I’ll feel if you drown?” The changes are small but the difference is obvious.
Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.
【1】Why do we choose positive words when giving kids commands?
A．to help them to learn in different situations
B．to increase their confidence
C．to guide them to do things carefully
D．to improve their imagination
【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A．A child will act on what is instructed.
B．One won’t think of a blue monkey when given money.
C．A child will fall off the tree when told not to.
D．One can’t help imagining what is heard.
【3】Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?
A．How do you think I’ll feel if you get hurt?
B．Don’t walk on the grass.
C．Stay on the sidewalk until it’s safe to cross.
D．Don’t you dare to walk through the red light?
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Positive instructions guide kids
B．Praise makes kids confident
C．Right instructions keep kids safe
D．Clear commands make kids different
22、When you consciously keep thinking of something, your unconscious mind will somehow spontaneously(自发地) push that idea or issue back to the surface even when you are doing something else, because your unconscious mind accepts, stores and plays back everything that the conscious mind focuses on. The unconscious mind is like a “yes” person, agreeing, accepting and reminding.
Hence, your unconscious mind can respond positively or negatively, depending on how you have consciously conditioned it — by constantly thinking about something. For instance, if you keep telling yourself that it is very difficult to study English or that your English lecture is boring, then that thought will always crop up uninvited when you are chatting with someone or doing something else. That is how the unconscious mind works. Successful athletes who consciously, continuously and consistently focus on superior performance actually perform well because they are driven by their unconscious mind. It’s important to understand that whatever you consciously focus on, your unconscious mind will accept it. You need to think positively so that your unconscious mind will respond likewise. If you find yourself in a negative mood, discontinue that mood.
You must not hold a negative thought too long, or it will come back again and get more rooted in your system. Once you are in a negative system, it would take much more reprogramming to uproot the bad “trees” in your mind. You could have a full-grown negative “forest” in your mind — and that could take ages to uproot. So replace it with a positive thought. Affirm(强化) consciously, continuously and consistently your new positive image. Focus on the new trait visually and see yourself succeeding in it.
Review your behavior. Do you moan and groan too often? Do you talk like a loser? Are you small-minded, selfish and unforgiving? It’s time you consciously conditioned your unconscious mind to work in a positive manner.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “crop up” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Respond.
B．Arise.
C．Improve.
D．Occupy.
【2】How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2?
A．By analyzing relevant statistics.
B．By describing his personal experiences.
C．By explaining causes.
D．By providing examples.
【3】What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A．Positive thoughts can replace negative thoughts automatically.
B．Negative thoughts are obstacles to your academic performance.
C．It will take consistent efforts to get out of a negative system.
D．Negative thoughts result from your negative image in life.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Train Your Unconscious Mind
B．Uproot Your Unconscious Mind
C．Your Unconscious Mind Shapes Your Character
D．Conscious Mind Outweighs Unconscious Mind
23、Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing power of music.
A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians,and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician,even in a noisy environment.
Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about a thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate,and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular(心血管的) system.
【1】How does music affect preterm babies?
A．It helps reduce their pain.
B．It helps develop their potential in music.
C．It helps improve their hearing systems.
D．It helps repair their neurological systems.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Lead to.
B．Increase.
C．Prevent.
D．Break into.
【3】Why can music mend a broken heart?
A．It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.
B．It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.
C．It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.
D．It can help patients recover in a slow way.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A．Who can benefit from music?
B．The best time to listen to music
C．The way to choose quality music
D．How music affects our mind and body
24、 Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Kofi Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.
The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster, population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良) and heat-related health problems. But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.
Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.
Roger Pielke Jr., a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum’s report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受伤害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention.” But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”
However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.
In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the report.
【1】What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?
A.Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.
B.Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.
C.Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.
D.Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.
【2】What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum’s report?
A.Its statistics look embarrassing.
B.It is invalid in terms of methodology.
C.It deserves our closest attention.
D.Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.
【3】What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?
A.How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming.
B.How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.
C.How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.
D.How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.
