26、 Mae Jemison was born in 1956 in Decatur, Alabama. Her father was a worker. Her mother was a school teacher. Both her parents encouraged their children to keep learning and go after their dreams.
One day when Mae was young, her thumb got hurt. She watched pus oozing out (脓流出). She was curious about pus: what was it and why was it coming out? That simple incident turned into a learning experience. She ended up doing a whole project on pus.
It was no surprise that Mae did well at school. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering (化学工程) and another degree in African and Afro-American Studies from Stanford University.
But Mae didn’t want to study or do just one thing. She chose to study medicine next at Cornell University Medical College. Then she became a doctor. She enjoyed her job, yet her childhood dream of going into space was still in her mind. So she later tried to join NASA’s astronaut (宇航员) training program.
She tried twice and was accepted finally! In 1992, her dream came true. She became the first African-American woman to go into space. Shortly after that, she quit from NASA to do other things. She then became a teacher at Dartmouth College.
Mae’s path wasn’t always easy. At that time, many believed that women didn’t have a place in the world of science. But nothing would stand in her way.
Through the course of her life, Mae was an excellent doctor, scientist and astronaut. Although she has left her job and stopped working, she’s still active. She speaks at many schools and talks about the importance of going after one’s dreams.

28、Choice of seating in the lecture hall can influence a college student’s grades, a study suggests.
Lectures are important in higher education. Researchers from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK examined students’ reasons for choosing particular seats in a lecture hall, and studied how seating positions influence student performance.
“Interaction (互动) is a key part of learning and knowing who the students are interacting with can be a great benefit when designing activities,” said David P Smith of Sheffield Hallam University.
Many students preferred being able to sit with their friends, while others were more concerned with either attracting or avoiding the lecturer’s attention. Some students chose seats that allowed them to see and hear clearly, while others picked seats that are easy for them to leave and that make them feel less anxious, researchers said.
Friendship groups who sat together tended to achieve similar grades, and students who sat alone at the edges tended to do worse than average.
Lecturers may be able to use these findings to provide assistance to anxious students, and to support the learning of all students by encouraging interactions between the different groups.
Appraising (评估) classroom rows based on academic success, some professors have found out that the front rows are usually held by outgoing scholarly students.
“I notice the more prepared and active students sit in front rows.” said Dr. Chris Hammons, dean of the College of Arts and Humanities and chair of the department of government (London). Perhaps more importantly, the front row may be the ideal location for shy, timid students who have trouble paying attention. Also, sitting closer to the front of the room does have an effect on student-teacher interaction, which is linked to greater academic performance. According to a study published in 2013, students’ grades lowered by 0.1 point for every row further back students sit.
【1】What is the most important part of learning according to David P Smith?
A．Lectures.
B．Seats.
C．Interaction.
D．Activities.
【2】How can lecturers use these findings to help students?
A．By providing assistance to anxious students.
B．By helping them to choose their friends carefully.
C．By providing them with suggestions on choosing seats.
D．By encouraging them to interact with different groups.
【3】Where does a student prefer to sit if he wants to get higher scores?
A．In the front row.
B．In the middle row.
C．In the back row.
D．At the edges.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage？
A．Students should choose seats carefully.
B．A study on seats is carried out by researchers.
C．Different students may choose different seats.
D．Seating position can influence students’ scores.
29、 A large number of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Many believe that music helps creativity.
However, an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that opinion. Psychologists from Lancaster University, The University of Gävle, and The University of Central Lancashire say that their findings show music actually blocks creativity.
To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants(参与者) complete verbal insight problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music “badly affected” the participants’ ability to complete tasks related to verbal creativity.
The tasks were simple word games. For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, dial, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word related to all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunflower, etc).
Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while exposed to three different types of music; music with unfamiliar words, instrumental music, or music with familiar words. “We found strong evidence of damaged performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author Dr. Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University.
To conclude, the findings challenge the popular view that music encourages creativity, and instead prove that music consistently disrupts creative performance in dealing with problems.
【1】What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.A new idea about music while working. B.Music encourages creativity while working.
C.Music does harm to creativity while working. D.We’d better not listen to music while working.
【2】The underlined word “block” in the 2nd paragraph probably means “________”
A.lift B.strengthen C.raise D.limit
【3】How did the researchers get the conclusion according to the paragraph 5?
A.By comparing. B.By following time order. C.By analyzing causes and effects. D.By presenting the process.
【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.While working, we can listen to some familiar music.
B.Music has no effect on our creativity while working.
C.To improve our creativity, we should choose to work in quiet background conditions.
D.Music does more good than harm to our health.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其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。
It was dark, cold and raining on December 24. James left his office and walked slowly across the street to the parking place. He was very tired. He took out his car key and put down his umbrella. He put the key into the lock and turned it. Nothing happened. The door would not open. Then James realised that it was the wrong car. His car was red, but this one was dark blue. “Oh dear! I must have parked in a different place this morning,” thought he. Putting up his umbrella, he set off to look for his car. The rain poured down and the evening got colder and colder.
Having walked round all the side streets, James didn’t find his car. He was exhausted and angry. “Someone must have stolen my car,” he thought. “Now I shall have to go to the police station and report it.” The policeman there was very helpful. He wrote down a description of James car and then took his address and telephone number. As James was leaving, the policeman wished him a merry Christmas.
“Christmas!” thought James. “Oh no! I’ve forgotten all about Christmas. I haven’t bought my wife a present and now all the shops are shut. What shall I do?” When waiting for the bus, he got wetter and more miserable (难受的). He had no umbrella and the rain flowed down into his collar. He felt like bursting into tears.
When James got home, he found his wife standing on a chair and looking for something in a very high cupboard. “What are you doing, Jessica?” he asked. “The big gold star for the Christmas tree,” Jessica replied. “Just a moment. I’ll go into the garage (车库) and fetch the stepladder (梯子) for you,” said James. When James saw .the well-decorated Christmas tree and lots of presents under it, he felt even more unhappy. “What a lovely tree!” he thought as he went downstairs, “I haven’t even got one present for Jessica. I’ve lost my car and I’m completely wet. I must have lost my umbrella, too.”
