26、Most of us have told a lie at one time or another. Some lies are harmful. Others are mostly harmless. Still other lies may even be created with the best of intentions. But no matter what kind of lie you tell, it takes a great deal of brainpower to keep your lie covered.
People lie for different reasons. Sometimes they do it to make themselves look better. Sometimes they lie to get out of trouble. Some lies are well-intended, which scientists call “prosocial lies”. Maybe you tell your parents that you loved the sweater they gave you for your birthday (even though you were really hoping for a new cell phone). That’s a prosocial lie.
When you tell the truth, your brain doesn’t have to do anything unusual. Lying takes much more work. For example, when you are late for class, you tell a lie that you have to stop by the library and pick up a book. Your teacher may ask to see the book or even ask you to read it. This may result in a series (系列) of lies, causing a lot of brain work done in the prefrontal cortex (前额皮层). It’s the part in charge of working memory. Working memory keeps something in mind just for a little while. When you use self-control to keep from telling the truth, this part comes into play.
Spending so much brainpower trying to keep a story straight means prefrontal cortex has a harder time doing other tasks that require planning, self-control or working memory, such as planning a study schedule. Kid’s prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until around age 25. So they have fewer resources (资源) there to begin with. That is why researchers feel it’s important that kid students find dependable people to whom they can safely tell even painful truths about themselves.
“Nearly all cultures value honesty,” Talwar says. And, she adds, “There are things people can do to help create a culture that strengthens the value of honesty. Rather than punishing people for lying, it is more important to praise them for telling the truth.”
【1】What does the first paragraph intend to tell us?
A．Lying steals brainpower.
B．Harmless lies are welcome.
C．Trust is nowhere to be seen.
D．Many lies are well intended.
【2】What do we learn about prosocial lies?
A．They bring tellers a lot of fun.
B．They get tellers out of trouble.
C．They make receivers feel good.
D．They lead receivers to a deep thinking.
【3】Why should kids tell truths to dependable people according to researchers?
A．To make them feel safe.
B．To improve their control.
C．To guide their study schedule.
D．To free up their working memory.
【4】What does Talwar suggest to strengthen the value of honesty?
A．Making people suffer from telling lies.
B．Giving people praise for being honest.
C．Helping people to lead a creative life.
D．Asking people to learn different cultures.
27、The trouble with school is that you can’t choose the people you get to see every day. If you’re unlucky enough to be stuck with classmates who don’t really “get” you, you’ve just got to try to make the best of it.
But that doesn’t mean you need to “fit in”, or at least in the way that people think. If you try to transform yourself into a clone of everyone else, it won’t help you make friends. It’ll just make you feel like a fake.
You also shouldn’t shut down or refuse to be friends with everyone who doesn’t like you. If you do that, you’ll just make yourself miserable. Instead, you’ve got to work on being comfortable and confident with whom you are while ignoring（忽略）all the haters. Keep on speaking up, asking questions and getting to know people better. If you send out positive energy, then people will generally send some back to you. A couple of them will stay the same, and you’re allowed to forget about them.
If you feel like you’ve doing all that but still not getting anywhere, then don’t give up. Just expand your circle. Get a part-time job at a cool-looking place, join an after-school art class or youth group—do whatever it takes to find a couple of like-minded people to connect with. Even if you don’t find anyone right away, you’ll still be getting some more social experiences under your belt, and that’s always a good thing.
A fun book called Uncool, by Erin Elisabeth Conley, has some tips for folks like you who want to stay positive at school while being true to your personality:
• Throw caution to the wind.
• Don’t tolerate others’ mistakes.
• Have patience with people who are different from you.
• Don’t change just because someone else thinks you should.
• Know that even though you may be a misfit, there’s always some place where you will be welcomed in the world.
【1】According to the author, what should you do if you meet people who don’t appreciate you?
A．Just give up.
B．Ask someone else for help.
C．Show positive attitude toward them
D．Try your best to fit in with them.
【2】The author agrees that you should take part in more activities in order to .
A．get more chances of making friends
B．lay a better foundation for your future jobs
C．transform yourself into a clone.
D．make you feel like a fake.
【3】In the book Uncool, Erin Elisabeth Conley thinks you should .
A．always be kind to your friends
B．keep your own personality

28、Two high school students have identified four new planets in distant space about 200-light-years from Earth, making them “the youngest astronomers” to make such a discovery.
Kartik Pingle, 16, and Jasmine Wright, 18, who both attend schools in Massachusetts, participated in the Student Research Mentoring Program (SRMP). With the help of Tansu Daylan, an MIT doctor for Astrophysics and Space Research, the students studied and analyzed data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Together they focused on Tess Object of Interest (TOI) 1233, a nearby, bright sun-like star and here they found four planets rotating (旋转) around the star. “We were looking to see changes in light over time,” Pingle explained, “the idea is that if the planet transits the star, or passes in front of it, it would periodically cover up the star and decrease its brightness.”
While studying 1233, Pingle and Wright had at least hoped to find one planet, but were overwhelmed with joy when a total of four were spotted. “I was very excited and very shocked.” Wright said. “We knew this was the goal of Daylan's research, but to actually find a multi-planetary system, and be part of the discovering team, was really cool."
Three of the newly discovered planets are considered as “sub-Neptunes”, which are gaseous (气态的), but smaller than the Neptune that lives in our solar system. While observing the planets, the team determined each one completes their orbit around 1233 every six to 19.5 days. However, the fourth planet is labeled a “super-Earth” for its large size and rockiness---this one orbits around the star in just under four days.
“We have long been studying planets beyond our solar system and with multi-planetary systems, the two young students are kind of hitting the jackpot. They are really blessed.” Daylan said, “The planets originated from the same disk of matter around the same star, but they ended up being different planets with different atmospheres and different climates due to their different orbits. So, we would like to understand the fundamental processes of planet formation and evolution using this planetary system.”
Daylan added that it was a “win-win" to work with Pingle and Wright on the study. “As a researcher, I really enjoy interacting with young brains that are open to experimentation and learning and have minimal bias.” he said, “I also think it is very beneficial to high school students, since they get exposure to cutting-edge research and this prepares them quickly for a research career.”
【1】How did the two students identify the four planets?
A．By helping professor Tansu Daylan with the data.
B．By analyzing the change of brightness of star 1233.
C．By studying Neptune that lives in our solar system.
D．By interacting with other young talented brains.
【2】What is special about the discovery?
A．It was made by two high school students.
B．It was made with an innovative approach.
C．It was meant to be made by Tansu Daylan.
D．It found the largest number of planets at a time.
【3】Which of the following is closest in meaning to “hitting the jackpot” in paragraph 5?
A．Making a discovery difficultly.
B．Achieving the goal easily.
C．Succeeding in something luckily.
D．Performing a task carefully.
【4】According to the article, what benefits does the study bring?
A．It allows the scientists to work with young people without prejudice.
B．It equips future astronomers with better researching capabilities.
C．It provides more perspectives and thus boosts more discoveries.
D．It arouses students’ interest in exploring the unknown universe.
