26、Six annoying “facts” people have to finally stop believing in
1. Walt Disney did not create Mickey Mouse.
His close friend and collaborator Ub Iwerks did, though he was “denied credit” for creating this major piece of pop culture history. Iwerks came up with the character in 1928.
2. Albert Einstein never flunked a math class as a child.
When the adult Einstein was shown a newspaper article claiming he had, he replied, “Before I was 15, I had mastered differential and integral calculus (微积分).” While Einstein achieved high grades throughout his childhood education, he “hated the strict protocols followed by teachers and rote learning demanded of students” at the schools he attended.
3. Napoleon Bonaparte was not short.
Despite the fact that his name has become synonymous with “angry short man,” Napoleon Bonaparte was actually of average height for the time period in which he lived. His contemporaries described him as being 5'2", but the French measured height differently back in the day, so he was actually around 5'5". That made him just “an inch or so below the period’s average adult male height.”
4. Isaac Newton didn't discover gravity because an apple struck him on the head.
Rather, he witnessed an apple falling and wondered why objects always fall down instead of up or sideways, a thought that inspired his Law of Universal Gravitation.
5. Bats are not blind.
No, bats are not blind. Bats have small eyes with very sensitive vision, which helps them see in conditions we might consider pitch black. They don't have the sharp and colorful vision humans have, but they don't need that.
6. Black holes.
Not really “holes,” but rather hugely dense objects with massive gravitational pull.
【1】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．Unable to achieve high grades at school, Einstein hated the rigid rules.
B．Bats have small eyes but with the same sharp and colorful vision as humans.
C．Newton discovered gravity out of curiosity but by accident.
D．Black holes are huge objects with massive gravitational push.
【2】The text is written here in order to________.
A．present some common beliefs
B．clarify some popular myths
C．relate some interesting stories
D．list some historical facts
【3】Which section of a magazine may this text be found in?
A．Entertainment.
B．History.
C．Education.
D．Popular science.
27、 There is no point destroying your peace of mind and happiness by taking the wrong job. Society may pressure you into grabbing (抓住) whatever you can get. If you do not have a set path that must be taken, then you have the opportunity to choose something you will not only be paid for doing, but enjoy.
One of the best ways of finding a suitable career is to determine your personality type. It may seem obvious that the creative (创造性的) type does not really find much pleasure in a job as a butcher (屠夫) or dry cleaning assistant (助手), and that weak character may not find happiness in a career based on teaching or leading a team.
To find the best job for your personality type, the first step is to know what and who you really are. If you already know your style, you can search for suitable employment; however, if you are uncertain, there are ways that will help you discover who and what you are. For example, an employment centre, a career adviser or an online quiz can help you.
Taking my own situation for example, am definitely (明确地) a creative type. Besides, I prefer to be my own boss or, if I cannot, at least I want to rely on a boss I truly both respect and admire. I do not like telling people what to do, or being told what to do. I do not relate well to regular 9-5 hours. I do not feel satisfied being paid a high wage for a bad job. I feel much happier at home. Combining my creativity, independence, and desire to stay at home, my ideal (理想的) career would be running home-operated- business involving (涉及) creativity. I actually happen to have chosen this solution; I am a writer, poet, author and publisher. I have suited my career to my personality type.
【1】The first paragraph is used as a(n) ________.
A.example B.introduction C.conclusion D.contrast
【2】The author thinks in order to find the right job we should first know about ________.
A.something about employment centre B.online job markets
C.our personality types D.the economic situation
【3】Which of the following statements about the author is TRUE?
A.He prefers to rely on his colleagues.
B.He dislikes home-operated businesses.
C.He likes giving orders to others and doesn’t like facing orders.
D.He doesn’t like the usual way of doing things.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Creativity and chances of success.
B.Jobs and your peace of mind.
C.Following the set path and making life easier.
D.Finding the right job for your personality type.
28、 Trees are “social creature” that communicate with each other in cooperative ways that hold lessons for humans, too, ecologist Suzanne Simard says. Simard grew up in Canadian forests as a child of loggers before becoming an ecologist. She's now a professor of forest ecology at the University of British Columbia.
Trees are linked to neighboring trees by a network of fungi below the surface of the earth that resembles the nervous networks in the brain, she explains. In one study, Simard watched as a Douglas fir tree that had been injured by insects appeared to send chemical warning signals to a pine nearby. The pine tree then produced defense enzymes to protect against the insect.
“This was a breakthrough,” Simard says. The trees were sharing “information that actually is important to the health of the whole forest.”
In addition to warning each other of danger, Simard says that trees have been known to share nutrients at critical times to keep each other healthy. She says the trees in a forest are often linked to each other via an older tree she calls a “mother” or “hub” tree.
“In connecting with all the trees of different ages, the mother trees can actually ease the growth of these young trees,” she says. “The young trees will link into the network of the old trees and benefit from that huge resource capacity. And the old trees would also pass a little bit of carbon and nutrients and water to the young trees, at crucial times in their lives, that actually help them survive.”
The study of trees took on a new resonance for Simard when she suffered from breast cancer. During her treatment, she learned that one of the medicines she relied on was actually obtained from what some trees produce for their own mutual defense. She explains her research on cooperation in the forest, and shares her personal story in the new book Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest.
【1】How could a Douglas fir tree send chemical warning signals to a pine nearby?
A．By an underground network of fungi.
B．By the nervous networks in the brain.
C．By making cooperation with each other.
D．By holding lessons to it as human beings.
【2】According to Simard, what was a breakthrough?
A．Simard was-brought up in Canadian forests.
B．She became a professor of forest ecology.
C．The pine tree produced defense enzymes.
D．Vital information was shared among trees.
【3】What helped Simard understand trees further?
A．Her rich knowledge of trees.
B．Her childhood in the forest.
C．Her medicine gained from trees.
D．Her research on cooperation.
【4】In Simard's book we may discover the wisdom of the forest except .
A．communicating cooperatively
B．warning each other of danger
C．sharing nutrients at critical times
D．sacrificing mother trees for survival
29、Seminole was far too accustomed to the business. Everyone sympathized with him depending an long hours minimum wage, and ill-mannered customers. Although struggling to pay his rent he still went all out to make those lucky enough to sit at his tables laugh. The day was going quick.
He was exhausted when he arrived to work the next day, but he went about his daily duties, putting on a brave face as customers complained about the food or questioned the bill. Usually as he prepared to close for the night, a couple of customers would sit down and order drinks. Most of the crew had left by closing time, but Seminole stayed to serve. Eventually, the last round was ordered and he gave them the bill. The minimum tip was suggested on the receipt. “Tomorrow will be better,” murmured he.
But luck wasn’t on his side. Evening approaching, a group of teenagers stepped in. Thankfully, they were polite and respectful. Their cheerful behavior began to rub off on him. As always, he did his best to make their dining experience a pleasant one.
Once they finished their dishes, he placed the bill on the table, accompanied with some candies. They placed their notes on the receipt and left smiling. When he returned to clear the table, he was shocked. The teenagers only left a tip of $3, but their total bill was more than $100. He'd gone above and beyond serving the tasty dishes. Ho would they be so rude?
Later that week, he struggled to let go of the awkward memories. He arrived at work and expected it to like any other, but there was something left behind the desk for him--a two-page handwritten letter from the teenagers with $18 attached, in which they explained they were unaware of the tipping practice due to it being their first time out alone. Everything suddenly made sense.
Seminole was so touched by their gesture that he uploaded a picture of the letter sharing their admirable efforts. Web visitors voiced their opinions, and the reaction was more than positive.
【1】Why did Seminole wear a brave face?
A．To serve better.
B．To relax himself.
C．To sell more drinks.

【2】What made the teenagers only leave a tip of $3?
A．Ignorance of tipping culture.
B．Dissatisfaction with the meal.
C．Gratitude for Seminole’s service.
D．Misunderstanding of tipping practice.
【3】What can we learn from the teenagers in the text?
A．One good turn deserves another.
B．Actions speak louder than words.
C．Honesty can turn into an opportunity.
D．It is better to make things right than not.
