26、 Recently, a scientist did some experiments. He left a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a candy. If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the candy. If, however, they didn’t ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two candies.
In the videos of the experiments, he can see the children hiding their eyes, trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two candies. The results are different. Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted 15 minutes.
The children who waited longer went on to get higher academic scores. They got into better colleges and had better adult success. The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to have received worse teacher and parental evaluations (评价) 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.
The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, and how to become rich. But when the result is not good, they will come back to ask “How do we get people to get the sort of self-control that leads to success?” This is to enter the world of human nature.
So these experiments, along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is most important. Young people who can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language well. They can avoid drugs and alcohol. For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of failed and painful experience. No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas, such as drug use, stealing and so on.
【1】The scientist did some experiments to ________.
A. find good ways of training children to learn
B. show that children’s education is important
C. test children’s self-control and later success
D. test children’s intelligence of ringing the bell
【2】What do the underlined words “broke down” probably mean?
A. failed to wait. B. kept waiting.
C. hid the candy. D. ate the candy.
【3】How long did the scientist’s experiments last according to the text?
A. Just 15 minutes. B. Within 10 years.
C. Less than 14 years. D. About 28 years.
【4】What will the children without self-control do at school according to the text?
A. They will improve their education.
B. They will suffer a lot from boring lessons.
C. They will become very rich and successful.
D. They will work hard to catch up with others.
27、 Fixing photos can hurt
Posting selfies (自拍) online can be a fun way to share your life with your friends and family. But some people take their photos a bit too seriously and spend a lot of time editing them. This not only presents a “fake” image (形象) of those people to the world, but can even make people feel worse about themselves.
Researchers in Australia did a study in which 130 women aged 18 to 30 were asked to look at a series of photos. Some of the photos showed thin women, while others showed average-sized women. Afterwards, the women were asked to take a selfie with an iPad and were then given 10 minutes to edit the selfie.
The women were also asked about their personal dissatisfaction with their bodies and faces several times during the experiment—before and after viewing their images, and after editing their selfies.
The researchers’ findings showed that the longer the women took to edit and post their selfies, the more likely they were to have negative (消极的) feelings about their own appearance. In addition, the more heavily edited the photos were, the more likely it was that the women were dissatisfied with their facial appearance.
People are often pressured to present the best version (版本) of themselves. This in turn creates greater stress as they edit their photos to “perfection”, while they themselves don’t actually change, according to Professor Marika Tiggemann, one of the researchers. The findings show the difficulties people face when using social media.
【1】Why do some people spend plenty of time editing their photos?
A.Because they want to show people their fake image.
B.Because they want to make people feel worse about them.
C.Because they want to kill time.
D.Because they take their photos too seriously.
【2】Which things were the women asked to do in the study?
①To look at given photos ②To make their selfies
③To comment on given photos ④To express their attitudes
⑤To edit their selfies
A.①②③④ B.①②④⑤ C.①②③⑤ D.②③④⑤
【3】Which one of the following is NOT the research’s finding?
A.The longer one edits his selfies,the more likely he feels negative with his appearance.
B.The more heavily edited one’s selfies are,the more likely one dissatisfies with his face.
C.When people post online their best selfies, their stress may decrease.
D.Posting over—edited selfies online can make people feel worse about themselves.
【4】What do Professor Marika Tiggemann’s words mean in last paragraph?
A.One’s stress with over-edited selfies actually results from pressure.
B.One’s stress with over-edited selfies is related to his appearance change.
C.One’s stress can lead to his photos’ perfection.
D.One can present his best version of himself under no pressure.
28、Why can’t some people even get an inch of what they dream of being? Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of surrounding goals for achieving their dreams.
Setting goals is very significant part of accomplishing and positive actions. It is like scaling(攀爬) a 200 feet construction and marking in the early hours on what feet you would like to reach at this specific period.
People who set goals literally generate a map of their goal settings in life, marking where they should start, where to pause, where to study a bit, and where and when to end. Once this map comes into being, it allows the map drawer to check where he is in the scheme(安排) of things and whether or not he is making some planning that will take him closer to his goals.
By surrounding goals, people will know how they are doing and what they should be doing to get their goals or dreams in life. They will know if they can relax or if they have to double their efforts when they are falling short of what is expected of them.
Goal surroundings means a person is proactive in dealing with challenges that may affect his plans. Being proactive means one is able to outline possible difficulties that may occur as well as the solutions to these difficulties. By doing this, a person is not easily scared or defeated when challenges occur because he has already prepared for them. He knows they can happen and he has prepared a solution or strategy when that time comes.
Setting goals will enable people to track their progress in whatever hard work they set out to do. It will help people bee more confident in themselves and more motivated to get their plans.
【1】The purpose of this passage is to _______________.
A. explain the difference between the two goals.
B. show the importance of surrounding goals.
C. tell us how to set and achieve one’s goals.
D. tell us setting goals makes one confident.
【2】The underlined word “proactive” in paragraph 5 may have the closest meaning to “________”.
A. positive B. careful
C. brave D. prepared
【3】According to the author, one had better ___________ in making a goal in life.
A. take an active attitude
B. create a scheme as a whole
C. consider the possible troubles
D. check where he is frequently
【4】From the passage, we can reach the conclusion that___________________.
A. achievements come to those who are well prepared
B. everyone faces the situation which is scaring or threatening
C. the higher one sets his goal, the more achievements he will have
D. success never es to people who always blame
29、Guan Moye, better known as Mo Yan, is a Chinese novelist and short story writer. He has been referred to by Donald Morrison of U.S. news magazine, TIME, as “one of the most famous and widely pirated（盗版）of all Chinese writers”. He is best known to Western readers for Red Sorghum Clan（红高粱家族）, which was later adapted for the film, Red Sorghum. In 2012, Mo was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Mo Yan was born in Gaomi County, Shandong Province. He was 11 years old when the Cultural Revolution started, at which time he left school to work as a farmer. At the age of 18, he began to work at a factory. During this period, his access to literature was largely limited to novels.
At the close of the Cultural Revolution in 1976, Mo joined the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and began writing. During this period, the works of Chinese literature, as well as translations of foreign authors such as William Faulkner, made an impact on his works. In 1984, he received a literary award from the PLA Magazine, and at the same year he began attending the Military Art Academy, where he first used the pen name of Mo Yan. “Mo Yan” means “don’t speak” in Chinese. He explained that the name came from a warning from his father and mother about not saying what he thought when he was outside. It also related to the subject matter of his writings.
Mo’s first novel was Falling Rain on a Spring Night, published in 1981. Several of his novels were translated into English by Howard Goldblatt, professor of East Asian languages and literature, at the University of Notre Dame. He published his first novella（中篇小说）, A Transparent Radish, in 1984, and released Red Sorghum Clan in 1986, making him a nationally recognized novelist.

A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.
Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.
"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.
It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.
The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
