I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I r

2、emember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself an infi

3、nite number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra, and I didn't even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quite excited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I was

4、 enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too. I've noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to se

5、lf-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth, and achievements. Success, wealth, or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses are not happy with what they are do

6、ing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. Please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination. 1. What can we know from Paragraph 1? A. The author has a great talent for algebra. B

7、. Creative thinking is necessary for every child. C. The BASIC code of the computer is not difficult. D. The author's experience in his childhood changed his life. 2. The author wants to tell us through his experience in the school that ________. A. interest is the best teacher B.

9、C. one will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things that he wants D. being enthusiastic about what you do is more important than wealth B Parents are fuelling bad behavior among their children by attempting to "buy" their love with expensive gifts nowadays. Over recent dec

10、ades we seem to have created a "must have" culture among our young people. Many mothers and fathers believe they are "failing as parents" if they are unable to ensure that their children have the latest toy, electronic devices (the lap-top, cell phones, Game Boy, etc.) along with

11、 their friends. In many cases, families also feel pressured to enroll (使加入) children in "'every interest club or after-school activity that is available" to fill up their time like most of the other children. But experts warned that the move might affect "precious family time&

12、quot; negatively. Graham Gorton, chairman of the Independent Schools Association, said that parents spent too much time filling their children's lives, which had a series of negative effects on "the very precious family time that exists". "It seems that those times when a whol

13、e weekend without planned work was seen as a luxury (奢侈) and a perfect opportunity to spend time together and share those valuable moments of childhood are long gone," Mr. Gorton said. "As a child I only once said that phrase that parents feared 'I'm bored'. Immediately my moth

14、er took action and produced a list of jobs and then insisted that I complete every one of them. Though l didn't think cleaning all the floors could really get rid of my boredom, I enjoyed the feeling of staying at home with my mother and brothers." Earlier this year, some researchers su

15、ggested that relatively wealthy parents were sometimes guilty of failing to teach basic social skills to children. "Often, it’s the rich middle classes that buy off their children through the computer and the TV. That then sets them apart from their family, and then the parents are surprised wh

16、en their child isn’ t coming to school." 4. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________. A. today’s children have little time to play B. today’s children depend on electronic tools too much C. today’s parents feel pressured by the "'must have" culture D. being qualifi

18、e a better future. D. That parents must have patience to know their children better. 6. Which of the following is the best advice you could give to parents based on Gorton’s statement? A. Plan fewer activities for their children to improve family time. B. Buy their children fewer things that the

19、y are fond of. C. Give their children more housework to do. D. Leave their children alone when the kids feel bored. 7. From the passage we can infer that ________. A. wealthy parents don’t like teaching basic social skills to children B. parents should be much more strict with their children a

20、t home C. children should not be brought up in a wealthy and pleasant environment D. only satisfying children’s material needs is not a good way of parenting C There is some unwelcome news for students preparing for exams and officers putting in long hours-----you don't need the break as

21、 much as you may think that makes you feel less tired Scientists have long assumed that willpower is a limited resource, which is why you feel the need to have a rest, have a snack and come back to a task when you're feeling better. They argued that the only way to restore willpower was by rest

22、, food or entertainment. But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak willpower is all in your head. They found that people's beliefs in willpower determine how long and how well they'll be able to work on a tough mental exercise. "If you think of willpower as something t

23、hat's limited, you're more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task," said Prof. Veronika Job. "'But if you think of willpower as something that is not easily used up, you can go on and on." The researchers designed four experiments to test students'-beli

24、efs in willpower. After a tiring task, those, who believed or were led to believe that willpower is a limited resource, performed worse on standard concentration tests than those who thought of willpower as something they had more control over. They also found that leading up to final exam week, stu

25、dents who believed the limited resource theory ate junk food 24 percent more often than those who believed they had more control in resisting temptation (誘惑). Mr. Job said. "The theory that willpower is a limited resource is interesting, but it has had unintended consequences. Students who

26、 may already have trouble studying are being told that their power of concentration is limited, and they need to take frequent breaks. But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges.'" The findings could help people

27、who are battling temptation. Willpower isn't driven by a biologically based process as much as we used to think. The belief in it is what influences your behavior. 8. The theory that willpower is limited supports that _________. A. people must eat snacks when they feel tired B. people do ne

28、ed a break to restore their willpower C. there’s no way to strengthen people’s willpower D. weak willpower doesn’t affect people’s life much 9. What have the scientists long believed regarding willpower? A. It is in the charge of people. B. It is a limited resource. C. There

29、 is no way to restore willpower. D. It doesn’t easily run out. 10. Which of the following best helps the students to prepare better for their exams? A. Push themselves even if they want to take a break. B. Don’t eat fast food while studying. C. Remind themselves willpower is not limited

30、. D. Stay in a comfortable and quiet place. 11. What’s the best title for the passage? A. A new theory about willpower B. How to build strong willpower C. The great influence of willpower D. Willpower doesn’t last long D We know that hugs mak

31、e us feel easy inside. And this feeling, it turns out, could actually ward off stress and protect r the immune (免疫) system, according to a new research from Carnegie Mellon University. It’s a well-known fact that stress can weaken the immune system. In this study, the researchers sought to determin

32、e whether hugs----like social support more broadly ----could protect individuals from the increased sensitivity to illness brought on by the particular stress that come with interpersonal conflict. “We know that people experiencing ongoing conflicts with others are less able to fight off cold virus

33、es. We also know that people who report having social support are partly protected from the effects of stress on psychological states, such as depression and anxiety, “the study’s lead author, psychologist Dr. Sheldon Cohen , said in a statement. “We tested whether awareness of social support is equ

34、ally effective in protecting us from sensitivity to infection caused by stress and also whether receiving hugs might partially account for those feeling of support and thus protect a person against infection.” In the experiment , over 400 healthy adults filled out a questionnaire about their percei

35、ved (感知) social support and also participated in a nightly phone interview for two weeks . They were asked the frequency they engaged in interpersonal conflicts and received bugs that day. Then, the researchers exposed the participants to a common cold virus, and monitored them to assess signs of i

36、nfection. They found that both perceived social support and more frequent hugs reduced the risk of infection associated with experiencing interpersonal conflict. Regardless of whether or not they experienced social conflicts, infected participants with greater perceived social support and more frequ

37、ent hugs had less severe illness symptoms. “This suggests that being hugged by a trusted person may act as an effective means of conveying support and that increasing the frequency of hugs might be an effective means of reducing the effects of stress,” Cohen said. “The apparent protective effect of

38、 hugs may result from the physical contact itself or hugging being a behavioral indicator of support and closeness. Either way, those who receive more hugs are somewhat more protected from infection.” If you need any more reason to go wrap your arms around someone special, consider this: hugs also

39、lower blood pressure, reduce fearsome around death and dying, improve heart health and decrease feeling of loneliness. 12. In Paragraph 1, the underlined words “ward off “can be replaced by ________. A. produce B. increase C. prevent D. support 13. Dr. Sheldon Cohen’s experiment show

40、s that ________. A. hugs can hide serious illness symptoms B. social conflicts can monitor signs of infection C. social support can reduce the risk of having a cold D. depression and anxiety result from less social support 14. The passage aims to convey that ________. A. hugs can have protec

41、tive effects B. social support can sure diseases C. interpersonal conflicts cause infections D. stress can weaken our immune system 15. The passage is most likely to be found in ____. A. a social science magazine B. a commercial brochure C. a medical report D. an academic essay 第
