The Science of Risk-Seeking Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 1. Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work? The reason why any of us take any risks al all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 2. As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk. So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 3. No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 4. To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well. 5. For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active. As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool. A. It all depends on your character. B. Those are the risks you should jump to take. C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival. D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest. E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world. F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards. G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.
The idea of progress started to flower in the 17th century． At that time， many wise thinkers believed that man liberated（解放） by reason would rise to greater heights of achievement． The many expressions of human nature would be the engines of progress： language， business， science， and moral sensibility （道德感）． Unfortunately， most of those engines have failed to bring the desired human progress． The modern age has belonged to material progress and its main source has been science． Science gives people huge power to change the world． But can people be trusted to use it always for good？ Think of biotechnology and information technology． And it is not just that scientific progress does not deliver the emotional good． People also fear that mankind is failing to manage science properly． The forests are disappearing； the ice is melting； privacy is leaking； life is becoming a depressing march in an ugly world． The point is not that science is harmful， but that scientific progress needs to be mapped tidily onto human progress． That relies on moral sensibility in its widest sense． This liberal force offers hope for a better future． The very idea of moral sensibility probably sounds out﹣of﹣date． Bur researchers find that people desire a sense of moral purpose which would give life dignity （尊严）． People want to determine how the world works， not always to be determined by it． Moral sensibility is why people will suffer from their beliefs， and why acts of noble self﹣sacrifice are so powerful． It is admitted that our moral ideals will never be realized completely． But sometimes， however imperfectly， we can make progress． Human dignity requires the love of ideals for their own sake， but nothing requires that the love be returned． Human progress is neither guaranteed nor hopeless． Instead， it is up to us． 1.What do we know about human progress from Paragraph 1？ A. Human beings were greatly liberated by the idea of progress． B. Language failed to serve as an expression of human progress． C. People began to think about human progress in the 17th century． D. Many thinkers in the 17th century were optimistic about human progress． 2.Why does science fail to bring the desired human progress？ A. Scientific progress does not give people dignity． B. Proper governing is not guaranteed in the use of science． C. Science is misunderstood because of improper management． D. The engine of progress is sensitive and unreliable． 3.What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 refer to？ A. Depressing life B. Harmful science C. Human progress D. Moral sensibility 4.What is the main purpose of the passage？ A. To stress the function of the idea of progress． B. To express concern about the death of moral sensibility． C. To show the importance of moral sensibility in human progress． D. To blame the harm of material progress to human development．
They say the average person makes 35， 000 decisions a day． Yet in her new book， How Woman Decide， Therese Huston explores a widespread phenomenon that many women fail to notice． "There's a huge double standard when it comes to how men and women are viewed as decision﹣makers，" explains Therese， a psychologist from Seattle University． Therese decided to write the book after looking at her bookshelf： At one end， there were bestselling books about how to be a clever decision﹣maker ﹣ all written by men and featuring interviews with men like athletes． At the other end were books aimed at women on gaining leadership skills and confidence． "Once those women are at the table， will their decisions be taken as seriously as men's？" Therese wondered． "Men are respected as decision﹣makers more than women， especially in the workplace， largely because there's this cultural belief that women are unable to make smart choices at work． " So， Therese set out to pick apart the stereotypes（固有印象）to see what scientific research had found． "Scientific research shows that men and women struggle with decision﹣making equally． The only disadvantage I found was that during the teenage years﹣teenage girls are more indecisive than teenage boys． Otherwise， there's little difference between the genders（性别）． " However， there are some differences． "Women are more collaborative（协作的）， "says Therese． "A female boss is more likely to ask the opinions of those around her when making a choice． Women ask for input， which helps make better decisions． However， this is often seen as a weakness rather than a strength． " Therese also found that during times of stress， men and women make different choices， and the outcomes are often better when women are involved． Study after study backs this view up． Neuroscientists Mara Mather and Nicole Lighthall from the University of Southern California studied the way men and women make decisions and found that in times of stress， they react very differently． During their study， which involved playing a virtual gambling（赌博）game， they found that when the females became stressed， they made smart decisions ﹣ quitting while they were ahead or taking safe bets． But when the men became stressed， they did the opposite， risking everything for a slim chance of a big win． 1.Why did Therese Huston write her book How Women Decide？ A. Women are less respected as decision﹣makers． B. Women are not equally treated in workplaces． C. Women are unable to make smart choices． D. Women are poor at making big decisions． 2.What is women's weakness in decision﹣making according to Therese Huston？ A. Men can make quicker decisions than women． B. Women easily get stressed when making decisions． C. Women are likely to ask for input when making decisions． D. Teenage girls are less able to make decisions than teenage boys． 3.What can we infer from the last paragraph？ A. Women show less confidence in times of stress． B. Men tend to make risky decisions in times of stress． C. Men show great courage in times of stress． D. Women quit making decisions when ahead in games． 4.What's Therese's final conclusion according to the text？ A. Women are skillful as decision﹣makers． B. Men are weaker in making smart decisions． C. We should give up all cultural beliefs about gender（性别）． D. Great difference exists between the two genders in decision﹣making．
On the eve of our daughters' weddings， I gave both of them what I considered to be excellent marital advice： never leave your husband unsupervised （无人监督的） with pruning shears （修枝剪）． If only I had taken my own advice． I recently let my guard down． Thirty﹣some years of marriage can do that to a woman． Give a man pruning shears and electric trimmers （电动修剪器） and he will give new meaning to "armed and dangerous．" One day earlier this year， my husband said that the crab apple tree was dead． "Why do you think it is dead？" I asked． "Look at it． There's not a leaf on it．" "There's not a leaf on anything． It's March，" I said "It looked sick last fall and with this bitter winter we had， I'm convinced it's dead．" The truth is he's never liked the crabapple． Sure， it has beautiful blooms in the spring， but then it gets a disease， the leaves curl， and it drops those little apples that sit on the driveway． Each passing week he pronounced the tree dead． Eventually I began to believe him． Though he agreed it would be a regrettable loss， there was a twinkle in his eye． He armed himself a couple of weeks ago and began trimming． A branch here， a branch there， a small limb， then a large limb． I watched and then decided to check the wood on some of the branches closer to the trunk． I broke one off and saw green． The crabapple was not dead． It just hadn't had time to leaf out． The tree was now falling to one side， but it was not dead． I would have told him so， but he had moved on to a maple． Once the man starts， he can't stop． One trim leads to another． "Please， stop!" I called． He smiled and nodded， but he couldn't hear because he had started the hedge （树篱） trimmers and was getting ready to fix a line of hedges． Zip （飕飕声）， zip， zip． "What do you think？" he shouted． "It's supposed to be a privacy hedge； now all that will be private are our ankles．" He started the trimmers again． "Stop!" I called， "Come back!" "Why？" he shouted． "You're in the neighbor's yard．" 1.By saying "If only I had taken my own advice．" the author means that ． A. she didn't follow her own advice about pruning shears． B. she feels regretful about her marriage after many years． C. she shouldn't have kept a close watch on her husband． D. she shouldn't have given that marital advice to her daughters． 2.We can learn from the article that the author's husband ． A. has a great talent for gardening． B. nearly ruined their neighbor's garden． C. mistook their crab apple tree for a maple tree． D. had never used pruning shears before． 3.What does the article mainly talk about？ A. Why the author's husband insisted on trimming their crabapple tree． B. Why the author's husband shouldn't have been allowed to trim their crab apple tree． C. How the author has survived her "thirty﹣some" years of marriage． D. How the author's husband killed their crab apple tree． 4.What is the tone of the article？ A. Anxious． B. Critical． C. Serious． D. Humorous．

The Four-step Approaches to Managing Anger If something happens that makes you feel angry, try these following steps.1..Maybe it will help you prevent angry feelings from building up inside. Identify the problem. Start by noticing what you’re angry about and why. 2.. Ask yourself: What’s got you angry? What’s your feeling and why? You can do this either in your mind or out loud, but it needs to be clear and specific. Think of potential solutions. This is where you stop for a minute to give yourself time to manage your anger. It’s also where you start thinking of how you might react—but without reacting yet. Ask yourself: What can you do? Think of at least three things. 3.. This is where you think about what is likely to result from each of the different reactions you came up with. Ask yourself: What will happen for each one of these options? Make a decision. This is where you take action by choosing one of the three things you could do.4.. Ask yourself: What’s your best choice? Once you choose your solution, then it’s time to act. Check your progress.5.. Ask yourself: How did you do? Did things work out as you expected? If not, why not? Are you satisfied with the choice you made? Taking some time to reflect on how things worked out after it’s all over is a very important step. It helps you learn about yourself and it allows you to test which problem-solving approaches work best in different situations. A. Learn to receive the fact. B. They help you cool down when you feel like your anger might explode. C. Put into words what’s making you upset so you can act rather than react. D. Look at the list and pick the one that is likely to be the most effective. E. It’s called a problem-solving approach. F. After you’ve acted and the situation is over, spend some time thinking about how it went. G. After that you should consider the consequences of each solution.
Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it is steamy, warm, damp and thick. But if you had been around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same? For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted to the cold, dry climates of the ice ages, but until now, no one has reached a satisfying answer. Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming. Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 giving off in the UK each year. But how will the Amazon react to future climate change? If it gets drier, will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2 ? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past. Unfortunately, getting into the Amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult. To study past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen, kept in lake mud. Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments （沉淀物）which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes. Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled（未取样）.So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change. 1.What does the underlined phrase “mopping up” in the second paragraph mean? A. Giving up. B. Giving out. C. Wiping out. D. Taking in. 2.How will the Amazon rainforest react to future climate change? A. It’ll get drier and continue to remove CO2 . B. There is no exact answer up to present. C. It’ll get warmer and then colder and drier. D. It’ll remain steamy, warm, damp and thick. 3.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. It’s important to drill deep down into lake sediments to collect information. B. It’s impossible to prove how climate changes in the Amazon rainforest. C. It’s hard to collect information for studies of the past climate in the Amazon rainforest. D. It’s necessary to have specialized equipment and machinery to study the past climate. 4.What is the best title for this passage? A. Studies of the Rainforests B. Climates of the Amazon C. Secrets of the Ice Age D. Changes of the Rainforests
With golden sunshine and a gentle breeze（微风）, autumn is the most beautiful seasons in the year. This is a great time to go outside and have fun. Go to a valley to see red maple trees,go and pick fruit in an orchard or find an open field to fly your kite in. However, for many high school students, these great activities may be just a dream. With plenty of work to do, they spend all their hours indoors, struggling for a high mark in their exams. Of course, study is one of the most important things for teenagers. But life is definitely much more than that. Sometimes we spend so much time studying that we forget how to make life wonderful. In doing so, we lose the real purpose of life —to be a valuable and happy person. To enjoy just how great it is to be alive, we have to put down our books and pens and look around us. Students, take some exercise to improve your health, talk with your parents and friends for understanding and walk around outside to refresh（振作）our body and mind. Going out and enjoying the beautiful countryside often helps our creativity in our work. Chinese craftsman, Lu Ban created a saw to help woodworkers. But if he hadn’t walked outside, he would not have been inspired by a kind of toothed（锯齿状的）grass. We could also suppose if Newton hadn’t rested under that apple tree, then he wouldn’t have been hit by an apple, and his classic（经典的）theories would not have come out. Going out is not only a break from hard work, but a chance to add to life experience. So come on, give your brain a good rest. Step out of the books and get your bag ready for an autumn outing. We are sure you will get much more than knowledge from the exciting journey. 1.In which paragraph does the writer make a summary about his opinion? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5. 2.Why is going out a dream for many high school students? A. They are unhappy to do so. B. They have too much work to do for getting high marks in the exams. C. Their parents don’t allow them to do so. D. They think study is the most important thing for them. 3.The passage is developed mainly by______________. A. describing the beautiful scenery in Autumn B. pointing out the present situation of high school students C. making predictions D. reasoning and giving examples 4.What message can you learn from the passage? A. Going out can make high school students get more. B. Nature is power. C. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. D. The author isn’t happy with our education at all.
Compassion（同情）is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register（收款机）with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day. I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if fortune had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job. Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable, “Charge it to me,” was all he said. What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion. 1.The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits______. A. promised to obey the store rules B. hoped to have the food first and pay later C. forgot to take his credit card with him D. could not afford anything more expensive 2.Which of the following best describes the old gentleman? A. Kind and lucky. B. Friendly and helpful. C. Poor and lonely. D. Hurt and disappointed. 3.Why did the author refuse the old gentle man’s request first? A. He considered the old man dishonest. B. He felt no pity for the old gentleman. C. He wanted to keep his present job. D. He expected someone else to pay for the old man. 4.What lesson did the author learn from this experience? A.

One day， we were hiking in the Oakland woods when my daughter noticed plastic litter in a stream． She looked at me and said， "Daddy That doesn't go there． " What she said brought me back to a summer camp． On the morning of a visiting day， right before they let our anxious parents come running through the gates， our camp director would say，"Quick! Everyone， pick up five pieces of litter． You get a couple hundred kids each picking up five pieces， and pretty soon， you've got a much cleaner camp． So I thought， why not use that crowdsourced tidying model to the entire planet？ And that was the inspiration （灵魂）for Litterati． The goal is to create a litter﹣free world． Let me show you how it started． I took a picture of a cigarette using Instagram． Then I took another photo……and another photo． And I started telling people what I was doing， and they started to join． We were becoming a community（共同体）that was collecting photos． Each photo tells a story． It tells us who picked up what and when． So I built a Google map， showing where pieces were being picked up． And gradually， the community grew and the Literati grew． If you really want to create change， there's no better place to start than with our kids． A group of fifth graders picked up 1， 247pieces of litter just on their schoolyard． And they learned that the most common type of litter was the plastic straw wrappers（包装纸）from their own dining hall． So these kids went to their headmaster and asked， "Why are we still buying straws？"And they stopped． And they learned that separately they could each make a difference but together they created an influence． It doesn't matter if you're a student or a scientist， whether you live in Honolulu or Hanoi this is a community for everyone． 1.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean？ A.

Time is time， no matter where we are in the world． However， it seems like whenever we wait for a friend to get ready， five minutes can seem like a whole day． And meanwhile， a really interesting two﹣hour movie may feel like it only lasted a few minutes． So， how is it that time doesn't always seem to follow the same rules？ What actually affects（ 影响）our feeling of time？ According to a new study published in the journal Nature in August， the differences in how we sense time come from a"clock？ inside our brain． However， the brains clock， controlled by a network of brain cells， gets its sense of time from our experiences and memories， reported Medical News Today． So， unlike regular clocks， our brain forms a " subjective（主观的） time coming from the ongoing flow of experience，" Edvard Moser， director of the Kavli Institute based at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology， explained in Neuroscience News． To examine the activity of this network， a team of scientists at the Kavli Institute studied the brain activity of rats for several hours， during which time the rats were required to complete a series of activities． According to Neuroscience News， it was found that when the rats carried out any repetitive（重复的）activities， the brain network became more precise． It matched the actual time of day． On the other hand， when they took part in any exciting experiences the brain network didn't rely on real time markers． This led to time passing unconsciously（无意识地）． According to Moser， to speed up or slow down the brain's clock depends on whether the brain simply judges time based on experiences it processes（加工）． "If we change what we are doing， we also change our experience of time， he told the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation． " It's not about clock time but about our subjective feeling of time． 1.The author gives the examples in paragraph 1mainly to show ． A. time is sometimes changed depending on where we are B. five minutes sometimes is equal to a whole day C. an interesting two﹣hour movie actually lasts less than two hours D. time doesn't always seem to go on a regular basis 2.According to Moser， the brain's clock is affected by ． A. regular clock time B. personal experiences C. physical health D. the number of activities 3.The text is mainly about ． A. how to judge time B. how to value time C. how our brain works D. how our brain senses time
Back in 1963， a company in the US was suffering from low employee（员工） spirit． Everyone was worried that they might lose their jobs， since the company had just joined up with another company， which meant there were suddenly more employees than needed． That was when Harvey Ball（1921﹣2001）， an artist， was invited by the company to find a way to raise the workplace's spirit． It took Ball less than 10 minutes to draw a smiley face on a bright yellow background， which was then made into buttons that employees could wear on their jackets as a reminder to smile at each other． The face soon became part of the companys culture and was introduced across the country， and﹣ before Ball realized it﹣to the world． However， as much effort as Ball made， that "message"soon grew to become twisted（歪曲的）． Just think about it： How many of us still use the simple smiley face emoji just to say， "I'm smiling "？ Chances are when we use it， we often mean， "I'm just going to ignore you or"That' s just perfect"﹣ in a sarcastic（讽刺的）way． And our favorite emojis perhaps also include the upside﹣down face or the face with tears of joy ﹣both changed from Ball's former smiley face﹣ and yet， both are often used sarcastically． Indeed， in today's world， we deal with many things with sarcasm instead of with a smile， perhaps because were finding it harder and harder to be happy． but we keep forgetting about the fact that happiness and smiling go both ways． As Vietnamese spiritual teacher Thich Nhat Hanh once said， "Sometimes， your joy is the source of your smile． But sometimes， your smile can be the source of your joy That was probably what was in Balls mind when he first came up with the smiley face： A smile brings joy， and joy brings people closer together． 1.Ball drew the smiley face in order to ． A. show his gift for drawing B. decorate the employees jackets C. cheer up the employees in the company D. spread the company's culture to the world 2.According to Paragraph 2， the smiley face has been ． A. changed gradually B. used in a bitter way C. ignored completely D. recognized as a happier sign 3.What can we learn from the text？ A. Smiling can bring about happiness． B. Smiling is not popular in today's world． C. We should make ourselves happier in a different way． D. We haven't understood the true meaning of the smiley face．

A modern young couple were eating fruit in public and had thrown a plenty of waste on the ground. When an old cleaner comes to clean up, the man was very angry. He pointed at the cleaner, said in a loud voice, “How impolite! They haven’t finished eating!” “How could people behave such badly?” I thought. Obvious, in their eyes, they could do all they liked and ignore others’ feelings. In my opinion, we should pay attention our behavior, obey public rules and respect others’ works. We should know that really civilized people are those who have good manners but a beautiful mind all the time.
