I used to teach in public schools. After several years of teaching, what impressed me was that IQ was not the
only 16 between my best and my worst students. Some
of my 17 performers didn’t have very high IQ scores. Some of my smartest kids weren’t doing so well. If doing well in school and in life depends on much more than IQ, then what is it?
I 18 the classroom and became a psychologist. I started studying kids and adults in all kinds
of 19 settings.
We went to West Point Military Academy (西点军校). We tried
to 20 which students would stay in military training and which would drop out. We went to the National Spelling Bee (全国
拼字大赛) and tried to predict which children would advance farthest
in 21 . We studied new teachers working in really
tough neighborhoods, asking which teachers were still going to be there at the end of the school year.
In all those very different situations, one characteristic

like it’s a 25 not a 100-meter race.
Grit also matters in school, 26 for kids at risk
of dropping out. I asked thousands of high school juniors to take
grit questionnaires, and then 27 around more than a year to see who would graduate. It 28 that grittier kids were more likely to graduate.
However, we still know 29 about building grit. Perhaps that’s the work that 30 before us. We need to take our best ideas and test them. We need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier.

More than Just Nice Costumes
I’m sure most of you have heard of cosplayers. These people dress as characters from movies, TV shows, films and comic books. However, there is a lot more to a good cosplayer than what people see!
Some cosplayers buy their costumes, while others make them at home. Making a costume takes a lot of time and skill. You have to be a propmaker (道具制作师) and artist… and this is only the basics.
It may not be obvious, but computers are important for cosplay. Many cosplayers write code (代码) for their costumes to light up, make sounds or operate electronically. Cosplayers with light-up costumes are also computer programmers! When I was making a pair of wings, the structure of the wing frame defied (违抗) the laws of gravity (重力) and demanded scientific numbers from mathematics equations (公式). I pulled out a physics textbook and started my wings. When I finished, I handed in my cosplay at school as a research project and actually got academic credits (学分) for it! Sometimes, a cosplayer is also a researcher, physicist and engineer!
Even for cosplayers that don’t make their costumes, a lot of skills go into a good cosplay. Every cosplayer is a make-up artist and a hairstylist. Have you ever styled a wig? It’s a hug fuss! Anyone
that can make a wig deserves a round of applause (鼓掌).
31. According to the material, we can know that ________.
A．the article is from School Life section
B．the photo was provided by TEENS
C．TEENS reported the news on May10th, 2022

costumes.

Have you ever bought Genki Forest (元气森林) sparkling water because it’s advertised as “sugar-free”? It’s popular among students. The company recently apologized for a misleading advertisement.
The company said the drinks are “sucrose-free”(零蔗糖), but
this is not the same as “sugar-free”. Now the company has changed the words “sugar-free” to “low sugar” on the bottles.
In fact, there are many kinds of sugar. Sucrose is just one of them. Other kinds of sugar, such as fructose (果糖) and sugar alcohol (糖醇), are still in Genki Forest drinks. These types of sugar are used as sweeteners (甜味剂). They offer little energy, but a small amount of them can make drinks taste sweet. That’s why diet drinks like Genki Forest are popular among people who want to lose weight.
However, studies find that the sweeteners might make people eat more. When you eat sweet-tasting things, it sends your brain a “sweet signal”. Then your brain tells your body to prepare itself to take in energy. But since the diet soft drink has little energy, you will feel hungry and start getting energy by eating more food. According to China Daily, drinking too many diet drinks might lead to obesity (肥胖) and type 2 diabetes (糖尿病). Would you like to try diet drinks now?
36. Why did Genki Forest apologize?
A．For not having sugar in its drinks. B．For misspelling words on its packaging.
C．For advertising its products D．For making too many
incorrectly. advertisements.
37. What can we infer about Genki Forest from Paragraph 3?
A ．There are sweeteners in its drinks.
B ．Its drinks have high levels of sucrose.
C ．Its drinks taste sweeter than other drinks.
D ．People can lose weight with its drinks.
38. What do studies show about sweeteners?
A ．They cause the brain to stop receiving signals.
B ．They provide enough energy for people.
C ．They stop the body from getting energy.
D ．They probably make people feel hungrier.
39. According to the passage, drinking diet drinks can be __________.
A ．fun
B ．harmful
C ．refreshing
D ．fashionable
40. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?
A ．Sweeteners can make drinks sweeter.
B ．Genki Forest is popular with people.
C ．Diet drinks can help people lose weight.
D ．Think twice about the diet drink trend.
Jacob was a driver sent to pick me up for a three-hour drive. I needed to go to inland Mexico, where I would be working.
As we were driving, he started to tell me his story. He shared that since the pandemic he had to change jobs. He was currently spending six days a week in a town with more work, away from his family.
He said the name of his hometown, “Nah Bok”. On his only day off, he rode three different buses for a total of five hours there and back so he could have time with his family.
My father worked away when I was young. Sometimes for weeks or months at a time, I remember us kids back then, waiting our turns to have just a couple of minutes on the phone with him.
After two hours into our drive, when I saw a sign saying Nah Bok, I asked him if that was where his family lived. He said, “Yes, it is about 5 kilometers down the road.”
I said, “Why don’t we stop and say hello?” He looked at me like I was crazy or joking. I repeated it seriously. He obviously didn’t want to get in any trouble. He was hesitant (犹豫的). He
asked if I was sure. I absolutely was. What was 30 minutes out of my day when this man had to spend five hours getting home each time?
As we pulled over (靠边停车), his wife was chatting on the side of the road with her mother. They were excited to see him. All of their children came out and I got to hear a little bit about each of their lives.
