How Will You Measure Your Life? — Christensen, James Allworth and Karen Dillon What do you think would make you happier at work?

A famous doctor once received a little child who was badly ill. Thanks to his skill and care, his young patient got well and was soon able to get up and run about again.
The child’s mother was very much obliged to the doctor, and she called on him to thank him for what he had done for her child. “Doctor,” she said, “you have saved my little son. I don’t know how to thank you enough. I feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it.” The doctor stood up and said coldly, “Madam, a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be paid properly for what he has done.” The lady was so surprised and hurt so much that
she could not reply for a moment. Then she said quietly, “Perhaps you will tell me how much your fee is?”
“Fifty pounds”, he answered.
The lady opened the little purse and took out four fifty-pound bank notes. She handed one of them to the doctor, and put the other three back into the purse. She put the purse into her handbag and, saying good bye to the doctor, went out of the room.

Parents have worked hard to teach the most important life lessons to their babies. They remind kids to eat with a knife and fork, and not to make noises in public. But there’s one important lesson that parents might forget, and it can’t be covered in a simple conversation. In fact, they’d better teach kids by example.
According to a study, babies receive more than genes（基因）from their parents. They can also absorb good qualities, such as persistence, by watching how adults behave. Researchers at MIT said that babies who watched an adult struggling with and then
succeeding in something were more likely to show persistence when given a new task.
The team at MIT studied 262 babies between the ages of 13 and 18 months. They were divided into three groups. In the first group, the lead researcher struggled with two different toys’ problems before solving them, letting the babies watch when she did so. In the second group, the researcher solved the problems but did not struggle with them. And for the third group, she did not do anything.
After that, the researcher left the children playing with a small musical toy. She showed the babies that it could play music but did not teach them how to turn it on. The babies in the first group discovered and pressed the toy’s button many more times than those in the last two groups. In other words, the babies did not copy what they had watched; they learned not to give up, instead.
Now researchers are interested in exploring which ways influence babies most. They wonder if the results can work in the real world, and whether the lesson of persistence might last into adulthood. After all, persistence is one of the most important qualities of the successful people.
28. What does the underlined part “one important lesson” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Behaving politely in public.
B. Setting an example to kids.
C. Using a knife and fork properly.
D. Teaching kids necessary life skills.
29. How did the team at MIT mainly carry out the study?
A. By doing a research.
B. By playing with kids.
C. By analyzing some facts
D. By interviewing babies.
30. What can be learned from the study?
A. Kids in the first group turned on the musical toy.
B. Kids could copy the same behavior of the researcher.
C. The first group kids tried more times to turn on the toy.
D. Kids in the last two groups had the same performance.
31. Which of the following would the author agree with?
A. Parents should spend more time with babies.
B. Parents should pay attention to their behavior.
C. Persistence is an important quality for parents.
D. Babies should be taught social skills from birth.
D
Reducing some climate pollutants could save millions of lives. Gases, like black carbon, or soot, methane and ozone in city smog, are called “short-lived climate pollutants”. Not only do they contribute to climate change, but they can cause ill health.
The UN health group also says the pollutants can decrease agricultural crops. These pollutants exist both outdoors and indoors. WHO Environment Chief Maria Neira says the pollutants have a strong effect on climate change. She says the good news is that they only stay in the atmosphere for a few days to 10 years. That is much shorter than carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, which can remain for hundreds, or even thousands of years. “ For the fact that they are short-lived pollutants, when you address them, you can reduce emissions(排放物) very rapidly, and then improve air quality as well as slowing the rate of climate change. You will have an immediate reduction in ill health and diseases caused by air pollution, “she says.
The WHO has a number of available and affordable ways to lessen these short-lived climate pollutants. At the top of their list: cutting vehicle emissions by requiring higher emission and efficiency standards. More emissions are released when engines are running.
Indoor air pollution also contributes to bad health and early death. The WHO reports that nearly 3 billion low-income households rely on “dirty fuels”. Coal, wood and kerosene used for cooking and heating are examples. They say cleaner and more efficient stove and fuel alternatives( 可供选择的事物) could cut down on the health risks.
Another way they say to cut back on these pollutants is to have more investments (投资)and policies for rapid transport. These include buses, trains, bicycles or walking routes. They say these investments could have many benefits, including safer travel, reduced health risks from noise and air pollution and more physical activities.
The WHO report also calls for encouraging high and middle-income populations to
include more plant-based foods in their diets. It says this could reduce heart disease and some cancer. It could also slow the methane gas production that comes with some animal-sourced food.
32. Why are some climate pollutants called the “short- lived climate pollutants”?
A. They may cause deadly illness.
B. They will shorten the life of people.
C. T hey won’t remain in the air for long.
D. They can change climate in a short time.
33. What do Maria Neira’s words mean about dealing with pollutants?
A. It will have a positive effect at once.
B. It will take about hundreds of years.
C. It will improve the quality of life.
D. It will keep air quality good for a few days.
34. Which is strongly recommended by the WHO to reduce short-lived climate pollutants?
A.Reducing the use of coal.
B. Lessening climate change.
C. Controlling vehicle emissions
D. Lowering the methane gas production
35. What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Reduce Pollutants from the Air Directly.
B. Cut Short-lived Pollutants to Save Lives.
C. Quit Dirty Fuels for Cleaner Air.
D. Get Rid of Climate Pollutants.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

36 You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how: Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First plan your time for eating, sleeping, dressing and so on .Then decide a good, regular time for studying.
37 A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials, No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class. 38 Listening carefully in class means less work after class. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss next day, and read that material.
39 If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of tests is to show what you have learnt about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overworried.
40 You will probably discover them after you have tried these.
A. There are other methods that might help you with your study.
B. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entert ainment.
C. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.
D. No one can became top student unless he or she works hard.
E. Maybe you are an average student.
E. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.
G. This will help you understand the next class.
