Many people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a lifechanging adventure overseas.They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down.However，life overseas is not always easy，and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.The honeymoon periodAt first，for those who actually decide to move abroad，life is an exciting adventure.They enjoy exploring their new surroundings，and life seems like an ex tended holiday.They don’t mind trying the local cui sine and discovering the local culture.They can even afford to practise their foreignlanguage skills without fear of making mistakes.Trouble in paradiseIn many cases，when people consider moving to another country，they often fail to realize how different life will be.As time goes by，they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache.In this stage，the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favour of mixing with others from their own cultural background.The road to recoveryGradually，most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them.This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home，such as opening a bank account.This newfound confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem.The secret to overcome it is to stop trying to change your host country. If not，you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

Pygmalion李仕才一、阅读理解A business school in Paris will soon begin using artificial intelligence and facial analysis to determine whether students are paying attention in class. The software, called Nestor, is used in two online classes at the ESG business school beginning in September.The idea, according to LCA founder Marcel Saucet, is to use the data that Nestorcollects to improve the performance of both students and professors. The software uses students webcams （网络摄像机）to analyze eye movements and facial expressions and determine whether students are paying attention to a video lecture. It then formulates quizzes based on the content covered during moments of inattentiveness. Professors would also be able to identify moments when students ' attention declin ed, which could help to improve their teaching, Saucet says.Advocates for AI in education say that the software is actually unable to teacha course, but the technology could be used as a digital tutor that would adapt to astudent 's individual needs, and help develop more effective studying habits. Suchsoftware could also help teachers by providing feedback on the effectiveness of their teaching, advocates say.Saucet says Nestor won 't store any of the video footage it gets and that hiscompany has no plans to sell any other data the software collects. In addition to facial recognition and analysis, the software can integrate （合并）with students ' calendars to suggest possible study times, and track their online behavior to pick up on patterns.Rose Luckin, a professor at the University College London Knowledge Lab, says AI could unlock the “black box of learning ” by providing information on how and whenlearning happens. Luckin says a program like Nestor could be useful for students whotake classes remotely, since “there isn 't a human there watching them. ” And while some are concerned that AI may one day replace teachers, Luckin sees the technology more as an assistant, rather than a replacement. Saucet agrees.“Human contact isnot going to go away,he says. “There will always be professors.1. How does Nestor work to find out when students aren ' t paying attention?A. By collecti ng the data of stude nts ' performa nee in differe nt classes.B. By collecting the students ' grades in the quizzes.C. By shooting an d analyzing students ' eye movements and facial expressions..D. By ide ntify ing mome nts whe n stude nts ' atte nti on decli ned.2. Which is the benefit of Al education?A.

选修8 Unit 4 Pygmalion李仕才一、阅读理解AAccording to a team of researchers, an animal's ability to perceive(感知) time is linked to their pace of life.“Our results lend support to the importance of time perception in animals where the ability to perceive time in a very short time may be the difference between life and death for fast moving creatures，” commented the lead author Kevin Healy from Trinity College Dublin.The study was done with a variety of animals using a phenomenon based on the maximum speed of flashes of light an individual can see before the light source is seen as constant. Dogs, for example, have eyes with a refresh rate higher than humans.One example of this phenomenon at work, the authors say, is the housefly and its ability to avoid being hit. The research shows flies observe motion in a shorter time than our own eyes can achieve, which allows them to avoid being hit.Professor Graeme Ruxton of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, who worked jointly on the research project, said in a st atement, “Having eyes that send updates to the brain at much higher frequencies than our eyes do is of no value if the brain cannot process that information equally quickly, Thus, this work highlights the impressive abilities of even the smallest animal brains. Flies might not be deep thinkers, but they can make good decisions very quickly.”In comparison, the tiger beetle (虎甲虫) runs faster than its eyes can keep up, basically becoming blind, which requires it to stop periodically to reevaluate its prey's(猎物) position.Our results suggest that time perception offers an as yet unstudied dimension in which animals can specialize and there is a considerable range to study this system in more detail.【文章大意】本文是一篇科普说明文。

Recently, whi lc working with my excellent student,I wrote him a note regarding an assignment he needed to work on.“Here, ” I said, “keep this with you so you don' t forget. ”He took the piece of paper and stared at it for a moment before commenting, "I can' t read this. ”I wasn" t sure what he meant, so I examined the note・ It was my best cursive（草书）.It' s true,then.The news about schools no Ionger teaching handwriting< But I believe it is necessary for students to learn cursive-First, there continues to be a need to sign "hard copies” of documents. There is a sense of ceremony and a seriousness of purpose about the act of signing something. It calls to mind the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Just lookat those signatures!John Hancock" s was so robust （遒劲的）and original that, more than 200 years later, it sti 11 serves as the logo （标识）of a namesake （同名者）insurance company・And why not?It is a work of art.Second,a great part of the history of the United States is recorded in handwritten documents, including personal letters. If one has not been taught to write in cursive, it is unlikely that one will be able to read it.Third,and perhaps most important, when one is trying to 1 earn something, somewhere in the process there must be a slow step. Writing in Ionghand is a mea ns of slow ing dow n eno ugh to be able to think deeply about what one is penning.In times of budgetary trial, schools often jcttison music and art instruction but keep dangerous football. If cursive joins those victims from the curriculum, then it wi 11 be the loss of yet one more outlet （发泄途径）through which students are able to say, "This is my mark .This is me. ”I still remember in fifth grade, I once handed my finished work to Mrs・Shaw, my handwriting teacher. She looked at it,caught her breath, and said, "Oh, my. 1 think you" re going to be a writer someday. ”Thank you, Mrs. Shaw, for seeing so much in my handwri ting.

To the author, Mrs. Shaw" s words were _________ .A.quite interestingB・really confusingC・very encouragingD.pretty disappointingBIt may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don，t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened・Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn" t really matter. Tf you have ever 1 istened to Martin Luther King" s famous speech —,r T Have a Dream H , you may notice that he stumbles （结巴）over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don，t remember. Why? Because you wore fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making・People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performa.nee rather than as an act of communication. They feel the 1 istenets are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the 1isteners are not looking for a perfect performanee. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker" s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker" s attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, don, t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this,you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.L The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one willA.be smarter than youB.know what you are talking aboutC.do better than youD・ notice your mistakes2.You don' t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because __________________ •A.you find the way of speech-making more importantB.you don' t fully understand the speechC.you don， t know what the speaker plans to sayD.your attention is on the content3.From the last two paragraphs, the author means that _________________ .A. giving a speech is 1 ike giving a performaneeB・ the listeners should pay more attent ion to how a speech is madeC.one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad。

Before that I was average at school but after that, because Melissa Crawford was smart, and I got all the right answers, I got put in all the smart kids groups.From then I did really well at school because it was believed by theteachers that I would and I also got grouped with the smart kids. Thisexperience that occurred at my primary school shows just how important thePygmalion effect is in terms of being around mentors (导师) that expect thatyou' re going to do well and also being around people who are smart.The Pygmalion effect is one principle you want to use if you want to make money fast. Have mentors that expect you will make money fast and as an extra boost hang around, copy and learn from other people who are also making money fast.Yesterday this sit e had over 5,000 unique visitors and the traffic to it is increasing all the time. A year ago I contacted a group of people who got lots of traffic on their sites and I learnt from them. Truthfully I don't know if they expected me to start getting decent traffic to websites but I imagined they did so they might as well have.So there you have it the Pygmalion effect.P．S. My grammar and spelling are not that great nowadays but that's actually completely irrelevant (不相关的) when it comes to getting lots of visitors to your site.语篇解读：文章通过自己的经历告诉我们皮革马利翁的神奇力量。

选修8 Unit 4 Pygmalion李仕才一、阅读理解AThe Swedish Academy that awards the Nobel Prize has apparently still been unable to contact Bob Dylan about his acceptance of the honour. On Thursday, Dylan gave a concert in Las Vegas and didn't mention the fact that he had just won the world's most honoured literary award. He didn't acknowledge it on Friday when he performed in Coachella, either. In a recent interview with The Telegraph, he said that he'd “absolutely” attend the ceremony “if it's at all possible”， and he finally called the Academy to accept the prize though later he wrote a personal letter to the Academy, which said he would not receive the award in person at the December ceremony in Stockholm. But what would happen if Dylan had continued to screen the Academy's calls?JeanPaul Sartre is the only known winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature to have declined the award voluntarily; he had written a letter to the committee in 1964 asking not to be considered at all, but these were the days before email, and the letter arrived when they had already decided to give it to him that year. Sartre believed every individual is responsible for creating a purpose for their life. By accepting the prize, Sartre would have to associate himself with the institution that honoured him. “It is not the same thing if I sign JeanPaul Sartre or if I sign JeanPaul Sartre, Nobel Prize winner，” he complained. “A writer must refuse to allow himself to be transformed into an institution(名流), even if it takes place in the most ho nourable form.”Other writers have declined it because they feared persecution(迫害). The Soviet writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn did not travel to Stockholm for his ceremony in 1970, because he was concerned that the Soviet Union would not allow him to return afterwards. The committee refused Solzhenitsyn's request for a public ceremony at the Swedish Embassy in Moscow, so he initially turned down the prize, but formally accepted it in 1974 after he was exiled (放逐)．But while it is possible to refuse to accept the prize money, it isn't possible to refuse the title. According to the statutes of the Nobel Foundation, Nobel Prizescannot ever be returned.【文章大意】本文讲述的是2016诺贝尔文学奖的获得者Bob Dylan最初忽视自己获得诺贝尔奖的事实，并列举了其他拒绝诺贝尔奖的作家。

Vitamin B could help reduce the effects of the most dangerous type of air pollution, according to a new study published on Monday. In the first study of its kind, a team of international researchers looked into the damage caused by one of the pollutants that have the severest impact on health—PM 2. 5.They found that Vitamin B supplement could effectively reduce the impact of the tiny particles(颗粒)on the human body, although they stressed that the research was in its early stages. According to the WHO, 92% of the world’s people are living in places where the PM 2. 5 level goes beyond the recommended level. So it’s urgent to find a solution to the problem.According to this study, published in the PNAS, 10 volunteers were initially exposed to clean air and given a placebo(安慰剂)to check their baseline responses. The group then kept on taking placebos for four weeks before being exposed to heavily polluted air from downtown Toronto, where an estimated 1, 000 cars passed every hour. The bad air was delivered to the volunteers through an “oxygen type” face mask. The experiment was then repeated, with each volunteer taking a Vitamin B supplement daily, made up of 2. 5 mg of folic acid, 50 mg of Vitamin B6, and 1 mg of Vitamin B12.Vitamin B6 can be found in liver, chicken, nuts and other things, and Vitamin B12 in fish, meat, eggs, milk and some cereals. The researchers found that four weeks of Vitamin B supplements reduced the damage of PM 2. 5 effects by 28-76%. The results emphasized how prevention at an individual level could be used to fight against the damage of PM 2. 5, the researchers said.【文章大意】本文主要通过一些实验告诉我们维生素B对减轻PM 2. 5对身体的伤害有什么样的功效。

Bees play a vital role in the world. Unfortunately, bees are dying by the second.The main purpose of bees is to make honey. Honey, shockingly, does not exist for human consumption; it is essential to the insects. Honeybees store honey in their hives(蜂箱) in order for the bees to have energy for their flight muscles and for heating the hives during the winter period. They collect pollen(花粉) which supplies protein for young bees to grow.According to National Honey Board, the increased production andquality of agricultural crops as a result of honeybee pollination are valued at more than $14.6 billion per year. These insects are responsible for over 70 of the fruits and vegetables we eat today, including apples, grapes, coffee, beans, and broccoli.So if they are so valuable to agriculture, why do they keep dying off? A key suspect seems to be pesticides(农药). Honeybees who are exposed to pesticides result in the damage to their neurological(神经系统的) functions, specifically memory or behavior. And that’s why the majority of worker bees disappear and leave behind a queen, plenty of food and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen. There are several other causes of the decline of bees, including the destruction of natural habitats, like woodlands, forests, and other habitats for bees. Climate change is also a factor in the decline of the wild bee population.Actually, there are a variety of methods to help the bee population grow. One way is to start your own organic garden by planting beefriendly plants. Pesticides are used in both industrial practices and even in your home, so it is best to find organic seeds and weed killers.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

Before I studied psychology，I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred.While I was right about that，I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke.When someone laughs at a joke，there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are，the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a standup comedy show in Egypt，and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets，everyone laughed their heads off.The main reason why those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly.The joke wasn’t only funny，but it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel，and the more it includes other psychological factors，the more the person will like it.For example，if you envy one of your friends，and someone tells a joke that is funny and，at the same time，makes your friend seem stupid，then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.In short，we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke.I strongly discourage you from making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh.All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions，he will certainly like it a lot.【解题导语】本文主要分析了人们笑的原因。

Pygmalion EffectA team can do as well as you and the team think they can.This idea is known as“the self－fulfilling prophecy”．When you believe the team can perform well，in some strange and magical way they can.And similarly, when you believe they can't perform well, they can't.The self－fulfilling prophecy is also known as the Pygmalion Effect.This comes from a story by Ovid about Pygmalion, who created an ivory statue of his ideal woman.And he immediately fell in love with it.He begged the goddess to breathe life into the statue and make her his own.She granted Pygmalion his wish, the statue came to life and the couple married and lived happily ever after.The story was also the basis of George Bernard Shaw's play“Pygmalion”．In Shaw's play, Professor Henry Higgins claims he can turn a Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a duchess.But, as Eliza herself points out to Higgins' friend Pickering，it isn't what she learns or does that determines whether she will become a duchess，but how she's treated.“You see，really and truly, apart from the things anyone can pick up, the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves but how she's treated.I shall always be a flower girl to Professor Higgins, because he always treats me as a flower girl, and always will, but I know I can be a lady to you because you always treat me as a lady，and always will.”The implication of the Pygmalion Effect for leaders and managers is massive.It means that the performance of your team depends less on them than it does on you.The performance you get from people is no more or less than what you expect: which means you must always expect the best.As Goethe said，“Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is.Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.”[词海拾贝]1．prophecy n．预言2．implication n．运用3．massive adj.巨大的[问题思考]判断正(T)误(F)。

Unit 4 Pygmalion李仕才一、阅读理解。
When I was a boy there were no smart phones，and our television only got one channel clearly.Still，I was never bored.The fields，hills，and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground.I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake.At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before.It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides，but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for hours.I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear“Turn around and head back home”，but I was stubborn，so I walked on.There was still neither a car nor a house in sight.I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared.I didn't want to end up trapped on this road，and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me.My heart was pounding and my legs were aching.I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance.It was a house that I recognized.I jumped up and down and laughed out loud.It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time.I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.I remembered this re cently when I saw a sign that said “All roads lead home”．It is true.In life，all roads，no matter how they twist and turn，can lead us home again.What is important，though，is how we travel them.Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith？Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey？The choice is ours.1．Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?A．Because he could have fun in nature.B．Because he could watch TV all day.C．Because he had many friends.D．Because he used to explore the old dirt road.2．How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road?A．He thought he would be scolded by his parents.B．He felt contradictory in mind.C．He thought he would be trapped in the woods.D．He was unconscious.3．What does “something” probably mean in Paragraph 3?A．Doubt. B．Hope.C．Courage. D．Fear.4．What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A．Always make choices on our own.B．All roads lead home.C．It's our attitude that matters in our life.D．Every effort is worthwhile.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。
作者回忆了自己童年时期的快乐的时光，并通过童年时经历的一件事告诉我们，人生中最重要的是对待生活的态度。
【难句分析】What is important，though，is how we travel them.Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith？Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey?分析：第一句包含what引导的主语从句，how引导的表语从句；后两句为表示选择关系的一般疑问句。
译文：然而(生命中)重要的是我们如何走过这些路。
我们要怀着恐惧前行还是要怀着信心前行？我们想让自己的人生成为一次糟糕的旅行还是一段快乐的旅程呢？1．A 考查细节理解。
根据第一段中的“The fields, hills, and wood lands around my home were the perfect playground.I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake”可知，在童年时期，作者可以到大自然中尽情地玩耍，所以不会觉得无聊。
2．B 考查推理判断。
根据第二段中的“I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear‘Turn around and head back home'，but I was stubborn，so I walked on”可知，在探险之初，作者虽想放弃，但还是选择了继续走下去；根据下文可知，作者虽然担心害怕，但仍然继续前行。
由此可推知，在探险过程中他的内心是矛盾的。
3．D 考查词义猜测。
根据文章第二段中的“I grew scared”及第三段中的“My heart was pounding and my legs were aching”可推知，由于天越来越黑，作者一直未能找到回家的路，他的内心越来越恐惧。
由此可推知，something在此指“恐惧”。
故选D。
4．C 考查主旨大意。
根据最后一段中的“W hat is important, though, is how we travel them.Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith? Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey”可知，作者想要告诉我们的是生活中态度才是重要的。
根据最后一段的叙述可知，作者将表达的重心放在了“如何走人生之路”，其中fear, faith，terrible，joyful体现的均是心境和态度，无关“谁来做选择”，或者“所有的路都能回家”，所以排除A和B。
