A
Join the discussion…
Lake Lander 2 hours ago Today, a man talked very loud on his phone on a train between Malvern and Reading,
making many passengers upset. I wonder how he would react if I were to read my newspaper out loud on the train, I have never had the courage to do it, though.
Pak50 57 minutes ago Why not give it a try? Perhaps you should take lessons on a musical instrument.
The late
musician Dennis Brian is said to have asked a fellow train passenger to turn off his radio. When his request was refused, he took out his French horn(号) and started to practice.
Angie O’ Edema 42 minutes ago
I don’t see how musical instruments can help improve manners in public. Don’t
do to
others what you wouldn’t like to be done to yourself. Once, a passenger next to me talked
out loud on his mobile phone. I left my seat quietly, giving him some privacy to finish his
conversation. He realized this and apologised to me. When his phone rang again later, he
left his seat to answer it. You see, a bit of respect and cooperation can do the job better.
Taodas 29 minutes ago
I did read my newspaper out loud on a train, and it turned out well. The guy
took it in
good part, and we chatted happily all the way to Edinbergh.

Dear Alfred,
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have
ADIID(注意力缺陷(quēxiàn)多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.
While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2021 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.
Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.
Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not becau se someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.
This is why you’re saving my life.
Yours,
Tanis
25. Why didn’t Tanis go to college after high school？
A. She had learned enough about computer science.
B. She was too slow to learn.
C. She preferred taking online courses.
D. She had more difficulty keeping focused.
26. As for the working environment, Tanis prefers____.
A. dealing with the public
B. working by herself
C. competing against others
D. staying with ADHD students
27. Tanis wrote this letter in order to_____.
A. show how grateful she was to the center
B. describe the courses she had taken so far
C. explain why she was interested in the computer
D. share the ideas she had for her profession
C
Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored (监控(jiān kònɡ)) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking
people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“ The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,〞says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.〞
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication---e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations---found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极(xiāojí)的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website.He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed〞 list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused (激发(jīfā)) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the
more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, ＂Contagious: Why Things Catch On.＂
28. What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?
A. Private e-mails
B. News reports
C. Research papers
D. Daily conversations
29. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?
A. They’re socially inactive.
B. They’re good at telling stories.
C. They’re careful with their words.
D. They’re inconsiderate of others.
30. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?
A. Financial reviews
B. Personal accounts
C. Science articles
D. Sports news
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks.
B. Online News Attracts More People.
C. Reading Habits Change with the Times
D. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide.
D
Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.
We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫(píbèi)) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.
Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.
Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (按字母(zìmǔ)顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.
Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can---then let the unconscious take over.
When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (?大英百科全书?), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.
One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was
with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.
An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.
Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.
32. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to _________.
A. delay tasks
B. work hard
C. seek help
D. accept failure
33. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?
A. Writing essays in strict order.
B. Dealing with the hardest task first.
C. Leaving out the toughest ideas.
D. Building up physical strength.
34. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?
A. Before starting a difficult task.
B. After finding a way out.
C. If the job is rather boring.
D. When all the solutions fail.
35. What does the underlined word “relieved〞 mean in the passage?
A. worried
B. regretful
C. comforted
D. desperate

Boosting Your Brain Power
Who hasn’t wished that they were just a little smarter? Maybe you’re in school and just want to get a better grade on a test. __36__Here are some ways you can go about boosting your brain power.
Sleep is one of the easiest things to do, yet one of the ones that most of us don’t do. We live in a busy age and it often seems that we don’t have enough time to get everything done. So many of us sacrifice our hours of sleep to accomplish our daily tasks. _37__
Read a book. Being smarter is not only about thinking but knowledge plays a big part in it, too. Reading helps your brain stay active. ___38___ Think of it as exercise for the brain.
Try turning off that television set and going for a walk. A walk will stimulate your body and relax your mind. Just as watching too much TV can hurt your body, it also causes your brain to slow down as well.
__39__ There is a big difference between knowing something and being able to teach it to someone else. There is nothing like trying to break something down into simpler terms for others to help you understand it better than you did before.
Work on a puzzle. It can be anything from the newspaper crossword or the new Sudoku puzzle. Puzzles help you use your brain to figure out the answers. ___40___ Your brain needs exercise just like your body does to be able to function in top form.
So go out there and boost your brainpower, your mind will thank you.
A. Learn something new and then teach someone else how to do it.
B. Maybe you want to show your boss that you are good enough to get a promotion.
C. Skipping meals can make it harder for you to think and perform at your best.
D. By writing about things you know, it helps you to understand them better.
E. Crossword puzzles also have the added benefit of increasing your vocabulary
and knowledge.
F. The more you read, the more you know, and the smarter you will be.
G. Giving your body the rest it needs every night can boost your ability to
function at your best the next day.
