I wanted to be a journalist. But my parents reminded me that math makes money，so off to engineering school I went. In my post-university young-adult life，I've managed to become traditionally successful. As a female engineer，I worked for a big oil company and owned a home. My life was laid out in front of me and I didn't like what I saw. So，I did what any respectable 24-year-old would do and left my life behind. I said goodbye to my boyfriend and pulled out my suitcase. I threw myself alone into the world with the grace and beauty of a baby deer taking its first steps with skateboards under its feet. I bloodied my knees mountain biking through the red rocks of Utah. I spent four days struggling through Yellowstone with 50 pounds on my back. Two Peruvian women along my Andean journey taught me how to roast coffee and helped me practice Spanish. It wasn't Vienna's cultural museums；it was a sunny piece of grass beside the Danube river with someone from my hostel（青年旅社）who quickly became a friend. It wasn't Yellowstone's Old Faithful geyser（间歇喷泉）launching into the air；it was charging through Montana's ordinary landscape playing music so loud that the car windows shook. The truth is, I didn't actually need to be abroad to have almost any of my favorite experiences. They were just small everyday moments that happened to happen abroad, leading me to realize that the true value of my flight tickets were not the landmarks, but rather becoming an active participant in my own life. I now spend less time online shopping and more time lying alone on the floor listening to an album cover-to-cover. I ask my friends how they're doing. Sometimes I surprise them with flowers to see them smile. I tell everyone to have a good day. 【1】What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 1? A.She found her work challenging. B.She was dissatisfied with her life. C.She preferred math to journalism. D.She dared not talk back to her parents. 【2】Why does the author mention the journeys she has taken in the text? A.To prove the importance of travel. B.To express her joy with new friends. C.To show what she learned from the travelling D.To introduce the landmarks she was interested in. 【3】How has the travel changed the author? A.She has become more independent. B.She begins to enjoy her daily life more. C.She begins to value her family's opinion. D.She has become more interested in foreign cultures. 【4】What message does the author try to convey in the text? A.We should participate actively in our own life. B.Travel is the best way to spend your holidays. C.We shouldn't pay attention to what others say. D.Interest is the best teacher in choosing jobs. |

In the Amazon rainforest of Venezuela，Yanomami hunter-gatherers exist on cassava, palm hearts and wild banana. They also hunt frogs and monkeys using techniques that would have been familiar to their ancestors 11,000 years ago. The extraordinary continuity of their culture, and the fact that some of the groups have had little contact with outsiders,led biologists to wonder whether the Yanomami might reveal what the human digestive system looked like before industrialization supplied the world with processed foods and antibiotics. In 2009, researchers had a chance to find out in a previously unknown Yanomami village. Health workers collected fecal (排泄物的) and skin samples from about 30 villagers. When researchers cultured and analyzed microbes in the feces, the scientists discovered whole categories of bacteria that were absent from the guts (肠道) of people from industrialized countries. Even more striking, they found the microbial population in the average Westerner to be about half as diverse as the community inside these hunter-gatherers. The researchers realized that the microbes might have implications beyond basic science. People's microbial communities are believed to play a role in disorders like obesity, diabetes and Alzheimer's, which shorten lives and overburden health care systems. These disorders don't trouble these preindustrial Amerindians, however. So researchers want to learn which microbes protect them and figure out how to reintroduce them in modern societies. It has the potential to affect health more profoundly than the diseevery of the fabled Fountain of Youth. But the opportunity might be more fleeting than youth itself. “The world is becoming urban so fast.” says microbiologist Maria Gloria, co-author of a 2015 study that reveals the Yanomami microbiome. “Our lifestyles are killing microbial diversity.” And although nobody has yet determined exactly what the Yanomami mystery bugs are doing, and how they improve an individual's health，she believes that scientists need to collect and preserve as many microbes as possible in anticipation of future breakthroughs. “We cannot afford to wait,” she says, “or we'll have lost the high diversity of the human microbiome of traditional peoples before we understand how to use the microbiome to improve health. ” 【1】What did the researchers find out about the villagers in 2009? A.The hunter-gathers had a different digestive system. B.Microbial diversity was responsible for many disorders. C.People from industrialized countries had less diverse microbes. D.Some categories of bacteria did not exist in those villagers' guts. 【2】What does the author mean by “the opportunity might be more fleeting than youth itself”? A.The opportunity is even more precious than youth itself. B.The opportunity is of greater significance to modern science. C.Compared with youth，such an opportunity seems more appealing. D.The opportunity disappears so quickly that we can't afford to lose it. 【3】What is Maria Gloria's attitude towards the preservation of many microbes? A.Concerned. B.Optimistic. C.Sceptical. D.Critical. 【4】What can we infer from the passage? A.Processed foods and antibiotics have changed human digestive system. B.More efforts are needed to solve the mystery of Yanomami microbiome. C.Treating diseases by introducing beneficial bacteria has been made possible. D.The discovery of those microbes will help cure many life-threatening diseases. |

In life，once on a path，we tend to follow it，for better or worse. What's sad is that even if it's the later，we often accept it anyway because we are so used to the way things are that we don't even recognize that they could be different. This is what psychologists call functional fixedness. The inability to think in new ways affects people in every comer of society. The political theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase frozen thoughts to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should. In Arendt's eyes，the complacent（自满的）reliance on such accepted “truths”also made people blind to ideas that didn't fit their worldview，even when there was ample evidence for them. Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence，she said. “It can be found in highly intelligent people. Ardent considered critical thinking to be a moral imperative-in its absence，a society could go the way of Nazi Germany. Another context in which frozen thinking can turn truly dangerous is medieine. If you land in the hospital，it's natural to want to be treated by the most experienced physicians. But according to a 2014 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association（JAMA），you'd be better off being treated by the relative novices. The authors of the study explained that most errors made by doctors are connected to a tendency to form opinions quickly，based on experience. In cases that are not routine，the expert doctors may miss important aspects of the problem that are not consistent with their initial analysis. As a result，although junior doctors may be slower and less confident in treating run-of the mill cases，they can be more open-minded with unusual cases. Fortunately，psychologists have found that anyone can unfreeze his or her thinking. One of the most effective ways is to introduce a little discord to one's intellectual interactions. Experiments have shown that it can not only sway（使动摇）us with regard to the issue at hand；it can also thaw frozen thinking in general，even in contexts unrelated to the original discussion. 【1】Which of the following will Ardent agree with? A.Many deeply held ideas are worth questioning. B.Intelligent people tend to be more open-minded. C.Critical thinking can save us from a world of conflict. D.Believing in so-called truths can blind our judgement. 【2】What results in most errors made by doctors? A.Inadequate preparation. B.A lack of proper training. C.Over-reliance on experience. D.Wrong approaches in initial analysis. 【3】What does the underlined part“run-of-the-mill”in paragraph 5 mean? A.rare. B.complicated. C.novel. D.regular. 【4】What is the suitable title for the passage? A.Unfreeze Your Brain B.Follow It Or Break It C.Critical Thinking Matters D.What Shapes Your Thinking |

Have you ever agreed to do something only to find out later that you don't have time? Are you constantly stressed from rushing from one assignment to another? 【1】 Overcommitment happens when you decide to do more things than you realistically have time to do. 【2】 Your quality of life also suffers because overcommitment leaves you less time to take care or yourself. It's preferable to do one or two things well than to do ten things poorly. Time management coach Elizabeth Saunders suggests creating a budget for your time like you do with money. The total amount of time you have each day equals 24 hours minus the time you need for basic activities like sleeping, eating and showering. Saunders suggests adding up your time commitments to other people and the time needed to meet your personal goals. 【3】 One tool that may be helpful in avoiding overcommitment is a calendar. Schedule times for everything you need to do. But don't feel forced to fill every blank space. 【4】 Do your commitments actually match your priorities? Could you give up some of them or pass them off to other people? Furthermore, learning how to say “no” politely but firmly also helps with overcommitment. I have a rule that I never immediately agree to any long-term time commitments. I always ask for some time to think. 【5】 Having time to think about a potential assignment gives me space to say“no”if I need to. A.Take it easy; the following tips are helpful. B.When this happens, the quality of your work suffers. C.It is also worth looking at your current commitments. D.If so, you may have a problem with overcommitment. E.Besides, your health condition is another important factor. F.That's because my first reaction is usually to say yes, even if I don't really have time. G.If that total is greater than the amount of time you have each day, you have a problem. |
