When Emanuel received an email from Professor Richard English. Queen’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor at the School of History, Anthropology,Philosophy and Politics, encouraging him to apply for a PhD in Politics in Belfast, it was a pinch-me moment Emanual never thought would be possible. After all, just a few short years ago, he was living on the streets couch-surfing at friends’ houses and weeding gardens to make ends meet. Now, one of the world’s leading political academics was preparing to welcome him to Queen’s University over 4,000 miles away. Emanuel never knew who his father was and his mom was mentally ill when she gave birth to him, so the hospital took him off her and he was unofficially adopted for the first few years of his life. What followed was a childhood with uncertainty as Emanuel was passed between the adoption system and family members. Through his high school and community college years, he moved from house to house, living with friends at times and living on the streets at others. Determined to change all that despite his rocky start in life, Emanuel involved himself in school-doing everything he could to earn extra tuition (学费) money in his spare time. But getting accepted into university was scarcely possible because a person like him couldn’t get a regular student loan. Fortunately, the government backed him, having created a policy allowing disadvantaged persons to access funding for higher education. He graduated from the University of the West Indies with a 1st Class Honors degree and went on to do his Masters. Emanuel knows that his story could have been very different. “I discovered Professor Richard English online and sent him an email honestly, not thinking he would reply and to my surprise, he did. I applied for the highly competitive Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme in order to fund my research at Queen’s. When I was told I was successful, my whole world changed.” 【1】What does the underlined word “pinch-me” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A.Expected. B.Unbelievable. C.Awkward. D.Anxious. 【2】What happened to Emanuel in his childhood? A.His father was mentally ill. B.He was abandoned by his mother. C.He was once adopted by his relatives. D.He lived with his friends now and then. 【3】How did Emanuel afford his university education? A.By receiving a regular student loan. B.By earning the tuition all by himself. C.By borrowing the money from friends. D.By getting support from the government. 【4】What can we learn from Emanuel’s story? A.Well begun is half done. B.It’s never too old to learn. C.You are the master of your life. D.Lost time is never found again. |

Parents around the world often urge children over and over-wash your hands! It can be difficult, however, to get children to remember to wash. But what if washing hands was connected to a fun creative activity? What if instead of simply reaching for the soap, a machine could drop it right into your hands? Well, such a machine was recently built by a boy and his sister in the U.S. state of Maryland as part of a creative competition.The not-for-profit Rube Goldberg Organization is holding the competition. Every year, the Rube Goldberg competition assigns a specific task, considering inventions that use complex systems to carry out a simple everyday task. At first, the task for 2020 was supposed to be “turn on a light.” But when the COVID-19 happened, the task was changed to “drop a bar of soap into someone’s hand.” Those taking part in the competition are schoolchildren. But with schools closed to slow the spread of the virus, organizers changed the rules. This year, the team can include any family members and people were asked to send in recordings of the machines to compete. One thing has not changed: The machine must complete the task in less than 10 steps. In Maryland, the Diel family wanted to enter. So, Caitlin and her brother Ben designed and built their own Rube Goldberg machine. Next, they had to demonstrate that it could complete the task-throwing the soap just right to be caught in someone’s hand. After 106 failed attempts, they finally had success. With their video demonstration, they can now enter the competition. Dr. Anne Glowinski teaches child psychiatry (精神病学) at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. She said that “creativity and play” connects with children. It is better than the message. “We have to wash our hands because of this horrible virus”. Glowinski added. 【1】What might be a task of inventions assigned by the Rube Goldberg competition? A.Sweeping the floor. B.Exploring nature. C.Writing a novel. D.Painting the house. 【2】What change has been made to the rules of the competition this year? A.All kinds of inventions are admitted. B.A video of the entry is qualified to enter. C.Teachers are encouraged to get involved. D.The task must be finished within 10 steps. 【3】What does Glowinski think of the invention? A.Practical. B.Unnecessary. C.Economical. D.Complicated. 【4】What’s the purpose of the text? A.To advocate the habit of washing hands. B.To call on schoolchildren to compete in a contest. C.To encourage more inventions from everyday items. D.To introduce a contest making handwashing fun for kids. |

Let’s face it.You’re likely reading this article in an effort to avoid some other tasks you’re procrastinating (拖延) to learn how to stop procrastination, but the clock is ticking. So why can’t you seem to get rid of that? Though the psychological causes are still debated, there’s a human tendency to over or underestimate the value of a reward based on its temporal proximity (时间接近). This is often referred to as temporal discounting. For example, if I offered you$100 today or 110 in a month, most would take the hundred and run. But what if instead I offered you 100 dollars in a year or 110 in a year and one month, you might say to yourself if I can wait a year I can wait the extra month. But the time and value difference are the exact same in each example. It turns out that human motivation is highly influenced by how near the reward is meaning the further away the reward is the more you discount its value. So being online is more appealing than preparing for your test. The problem is surfing the Internet provides many small quick and continuous rewards unlike your test scores which are a future one. So how do you overcome the urge to put off so many tasks? Unfortunately there is no definite answer, but try rewarding yourself with a timely snack or other enjoyable activities. The Pomodoro Technique makes use of a timer to work for 25 minutes straight and when you’ve done this give yourself the reward with a 5-minute break. Then start the working clock again, Gradually increasing the amount of work time you put in will improve your time management skills. It’s been shown that creating a costly deadline is also an effective way to manage your working habits. And try to enjoy the process of achieving something instead of thinking only our minutes of suffering. 【1】What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A.This article. B.Procrastination. C.An effort. D.The clock. 【2】An example is given in Paragraph 2 to make the theory A.interesting B.accurate C.understandable D.influential 【3】Why is surfing online more attractive to students than studying? A.It helps them kill time faster. B.It offers them more information. C.It supplies instant rewards to them. D.It strengthens the bond between friends. 【4】What’s a suggested solution to procrastination? A.Rewarding yourself with a future gift. B.Increasing the amount of work time. C.Ignoring the process of doing the task. D.Paying dearly for your procrastination. |

SMART Goal Setting SMART goal setting is one of the most valuable methods used by high achievers today to actualize(实现）their life goals time after time. SMART is an acronym (首字母缩略词) that stands for-Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-bound. 【1】 Every goal ought to be specific. Being clear about your goals and expectations is the first step to reaching them. 【2】 For example, “I will start planning toward retirement” is vague. Instead, you could say. “I will start planning toward retirement by building up a nest egg.” This is more specific. When you are specific on your goal, it’s easier for you to identify all its components and work accordingly toward achieving it. 【3】 If you can’t measure something, you can’t tell if you’re performing well or if you’re off track. Setting measurable goals lets you evaluate your performance and stay on track. Goals should be achievable and realistic. 【4】 It’s also important not to get too carried away and use far-fetched or unreachable goals as motivators, constantly chasing an impossibly high goal. Allow yourself to feel motivated by the satisfaction of achievement and real progress. Each goal has to be time-bound. 【5】 Actually, it’s incredibly important to make your goals time-bound. The act of having deadlines set to your goals is a motivation that drives you into action. Without a deadline, it is not possible for you to know if you’re making headway with your goals. A.Your goals must be measurable. B.That is because your goals are not specific enough. C.It is the final letter of SMART that is often ignored. D.When goals are too wide or vague, they are easy to miss. E.To make your SMART goals work, use the following tips. F.You may wonder if this is achievable in the given time frame. G.It’s important to plan out goals that are within realistic capabilities. |

All of a sudden, the ship met with an accident and the couple had no choice but to run to the life boat without delay. After reaching there, they realized that there was space only for one person. At that very moment, the husband pushed his wife behind him and jumped onto the lifeboat himself, leaving his wife standing on the sinking ship, shouting something desperately to her husband eyes filled with tears.” The teacher stopped her story-telling and asked her students, “Guys, guess what it was that she shouted.” Most students answered. “I hate you!” After listening to all this reply, the teacher glanced through the whole class again and noticed that there was a boy sitting silently throughout. Then she asked him the same question. The boy answered, “I believe she would have shouted-Take care of our child.” Listening to his remarks, the teacher was surprised and asked the boy doubtfully. “Have you heard of this story before?” Shaking his head, the boy said softly and sadly, “No, I haven’t. But that’s what my mother said to my father before she died of a deadly disease.” Moved and feeling sad, the teacher replied. “Your answer is absolutely right!” Then she continued, “Let’s take up the story. The ship sank eventually and the husband went home and brought up their daughter alone. Many years later after the death of the man, their daughter was tidying up all his belongings when she found his diary. In his diary she found that when her parents were on the ship, her mother had already been diagnosed (诊断) with advanced illness and at the critical moment, the father rushed to the only chance of survival.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In his diary, the man mentioned he wished to sink to the ocean with his wife but for their daughter he had to live. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The story was finished and the class was silent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
