Paul and Jason were brothers who lived and worked on neighbouring farms. For 35 years they farmed side by
side, sharing machinery and goods as needed, without a single problem.
However, one autumn, things changed. It began with a tiny disagreement about a horse, which grew into a
major difference. The difference led to angry words, followed by weeks of silence between the two brothers
One morning there was a knock on Paul’s door. He opened it and saw a builder holding his toolbox. “I’m
looking for a few days’ work”, the builder said. “Are there any jobs here I could help with?”
“Yes,” answered Paul, extremely pleased to see the builder. “I do have a job for you. Look at that farm across
the creek (小溪). That’s my brother’s farm. That creek used to be a grass field, but last week my brother dug a path

hand. “You are a good man to have built this bridge after all I’ve done,” said Jason.
Then, Paul, with tears in his eyes, said to the builder who was packing his bag to go, “Thank you so much.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司A mindset is the way of thinking. Your mindset can affect almost every part of your daily life. Dr. Carol
Dweck, a scientist who studies how the mind works, has discovered that people with a fixed mindset deal with
problems in a different way from those with a growth mindset.
Imagine that two students, Anna and Amy, are taking a really hard math test in September. Anna has a fixed
mindset, which means she believes that a person’s intelligence is fixed. You’re either smart or stupid, and if you’re
smart, everything is easy for you. Amy has a growth mindset, which means she believes that intelligence can grow.
Not everyone can become a genius, but they can improve the skills they have and develop new ones.
So, which is right? It’s Amy, since, believe it or not, research shows that you really can get smarter by working
hard, practising, and challenging yourself.
As you know, your brain is made up of billions of neurons (神经元). They are all connected and send
messages to each other. Scientists have found that when we learn, neurons make new connections and old
connections grow stronger. But if connections aren’t used, they will break down. So, learning is like exercise for
your brain. The more you work it out, the stronger and smarter your network of neurons will become.
According to Dr. Carol Dweck’s studies, people with a fixed mindset worry about grades. They’re afraid of
looking stupid when they make mistakes. People with a growth mindset care about learning not grades. They learn
from their mistakes and try to find different ways of solving problems. They ask for help when necessary. In only
two years, babies learn to walk, talk and feed themselves. They never worry about looking stupid when learning. If
they make mistakes, they just try again.
Dweck’s team also discovered that, with some work, kids can choose to have a growth mindset. They can do
better in school. The trick is to notice what mindset you have. If you ever think yourself stupid, it’s not true. You
just have not learned how to do something yet.
34. Which of the following is true about neurons?
A. Learning is not always helpful to them.
B. All of them are connected to each other.
第6页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. They only make new connections when we study.
D. The connections among them will never break down.
35. What might a man with a growth mindset agree about?
A. If people are smart enough, they can do everything easily.
B. The mindset plays the most important role in people’s life.
C. People will look foolish when they make mistakes in study.
D. Everyone can get smarter by working hard and practising more.
36. Why does the writer give the example of babies in Paragraph 5?
A. To show babies learn new skills from mistakes.
.
B To show babies easily make mistakes in daily life.
C. To show babies learn skills faster than older people.
D. To show babies have fewer worries than older people.
37. How did the writer develop his main idea?
A. By listing numbers. B. By telling true stories.
C. By comparing the differences. D. By showing reasons and results.

Think about what you like to wear on the weekend. There’s a good chance that you like to put on a pair of blue
jeans. ___41___
To make jeans feel nicer and give them a blue colour, some man-made chemicals are added to denim (牛仔布)
. Every time we wash our jeans, small bits of denim drop. ___42___ Scientists studied the Great Lakes in America
and found denim waste in it. The harmful chemicals in denim have spread far and wide. ___43___ It’s because
they may take the bits of denim as food by mistake.
___44___ The answer was worrying: About 50, 000 bits. Not all of them come into the environment.
Wastewater treatment factories can deal with 99% of them. This may sound pretty good. However, the rest of them
still have a bad influence on the environment.
___45___ Probably not. “We need to buy fewer jeans and only wash them when we truly need to do it,” says
Sam Athey, one of the scientists. Maybe you can wash your jeans less often or find new ways to recycle old jeans,
so they don’t harm the planet.
A. Does this mean we shouldn’t wear jeans?
第8页/共10页

D. They come out of our washing machine and into the world’s rivers, lakes and oceans.
E. Scientists also washed jeans to see how many bits of denim each pair would drop for each wash.
