In the workplace, we have to deal with different people, and the best way to do that is to find empathy to better
学科网（北京）股份有限公司understand them. Here are three fruit personalities and how best to deal with them.
Apple: hard core, doesn't brulse easlly
Apple types are direct and don't suffer fools. They are fast, logical thinkers who love to win and hate to lose
control. They'll get a result at any cost, but see conflict as sport.
Managing apples:
·Have your facts （or suffer the consequences）
·Always stand up to them.
·Get to the point.
·Be fast and logical.
·Watch and learn- they make great mentors.
Lemon: intense and concentrated
Lemons love structure, detail, order and rules. They are worriers who like safety, security and predictability. They
love detail and are awesome at spotting gaps in a plan. But too many rules can be frustrating to others.
Managing lemons:

·Slow your pace if you're fast, quieten down if you're loud.
·Don't surprise them.
·Don't threaten their security.
·Know you can never give too much detail.
Banana: sweet and soft
Banana types enjoy harmony in the workplace and shy away from conflict. They have loads of empathy. They are
excellent in customer service roles, yet they can irritate people by being too nice.
When they're too accommodating, they can be seen as indecisive.
Managing bananas:
·Don't pressure them, but motivate.
·Encourage their opinions, and listen.
·Don't overload them with your problems.
·Provide regular feedback opportunities.
·Be nice-that's all they want.

It was a sunny winter day. I had gone up and down the tower when, outside the little door at the foot, a blind man
came toward me. He was a pale, thin man with dark glasses. He kept close to the inner wall of the courtyard. On
学科网（北京）股份有限公司reaching the door, he touched it and sharply turned inside. In a moment, he disappeared up the staircase. I stood still,
looking at the little sign that said “To the Tower… ” I felt obliged to follow.
I didn't follow closely. I caught up with him in the ticket office. There I was surprised to see the attendant selling
him a ticket as though he were any other visitor. With the ticket in one hand and touching the wall with the other, he
reached the staircase leading to the hallway.
“That man is blind,” I said to the attendant, but he showed no concern. “He's blind,” I repeated. He didn't
answer, looking at me vacantly.
“Perhans he wants to jump,” I said. But his chair was too comfortable. He didn't stir. He still looked down at a
crossword puzzle he had begun. I turned toward the staircase.
“The ticket,” the attendant said, rising from his chair. It seemed the only thing that could move him. After
purchasing my ticket, I hurried up the staircase.
The man hadn't gone as far as I imagined. After ten minutes, I approached him. “Excuse me,” I said as politely as
I could, “but I am very curious to know why you came up.”
“You'd never guess,” he said.
“Not the view, I take it, or the fresh air on this winter day,” I said.
He smiled. “Coming up the stairs, one can feel the change-the coo staircase suddenly becomes quite warm, —
and how up here behind the wall there is shade, but as soon as one goes opposite a narrow window one finds the sun.
In all of Siena there is no place so good as here.”
He moved into the sunlight. Then he stepped into the shade. “Light, shade, light, shade,” he said, and seemed as
pleased as a child who, in a game of hopscotch, jumps from square to square.
We went down the tower together. I left him, gladdened as one can only be by the sunlight.
24. Why did the author follow the blind man?
A. To offer timely help. B. To satisfy his curiosity.
C. To teach him a lesson. D. To prevent him from climbing up.
25. What was the attendant's attitude to visitors?
A. Enthusiastic. B. Concerned. C. Indifferent. D. Skeptical.
26. What encouraged the blind man to climb the tower?
A. The fresh air on the top. B. The pleasant childhood memories.
C. The fantastic view from the tower. D. The striking contrast between light and shade.
27. What message does the writer want to convey in the text?
A. Nature is the best gift for humanity.
B. When one door shuts, another opens in life.
C. Every individual can appreciate beauty in life.
D. The disadvantaged deserve care from the society.
C
Curiosity is the driving force behind our development and even our success. But it can also be dangerous, leading
to setbacks or even downfalls, so why are humans so curious? Do scientists even have a definition for this inborn
drive?
Actually, there isn't one set in the stone . Psychologists agree curiosity isn't about satisfying an
学科网（北京）股份有限公司immediate need, like hunger or thirst; rather, it's intrinsically （内在地） motivated. Curiosity covers such
large set of bebaviors that there probably isn't any single “curiosity gene” that makes humans wonder about
and explore their environment. Genes and the environment interact in many complex ways to shape individuals and
guide their behavior, including their curiosity.
Regardless of their genetic makeup, infants have to learn an incredible amount of information in a short time,
and curiosity is one of the tools humans have found to accomplish that huge task. In a classic study, a psychologist
showed that infants between 2 months and 6 months old grew less and less interested in a complex visual pattern the
more they looked at it. But curiosity often comes with a cost. In some situations, the risks are low and failure is a
healthy part of growth. For instance, many babies are perfectly proficient crawlers, but they decide to try walking
because there's more to see and do when they stand upright. But this milestone comes at a small cost. A study of 12- to
19-month-olds learning how to walk documented that these children fell down a lot. Seventeen times per hour, to be
exact. But walking is faster than crawling, so this motivates expert crawlers to transition to walking.
Sometimes, however, testing out a new idea can lead to disaster. For instance, the Inuit people of the Arctic
regions have created incredible modes to deal with the challenges of living in northern r climates, but what we forget
about are the tens of thousands of people that tried and failed to make it in those challenging landscapes.
28. What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?
A. Curiosity is hard to define.
B. Humans are not afraid of setbacks.
C. Scientists are not curious about the stone.
D. Curiosity isn't the driving force behind growth.
29. What do psychologists agree about the nature of curiosity?
A. Sets of behaviors guide curiosity.
B. Immediate needs drive curiosity.
C. External factors determine curiosity.
D. Genes and environment work together on curiosity.
30. What contributes to babies' growing milestones?
A. They prefer novelty. B. They fear failures.
C. They desire to achieve tasks. D. They make their own decisions.
31. Why does the author mention the Inuit people in the last paragraph?
A. To prove how curiosity helped them survive.
B. To show curiosity may come with a high price.
C. To describe why Inuit people needed curiosity.
D. To show how Inuit people overcame the challenges.
D
There is a benefit in acknowledging the fact that our brains are born with a negativity preference that serves to protect
us from potential harm. We would not have lasted very long as a species if our ancestors had kept optimistic in the
face of a charging tiger rather than thinking the worst and allowing the natural response of fight-or-flight to kick in.
The psychological technique of using a negative outlook for personal growth is known as defensive pessimism
（DP）. Rather than forcing oneself to adopt a positive mindset, DP focuses on preparing for worst cases, thereby
学科网（北京）股份有限公司reducing anxiety. Let's face it: Telling an anxious mind not to worry is as useless as trying not to get wet in a rainstorm
by thinking sunny thoughts; better to take shelter. Many people have used this technique in their daily lives without
giving it a name. COVID-19 gave us all a chance to practice DP. as we look precautions to decrease our chances of
becoming infected.
This psychological mind trick is not without its drawbacks. Applied too often, life can become a series of
setbacks, only taking discomfort in the fact that one's prediction of the worst case came true. Personal relationships
may also suffer, as the optimists in one's life grow weary of the glass always being half-empty and will, at times, take
to ironically singing “Don't worry, be happy” as payback.
There is likely to be a day when the glass-half-empty/half-full debate is replaced by the realization that optimism
and pessimism don't oppose each other, they support each other. and trying to have one without the other is like trying
to have a one-sided coin.
32. What would defensive pessimists do in wet weather?
A. Picture sunny days. B. Open an umbrella.
C. Feel the rainstorm. D. Run through the rain.
33. The example of “COVID-19” in paragraph 2 is used to _________.
A. make a comparison B. propose an argument
C. introduce a topic D. clarify a concept
34. Which of the following may a defensive pessimist believe?
A. Whatever will be, will be. B. Every cloud has a silver lining
C. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. D. The glass is half full not half empty.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. In defense of pessimism B. The exploration of psychology
C. Pessimism: a one-sided coin D. Negativity: tricky in psychology

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Your manager stops you and says she needs to have a word about your performance in the recent project. She
begins by praising you for the good work you've done on the project, and you wonder if this is the praise that starts
off the typical “feedback sandwich”. 3 6 Say something nice, say what you really want to say, say something
nice again.
However, when feedback becomes such a routine, employees can start to perceive positive feedback as simply a
form of sugarcoating the negatives, thus decreasing its value. Instead, positive feedback should not simply be seen as
something to cushion the negative. 3 7 Below are three tips to help you make positive feedback count.
3 8 When positive and negative feedback always appear to go hand in hand, the positives can become
devalued and ignored. Ensure there are times when positive feedback is given for its own sake and resist the
temptation to offer constructive criticism.
Cultivate a “growth mindset”. Many of us tend to focus our praise on the end result and seeming inborn talents.
For example, 3 9 However, research suggests that by focusing on the process of box things are done, we can
encourage the development of new skills and the continued enhancement of talents.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Create a culture of offering positive feedback. Make giving positive feedback part of your team culture. Don't
just wait for special moments to give feedback. Offer informal positive feedback when making small talk. 4 0
Encourage peer feedback among team members and colleagues and actively ask them for positive comments on each
other's performances on tasks.
A. you have a real talent for organizing events.
B. You know how the feedback sandwich goes.
C. Attempt to inject some positivity into negative feedback.
D. you really put a lot of effort into making this event a success.
E. Don't always follow positive feedback with negative feedback.
F. Feedback doesn't have to only come from the higher ranks either.
G. It should also be delivered so as to reinforce and encourage good performance.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My parents were always against me owning my own pet, afraid of the mess it would make or that I would
quickly lose interest in taking care of it, but we made a compromise: I could volunteer at a local pet shelter on the
学科网（北京）股份有限公司weekends to test my sense of responsibility and dedication. That was how I first came to volunteer at the Avondale pet
shelter and—more importantly—where I met my future best friend, Chocolate.
One hot August afternoon, my boss Charlie told me that they were bringing in a young black Labrador Retriever
and that I'd be its primary caretaker. An hour after our conversation and in came Chocolate—a beautiful dog with
shining brown fur and amazing blue eyes. At about 3 months old, I expected him to be a lot more energetic
and playful, but he immediately backed and lay down at the back of his pen（围栏）.
I asked Charlie what was the matter with him. He replied that Chocolate had a genetic problem which caused him
to be born with a short tail, leading potential owners to think there was something wrong with him; so the breeder felt
that they had no choice but to give up the puppy to the shelter.
He was overlooked and underappreciated. I felt very angry at the thought that an otherwise healthy dog could be
thrown away so easily. At the same time, I felt a deep sympathy for this dog who had been cheated out of the love and
attention he deserved. It was at this moment that I resolved to give Chocolate as much love and attention as I could
while working as a volunteer.
Although Chocolate was reluctant and shy at first. eventually through enough treats and play he slowly came
around and warmed up to me. Soon enough, whenever I came around his pen to let him out for his turn of walks and
play, Chocolate was always excited and jumping with joy.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: As time passed by, the connection between Chocolate and I grew stronger and stronger.
_____________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: One day, Charlie said Chocolate must find a home soon or he would be removed.

First-time visitors to Kuching can get to know the city by taking a walk along the Sarawak River. The tree-lined path

governor. Nearby is Fort Margherita, a white-walled building which was built to protect the city from attacks.

sour soup.

In order to enhance the fire safety awareness and emergency response capabilities of the students, a fire drill
themed “Focus on Fire Safety, Cherish Life” was successfully conducted in our school.
Initially, professional firefighters were invited to deliver on-site explanations and demonstrated the correct usage
of fire extinguishers and fire hydrants. Then, during the drill, the moment the alarm sounded, all students covering
their mouths and noses with wet towels bent down low, and promptly evacuated to a safe area in an orderly manner
according to the predetermined escape route.
Through this fire drill, not only did we acquire essential fire prevention knowledge and skills but our fire safety
awareness was further strengthened.

As time passed by, the connection between Chocolate and I grew stronger and stronger. The grassland of the
shelter often witnessed heartwarming and harmonious scenes where a girl and a dog chased after each other, or
curdled together, leisurely enjoying sunshine's caress. With my company and care, Chocolate's previous shyness and
timidity gave way to curiosity and enthusiasm. So attached was he to me that he even bit my trousers to stop my pace
when I had to head home. Magically, whenever I approached him, my heart would brim with warmth and affection, a
sense of responsibility to protect him rising deep down. Perceiving him as my best friend, I resolved to attend to him
well and sheltered him from any potential harm.

from the blue, making my heart sink with deep concern that he would be ruthlessly abandoned again. However, it
suddenly struck me that I could be Chocolate's owner. Filled with eagerness and anticipation, I pleaded with my
parents to allow me to keep Chocolate. Beyond my wildest dreams, they should approve of my request, telling me
“Honey, your unconditional love and continuous devotion to Chocolate eventually made us change our original
idea.” Now, it is a blessing that Chocolate has become my family member and it is he that awakens me to the
realization that nothing can be a greater delight than dedicating love and reaping trust in reward.
