学科网（北京）股份有限公司Earlier this year Rodney Smith Jr. made headlines when he drove eight hours from his
home in Huntsville. Alabama, to cut the lawn for an elderly soldier in North Carolina who
couldn't find anyone to help him with his yard work.
That wasn't the first time the twenty-nine-year-old Bermuda native had gained such at-
tention. To do his good deeds, Rodney often finds leads for those in need through social
media.
Back to one August afternoon in 2015, Rodney Smith Jr. was driving home. That's
when Rodney saw an elderly man struggling to mow（割草） his lawn. He would take a
couple of shaky steps, using the handle to stabilize himself, pause, then slowly push the
mower again. Rodney decided to help. Mr. Brown thanked him greatly, and Rodney went
home feeling satisfied.
Sitting at his computer to do his homework, Rodney couldn't get Mr. Brown out of
his mind. There must be many Mr. Browns out there. He went online and posted that he
would mow lawns for free for senior citizens. Messages flooded in.
One day a cancer-battling woman said she wasn't having a good day. Rodney decided
to do more than mowing lawns. After he finished mowing, he knocked on her door.
"You're going to win this fight, Madam, he said. Then he asked folks to pray for her on
social media.
Word of Rodney's mission spread. A grandmother in Ohio said he'd encouraged her 12-
year-old grandson to mow lawns. He got a letter from a seven-year-old boy in Kansas.
"Mr. Rodney, I would like to be a part of your program, and I'll make you proud, " he
wrote.
That gave Rodney an idea. In 2017, he decided to establish a programme Raising Men
Lawn Care Service to make a national movement for young people. The kids learn the joy
of giving back.
Yard work seems like a small, simple thing, but taking care of the lawn means a lot
to the people they do it for. "When we mow their yards for free, they can use the money
for healthcare and food etc. It means more than you would think, " Rodney said.
24. Rodney drew attention for his _____.
A. mowing skills B. ambition C. driving distance D. generosity
Page 5 of 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司25. Why did Rodney knock on a lady's door?
A. To comfort her. B. To pray for her.
C. To share gardening tips. D. To ask about her health.
26. Where do Rodney's decisions come from?
A. National media. B. Personal success.
C. Daily inspiration. D. People's courage.
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Giving Free, Gaining Fortune
B. Mowing a Lawn, Making a Life
C. Serving the Senior, Satisfying the Self
D. Changing a little, Challenging the Limits

When I started Social-Engineer, I just left a company that was amazing. It was like a
family. The pain of leaving was real for me and like all family separation, it wasn't 100%
smooth. I was heartbroken to leave but wanted to take every lesson I learned to my new
company. I was determined to also take all the good memories with me. Yes, there were
mistakes from both sides of the fence but instead of focusing on those, I went away re-
membering all the great times, life lessons and growth I had gifted to me.
I figured I would grow my company by being a nice man and working hard, and
never demanding more from my people than I was willing to give, believing this approach
would ean respect and effort in return. I would say things to myself like, "Well, I did this,
so they should do that. "Or"I am this way, so they should be that way. "
And to be honest, it felt real. It felt like it was an honest evaluation.
But. . . But. . . But. . .
I started to have people problems. I am a very strong, direct communicator and al-
though in many ways that is a strength, it can be a weakness in other ways. I often hurt
people's feelings. Even though I was very self-aware of this, I still messed up. Now this is
odd to admit out loud for a company that basically focuses on helping dozens of companies
make huge changes.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司I went to see a psychologist. Natasha actively listened to all I said and then every
now and then presented a thought as a question or a mild statement. She wanted to chal-
lenge me to change, challenge me to expand my thoughts. I was in my session with
Natasha and I was saying things like this:
"I gave this person tens of thousands of dollars in a raise in one year, they should be
more appreciative. "
"I have a great salary, benefits and support package, this person should have been
more thankful.”
Natasha stopped me and said, "Well, you just SHOULD all over yourself, didn't you?
Did you pay for devotion? Did you pay for honor? Did you pay for appreciation?"
The sad answer was NO.
"You want to see the change that you so desire- then be the change, " Natasha said.
She then mentioned Bruce Lee, who said "Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like
water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it
becomes the bottle. . . . Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. "
I know what I should do. Will you join me?

Ten years ago, the professors Brian Lucas and Loran Nordgren encountered a contra-
diction. On the one hand, we recognize that other people are more likely to make creative
breakthroughs when they persevere. On the other hand. when we feel stuck on a problem,
most of us fail to sec how successful we'll be if we just keep trying. We tend to believe that
our creativity drops over time- that if our best ideas don't come to us immediately, they
won't come at all.
Lucas and Nordgren cat this misunderstanding the "creative cliff illusion", which refers
to the false belief that our creativity sharply declines after an initial period of effort, lead-
ing us to underestimate our ability to generate new and innovative ideas with continued
perseverance. In one experiment, they asked participants to spend 10 minutes generating "as
many original ideas for things to eat and drink at a Thanksgiving dinner as you can. " Af-
terward, participants were asked to guess how many ideas they would come up with during a
second 10-minute period. Most expected to generate far fewer ideas the second time
around, but in fact they produced just as many during that second period-66 percent more
than they had guessed. And those were rated by other people as more creative than the ini-
tial ideas.
Though we tend to think our ability to come up with ideas is easily consumed, we
actually get more creative the longer we focus on a problem or task. One major reason for
this is known as the "serial-order effect". Each next creative idea we have is likely to be
better than the one that came before.
The serial-order effect isn't always easy to see. Most of us have adopted the belief
that creativity should feel easy, or "fluent". And so we associate mental difficulty with
pointlessness. But working through bad ideas is a necessary step in the creative process.
The first solutions that come to mind tend to be either preexisting ideas or popular wisdom.
These are the paths of least resistance. Though avoiding them requires some work, it's the
surest way to find original ideas that aren't immediately manifest.
Page 8 of 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司The serial-order effect applies to tasks that last minutes or days, but creativity also im-
proves across years, decades, and even careers. The life's work of most successful en-
trepreneurs proves it.
32. What does the contradiction mainly tell us about?
A. Two professors' wonder. B. The best ideas for failures.
C. People's mental tendency. D. Immediate solutions to creativity.
33. How would the participants feel about the second-round results?
A. Humble. B. Surprised. C. Hopeful. D. Unconcerned.
34. What does the underlined word "manifest" mean?
A. Obvious. B. Effective. C. Attractive. D. Acceptable.
35. What does the text intend to tell us?
A. People can be more creative with age.
B. Creativity comes from creative approaches.
C. Creativity actually increases with continued effort.
D. People can avoid misunderstandings about creativity.

余选项,
Despite what most people might think, you really don't need much time to work out.
In fact, even ten to twenty minutes of challenging exercise a few times a week is enough
to burn fat, build muscle, boost strength, and contribute to a healthy, active lifestyle. 3 6
But sometimes, the resistance isn't really about the actual time the workout takes. It's
about the energy it takes to get ready for it. Maybe your stress levels are over the top, or
your energy levels have been so low that you keep talking yourself out of a workout. Or
maybe you just don't want to get all sweaty and have to take a shower afterward. 37
In such fast-paced life, we're al struggling. But when it comes to exercise, being healthy
and fit isn't as black and white as the fitness world tries to make it seem. 3 8 Doing
something is always better than nothing when it comes to movement. Micro workouts, like
getting out for a fifteen-minute walk instead of doing the strength training workout, are sig-
nificantly better than doing nothing at all.
Page 9 of 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司39 They are time-saving, since they can be done in seconds or in as little time
as 15-20 minutes. They require minimum space and equipment. Many can be done at home,
in the park, or even while waiting in the checkout line. They are also money-saving as
these can be done without a gym membership, coach, trainer, or class instructor.
So in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle, make time to move. 40 If all the
movements like push-ups and pull-ups add up, you will still get many of the same benefits
of a longer, harder workout.
A. These are understandable excuses.
B. Fitness can be simple, easy and convenient.
C. The advantages of micro workouts are apparent.
D. Try to add in micro workouts throughout the day.
E. No matter how busy you are, you have time to exercise.
F. Micro workouts are being backed up by trainers and science.
G Being healthy is really more important than you can imagine.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司A lady named Ela lived in a small, pretty town surrounded by gentle hills and big.
green forests. Her favorite place in the whole world was her kitchen. It was like her spe-
cial art studio, but for making delicious food. Ella loved cooking, especially for her mom,
who really enjoyed old-fashioned, tasty dishes. Every night, they would sit down together and
enjoy the tasty food that Ella made with lots of care and love.
Ella's mother always said, "Cooking is not just about feeding my body; it's about feed-
ing my soul. "Ella kept these words close to her heart, and cooking became a spiritual bond
between her mother and her. They shared joyful times, with Ella carefully measuring each
cooking material and making her mom's favorite while her mom told stories of her own
childhood kitchen adventures. On cold evenings, they would laugh together as they added
spices to a hearty stew, the steam making the kitchen windows foggy and turning it into a
warm, comfortable place.
However, this bond was broken when her mother passed away. The kitchen, once
filled with warmth, the smell of spices and the sound of laughter, turned into a place that
just reminded Ella of her mom and made her very sad. She avoided the recipe books, as
they brought back memories of their cooking sessions- like the time they accidentally used
salt instead of sugar in cookies, but ended up laughing it off and making it once again
together. With her mom gone, the joy of cooking faded, leaving Ella with a heart heavy
with loss.
Months turned into years, and Ella's interest in cooking faded into a distant memory.
But life had other plans for her. One day, Ella came across a volunteer group that attended
to seniors in her community. Moved by their dedication, she decided to join them.
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。
As Ella spent more time with the seniors, she noticed their longing for home-cooked
meals.
Ella finally found herself on the path to recovery and rediscovery.
