Are you the type of person who easily gets less confident by negative(消极的) advice?
Follow this short lesson about self confidence.
Henry Ward Beecher was a well-known American churchman, social reformer(改革者)
and speaker in the middle of the 19th century. When he was a young boy in school, he
learned a lesson which he never forgot.
Once he was called up to recite(背诵) in front of the class. When he recited only a few
lines, the teacher interrupted with a forceful "No!" He started over and again the teacher
shouted, "No!" Ashamed, Henry sat down.
The next boy rose to recite and had just begun when the teacher shouted, "No!" This
student, however, kept on reciting until he completed it. As he sat down, the teacher
replied, "Very good!"
Henry was angry. "I recited just as he did," he complained to the teacher.
But the teacher replied, "It is not enough to know your lesson, you must be sure. When
you allowed me to stop you, it meant that you were uncertain, if the world says, No! it is
your business to say Yes! and prove it."
The world will say, "No!" in a thousand ways.
"No! You can't do that."
"No! You are wrong."
"No! You are too young."
"No! You don't have the education."
"No! You don't have the ability."
"No! You don't have the money."
"No! You can't work it out."
And each "No!" you hear has the possibility to weaken your confidence bit by bit until
you give up all together.
When the world says, "No!" to you, you should be strong-minded to say, "Yes!" and
prove it.
25. What did Henry do when the teacher said "No!" to him the second time?A. He started over.

Did you know that about 55% of communication is unspoken, so in fact, our bodies are actually saying morethan our words. I find that the key to a successful conversation in any language is to speak to people not only in
their spoken language but also with the body language they know best.
Britain, along with much of Northern Europe, has a non—touch culture, so personal space is very important.
In a formal(正式的) situation, we would usually greet each other with a handshake. Informally, but not so often,
my British friends and I would greet with a hug. Hardly ever would we greet with a kiss on the cheek, let alone a
hug and two kisses on the cheek!
Here in the south of Italy, and in many different parts of the world, both men and women greet with two kisses
on the cheek, use a lot of hand signs and often touch each other. In other words, little personal space is left between
people when communicating.
At university, I have learnt to successfully communicate in spoken Italian. And since I moved to live with the
local people, I have also started to pick up their body language. Sometimes, I find myself not knowing what hand
signs to use when expressing myself. However, what I know for sure is that I would miss the opportunity to fully
put myself in the Italian culture if I keep my personal space unbroken.
Here are 5 body language tips in Italy:
● Use different signs. head, arms and hands.
● Use facial expressions. Always smile at people! It is said that smiling is the most powerful unspoken way to
communicate friendliness.
● Use eye contact, because "the eyes are the window to the soul."
● Don't worry about personal space. Italians are a people who like to use the sense of touch, so moving away
or keeping your distance may be considered as being unfriendly.
● Touch. When meeting and leaving, always shake hands.
28. The writer uses Britain and Italy as examples to show .
A. men and women greet in the same way
B. Italians are more friendly than the British people
C. keeping personal space is very important in any country
D. people in different countries use different body language
29. From Paragraph 4, we can learn that the writer .
A. likes to keep his personal space B. tries to learn Italian body language
C. knows little about Italian hand signs D. keeps using British body language in Italy
30. What is the most powerful unspoken way to show friendliness in Italy?
A. Hand signs. B. Smiling. C. Eye contact. D. Touch.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. B【解析】

Mindfulness Matters
In recent years, some schools have begun to introduce meditation, or mindfulness training, into their
classrooms. During mindfulness training, students may be asked to sit quietly and observe their own thoughts and
feelings to avoid being controlled by them. Mindfulness training can help students overcome anxiety (焦虑),
control their behavior, and improve their ability to pay attention in class. Students are expected to learn how to
meditate in order to reduce stress and do better in their schoolwork.
Among schools that already teach meditation, the results have been positive. In one study, teachers reported
that after five weeks of mindfulness practice, their students were more focused. They also participated more fully in
class. A middle school in San Francisco reported that a student meditation program led to higher attendance rates
and better grades. Another study suggested that meditation helped students perform better on tests by improving
their working memory and reducing their anxiety.
Many supporters believe that meditation training programs can also help students overcome stress. For
example, Headstand is a mindfulness education program designed to help students overcome anxiety. A study
concluded that ninety-eight percent of participating students felt less stressed after they completed the Headstand
program. In another study, researchers in New Haven, Connecticut, followed students who participated in
meditation and yoga classes three times a week. They found that after each class, participants had lower levels of
cortisol, a stress hormone (激素), in their bodies.Despite the positive results seen so far, critics also point out that much of the current research is not
rigorous(严谨的) enough. Associate Professor Tamar Mendelson agrees that research on meditation in children is
still in its early stages. However, even she insists that she has seen the positive impact of meditation on children.
Others express worries that meditation is not a valuable use of class time. But many disagree. Denise Pope, a
professor from the Stanford University, says, “This is something teachers can do immediately. You get a lot of bang
for your buck and anyone who is against it isn’t thinking clearly.” Indeed, additional studies will surely strengthen
our understanding of the benefits of mindfulness.
Although still in its early stages, research shows that meditation can help students learn to deal with anxiety
and stress. As an added bonus, students of mindfulness training also report better concentration and gains in their
academic performances. Therefore, meditation should be a part of every student’s school day. Participating in
“stillness” can be just as productive as other school-related activities.
31. Why do some schools introduce mindfulness training into classes?
A. To control students’ working memory.
B. To reduce students’ stress and anxiety.
C. To increase students’ attendance rates.
D. To research students’ thoughts and feelings.
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Mindfulness training is not a valuable use of class time at school.
B. Mindfulness training is more productive than other school activities.
C. Students felt more stressful after joining yoga classes three times a week.
D. Students paid closer attention in class after weeks of mindfulness practice.
33. The words “a lot of bang for your buck” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “_____”.
A. challenges B. complaints C. advantages D. influences
34. The writer probably agrees that ______.
A. further studies will prove the benefits of mindfulness training
B. students will become more talented with mindfulness training
C. doctors will do researches on the spread of mindfulness training
D. mindfulness training decides students’ mental and physical health
【答案】31. B 32. D 33. C 34. A

本文是一篇议论文，文中作者主要通过几个实验以及专家教授的观点向我们介绍了在学校内进行正念训练
的好处。【31题详解】
细节理解题。题意：一些学校为什么将正念训练引入校园？根据第一段最后一句“Students are expected to
learn how to meditate in order to reduce stress and do better in their schoolwork.”可知，这是为了减轻学生的压
力和焦虑。故选B。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。题意：我们能从文中了解到什么？根据第二段第二、三句“In one study, teachers reported that
after five weeks of mindfulness practice, their students were more focused. They also participated more fully in
class.”可知，在经过几周的正念训练以后，学生们在课堂上的注意力更加集中了。故选D。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。题意：第四段中“a lot of bang for your buck”的意思可能是。根据后半句“and anyone who is
against it isn’t thinking clearly”可知任何对此反对的人都没有想清楚。再联系本段前文描述可知，Denise
Pope教授不认为正念训练是无价值的应用。由此可知这个短语指的是正念训练的“好处”。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。题意：作者可能同意。阅读短文可知，文中作者主要讲述了正念训练给学生带来的好处，作
者对此的态度是肯定的。因此他认为进一步的研究会证明正念训练的好处。故选A。
四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Can you imagine a world without a writing system for your language? It may be hard to picture it now, but a
man named Sequoyah lived in such a world. Sequoyah was a member of a native American tribe, the Cherokee.
Cherokee people speak their own language, but for hundreds of years they did not have a system of writing.
Without a writing system, the Cherokee had no newspapers or books before 1809.
Sequoyah was probably born around the year 1770 and lived with his mother in a small village in the
mountains of Tennessee. When he grew up, he became a blacksmith. When he was doing business with those
“English-speaking people”, he noticed that they used paper with marks to record their thoughts and ideas.
Sequoyah called these pieces of paper with marks “talking leaves”. He began to wonder why people who spoke
Cherokee did not have a way to write down their words.
In 1809, Sequoyah decided to give the Cherokee their own “talking leaves”. At first he tried to make a
different symbol for every word in the Cherokee language. But in that case, there would be so many symbols and
too hard for people to remember, so he decided to make a picture for each syllable (音节). After much hard work,
Sequoyah invented 85 symbols. In order to see whether it would work, he helped his six-year-old daughter Ayoka
learn each symbol and found she could learn to read and write very quickly. Sequoyah’s invention was a success!
Before long, Sequoyah’s writing system had spread far and wide. Cherokee people living in all different partsof the country learned to read and write. In 1825, Sequoyah’s system was made the official written language for
Cherokee people. To this day, Cherokee speakers still use Sequoyah’s writing system. In some parts of the United
States, you can see street signs and billboards written in both English and Cherokee. Sequoyah will always be
remembered for his important contribution to Cherokee people.
35. Did the Cherokee have newspapers before 1809?
___________________________________________________________
36. What did Sequoyah call the pieces of paper with marks?
___________________________________________________________
37. How many symbols did Sequoyah invent in the Cherokee language?
___________________________________________________________
38. When was Sequoyah’s system made the official written language?

.
【答案】35. No
36. Talking leaves.
37. 85. 38. In 1825.
39. Because of/For his important contribution to Cherokee people. / Because he created the writing system for
Cherokee language. / Because he made the official written language for Cherokee people.
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文，文中主要介绍了塞阔雅（Sequoyah）对切诺基语的发展所做出的巨大贡献。
【35题详解】
题意：在1809年之前，切诺基人有报纸吗？细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Without a writing system,
the Cherokee had no newspapers or books before 1809.”可知没有报纸，答案No.。

题意：Sequoyah把带有符号的纸张称为什么？细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“Sequoyah called these
pieces of paper with marks ‘talking leaves’.”可知，他把这些带有符号的纸张称为“说话的树叶”。答案为
Talking leaves.
