The Winning Team
Peter kept his eyes on the ground. He felt like there was a heavy weight on his shoulders as he walked home
alone. It was the worst day of his life. His mind would not stop thinking about what happened only just an hour ago
第3页/共9页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司on the school soccer field. How could he have missed scoring that goal? He had let his whole team down. His
stupid mistake made him angry. His team had lost the game because of him. He was really worried that his coach
might kick him off the team.
As soon as he walked through the door, his father asked, “What’s wrong, son?” Peter’s feelings were written
all over his face. “I lost the game,” Peter replied. Then he went into his room without another word. Ten minutes
later, Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in.
“Look, Peter. I don’t know what happened. But whatever it was, don’t be too hard on yourself.”
“I lost the game, Dad. I failed my team. They’ll probably never let me play again.”
“Soccer is about team effort. You’re not the only reason your team lost. If you have a good team, you should
support each other, besides, winning or losing is only half the game. The other half is learning how to communicate
with your teammates and learning from your mistakes.”
Peter didn’t say anything, but what his father said made him think carefully.
The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with courage rather than fear in his heart. “Hey, guys,” he said to
his teammates. “I’m really sorry about yesterday. We were so close to winning that game. But I think if we continue
to pull together, we’re going to win the next one.”
To his surprise and relief, his teammates all nodded in agreement.
“Yeah,” they said, “don’t worry about it. It’s never just one person’s fault. We should think about how we can
do better next time.”
Peter smiled. It made him feel lucky to know that he was on a winning team.

As teenagers grow up, they start to make their own decisions. However, during this period, if left unchecked,
could lead to more serious ones when they become adults. To prevent harmful habits from controlling a teenager’s
life is important. They must learn to recognize bad habits early and make proper changes.
To change bad habits is never easy. In many ways, our lifestyle is the sum of choices we have made. We make
a choice to do something, and then we repeat it over and over again. Soon that choice forms a habit that is much
harder to change. The good news is that we can change
According to modern psychology, we must first learn about the “habit cycle”, which works like this.
Firstly, there is a “cue”, an action, or situation that acts as a signal to do something.
Secondly, there is a “routine”, the regular (有规律的) response (反应) to the cue.
Thirdly, there is the “reward”, the good thing or feeling we get from the routine.
For example, when we feel unhappy (cue), we eat lots of unhealthy snacks (routine) (reward). The reward
makes us much more likely to continue the cycle, and the bad habit of depending on unhealthy snacks is formed.
To facilitate (促进) a positive change in our bad habits, we must first examine our habit cycles and then try to
change them. For example, when we feel unhappy again, rather than eat snacks, which will make us feel relaxed.
Aside from changing bad habits, we can also use the habit cycle to create good habits. For example, our normal
routine is to ride it, but we could change this routine into something more positive taking the stairs instead.
Many of us try to change bad habits quickly, and if we are not successful straight away, we often give up. In
fact, a person must show some self-control and repeatedly take many small steps.
For young people, there is plenty of time to change bad habits. However, there s no “magic pill”.
27. Which of the following means “the three periods of the habit cycle”?
A. B. C. D.
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Repeating a choice to do something helps to form a good habit.
B. To improve the routine of the habit cycle helps to create good habits.
C. Young people can change habits easily because they have enough time.
D. The most successful way of changing a bad habit usually takes less time.
29. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of forming good habits.
B. Suggestions for young people’s lifestyles.

People with the growth mindset (思维形式) believe that intelligence (智力) or skill, can be developed through
effort. Basically, they believe that anyone can develop their abilities in anything.
The opposition of the growth mindset is the fixed mindset. People with this believe that intelligence and skill
are innate: it’s something that we’re born with. We’re either born gifted or not; there is no room for change.
Basically, they believe intelligence is fixed from birth.
All of us are a mixture of both the growth and fixed mindsets. In some areas of our lives, we operate with the
growth mindset. In others, we operate with the fixed mindset. Because of this, we all wear both in different
situations in our lives. Although, we should all try to wear the growth ones much more than we wear the fixed ones.
But, why?
A lot of research seems to suggest that people with the growth mindset are more successful than people with
the fixed mindset. For example, a study found that students who held a growth mindset were three times more
likely to score in the top 20% on the test, while students with a fixed mindset were four times more likely to score
in the bottom 20%. Another study found that when 7th graders participated in a growth mindset program, they were
able to avoid a drop in grades which usually happens in middle school.
People with the growth mindset are much more resilient (有适应力的) which allows them to deal with
challenging and difficult situations. Because they prioritize (优先考虑) learning over failure, people with the fixed
mindset don’t, want to challenge themselves because they believe talent and intelligence are fixed. They look at
failure as an assault (攻击), failure once means failure always.
We know that the brain can continue to learn until the day we die, thanks to the field of neuroscience (神经科
学). It also seems quite clear that people must work hard and keep trying even when they meet difficulties if they
want to be successful. So the growth mindset seems to be a much more correct view of reality than the fixed
mindset. People with the growth mindset are living in greater accordance (符合) with relality than people with the
fixed mindset. They can make truer decisions while a person with the fixed mindset lives in a greater state of
delusion (妄想). So, now you know why the growth mindset is important. Keep in mind that it takes a lot of effort
to develop and that it will always be a hard fight to a avoid falling into the fixed mindset.
30. People with the growth mindset ________.
.
A think learning and developing are more important
B. believe they are born with intelligence and skill
C. are afraid of making mistakes and taking risks
D. are less likely to deal with difficult situations

32. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. if people fail once in their life, they may never become successful
B. if people operate with two mindsets, they are more likely to succeed
C. if people can challenge themselves, they will have intelligence and skill
D. if people understand the real world correctly, they may make true decisions
33. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce the ways to develop mindsets.
B. To discuss why people have different mindsets.
C. To compare the growth mindset with the fixed mindset.

Great Grandmother Still Studying
At the age of 95, Nola Ochs became one of the world’s oldest college graduates. Ochs received her bachelor’s
degree (学士学位) in general studies and history at Fort Hays State University in May, 2007.
At her graduation ceremony, the crowd gave her a warm welcome. And they kept standing until the names of
all 2176 graduates were read. Her granddaughter, Alexandra Ochs, Nola was interviewed by a famous magazine.
She seemed a little embarrassed by all the attention. “I was just another student,” she said in the interview.
However, none of the other graduates was entered into the Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest college
graduate at that time. The former record holder was Mozelle Richardson, who got a degree from the University of
Oklahoma in 2004 at the age of 90.
Nola has a family that includes 3 sons, 13 grandchildren and 15 even younger ones. After the death of her
husband, she started taking classes sometimes but not often in 1972 at Dodge City Community College. When she
moved to Fort Hays in 2006, she completed the final 30 hours which were required for her degree.
Kansas Board of Regents member Dan Lykins addressed the graduates and praised Ochs’ achievements at the
graduation ceremony. “Follow the footsteps of people like Nola and never give up,” Lykins said.
