Recycled Orchestra (再生乐团)
Cateura, Paraguay, is not a town, really. It’s next to a landfill where, every day, about 3 million pounds of rubbish
are left. Cateura doesn’t have much to offer its local people, and there’s very little opportunity for the children here.
Favio Chavez wanted to change that. “I went to work in Cateura as an environmental engineer,” Chavez says.
“I saw that there were a lot of children, and I had the idea to teach them music in my free time.” He began giving
lessons with donated (捐赠的) instruments. The classes became so popular that the instruments quickly ran out. So,
he asked Cola to use the neighbourhood’s only thing, rubbish, to create new ones.
Cola found the broken shell of a violin in the landfill and decided to restore (修复) it. Then he decided to
make other instruments made from recycled materials. Violins were made from cans, wooden spoons and forks.
Cellos were made from large oil drums. Trumpets were made from bottle tops and old pipes. Everything came from
the landfill. And so, the Recycled Orchestra was born.
The orchestra’s first concert was held for the proud parents of its members. But word spread about these talented
musicians. Soon, they performed around Paraguay, and later, they travelled to Brazil for a concert. Before long, their
music was being played around the world.
“The orchestra has changed some members’ lives,” says violinist Ada Rios. “When I play the violin I feel like I
am somewhere beautiful else.” Rio s now teaches other children how to play, and she hopes to be a violin teacher.
Chavez doesn’t think that music is the answer to all the problems facing Cateura’s young people. But he knows
that the music lets children experience something special. It’s motivating (激励) them to imagine life beyond Cateura.
“The kids playing in the Recycled Orchestra are creating something out of nothing,” Chavez says. There’s a saying
that “One person’s rubbish is another’s treasure”, and the Recycled Orchestra proves that it’s true.

Many of us were told from an early age that, be it at school or in life, “you learn from your mistakes”. But is
this actually true?
The short answer is “yes”—failure can be a teachable moment. But learning from our mistakes is, in fact, very
hard because we don’t like to fail. It doesn’t feel good, so we react to failure in emotional ways, like giving up on a
task early, telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed, or finding something wrong with the task itself. This is
self-protective, according to Hallgeir Sjastad, a professor at the Norwegian School of Economics. “Most of us want
to think of ourselves as highly skilled and successful”, he says, so when we fail, “it results in a serious danger to our
self-image”.
Luckily, there is a research to suggest that there are some strategies (策略) to help us overcome the emotional
第9页/共18页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司barriers (障碍) around failure. One of them is to hold a third-person perspective (看法). Instead of asking “Why did
I fail?”, we could ask “Why did Sam fail?”, for example. Lots of studies by psychologist Ethan Kross at the University
of Michigan show that holding a third-person perspective helps to reduce our negative emotional influence, allowing
us to look at failure without personal emotions.
A second strategy involves offering advice to others who may be in the same situation as us. This strategy led
to better levels of motivation and academic (学业上的) success in the test groups—involving both adults and
children—that were asked to give advice based on their own failures. Professors Eskreis-Winkler, Fishbach and
Duckworth found that the satisfaction of helping others “forces people to relate with their experience and what they
have learned”.
The writer Samuel Beckett once said: “Fail again, fail better”. But it now seems that we should be saying: “Fail
again, fail smarter”. Failure is a certain part of life, but by learning to overcome the emotional barriers around it, we
may find the road to success is a little easier to discover.
27. According to Hallgeir Sjastad, when we fail, we may ________.
A. feel hard to find something wrong B. care about what we learned from it
C. get bad influence on our self-image D. try our best to become highly skilled
28. What can we learn from the strategies?
A. Learning from others’ mistakes may reduce negative emotions.
B. Giving some advice based on success may cause academic progress.
C. Helping other people overcome emotional barriers is the key to success.
D. Holding a third-person perspective helps us be less emotional about our failures.
29. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To point out some advantages of learning from failure experience.
B. To suggest us helping others with their negative emotional influence.
C. To show better ways to overcome emotional barriers about failures.
D. To stress the importance of finding satisfaction by overcoming failures.

Personality describes the certain ways of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that tell apart a person from others.
The word “personality” comes from the Latin word “persona”, which refers to a mask worn by performers in the
theatre to play roles, or disguise who the person is. Although there are many meanings of mask personality, most
focus on the way of behaviors and characteristics that can help predict and explain a person’s behavior.
Explanations for personality can focus on lots of influences, from genetic (基因的) effects to the role of the
environment and experience in shaping a person’s personality.
Types of Personality
There is popular general knowledge of personality types such as the Myers-Briggs theory. The Myers-Briggs
Personality Type Indicator (MBTI人格类型量表)recognizes a personality based on four aspects: introversion-
extraversion (内倾-外倾), sensing-intuition (实感-知觉), thinking-feeling, and judging-perceiving (判断-感知).
After taking a Myers-Briggs personality test, you are considered one of 16 personality types. Here are some
examples of these personality types:
◇ISTJ: Introverted, sensing, thinking, and judging. People with this personality type are logical, organized,
detail-oriented and practical.
◇INFP: Introverted, intuitive, feeling, and perceiving. They are easy to be idealists and sensitive to their
feelings.
◇ESFJ: Extroverted, sensing, feeling, and judging. They are outgoing, kind, loyal and sensitive.
◇ENFJ: Extroverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging. They are known as “givers” for being warm-hearted and
they are practical.
◇…
________
Research on personality can offer deep understanding about how personality develops and changes over the
course of a lifetime. This research can also have important practical applications in the real world. For example,
people can use a personality test to learn more about themselves and their advantages or disadvantages. Some tests
give people deep understanding about how their personality affects many areas of their lives, including careers,
relationships, personal growth, and more. Understanding your personality type can help you find out what career
you might enjoy, how well you might perform in certain job roles, or how effective a kind of psychological
第11页/共18页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司treatment could be for you. Personality type can also have an influence on your health, including how often you
visit the doctor and how you deal with stress.
Understanding the psychology (心理学) of personality is much more than simply general knowledge or
studying. The findings from personality research can have important applications in the world of medicine, health,
business, economics, technology, among others. By building a better understanding of how personality works, we
can look for new ways to improve both personal and public health.
30. What does the word “disguise” probably mean in Paragraph 1?
A. To question. B. To hide. C. To discuss. D. To guess.
31. What might be the strengths of an ISFJ?
A. Outgoing and kind. B. Humorous and self-confident.
.
C Curious and practical. D. Practical and sensitive.
32. Which of the following would be the best heading for ________?
A. The Influence of Personality. B. The Forms of Personality.
C. The Changes in Personality. D. The Studies on Personality.
33. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. people’s living environment is decided by personality
B. a personality test is a must when looking for a worker
C. deep understanding of how personality works matters a lot
D. learning psychology can largely improve one’s personality

Into the Deep: Ocean Exploration
Salt water covers about 71% of the Earth’s surface, and yet we have spent much more time exploring the Earth’s
mountains, forests, and deserts than studying its oceans. Scientists say that we know more about the moon than we
know about our own oceans. And today, we continue to put more effort on space exploration than on ocean
exploration.
Why is it that we know so little about the oceans that surround us? Perhaps it is because, for centuries, people
thought of the ocean as just a travel network. Ocean exploration was also prevented by the conditions below the
surface. The high pressure of the water would kill an unprotected diver. Water temperature on the ocean floor was
not inviting either. Openings on the ocean floor have temperatures as high as 123℃.
To explore below the surface of the ocean, humans needed special equipment. Early diving suits from the late
eighteenth century and early nineteenth century were not very useful. One type enclosed the diver’s body in a cylinder,
making it difficult to move around. A later type of diving suit replaced the large cylinder with a heavy metal helmet.
Air from above the surface traveled through a tube into the helmet. These early diving suits allowed people to
descend (下降) fifty feet below the ocean surface for about an hour.
In 1872, the first ship equipped for ocean exploration set out on a four-year trip around the world. The ship had
two labs, and it carried the most advanced scientific equipment of the time. Scientists on the ship tested and gathered
information of sea water. They discovered an underwater mountain chain and more than 4,000 new species (物种).
The results of this expedition encouraged interest in exploring farther below the ocean surface.
第13页/共18页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司The work of deep-sea explorers has given us a picture of life far below the surface. There is now greater
understanding of the diversity of life in the ocean. We are now more aware of the importance of healthy oceans. Still,
less than one tenth of 1% of the deep ocean has been explored. Sylvia Earle, one of the leading experts on oceans,
says, “We’re in a new century, and most of the planet has yet to be seen.”
34. How much of the Earth’s surface is covered with salt water?
________________
35. What prevented ocean exploration for centuries?
________________
36. What did the scientists on the first ship equipped for exploration in 1872 discover?
________________
37. Do you think people should put more effort on space exploration or on ocean exploration? Why? (Please give
two reasons.)
________________
【答案】34. About 71% of the Earth’s surface.
35. People thought of the ocean as just a travel network. Ocean exploration was also prevented by the conditions
below the surface.
36. They discovered an underwater mountain chain and more than 4,000 new species.
37. I think people should put more effort on space exploration. Because space is very big and there are more areas
for us to explore. We may find another planet to live in the future. /I think people should put more effort on ocean
exploration. Because ocean covers most surface of our Earth. We should learn more about it, so that we can protect
it better.

【答案】参考范文:
Dear Peter,
How is everything going? I’d like to share you a moving story that happened in my life.
Last week, Xiaohong took part in a singing competition. I was deeply touched by something that happened
then.
During the performance, Xiaohong was too nervous to sing. Seeing this, her teachers and her classmates came
forward to cheer her on and encouraged her not to give up. With their encouragement, Xiaohong was able to rebuild
her confidence and finally finished her competition successfully. Although she didn’t win a prize, she felt proud of
herself for her perseverance.
From the story, I’ve learned that everyone has the power to brighten others’ lives. Therefore, let’s work
together to spread kindness wherever we go, using our actions and words to light up the world around us.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
