jasmine
I bought a jasmine plant for my office. When I bought it, I was told it would bloom (开花) and the sweet smell
would fill my office. I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren’t any flowers or
pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda.
One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised
me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn’t help smelling them. Surrounded
by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something.
Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine
to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away.

A typical example of a morning person is thought to be someone who wakes up naturally at 6 am, exercises,
has breakfast and is ready for a productive day at work by 9 am. Whereas an evening person hates to get up early in
the morning and feels more productive in the evening. What’s behind the different chronotypes (睡眠类型) ?
Researchers have analyzed (分析) the relationship between chronotypes and personality traits. A large number
of participants were asked to answer questionnaires about their sleep timings and personality. Opinions on the
participants’ personality from those who knew them well were also collected. In this way, researchers were able to
see the relationships between sleep and personality.
Researchers found that people high in conscientiousness (认真尽责) and low in openness were connected with
having earlier chronotypes. They went to bed and got out of bed earlier. They also found that less straightforward
and excitement-searching, yet more self-disciplined (自律的) people were more likely to have earlier chronotypes,
too.
These findings have helped researchers come up with two possible pathways of how personality might
influence chronotype. First, personality traits may influence people’s preferences for different social activities,
which in turn, may influence what time people go to bed. For example, people who like searching for excitement
might go to concerts and bars more often, which may keep them up later at night. The second possible way is
through active decisions people make regarding their sleep. More self-disciplined people make decisions to sleep
earlier as a healthy lifestyle choice. Other research has shown people high in self-discipline avoid behaviors that are
harmful to their health.
“Although personality traits go through little change over time,” Professor Anu Realo, one of the researchers,
says, “our findings suggest it might be possible to change your chronotype or at least train yourself into a different,
第5页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司more socially convenient sleep pattern by increasing your self-control.” Evening people who typically experience
worse health could learn to go to bed earlier, or regularly turn off the lights at earlier hours, which might lead to
falling asleep earlier and better health.
27. Which of the following people is most likely to have an earlier chronotype?
A. Peter who often makes mistakes in his work and fails to report on time.B. Tom who enjoys going to different
concerts and parties to make friends.
C. Jane who goes running for an hour every day and hardly ever eats junk food. D. Mary who is popular at
school and prefers to tell others her thoughts directly.
28. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The purpose of the research. B. The background of the research.
C. The progress in the research method. D. The analysis of the research findings.
29. Why does the writer mention Professor Anu Realo’s words in Paragraph 5?
A. To explain how different personality traits influence people’s sleep timings. B. To discuss why a morning
person is more popular than an evening person.
C. To stress regularly turning off the lights at earlier hours is very important. D. To show sleeping patterns could
be changed by increasing self-discipline.
30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Personality Traits: Connections to Your Sleep Timing B. Are Personality Traits Becoming Your Worst Enemy?
C. Personality Traits: Possible Solutions to Your Problems D. Are Personality Traits Changing Your Ways of
Thinking?
D
A Dairy Queen manager stood up for a blind man. The blind man dropped a $20 bill, and a woman picked it
up and pocketed it. Seeing that, the manager threw her out of the restaurant and then handed the man $20 from his
own pocket. His good act made headlines on the Internet. It may not be totally new, but public attention does seem
to be attracted these days by ordinary (普通的) people, who make extraordinary moral (道德的) decisions.
Mimi Drumwright, a professor from University of Texas, says, “This is the type of stories that will encourage
goodness. The reports of the good acts probably will beget more good acts, and that is a good thing. Already,
countless strangers have been paying it forward with $20 to the Dairy Queen manager.”
Some experts, however, question if airing this kind of “good” news is actually good. They say there may be a
downside to overplaying it.
“They did do the right thing. But heroic? I think not. They had the duty to do what they did. It was not above
and beyond the call of duty,” says professor Peter Madsen from Carnegie Mellon.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司When people celebrate what should be ordinary behavior as extraordinary, experts say, it sends a dangerous
message. “I do worry about a culture in which people are giving selves credit for not having done terrible things. It
sets a really low standard for what it takes to be a good person,” says professor Daniel Effron from London
Business School. He thinks praising people for what he calls “the immoral road not taken” could actually have the
opposite effect. When do-gooders are too highly praised, it means that they’re far greater than the rest of us. It even
suggests that most people in that situation would be indifferent to what happens, unwilling to get into trouble or
offer to give a hand. More disappointingly, they won’t feel bad when behaving like this. So, it suggests that most
people are selfish and self-serving, and therefore, it’s OK if they’re selfish and self-serving.
Others, however, argue that the reason why these stories are seen as unusual is not that we devalue (贬低)
ourselves. They suggest we devalue these particular do-gooders.
We have to be careful not to go overboard. But celebrating people for doing the right thing is still the right
thing to do.
31. The underlined word “beget” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. put off B. work out C. lead to D. cut down
32. “A dangerous message” mentioned by experts in Paragraph 5 might suggest ________.
A. people will feel upset when they do anything immoralB. people will think it normal not to offer help to those in
need
C. people won’t be punished even if having done terrible things D. people won’t be afraid of getting into trouble
when giving a hand
33. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. the reports of good acts can have little influence on others B. devaluing ourselves is why we see ordinary
stories as unusual
C. ordinary good acts make headlines because of people’s selfish nature D. praising people for doing the right
thing properly should be encouraged

Today, the bully(欺凌;欺凌者) fight have moved to a new field—cyberspace. Using emails, instant messages,
websites, and cell phones, cyberbullies harm or threaten others on purpose. With their identities(身份) hidden
behind computer screens, cyberbullies can be harder to catch.
Bullying by the Numbers
Criminal-justice professors Justin Patchin and Sameer Hinduja surveyed 1,500 kids aged 10 to 17. They
reported that about one-third of the kids claimed to have been cyberbullied. Sue Limber and Robin Kowalski,
第7页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司researchers and teachers at Clemson University in South Carolina, recently finished a study of 3,767 students in
grades six through eight. They found the most popular method of cyberbullying is instant messaging. Unkind
messages in chat rooms, emails, and on websites were close behind. Limber and Kowalski also found that girls
were twice as likely as boys to be the target(目标) of attacks.
That’s enough!
Several states either have laws or are working on laws that require school districts to stop cyberbullying and
punish students who are involved.
Finding out the identity of the bully and getting kids to report a problem cause additional problems. “It is
difficult for someone who is being cyberbullied to know who is doing it because identities can often be hidden or
,
wrong ” Limber says. If you are a victim(受害者), she advises, ask an adult for help.
Ways to avoid bullies
Here are the top three skills kids need to develop in order to avoid school bullies. First, appear confident.
Bullies look for kids that show fear and low self-esteem. How victims reply, how they hold their head, whether they
stand tall, even the tone of their voice can signal that a kid might make an easy target. Second, develop friendships.
Bullies look for kids who lack connections or who are alone and target them. Even one good friend at school can
greatly help you out. Third, Be away from bullying places. Make sure you know that there are some areas at school
where bullying is more likely to happen.
34. How many kids were surveyed by Justin Patchin and Sameer Hinduja?

35. According to Limber and Kowalski, who is more likely to be the target of cyberbullying?
