Test 1 (2025 北京卷)
What is adulthood? Societies all over the world view the concept of an adult as self-supporting and self-directed,
because it identifies a point in the life cycle.
As Alice Black points out, today’s parents’ fear of letting kids do more housework has added to their inability to
feel competent and, thus, confident in themselves. Psychologist Robert Turner wrote about this in his book, The Life
Cycle, mentioning a stage when kids learn self-direction and mastery. 35
But Turner’s other cycles are just as important. 36 If these life cycles are delayed, interrupted, or denied,
you feel incapable of accessing your states of self, controlling unpleasant feelings, and manipulating (操控) the energy
that puts together the fabric of your inner world.
Turner wisely said that “doing well” psychologically is being able to roll with the flow of emotions, manage
them, communicate clearly and well with others, and master various skills. This requires an internal locus (核心) of
control, which implies self-control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. 37 You’re self-directed and not
reliant on the world to tell you who you are. And you know who you are within all this.
So, being an adult isn’t just holding a job. Being an adult is about having a rooted sense of self while being
capable of identifying and managing your emotions and actions. 38 We are a social species, so this is
important.
While raising an adult is a parent’s job, it’s also our responsibility as a society to ensure that we support schools
that nurture (培养) emotional and identity development. 39
A. It’s also our job to support adults who need help repairing incomplete life cycles.
B. They talk about someone’s inability to support themselves through work.
C. It’s being able to show understanding when communicating with others.
D. In other words, you’re playing the game of life — life isn’t playing you.
E. They teach emotional awareness and management as well as identity.
F. You feel like an 18-year old, especially when playing 80s music.
G. When this stage is denied it creates a sense of insecurity.
Test 2 (2024 北京卷)
If you want to develop maximum credibility (可信性), is it better to be a hedgehog (刺猬) or a fox? According
to Isaiah Berlin, the hedgehog knows one thing very well, and the fox knows a lot of things.
Is there a clear advantage of one style over the other? Hedgehog thinkers tend to answer yes. 35 And
they are usually very credible in doing so. According to Jim Hart, the “hedgehog concept” is one of the factors that
lead companies to greatness. They focus on one thing and do it really well. They figure out what they are good at.
36
The hedgehog concept makes perfect sense for companies.
37 Philip Tate has studied the track records of those folks on the Sunday talk shows who make
predictions about what will happen. He has found that hedgehogs are not only wrong more often than foxes, but that
they are less likely to recognise or admit that they are wrong when events do not match their predictions.
The advantage that. foxes have is that they are more likely to seek out new information from a broader range of
sources, and are comfortable with uncertainty and new information. 38 They try to include it in their
viewpoint rather than to exclude it from their thinking. They also have a clearer estimation of what they know and
don’t know.
So, which is better? The question can be answered in a foxy hedgehog style. 39 The choice between being
a hedgehog or a fox is a false trade-off. The most effective way to go through life is to try to be that rare mixture
known as foxy hedgehog.
A. In other words, there are clear advantages for each.
B. They are more likely to remember people’s mistakes.
C. Hence, they have the advantage of clarity and confidence.
D. But there can be a downside to concentration on one big thing.
E. However, hedgehogs remain open to others’ reactions and inputs.
F. When something is contradictory to their view, they don’t treat it as exceptional.
G. They come down squarely on one side or the other and fully support their position.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions abo
u
where to attend college. Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision. 35
When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they’re often surprised that teaching excellence is not
counted in rankings. 36
Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching
than courses in higher-ranked universities. 37 The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is
surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most
important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes.
Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators
often don’t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册) or funding. 38 Research shows
that the more time instructors spend on teaching, the lower their salary. What is the result？ Many instructors continue
to teach using traditional lectures, which lead to lower success rates.
39 Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with
more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments. In the long term, universities, organisations that rank
schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission.
What should students and their families do? They should give strong consideration to universities where high-
quality teaching is valued, even though the schools may be ranked lower.
A. Higher education has achieved its true potential.
B. Therefore, it’s not highly valued in hiring or promotion.
C. Quality teaching has been an important reputation-building factor.
D. However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching.
E. Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged.
F. They’re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities.
G. In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors.
T4 (2022 北京卷)
Health and fitness help a person live a good and healthy life. Often due to various pressures, we tend to ignore
our health.
35
It is the fitness level of our body that helps us fight these diseases.
36
We need to be fit to have a healthy body. Similarly, if we are healthy we shall naturally be attracted
towards maintaining the fitness of our body. Health is the state of our body at a given time. We may not have any
disease but still have a weak body, which is ready to be targeted by viruses.
37
This does not definitely
mean that we are not healthy. It means the fitness level is not in accordance with our age and the climatic conditions
we live in.
It is important for everyone to devote some time to health and fitness.
38
For instance, we must exercise
daily regardless of our age and working style. There are different levels of exercises for different age groups and we
must do them according to our own health and age.
Additionally, it is important to relax our body. We should have at least six to eight hours of sleep every day. It
helps in improving our immune (免疫) system and protects us against diseases.
39
This, in turn, gives us
new goals of health and fitness.
A. Fitness levels decide the quality of life.
B. Health and fitness are interrelated to each other.
C. It also helps in keeping us calm and relaxes our mind.
D. For instance, we may have a tendency to catch a cold easily.
E. If we keep our body fit, we can enjoy life in a better manner.
F. There are some activities which everyone should do in our life.
G. This makes our body suffer and we will catch other diseases.
T5 (2021 北京卷)
Music has long been considered to be an enjoyable pastime for many people. 35 The mental health
benefits from music can't be argued. Music could also be helping you with many other health problems behind the
scenes.
36 However, for the same reason, music can be very beneficial if one is in pain. By distracting
（分心） the mind from the pain, music, people say, can lower stress and anxiety levels. This, of course, can
lead to less pain.
Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going to bed. 37 While the validity of the
idea is still being assessed, the lowered stress can even be tied back to blood pressure. Similarly, according to
researchers, listening to just 30 minutes of soft music every day may help with healthy blood sugar levels, through
the lowering of stress and anxiety.
When it comes to heart health, there is speculation （推测） that it's not the style of music, but rather the
tempo that makes it so good for your heart health. In one European study, participants listened to music as the
researchers monitored their heart rates and blood pressure. 38 On the other hand, when the music
slowed, the participants' stress and anxiety levels became lower and the effects on heart rates appeared to follow
suit.
39 But there is a whole range of other health issues that turning up the radio could be beneficial for,
which is what makes music so valuable.
A. This feeling can also result in many other health problems.
B. Some experts say that music can be harmful if it is too loud.
C. This idea is a little off-the-wall but still has scientific backing.
D. They say it can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep.
E. The implications of music on overall well-being are really impressive.
F. It is also highly popular due to the individualized effects on stress and anxiety.
G. Interestingly, the more cheerful the music was, the faster their heart rates were.
T6 (2020 北京卷)
Many people think that positive thinking is mostly about keeping one's head in the sand and ignoring daily
problems, trying to look optimistic. In reality it has more to do with the way an individual talks to himself. Self-talk
is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people,
or even the person himself. 46 Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to
form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems more
effectively. They are less exposed to stress caused by external factors. They tend to believe in themselves and in what
they do.
47 People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans (寿命), lower rates of depression and
anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also
contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and hardships. 48 For example, researchers have found that
in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort
of buffer(缓冲作用)against depression and anxiety. Resilient(适应性强的)people who think positively tend to treat
every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth.
Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress. 49
In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the
quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a
problem.
50
Thinking in a positive, self-encouraging way brings about many benefits to one's physical and mental health.
A. It doesn't cause any severe emotional discomfort, either.
B. Negative self-talk damages self-confidence and decreases self-respect.
C. It helps one to remain clear-headed and confident in difficult situations.
D. Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind.
E. As thinking changes, an individual's behaviour and habits change as well.
F. They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking.
G. They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small.
T7 (2019 北京卷)
Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished（完成）in teams. Most people believe the best way to
build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals.
46
Companies spend millions hiring
top business people. Is their money well spent?
47
They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed. For football and
basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the
players are top talent; above that level, the team’s performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn’t
evident in baseball, where additional individual talent keeps improving the team’s performance.
To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team
requires its members to coordinate（协调）their actions.
48
In baseball, the performance of individual
players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high, team performance
will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance
when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he
may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team’s performance. Young
children learning to play team sports are often told, ＂There is no I in TEAM.＂
49
Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as
in a game of tug-of-war（拔河比赛）, whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force.
50
. An A-team may require a balance—not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.
A. It’s not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.
B. Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent
C. The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers’ attention.
D. Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.
E. Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.
F. Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.
G. This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.
T8 (2018 北京卷)
Why Do We Get Angry?
Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make
us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering（触发）events,
personality traits（特征）, and our assessment of situations. 51
Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here
are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. 52
The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and
psychological traits.
Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that
connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. 52 Also,
sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering
event has occurred.
54 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes
ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.
55 However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in
order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day
and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.
A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.
B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.
C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.
D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.
E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.
F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.
G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not
trigger another.
T9 (2017 北京卷)
Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to
sleep, they die within a month.
71
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories.
72
We know that, while awake,
fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing( 加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory
processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in
the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day.
73
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right.
74
The synapses in the mice taken
at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the
connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.
If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s, we find it harder the next
day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses
become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size.
75
“You keep what matters,” Tononi says.
A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.
B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.
C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.
D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.
E. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.
F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.
G. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.
Test 10 (2016 北京卷)
The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward,
the risk seems worth taking.
4 6
Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us.
Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work?
The reason why any of us take any risks al all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at
hunting, fighting, or exploring.
4 7
As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the
next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could
get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a
range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it.
4 8
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases
during your teenage years.
4 9
To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New
experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
5 0
For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a
part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the
shallow end of the pool.
A．It all depends on your character.
B．Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C．Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D．Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E．This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F．However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G．New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.
T11 (2015 北京卷)
This Way to Dreamland Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes
them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening
around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy.
7 1
They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and
missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history.
7 2
Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions? So how can you come
up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool? First, understand that
some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others.
Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.
7 3
And if you want to improve your
chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—
preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.
It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate.
“Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.
7 4
Finally, you never
know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.
7 5
Always remember that
your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.
A．Having interesting things to think about also helps.
B．They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
C．Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relativity , Coke or Post-it notes.
D．At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
E．It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.
F．Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.
G．Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream
zone.

One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much.
36
There’s no
value in delivering any kind of communication, whether written, spoken, formal, or informal, if the
message doesn’t come across clearly. Being clear and brief – while maintaining interest and including
everything your listeners need to know – is a high-level communication skill.
Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively.
●Keep your audience in mind.
Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to
their interests.
3 7
This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information.
●Don’t use ten words when one will do.
Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message
simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand.
3 8
However, they’re hearing it for
the first time. Keep it simple.
●
3 9
If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few
better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to
take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and
meetings to develop their communication skills.
●Consider the best method to deliver your message.
If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written
communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with
questions.
40
Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort.
A. Be patient.
B. Get the audience involved.
C. The best messages are often simple.
D. Speak directly to what matters to them.
E. You may be surprised by what your listeners offer.
F. It will also give them a handy record to refer back to.
G. As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say.

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience.
36 But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you? 37
We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses, The most obvious advantage of
online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. 38 “I think a point that many people lose sight
of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule,” says graduate student Amanda Bindman. Before choosing to study
online, consider whether you’re a self-motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep you
going.
The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you
would do with in person courses. 39 He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It
is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch
your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards.
40 A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem.
Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other
to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group, or schedule in-
person meeting s with your professor to discuss course concepts.
A. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t deadlines.
B. Your motivation should be your main concern.
C. Do you know that online courses are also part of your education?
D. Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online.
E. The chief complain t about online courses is that they lack human interaction.
F. If you take an online course, what can you do to ensure the best possible grade?
G. A survey found that 29 percent of college students registered for online courses.
With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever, why not book your next domestic
vacation on a train? Compared to other alternatives, it’s comfortable and relaxing. Here is some advice on how to
make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible.
Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly.
36
But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance.
Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double-check all
the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted
tickets.
37
Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your
meals.
Bring a blanket. When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip
is an overnight one.
38
In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold.
Arrive early. Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can
be a disaster.
39
Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times.
Have fun.
40

I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They
were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on
where to buy their presents.
31
Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to
achieve something; other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade.
32
And when writing doesn’t
seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it.
Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When children write
for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly.
33
You write “Dear
Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect.
34
Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly
producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal
language most of the time.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done.
35
This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential
client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their language to match their audience.
A. It isn’t that these young people can’t write.
B. But it is always purposeful-or at least it should be.
C. The age of pen-and-paper letter writing may have passed.
D. As a result, each year they received something they wanted.
E. You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them.
F. As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have.
G. But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will cause problems.

You’ve got mail…and it’s a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly
colored picture of Rome’s Colosseum. Or Africa’s Victoria Falls. Or China’s Great Wall. 31
"I often send postcards to family and friends." he says to China Daily, "but you can imagine that after a while,
you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it 32 ” Seeking other like-
minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the Internet is
a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo’s hunch（直觉）paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing.com, a social network that has grown to 575,217
registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. 33 Running the website has almost
turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication
language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in
Chinese, the concept doesn’t work if one doesn’t understand it. 34 So a common language is required and in
postcrossing that’s English since it’s widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to English. 35 That said, we know of many postcrossing
members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing,"
Paulo says.
A. And that’s totally fine.
B. That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it.
C. He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.
D. Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E. On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F. Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G. In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.

You run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water. You get what you need, head to the front, and
choose the line that looks fastest.
You chose wrong. People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the
parking lot.
3 1
It turns out, it’s just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster.
Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum
delay.
3 2
Any small interruption-a price check, a chatty customer-can have downstream effects, holding up
an entire line.
If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the
probability:
3 3
So it's not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.
Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line-
called a serpentine line-and serve each person at the front with the next available register.
3 4
This is what they
do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish
the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.
3 5
It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores can't afford the space or
manpower. So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck.
A．Why does this always seem to happen to you?
B．So why don’t most places encourage serpentine lines?
C．Some of the may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.
D．The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.
E．How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?
F．With three registers, this method is much faster than the traditional approach.
G．But sometimes, as on a Sunday afternoon, the system gets particularly busy.

I experienced years of loneliness as a child.
3 1
His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and
his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by
myself.
A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me
every evening.
3 2
I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public
library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer
pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me.
3 3
My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and
constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my
creations, she told me how creative my designs were.
3 4
I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects
and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends
who wanted to make things with me.
3 5
My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season.
My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses
in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They’re all memories I treasure today.
A. I wasn't alone any longer.
B. I enjoyed reading stories aloud.
C. I was invited to play with another kid.
D. I loved the colorful photographs in the books.
E. Another habit I formed early was being outdoors.
F. Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things.
G. My older brother couldn’t be bothered to play with me.

Let’s take a minute to think about the water we use. The human body is 60% water andwe need to drink lots of
water to be healthy. When we are thirsty we just go to the kitchenand fill a glass with clean water.
31
For example, farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make theplants grow. When we turn
on a light or switch on a TV or a computer we use energy andwe need water to produce this energy.
The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want, but this is not the case for many
people around the world. 32 That’s around one in 10 people in the world. If we drink dirty water, we can catch
diseases from the bacteria and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from diarrhoea (腹泻) from dirty
water. That’s around 1,400 children every day! Also, in some countries children walk many kilometres every day to
get water.
3 3 Therefore, they don’t have time to learn how to read or write and don’t get an education.
3 4 On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of
dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. At one school in the UK,
children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water.
3 5 People give them money to do this
and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.
A. We use water indirectly too.
B. Every system in our body depends on water to function.
C. It is to inspire people to learn more about water-related problems.
D. If children walk many hours a day to get water, they can’t go to school.
E. Did you know that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink?
F. In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water.
G. In this way, they know how it feels to walk a long distance carrying heavy bottles.

Rock music consists of many different styles. Even though there is a common spirit among all music groups,
they make very different music.
3 1
At that time the Beatles entered the world of music from Liverpool.
After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC, the Beatles quickly became famous in Britain with
nationwide tours. By mid-1963, the Beatles had been extremely popular in England.
3 2
They held large
concerts and performed at clubs. They became the hottest thing on the pop music scene in England. They began as a
modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show business legends(传说). John Lennon and Paul
McCartney were named composers of the year.
3 3
They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music. Beatlemania hit New
York on February 7, 1964. Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to greet them.
3 4
The concert was broadcast
live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that time. The Beatles were described
as a British invasion(入侵) by local and nationwide newspapers at that time. Their victory in America was still
remembered as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll. Thanks to the Beatles, a lot of opportunities were
opened up to new faces on the market.
3 5
A．They decided on a tour to the United States in 1964.
B．Even their hairstyles became major trends at that time.
C．Rock music developed in the 1950s and the early 1960s.
D．However, their songs changed the lives of generations to come.
E．Many rock bands were able to follow in the footsteps of the Beatles.
F．They appeared in the films A Hard Day's Night (1964) and Help！(1965).
G．They performed their first concert in America at CBS television’s 53rd street studio.

Some people are so rude. Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you?” Who leaves a voice
mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on the Internet?
3 1
Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little courtesies(礼节). But many social norms(规范) just
don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.
Take the thank-you note. Daniel Post Senning, a coauthor of Emily Post’s Etiquette，asked, “At what point does
showing appreciation outweigh the cost?”
3 2
Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages. In texts, you don’t have to declare
who you are or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text. The worst are those who leave a voice mail and then
send an e-mail message to tell you they left a voice mail.
This isn’t the first time technology has changed our manners,
3 3
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor,
suggested that people say, " Ahoy! "Finally, hello won out, and the victory sped up the greeting's use in face-to-face
communications.
In the age of the smart phone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast, a
business’s phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, or an office, which can be easily found on a digital
map.
3 4
And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.
How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people,especially older ones,
appreciate a thank-you message.
3 5
In traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern
societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-
wasting forms of communication do.
A．Then there is voice mail.
B．Others, like me, want no reply.
C．But people still ask these things.
D．Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?
E. Won't new technology bring about changes in our daily life?
F. Face-to-face communication makes comprehension much easier.
G. When the telephone was invented, people didn't know how to greet a caller.

How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews
The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview
people on the sport.
3 1
But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.
● When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic
and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental
problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?”
3 2
● Hit the streets with confidence.
3 3
Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if
you could share your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you. Move on to the
next person if someone tells you she is not interested. Don’t get discouraged.
●
3 4
Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the
answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting
a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won’t be able to use it. A safe number of
interviews to conduct is about six to ten.
35
● If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, don’t leave work
without them.
A. Limit your time.
B. As you approach people, be polite.
C. If you don’t own a camera, you can buy one.
D. For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.
E. To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.
F. That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.
G. With a question like this, you will get more than a “Yes” or “No” reply.

How to Remember What You Read
Reading is important. But the next step is making sure that you remember what you've read!
3 1
you may
have just read the text. But the ideas, concepts and images（形象）may fly right out of your head. Here are a few
tricks for remembering what you read.
●
3 2
If the plot, characters, or word usage is confusing for you, you likely won't be able to remember what you read.
It's a bit like reading a foreign language. If you don't understand what you're reading, how would you remember it?
But there are a few things you can do... Use a dictionary; look up the difficult words.
● Are you connected?
Does a character remind you of a friend? Does the setting make you want to visit the place? Does the book
inspire you, and make you want to read more? With some books, you may feel a connection right away.
3 3
How willing are you to make the connections happen?
● Read it; hear it; be it!
Read the lines. Then, speak them out loud. And, put some character into the words. When he was writing his
novels, Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters. He'd make faces in the mirror, and change his voice
for each character.
3 4
● How often do you read?
If you read frequently, you'll likely have an easier time with remembering what you’re reading and what you've
read.
3 5
As you make reading a regular part of your life, you'll make more connections, stay more focused
and understand the text better. You’ll learn to enjoy literature- as you remember what you read!
A. Are you confused?
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. What's your motivation?
D. Memory is sometimes a tricky thing.
E. Marking helps you remember what you read.
F. But other books require a bit more work on your part.
G. You can do the same thing when you are reading the text!
