The Art of Singing

When Alana first saw the musical Annie, she knew she wanted to try out for the lead role at sometime in her life. She went home and sang the show tune (曲目) of Annie. She recorded her singing and listened back to it, but it didn’t sound as good as she thought.

“Your voice is like an instrument. You need to learn how to use it,” her mother suggested.

So Alana joined a band and a singing club. She also learned how to read sheet music and other singing skills.

Days later, Alana went to the library and took out some CDs of female artists to listen to. She ran through the female artists and tried very hard to emulate (模仿) their singing. First, Alana put on Aretha Franklin, who is know as the Queen of Soul. Then, she put on Billie Holiday. She learned to relax her neck and shoulders and breathed in from above her belly. Alana found that each singer had their own way of forming the notes. She was amazed to see that the human voice could stretch (伸展) in so many different ways. As Alana experimented with various ways of singing, she got more comfortable with what her own voice naturally sounded like.

Around this time, it was announced that her school would produce their own performance of Annie. Alana wanted the lead!

When she tried out for Annie, she sang very powerfully. “The sun’ll come out.. tomorrow!” she belted out. “You’re only... a dayyy....a... wayyyyy!”

Her music teacher applauded. “Alana, you’ve been working hard to become a better singer. Congratulations! You’ve got the lead role! You’re our new Annie!”

Alana’s dream came true But she knew her dream didn’t just happen because she wished and hoped it would. She’d been taking lessons and working hard. She walked home whistling (用口哨吹奏) a happy little song.

22. Why did Alana practice singing the show tune of Annie?

A. Because her mother encouraged her to join a band.

B. Because she wanted to try out for the role of Annie.

C. Because Alana would teach her classmates to sing it.

D. Because it was a song from her favorite musical Annie.

23. After listening and emulating some artists’ singing, Alana ________.

A. helped her class win a prize B. learned to use her voice better

C was able to write her own songs D. mastered different ways of singing

24. What can we learn from the story?

A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Love me, love my dog.

C. Hard work does pay off. D. Two heads are better than one.

C

Everyone wants to be well-liked. As humans, we are born with the need to be valued and liked by others. Being part of a group has been necessary in a lot of ways. Connection is a basic human need.

Many people feel as though they have to be a certain way to be well-liked. They think others will like them more if they put their best selves forward, don’t make mistakes, and always know the right thing to say. However, some surprising science may be putting all this in question.

The Pratfall Effect

It turns out that people who never make mistakes are actually less likeable. According to an experiment by Elliot Aronson in the 1960s, people who made a small blunder, such as dropping coffee over their shirt, were considered more likeable than those who didn’t. This was only true for people who were considered competent (有能力的) in the first place, though. This phenomenon (现象) was termed the Pratfall Effect.

The Pratfall Effect shows that it’s not only okay to make mistakes, but it can actually be helpful to us. Vulnerability (weakness) is endearing (讨人喜欢的). It helps us form connections with others. When we understand where someone is coming from an connection with them, we develop a deep emotional bond and like them more.

Apply this to your own life

You can use this information to your advantage. Firstly, it’s important to know likeability depends on context. What someone finds endearing in one situation may not work in another, and different people might find different qualities more likeable. Sometimes the things we dislike the most about ourselves are the most endearing to others. The same can be true for the opposite. Just be your true self and people will find what they love most about you.

Secondly, vulnerability is a good thing. Sharing the most inner, real parts of yourselves can create meaningful connections. Pretending (假装) to be perfect is not something that people find endearing. But opening up is something that people can easily connect with.

Likeability is not as straightforward as you might think. What you think makes you more likeable might actually make you less likeable. Stop pretending you never make mistakes. It’s the best path to a true and meaningful human connection.

25. What can we learn from the Pratfall Effect?

A. Life experience can be enriched by making mistakes.

B. The fear of making mistakes makes people more careful.

C. People who make small mistakes may turn out to be more likeable.

D. The ability to learn from mistakes makes a person more competent.

26. What is the writer’s opinion on vulnerability?

A. It leads us to the right way to be perfect.

B. It works as a smart way to express our opinions.

C. It makes other people feel better about themselves.

D. It helps us form meaningful connections with others.

27. The writer suggests that we should stay true to ourselves because ________.

A. likeability varies in different cases B. no one can be perfect

C. we should accept and like who we are D. it’s hard to pretend all the time

28. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. A Secret to Improving Your Quality of Life

B. A Key to Being Likeable When Making Mistakes

C. The Possible Benefits of Building up Connections

D. The Surprising Science Behind Being Well-liked

D

Imagine you are ordering for your roommates. You remember Laura prefers banana ice cream to chocolate. It could be a fact for it was proved by observing her behavior. However, the ice cream preference could be an opinion that shows her personal choice. While it’s nice to think the world is clearly divided into matters of fact and matters of opinion, it’s not always the case.

What we think are facts — those things we think are true — can end up being wrong. Calling something a fact is not a promise of infallibility (无误). The famous writer, Asimov expressed this in his article The Relativity of Wrong. For him, the person who thinks the Earth is flat is wrong, and so is the person who thinks the Earth is a sphere. A fact is usually used to represent the best knowledge we have at a certain time.

Then again, calling something an opinion doesn't mean an escape to the fairyland of wishful thinking. If we think of an opinion as one person’s view on a subject, then many opinions can be solid. For example, it’s my opinion that science provides us with a powerful tool to help understand our place in the universe. It’s not a fact that science does so, but it works for me.

But we can be much clearer in our meaning if we divide things into matters of fact and matters of opinion. Matters of fact are limited to empirical statements (实证表达), such as what the boiling point of water is. Matters of opinion are non-empirical statements, which include questions of value and of personal preference such as whether it's better to eat more vegetables than meat.

Matters of opinion can be informed by matters of fact (for example, finding out that vegetables are rich in vitamins can change my food preference), but finally they are not answered by matters of fact (why does it matter to me that vegetables are rich in vitamins?)

Opinions are not just pale shadows (影子) of facts. They are judgements and conclusions. They can be the result of careful consideration in areas for which empirical research is not enough or ill-suited.

Facts and opinions shouldn’t be put in opposition to each other, as they can both play a necessary role in our decision-making. But that’s just my opinion, not a fact.

29. The writer mentions Asimov’s article in Paragraph 2 to show ________.

A. different opinions result in heated arguments

B. repeating facts can make others agree with us

C. what we take as facts may turn out to be wrong

D. it is difficult to predict how facts change over time

30. The word “informed” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.

A. influenced B. questioned C. replaced D. proved

31. The writer probably agrees that ________.

A. opinions are more important than facts

B. facts and opinions are not against each other

C. opinions can be the results of wishful thinking

D. facts play an important role in scientific research

Science shows that there is a right way to build habits that last. Here are some tips to make exercise one of them.

Start small

A goal of exercising for 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week may sound good. But how likely are you to follow through? The bigger your goal is, the more likely you are to fail and give up. It’s better to start with easy exercise goals you know you can achieve because you’ll build self-confidence when you meet them. Then you can move on to bigger goals.

Use triggers

Triggers are simply reminders — activities, places, or objects — that kick of an automatic (自动的) reaction. They help you start exercising without thinking or making decisions. For example, the alarm clock goes off and you’re out of the door for your walk. You spot your sports shoes right by the bed and you’re up and running. Find ways to build triggers into your day to make exercise a no-brainer.

Reward (奖励) yourself

People who often exercise tend to do so because of the rewards it brings to their lives, such as more energy, better sleep and a greater sense of happiness. However, these can be long-term rewards. When you’re starting an exercise program, it’s important to give yourself immediate rewards if you successfully complete a workout. Choose something you look forward to, but don’t allow yourself to do it until after exercise. It can be something as simple as having a hot bath or a favorite cup of coffee.

Choose exercise that makes you feel happy and confident

If your workout is unpleasant or makes you feel bad or unhappy, you’re unlikely to stick with it. Don’t choose exercise like running or lifting weights at the gym just because you think that’s what you should do. Instead, pick activities that fit your lifestyle, abilities and taste.
