Develping Children’s Persistence(毅力)
One f the mst imprtant lessns a child can learn is nt t give up when faced with a challenging situatin, but instead t cntinue and vercme it.
Inventin educatin
As the imprtance f STEM (science, technlgy, engineering and mathematics) subjects cntinues t grw due t the wrld’s increasing cmplexity, inventin educatin has becme a ppular way fr children t explre these fields in pleasant ways.
At Camp Inventin, there are n “right” r “wrng” ways t cmplete each day’s set f challenges and activities. Thse wh take part in it are able t seek slutins that naturally interest them.

Persistence is a very imprtant part f the Innvatin Mindset because it teaches children t recver frm setbacks and vercme difficulties t reach their gals. Because ur prgrammes develp determinatin thrugh a “create, test and retest” way f learning, students build the strength and cnfidence t take n any challenges that stand in their way.

In tday’s wrld f fast-paced games and shrt vides, peple are spending less and less time n things. Fr example, research has shwn that the average visitr spends just 15 secnds n a website befre mving n t ther things. But the Internet is a huge and busy place, with millins f sites t chse frm. Yu might expect peple t slw dwn a bit mre when they’re in museums full f great wrks f art. But yu’d be wrng.
Several studies have shwn that the amunt f time fr peple t spend lking at a piece f art is ten secnds. Many peple may spend mre time, but nt much mre — the average is abut 28 secnds. At the Tate Mdern Museum in Lndn, it’s even wrse. Peple there spend an average f just eight secnds n each artwrk. And in that shrt perid f time, the visitrs are als managing t d anther imprtant thing — take selfies!
In recent years museums have been wrking t change this behavir. Tday, ver 170 museums arund the wrld are celebrating “Slw Art Day”. They are asking their visitrs t spend at least 5-10 minutes lking at just ne wrk f art. Slw Art supprters believe that when visitrs spend mre time lking at and studying the wrk f art, they admire it mre. Studying a wrk f art fr mre time can als help peple get a better understanding f the artist’s ideas and what the artist went thrugh t create the wrk.
Mst f the museums taking part in Slw Art Day are chsing just a few wrks fr their visitrs t see. Sme f the museums are ffering chances fr visitrs t talk abut the artwrks and share their ideas.
Generally speaking, peple spend ______________ n each piece f art in a museum.

C. Admiring each artwrk thrughly.D. Celebrating “Slw Art Day” widely.
26. Why is “Slw Art Day” created?
A. T stp visitrs frm taking selfies inside
B. T attract mre peple t visit the museums
C. T make peple spend mre time n each artwrk
D. T give visitrs an pprtunity t relax themselves
27. Which f the fllwing can be the best title f this passage?

Curisity is a familiar feeling amng peple. But as sn as we examine that feeling, curisity reveals itself t be a cmplex emtin indeed. Just ask yurself: is curisity a psitive feeling r a negative feeling? Is it mre like frustratin r mre like hpe? Is it a painful reminder f what we dn’t (yet) knw, r an exciting signal twards what we might sn discver?
Actually, curisity can be all f these things. But the bject f curisity’s desire is infrmatin. Of curse, nt all feelings f curisity are the same. Curisity can be mre r less pleasurable, mre r less aggravating. S what accunts fr this variatin?
Once we recgnize that curisity has many faces, we can cnsider what affects the nature f ur experience in a given case. The paper by Nrdewier des just this fr the dimensin f time. The researchers ask: is the experience f curisity mre likely t be psitive when we expect that ur curisity will be satisfied sner rather than later?
T answer this questin, the researchers cnducted three studies with ver 200 participants. In each study, the researchers first stimulated a state f curisity by telling peple that they wuld later watch a vide that cntained “smething with different shades f brwn.” Half the peple were tld they wuld watch the vide after a shrt delay f nly ne minute, and half were tld that there wuld first be a 30-minute delay during which they wuld cmplete ther tasks.
The key finding was that while bth grups reprted equal levels f curisity, the curisity was accmpanied by mre negative feelings fr thse participants facing a lng versus a shrt delay. The finding shed light n the tw faces f curisity. When ur curisity will nt be satisfied anytime sn, we fcus n nt knwing, n the infrmatin gap itself, which is largely sick. But when ur curisity is abut t be satisfied, we fcus n almst knwing, r the expected settlement, which is a mre psitive experience. On this view, the tw faces f curisity reflect different mixtures f nt knwing versus almst knwing.
28. Why d peple have curisity?
A. T get pleasure.B. T get infrmatin.
C. T becme psitive.D. T becme hpeful.
29. What des the underlined wrd “aggravating” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Jyful.B. Exciting.C. Unpleasant.D. Frightening.
30. Why did researchers cnduct the experiment?
A. T satisfy the curisity f the public.
B. T prve their previus assumptins.
C. T recgnize the different faces f curisity.
D. T study hw time affects curisity experience.
31.What is the main idea f the text?
A. Curisity is a cmmn emtin.
B. Curisity is a psitive mtivatr.
C. Curisity can be satisfied by cmpleting tasks.
D. Curisity can be a psitive r negative feeling.
D
N ne likes interruptin. We are brn t seek balance and rder. N matter what it is that yu are ding, being interrupted invlves a frceful stp midway and then having t re-enter yur previus state, smetimes with great difficulty.
Ppular belief has it that interruptin breaks the flw f yur thinking and affects prductivity negatively, and s it is advisable that yu have an uninterrupted sessin f intensive wrk befre yur next break.
Hwever, a Russian psychlgist, Bluma Zeigarnik, might tell yu therwise.
The cnnectin between interruptin and memry came t her attentin when she was dining in a restaurant. She nticed hw the waitresses had an amazing memry f the detailed rders yet t be paid fr, but scarce memry f the rders that were already cmpleted.
Back in her labratry, she cnducted studies in which subjects were required t cmplete varius puzzles. Sme f the subjects were interrupted during the tasks. All the subjects were then asked t describe what tasks they had dne. It turns ut that adults remembered the interrupted tasks 90% better than the cmpleted tasks, and that children were even mre likely t recall the uncmpleted tasks. In ther wrds, uncmpleted tasks will stay n yur mind until yu finish them!
In cmparisn t tasks that were already finished and nes that we haven’t even started, half-dne prjects are given the pririty in the mental t-d list ur brains sketch ut fr us. Zeigarnik described this finding in her dctral thesis (论文) in the late 1920s, which was later called Zeigarnik effect.
One pssible explanatin is that with interrupted tasks, we are desperate fr their clsure t reclaim a sense f balance. Finishing them als means that we can finally clear up the mental backlg (积压的工作) and give the space t mre upcming tasks.
Zeigarnik’s effect can be fund everywhere, especially used in media and advertising. Have yu ever wndered why cliffhangers wrk s well r why yu just can’t get yurself t stp watching that series n Netflix?
Ernest Hemingway nce said abut writing a nvel, “It is the wait until the next day that is hard t get thrugh.” S next time, when yu are interrupted, appreciate it and take advantage f it t prmte yur prductivity.
32. What is a cmmn practice t finish a task?
A. Wrking in a fcused perid.B. Wrking with a stp midway.
C. Wrking with ccasinal breaks.D. Wrking in an interrupted sessin.
33. What is the finding f the Zeigarnik’s experiment?
A. Interruptin recalls details.B. Interruptin betters memry.
C. Interruptin disturbs balance.D. Interruptin reduces prductivity.
34. Which f the fllwing is an example f the applicatin f Zeigarnik’s effect?
A. TV series. B. Talk shws. C. Online news. D. Fashin shws.
35. What is the pssible reasn behind Zeigarnik’s effect?
A. The upcming tasks.B. The utside pressure.
C. The physical backlg.D. The desire fr balance.

Have yu ever heard smene say, “breakfast is the mst imprtant meal f the day”, r give yu advice abut why it’s vital t start the day with a healthy breakfast? 36 Is it really that imprtant? In a sense, it really matters.
Energy restratin
The wrd “breakfast” cmes frm “breaking the fast” — the idea f ending the perid in which we didn’t eat during the night. The regeneratin prcess that takes place while we sleep cnsumes sme f ur natural fd reserves t heal ur bdies. 37 S, in that way, a healthy breakfast makes sense.
Weight management
There are als many ften-quted studies which seem t link a state f besity with skipping breakfast. 38 In a US study, 50,000 peple were mnitred ver seven years, and thse wh ate a healthy breakfast were fund t have a lwer BMI, which seems t suggest that breakfast may indeed help peple maintain a healthy weight.
Better brain functin
39 Breakfast is als assciated with imprved brain functin, including cncentratin and language. A review f 54 studies fund that eating breakfast can imprve memry, thugh the effects n ther brain functins were incnclusive. Hwever, ne f the researchers says there is reasnable evidence that breakfast des imprve cncentratin.
What’s mst imprtant is what we eat fr breakfast. High-prtein breakfasts have been fund particularly effective in reducing fd cravings and cnsumptin later in the day. Hwever, studies fund that there is n agreement n what type f breakfast is healthier. 40
Breakfast helps us refill the exhausted stres.
Weight-lss is likely t cause them health prblems.
Breakfast has been fund t affect mre than just weight.
Breakfast types dn’t matter as much as simply eating smething.
Thus, it is suggested that a healthy breakfast can regulate and lse weight.
Many peple are recmmended t manage their weight by skipping meals.
It seems that this feast, fr many f us, is necessary fr ur day t start well.

Develping Children’s Persistence(毅力)
One f the mst imprtant lessns a child can learn is nt t give up when faced with a challenging situatin, but instead t cntinue and vercme it.
Inventin educatin
As the imprtance f STEM (science, technlgy, engineering and mathematics) subjects cntinues t grw due t the wrld’s increasing cmplexity, inventin educatin has becme a ppular way fr children t explre these fields in pleasant ways.
At Camp Inventin, there are n “right” r “wrng” ways t cmplete each day’s set f challenges and activities. Thse wh take part in it are able t seek slutins that naturally interest them.

The Innvatin Mindset
Wrking with ur natinal innvatrs whse discveries cntinue t imprve the lives f peple everywhere, we have recgnized nine basic skills that can benefit children thrughut their lives. We call this the Innvatin Mindset, and it influences the develpment f all ur educatin prgrammes.
Persistence is a very imprtant part f the Innvatin Mindset because it teaches children t recver frm setbacks and vercme difficulties t reach their gals. Because ur prgrammes develp determinatin thrugh a “create, test and retest” way f learning, students build the strength and cnfidence t take n any challenges that stand in their way.

In tday’s wrld f fast-paced games and shrt vides, peple are spending less and less time n things. Fr example, research has shwn that the average visitr spends just 15 secnds n a website befre mving n t ther things. But the Internet is a huge and busy place, with millins f sites t chse frm. Yu might expect peple t slw dwn a bit mre when they’re in museums full f great wrks f art. But yu’d be wrng.
Several studies have shwn that the amunt f time fr peple t spend lking at a piece f art is ten secnds. Many peple may spend mre time, but nt much mre — the average is abut 28 secnds. At the Tate Mdern Museum in Lndn, it’s even wrse. Peple there spend an average f just eight secnds n each artwrk. And in that shrt perid f time, the visitrs are als managing t d anther imprtant thing — take selfies!
In recent years museums have been wrking t change this behavir. Tday, ver 170 museums arund the wrld are celebrating “Slw Art Day”. They are asking their visitrs t spend at least 5-10 minutes lking at just ne wrk f art. Slw Art supprters believe that when visitrs spend mre time lking at and studying the wrk f art, they admire it mre. Studying a wrk f art fr mre time can als help peple get a better understanding f the artist’s ideas and what the artist went thrugh t create the wrk.
Mst f the museums taking part in Slw Art Day are chsing just a few wrks fr their visitrs t see. Sme f the museums are ffering chances fr visitrs t talk abut the artwrks and share their ideas.

Curisity is a familiar feeling amng peple. But as sn as we examine that feeling, curisity reveals itself t be a cmplex emtin indeed. Just ask yurself: is curisity a psitive feeling r a negative feeling? Is it mre like frustratin r mre like hpe? Is it a painful reminder f what we dn’t (yet) knw, r an exciting signal twards what we might sn discver?
Actually, curisity can be all f these things. But the bject f curisity’s desire is infrmatin. Of curse, nt all feelings f curisity are the same. Curisity can be mre r less pleasurable, mre r less aggravating. S what accunts fr this variatin?
Once we recgnize that curisity has many faces, we can cnsider what affects the nature f ur experience in a given case. The paper by Nrdewier des just this fr the dimensin f time. The researchers ask: is the experience f curisity mre likely t be psitive when we expect that ur curisity will be satisfied sner rather than later?
T answer this questin, the researchers cnducted three studies with ver 200 participants. In each study, the researchers first stimulated a state f curisity by telling peple that they wuld later watch a vide that cntained “smething with different shades f brwn.” Half the peple were tld they wuld watch the vide after a shrt delay f nly ne minute, and half were tld that there wuld first be a 30-minute delay during which they wuld cmplete ther tasks.
The key finding was that while bth grups reprted equal levels f curisity, the curisity was accmpanied by mre negative feelings fr thse participants facing a lng versus a shrt delay. The finding shed light n the tw faces f curisity. When ur curisity will nt be satisfied anytime sn, we fcus n nt knwing, n the infrmatin gap itself, which is largely sick. But when ur curisity is abut t be satisfied, we fcus n almst knwing, r the expected settlement, which is a mre psitive experience. On this view, the tw faces f curisity reflect different mixtures f nt knwing versus almst knwing.
28. Why d peple have curisity?
A. T get pleasure.B. T get infrmatin.
C. T becme psitive.D. T becme hpeful.
29. What des the underlined wrd “aggravating” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Jyful.B. Exciting.C. Unpleasant.D. Frightening.
30. Why did researchers cnduct the experiment?
A. T satisfy the curisity f the public.
B. T prve their previus assumptins.
C. T recgnize the different faces f curisity.
D. T study hw time affects curisity experience.
31.What is the main idea f the text?
A. Curisity is a cmmn emtin.
B. Curisity is a psitive mtivatr.
C. Curisity can be satisfied by cmpleting tasks.
D. Curisity can be a psitive r negative feeling.

N ne likes interruptin. We are brn t seek balance and rder. N matter what it is that yu are ding, being interrupted invlves a frceful stp midway and then having t re-enter yur previus state, smetimes with great difficulty.
Ppular belief has it that interruptin breaks the flw f yur thinking and affects prductivity negatively, and s it is advisable that yu have an uninterrupted sessin f intensive wrk befre yur next break.
Hwever, a Russian psychlgist, Bluma Zeigarnik, might tell yu therwise.
The cnnectin between interruptin and memry came t her attentin when she was dining in a restaurant. She nticed hw the waitresses had an amazing memry f the detailed rders yet t be paid fr, but scarce memry f the rders that were already cmpleted.
Back in her labratry, she cnducted studies in which subjects were required t cmplete varius puzzles. Sme f the subjects were interrupted during the tasks. All the subjects were then asked t describe what tasks they had dne. It turns ut that adults remembered the interrupted tasks 90% better than the cmpleted tasks, and that children were even mre likely t recall the uncmpleted tasks. In ther wrds, uncmpleted tasks will stay n yur mind until yu finish them!
In cmparisn t tasks that were already finished and nes that we haven’t even started, half-dne prjects are given the pririty in the mental t-d list ur brains sketch ut fr us. Zeigarnik described this finding in her dctral thesis (论文) in the late 1920s, which was later called Zeigarnik effect.
One pssible explanatin is that with interrupted tasks, we are desperate fr their clsure t reclaim a sense f balance. Finishing them als means that we can finally clear up the mental backlg (积压的工作) and give the space t mre upcming tasks.
Zeigarnik’s effect can be fund everywhere, especially used in media and advertising. Have yu ever wndered why cliffhangers wrk s well r why yu just can’t get yurself t stp watching that series n Netflix?
Ernest Hemingway nce said abut writing a nvel, “It is the wait until the next day that is hard t get thrugh.” S next time, when yu are interrupted, appreciate it and take advantage f it t prmte yur prductivity.
32. What is a cmmn practice t finish a task?
A. Wrking in a fcused perid.B. Wrking with a stp midway.
C. Wrking with ccasinal breaks.D. Wrking in an interrupted sessin.
33. What is the finding f the Zeigarnik’s experiment?
A. Interruptin recalls details.B. Interruptin betters memry.
C. Interruptin disturbs balance.D. Interruptin reduces prductivity.
34. Which f the fllwing is an example f the applicatin f Zeigarnik’s effect?
A. TV series. B. Talk shws. C. Online news. D. Fashin shws.
35. What is the pssible reasn behind Zeigarnik’s effect?
A. The upcming tasks.B. The utside pressure.
C. The physical backlg.D. The desire fr balance.

Have yu ever heard smene say, “breakfast is the mst imprtant meal f the day”, r give yu advice abut why it’s vital t start the day with a healthy breakfast? 36 Is it really that imprtant? In a sense, it really matters.
Energy restratin
The wrd “breakfast” cmes frm “breaking the fast” — the idea f ending the perid in which we didn’t eat during the night. The regeneratin prcess that takes place while we sleep cnsumes sme f ur natural fd reserves t heal ur bdies. 37 S, in that way, a healthy breakfast makes sense.
Weight management
There are als many ften-quted studies which seem t link a state f besity with skipping breakfast. 38 In a US study, 50,000 peple were mnitred ver seven years, and thse wh ate a healthy breakfast were fund t have a lwer BMI, which seems t suggest that breakfast may indeed help peple maintain a healthy weight.
Better brain functin
39 Breakfast is als assciated with imprved brain functin, including cncentratin and language. A review f 54 studies fund that eating breakfast can imprve memry, thugh the effects n ther brain functins were incnclusive. Hwever, ne f the researchers says there is reasnable evidence that breakfast des imprve cncentratin.
What’s mst imprtant is what we eat fr breakfast. High-prtein breakfasts have been fund particularly effective in reducing fd cravings and cnsumptin later in the day. Hwever, studies fund that there is n agreement n what type f breakfast is healthier. 40
Breakfast helps us refill the exhausted stres.
Weight-lss is likely t cause them health prblems.
Breakfast has been fund t affect mre than just weight.
Breakfast types dn’t matter as much as simply eating smething.
Thus, it is suggested that a healthy breakfast can regulate and lse weight.
Many peple are recmmended t manage their weight by skipping meals.
It seems that this feast, fr many f us, is necessary fr ur day t start well.
