When I began t learn Chinese, I pursued what many arund me saw as an uncnventinal strategy. Instead f painstakingly writing ut characters and practising sentence rder, I set ut t make as much f a fl f myself as pssible. I spke my mistake-ridden Chinese with friends, annyed teachers with bad jkes and punished my ears with native music and pdcasts. It wasn't perfect, but it was enugh t interview peple and read shrt news articles in just a year.
Organizatinal psychlgist Adam Grant neatly sums up this methd alngside ther systems and qualities in his new bk. “Being a creature f discmfrt,” Grant writes, “can unlck hidden ptential t d greater things than their backgrund r experience might suggest.” This is essential fr mre than learning a skill r a language; this is what he says takes individuals t the pinnacle (顶峰) f their industry.
Grant writes that universities and cmpanies shuld take mre steps t recgnize ptential, and where an individual has vercme difficulties like grwing up in pverty. This quantifying the unquantifiable culd be dne, he suggests, by lking at the rate f change f a student's grades as well as the final scre.
The example f Mexican-American Jse Hernandez cmes t mind. The astrnaut attained his dream f jining NASA after being rejected cuntless times by a system that did nt take int accunt his different experiences wrking as a farm laburer when he was yung and vercming struggles.
Systems, therefre, need t change t find the best peple. This is als a key message in the bk: Imprve the pipelines s that better peple cme up in the future.

Jane Jacbs spent her wrking life advancing a distinct visin f the city — in particular fcusing n what makes a successful urban cmmunity. At the heart f her visin is the idea that urban life shuld be an energetic and rich affair, whereby peple are able t interact with ne anther in dense (稠密) and exciting urban envirnments. She prefers disrder t rder, walking t driving, and diversity t unifrmity.
Fr Jacbs, urban cmmunities are rganic beings that shuld be left t grw and change by themselves and nt be subject t the grand plans f s-called experts and fficials. The best judges f hw a city shuld be — and hw it shuld develp — are the lcal residents themselves. Jacbs argues that urban cmmunities are best placed t understand hw their city functins, because city life is created and sustained thrugh their varius interactins.
Jacbs ntes that the built frm f a city is crucial t the life f an urban cmmunity, especially the sidewalks. The streets in which peple live shuld be a tight pattern f crssed sidewalks, which allw peple t meet, talk, and get t knw ne anther. Such a cmplex but ultimately enriching set f encunters helps individuals knw their neighburs and neighburhd better.
Diversity and mixed-use f space are als, fr Jacbs, key elements f this urban frm. The cmmercial, business, and residential elements f a city shuld nt be separated ut but instead be side by side, t allw fr greater integratin f peple. There shuld als be a diversity f ld and new buildings, and peple's interactins shuld determine hw buildings get used and reused.
Finally, urban cmmunities grw better in places where a critical mass f peple live, wrk, and interact. Such high-density spaces are, she feels, engines f creativity and vitality. They are als safe places t be, because the higher density means that there are mre “eyes n the street”: shpkeepers and lcals wh knw their area and maintain a clse watch ver the neighburhd.
8. What des Jacbs find mst imprtant fr a successful urban cmmunity?
A. Efficient public transprt.B. Strng interactin between peple.
C. Unifrm style f buildings.D. A cmparatively large ppulatin.
9. Wh des Jacbs think shuld make decisins n urban develpment?
A. Lcal residents.B. Gvernment fficials.
C. City planners.D. Cnstructin wrkers.
10. Hw des Jacbs suggest sidewalks be built?
A. Lined with plants.B. Painted with clear signs.
C. Tightly cnnected.D. Cnvenient fr the ld.
11. Accrding t Jacbs, the “eyes n the street” bring a sense f _______.
A. prideB. cmfrtC. securityD. urgency
D
Want t learn a new language r get A’s in cllege exams? Previus studies have shwn that exercise can help stimulate the areas f the brain that cnvert (转换) new infrmatin int lng-term memry. A new study has taken this infrmatin ne step further and fund the best time when exercise can help maximize learning.
Building upn past research that fund exercise releases bichemicals that imprve mental functin, scientists at Radbud University and the University f Edinburgh cnducted a study t determine when exercise was mst beneficial t learning.
Participants — 72 healthy male and female adults — were first asked t perfrm a cmputer test that challenged their visual and spatial learning. After the test, all f the subjects watched nature dcumentaries, but tw-thirds f them als exercised. Half f the exercisers did circuit training n an exercise bike fr 35 minutes immediately after the test. The ther half did the same exercise but nt until fur hurs after they had been tested.
Tw days later, all f the participants returned t the lab fr a recall test, and they were cnnected t MRI (磁共振成像) machines t assess their brain activity. The participants wh exercised fur hurs after taking the cmputer test were able t recall what they had learned mst accurately. Their brainwaves als shwed mre cnsistent levels f activity, indicating that their brains were less taxed t remember what they had learned.
Accrding t this research, the best time t exercise t imprve learning is fur hurs after studying. But why? That’s ne questin the researchers have yet t answer. Anther questin left unanswered is the level f exercise that might best imprve learning. I’ve run enugh marathns t prve the fact that my brain is anything but sharp during r after a tugh wrkut. But the researchers nted that light wrkuts might nt give the brain enugh f a bichemical bst t imprve learning.
12. What did the new study aim t explre?
A. When exercise is best fr learning.B. What bichemicals are gd fr health.
C. Hw brainwaves shuld be measured.D. Which area f the brain is the mst active.
13. What were all the participants asked t d during the experiment?
A. Train n bicycles.B. D mathematics exercises.
C. Play cmputer games.D. Watch films abut nature.
14. Why did the participants return t the lab tw days later?
A. T d a medical examinatin.B. T have their memry tested.
C. T get their wrkuts recrded.D. T finish their previus tasks.
15. What might the authr’s marathn running prve?
A. The findings f the study are reliable.B. Lng-distance runners are ften smart.
C. Studies n the marathn are nt enugh.D. Hard exercise may nt sharpen the brain.
