The incident tk place, believe it r nt, n the playgrund. I was smething f a ftball player, but I had
never been a gd player, far less a great ne. I played fr the mere physical jy that I gt ut f the game, but I
played with a will, and put my whle heart int the game. The result was that, thugh I had plenty f energy and
enthusiasm, I was never picked fr my cllege team.
Let me cnfess frankly that this was nly because there was anther player in the same psitin wh happened
t be much better than me. I cnsidered myself the better sprtsman, but he was certainly the greater player. S I
never grumbled r cmplained. I was cntent t wait and bide my time.
And at last my patience was rewarded. It was fr me a very special day. Our team had sht up int the final
and was meeting its rival (竞争对手). Our star-player sent wrd at the last mment that he was ill and he culd nt
take the field. Imagine the astnishment in the cllege camp! The thught was that the game was as gd as lst,
and s als, I cnfess, did I fr this player was ur trump card (王牌): That is what everybdy always said.
Hwever, smething had t be dne, and that smething had t be myself! The captain called me up almst
aplgetically fr having failed t recgnize my greatness befre, and — there I was, n the playgrund, greeted
by the cheers f my friends, and a few jeers frm thse wh had little faith in my prwess.
I can tell yu that I played like a demn (技艺出众的人). I was here, there and everywhere — nw leading
the attack, nw falling back t help the defense. It was indeed a thrilling mment in my life. Fr a time, I was the
center f all attentin, the bject f universal applause, and “the bserved f all bservers”. And, believe it r nt, it
第 4页/共 12页
was I wh put in the winning gal. It marked the tp f a glrius day. Even nw I lk back n the episde with
unmixed pleasure and satisfactin.
4. What can yu learn abut the authr frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. He was chsen int the cllege team. B. He intended t be a prfessinal player.
C. He perfrmed better than any ther player. D. He shwed great interest in playing ftball.
5. What was the authr’s patience rewarded?
A. He received the captain’s sincere aplgy. B. He helped his schl team t enter the final.
C. He was finally cnsidered as the trump card. D. He became a replacement fr the sick player.
6. Why did the authr say it was a thrilling mment in his life?
A. He shwed ff his patience t the fullest. B. The audience applauded his perfrmance.
C. The audience bserved players attacking. D. He played attentively in the final match.
7. What can we learn frm the authr’s experience?

Have yu ever escaped taking n a rle r pprtunity because yu didn’t feel cnfident enugh? Perhaps
the vice in yur head asked: “Why me? I am nt yet ready, nt capable enugh, r dn’t have enugh
experience.”
If yu can relate, yu’re amng the majrity f wmen with whm I’ve wrked. I recently asked mre than
120 wmen, frm areas including the U.S., UK, Australia, Gergia, Italy, India, Jamaica, and Bermuda: If yu’
ve ever avided risks, what factrs and reasns cntributed t this? Mre than 70% reprted that self­dubt, r
nt having enugh belief in themselves, their capabilities, r their skills, was a driving factr.
As ne well­knwn executive tld me: “Every day I dubt myself. I dubt that I am gd enugh t be
where I am.”
This shuldn’t cme as a surprise. We knw self­dubt is a pervasive and ften paralyzing cncern,
particularly fr wmen. A study by psychlgists at Crnell and Washingtn State highlighted higher levels f
self­dubt in wmen. Research has als shwn that wmen will apply fr a jb nly if they meet all f the
qualificatins, while men will apply when they fulfill nly 60%. Anther recent study identified a cnsiderable
gender gap when it cmes t self­prmtin, with wmen prviding less favrable assessments f their wn past
perfrmance and ptential future ability. Ultimately, men take mre chances n themselves, and that pays
第 5页/共 12页
dividends in the lng run.
While this pattern f self­dubt emerged again and again in studies, my interactins, and my client wrk, I
als nticed anther cmmnality: These wmen’s self­dubts weren’t sabtaging their success. The vast
majrity f successful wmen leaders I’ve interviewed and cached have built exciting and satisfying careers
even while facing self­dubt.
What these wmen als had in cmmn is curage in the absence f cnfidence—a trait that is ften
weapnized against wmen and used t explain why they fail t achieve career gals. My wrk has fund that
successful wmen take decisive actin t mve frward even while grappling with fears and dubts and
questining their wn “readiness”.
“As wmen, we ften feel like we have t be 100% ready in rder t mve frward. But, if yu are 50% r
75% there, jump. Just d it,” said Megan Cstell, frmer executive directr f the Bstn Mayr’s Office fr
Wmen’s Advancement.
8. What is the real factr fr wmen t escape taking n a rle?
A Higher risks. B. Different beliefs. C. Inner feelings. D. Related experiences.
9. What is typical f wmen in terms f self­prmtin?
A. They tend t be less ptimistic. B. They prefer t be well qualified.
C. They try t be favrably assessed. D. They hpe t be clearly identified.
10. Which can best replace the underlined wrd “sabtaging” in Paragraph 5?
A. Prmting. B. Weakening. C. Achieving. D. Balancing.
11. Hw d wmen with self­dubts succeed?
A. They shuld be curageus and decisive. B. They shuld keep themselves unprepared.
C. They shuld stp questining their careers. D. They shuld learn frm famus executives.
D
When yu hear the wrd “uncertainty”, what emtins arise? Fear, anxiety, excitement, r determinatin? As
humans, we experience cnflicting needs: part f us needs t feel safe, secure and t have sme rutine, and
anther part f us needs variety and pprtunity. Life inevitably brings uncertainty and change — a reality that
has been particularly evident in recent years.
Hw des ur brain detect uncertainty? Research reveals that nradrenaline (去甲肾上腺素) plays a central
rle in ur respnse t uncertain events. As a neurmdulatr (神经调质), nradrenaline influences whether brain
第 6页/共 12页
cells receive calming r stimulating signals, thereby regulating ur mental state.
T investigate the rle nradrenaline plays, scientists at MIT cnducted an experiment with mice. The animals
were trained t push a lever upn hearing a high-frequency nise, receiving a drink f water as a reward. They als
learned that activating the lever during a lw-frequency nise wuld result in an unpleasant puff f air. The
researchers then intrduced uncertainty by including a sund f unclear frequency.
The researchers discvered that the lcus ceruleus (蓝斑) — a small brainstem area that mdulates
nradrenaline — was essential in detecting uncertainty. When the utcme wasn’t clear, and the reward was a
surprise, the release was much larger. Fr example, when a muse received a puff f air instead f the expected
reward, the lcus ceruleus sent ut a large burst f nradrenaline. Over time, the mice became less likely t press
the lever when rewards were uncertain.
The study cncluded that the brain learns t manage varying uncertainty levels, with the lcus ceruleus
playing a fundamental rle. Cmplementary research at University Cllege Lndn identified tw additinal
neurmdulatrs invlved: acetylchline (乙酰胆碱) helps us adapt t envirnmental changes, while dpamine
mtivates actin during uncertain situatins.
12. What is the primary functin f nradrenaline?
A. Enhancing brain sensitivity t stimuli.
B. Creating emtinal respnses t uncertain events.
C. Regulating brain signals thrugh chemical release.
D. Detecting varius frequency sunds frm different surces.
13. What can be inferred abut mice frm the experiment?
A. They preferred uncertain rewards t certain nes. B. They avided risks after unexpected utcmes.
C. They culd distinguish all frequency differences. D. They gradually learned t ignre the unclear sund.
14. Hw d neurmdulatrs wrk tgether?
A. They crdinate adaptatin and actin systems.
B. They cmpete t cntrl human emtinal states.
C. They functin independently in separate brain areas.
D. They mainly wrk during labratry experiments.
15. Which wuld be the best title fr the text?
A. Labratry Experiments with Animal Behavir B. Chemical Respnses t Envirnmental Changes
第 7页/共 12页
C Human Emtins in Challenging Situatins D. Brain Mechanisms fr Handling Uncertainty
