I sat in my teacher’s ffice, red-faced and anxius, speaking faster than I culd cntrl: the stress, the sense f nt belnging, the suspicin that I was nt cut ut fr academic wrk. Instead f being disappinted, my teacher listened patiently, and calmly replied, “Yu are here t learn t ride a bicycle, nt t invent ne.” That sentence landed sftly, but it cracked (砸开) smething pen.
As a first-generatin university graduate, I had always felt the pressure t lead the way. T get int graduate schl, I fcused n presenting myself nt as a trainee ready t learn, but as an already successful, skillful researcher. I had internalized this mindset.
But after starting my PhD, I was hit by waves f academic challenges: I barely passed my first-year classes. My research grup was full f prductive members wh were publishing quality papers steadily, while my attempts t generate fresh, innvative ideas hit ne wall after anther. I felt I was running an endless race with a late start, left far behind. I hesitated t share my struggles with my teacher at first. I didn’t want him t see me as a failure. But after mnths f quietly carrying that weight, I finally spke up.
His wrds redefined graduate schl fr me. I realized that my fcus n pursuing prductivity and grundbreaking prjects was misguided. The intense cmpetitin had distracted (使分心) me frm the real reasn I became a PhD candidate: t learn hw t d research and hw t develp.
Accepting that mindset, I began t lean mre n my teacher and senir team members, which helped me make prgress. I wrried less abut publishing and prductivity, and every prject, whether it failed r succeeded, became a meaningful step frward. Tw years later, I cmpleted my PhD and mastered my riding skills while als gradually gathering the tls t invent my wn bicycle. Nw, I’m abut t establish my wn research grup. I’ll surely remind my trainees that their jb, first and fremst, is t learn hw t ride.
4. What d we knw abut the authr frm paragraph 1?
A. He was planning t give up.
B. He was reflecting upn his life.

The dr-in-the-face (DITF) technique is a persuasin skill ften used by salespeple. A persn using this technique first makes ne larger request that they cnsider likely t get rejected. Once that dr gets clsed t them, they fllw it up with a smaller request, asking fr what they really want. In general, DITF is ptent in situatins where the requests are fr a gd cause and there’s a lgical cnnectin between the requests. It might nt wrk if it is a request making the target feel ffended r pressured, r having nthing t d with the fllwing ne.
T explre the trick, a team f researchers led by Oliver Genschw at the University f Clgne cnducted a study. In the study, the research team tested 391 passersby wh walked alne acrss campus. In the smaller-request-nly cnditin, passers-by were asked t vlunteer as a guide in a z fr 2 hurs, and 34 percent f the passersby agreed t take up the jb. In the large-then-small request cnditin, passersby were asked t wrk as an unpaid animal caretaker in a z fr 2 hurs a week fr at least 2 years. If the persn said n, the researcher asked if they wuld wrk as a vlunteer guide in the z fr 2 hurs. In this cnditin, 51 percent f the passersby agreed. The agreement rate increased by 50 percent!
Sme say it’s because peple have feelings f guilt after refusing the first request. In essence, the targets see the secnd request as cmprmise (折中). Thanks t the universal law f mutual benefit,which says when thers d smething gd fr yu, it shuld be repaid, the targets feel smewhat duty-bund t agree t the secnd request, accrding t the researchers. They see that thers take a step back and feel they shuld d s, t.
“While this methd cmes int play in fields like plitical electins and negtiatins beynd the retail (零售) business, it is nt withut risks,” Oliver Genschw nted. “If an individual feels that a request is unreasnable, they may becme less agreeable t subsequent ffers.”
8. What des the underlined wrd “ptent” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Cmmn.B. Obvius.
C. Effective.D. Flexible.
9. Hw did the research team explre DITF in their study?
A. By predicting respnses t requests.
B. By asking prfessinals questins.
C. By surveying the same peple twice.
D. By cmparing tw request strategies.
10. Why did the agreement rate imprve accrding t the researchers?
A. Peple tend t return kindness.
B. Peple feel guilty at the refusal.
C. Rejecting thers further is hard.
D. The secnd request is reasnable.
11. What d Oliver Genschw’s wrds imply abut DITF?
A. Its expansin is at risk.
B. It may have ppsite effects.
C. Its future usage is uncertain.
D. It suits the business field best.
D
MIT scientists have created a kind f high-tech “wrap” capable f cllecting safe drinking water directly frm the air even in extreme envirnments.
The water harvester is made frm hydrgel (水凝胶) that is wrapped between tw layers f glass. At night, the device absrbs water vapr (蒸气) frm the atmsphere. During the day, the vapr becmes water n the glass thanks t a cating that keeps the glass cl. The liquid water then flws dwn the glass and is cllected in a system f tubes.The hydrgel cmes in a special shape — a series f rund rfs with a circular base, which are like a sheet f wrap that expands when absrbing water vapr. The shape increases the material’s surface area, which increases the amunt f vapr it can hld. This prcess requires n electricity, enhancing its sustainability and suitability.
Scientists tested the new device fr a week inDeath Valley, the httest and driest place in NrthAmerica. It culd even generate abut 1/4 t 2/3 f a cup f water(57 ml-161.5ml) every day. In ther areas, the device shuld generate mre. One challenge with the hydrgel had been the leakage f harmful salts int the cllected water, but the team vercame this by using a salt stabilizer, reducing harmful salt leakage t cncentratins well belw safety limits fr grundwater.
While ne panel might nt prduce enugh water t sustain an entire husehld, it desn’t take up much space, which means multiple panels culd be set up fr a single husehld. The scientists estimate that eight panels culd be enugh t supply a husebld in places where there isn’t easy access t safe drinking water. Cmpared t the csts f bttled water, the device culd pay fr itself in less than a mnth and last at least ne year.
The new water harvester is a majr step twards prviding safe, accessible drinking water fr peple acrss the glbe, and wrks wherever yu may find water vapr in the air. The team plans t test the panels in mre resurce-limited envirnments t learn mre abut the device’s perfrmance under different cnditins.
12. What determines the amunt f the hydrgel’s water harvest?
A. The quality f the cl cating.
B. The number f the glass layers.
C. The specially designed structure.
D. The vapr-absrbing frequency.
13. What advantage f the device is stressed in paragraph 3?
A. It is sustainable.B. It is high-tech.
C. It is prductive.D. It is heat-resistant.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The device’s ptential fr hme use.
B. The device’s lw cst fr husehlds.
C. The panel’s suitability fr tiny spaces.
D. The panel’s capacity fr water supply.
15. What is the team’s next fcus cncerning the device?
A. Ding glbal tests n it.
B. Explring its adaptability.
C. Enhancing its effectiveness.
D. Intrducing it t ther fields.
