GOING TO UNIVERSITY is suppsed t be a mind-bradening experience.That statement is prbably made in cmparisn t training fr wrk straight after schl，which might nt be s encuraging.But is it actually true？Jessika Glle f the University f Tübingen，in Germany，thught she wuld try t find ut.Her result，hwever，is nt quite what might be expected.As she reprts in Psychlgical Science this week，she fund that thse wh have been t university d indeed seem t leave with brader and mre inquiring minds than thse wh have spent their immediate pst-schl years in vcatinal （职业的） training fr wrk.Hwever，it was nt the case that university bradened minds.Rather，wrk seemed t narrw them.
Dr.Glle came t this cnclusin after she and a team f clleagues studied the early careers f 2，095 German yungsters.The team used tw standardized tests t assess their vlunteers.One was f persnality traits，including penness，cnscientiusness（认真）and s n.The ther was f attitudes，such as realistic，investigative and enterprising.They administered bth tests twice-nce twards the end f each vlunteer's time at schl，and then again six years later.Of the riginal grup，382 were n the intermediate track，frm which there was a chice between the academic and vcatinal rutes，and it was n these that the researchers fcused.University beckned fr 212 f them.The remaining 170 chse vcatinal training and a jb.
When it came t the secnd rund f tests，Dr.Glle fund that the persnalities f thse wh had gne t university had nt changed significantly.Thse wh had undergne vcatinal training and then gt jbs were nt that much changed in persnality，either-except in ne crucial respect.They had becme mre cnscientius.
That sunds like a gd thing，certainly cmpared with the cmmn public image f undergraduates as a bunch f lazybnes.But changes in attitude that the researchers recrded were rather wrrying.In the university grup，again，nne were detectable.But thse wh had chsen the vcatinal rute shwed marked drps in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature.And that might restrict their chice f careers.
Sme investigative and enterprising jbs，such as scientific research，are，indeed beynd the degreeless.But many，particularly in Germany，with its traditin f vcatinal training，are nt.The researchers mentin，fr example，cmputer prgrammers and finance-sectr wrkers as careers requiring these traits.If Dr.Glle is crrect，and changes in attitude brught abut by the very training Germany prides itself n are narrwing peple's chices，that is indeed a matter wrthy f serius cnsideratin.
7.Which f the fllwing can best replace "beckned fr" in Paragraph 2？______
A. Examined.B. Attracted.C. Organized.D. Recgnized.
8.What can we learn frm the research？______
A. The degreeless have nt changed in persnalities.
B. Ging t university is a mind-bradening experience.
C. Wrking straight after schl narrws peple's minds.
D. Cllege students pride themselves n their educatin.
9.Accrding t the last tw paragraphs，______ .
A. cllege students enjy a very gd public image
B. the undergraduates have changed significantly in attitude
C. the degreeless are much better at dealing with challenging tasks
D. peple shw less interest in investigative jbs due t vcatinal training
10.What is the authr's attitude twards the finding？______
A. Cncerned.B. Optimistic.C. Unclear.D. Sceptical.

Fr several decades，there has been an extensive and rganized campaign intended t generate distrust in science，funded by thse whse interests and idelgies are threatened by the findings f mdern science.In respnse，scientists have tended t stress the success f science.After all，scientists have been right abut mst things.
Stressing successes isn't wrng，but fr many peple it's nt persuasive.An alternative answer t the questin "Why trust science？" is that scientists use the s-called scientific methd.If yu've gt a high schl science textbk lying arund，yu'll prbably find that answer in it.But what is typically thught t be the scientific methd-develp a hypthesis （假设），then design an experiment t test it-isn't what scientists actually d.Science is dynamic：new methds get invented；ld nes get abandned；and smetimes，scientists can be fund ding many different things.
If there is n identifiable scientific methd，then what is the reasn fr trust in science？The answer is hw thse claims are evaluated.The cmmn element in mdern science，regardless f the specific field r the particular methds being used，is the strict scrutiny （审查） f claims.It's this tugh，sustained prcess that wrks t make sure faulty claims are rejected.A scientific claim is never accepted as true until it has gne thrugh a lengthy "peer review" because the reviewers are experts in the same field wh have bth the right and the bligatin （责任） t find faults.
A key aspect f scientific judgment is that it is dne cllectively.N claim gets accepted until it has been vetted by dzens，if nt hundreds，f heads.In areas that have been cntested，like climate science and vaccine safety，it's thusands.This is why we are generally justified in nt wrrying t much if a single scientist，even a very famus ne，disagrees with the claim.And this is why diversity in science-the mre peple lking at a claim frm different angles-is imprtant.
Des this prcess ever g wrng？Of curse.Scientists are humans.There is always the pssibility f revising a claim n the basis f new evidence.Sme peple argue that we shuld nt trust science because scientists are "always changing their minds." While examples f truly settled science being verturned are far fewer than is smetimes claimed，they d exist.But the beauty f this scientific prcess is that it explains what might therwise appear paradxical （矛盾的）：that science prduces bth nvelty and stability.Scientists d change their minds in the face f new evidence，but this is a strength f science，nt a weakness.
11.Hw des the authr think f the scientific methd？ ______
A. Stable.B. Persuasive.C. Unreliable.D. Unrealistic.
12.What des the underlined wrd "vetted" in Paragraph 4 prbably mean？ ______
A. Explained.B. Examined.C. Repeated.D. Released.
13.Accrding t the passage，the authr may agree that ______ .
A. it is nt persuasive t reject thse faulty claims
B. settled science tends t be cllectively verturned
C. a leading expert cannt play a decisive rle in a scrutiny
D. diversity in knwledge is the cmmn element in science
14.Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the passage？ ______
A. Put Yur Faith in ScienceB. Defend the Truth in Science
C. Apply Yur Mind t ScienceD. Explre A Dynamic Way t Science

Hwever, mre than ften, when we achieve these things, it desn't feel quite as expected. In fact, the achievement f these gals feels anti-climactic, r a bit f a letdwn.
"An anti-climax can be an unexpected by-prduct f a milestne achievement. Usually, the mre significant the milestne, the greater the anti-climax may be," says Rachel Vra psychtherapist and funder f CYP Wellbeing. The jurney t achieving a milestne can be exciting and all-cnsuming. Therefre, when this disappears vernight, we can ften feel lst and cnfused."
In psychlgy, the belief that we'll be happier when we achieve ur gals even has a fancy scientific name.

"The term describes hw fulfilling ur gals and achieving ur ambitins desn't lead t a happily ever after," states psychlgist Lee Chambers.

Enjy the jurney
Yu'd better slw dwn a little and cme t realize that jy cmes frm the ding, nt the cmpleting. S instead f rushing fr it t be dne, take a mment t enjy the ding.
Fresee the cmedwn

Nrmalize the experience
The key is t nrmalize feelings f lw md, cnfusin, and self-dubt arund anti-climaxes, which are smething many peple experience. Cnnecting with thers may als be beneficial. It can help t engage with friends and influencers nline wh share similar experiences t feel less islated (孤立的) with yur wn emtins.
