Yu are a Stanfrd student. Yur prfessr walks int the rm, breaks the class int teams, and gives each team five dllars in funding. Yur gal is t make as much mney as pssible within tw hurs and then give a three-minute presentatin abut yur achievement. What wuld yu d?
Typical answers range frm buying start-up materials fr a lemnade stand t buying a lttery ticket (彩票). But the teams that fllw these typical paths tend t bring up the rear in the class.
The teams that make the mst mney dn’t use the five dllars at all. They realize the five dllars is a wrthless resurce. S they ignre it and start frm scratch. They redefine the prblem mre bradly as “What can we d t make mney if we start with abslutely nthing?”
One particularly successful team ended up making reservatins at ppular lcal restaurants and then selling the reservatin times t thse wh wanted t skip the wait. These students generated an impressive few hundred dllars in just tw hurs. But the team that made the mst mney apprached the prblem differently. They realized the mst valuable resurce was the three-minute presentatin time they had in frnt f attentive Stanfrd students. They sld their three-minute slt (时段) t a cmpany interested in emplying Stanfrd students and walked away with $650.
The five-dllar challenge illustrates the difference between tactics (战术) and strategy. A strategy is a plan fr achieving an bjective. Tactics, in cntrast, are the actins yu undertake t carry ut the strategy. The Stanfrd students wh bmbed the $5 challenge fixated n a tactic — hw t use the five dllars — and lst sight f the strategy. Once yu define the prblem bradly in terms f what yu’re trying t d instead f yur favred slutin — yu’ll discver ther pssibilities waiting in plain sight.

A. T present a typical class at Stanfrd.

C. They illustrate the benefits f cllecting data.
D. They have a clear team prcess fr planning.

Reading fictin is an emtinal experience. Feeling emtins — even negative emtins such as sadness — drives reading and helps us enjy bks. The emtins we feel when reading may even help us shw empathy, understand that thers have pinins, and encurage us t help thers. The emtinal experience f reading is bth individually and scially beneficial.
Currently, hwever, the link between reading and emtin is largely missing frm the reading experienced by yung peple in English literature lessns in England.
The General Certificate f Secndary Educatin (GCSE) English literature curriculum has been criticized. Examinatin questins in English literature are usually cnstructed impersnally. Fr instance, a recent GCSE paper asks students, “Hw des Priestley explre the imprtance f scial class in An Inspectr Calls?” Questins like this encurage students t cnsider the intentin and style f the authr withut taking their persnal respnse t the text int accunt.
The current apprach t the English literature curriculum and its assessment is als in cnflict with hw teachers view the value f emtins in English teaching. In ur recent study, we fund that the teachers used the wrds “feel” and “feelings” frequently. These wrds ften ccurred within brader cmments abut engagement and a sense f clseness t bth the themes and characters in the texts being studied. Sme f the teachers we surveyed felt that this cnnectin with a text had t be in place befre any attempt t analyze language, structure and meaning. As ne teacher said, “I find the easiest way int getting kids t analyze language is getting them t think abut hw it makes them feel and then t explre hw the language is making that happen.”
Teachers were als keen t prmte the value f discussin in their classrms. They viewed this as an imprtant way in which learners develped as readers, thrugh dialg and by building n thers’ emtinal respnses. They felt such cllective talk was imprtant as a tl fr enriching the classrm envirnment. It als, crucially, encuraged students t understand that any literary text can give rise t multiple and ften very different interpretatins.
Schl reading shuld be mre clsely aligned (使一致) t persnal reading practices and thse are very much driven by emtins.
9.Which f the fllwing questins might be cnsidered impersnal?
A. Which character d yu like best in the play?
B. What style des the authr use in the fictin?
C. Which pem impresses yu the mst and why?
D. What d yu admire abut the her in the nvel?
10.What shuld be dne befre analyzing literary wrks accrding t sme teachers?
A. Predicting the plt.B. Analyzing the language.
C. Outlining the structure.D. Relating t the wrks.
11.What des the authr intend t d in paragraph 5?
A. Illustrate a teaching prcess.B. Explre a reading methd.
C. Intrduce a teaching practice.D. Review a reading activity.

Nise-cancelling headphnes are ppular fr making cmmutes easier and blcking daily nise. But they have recently been questined, as hearing experts wrry veruse might harm peple’s hearing abilities. While the technlgy has clear advantages — like letting peple listen t music at lwer vlume — sme specialists suspect that cnstantly filtering ut backgrund nise may bring unexpected prblems.
Renee Almeida, a hearing expert frm Imperial Cllege Healthcare NHS Trust, has seen mre adults with hearing cmplaints. Tests shw their ears wrk well, but their brains have issues: they struggle t find where sunds cme frm r fllw cnversatins in busy places like trains r restaurants. This prblem, called the auditry prcessing prblem, is usually fund in children. Almeida thinks wide use f nise-cancelling headphnes culd be the reasn.
“The brain is used t dealing with many sunds at nce and chsing what t fcus n,” she says. “With nise cancellatin, yur brain gets nly ne sund — like a pdcast r music — with nthing else t prcess.” She adds that veruse may make children’s brain develpment slwer in learning t ntice sunds, and make adults’ brains “lazy”, just like unused muscles get weak. Bth grups may then find it hard t pick ut speech frm nisy surrundings.
Hwever, ther experts have different views. Harvey Dilln, a hearing science prfessr, says there’s n prf that nise-cancelling headphnes cause such prblems. He ntes that lud music, nt the nise-cancelling feature, might damage the auditry system. “Nise cancellatin can even be gd — it lets peple listen t music at lwer vlume withut backgrund nise,” he explains.
Dani Tmlin, anther hearing specialist, agrees that lng-term use may make listening harder when headphnes are taken ff. But she says their benefits shuldn’t be ignred — they help peple with special sensry needs and let peple enjy pdcasts r mvies during trips. “We dn’t need t stp using them; we need mre research,” she says.
Fr nw, Almeida suggests using bne cnductin headphnes and ding hearing training. She advises peple t listen t radi debates and write dwn rap sng lyrics while listening. “The brain can still change and imprve,” she says. “Just make an effrt t pay attentin t the sunds arund yu.”
12.What prblem d adults with hearing cmplaints have accrding t Renee Almeida?
A. Their ears cannt wrk nrmally.
B. They fail t lcate the surce f sunds.
C. They cannt listen t music at lw vlume.
D. They have difficulty using nise-cancelling headphnes.
13.What can we infer frm Harvey Dilln’s wrds?
A. Nise-cancelling headphnes may prtect hearing in sme way.
B. The nise-cancelling feature is the main cause f hearing damage.
C. Lud music is safer fr hearing with nise-cancelling headphnes.
D. There is enugh research t prve the harm f nise-cancelling headphnes.
14.What des Dani Tmlin agree abut nise-cancelling headphnes?
A. Their side effects have been cmpletely slved.
B. They help imprve peple’s ability t fcus n sunds.
C. Their benefits are valuable and further study is required.
D. They are mre useful than bne cnductin headphnes.
15.What is the main purpse f the passage?
A. T explain hw nise-cancelling headphnes wrk.
B. T prve that nise-cancelling headphnes harm hearing.
C. T advise peple t use bne cnductin headphnes.
D. T intrduce different views n nise-cancelling headphnes’ effects.

A child and a man were walking n a beach. The child fund a shell and held it t his ear. Suddenly he heard strange, lw, musical sunds, seemingly frm anther wrld. Then the man explained that these were merely faint sunds captured by the shell, revealing the unnticed sunds f the wrld.
(16) T enter and enjy this new wrld, we need t lve literature, and make an effrt t explain it. Behind every bk is a man, behind the man is the race, and behind the race are the natural and scial envirnments. (17) In a wrd, we have nw reached a pint where we wish t enjy and understand literature. The first step is t determine sme f its significant qualities.
The first quality f literature is its descriptin f truth and beauty. Often, sme truth and beauty g unnticed until revealed by a sensitive sul, just like the shell reflecting the unnticed sunds. (18)
The secnd quality f literature is its appeal t ur feelings and imaginatin. (19) Cnsider the line asked by Christpher Marlwe’s Dctr Faustus in the presence f Helen: “Was this the face that launched a thusand ships?”— it invites us int a wrld f lve, beauty, and herism.
The third quality f literature, cming ut f the ther tw, is its permanence. (20) It als takes n a persnal style — n writer can describe human life withut reflecting his wn life and experiences.
In summary, literature is the expressin f life in frms f truth and beauty, the written recrd f man’s thughts and feelings, and the histry f the human sul.
A．Many great wrks f literature share these qualities.
B．This is why literature can be s pwerful and mving.
C．Its attractin lies mre in what it awakens in us than what it says.
D．We must knw all these, if the bk is t speak its whle message.
E．Sme such experience as this lies in stre fr us when we begin the study f literature.
F．Gd literature reflects the mst basic f human nature — lve and hate, jy and sadness, fear and hpe.
G．Fr instance, while many might verlk a field f dead grass, a pet sees beauty and truth, transfrming it int verse: “Yesterday’s flwers am I.”

35.Grwing up, I was different. When I was fur, I was fficially diagnsed with autism (自闭症). Befre that, I had ADHD and a peanut allergy. I was a late talker. I hated lud nises. Any changes in rutine cmpletely threw me ff.
As a schlby, I felt like the least interesting persn n Earth. N ne seemed t understand me, and peple were uncmfrtable with me being different. I felt excluded by ther students. Since I culd nt fit in, I chse silence — even thugh I had s much t say.
Tward the end f my freshman year, smething changed. After hlding everything in fr t lng, the pressure built until I culdn’t take it. Like a bear that had been pked ne t many times, my inner bear finally rared. I was dne trying t please thers r shrinking myself t fit in. I decided I wasn’t ging t stay quiet anymre.

During this early pdcasting experience, I learnt abut recrding, editing and creating. Smething else als changed — I felt a sense f self-wrth, and my cnfidence grew.
