As an adult, I realized that I had no skills, so I went to trade school. I entered a cabinetmaking (家具制造) program. I didn’t think I would be good at building furniture. I’m not handy. Nobody in my family is.
I had great teachers, but making furniture is hard. There are so many steps and something can go wrong at each one. I couldn’t even get organized. My toolbox always looked like a hurricane had gone through it.
I didn’t fully know what I was devoting myself to at the beginning, but I kept going to class. I tried to wrap my brain around the math. The projects forced me to solve new kinds of problems. My brain started to build new connections. Working in this new physical manner and giving it 100 percent of my effort had huge benefits for my mental health. I got over fear of embarrassment and asked for help at every opportunity.
I spent that year truly learning. True learning is a humbling (令人谦卑的) experience, especially for those of us who are learning a new set of skills. I could understand exactly what was wrong with the furniture I made, but I couldn’t fix my mistakes. And yet, I kept trying. And failing. And failing again. Until I learned to fail better.
You’re going to be bad at anything when you start out, but I was pretty bad right to the end. Even so, I finished the program — with honors! My grades were helped by my good written work. Having to constantly push beyond my comfort zone has made me a better-rounded person. Maybe most importantly, trade school gave me a more realistic idea of my strengths and limitations. I’m stronger than I thought!
24. Why did the author sign up for the cabinetmaking program?
A. To make more friends. B. To become a handy designer.
C. To get more organized. D. To develop new skills.
25. What can we know about the author?
A. He had a gift for making furniture.
B. He became stronger both mentally and physically after the program.
C. The biggest challenge for him is to know how to correct mistakes.
D. He finished the program with honor because of his excellent skills in the end.
26. Which words can best describe the author during the one-year learning?
A. Hard-working and confident. B. Devoted and determined.
C. Intelligent and creative. D. Modest and independent.
27. What does the author want to convey?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Never too late to learn.
C. Learning is more than a skill. D. Skills will never be a burden.
C
A NASA-funded study used satellite to search for penguin poops (粪便) in Antarctica: funny at first sight though, it resulted in unique insights on the Adelie penguin’s diet and its future. The findings unlocked the secrets about the species that can provide an early-warning of threats to Antarctica’s delicate ecosystem.
Researchers used satellite images to see if the Adelie penguin’s diet has been changing in response to Antarctica’s changing climate. Adelie penguin population has dropped greatly in some areas even as the global population increases. The satellite images show their presence can be detected by the stain (污渍) left on the ice by their waste, called guano.
Male and female penguins take turns incubating (孵化) in the nest. The guano builds up in the same areas occupied by the nests. A global survey for Adelie penguins turned up 3.8 million breeding pairs. Also, the satellite data can detect the color of the penguin guano, ranging from white to pink to dark red. White guano is from eating mostly fish; pink and red would be from eating mostly krill (磷虾). The team found that while the Adelie penguin’s diet did show changes from year to year, no consistent pattern was obvious.
“This was a big surprise, since the abundance and distribution of Adelie penguins has changed dramatically over the last 40 years and scientists had assumed that a change in diet might have played a role,” said Casey Young. However, continuing changes in the physical environment and a growing krill fishery in the region are likely to have an influence on penguin prey (猎物) and penguin population itself. “They will be important for the management of the Antarctic ecosystem, ” said Young.
28. What concerned scientists most according to paragraph 1?
A. The Antarctica’s ecosystem. B. The Adelie penguin’s diet.
C. The climate change. D. The secret of penguin poops.
29. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The Adelie penguin population was 3.8 million worldwide.
B. Guano colors reflected the health condition of the penguin.
C. The Adelie penguin’s diet stayed the same most of the time.
D. Adelie penguin waste helped estimate the penguin population.
30. What does “This” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Changes of penguin’s diet without a definite pattern.
B. The wide range of the color of the penguin guano.
C. Dramatic changing of penguin population.
D. The abundance and distribution of Adelie penguins.
31. What did Casey Young’s words infer?
A. More Adelie penguins have appeared over the last 40 years.
B. Diet changes didn’t actually affect penguin population as assumed.
C. There was not an obvious changing pattern of penguin’s diet.
D. Fishery was important for the management of the Antarctic ecosystem.
D
A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence (AI) can read human eye movements to “read” human personalities.
The eyes are the windows to the soul. And if so, computers and robots powered by complex artificial intelligence algorithms(算法) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul. That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality, conducted by neuroscience researchers.
“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality,” wrote the researchers, led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher, whose team follows 42 study subjects recording their eye movements, then determines their personality characteristics.
The researchers fed the data into their AI algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person’s major personality characteristics , such as “neuroticism, extraversion(外向), agreeableness, conscientiousness, as well as perceptual(感知的) curiosity”, the scientists wrote.
“The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high-tech devices, even robots, allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines,” Loetscher said.
“People are always looking for improved, personalized services. Today’s robots and computers are not socially aware, so they cannot adjust to non-verbal information,” Loetscher said in a statement quoted by Indian Express. “This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural, and better at interpreting human social signals.”
The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies, according to a summary in Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper.
32. What do the underlined words “peer into” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. search for B. concern about
C. stare at D. understand
33. How did the researchers conduct the research?
A. It was carried out in a lab.
B. 42 subjects’ eye movements were recorded.
C. The students’ daily movements were tracked.
D. Its subjects’ personalities were determined by computer.
34. What does Tobias Loetscher mean in paragraph 6?
A. Robots and computers are socially conscious.
B. People care less about improved, personalized services.
C. Today’s robots and computers can accustom themselves to non-verbal information.
D. The discovery will improve the interaction between human beings and robots.
35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Tell Personalities by Eye Movements
B. What Human Eye Movements Are
C. Human Personality Characteristics
D. How Humans and Machines Interact

Words have great power. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Many of us have been offended by words and know how badly words hurt. Today I will share a few tips on how to handle the effect of negative words spoken to you. 36    .
● Never let negative words of others define who you are.    .
37 . People who hurt you can never really harm you unless you allow yourself to be defined by these words. You are a child of God. You are very valuable in the sight of God, so never allow yourself to feel inferior just by the words of other people.
●  38 .
If there is something wrong with your actions, and others are trying to correct you, it can sometimes hurt your feelings if their words are hurtful. In that case, change those words into positive thoughts. Think like this in your mind, “Yes, I’m wrong, but I’ll find out ways to improve. Now I have hope because I know I can change.” 
● Respond softly.
    If someone speaks in a hurtful way, take a deep breath first and try to speak softly and kindly in response. A soft answer turns away anger. 39 . It will bring harm instead of healing.  
● Be silent.
If someone is purposefully hurting you for no reason, simply be silent and ignore it. It’s none of your business. 40 . It’s not your problem that they keep on hurting you on purpose. So simply leave it.

A. You need not respond to every personal comment from people.
B. Be careful in this area, or your emotions will soon be controlled by the words
of the people around you.
C. On the contrary, an angry answer is like a sword.
D. It is wise to correct others’ mistake by soft words.
E. Turn those words into positive thoughts within you.
F. Don’t worry about what others say.
G. If someone tells you “You are a fool.”, don’t believe it in your mind.

M: Why did you move house then?

W: I moved out of my house weeks ago and didn’t live with my parents any more. Last Saturday, I had decided to stay in my flat for the weekend, rather than go to a music festival with my flatmates in the afternoon. I had spent Saturday cleaning the flat and doing some reading for a lecture I had to go to on Monday morning. I went to bed about midnight after watching a movie on TV.
At four o’clock in the morning I heard a noise coming from the window. I didn’t think much of it at first—maybe it’s a cat or a bird, I thought. Then there was the sound of footsteps, although very quiet ones. I was immediately wide awake and reached for my phone. Quickly I dialed 999 for the police. I told them where I was and that I thought it was a thief. Then I got out of bed and locked my bedroom door. A few minutes later came the sound of breaking glass. Nervously I looked out of the window, but I was in luck. There was a flashing blue light coming up the road. I was really thankful to see the police car arrive.
