Alice and Betty were best friends. They bad known each other since Betty moved here in

the 2nd grade. They bung out almost every day after school.

They were very different people. Alice did great with her schoolwork, read quietly and took ballet classes. Betty, on the other hand, would rather play soccer, chat with other kids at school and hardly sat still for long enough to finish reading a book. Often, Alice and Betty would play together at the park across the street. They'd play on the sports equipment or play soccer. Sometimes they could not agree on what to do. “Come on, let's play on the equipment. We've played soccer for the last three days!" Alice said. “I love playing soccer. I don't want to play on the equipment." Betty replied. “We always do what you want to do, Betty, it's my tum to choose." Alice was getting frustrated. “Fine, go to play on the equipment by yourself I'm playing soccer!” Betty shouted. Alice left angrily.

When she got home, Alice realized she still had Betty's notebook. “Well, I'm not giving it back today. I'm too mad at her." Alice thought. The next day at school, their teacher asked for their notebooks. Betty didn't have hers and their teacher Mrs. Stone was angry with her. Betty looked sad and walked quietly back to her desk.

Alice knew she should tell Mrs. Stone that she had the notebook, but she was still mad at Betty. When it was time for lunch, Alice came back to talk with Mrs. Stone. “Mrs. Stone, I have Betty's notebook. I should have said something earlier, but we had a problem yesterday, and I'm still mad at her. Could you help us solve our problem?" Alice asked.

“Thank you for being honest, Alice. I'm sure Betty will be happy that you give me her notebook. I'm glad you asked for help in solving the problem."

After class, Mrs. Stone sat and talked with the girls. Mrs. Stone helped them realize that maybe they didn't have to play together every day. They decided to just play together a couple of times a week, and take tums picking the activity. They were very happy to solve the problem.

When you tell the truth, your brain doesn't have to do anything out of the ordinary. But lying takes much more work. Science shows why lying can be hard on more than you’re your conscience (良知). It can also impair (减弱) how well you can think.

Imagine you are late for class and you decide to lie. Now you have to come up with a reason or make a story. If your teacher asks questions, you must quickly decide how to respond.

So you say: “I had to stop by the library and pick up a book."

Your teacher asks: “The book I assigned (布置的) last week?"

Immediately, you must decide how to respond- and quickly. If you say yes, the teacher might ask to see the book. Or she might expect you to read from it in class. So, you have to imagine these possibilities. So you might say: “No. It was a different book." In this situation, you must figure out (想出) what you need to say to keep this whole lie from filling apart.

When you are lying, you give your brain a ton of extra work. A lot of that work is done in the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质). It's the part of the brain in charge of working memory. And it keeps things in mind for a short while. The prefrontal cortex also plays a role in other mental skills. Some examples are planning, problem-solving and self-control. Scientists call these skills “executive function” (执行功能). You use your executive function in many ways when you lie. You might use self-control, for example. It stops you from blurting out (脱口而出) the truth. Calling on your executive function uses up a lot of brain power. There's less left over for other things. The brain is obtuse when it switches (转换) between lying and truth-telling. It also makes more mistakes.

Victoria Talwar studies lying in children and she says that there are things people can do to encourage honesty. Young people want to make others feel good, so finding ways to support their friends while still being truthful is one strategy. “When people's friends are truthful with them," she says, “it creates a culture of honesty among them." she argues, “it will build stronger friendships." She adds that it's more important to reward people for telling the truth. Telling important truths can be bard. She says sharing those truths feels good.

27. When people are lying, they have to ______.

A. figure out what extra work they need to prepare

B. find enough time to decide how to respond to others

C. avoid using the executive function to tell the truth

D. imagine possible answers to keep the lie from falling apart

28. The word obtuse in Paragraph 6 probably means ______.

A. clear

B. quick

C. slow

D. relaxed

29. The passage is mainly about ______.

A. how much extra work your brain can afford

B. why telling lies will steal people' s brainpower

C. why telling lies is a matter of conscience

D. how a culture of honesty builds stronger friendships

D

Think back to when you were in a classroom, maybe a maths classroom and the teacher set a difficult problem. Which of the two following responses is closer to the way you reacted?

A: Oh no, this is too hard for me. I'm not even going to seriously try and work it out.

B: Ah, this is quite hard but I like to push myself. Even if I don't get the answer right, maybe I'll learn something in the attempt (尝试).

Early in her career, the psychologist Carol Dweck of Stanford University gave a group of ten-year- olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. One group reacted positively, said they loved challenge and understood that their abilities could be developed. She said they had a “growth mindset" and focused on what they could achieve in the future. But another group of children felt that their intelligence was being judged and they had failed. They bad a “fixed mindset" and were unable to imagine improving. These students even looked for someone who bad done worse than them to boost (提升) their self-esteem (自尊).

Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in education at the moment. For years, children have been praised for their intelligence or talent, but thus makes them vulnerable (脆弱的) to failure. They want to please by getting high grades, but they are not necessarily interested in learning for its own sake (目的). The solution, according to Dweck, is to praise the process that children are engaged (忙于) in: making an effort, using learning strategies, persevering (坚持) and improving This way they will become mastery-oriented (interested in getting better at something) and will achieve more She thinks that keeping working bard over time is the key to outstanding achievement.

Psychologists have been testing these theories. Students were taught that if they left their comfort zone and learned something new and difficult, the neurons(神经元) in their brains would form stronger connections, making them more intelligent. These students made faster progress than a control group. In another study, some underperforming school children were exposed (接触) to growth mindset skills for a year, The results were surprising. They came top in tests, beating children from much more better schools. These children had previously (以前) felt that making an effort was a sign of stupidity, but they came to see it as the key to learning.

So, back to our original question. If you answered B, well done - you already have a growth mindset. If A, don't worry, everyone can become mastery-oriented with a little effort and self- awareness.

30. A growth mindset person is the one who ________.

A. focuses on what he has achieved at present

B. faces challenges positively to help himself grow

C. looks for someone who did worse than him

D. is unwilling to experience what he doesn't know

31. What can we learn from Professor Dweck's study?

A. Praising children for their intelligence has a positive influence on learning.

B. A person with a fixed mindset can easily improve himself in his comfort zone.

C. Intelligence or talent is the key to people's outstanding achievement.

D. Guiding students to focus on learning process can help them achieve more.

32. The writer would agree that ________.

A. testing students often can make them more intelligent

B. keeping working hard makes people vulnerable to failure

C. practicing growth mindset skills helps students get improvement

D. staying in the comfort zone is a good way to boost students' self-esteem

33. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?

A. To encourage people to develop a growth mindset.

B. To explain a scientific experiment about intelligence.

C. To discuss what the true meaning of achievement is.

D. To compare the differences between growth mindset and fixed mindset.

Gardening as part of the school curriculum (课程) began in the United States in the early 1900s and school gardening has become very popular during these years. Parents and teachers say these hands-on lessons can be used to teach many subjects.

Susan Hobart is a school teacher at Lake View Elementary School in Madison. She and her students look after the school's large garden with 12 raised beds.

“Gardens are a great way to get kids outside with a purpose. With the school gardens, kids can get to see a beginning, a middle and an end to their project. If they just sat at desks, they wouldn't have this experience." Hobart said. She added that the gardens helped calm the kids and gave them a different viewpoint about soil and food.

"If we bad to buy the seedlings, they'd cost $ 3 each and we could never afford that," Hobart says. “But there are plenty of creative ways to find help. We found seeds and seedlings from local botanical gardens (植物园) and our communities." Each spring, the school's children plant seeds and seedlings in the garden. Over the summer, teachers and young children take care of the garden together.

Hobart says that gardens do not have to take up a large area outdoors. For schools without space for even a small garden, turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be the answer.

In the school garden, teachers can teach students how to grow food and flowers. They can also teach science, social studies and even art there. “Giving kids the opportunity to move outside, get their hands dirty, and find worms, especially if their teachers are excited about it-that's important," Hobart said.

Finley, their headmaster, supports teaching city kids about seeds and growing. He aims to “change the culture around food". He remembered how amazing it was for his students to see “a seed becomes food".

“Having a garden in a school is just as important as any other education," Finley says. "The act of gardening teaches you where our food source comes from and teaches you to have a feeling of great respect for soil. If kids have a reverence (尊敬) for soil, they have a reverence for themselves and respect for this planet... Gardening is not a hobby, it's a life skill. I see this as one of the most valuable lessons of humanity.'

34. When did gardening begin as part of school curriculum in the United States?

35. Where did the students at Lake View Elementary School find seeds and seedlings?

36. What can teachers teach in the school garden?

37. What do you think of doing gardening in your school? Why? (至少给出2个理由)
