During the Song Dynasty, there was a famous artist named Wen Tong. He was known for his paintings of bamboo. He planted only bamboo in his garden even inside his house. His paintings were so good that they almost looked real! No one else could draw bamboo like Wen Tong did.
One day in spring, a storm moved into the village. Wen Tong rushed outside to his bamboo garden when everyone stayed inside. He wanted to see how the rain bounced off (弹起) the bamboo. This way, he could see what water on bamboo leaves looked like. Sure, he got very wet.
One day in summer, the sun was high in the sky and the air was hot. Wen Tong was outside in his bamboo garden when most people stayed cool at home. He wanted to see the bamboo clearly in the strong sunlight. This way, he could see every detail of every leaf. Sure, he got super sweaty.
One day in fall, it got very windy. Wen Tong went outside to his bamboo garden. He wanted to see the bamboo leaves swaying in the wind. This way, he could see how the bamboo moved. Sure, he almost fell over a couple of times.
One day in winter, it started to snow. When all the other villagers were inside home staying warm, Wen Tong was outside in his bamboo garden. This way, he could see how the ice sat on the leaves. Sure, he was very, very cold.
After many days just like these, he memorized all there was to know about bamboo. So when it was time to paint, he remembered everything he had seen. He knew the bamboo so well that one of his friends said, “When Wen Tong draws bamboo, he has its image in his mind.”
In modern Chinese, you can say that someone has an image of bamboo in his or her mind. This means that the person plans ahead, just like Wen Tong planned ahead by always going outside to study his bamboo. Although it was a hard time for him, studying hard meant that he could later create amazing paintings.

When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him, as his parents always had him do some housework or do some part-time jobs. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood friends. He had a better career, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier.
These are the findings of a 40-year study. Researchers followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who worked when they were young enjoyed happier and more successful lives than those who did not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were useful members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them, too.”
Vaillant’s study followed these males all these years. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and the ability to deal with problems.
The link between what the men once did as young boys and how they turned out as adults was very sharp. Those who did the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with other people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class (社会和经济阶层) made no real difference in how the boys turned out.
Working-at any age-is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence-the basis (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must work with others towards common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstory once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”
37. Which of the following is TRUE about John?
A. He liked doing part-time jobs. B. He enjoyed his career and marriage.
C. He received little love from his family. D. He had few friends when he was a child.
38. According to Vaillant, why could John be better off than this childhood friends?
A. Because he did part-time jobs after work.
B. Because he felt proud of himself when working.
C. Because his working experience in his childhood was of help.
D. Because he was happier than his friends when they were young.
39. How did Vaillant and his team get the findings of the research?
A. By comparing different sets of scores. B. By checking the men’s mental health.
C. By recording the boy’s effort in school. D. By testing the men’s problem-solving ability.
40. The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ___________.
A. IQ plays an important role in people’s development
B. social and economic class decides how our career goes
C. only working at a young age is important to our adult life
D. the ability of working with others towards goals is very important
【答案】BCAD

37.细节理解题。根据文中“But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood friends. He had a better career, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier.”可知,John很喜欢自己的事业和婚姻。故选B。

They also help him understand that people must work with others towards common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this.”可推理出,这篇文章的目的是告诉我们,与他人合作实现目标的能力非常重要。故选D。
