It was a sunny winter day. I had gne up and dwn the twer when, utside the little dr at the ft, a blind man came tward me. He was a pale, thin man with dark glasses. He kept clse t the inner wall f the curtyard. On reaching the dr, he tuched it and sharply turned inside. In a mment, he disappeared up the staircase. I std still, lking at the little sign that said “T the Twer… ” I felt bliged t fllw.
I didn’t fllw clsely. I caught up with him in the ticket ffice. There I was surprised t see the attendant selling him a ticket as thugh he were any ther visitr. With the ticket in ne hand and tuching the wall with the ther he reached the staircase leading t the hallway.
“That man is blind,” I said t the attendant, but he shwed n cncern. “He’s blind,” I repeated. He didn’t answer, lking at me vacantly.
“Perhans he wants t jump,” I said. But his chair was t cmfrtable. He didn’t stir. He still lked dwn at a crsswrd puzzle he had begun. I turned tward the staircase.
“The ticket,” the attendant said, rising frm his chair. It seemed the nly thing that culd mve him. After purchasing my ticket, I hurried up the staircase.
The man hadn’t gne as far as I imagined. After ten minutes, I apprached him. “Excuse me,” I said as plitely as I culd, “but I am very curius t knw why yu came up.”
“Yu’d never guess,” he said.
“Nt the view, I take it, r the fresh air n this winter day,” I said.
He smiled. “Cming up the stairs, ne can feel the change-the c staircase suddenly becmes quite warm, —and hw up here behind the wall there is shade, but as sn as ne ges ppsite a narrw windw ne finds the sun. In all f Siena there is n place s gd as here.”
He mved int the sunlight. Then he stepped int the shade. “Light, shade, light, shade,” he said, and seemed as pleased as a child wh, in a game f hpsctch, jumps frm square t square.
We went dwn the twer tgether. I left him, gladdened as ne can nly be by the sunlight.
4. Why did the authr fllw the blind man?

Curisity is the driving frce behind ur develpment and even ur success. But it can als be dangerus, leading t setbacks r even dwnfalls, s why are humans s curius? D scientists even have a definitin fr this inbrn drive?
Actually, there isn’t ne set in the stne. Psychlgists agree curisity isn’t abut satisfying an immediate need, like hunger r thirst; rather, it’s intrinsically (内在地) mtivated. Curisity cvers such large set f bebavirs that there prbably isn’t any single “curisity gene” that makes humans wnder abut and explre their envirnment. Genes and the envirnment interact in many cmplex ways t shape individuals and guide their behavir, including their curisity.
Regardless f their genetic makeup, infants have t learn an incredible amunt f infrmatin in a shrt time, and curisity is ne f the tls humans have fund t accmplish that huge task. In a classic study, a psychlgist shwed that infants between 2 mnths and 6 mnths ld grew less and less interested in a cmplex visual pattern the mre they lked at it. But curisity ften cmes with a cst. In sme situatins, the risks are lw and failure is a healthy part f grwth. Fr instance, many babies are perfectly prficient crawlers, but they decide t try walking because there’s mre t see and d when they stand upright. But this milestne cmes at a small cst. A study f 12- t 19-mnth-lds learning hw t walk dcumented that these children fell dwn a lt. Seventeen times per hur, t be exact. But walking is faster than crawling, s this mtivates expert crawlers t transitin t walking.
Smetimes, hwever, testing ut a new idea can lead t disaster. Fr instance, the Inuit peple f the Arctic regins have created incredible mdes t deal with the challenges f living in nrthern r climates, but what we frget abut are the tens f thusands f peple that tried and failed t make it in thse challenging landscapes.
8. What des the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?
A. Curisity is hard t define.B. Humans are nt afraid f setbacks.
C. Scientists are nt curius abut the stne.D. Curisity isn’t the driving frce behind grwth.
9. What d psychlgists agree abut the nature f curisity?
A Sets f behavirs guide curisity.B. Immediate needs drive curisity.
C. External factrs determine curisity.D. Genes and envirnment wrk tgether n curisity.
10. What cntributes t babies’ grwing milestnes?
A. They prefer nvelty.B. They fear failures.
C. They desire t achieve tasks.D. They make their wn decisins.
11. Why des the authr mentin the Inuit peple in the last paragraph?
A. T prve hw curisity helped them survive.B. T shw curisity may cme with a high price.
C. T describe why Inuit peple needed curisity.D. T shw hw Inuit peple vercame the challenges.
D
There is a benefit in acknwledging the fact that ur brains are brn with a negativity preference that serves t prtect us frm ptential harm. We wuld nt have lasted very lng as a species if ur ancestrs had kept ptimistic in the face f a charging tiger rather than thinking the wrst and allwing the natural respnse f fight-r-flight t kick in.
The psychlgical technique f using a negative utlk fr persnal grwth is knwn as defensive pessimism (DP). Rather than frcing neself t adpt a psitive mindset, DP fcuses n preparing fr wrst cases, thereby reducing anxiety. Let’s face it: Telling an anxius mind nt t wrry is as useless as trying nt t get wet in a rainstrm by thinking sunny thughts; better t take shelter. Many peple have used this technique in their daily lives withut giving it a name. COVID-19 gave us all a chance t practice DP as we lk precautins t decrease ur chances f becming infected.
This psychlgical mind trick is nt withut its drawbacks. Applied t ften, life can becme a series f setbacks, nly taking discmfrt in the fact that ne’s predictin f the wrst case came true. Persnal relatinships may als suffer, as the ptimists in ne’s life grw weary f the glass always being half-empty and will, at times, take t irnically singing “Dn’t wrry, be happy” as payback.
There is likely t be a day when the glass-half-empty/half-full debate is replaced by the realizatin that ptimism and pessimism dn’t ppse each ther, they supprt each ther. and trying t have ne withut the ther is like trying t have a ne-sided cin.
12. What wuld defensive pessimists d in wet weather?
A. Picture sunny days.B. Open an umbrella.
C. Feel the rainstrm.D. Run thrugh the rain.
13. The example f “COVID-19” in paragraph 2 is used t _________.
A. make a cmparisnB. prpse an argument
C. intrduce a tpicD. clarify a cncept
14. Which f the fllwing may a defensive pessimist believe?
A. Whatever will be, will be.B. Every clud has a silver lining
C. Dn’t put all yur eggs in ne basket.D. The glass is half full nt half empty.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. In defense f pessimismB. The explratin f psychlgy
C. Pessimism: a ne-sided cinD. Negativity: tricky in psychlgy

My parents were always against me wning my wn pet, afraid f the mess it wuld make r that I wuld quickly lse interest in taking care f it, but we made a cmprmise: I culd vlunteer at a lcal pet shelter n the weekends t test my sense f respnsibility and dedicatin. That was hw I first came t vlunteer at the Avndale pet shelter and—mre imprtantly—where I met my future best friend, Chclate.
One ht August afternn, my bss Charlie tld me that they were bringing in a yung black Labradr Retriever and that I’d be its primary caretaker. An hur after ur cnversatin and in came Chclate—a beautiful dg with shining brwn fur and amazing blue eyes. At abut 3 mnths ld, I expected him t be a lt mre energetic and playful, but he immediately backed and lay dwn at the back f his pen (围栏).
I asked Charlie what was the matter with him. He replied that Chclate had a genetic prblem which caused him t be brn with a shrt tail, leading ptential wners t think there was smething wrng with him; s the breeder felt that they had n chice but t give up the puppy t the shelter.
He was verlked and underappreciated. I felt very angry at the thught that an therwise healthy dg culd be thrwn away s easily. At the same time, I felt a deep sympathy fr this dg wh had been cheated ut f the lve and attentin he deserved. It was at this mment that I reslved t give Chclate as much lve and attentin as I culd while wrking as a vlunteer.
Althugh Chclate was reluctant and shy at first. eventually thrugh enugh treats and play he slwly came arund and warmed up t me. Sn enugh, whenever I came arund his pen t let him ut fr his turn f walks and play, Chclate was always excited and jumping with jy.

It was a sunny winter day. I had gne up and dwn the twer when, utside the little dr at the ft, a blind man came tward me. He was a pale, thin man with dark glasses. He kept clse t the inner wall f the curtyard. On reaching the dr, he tuched it and sharply turned inside. In a mment, he disappeared up the staircase. I std still, lking at the little sign that said “T the Twer… ” I felt bliged t fllw.
I didn’t fllw clsely. I caught up with him in the ticket ffice. There I was surprised t see the attendant selling him a ticket as thugh he were any ther visitr. With the ticket in ne hand and tuching the wall with the ther he reached the staircase leading t the hallway.
“That man is blind,” I said t the attendant, but he shwed n cncern. “He’s blind,” I repeated. He didn’t answer, lking at me vacantly.
“Perhans he wants t jump,” I said. But his chair was t cmfrtable. He didn’t stir. He still lked dwn at a crsswrd puzzle he had begun. I turned tward the staircase.
“The ticket,” the attendant said, rising frm his chair. It seemed the nly thing that culd mve him. After purchasing my ticket, I hurried up the staircase.
The man hadn’t gne as far as I imagined. After ten minutes, I apprached him. “Excuse me,” I said as plitely as I culd, “but I am very curius t knw why yu came up.”
“Yu’d never guess,” he said.
“Nt the view, I take it, r the fresh air n this winter day,” I said.
He smiled. “Cming up the stairs, ne can feel the change-the c staircase suddenly becmes quite warm, —and hw up here behind the wall there is shade, but as sn as ne ges ppsite a narrw windw ne finds the sun. In all f Siena there is n place s gd as here.”
He mved int the sunlight. Then he stepped int the shade. “Light, shade, light, shade,” he said, and seemed as pleased as a child wh, in a game f hpsctch, jumps frm square t square.
We went dwn the twer tgether. I left him, gladdened as ne can nly be by the sunlight.

Curisity is the driving frce behind ur develpment and even ur success. But it can als be dangerus, leading t setbacks r even dwnfalls, s why are humans s curius? D scientists even have a definitin fr this inbrn drive?
Actually, there isn’t ne set in the stne. Psychlgists agree curisity isn’t abut satisfying an immediate need, like hunger r thirst; rather, it’s intrinsically (内在地) mtivated. Curisity cvers such large set f bebavirs that there prbably isn’t any single “curisity gene” that makes humans wnder abut and explre their envirnment. Genes and the envirnment interact in many cmplex ways t shape individuals and guide their behavir, including their curisity.
Regardless f their genetic makeup, infants have t learn an incredible amunt f infrmatin in a shrt time, and curisity is ne f the tls humans have fund t accmplish that huge task. In a classic study, a psychlgist shwed that infants between 2 mnths and 6 mnths ld grew less and less interested in a cmplex visual pattern the mre they lked at it. But curisity ften cmes with a cst. In sme situatins, the risks are lw and failure is a healthy part f grwth. Fr instance, many babies are perfectly prficient crawlers, but they decide t try walking because there’s mre t see and d when they stand upright. But this milestne cmes at a small cst. A study f 12- t 19-mnth-lds learning hw t walk dcumented that these children fell dwn a lt. Seventeen times per hur, t be exact. But walking is faster than crawling, s this mtivates expert crawlers t transitin t walking.
Smetimes, hwever, testing ut a new idea can lead t disaster. Fr instance, the Inuit peple f the Arctic regins have created incredible mdes t deal with the challenges f living in nrthern r climates, but what we frget abut are the tens f thusands f peple that tried and failed t make it in thse challenging landscapes.
8. What des the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?
A. Curisity is hard t define.B. Humans are nt afraid f setbacks.
C. Scientists are nt curius abut the stne.D. Curisity isn’t the driving frce behind grwth.
9. What d psychlgists agree abut the nature f curisity?
A Sets f behavirs guide curisity.B. Immediate needs drive curisity.
C. External factrs determine curisity.D. Genes and envirnment wrk tgether n curisity.
10. What cntributes t babies’ grwing milestnes?
A. They prefer nvelty.B. They fear failures.
C. They desire t achieve tasks.D. They make their wn decisins.
11. Why des the authr mentin the Inuit peple in the last paragraph?
A. T prve hw curisity helped them survive.B. T shw curisity may cme with a high price.
C. T describe why Inuit peple needed curisity.D. T shw hw Inuit peple vercame the challenges.
D
There is a benefit in acknwledging the fact that ur brains are brn with a negativity preference that serves t prtect us frm ptential harm. We wuld nt have lasted very lng as a species if ur ancestrs had kept ptimistic in the face f a charging tiger rather than thinking the wrst and allwing the natural respnse f fight-r-flight t kick in.
The psychlgical technique f using a negative utlk fr persnal grwth is knwn as defensive pessimism (DP). Rather than frcing neself t adpt a psitive mindset, DP fcuses n preparing fr wrst cases, thereby reducing anxiety. Let’s face it: Telling an anxius mind nt t wrry is as useless as trying nt t get wet in a rainstrm by thinking sunny thughts; better t take shelter. Many peple have used this technique in their daily lives withut giving it a name. COVID-19 gave us all a chance t practice DP as we lk precautins t decrease ur chances f becming infected.
This psychlgical mind trick is nt withut its drawbacks. Applied t ften, life can becme a series f setbacks, nly taking discmfrt in the fact that ne’s predictin f the wrst case came true. Persnal relatinships may als suffer, as the ptimists in ne’s life grw weary f the glass always being half-empty and will, at times, take t irnically singing “Dn’t wrry, be happy” as payback.
There is likely t be a day when the glass-half-empty/half-full debate is replaced by the realizatin that ptimism and pessimism dn’t ppse each ther, they supprt each ther. and trying t have ne withut the ther is like trying t have a ne-sided cin.
12. What wuld defensive pessimists d in wet weather?
A. Picture sunny days.B. Open an umbrella.
C. Feel the rainstrm.D. Run thrugh the rain.
13. The example f “COVID-19” in paragraph 2 is used t _________.
A. make a cmparisnB. prpse an argument
C. intrduce a tpicD. clarify a cncept
14. Which f the fllwing may a defensive pessimist believe?
A. Whatever will be, will be.B. Every clud has a silver lining
C. Dn’t put all yur eggs in ne basket.D. The glass is half full nt half empty.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. In defense f pessimismB. The explratin f psychlgy
C. Pessimism: a ne-sided cinD. Negativity: tricky in psychlgy

My parents were always against me wning my wn pet, afraid f the mess it wuld make r that I wuld quickly lse interest in taking care f it, but we made a cmprmise: I culd vlunteer at a lcal pet shelter n the weekends t test my sense f respnsibility and dedicatin. That was hw I first came t vlunteer at the Avndale pet shelter and—mre imprtantly—where I met my future best friend, Chclate.
One ht August afternn, my bss Charlie tld me that they were bringing in a yung black Labradr Retriever and that I’d be its primary caretaker. An hur after ur cnversatin and in came Chclate—a beautiful dg with shining brwn fur and amazing blue eyes. At abut 3 mnths ld, I expected him t be a lt mre energetic and playful, but he immediately backed and lay dwn at the back f his pen (围栏).
I asked Charlie what was the matter with him. He replied that Chclate had a genetic prblem which caused him t be brn with a shrt tail, leading ptential wners t think there was smething wrng with him; s the breeder felt that they had n chice but t give up the puppy t the shelter.
He was verlked and underappreciated. I felt very angry at the thught that an therwise healthy dg culd be thrwn away s easily. At the same time, I felt a deep sympathy fr this dg wh had been cheated ut f the lve and attentin he deserved. It was at this mment that I reslved t give Chclate as much lve and attentin as I culd while wrking as a vlunteer.
Althugh Chclate was reluctant and shy at first. eventually thrugh enugh treats and play he slwly came arund and warmed up t me. Sn enugh, whenever I came arund his pen t let him ut fr his turn f walks and play, Chclate was always excited and jumping with jy.
