One day in the gym, I asked a coach, “What’s the difference between the best athletes and
everyone else?” He briefly mentioned the things that you might expect: genetics, luck, talent.
But then he added something I wasn’t expecting. “At some point,” he said, “it comes down
to who can handle the boredom of training every day and doing the same practice over and over
again.”
Most of the time people talk about getting motivated to work on their goals. As a result, I
think many people get depressed when they lose focus or motivation because they think that
successful people never lack motivation that they seem to be missing. But that’s exactly the
opposite of what this coach was saying.
When I was an athlete, I loved going to practice the week after a big win. Who wouldn’t?
此 卷 只 装 订 不 密 封
班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号 Your coach is happy, your teammates are excited, and you feel like you can beat anyone. As an
entrepreneur, I love working when customers are rolling in and things are going well. Getting
results has a way of pushing you forward.
But what about when you’re bored? What about when the work isn’t easy? What about
when it feels like nobody is paying attention or you’re not getting the results you want? It’s the
ability to work when work isn’t easy that makes the difference.
If you look at the people who are consistently achieving their goals, you start to realize that
it’s not the events or the results that make them different. It’s their commitment to the process.
They fall in love with the daily practice.
So, fall in love with boredom. Fall in love with repetition and practice. Fall in love with the
process of what you do and let the results take care of themselves.
24. What was the author’s attitude towards the coach’s added answer?

C
On her first morning in America last summer, my daughter went out to explore her new
neighborhood alone, without even telling my wife or me. Of course we were worried; we had
just moved from Berlin, and she was just 8. But when she came home, we realized we had no
reason to panic. Beaming with pride, she told us how she had discovered the little park around
the corner, and had made friends with a few local dog owners.
When this story comes up in conversations with American friends, we usually meet with
polite disbelief. Most are horrified by the idea that their children might roam( 闲 逛 ) around
without adult supervision(监管).
A study by the University of California has found that American kids spend 90 percent of
their free time at home, often in front of the TV or playing video games. Such narrowing of
children's world has happened across the developed world. But German parents are generally
much more accepting of letting children take some risks.
“We are depriving( 剥 夺 ) them of opportunities to learn how to take control of their own
lives,” writes Peter Gray, a research professor at Boston College. He argues that this increases
the chance that they will suffer from anxiety, depression, and various other mental disorders,
which have gone up dramatically in recent decades(十年).
I am no psychologist like Professor Gray, but I know I won't be around forever to protect
my girls from the challenges life holds in store for them. And by giving kids more control over
their lives, they learn to have more confidence in their own abilities.
28. Hearing the author's daughter exploring the new neighborhood alone, his American
friends feel________.
A. worried B. proud C. doubtful D. terrified
29. We can conclude from Paragraph 3 that ________.
A. American kids enjoy playing at home
B. German parents are less protective than American parents
C. German kids like taking risks more than American kids
D. American parents don't limit their children's activities in their leisure time
30. It’s implied from Professor Gray's words that ________.
A. parents should always be around their children to protect them from risks
B. more and more parents suffer from mental problems
C. children are having more opportunities to take control of their lives
D. giving children more freedom is beneficial to their mental development
31. Which of the following words can best describe the author's parenting?
A. Open-minded. B. Irresponsible. C. Careless. D. Protective. D
People with an impulsive(冲动的) personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering
the possible dangers or problems first. According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia,
such people may be more likely to have food addiction. The study found that people exhibiting impulsive
behavior weren’t necessarily overweight, but impulsiveness was related to a direct relationship with food,
and therefore, less healthy weight.
Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use. Studies have linked the dopamine (多巴胺)
release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume
other addictive substances.
Impulsive behavior involves several personality traits (特点). Two of these traits, known as negative
urgency and lack of perseverance, were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI (身体质量
指数) during the study.
Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative
emotions. Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs. For others, it could mean eating to feel better. Lack
of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks. People with a lack of
perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause
obesity.
“Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addictive way despite motivation to lose
weight,” said Dr. Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist. He was involved in developing the Yale Food
Addiction Scale in aid of those people. “We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, then our
measure, the Yale Food Addiction Scale, should be related to helping control impulsive action,” said
Gearhardt.
Clinical psychologist Dr. James MacKillop, whose lab was conducting the study, believes that therapies
（治疗，疗法）used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating
habits.
“Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things, which are clearly
diet and exercise,” MacKillop said. “It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with
the skills a person would need to eat healthily.”
32. According to Paragraph 1, the result of food addiction is ________.
A. taking alcohol or drugs B. motivation to lose weight
C. negative emotions D. less healthy weight
33. How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4?
A. By making comparisons and conclusions.
B. By explaining causes and effects.
C. By giving definitions and examples.
D. By presenting questions and answers.
34. What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text?
A. It has been successfully carried out among overweight people.
B. It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight.
C. It will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people.
D. It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food and drug behavior.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Impulsive personality linked to food addition
B. Food addiction compared to drug use
C. Dopamine release caused by food addiction
D. Food addiction contributing to obesity

It’s natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave. 36 But what happens if your face and body
send mixed messages? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold
your body?
Scientists have recently tackled these questions. They found that when a person is looking at your face,
she might not believe what she sees if your body language doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows.
37 Previously, they had found that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the
words that are spoken. For example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “I’m
so excited.”
When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists
suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists from the Netherlands and
Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated( 孤 立 的 )faces and isolated bodies (with faces
blurred out(模糊的)) that showed anger or fear. 38 An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open
mouth. 39 A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend.
These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. Even when people pay
attention to the face, body language subtly(微妙地) influences which emotion they read.
40 If you want to be understood, it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.
A. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.
B. Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people.
C. So, your body language is important for telling people how you feel.
D. When you do this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you’re happy to see them.
E. An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.
F. They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies.
G. Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.

My mom gave me some wise advice: “Nothing beats a good bite that bites back.” She was talking
about her 41 for bitter-tasting food like rhubarb (大黄).
Mom’s rhubarb plant is at the east of our 42 . Grandma moved it there from the farm. 43 I’ve
always regarded it as an overgrown weed.
We kept the largest garden in the neighborhood. Each growing season, we 44 the plentiful
rhubarb, tomatoes, beans and carrots with our neighbors and friends. More families took the rhubarb than
any other fruit.
Nearly three years ago, while 45 Mom’s flower bed, I finally asked if I could dig out her rhubarb.
46 , she didn’t bake with it anymore.“Absolutely not,” Mom said. Clearly I hadn’t 47 her devotion
to it.
As I continued weeding, I thought about how rhubarb is one of the 48 plants to appear in early
spring. It breaks through the snowy, icy ground before buds (芽) form on trees. How can anyone fail to
49 such a passionate desire?
When those first sprouts ( 嫩 芽 ) 50 , I’d find Mom outdoors, examining them like a 51
counting a newborn’s fingers and toes. She would estimate about how long it’d be until she could make her
rhubarb 52 .
But when I was a kid and she gave me that pie, it made me 53 . In my teens, it made me complain.
54 ice cream did not sweeten the deal for my young taste buds. Rhubarb was something to be 55 at
all costs.
Then, last summer, I searched for Mom’s 56 . I found the one for her rhubarb pie. So I 57 to
give it a try. A few tries later, I 58 rhubarb pie to family and guests. It tasted incredible.
Since then I’ve come to two 59 about rhubarb. First, you can take rhubarb out of the country,
but you can’t take the country out of the rhubarb. And second, rhubarb’s taste may be lost on children, but
adults can 60 it. Like my wise mother, I now understand that “Nothing beats a good bite that bites
back.”
