People are more willing to change their mind about people they initially hold. Common
wisdom holds that negative first impressions are hard to shake—and some research backs this up.
But such studies often unfairly compare impressions based on immoral deeds that are extreme and
relatively rare with impressions based on kindnesses that are more common. A new set of studies
involving precisely balanced behaviors finds that people are more willing to change their mind
about individuals who initially come off as selfish than about those they think selfless.
In three of the experiments, 336 laboratory and online participants read about two people
who each made a series of 50 decisions regarding how many electric shocks to give someone in exchange for money. One fictional subject required more money per shock than the average
person did to inflict ( 施加) pain on others. The other’s price-per-shock threshold ( 界限) was
comparably lower than the average person’s. Study participants read about each subject’s
decisions one at a time. Before seeing each decision, they predicted what it would be. After every
three decisions the fictional subject made, participants rated the individual on a scale from “nasty”
to “nice,” and then specified their confidence in the rating.
As expected, participants rated the person who gave shocks for a lower price as nastier than
the higher-price shocker. But they expressed less confidence in the “nasty” ratings, and their
predictions of how many shocks that person would give fluctuated (波动) more. In other words,
their beliefs about the “bad” subject were more changeable. “A well-designed brain system would
not write someone off completely at the first sign of trouble,” says Molly Crockett, a psychologist
at Yale University.
The test scenarios ( 情 况 ) are a far cry from real-world interactions. Still, the experiment
offers “a really elegant pattern that drills down on a question that’s so central to our everyday
human life,” says Peter Mende-Siedlecki, a psychologist at the University of Delaware.
58. According to the passage, what does the new set of studies find?
A. Bad first impressions may be lasting.
B. Bad first impressions are not set in stone.
C. People often judge others by first impressions.
D. People are reluctant to change first impressions.
59. What are the researchers’ findings based on?
A. The number of electric shocks someone was given.
B. Some specific laboratory and online questionnaires.
C. Comparisons between decisions made by two subjects.
D. An analysis of information collected from participants.
60. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 means “______”.
A. very secure B. much different
C. completely hidden D. almost withdrawn
C
For many, scientific innovations tend to be welcome advancements that improve our lives.
For some, however, new technologies bring risk of uselessness, in turn leading to great resistance.
With the climate crisis unfolding before our eyes, the race is on to find alternatives that will
help humanity leave a smaller footprint on our planet. Because of animal agriculture’s leading
role as a greenhouse gas emitter, the search for more sustainable protein sources could be one such
alternative.
As food tech companies use science to unlock the potential of plant proteins, they’re
producing increasingly better plant-based meats and milks that look and taste like the real thing,
but with a much lower carbon footprint. Some in the meat industry are supporting the new and
investing in these alt-protein companies.
For some lawmakers, however, these innovative products don’t deserve support; they deserve
restriction. Missouri State, for example, recently passed a bill making it a crime punishable by
imprisonment for companies to call their products “meat” if they don’t come from an animal.
So why the mania (狂热) over meat and milk all of a sudden? Was there a consumer who
brought home some pies labeled “plant-based meat” only to realize he was tricked? Did confused milk-drinkers file complaints with the Department of Agriculture when they found out their
soymilk didn’t contain actual milk?
There really are some consumers who are truly confused. Surveys show, however, that
number is remarkably small. If anything, consumers are choosing these plant-based products
specifically because they think they’re better for them than the original products. And they have
good reason to believe that plant-based milks and meats usually have less fat and more fiber
than comparable animal-based foods.
So, consumers aren’t confusing “veggie bacon” for real bacon; and if they don’t think
chicken nuggets have the same nutritional value as “chicken-free nuggets”, then why do some
meat and milk groups want a monopoly (垄断) over the M-words? Could it have to do with the
fact that the increasing popularity of these foods, which are more sustainable and better for you, is
threatening the profits of their constituents?
And with the future of our civilization hanging in the balance as climate change becomes
more severe, it’s time for policy makers to stop trying to prevent innovation, and instead to
celebrate all the ways science can save us, including with sustainable proteins that can and do
produce new kinds of meat.
61. What can be learned about the M-word applied to plant-based substitutes?
A. They are environmentally friendly.
B. They are innovative and widely accepted.
C. They have been restricted across America.
D. They have been produced in large quantities.
62. From the passage we can learn that consumers ______.
A. have sufficient faith in new science and technology
B. prefer the original products to the plant-based products
C. buy the plant-based products for their great benefit to health
D. often get confused by the composition of the new kind of meat
63. According to the author, some people resist the new kind of food probably because _____.
A. it contains no real meat
B. it brings risks to society
C. it plays a trick on customers
D. it poses a threat to their profits
64. What’s the author’s attitude towards the plant-based products?
A. Supportive. B. Cautious.
C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving
D
As John George remembers it, the Detroit neighborhood he grew up in was straight out of
Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life. “We knew all our neighbors,” George, 60, told Detroit’s
Metro Times. “On Christmas Eve, we’d all go to midnight Mass, and there would be 300 people in
our house at one o’clock to about five in the morning. The folks were just really good,
hardworking people.”
By the ’80s, however, the old neighborhood was more Pottersville than Bedford Falls. Due in
part to economic downturns and a nationwide drug epidemic (泛滥), well-kept homes had been
abandoned and kindly neighbors had fled to the suburbs. But not George. “Living in any city, it’s
like being in a relationship,” he told Reader’s Digest. “Some days are better than others. But it was my home. And when I saw it deteriorating, I had two choices: I could leave, or I could stay and
fight. I decided to stay and fight.”
When the abandoned home behind his turned into a crack den, the father of two grabbed
some plywood and nails and began boarding up the house. After two neighbors stopped to ask
what he was doing, they decided to help, with great results. “When the drug dealers came back,
they turned around and went home,” says George. “That’s how it all got started.”
“It” is Detroit Blight Busters, or DBB, an organization of civic-minded volunteers devoted to
reviving the city they love, one abandoned house, one vacant lot, and one garbage-strewn park at a
time.
In the 30 years since that first home rescue, an army of approximately 182,000 volunteers,
along with corporate and private donors, has helped George destroy around 300 abandoned homes,
mostly in the poorer Northwest area of Detroit. They’ve also secured 400-some homes by
boarding them up, thus keeping bad actors out. They’ve painted and renovated nearly 900 homes
and built over 100 from scratch. According to Forbes, more than 1,000 Detroiters have been
housed as a result of DBB’s work.
“I’m half Lebanese, half Italian, and 100 percent Detroit stubborn,” George told
nationswell.com. “Once we get something in our heart and in our head, it’s almost autopilot.”
But that was only the beginning. In 2003, George also breathed life into a dilapidated (破旧
的) square mile of Detroit by turning it into Artist Village, an area now filled with galleries, a
performance space, community gardens, a coffee shop, and outdoor courtyards. Because this
region of North Detroit was a food desert, George also persuaded a supermarket chain to move
into the neighborhood.
“Blight is like a cancer: If you don’t set upon it, it will spread,” George told
thehubdetroit.com. And then there’s Halloween. In Detroit, October 30 was ruefully known as
Devil’s Night, a period when all hell would break loose in the form of crime and vandalism. In
response, George created a citizens’ patrol (巡逻队) that would take to the streets, keeping an eye
on suspicious behavior. He called it Angels’ Night. What began with 12 neighbors on patrol in
1990 has grown to more than 60,000 citywide.
George’s inspired ideas have not gone unnoticed by the city he loves. “John wants to show
that there is still something to Detroit. That it’s still worth it,” says real estate agent Robert LaBute.
And others are buying into it. “We’re seeing the trend of younger homeowners coming in.”
Is George proud of having boosted his once-ailing hometown? You’d better believe he is. As
he puts it: “We are on the front porch of the greatest urban comeback story in this nation’s
history.”
65. Why was John George reluctant to leave Detroit?
A. He wanted to save his city.
B. He enjoyed a wonderful life.
C. He stayed to fight against drugs.
D. He got along with his neighbors.
66. What was the result of the first home rescue?
A. An official organization was founded.
B. A voluntary movement began with it.
C. A better neighbor relationship was formed.
D. The drug dealers mended their ways at last.67. The data provided in Paragraph 5 suggest that ______.
A. many people have been lifted out of poverty
B. many abandoned homes have been destroyed
C. DBB has done a lot to bring the city back to life
D. the number of the volunteers has been increasing
68. What did John George do to revive the city of Detroit ?
A. He transformed the city into an industrial area.
B. He created a citizen’s patrol to prevent crimes.
C. He expanded investment in real estate business.
D. He built a supermarket chain in the neighborhood.
69. According to the passage, John George can be described as ______.
A. cautious and creative
B. stubborn and ambitious
C. proud and self-centered
D. strong-willed and inspiring
70. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The Life of a Hero
B. Detroit’s Proud Tiger
C. The Power of Devotion
D. The Blooming of Detroit

Why Do Smart People Do Foolish Things?
We all probably know someone who is intelligent but does surprisingly stupid things. What
does it mean to be smart or intelligent? Our everyday use of the term is meant to describe someone
who is knowledgeable and makes wise decisions, but this definition is at odds with how
intelligence is traditionally measured. The most widely known measure of intelligence is the
intelligence quotient, more commonly known as the IQ test, which includes visuospatial puzzles,
math problems, pattern recognition, vocabulary questions and visual searches.
The advantages of being intelligent are undeniable. Intelligent people are more likely to get
better grades and go farther in school. They are more likely to be successful at work. And they are
less likely to get into trouble (for example, commit crimes) as adolescents.
Given all the advantages of intelligence, though, you may be surprised to learn that it does
not predict other life outcomes, such as well-being. You might imagine that doing well in school
or at work might lead to greater life satisfaction, but several large-scale studies have failed to find
evidence that IQ impacts life satisfaction or longevity (长寿). Most intelligence tests fail to assess
the extent of rational thinking, such as real-world decision-making and our ability to interact well
with others. This is, in other words, perhaps why “smart” people do “dumb” things.
The ability to think critically, on the other hand, has been associated with wellness and
longevity. Though often confused with intelligence, critical thinking is not intelligence. Critical
thinking is a collection of cognitive (认知的) skills that allow us to think rationally (理性地) in a
goal-orientated fashion and a disposition to use those skills when appropriate. Critical thinkers
have self-confidence in their own abilities to reason. They possess great flexibility in requiring evidence to support their beliefs. Critical thinking means overcoming all kinds of cognitive biases
(偏见).
Critical thinking predicts a wide range of life events. Researchers have found that critical
thinkers experience fewer negative life events such as academic (“I forgot about an exam”), health
(“I received HIV through unprotected sex”), legal (“I was arrested for driving under the
influence”), interpersonal (“I cheated on my partner for more than a year”), financial (“I have over
$5,000 of credit-card debt”), and so on.
Intelligence and improving intelligence are hot topics that receive a lot of attention. It is time
for critical thinking to receive a little more of that attention. Reasoning and rationality more
closely resemble what we mean when we say a person is smart rather than spatial skills and math
ability. Furthermore, improving intelligence is difficult. Intelligence is largely determined by
genetics. Critical thinking, though, can improve with training, and the benefits have been shown to
continue over time. Anyone can improve their critical thinking skills. Doing so, we can say with
certainty, is a smart thing to do.
Why Do Smart People Do Foolish Things?
Introduction The defining term of intelligence in daily life (71) ______
largely from how it is traditionally measured.
The advantages of
intelligence
●Intelligent people may have better academic and job (72) ______.
●Intelligence may predict less trouble during adolescence.
(73) ______ for smart
people doing foolish things
●Intelligent people don’t (74) ______ enjoy greater life satisfaction
or longevity.
●What most intelligence tests (75) ______ are rational thinking
skills like decision-making.
The importance of critical
thinking
●Critical thinkers are more likely to be (76) ______ in life and live
longer.
●Critical thinkers are rational, self-confident, (77) ______ and
open-minded.
●Critical thinking is believed to be (78) ______ with fewer negative
life events.
Conclusion We should (79) ______ more on critical thinking than on
intelligence, as intelligence is something, to a large extent, that one
is (80) ______ with while critical thinking can be trained and
improved.

International Museum Day falls on May 18. The debate over whether museums should be
free is a big one right now. Some people share their opinions.
Li Jiang
I think art exhibits should be free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the
museums should host a fund-raising event to help pay for the cost of upkeep.
They do it all the time. Wealthy buyers pay $100 for a plate and the proceeds are given to the
museum. If you decide you want to buy the art, the proceeds should go to the artist, with a fee going to the museum.
Su Hua
Free entrance does not attract people, nor does it encourage them to appreciate it.
Sure, there are exceptions to this, but by and large human beings tend to look up to things
that are difficult or costly to access.
A better option is to charge fees for regular visitors but provide free tickets as prizes for
high-achieving students and others who are likely to appreciate the reward.

One possible version:
Li Jiang and Su Hua hold different opinions on whether museums should be free for the
public. Li believes that museums shouldn’t charge visitors for admission while Su thinks
otherwise.
On a personal note, museums should be available to all visitors for free. First and foremost,
museums house many precious artworks, antiques and relics, and free access will attract more
lovers to explore their history and culture, which may add to a feeling of national identity. Besides,
given that museums are always a crucial source of inspiration and education, free access is a
rewarding investment in the future and is of great benefit to securing prosperity of the whole
society. What’s more, free access can also boost the number of visitors, thus expanding cultural
power to its fullest.
In conclusion, to help build up national pride and promote cultural confidence, museums
should be open for free to provide more cultural and educational opportunities.

don’t we play a farmer’s game?

W: Where have you been, Justin?
M: I was playing with Stanley. We built a treehouse in that big tree in Miss Johnson’s yard.

M: No, those trees are too small. We built it in five days. It looks really good.
W: Can I see it?
M: Sorry, Mom. No girls allowed.
W: OK, then, Justin. But where are your boots?
M: I think I left them in the treehouse. Can I get them tomorrow?
W: It’s going to rain tonight. Just how great is the roof on your treehouse?

W: Sorry, Justin. I hear there are no girls allowed in this treehouse. But I’ll be happy to drive you
down the street and you can get them.
M: Oh, thanks, Mom. I can’t wait to walk in the rain in my boots!
W: I knew you’d like it.
M: Yeah, Mom. Are you ready to go now? I think I heard some thunder.

Attention, everyone! Please pause your conversations for an announcement about what to do
during bad weather! Safety is our first concern, especially in winter. Recently, it’s supposed to get
very cold — about -10ºC tonight, and -15ºC tomorrow morning. What’s worse, it will be even
farther down to -20ºC by tomorrow evening. Please make sure you come to school with enough
clothes to keep you warm, and you should also have a pair of boots you can change into. Highland
Public School District officials will consider travel conditions before making a decision about
whether to cancel school. If school will be closed because of winter weather or another reason,
an announcement will be made by 6:00 a.m. on that day by local radio stations and television
stations. We may need to inform your parents by phone as well, so if your parents’ phone
numbers have changed, please tell the school. Let’s make sure we all have a happy and safe
winter! Thank you for your attention.
