I had just delivered a memorized speech, and I was about to learn how the judges decided my
performance. The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum
rolled in my heart.
The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still
not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the
months’ preparation. My heart felt closer to the latter.
Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However. it was an
indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and
yet still finish fourth out of four competitors. In my group. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race,
he said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to
laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.
I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln
Bicentennial Speech Contest. After not placing in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete
again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not
going to give upon a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not
place.
I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought
about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln. I
discovered that I can fail successfully.
24. How did the author feel after finishing his speech?
A. Excited B. Relaxed C. Nervous D. Confident
25. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?
A. He was disappointed with his preparations.
B. He hurt his toes on the way to the library.
C. He got up late on the day of the contest.
D. He was bottom of his group.
26. What made the author decide to enter the second contest?
A. The warmth of the victory. B. The inspiration from Lincoln.
C. His eagerness for the prize money. D. His desire to show himself on the stage.

Some of the recent scientific studies have found that people who receive higher education live longer
than those who do not. According to a new study, reading books extends lifespan(寿命) by up to two years,
and the more often you read, the better.
Back in 1975, economists concluded that longer lifespan is linked to the wealth of a person, and that
wealth itself increases longevity. It seemed self-evident: everything people need to be healthy from food to
medical care costs money. But soon it was realized that the data didn’t always fit that theory. Economic
success didn’t always mean longer lives.
In the 1980s, researchers found gaining higher education is connected with a greater increase in
lifespan than gains in wealth.
One fact is of teachers and college professors: they live longer than the rest of the population. The
reason is that they engage in research most of their lives for teaching or publishing, which increases their
lifespan and most importantly also retards their aging process.
Let’s look at what benefits educated people. Educated people get routinely involved in social
networks, they get access to information because of their ability to understand information. They can
easily navigate (导航) the health care system; they have more social support.
Reading helps us understand how other people think and feel. Reading improves our emotional
intelligence. This understanding can improve the quality of a person’s life as it would allow the person to
act with better judgment and have more insight into the feelings and thought patterns of others. Research
has shown that reading changes certain areas of the brain and causes certain other parts to be active. This
effect can also be observed in adults who learn to read much later in life. Learning has no age bar. Each
and every human is born with the right to be educated. So, don’t hold back your urge to learn. The goal of
education is to improve intelligence as well as the lifespan.
28. What did researchers find in the 1980s?
A. Education does affect peoples lifespan.
B. Health has nothing to do with wealth.
C. Economic success always belongs to professors.
D. Children from poor families can rarely gain higher education.
29. What does the underlined word “retards” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. speeds up B. slows down C. turns back D. contributes to
30. What is the advantage of educated people according to Paragraph 4?
A. They learn more about human body and medical care.
B. They can set up their own health care system.
C. They are more connected to the society.
D. They are skilled in doing research through social networks.
31. What can we know about reading from the last paragraph?
A. It is effective against cancer.
B. It can change a person’s lifestyle completely.
C. It can help people understand humans brain better.
D. It is beneficial to peoples EQ and brain health.
D
Our body’s response is an important part of an emotional reaction to any event. If you’ve been
criticized in public and found your face heated and your heart pounding, you’ve experienced your body’s
reaction to shame.
Sometimes what you’re feeling is clear and consistent with what you’re saying. You might say
“welcome” as you greet a guest with a smile. But at other times, we mask our emotions from the people
around us. There are many reasons to hide how you’re feeling. You don’t want to rock the boat in a strict
teachers class or you don’t want to hurt a friend’s feelings. You simply want to smooth situations over.
Even when you don’t communicate your feelings in spoken words, you may still be giving
information with your body. Arms across your chest when you approach that new teacher? Looking down
when you speak to your friend? These gestures are all important expressions of an emotion. Try
understanding what others are communicating with their bodies. Notice things like eye contact, rate of
speech and posture. How does their verbal communication match their body language? How about you?
Try tuning in to your own body. How do you think others see you? Is that consistent with how you feel? Is
it how you want to feel?
Body language communication is a two-way street. It communicates to others what you are feeling,
but it also has a powerful effect on your own emotional state. Changing your body and posture can affect
how you feel. Sit up in the meeting and you might find yourself more focused. Take a deep breath and you
feel less anxious.
The body and your body language is a great field to dig into, especially if hiding how you feel has
become habitual for you. Over time, if you become practiced in hiding your feelings, you may begin to
hide them from yourself, too. Then the consequence can be losing contact with your own emotions. That’s
actually harmful to your mental health.
32. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. make trouble B. study C. apologize D. go boating
33. How does the author explain his ideas in the third paragraph?
A. By listing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By providing definitions. D. By analyzing previous results.
34. The author uses the example of taking a deep breath to show .
A. the significance of taking exercise
B. the necessity of hiding our feelings
C. the effects of body movements on our feelings
D. the importance of using postures in communication
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. We should practice controlling our feelings.

Honesty is a valuable characteristic in a world full of false promises. Today, we re exploring five
qualities of honest individuals.
They’re not concerned about popularity contests. 36 Instead, they simply are who they
are and other people can take it or leave it. They stand up for their beliefs. Honest people don’t go looking
for
fights, but they also aren’t afraid to speak their mind. 37 While this may annoy managers
concerned with bureaucracy( 官 僚 主 义 ), most people will respect honesty and be impressed with those
willing to stand out against the group mind.
38 Honesty requires thick skin. Not all people love hearing the truth, and when you give out a
fresh dose of reality, some might be likely to throw it right back in your face. Honest individuals may fall
victim to the insecure defensiveness of others, requiring them to be thick-skinned.
They have close friendships. Individuals who are honest often have rich, meaningful friendships.
Others know that their honest friend won’t complain about them behind their back, and will instead face
any issues head on. 39
They are trusted by peers (同龄人). Individuals will seek the aid of honest peers, knowing they can
count on them for true, objective advice. However, others will just lie and tell you the story you want to
hear. 40 But there are many times that the difficult truth is what individuals really need to hear.
Others trust honest individuals to tell them what it really is, without covering the truth.
A. They do this to avoid any injured feelings.
B. They never try to fight managers’ decisions.
C. The number of friends they have doesn’t matter.
D. They are seldom upset or hurt by unpleasantness.
E. This level of trust allows for deeper, healthier relationships.
F. They will state their opinions even when they are against the majority.
G. Honest people don’t think about what others think of them all the time.
