While I was growing up, I often heard my teachers say, “Oh, Tina is gifted in algebra.” While watching the
Olympics, my parents would say, “These gymnasts are born with such ability.” Statements like these made me
believe people were born with certain talents and if they didn't have a particular one at birth, then they never would.
Therefore, I rarely focused on algebra. Nobody told me that if you keep trying and trying, one day a difficult task
will seem easy.
Actually, I learnt this from my young daughter, Samaya. One day, I was finishing some paperwork and I said,
“Oh no, how could I have made that mistake!” Samaya instantly said, “Mum, don't worry. Mistakes make your
brain grow bigger.”
Actually, we all need to be reminded that mistakes or failures are just fine and that they are a huge part of
growth and success. However, the regular belief is the opposite. We must correct this with our children. We must
encourage them to make mistakes because that means they are trying out new ideas.
Billionaire Sara Blakely, founder of the shapewear business Spanx, has seen many failures. She made a living
by selling fax machines for seven years. Knocking on many doors and making a lot of mistakes was a journey she
calls educational. Sara Blakely owes her risk-taking skills to the weekend talk she had with her father.
As a child, her father would ask her the same question every weekend. "What did you fail at this week, Sara?"
He did not care how high her scores were. He wanted to know what she had tried but failed at. When she told him
about her failures and mistakes, he would give her a high five. He was reprogramming her mind to believe that
mistakes and failures are fine.
So go ahead and ask yourself and your children, “What did we fail at this week?”
4. What discouraged the author from efforts in algebra?
A. She wasn't interested in it. B. She thought she was not gifted.
C. She thought it was useless. D. She was not allowed to learn it.
5. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Keep trying is necessary. B. Failure is a path to success.
C. Mistakes are not acceptable. D. Encouragement is significant.
6. Why did Sara's father keep asking her the same question?
A. To rebuild her mindset. B. To keep her from failures.
C. To know what she hadn't tried. D. To prevent her getting high scores.
7. What would be the best title for the text?
A. A Secret to Success B. A Method of Education
C. The Magic of Mistakes D. The Power of a Fixed Mindset

A research project called Mineral has created robots that move around in farm fields, aiming to use computers
to help farmers grow more food in ways that are healthy for the environment.
In the past, when farmers have tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, they’ve used methods that
aren’t always healthy for the environment—more fields, fertilizers (化肥), and pesticides (杀虫剂).
Mineral’s team spent several years talking to farmers to see what problems they were having and how these
problems might be fixed. That led to the creation of special robots, called “plant buggies (小车)”.
The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, track each plant’s location, and measure the plant’s size. They
can even do things humans can’t, like counting all of the small buds on a plant.
Before, farmers had information about the soil and the weather, but they couldn’t track every plant. Now, with
Mineral’s robots, they can. By collecting a lot of information like this, Mineral believes computers can help farmers
make predictions about how their plants will grow.
Studying each individual plant could save time and money. For example, if robots can detect which plants
have diseases, farmers can quickly get rid of these plants before they ruin the entire crop.
The detailed information will also allow farmers to fertilize and water the plants that truly need it, meaning
fewer plants will be spoiled and more food will be produced.
Currently, the Mineral team is working in countries around the world, Including Argentina, South Africa, and
Canada, learning how computers and robots can help farmers produce more food in ways that are good for the
environment.
8. How did farmers increase production quickly in the past?
A. Improving soil. B. Employing robots.
C. Using more chemicals. D. Watering crops frequently.
9. What inspired the invention of the “plant buggies”?
A. The use of the robots. B. Suggestions of farmers.
C. The team’s experiments. D. Research on farming problems.
10. What can the robots do?
A. Control a plant’s size. B. Collect detailed information.
C. Change a plant’s location. D. Get rid of diseased plants.
11. Which words best describe the new farming method?
A. Energy-consuming and chemical-free.
B. Efficient and chemical-free.
C. Environmentally-friendly and land-occupying.
D. Efficient and environmentally-friendly.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D

We are born to dance. Dancing changes the way we feel and think, and increases self-worth.
As a dance psychologist and teacher, I have witnessed the ways dancing has changed the lives of hundreds of
people. Then I set up the Dance Psychology Lab so that I could combine my knowledge in psychology with dance,
using science to study the relationship between movement and the brain. What I found was extraordinary: people
with Parkinson's disease（帕金森病）and dementia（痴呆）getting a new chance to live longer；an increase in the
self-worth of teenagers；reductions in sadness and anxiety in adults；increases in social bonding between people；
and fundamental changes in the way people think and solve problems. All because of dancing.
Dancing stimulates the link between the body and the brain. The emotional high we get from dancing is due to
dopamine（多巴胺）.This brain chemical plays a role in how we feel, and low levels are associated with feelings of
anxiety, hopelessness, pain and mood swings. Dancing is a great way to overcome these negative feelings because
the exercise and our emotional responses to the music we're hearing can increase the release of dopamine in
different parts of the brain. As dopamine levels go up, we can shake off some of those negative feelings and float
into an excited state.
Scientists suggest that the best time to learn a dance routine is before you go to sleep. This is because the brain
builds new knowledge structures while we sleep, and it is these structures that strengthen our ability to learn and
remember information.
In our lab experiments, we found that people who did 20 minutes of improvised（即兴的）dancing became
more creative when answering creative-thinking tasks. For example, before dancing, participants could generate
about four or five alternative uses for a common object such as a brick or a newspaper, but after dancing they could
generate seven or eight.
12. Why does the author build the Dance Psychology Lab?
A. To change how people think and feel. B. To help people increase their self-worth.
C. To find out different social relationships. D. To study how dancing influences the brain.
13. What change does dancing bring in people?
A. Dopamine levels go up. B. Their intelligence is raised.
C. Sleep quality is improved. D. Parkinson's disease and dementia are cured.
14. When is the suggested time to learn dance moves?
A. In the morning. B. Before sleeping.
C. While working. D. In the evening.
15. What do improvised dancing experiments show us?
A. Dancing helps with our creativity.
B. Dancing creates more activities.
C. Dancing attracts more participants.
D. Dancing inspires us to use more objects.
