A strongly colour-blind person will still be able to tell 20 different colours, compared to the 100 or so that normal-sighted people see .pingelap, a tiny island in the Pacific, is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetic trouble. It is known as colour Blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white.Not being able to see in colour is bad enough. But one islander, Herrol，who's a fisherman，also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt-out image. "I find it difficult to go outside in the sun," he says, "because when it's sunny I cannot see to do my work.”But if being truly colour-blind is rare, why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelaplive in a totally black and white world?Well, we know that in 1780 the population of pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami(海啸).As few as 20 people survived. One of whom was the king. It's believed he had a genetic faultthat causes colour-blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations. There is one advantage. herrol can see well, really well, in the dark. So when it gets dark, Herrol and his friends get in their beats and hunt flying fish. They hang up flaming torches and the fish are attracted to the flames. "This type of fishing, is fun," Herrol says. "especially if we catch plenty. So even though it's hard work we enjoy it.”24.

Because the king's genetic fault played a role.D. Because the king made a serious mistake.27. What would be the best title for the text?A. The Island of Colour-blindnessB. The Disadvantage of HerrolC. T he History of Pingelap·D. The Advantage of Colour-blindnessCA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened.A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation (诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible (固守己见的).Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as" character".EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understandis how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.28. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that _____.A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experimentB. emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescenceC. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal successD. candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence29. The underlined word "upbeat" in Paragraph 4 probably means _____.A. kindB. floatingC. excitedD. optimistic30. Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A. To introduce the topic of the text.B. To prove the scientist's wisdom.C. To amuse both the children and readers.D. To show us how to do an IQ test.31. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows？A. Information about famous people with high EQ.B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.C. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field.D. Strong demand for basic emotional education.DIn addition to showing support for their school, high school students with school spirit perform better academically, are more engaged in (参加) social matters, and are happier in general than their less-spirited schoolmates. These findings were part of an online survey of high school students, parents and (校长) . The new survey conducted by Harris Poll involved about 1,500 individuals who were asked about school pride, academics, self-respect and community involvement. The research attempted todiscover how school spirit is connected to the way high school students learn, lead and grow.School spirit involves a student's pride in his or her school, a student's tendency to get other students to be active in school events, and a student's plans to return to his or her school for special events after graduation. A Student who completed the survey stated that “school spirit means to support your school no matter what, knowing your school has helped you to reach your goals."From academic achievement to general happiness, the survey (表明) a positive relationship to school spirit. Nearly all of the principals believe that higher levels of school spirit are tied to higher student achievement.“When students feel a sense of school spirit, they tend to be more involved in the great opportunities which exist in their school,” noted one female principal who responded to the survey. “If they have a lower level of such spirit, they are not involved in athletics or many of the activities. Additionally, they do not take personal responsibility for not doing well and tend to blame the school. Students who are achieving strongly tend to be involved in all aspects of high school. They participate in different events, activities and athletics on site."The survey indicated that during the 2013-2014 school year, high school students were involved in an average of eight after-class activities; and among those individuals involved in activity programs,51 percent said the reason they were involved was so that they could be involved in their school, and 34 percent said getting involved was a way to show thdr school spirit.32. The survey was conducted to explore the link between _________.A. students’ performance and support from their schoolB. school spirit and high school students’ developmentC. students’ happiness and their academic achievementD. high school students’ school spirit and social matters33. Paragraph 2 shows students with higher school spirit will __________.A. often revisit their school after graduationB. feel very proud of their own achievementC. try to work very hard to reach their goalsD. pay much less attention to school events34. The female principal tells us students with school spirit .A. are better at taking opportunities at their schoolB. spend more time learning than doing athleticsC. are more likely to take part in school activitiesD. often refuse to take personal responsibility35. What would be the best title for the text?A. The importance and function of school spiritB. Survey shows students with school spirit are top achieversC.
