Eat a big meal with moon-shaped cake.(B)One summer vacation in my college, my roommate Ted asked to me to work on his father’s farm in Argentina. The idea was exciting. Then I had second thoughts. I had never been far from New England, and I had been homesick my first few weeks at college. What about the language? The more I thought about it, the more the idea worried me.Finally, I turned down the invitation. Then I realized I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared and felt depressed (沮丧). That experience taught me a valuable lesson and I developed a rule for myself: do what makes you anxious (焦虑); don’t do what makes you depressed.In my senior year, I wanted to be a writer. But my professor wanted me to teach. I hesitated. The idea of writing was much scarier than spending a summer in Argentina.Back and forth I went, making my decision, unmaking it. Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing, that downhearted feeling went through me.Giving up writing really depressed me. Then I learned another lesson. To avoid the depression meant having to bear much worry and concern.When I first began writing articles, I often interviewed big names. Before each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach. One of them was the great composer Duke Ellington. On the stage and on television, he seemed very confident. Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright (害怕). If Ellington still had anxiety attacks, how could I avoid them? I went on doing those frightening interviews. Little by little, I was even looking forward to the interviews. Where were those butterflies?In truth, they were still there, but fewer of them. I had learned from a process psychologists (心理学家) call “extinction”. If you put an individual in an anxious situation often, finally there isn’t anything to be worried about, which brings me to a conclusion: you’ll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it.The point is that the new, the different, is definitely scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.10. We can infer from the passage that the author ________. [单选题] *A. finds it difficult to make decisionB. has found out what causes anxietyC. was encouraged by Duke Ellington’s stage fright(正确答案)D. no longer feels anxious about new experiences11.

Depression is a signal that one is growing up.13. What's the best title for the passage? [单选题] *A. Confidence: Key to SuccessB. Anxiety: Challenge by Another Name(正确答案)C. Depression: A Psychological AppearanceD. Success: A Trip Through Anxiety and Depression(C)There are about 80,000,000 mines (地雷) under the ground in more than 60 countries. It is difficult and dangerous to clear these mines. About 50 people including many children were killed or hurt each day. In 2003, APOPO, a Dutch research company that trains the animals, came up with the idea of using rats to search for the mines.The animal trainers found that a kind of rats from Africa were clever and had a sharp sense of smell. The rats were about 75cm long and weighed about 1.35kg, light enough to run across a minefield without setting off the mines.In January 2004, the APOPO started this project. First, the trainers let the 4-week-old baby rats get familiar with humans. A few weeks later, the rats were not afraid of people and the things around them anymore. Then they were trained to connect a click sound with food. After the rats had learned that, the trainers then taught them to tell the difference between the smell of mines and other smells. When the rats could do it, the click was sounded and they were given a bit of banana. The method was called clicker training. "The training isn't easy," said trainer Abdullah Mchomvu. "You have to be patient. Sometimes I get angry, but then again, I tell myself these are animals".After nine months' training, the rats were taken to a minefield. They ran across the minefield, stopped, sat and searched the ground to tell the domineers (排雷员) that they smelt out a mine. Then the mine was cleared. It had taken two domineers a day to clear a 200 ㎡ minefield, but with the help of two rats they could finish it in two hours.The rats and the domineers saved thousands of lives, "The rats did this job much better than we expected. So far they have helped to make almost 2,000,000 ㎡of land safe. "They are heroes". Said Bart Weetjens, the head of the APOPO.28. While training the rats, the trainers have to be ________. [单选题] *A. cleverB. patient(正确答案)C. braveD. serious29. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? [单选题] *A. Each day about 50 children were killed or hurt by mines.(正确答案)B. The APOPO started to train the rats in January 2004.C. The trainers gave the rats food after they smelt out a mine.D. The rats and the domineers saved thousands of lives.30. What does the passage mainly tell us about? [单选题] *A. Mines are all over the world and very dangerous.B. Rats are very clever and useful.C. People can train the rats to help them clear mines.(正确答案)D. It is very difficult for people to find out the mines.(D)Go into a busy bookstore and you will notice that the women are reading about fashion, beauty or friendship and the men are reading about cars, sport or technology. This should not be a surprise. After all, these choices are quite typical for women and men—women like working with people while men enjoy working with tools, object s and materials.When we look at young babies, we see that baby boys and girls show the typical hobbies at a very early age. A 12-month baby girl will look longer at people while boysof the same age look longer at toys.So where do these differences between men and women come from? Scientists believed that parents had a lot of influence(影响)on their children. But many scientists now believe that the answer is also in the amount of man and woman hormones(激素)in the mother’s body before a child’s birth. Study has shown that this leads to three types of brain(大脑类型): type S, type E and type B. People who are born with a type S or man brain are interested in objects. They are good at building and using tools and working out how things work. People with a type E or woman brain are good at understanding other people’s feelings and treating people with great care. Others are born with both man and woman brains-this is called the type B or balanced brain.Perhaps the most important thing that the scientists found out was that sex(性别)doesn’t decide the type of brain you have. Not all men have the type S brain, and not all women have the type E brain. But on average, more men than women have a type S brain, and more women than men have a type E brain.So does this mean that one type of brain is better than another? No, not at all. Some people find that some things are easier to do than others because they are born to be interested in them. They are good at doing certain things naturally. Scientists hope that understanding how people are born with different types of brain can help make all of us more open to the difference.31. The underlined word “typical” in the first paragraph probably means “__________”. [单选题] *A. common(正确答案)B. crazyC. secretD. strange32. Which of the following is true according to the passage? [单选题] *A. A child’s birth decides the difference between boys and girls.B. Baby girls are more interested in people than baby boys.(正确答案)C. More men than women have better types of brain.D. Sex decides the type of brain.33. What does the passage mainly talk about? [单选题] *A. Child’s birth and sex.B. Types of brain and likes.(正确答案)C. Parents’ difference and influence.D.
