He was a geologist and loved to go on long walks to find stones to add to his collection at the university. More often than not, we followed him.One day, we left early, and this time, our uncle gave us two backpacks. “ You can help me carry the samples(样本),” he explained.Surely, why not ? The whole day, we walked around the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit surprised that sometimes he also took some stones out from our bags, but thought he had just found better samples.We reached the house in the late afternoon. The backpacks were so heavy that we were really tired out when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncle’s backpack was half-empty.“Why did you give us so many stones?” we asked.“I didn’t. You did,”he said, waiting for a while before continuing. “You did not know it, but I made you go through a little attitude(态度) test today.”“What do you mean an ‘attitude test’?” we wanted to know.“It is something someone once did to me. You see, I listened to every word you said. And whenever you complained(抱怨) about anyone or anything, I added a stone to your bags. And whenever you talked about something in an attitude of positive thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks.”We did. They were full.“I hope you remember this little attitude test. You see, your negative thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones and start paying attention to what you say and how you say things.”This little lesson was one of the most important lessons I ever had. And I remember my uncle with great love for teaching us one of the most important lessons in life – the power of attitude.23. A geologist is a person who _______.A. grows plantsB. studies the earthC. sells stonesD. draws pictures24. What did the writer and his brother often do when staying with their uncle in the countryside?A. They often followed him to collect stones.B. They often followed him to his university.C. They often studied the stones with him.D. They often took long walks to enjoy nature.25. When the writer and his brother returned home late in the afternoon, _______.A. they were tired but happy that they had helped their uncleB. they wished they could collect more sample stonesC. they found that their bags were filled with stonesD. they were angry to find their uncle’s bag half-empty26. This article is mainly written to tell us that ________.A. we should do science tests from time to timeB. we should spend more time collecting stonesC. we should be more positive when facing difficultiesD. we should pay more attention to our backpacksDHave you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place?Lots of people do. And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why. They found that one-half of the brain "remains more awake" than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place.The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University. In their report, the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home. They call it "first-night influence". "In Japan they say, 'If you change your be d, you can't sleep,'" said Yuka Sasaki, one of the report's writers. "You don't sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it."The researchers measured brain waves (测量脑波) for 35 volunteers over two nights in a laboratory. The two nights were a week apart (间隔). They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half. This was during the first deep-sleep period, the researchers said.Sasaki said a lot of questions remain.Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long. So, they don't know if the left half keeps "watch" all night, or whether it "works in shifts (轮换) with the right half later in the night". They also do not know why the brain activity, at least during the first period of deep sleep, is always on the left half.For some, this research may be calming. It is good to know that our brain is "looking out for us" in a new place. But it may not help with sleep. That brain activity, at least according to this new research, makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning.27. The researchers found ________ during the first deep-sleep period.A. the brain waves remained the sameB. the brain activity helped with sleepC. the right half of the brain kept "watch"D. the left half of the brain was more active28. The underlined word "calming" has the closest meaning to"________ ".A. pleasingB. differentC. seriousD. strange29. What can be learned according to the passage?A. Many people have a harder time sleeping outside their home.B. Don’t sleep very well in a new place is first night influence.C. Researches keep measuring brain waves all night.D. The left half brain works in shifts with the right half.30. What is the text mainly about?A. What we will have to do to sleep well.B. How researchers measure brain waves.C. Who doesn't sleep well in a new place.D. Why it's harder to sleep in a new place.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）下面文章中有五处（第31-35题）需要添加小标题，请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，选项中有一项是多余选项。
