21、   Why are some people successful and others aren't? What's the secret of success?【1】

Many of Gladwell's ideas appear in his social psychology bestsellr Outliers.【2】Gladwell thinks that this is just an excuse for not trying...and if you really want to be good at something. you have to work at it.“Practice isn’t the thing you do once you re good." Gladwell writes.“It's the thing you do that makes you good."

Central to the book is the“10.000-hour rule". It means that if you want to be among the best in the world, you need to practise something for 10.000 hours.【3】For example, the Beatles played live in Hamburg more than 1.200 times between 1960 and 1964. which is more than 10,000 hours of playing time. And when Microsoft chairman Bill Gates was 13, he was given access to a high school computer (one of the few available in the country) allowing him to practise computer programming for more than (Yes, you guessed it) 10, 000 hours.

The interesting thing is that success has nothing to do with intelligence.【4】He's got an IQ of between 195 and 210 (Albert Einstein's IQ was estimated to have been between 160 and 180). As a boy at school, Langan was able to take an exam in a foreign language he d never studied and pass it after just skim-reading a text book for three minutes. However, Langan never graduated from university and worked in labour-intensive jobs his whole life. This proves that intelligence alone will not lead to success- you need hard work, support, finance and opportunities. Gladwell adds,“No one一not rock stars, not professional athletes, not software billionaires, and not even geniuses一ever makes it alone."

【5】Even after you've put in your 10.000 hours of practice, you still need one other key ingredient - - luck. So, you could be the most amazing guitarist in the world. but unless you re lucky enough to play in front of a record company executive who sees a way of exploiting that talent, you aren't going to be seeing your name in lights.

A.It isn't just a question of time and support.

B.Author Malcolm Gladwell thinks he knows.

C.That's equal to three hours a day for 10 years.

D.Of course, many people argue that you can create your own“'luck".

E.The popular view is that some of us are born talented and others aren't.

F.Take the example of Christopher Langan, who's mentioned in the book.

G.Someone who's willing to practise something for 10.000 hours is probably active.

22、   An unopened letter that was mailed back in 1697 but never delivered has been read by researchers who have developed a way to virtually “unfold” sealed letter packages without having to actually break the seal.

The new technique, described in the journal Nature Communications, should allow historians to learn more about “letterlocking”, the practice of turning a flat sheet of paper with a written message into a tamper-resistant (防篡改) package.

Such security measures were an everyday part of life for centuries. “As we know, the gummed (涂胶的) envelope, wasn’t invented until the 1830s,” says Jana Dambrogio, a conservator with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Libraries.

Letterlocking hasn’t gotten much attention until recently, however, and in the past, the person who managed documents would open locked letters by simply cutting them. “What do we lose when we open the unopened?” asks Dambrogio, who was fascinated to learn of a 17th century postmaster’s trunk from The Hague in the Netherlands that contained 577 unopened letter packets.

Dambrogio and a team of researchers now say they’ve managed to read one of these unopened Renaissance letters, with the help of a medical scanner. “It was originally designed to study teeth. It’s this really high-resolution (高分辨率的) X-ray scanner,” says Amanda Ghassaei, who explains that the device can create a detailed three-dimensional X-ray image of a folded letter. Because the inks used back then contain a lot of metal, says Ghassaei, the writing “shows up as a very bright region on the scan, kind of like the way that your bone would show up really bright on an X-ray.”

The unopened 1697 letter from the postmaster’s trunk has an especially lovely folding pattern, says Dambrogio, even though the letter’s contents make it clear that it’s just an ordinary bit of family business.

“They revealed the text, which was wonderful. To do that without opening the letter is itself a sort of miracle, which I love,” says Brent Seales.

【1】What do we know about “letterlocking”?

A．It was a way to write coded letters.

B．It was only daily used by scholars.

C．It was applied to making envelops.

D．It was used for a long time.

【2】Why is X-ray scanner possible to read the unopened Renaissance letters?

A．Because the letter was written with inks containing a lot of metal.

B．Because the scanner can create a rough three-dimensional image.

C．Because the paper used to write the letter has a very bright region.

D．Because the scanner was first invented to check bone in hospitals.

【3】What does Brent Seales think of Dambrogio’s work?

A．Impossible.

B．Impressive.

C．Ordinary.

D．Questionable .

【4】What may be the best title for the text?

A．Reading a Letter Without Opening It.

B．Inventing a New Writing Technique.

C．Designing a New Medical Scanner.

D．Discovering Unopened Letter Packets.

23、Science shows that stretching isn’t actually literal — you’re not even “stretching” your muscles at all. 【1】. It does wonders for both your joints and your muscles. What’s more, stretching helps your blood flow, reduces your risk of injury, helps you lose weight, and even relieves your stress. So what if you don’t do stretching after exercise?

⚫ You could feel sick

You won’t be surprised to know that when you exercise, you raise your heart rate for a period of time. 【2】, experts will tell you that it’s just as important to “get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over.” This is also known in the fitness world as “cooling down.”

“After physical activity, your heart is still beating faster than normal, your body temperature is higher and your blood vessels are dilated,” write the health experts at the American Heart Association. “This means if you stop too fast, you could pass out or feel sick. 【3】. ”

⚫ Your muscles will likely become stiffer and more sore

When you exercise your muscles, it produces an inflammatory response in the form of lactic acid, which is actually what causes your muscles to become sore. When you rest — or “recover” — in the time between bouts of exercise, your body naturally breaks down and gets rid of that lactic acid. One thing that helps your body dispose of that lactic acid? 【4】. Stretching helps your distribute oxygen       throughout your body and muscles, which, according the Healthline, “can reduce lactic acid production and rid your muscles of any accumulation of lactic acid. ”

⚫ 【5】

Having poor flexibility isn’t good for your body. According to the experts in the sports medicine department at UC Davis Health, inflexibility will cause you to have muscles that tire quicker and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury, and your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. In the case of the latter, it’s why people often feel stiffness and pain in their “weight bearing” joints, such as the knees and hips. And sticking to stretching exercise after physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility.

A．You’ll be at risk of injury

B．You guessed it: Stretching

C．While it’s great to get that blood flowing

D．You have to improve your flexibility by stretching

E．If you want some clever ways to work your muscles more every day

F．A cool­down after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the episode

G．In fact, the true purpose of stretching is to lengthen and mobilize the connective tissue around your muscle

24、Dear Ms. Wang,

I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my composition course and Latin course next year.

I’ve decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course. I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuouslywas important to them.

So next academic year, Term 1 will be like always: sentences to paragraphing. And Term 2 will work toward the 5-paragraph essay. The final 3 weeks of Term 2 will be reserved tointroduce writing for TOEFL and CEE. By that time, if the students have done their job correctly, then they should be able to write quite well.

As for the Latin course, I will post notices around campus next week so that the students will understand what’s on offer before I actually introduce the course. A number of students already emailed me about the course.

I am sure you don’t understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is. People around the world are interested in what we plan to do. There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course. Please share what I have said with the administration. I want them to understand the importance of this course. The reason I have contacted these colleagues (actually Oxford contacted me) isthatI have confidence in our students and in myself. I know that when those professors meet our students and hear them speaking and reading Latin, they are going to be amazed. It will open all sorts of doors for students that they never even thought of knocking on.

Well, that’s it for now. I’ll see you soon.

Yours,

Edward Johnson

25、Every year, around 20,000 American teenagers age out of foster care (寄养) at 18, and have to start their lives by themselves.

Ella first became aware of foster care when her parents were considering adopting a child. Although the _______ didn’t work out, Ella often found herself thinking about that child. “I’m really close with my family, and just couldn’t imagine being _______ on my own at 18,” she says.

Later, Ella visited Children Services, with a list of questions, trying to _______ what aging out looked like. One question was “What’s not being _______ for these young people?”.
