Rules of Body Language in an Interview ‎ B Are you bad at math? If you answer yes, consider this question: Are you bad at math because you didn't study hard enough to learn the material or because you lack the ability to be good at it?‎ As it turns out, many children believe that they don't do well on math tests because they're intellectually incapable (无能的) of understanding the material. They have no reason to try harder, thus trapping them in a state of being bad at math.‎ Educators Miles Kimball and Noah Smith argue that this is a big problem, “Math is the great mental subject of an unconfident America. If we can convince you that anyone can learn math, it should be a short step to convincing you that you can learn just about anything, if you work hard enough.”‎ Psychologist Carol Dweck took on the task of convincing a group of students that if they worked hard they could become smarter. The truly remarkable part of that study was not that the kids improved and earned higher grades; it was that Dweck noted that a few of the tough boys in the group were brought to tears, learning that the level of intelligence they could reach was limitless — it was entirely up to them.‎ Of course, not all of us will become genius mathematicians, but the majority of us can become skilled and maybe even good at math. As Mashable points out, while dyscalculia (计算障碍), a math disability, is a real thing, only 6 percent of the population is likely to have it. For the rest of us, it's a confidence problem, or a lack of belief that with hard work, we'll improve. Thankfully, we now know better, and we can pass on that_information to the next generation.‎ ‎24．According to Miles Kimball and Noah Smith, ________．‎ A．math is a big problem to deal with B． one can learn anything as long as he works hard C．math is an important subject at school D．most Americans don't like math at all ‎ ‎25．In Carol Dweck's study, the students ________．‎ A．passed the tests easily B．became good at math soon C．didn't get higher grades in the test D．know their intelligence depends on themselves ‎26．What does the underlined part “that information” refer to?‎ A．Math disability doesn't really exist.‎ B．Confidence is important in one's life. ‎ C．Math cannot be ignored at any time.‎ D．Everyone is likely to learn math well.‎ ‎27.Why do most children can’t study math well?‎ A.They are stupid. B. They have math disability.‎ C.They lack confidence. D.They have a bad habit of studying.‎ C My students often tell me that they do not have "enough time" to do all their homework. My response often is “You have as much time as the president." I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that "not enough time" is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.‎ Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to my professor that I was working hard. His answer was "That's irrelevant (不相干).What's important is the quality of your work.” That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work, which is perhaps best explained in a sign: "Don't work harder. Work smarter."‎ If you can't get more time, as few of us can, the only solution is to improve the ‎ quality of your work. That means improving ways to get more out of the same time. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits, which for students should be read as "study habits".‎ Then as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you can, it will pay off in all your subjects.‎ As to improving reading, one suggestion is to take a quick nap when you feel reading puts you to sleep, which later helps you read better. The second solution is to speed up.‎ But there are other issues. First, you need to find a place where you can work without unnecessary disturbances. Second, you need to take control. Success depends on realizing that you have to take active control over what you are doing. Third, you might as well get hold of a good book on reading and master the reading skills that pay off in all your classes.‎ Talking about advice on good writing habits, you simply have to master the writing skills. ‎ Increasing your efficiency in both reading and writing will pay off immediately in terms of the quality of your work and in terms of the time spent doing it. Then you will be able to do better work in less time. And maybe you will find time to play golf with the president.‎ ‎28.  What's the main idea of the passage?‎ A. In fact, everyone has as much time as the president.‎ B. Not having enough time is unacceptable for unfinished work.‎ C. Reading and writing matter a lot in finishing homework.‎ D. The key to having enough time is to improve work quality ‎29.   According to the author, the students do not have enough time to get their work done mainly because    ______.‎ A. they are not good at writing ‎ B. they only have 24 hours a day C. they feel sleepy while reading D. they lack good learning habits ‎30.  The author believes a most important way for a student to improve work quality is to______.‎ A.  take control over his or her work ‎ B.   find a quiet place to read and write C.   improve reading and writing skills D.   read and write in all classes ‎31. According to the passage, "Don't work harder" means that ______ .‎ A.   one should not be more devoted to one's work B.   working harder is not the key point in work ‎ C.   working harder is not allowed in our daily life D.  one should not spend more time in working D Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel ‎ for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children. ‎ During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport. ‎ He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one. ‎ Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath. ‎ ‎ My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents(文件). Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend. ‎ That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way. ‎ ‎32. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?‎ A. Go shopping B. Take a vacation　‎ C. Join his family D. Find a house ‎33. The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_______. ‎ A. a friend of his family B. a Sydney policeman C. a letter in his papers  D. a stranger in Sydney ‎34.

From India to Australia.  B． Turning Trash to Treasure. ‎ C. Living in a NewCoun try.   D. In Search of New Friends. ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ 第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ We’ve always been fascinated by consistently successful people. Most of them were not born into success. And they simply continue to do things that help them realize their full potential. 36 ‎ ‎• Create and pursue goals. Successful people are objective. 37 They know what they are looking for and why they are fighting for it. Successful people always create and pursue their goals.‎ ‎• Take decisive and immediate action. Sadly, very few people ever live to become ‎ the success story they dream about. 38 You can’t change anything or make any sort of real-world progress without taking action.
