balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most of myself at your age was not poverty,but failure.The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure,you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.Steve Jobs,Stanford UniversitySometimes life’s going to hit you in

deaths could be avoided according to the scientists.For the health of the planet,they say the same diet will reduce (减少) greenhouse gases and save more land,water and animals.This new food plan is the result of a three-year project organized by The Lancet health journal.Tim Lang,a professor at Britain’s University of London.He said,“The food we eat and how we produce it decide the health of people and the planet.”Lang added,“The world’s population is expected to grow to 10 billion people by 2050.If we want to feed everyone,we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by improving food production and reducing food waste.”So,what do you eat on the “planetary health”diet?The scientists who created the “planetary health”diet say it is largely plant-based but still has a little milk,fish and meat.The diet calls for cutting down red meat and sugar by 50 percent and increasing nuts,fruits,and vegetable.Walter Willet of Harvard University in the United States also talked about the “planetary health”diet.He said,“More than 800 million people around the world do not get enough food while many more people have very unhealthy diets.”The scientists think it difficult to reach their aim.But for them,doing nothing is also not a choice.Willet said,“If we can’t make the best diet,it’s better to try and get as close as we can.”12.What decides the health of people and the planet according to Tim Lang?A.The taste of the food.B.The number of population.C.The climate and our living conditions.D.The food we eat and the way we produce it.13.What does the “planetary health”diet

The story has since been used as a warning by parents to stop their children from __1__(lie).But believe it or not, this old fairy tale has some truth in it, because a new study shows that your nose can give you away if you lie. However, instead of growing longer, researchers say our noses heat up if we tell tall tales.Live Science reported that __2__ the change of body temperature is difficult to see with the naked eye, heat cameras can help us identify it. Researchers from the University of Granada in Spain introduced thermographic (热感成像的) cameras into their experiment. These kind of cameras were first used in wars to search for people because it can detect (探测) the heat _3___ (come)from human bodies. This is the first time that it _4____ (use) in psychological (心理学的) research.__5__(watch) the participants through the thermographic camera, researchers soon noticed the temperature change on their faces ---– when they told a lie, their nose started to heat up, as well as the muscles around the inner corner of their eyes.

Here’s ___6__it works: The insula controls both our emotion (情绪) and body temperature. When we lie about our feelings, the insula is activated (激活), _7___(cause) our face temperature to rise, especially around our nose.In fact, the “Pinocchio effect”, ___8___ it has been called, is just a part of the researchers’ study about how our body temperature changes with our mental states. Empathy (移情作用), for example, can also be detected this way.In the experiment, researchers showed a video of a person __9__(get) an electric shock in thearm. Among all the people __10__ watched this video, researchers found that those who were highly empathic would get hotter in their arms.

Six months later, 20 more were added. The hope is to finally expand the program to 56 100 bikes and more parking station.As the need for the program increases, Big Red Bikes is working in a highly democratic manner to determine how to expand the program. The organization sent out a campus-wide 57 to decide where to put future parking stations and get advice on bike models. For example, the second 20-bike addition has a 58 different model and includes a basket.Though it is only a campus-wide program at present, it could contribute to a larger national 59 . Boris Suchkov, the finance director of Big Red Bikes, explained, “When graduates go to live somewhere else, they have this expectation that biking should be a part of life.” He added, “We believe that students who are 60 to an environmentally sustainable transport systemduring their college years will be more likely to 61 and need sustainable systems of all kinds in the future.”III.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AI was impressed by a lecture presented by a famous memory expert, Ron White. Ron started the lecture by having 250 people in attendance get up from their seats. He then asked everyone to take off the name tags they were issued when they entered the lecture hall and put them away for a moment.Ron then went around the room and addressed each person individually by name and asked them to take a seat!How did Ron know the names of the 250 people in attendance? He had learned them all in 45 minutes while walking around the room, reading name tags. And, to be honest, he probably didn’t need that long.Ron is a two-time national memory champion, winning the USA Memory Championship in 2009 and 2010. He holds the record for being the fastest to memorize a deck of shuffled (打乱的) cards in only 1 minute and 27 seconds.His secret is similar to what Dale Carnegie talks about in his book, How to Develop Self-confidence & Influence People by Public Speaking, where he says the “natural laws of remembering” are impression, repetition and association.The basis for this method involves associating pictures with names and numbers that you can easily recall. For example, for the number “ten”, associate a picture of something that sounds like “ten”, such as a “hen” or “pen”. Then imagine that the tenth item you have to recall is a windmill (风车). To associate the name, do not think of the word “ten” at all. Instead, imagine a fantastic image in your mind of a hen sitting on a windmill, or a windmill pumping ink to fill the pen.When you are asked what the tenth object was called, don’t think of “ten”, but rather, ask yourself where the hen was sitting, or picture ink spewing (喷涌) out of the top of the windmill and flowing into the top of the pen.The study of memory is a fascinating subject and one that will serve you well if you put in some time reading up on the techniques to develop it.77. The author was impressed by the memory expert because ___________.A. he had the habit of remembering people’s namesB. he started the lecture by asking the audience to get upC. he asked the audience to put away their name tagsD. he learned the names of the audience in just 45 minutes78. What can we learn about Ron White from the passage?A. He is as famous as Dale Carnegie.B. He has written a book about how to remember cards quickly.C. He won the USA Memory Championship twice.D. He is proud of impressing people with his talent.79. What is the key step in the process of association?A. Think of the names to remember in your mind.B. Imagine the names and numbers to be simple things.C. Repeat the names and numbers as much as possible.D. Associate fantastic images that sound like the names and numbers.80. What will the author probably discuss in the following paragraph?A. The benefits of mastering the techniques to develop memory.B. A comment by the famous memory expert.C. How the memory theory influences people.D. The popularity of the national memory championship.BParents caught lying to the authorities to get their children into top state schools will have their children’s places automatically withdrawn under new rules.Officials will investigate at least 10% of applications to root out cheating, and set up a hotline for parents to report their doubts about other families. If a family moves within the year of making an application, officials will make an re-examination of the case to check if they have given false information about where they live in order to get into a top-performance nearby school.Officials said that parents should sign a statement, promising their application was truthful after being given clear warnings. If cheating was detected, the child’s place would be withdrawn immediately.Officials statistics published by the Department for Children, Schools and Families today showed that one in six children in England did not get into their first choice secondary school. In total 83.2% of families were given a place at their top preferred school on National Offer Day earlier this month, which is unchanged from last year. But there were huge regional differences around the country – in London and Birmingham, only 66% got their first choice school. Some 94.9% of children got a place at one of their top three preferred schools, which is slightly up from last year.Officials also recommended a media campaign to point out that lying to get a place is not a victimless crime. Educators estimated that only a tiny minority of parents applied dishonestly, and they commented that every place gained by cheating is denying another child his rightful place. No child should be punished for his parents’ actions, but neither should families on waiting lists be unfairly disadvantaged or delayed.81. If you suspect someone has used false information in their application, you can ___________A. re-examined the case and check it out.B. report it to the related schoolC. ask to withdraw the child’s placeD. dial a special phone number82. It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that ______________.A. far more children can go to their first preferred school than beforeB. children in big cities have more chances of attending satisfying schools.C. the application situations differ in different parts of BritainD. 94.9 % of children have the chance to go to their top preferred school83. The underlined part “lying to get a place is not a victimless crime”in the last paragraphmeans _____________.A. what liars get is at the cost of others’ rightB. people who lie to get a place are criminalsC. schools should have liars’ places withdrawnD. children should be punished for their parents’ deeds84. Why did the author write the text?A. To introduce the overall situation of school applications in Britain.B. To summarize application methods for preferred schools.C. To stress the negative consequences of lying.D. To remind people that dishonesty in school applications will be punished.CWarmer weather will most likely make it impossible for polar bears to survive on the shores of Hudson’s Bay, Canada, in 20 to 30 years. So says the worlds’ best-known polar bear expert, Ian Stirling, who has studied polar bears as a biologist for 41 years – longer than anyone else in the field.“It’s not speculation (猜测),”said Stirling. “By the middle of the century, we’re likely to have lost two thirds of the worl d’s polar bears.”While Stirling has little hope for the bears of Hudson’s Bay, he remains optimistic that Canadians can save the majestic species living farther north by taking action on climate change.The loss of Arctic ice is the main threat to Canada’s southern-most polar bear populations. An estimated 1,600 bears live in the region, according to satellite images. Stirling said, “That’s faster than most scientific models predicted.”Since his first visit in 1970 to Churchill, Canada’s polar bear hub for tourists and scientists alike, the ice has progressively melted earlier and frozen later. Without ice floes (冰川), the bears have no platform from which to hunt their meal of choice — the ringed seal. Larger bears can snag the occasional walrus (海象) on land, but the entire population can’t get by without seals.The most crucial feeding time for the bears is between early April and July when the ringed seals are young, unaware and easier to catch. Bears gain up to 70 per cent of their yearly energy during this period, so it can be deadly when it’s cut short by three weeks, Stirling said.W hen they’re starving,they go searching for an alternate foo d source, and that’s mainly going to be human settlements,” said Stirling. The majority of these hostile interactions happen in Churchill, where a polar bear jail has been set up to hold aggressive bears.Stirling said, “Canada is home to more than 60 per cent of the world’s estimated 25,000 polar bears. Studying them throws light on the entire Arctic ecosystem. They’re a fantastic part of biodiversity of the planet. “If Canadians don’t care about what’s happening in the Arctic in general and polar bears i n particular, then why should the rest of the world care?”85.
