A
When you set a foot outside of your door to drop trash, go to a social event or go for a walk, thoughts like “I hope I don't see anyone I know”or“please don't talk to me”may run through your mind. I've also said such things to myself. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is to talk with someone, especially someone new.
Why do we go out of our ways to avoid people Do we think meeting new people is a waste of time Or a e we just laz , thinking that meeting someone new really is a trouble
Communication is the key to life. We have been told that many times. Take the past generations, like our parents, for example. They seem to take full advantage of that whole“communication” idea because they grew up talking face to face whileGeneration-Y grew up staring at screens. We spend hours of our days sitting onFacebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people and that we don't have the courage to do in reality.
Nowadays, we are so caught up in our little circle of friends—our comfort zone.We love it that they laugh at our jokes, understand our feelings and can read our minds. Most importantly, they know when we want to be alone. They just get us.
Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don't really believe and being someone you think they want you to be—it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.
But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people
you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, every“hello”leads to a smile—and a smile is worth a lot.

What kind of people can become scientists When a group of researchers posed that question to ninth- and 10th-graders, almost every student gave such responses as“People who work hard”or“Anyone who seems interested in the field of science.”Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as“I'm not good at science” and“Even if I work hard, I will not do well.”It's easy for them to see a scientist's work as arising from an inborn talent.
But for high school students, learning more about some struggles of scientists can help students feel more motivated to learn science. Researchers at the University of Washington designed an intervention(干预) to change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement depends on ability rather than effort by exposing(使接触)students to stories of how accomplished( 有 造 诣 的 ) scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.
During the study, the students read one of three types of stories about AlbertEinstein, Marie Curie and Michael Faraday. Intellectual(智力的) struggle stories:stories about how scientists“struggled intellectually,”such as making mistakes while solving a scientific problem and learning from them. Life struggle stories: stories about how scientists struggled in their personal lives, such as not giving up in the face of poverty or lack of family support. Achievement stories: stories about how scientists made great discoveries, without any discussion of challenges.
Researchers found that students who heard either type of“struggle stories”improved their after-intervention science performance, compared to students in the control group. The effect was especially pronounced for lower performing students,for whom exposure to struggling stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories. In addition,students who read struggle stories reported feeling more personally connected to the scientists. By recognizing a scientist's struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize with the scientists during their own struggles.
19. Why do students fail to imagine themselves as scientists
A. They are short of confidence.
B. They lack interest in science.
C. They don't have inborn talent.
D. They have no ability to study science.
20. What's the purpose of the intervention
A. To introduce some inspirational stories to students.
B. To expose students to scientists'great achievements.
C. To ensure students will become scientists in the future.
D. To clear students'misunderstandings of scientific work.
21. What does the underlined word“pronounced” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Important. B. Noticeable.
C. Strange. D. Long-lasting.
22.What can we learn from the research
A. Science ability has nothing to do with fforts.
B. Students are more motivated by achievement stories.
C. Scientists'struggle stories can influence readers' beliefs.
D. Low-performing students tend to feel connected to scientists.
C
In a classic episode(片段) of The Simpsons, Homer's class ·reunion ends in shame when one of Homer's guilty secrets is exposed: he never graduated from high school. To get his diploma(毕业证书), he must pass a science test. As he sits down to retake the exam, he holds a dialogue with his brain.“All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you. But let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer.”
Many a true word is spoken as a joke. Homer Simpson's Everyman character really is an Everyman. For most people, engaging in the kind of effortful thinking that is required to pass a science test feeIs too much like hard work. It is so much easier to quit and let the brain's autopilot take over.
And no wonder. Evolution has blessed the human brain with all kinds of mental.shortcuts that make life manageable. If we had to think about every action or weigh up every decision, we would break down. As a result, certain ideas and modes of thinking come naturally to us, such as effortless thinking.
But at huge cost. Our men tal shortcuts work fine at the level of individuals and small-scale societies, but in an increasingly interconnected and globalized world,they are a danger to society. Effortless thinking is at the root of many of the modern world's most serious problems: terrorism, hatred, inequality and religious extremism.All are caused by people disengaging their critical(批判性的) thinking and going with their gut(非理性的) feeling.
Everybody is capable of gut feeling, but also of the critical thinking. Both thinking styles are needed to make the world go round. Unfortunately, the latter requires training that is unavailable or unappealing to many people.
One of the bright spots in 2017 was the start of a movement called the March ForScience. Those who believe in the power of science need to keep on marching, or give more power to people who don't much like their own brains -- or other people's.
23. What does the author want to convey through Homer's story
A. Feeling is very important.
B. Drinking beer is harmful to one's brain.
C. Most people hate effortful thinking like Homer.
D. High school seniors should work hard.
24. What can we learn from Paragraph four
A. Gut thinking is expensive for people.
B. Some people are only able to have gut thinking.
C. Critical thinking is better than effortless thinking.
D. People prefer effortless thinking to critical thinking.
25. What does the author think of critical thinking
A. It makes the world go round.
B. It leads to the March For Science in 2017.
C. It works fine at the level of personal affairs.
D. It needs necessary training.
26. What is the best title for the text
A. Critical Thinking Is Urgently Needed
B. We Need to March towards Science
C. Effortless Thinking Is out of Date
D. Thinking Contributes to Social Problems
