3 . Walking through a local park recently, I saw a teenage boy wearing a T-shirt that read: “Effort wins over talent. ” It reminded me of an idea I think about often, that if you believe you can learn new things and develop new skills, by working hard, you are more likely to achieve those goals. This critical insight was brought up by Dr. Carol Dweck, a Stanford University psychologist, as a “growth mindset”.

According to Dr. Dweck’s research, “talent is not fixed.” Studies by Dweck and others have shown students who have a fixed mindset see new learning experiences as a moment to be judged, not an opportunity to learn. This can make learning a painful struggle, leading many to give up. Students who have a growth mindset, on the other hand, experience challenges as the way to learn and improve. They see hard work as being about learning. Overall, they learn and achieve at higher levels, even when they start out at the same place as those with fixed mindsets.

While Dweck identified growth mindset more than a decade ago, her insights were not made up. They have since been backed up by brain science, made possible by new technology that allows researchers to see images of the brain at work. Studies show that, when a person responds to new and difficult material by engaging in a struggle to learn, the neurons in their brain grow.

Believing that you can grow your abilities through effort—that talent is not fixed—is crucial(要的). As Dweck puts it in her TED talk, we need to focus on showing young people the "Power of Yet” meaning, I haven't learned this yet, or I'm not good at this yet.

Growth mindset is an important idea for educators and schools, but it's also a powerful tool that everyone can use to help themselves to learn and achieve at high levels.

1. What does the underlined word “insight” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．Scenery.	B．Research.
C．Question.	D．Idea.

2. How is paragraph 2 mainly developed?

A．By making comparisons.	B．By giving explanations.
C．By listing examples.	D．By describing details.

3. Which of the following statements shows growth mindset?

A．“Wow, you are really gifted in maths.”	B．“I just don't understand it yet.”
C．“You are a clever student.”	D．“My talents determine everything.”

4. What will the author probably discuss next?

A．Why to develop a better mindset.	B．When to obtain a better mindset.
C．How to apply the growth mindset.	D．Where to learn the growth mindset.

4 . No doubt there are ups and downs in life. Whatever the situation is, you shouldn’t lose your joy of life. Life is for a limited period only and no one knows how long he/she will live, so why do you waste your precious time in worrying about the things that are beyond your control? Be happy, and enjoy your life unconditionally (无条件地).

You enjoy good days but you also need to learn how to enjoy bad days, even enjoy your pain. In 2016 when I was in Geneva, Switzerland, I suffered a sudden heart attack. My colleagues called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital with much pain in my chest. Before reaching hospital, I was totally exhausted with pain and was going to lose control of my emotions. Then the doctor in the ambulance said, “Don’t worry; you are in safe hands.” His words took away all my pain because I started realizing that it was no time to worry about pain and it’s time to be happy that my life was safe. At that time, I learnt an important lesson that in pain there is a hidden joy and whoever sees the bright side can enjoy pain. My pain turned into a joy which greatly helped me recover more quickly than expected.

You not only enjoy success but you also need to learn to enjoy failure. Failure provides you with an opportunity to benefit from so many choices you’ve made. Celebrating failure will raise your morale and make you more powerful and determined to achieve success. We all make mistakes in life but only the courageous (勇敢的) people not only laugh at their own mistakes but also let other people laugh at them and then they reach success without any spiritual burden (负担). A person who learns from mistakes and knows how to turn the bad situation into his/her favor is the most intelligent person and really enjoys his/her life.

1. What does the author mainly tell us in the first paragraph?

A．Life is full of ups and downs.	B．People’s lives only last a limited period.
C．We should enjoy our life unconditionally.	D．Bad situations can be changed into good ones.

A．His colleagues were always with him.

B．He could be looked after by his parents.

C．He planned to enjoy the last days in life.

D．His doctor made him realize the value of being alive.

3. The underlined word “morale” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”.

A．talent	B．confidence
C．pleasure	D．inspiration

4. The author thinks that the wisest person________.

A．never laughs at others	B．has strong determination
C．is ready to do others a favor	D．is good at learning from mistakes

5 . Mother Teresa and I were deeply engaged in this close conversation when we were_____ by loud voices coming from down the hall.

First I smelled them, then heard them: middle aged couple, both very tall, very large, very ____ perfumed and clearly very rich. With no greeting at all, the woman shoved (推挤) a ____ into my hand. She and her husband   ____   Mother Teresa from her chair and situated her against the wall between them. Then they   _____ like giant bookends on either side of Mother Teresa or       ____   a photograph.

As I snapped the photo, without hesitation the woman put her     _____     under Mother Teresa’s chin and forced it up. Shocked that anyone should     ______ Mother Teresa that way.

She said that they need as much compassion as anyone else on earth.

I thought back and realized that Mother Teresa had had no   _____ with the wealthy couple. To her, they deserve   _____ love, no less and no more than the orphans in her   _____ , and she had treated them with love and respect.

7 . Money can buy happiness.     1    What would bring you greater, longer-lasting happiness: purchasing an expensive item you've been eyeing or booking the vacation you've been dreaming about?

    2    New things are exciting to us at first, but then we adapt to them. Over time, the satisfaction with material objects decreased. Even though new cars may make us happy in the short-term, the freshness quickly wears off.

Spending money on experiences-travel, outdoor activities, concerts, classes, movies-brings us more joy than buying material things. One reason is that our experiences are a bigger part of our identity than our possessions. You can really like your material stuff. You can even think that part of your identity is connected to those things.       3    

In contrast, your experiences really are part of you. We are the sum total of our experiences.

Another reason we value experiences even after they're over is that even negative experiences can become positive over time.     4    Why? Because even unpleasant experiences can later become funny stories or be looked at as character-building opportunities.

Shared experiences are also looked upon more favorably because they connect us to others more than shared consumption does. We feel more connected to people who have also backpacked through Europe than people who happen to have purchased the same iPhone.     5    

A．But how you spend it matters.

B．Yet they remain separate from you.

C．You could use the material item every day.

D．One of the enemies of happiness is adaptation.

E．Just talking about them made their evaluation improve.

F．Spending money on experiential purchases makes people more generous.

G．If weighing your options, buying experience promises promotion of well-being.

8 . When I was 17, I paid a long visit to Iowa to see a college I was thinking of attending. While the _______ was fun for the most part, I was feeling depressed and   _______.

I loved how the leaves turned a thousand _______ of green in spring and then became a sea of colors in autumn. I loved the   _______ of the forget-me-nots and countless wild flowers that grew on the hillsides.

Here in Iowa everything was _______. The grass looked brown and _______. All that I could smell was a_______ of corn, mud, and pigs. One day I lay down on the ground. Eyes closed, I ________ being back home over and over again. When I ________ opened them, however, I saw something that ________ my soul: a prairie (草原) sunset.

10 . I looked down, immediately closed my eyes and hung to the wall of rock with fear. Fifty feet below me, the brightly colored helmets of my team spread across the rocky floor. I looked behind me and my stomach rolled as I thought of the dangerous large rock.

Backpacking in Death Valley for a month exposed me to a number of new experiences. Out there I was pushed, challenged, and dared to be something bigger than myself. Death Valley removed all my barriers so I could reach out freely to find that deeper meaning I could be truly passionate about.

More than anything else, the unexpected aspects of the desert inspired me to appreciate the wonders of life. The first night out there, I was astonished by the brilliance of the stars. Out in the desert these extremely small winks of light were brighter and more wonderful than I had ever seen them before. After that, I started to notice small beauties: the rose, the patterns in the walls of Marble Canyon.

I saw the part I had played in this group. I looked back at myself, the stranger I had been merely days before, and became aware of how self-absorbed (自恋的) I was. I never truly saw the impact I had on my environment because of the constant flow of material goods. Camping with limited resources made evident that waste of water, space, and material goods ignores our responsibilities to our earth. Understanding that this planet is affected negatively or positively by the things we do convinced me to become involved in conservation efforts for the rest of my life. It is this passion for environmental sustainability (可持续性) that I brought back from Death Valley. In sharing what I saw, I hope to influence others to act to take care of our environment.

Hours later, I looked back at the steep rock I had covered. It was this kind of natural beauty, that first inspired me. I feel a greater bond with them now that they have arisen as the basis of my lifelong goal.
