The measure(衡量) of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. — Thomas Macaulay(麦考莱）
Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nantette O’Neill gave a maths 16 to our class. When the papers were 17 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes in the test.
There is nothing really new about cheating(作弊) in exams. Perhaps that was 18 Mrs. O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 19 after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs. O’Neill asked 20 questions, and she did not scold(批评) us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 21 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 22 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for 23 I can say: it was the most important single 24 of my life. Thirty years after being 25 to Macaulay’s words, they still seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a 26 to measure ourselves rather than others.
27 of us are asked to made great decisions about nations going to war or armies going to fight. But all of us are called upon 28 to make a great many personal decisions. Should the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman? Should the extra change received at the store be forgotten or 29 ? Nobody will know except 30 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always better to live with someone you respect.
16. A. lesson B. problem     C. paper  D. test
17. A. handed B. completed  C. marked      D. answered
18. A. why      B. how C. what   D. which
19. A. come     B. leave   C. remain       D. remind
20. A. no  B. certain       C. many  D. more
21. A. common     B. above      C. following   D. unusual
22. A. repeat   B. get      C. put     D. copy
23. A. myself  B. ourselves    C. themselves  D. herself
24. A. chance  B. event     C. lesson D. memory
25. A.mentioned B. shown C. brought      D. introduced
26. A. decision     B. method      C. choice D. reason
27. A. All       B. Few    C. Some  D. None
28. A. daily    B. weekly  C. monthly   D. yearly

Comfort Zone(舒适区) is a state of mind where there is the least stress. However, stepping into the learning zone can help to bring out the best in us. Here are the reasons.
▲ Challenging yourself can help you do at your best.
Stepping outside one’s comfort zone is important to personal development. How can we expect to make ourselves better if we only stick to habit and routine (日常)? We should try something we might not succeed at.
▲Taking risks is what helps us grow.
As children, we’re natural risk-takers. But as we get older and learn to fear failure, we start trying fewer new things. We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure. There is no learning without some difficulty.
▲Facing new challenges can help us age better.
Our comfort zones seem to become smaller as we get older—but if we can keep expanding them, we’ll open ourselves up to a greater world as we age. As we step into the learning zone, we will get more comfortable with the skills gradually and we’ll start to move into the comfort zone. A study found that learning new life skills can help our brain stay sharp (敏锐的) as we get older.
However, don’t push yourself too far. Have you heard of "Yerkes-Dodson Law"? It means performance(表现) increases as stress grows, but only up to a point. If the level of stress becomes too high, performance will go down. When stress becomes too great for us to deal with, we enter the danger zone.
36. Compared with the comfort zone, people in the learning zone may ____________.
A. feel less stress B. face more challenges
C. make fewer efforts D. refuse more changes
37. From paragraph 3, we will learn less if we ________________.
A. spend money B. fear failure C. take risks D. feel natural
38. What does the underlined word “expanding” mean in paragraph 4?
A. 缩小 B. 消灭 C. 扩大 D. 享受
39. "Yerkes-Dodson Law" can be described by Graph ____________.

40. The best title of the passage might be ______________.
A. Comfort Zone Makes Us Safe B. What Is Comfort Zone
C. Step Outside Comfort Zone D. Never Fear Comfort Zone

Hanukkah(光明节) ,the Festival of Lights, is celebrated with zeal (热情) by the Jewish people around the world.

At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candle stick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles. On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people go to the synagogue (犹太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇迹) of the holy oil. Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together.They exchange gifts and greeting cards as well.Children always have a very good time at Hanukkah. Potato cakes, called latkes, are a traditional Hanukkah food.

Communication is important for harmonious (和谐的) family relationships. However, if you don’t truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate. Following the listening skills below may be helpful to your communication.
Listening Actively
Focus on the speaker’s words and not what you’ll say next. When talking to someone, pay attention to the speaker and his thoughts. You can think of how you will reply later.
Make sure the speaker has finished talking before you talk. Instead of starting your reply at once, it’s not a bad thing to keep silent for seconds.
Communicating Effectively (有效的)
Repeat what has been said. Try to make a short summary (总结) of what you’ve heard when the speaker finishes. It will show you’re listening and make you and your family communicate better.
Reflect on what’s been said. After talking, reflect on the subject. Try to work out not just what’s being said, but also why it is important.
Avoiding Bad Habits
Do not cut in on others. It can break effective conversation. Do not start talking until the other person has finished.
Do not change the subject early. Never change the subject before the speaker has got their words out, even if you are not interested in the subject.
Never offer advice. Unless you are asked do not offer advice. Offering advice can make it seem like you’re not really listening but to hear what you want. Accept you don’t always have to solve someone’s problems.
