As I had grown up in Belgium, going to university in the UK made me feel lost and lonely. Although I was struggling, I felt unable to share how I was feeling with anyone and didn’t know where I could turn for support.
Things were getting harder and harder, and one day I was on my way back to university when I had a sudden thought that ending my life would be a way out. I was in my own world when a lady standing nearby came up for me and said: “Are you waiting for a train? Are you OK?”
Although I didn’t say much back to her, the little conversation was all it took to interrupt my thoughts of ending life. I got the next train back to university. The small talk was a wake-up call and made me realize it’s OK to reach out for help. I spoke to my university and they provided me with a teacher to help. I also shared my feelings with my loved ones. By seeking some timely and useful help and being honest about what I was feeling. I created a strong support network that I could lean on when I needed to.
When I started working at Network Rail in 2012. I heard that Samaritans provided training for staff working in the rail industry on identifying and helping people who may be vulnerable. Instantly, I knew I had to sign up. I wanted to turn my experience into something useful and positive, and to equip myself to help others who might be feeling like I did back then. The training was fantastic and interestingly shone a light on the fact that everyone has the skills to save a life.
So, if you ever notice someone who you think might be struggling, try talking to them. You already have everything you need to save a life. Take it from me, starting a conversation can be all that it takes.

D．He learned to bravely go to others for assistance.
3．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Absent-minded. B．Out-going.
C．Warm-hearted. D．Easily-broken.
4．What message does the author seem to convey in the text?

From the moment we are born, we interact with the world through movement. We move our lips to smile or to talk. We extend our hand to touch. How does our brain remember this wide range of motions? How does it learn new ones? How does it make the calculations necessary for us to grab a glass of water, without dropping it, squashing it, or missing it?
Technion Professor Jackie Schiller from the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine and her team examined the brain at a single-neuron (单神经元) level to shed light on this mystery. They found that calculation happens not just in the interaction between neurons, but within each individual neuron. It turns out that each of these cells is not a simple switch, but a complicated calculating machine.
This discovery, published recently in the Science, promises changes not only to our understanding of how the brain works, but better understanding of conditions ranging from Parkinson’s disease to autism. And if that isn’t enough, these same findings are expected to advance machine learning, providing inspiration for new architectures.
“We used to think of each neuron as a sort of whistle, which either rings, or doesn’t,” Prof. Schiller explains. “Instead, we are looking at a piano. Its keys can be struck at the same time, or in order, producing an infinity (无限) of different tunes.” This complex music playing in our brains is what enables us to learn and perform an infinity of different, complex and precise movements.
These same findings can also serve as an inspiration for the machine learning community. Deep neural networks, as their name suggests, attempt to create software that learns and functions somewhat similarly to a human brain. Although their advances constantly make the news, these networks are primitive compared to a living brain. A better understanding of how our brain actually works can help in designing more complex neural networks, enabling them to perform more complex tasks.

The first appointment this month was for high fever, the second for red eyes and now your child has a cough. With limited time off at your job, there’s no way you are taking him to the clinic again this month. You decide Dr. Google will work as you enter symptom into your search box. You’re not alone!
While online self-diagnosis (自我诊断) resources seem like savers in our moments of confusing illness, healthcare professionals see dangers in this practice.
For some, it’s a simple math equation: Symptoms + Internet search = You’re probably dying. “People read about the worst possible situation on Google when they look up their symptoms. This can contribute to great stress,” says Dana Corriel, a Primary Care Physician at Highland Medical. “It’s human nature to worry about the worst possible outcomes.”
Besides, Corriel warns of health blogs written by people unqualified to be giving advice. “Often, the information is too general,” Corriel explains. “Each person has a different family history, different risk factors and a varying social history, all of which contribute to the decision-making process a physician goes through when deciding on a proper diagnosis.”
“While an inaccurate diagnosis can be stressful, the greater risk is that patients take the next step in attempting to treat,” says Nicole Prause, a psychologist and researcher at Liberos. “This can lead to unjustified expense at the least and dangerous effects at worst.” Prause also sees the financial burden of unnecessary testing with the amount at 20- and 30-year-olds now requesting MRIs because they have headaches. The undue stress damages your emotional well-being, and it’s expensive for the patient, the insurance company and the medical provider.
Even after understanding the dangers of self-diagnosis, you can’t get past the convenience of using the Internet. It’s important to know that doctors do not intend to prohibit their patients from playing an active role in healthcare. The key is to be careful of the risks, involved with self-diagnosis and to be able to identify sources of information with an attitude of doubt.
12．How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A．By describing his own experience.
B．By presenting problems existing in our life.
C．By imagining a possible situation.
D．By offering a definition of online self-diagnosis.
13．What does Corriel say about turning to the Internet for medical advice?
A．It is extremely convenient.
B．It can bring great stress and anxiety.
C．It may fail to get a general diagnosis.
D．It helps to diagnose confusing illnesses.
14．What is important when you self-diagnose online?
A．Having a critical eye.
B．Discussing with other patients.
C．Turning to reliable websites.
D．Getting some medical knowledge.
15．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．How to find a doctor online.
B．Dangers on online self-diagnosis.
C．Necessity for self-diagnosis.
D．Ways to seek self-diagnosis online.

Great Apps for Kids
Silly Street Learn & Play
age 4
Free
It is an educational app based on a physical game that aims to build character through play. Kids can play solo or with up to 6 players. They can read the directions or turn on the sound to have them narrated. The free game includes six card packs that target curiosity, adaptability, and other character skills through entertaining tasks. The prompts(提示)on the cards encourage kids to express themselves.
Cramble
age 7+
$0.99
It is a lightly educational game that uses comparisons to create questions that players answer for points. The app puts together the size, weight, and more of buildings, animals, and other objects to create clues. Along with the Quiz game mode, there’s also a Compare mode in which players read mix-and-match comparisons.
Spaceteam
age 9+
Free
It is a free cooperative game for two to eight players that requires a separate device for each player. It works best when everyone is on the same Wi-Fi connection and in the same room. Kids will need to be confident readers as there are a number of made-up words that need to quickly be read aloud or recognized on screen. It also tends to get loud, so it’s best played where it won’t bother others.
Geocaching
age 14+
$9.99
This expensive but very cool GPS app makes it possible for the whole family to go geocaching, a high-tech treasure hunt game. Geocaches can be hidden in rough terrain and public locations.

My relationship with books began at a very young age; my parents constantly read to me and I quickly grew fond of all kinds of stories. My reading adventures existed beyond the four walls of my room though, most importantly during the Centerville Public Library’s story hour. Once I aged out of the story hour and picked up reading abilities of my own, my parents were constantly taking me to the library to pick out any book I desired. This was when my love for library books caught fire.
I’ve always enjoyed trips to libraries. Being able to borrow a book from a library knowing that so many other eyes have interacted with it just makes the experience more exciting.
E-books started gaining popularity after 2010, and as someone accepting of change, I decided to try them out. I believe the first and last e-book I read was The Maze Runner. This great book was ruined by the head and eye aches my NOOK gave me if I stared at it for too long. This ultimately ruined my interest in ever reading digitally again.
I love reading because it gives me time to disconnect and wander away from the constant impacts of screens and media. So, reading an e-book would completely ruin the disconnection from screen time that I try so hard to achieve. Reading from an e-book does not allow you the satisfaction of leafing through pages, and makes the term “page-turner” meaningless.
There is hardly anything that is both free and full of value, so being able to knock out both of these birds with one trip to the library is a true blessing.
For these reasons, I believe that any hardcover book, particularly those coming from a library, should always have advantages over an e-book. Library books are an art form that I will never allow to die!

A．It compares two things.
B．It can avoid two troubles.
C．It seizes two opportunities.
D．It can achieve two aims.

A new analysis of photographs from the International Space Station has identified a shift in the kind of lighting technologies that European countries are using at night to brighten streets and buildings. Researchers have found that the old warm high-pressure street lights are rapidly being replaced by cooler LED lights. The University of Exeter study claimed that “this phenomenon is widely increasing the risk of harmful effects to ecosystems”.
LED lighting was promoted as being intended to reduce emissions, but its usage has raised energy consumption. One explanation of this is that the increase in power efficiency and the associated decrease in economic cost have driven increased demand for lighting, therefore, any efficiency gains have been balanced out by increased consumption of light.
The study also claimed that previous research into the effects of light pollution have underestimated the impacts of blue light radiation. Chief among the health consequences of blue light is its ability to reduce the production of melatonin (褪黑素) that regulates sleep patterns in humans and other organisms. Scientific studies have warned that increased exposure to artificial blue light can worsen people’s sleeping habits.
The increase in blue light radiation in Europe has also reduced the visibility of stars in the night sky, which may have impacts on people’s sense of nature. Blue light can also alter the behavioral patterns of animals including bats and moths, as it can change their movements towards or away from light sources.
David Smith, of the conservation charity Buglife, said, “Light pollution can dramatically impact animals. We should consider light from a wider biological perspective than that of just humans and focus on better quality lighting that is harmonious with our natural world. Better quality and lower levels of lighting would help save energy, and lower financial costs, while also making our environment safer for living beings. Authorities can dim (使昏暗) the lights during night hours, and change the bandwidths (带宽值) of their LED bulbs to produce less harmful blue light.”
23．What is the phenomenon described in Paragraph 1?
A．The increasing use of LED lights.
B．The rising demand for public lighting.
C．Old street lights producing lots of emissions.
D．Artificial lights at night wasting much energy.
24．In which aspect are people influenced by blue lights?
A．Eyesight. B．Social behaviors.
C．Learning ability. D．Sleep patterns.
25．What does the underlined word “alter” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．improve. B．change.
C．form. D．consume.
26．What is the author’s purpose by mentioning David Smith?
A．To stress the importance of saving energy.
B．To persuade authorities to avoid using LED lights.
C．To provide suggestions on reducing light pollution.
D．To show ways of improving the quality of LED bulbs.

My sister and I couldn’t be more different. I’m louder and taller. She’s quieter and shorter. When we were young, I sped through Michigan forests on my bike while she read Nancy Drew books. My sister, who is 14 months older than me, and I have always gotten along, but for years we weren’t especially friendly and spoke only when necessary.
Twelve years ago, our father had a stroke (中风). Soon our mother was seriously ill. I managed all the day-to-day caretaking; from afar, my sister offered suggestions which made me feel she was unsatisfied with me. Our mother died in 2015.
Last year I suddenly wanted to watch Chinese TV dramas (电视剧). That felt natural. When I was young, my mother and her friends would share videos of TV dramas sent from China. Perhaps these dramas were her only connection to her early years in China.
I started with one of the most popular dramas—“The Story of Yanxi Palace.” I was amazed at the beautiful clothes, detailed settings and excellent performances (表演). One afternoon, I decided to text my sister what I might have told my mother about the drama. At that point, my sister and I only texted once every few months, usually to discuss our father’s caretaking. Surprisingly, she began to watch along with me. Soon we were live texting as we watched.
Our interest grew until we were watching other dramas, like the hit “GO Ahead.” The more dramas we watched, the more conversations we had. Over the past year, my sister and I have watched so many Chinese dramas together that I’ve lost count.
2020 has been a long year of repeated losses for us all, but amid these losses, I’ve found a lost sister. I never could have imagined how Chinese dramas could help me get back to my Chinese roots (根), or how dramas would help me build a new relationship with my sister.
27．What was the young author’s relationship with her sister like?
A．Rather cold. B．Very difficult. C．Very close. D．Quite changeable.
28．What made the author start to watch Chinese TV dramas?
A．The influence of her sister. B．Her mother’s love for them.
C．Her dream of learning Chinese. D．The popularity of Chinese TV shows.
29．What did the author text her sister that afternoon?
A．Her sadness at losing their mother. B．Her interest in watching a TV drama.
C．Her plan to better look after their father. D．Her views on a Chinese live show.
30．What is the best title for the text?
A．How different my sister and I could be
B．Why TV dramas from China are popular
C．Why I have come to believe in family love again
D．How Chinese dramas helped me connect with my sister

World No. 1 Ashleigh Barty announced her retirement (宣布退役) from tennis at the age of 25 on Wednesday.
“I’m so happy and I’m so ready. I just know at the moment this is right,” Barty said in a video posted on her Instagram account.
The Australian star is retiring not only as she holds the top title for women’s tennis, but also just two months after she won the Australian Open. About six months earlier, she won the title at Wimbledon.
That Wimbledon win was a pivotal moment that led up to her decision to retire after working so hard for the goal. “To win Wimbledon was my dream, the one, true dream that I wanted in tennis, but it changed me a lot,” she said in a video. “I felt at that moment it was time to follow other dreams.”
Still, Barty said, after victory of Wimbledon, “There was just a little part of me that wasn’t quite satisfied.” That feeling was answered, she said, by being able to bring it home at the Australian Open, which she called “my perfect way” to celebrate her career (事业).
In order to compete around the world, she lived away from home for some six months to avoid having to quarantine (隔离) reentering Australia, which would have influenced her training. She often spoke during the whole season about how difficult it was to be away from home—and how important it was for her to be able to return and win in Australia.
This is not Barty’s first time leaving tennis, although she said in her Wednesday announcement this time felt different. In 2014, after succeeding at the junior level, she left the sport to travel less and spend more time with her family. She changed to playing cricket (板球运动) before returning to tennis in 2016.
Ash Barty said that after her retirement her first act would be giving back to the community: “I have always wanted to have the time to do more in other ways and now I have that chance. That is what lights me up inside.” Barty said she wanted to help provide more chances for other Australians to become players at a young age.
31．What does the underlined word “pivotal” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Spare. B．Possible. C．Formal. D．Key.
32．Why was the Australian Open important to Barty?
A．It tested her new training methods. B．It satisfied her family’s expectations.
C．It made her finish her tennis career perfectly. D．It made up for her failure at Wimbledon.
33．What did Barty do after leaving tennis in 2014?
A．She enjoyed her family time. B．She taught juniors to play tennis.
C．She tried more different ball games. D．She travelled a lot with other players.
34．Which of the following best describes Barty?
A．Creative and patient. B．Polite and humorous.
C．Honest and easy-going. D．Caring and hard-working.

These next three years in senior high school may see many relationships coming to an end, a lot of drama between people, and especially a lot of stress (压力). During these next years, you’ll experience a lot, and hopefully, this advice could be of use to you.
First of all, high school is not how the movies show it to be. There are no life-changing things that make you popular, and there are no big parties where teens enjoy themselves together and new friends are made. The reality is that you’ll stay up till three in the morning doing homework, the food in the school isn’t the best, and you will cry about everything.
Just know walking through this next part of your life won’t be a simple walk in the park. You will go through difficulties, but at the end of the day, you’ll decide whether they’re going to influence you or not. While going through a difficult or unpleasant time, know that whatever happens these experiences don’t define (界定) you.
These next moments will be happy, mad, sad, etc. There will be amazing good days, and awful bad ones. Be yourself because many comments will be made about you, your friends, your attitude (态度), and everything in your life. Aside from those people that cause drama, make bad comments about you, and hurt you, there are people who love you and want the best for you. Learning this will take time and you’ll be hurt, but you will be okay. So, in a word, a high school is a work in progress.
High school only comes along once, so make the most of it because very quickly you’ll be shaking your principal’s (校长的) hand while they hand you your high school diploma (毕业证书).

The wind is cold and raindrops fall. Bill Porter pays little attention to the bad weather. He’s a door-to-door salesman. With heavy steps, he stops at the first house. He rings the bell. A young woman comes to the door. “Hello.” “No, thank you.” She shuts the door. Porter’s expression never changes. People might not buy now. Next time. Maybe.
He makes his way up and down the hills. His bag is heavy. His hand hurts. His brain was damaged when he was born, which caused a disorder to his nervous system that affected his speech, hands and walk.
He walks on. He knocks on a door. A man walks out from the back yard where he’s gardening. He often buys, but not today, he says, as he walks away. Then Porter is on his way. No sale. No sale. No sale.
Finally, a middle-aged woman invites Porter inside. They chat easily about what has recently happened in the neighborhood. After a few minutes, Porter takes off his hat and raincoat and sets them on a chair. Out come the glasses and the brochures.
“We have a new kind of pepper (甜椒).” “No.” “Hot spices (调味香料)?” “No.” “All natural, pure pasta toppings (意面浇料).” He looks at the customer. She’s teetering and just needs a push.
“Sure would make a nice gift.” He studies her face, searching for clues as to what she needs to hear. “Nothing man-made.” “Really? How much is a set?” she asks. “$22.99, and they go a long way.” “OK, I’ll give it a try.”
Porter removes his glasses and places everything in his bag. He pulls on his coat and hat and follows the woman to the front door. He turns to her and says, “And I thank you.”
He arrives home after 7 p. m. Today was not profitable. He tells himself not to worry. Four days left in the week. He eats at the kitchen table and listens to the radio. He hears the rain pound on the street. He must dress warmly tomorrow. Soon he’s sleepy with great care he climbs the stairs (楼梯) to his bedroom. In time, the lights go off. Morning will be here soon.

Some 20 percent of adults are procrastinators (拖延症患者). Everyone might put off a task or two, but long-term procrastinators do it at home, at school, at work and in their relationships.
For years, researchers have focused on the personalities of people who procrastinate. The results suggest procrastinators may be impulsive (冲动), worriers and have trouble regulating their emotions. But procrastinators are not lazy. They’re actually very busy doing other things than what they’re supposed to be doing. Though procrastinators may think they perform better under pressure, studies have reported the opposite. And when deadlines are uncertain, procrastinators tend to delay their work.
When people put off a tough task, they feel good-in the moment. Procrastinating is a way to avoid the negative emotions linked to the task. But the relief it provides is only temporary, and many seek out ways to stop procrastinating.
In fact, most research today suggests procrastination is a behavioral pattern, which means it’s something you can change, regardless of whether you’re impulsive. What works best is still under research. Some scientists have reported success with time management. But the evidence for that is all over the map. That’s because poor time management is a symptom not a cause of procrastination.
For some procrastinators, seemingly obvious tips can work. Researchers advise students to simply put down their smartphones. Silencing notifications or studying in the library rather than at home can regulate distractions and keep people on task. But that won’t be enough for many people. Stubborn procrastinators may benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法). This type of therapy, which involves managing thoughts and emotions and trying to change behavior, seemed to be the most helpful. Still, not many studies have examined treatments, and there’s room for improvement.

Wildlife photographer Sam Turley and his wife Vera found a two-week-old blesbok (南非白面大羚羊)—whom they named Meme—on her own. She was spotted wandering around on her own after her mother passed away.
The pair took Meme in and raised the animal themselves for seven months before releasing her back out into the wild. Neither of them had ever raised a blesbok before. So it required a huge amount of patience and compassion to keep her fit and healthy but it deserved the effort. Meme would follow Vera wherever she went and sometimes the couple would have a blesbok, a dog and a cat all walking together. In the right areas, the blesbok is a really common antelope to see and is therefore often overlooked and under-appreciated. It was a privilege to be let into the blesbok’s secret world and they learned more about the blesbok than they thought was ever possible.
After releasing Meme back out into the wild, the couple were convinced they would never see her again, until several months later when they were driving around a reserve and happened to come across a herd of blesboks.
Vera called out Meme’s name in the hope of finding Meme. Blesboks all look very similar to one another, which makes it very difficult to distinguish individuals. When Vera started to talk, the herd raised their heads and looked over. Vera continued to call Meme and as all the other blesboks lost interest, one individual held her gaze and ran straight up to her.
After rescuing the lonely animal, Sam and Vera found it extremely emotional to have to release her back out into the wild to fend for herself—even though they knew it was the right thing to do. But after having such a strong bond with an animal, it was really difficult to see her go. They had put so much time, effort and energy into raising her but to see her walking in a herd of blesboks made it all worthwhile.
53．What happened to Meme when she was spotted?
A．She became an orphan. B．She was lost in the forest.
C．She was hunted by a couple. D．She was abandoned by her mother.
54．What was Meme’s life with the couple like?

B．She was hard to be artificially fed.
C．She fitted in well with the whole family.
D．She was under-appreciated in the family.
55．Which word can best explain the underlined word “fend” in the last paragraph?
A．Look. B．Care.
C．Search. D．Hunt.
56．Which of the following can best describe the act of rescuing the blesbok?
A．Effortless. B．Unsatisfactory.
C．Rewarding. D．Heartbreaking.

No one can resist (抗拒) the temptation of snacks. But at the same time, you may be underestimating (低估) how many calories a snack contains. What would happen if you had a bag of crisps (炸薯片) a day? Eating an extra packet of crisps a day could lead to a weight gain of 6. 35 kg after a year, The Times reported.
People underestimate the number of calories in their snacks, with experts warning that eating a bag of crisps every day could lead to a stone of weight gain in a year. A survey of around 2, 000 adults found that about three quarters underestimated the impact of what a small reduction could have. One in ten believed that cutting 200 calories a day would not affect weight. At the same time, many people didn’t seem to know exactly how many calories were in their snacks. When it came to snacks, people struggled, with 95 percent guessing that half a sharing bag of tortilla chips had 214 calories on average, almost half the true figure of 447.
Can’t we resist buying snacks? The food environment is to blame. Even though we all know snacking is bad for our health, we can’t help but fill our shopping carts with snacks. Don’t always blame yourself for poor self-control, and supermarket shelves also have to carry this “pot” half.
Hugo Harper, head of Nesta’s health team, said the pressure to resist high-calorie snacks should not be put on consumers (消费者) and that our food environment needed to be changed. He said，“Our environment has a real impact on what we eat, from advertisements and supermarket promotions to what’s available in our local corner shops. ”
Hugo added,  “If we had fewer cues to snacks, or were pushed to buy fewer high calorie snacks, we should be able to see real change. ” New rules coming into force next month will restrict promotions on foods high in fat, sugar and salt in big shops.
57．Why does the author mention crisps in Paragraph 1?
A．To introduce the topic.
B．To list some reasons.
C．To make a comparison.
D．To raise a question.
58．What can we know from the survey?

B．Many people knew how many snacks they ate.
C．Most people lacked the awareness of snacks’ impact.
D．No one knew the fact that the snacks contained many calories.
59．What may cause people to buy more snacks according to the text?

B．The food environment.
C．Consumption ability.
D．Supermarket management.
60．Which of the following may be the best title for the text?

B．People can resist the temptation of snacks.
C．Adults got involved in a consumption survey.
D．The harm of snacks is beyond your imagination.

Cultural heritage is a variety of local treasures from different places. These treasures often increase people’s pride in their hometown. Thus, protecting cultural heritage is of great significance and importance. In protecting cultural heritage, countries around the world should join hands further to deal with issues. Today there are shared measures to preserve cultural heritage. However, countries still have different views on cultural heritage preservation.
Asian and European architecture is very different, for example. European buildings are often stone structures that can stand damage caused by wind and rain, while those in the East are more often wooden structures which require renovation(翻新). This leads to different views on how to preserve ancient architecture.
From the very beginning, Europeans have the opinion that people should take fewer measures in the process of protecting cultural heritage. For example, the ruins of the Roman Colosseum have simply been left as they are, but Asia has a tradition of renovation of cultural relics and we believe that this measure will not affect their authenticity(真实性). The Ise Grand Shrine building in Japan is rebuilt every 20 years from one generation to the next. Such tradition caused a debate in international cultural heritage preservation circles, as some thought that the rebuilding process would harm its authenticity. Experts around the world travelled to Japan especially to conduct on-site check and discussions, and they finally recognized that the term “authenticity” actually varies from culture to culture.
The importance of these international exchanges is that they will help the world understand Asia, and accept Asian ways to protect cultural heritage.
61．What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A．Protecting cultural heritage is of little significance.
B．Countries have the same views on cultural heritage preservation.
C．Cultural heritage often makes people proud of their hometown.
D．Countries work alone without sharing in protecting cultural heritage.
62．What does the underlined word “those” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Structures.
B．Buildings.
C．Damages.
D．Views.
63．What can we infer from the text?
A．European experts fail to protect cultural relics.
B．Protecting cultural heritage causes many issues.
C．Many European ancient buildings are made of wood.
D．Ways to protect cultural heritage are different from area to area.
64．What does the author agree to in protecting cultural heritage?
A．International communication is needed.
B．We should follow western experts’ advice.
C．Cultural heritage will be damaged through rebuilding.
D．Asian ways to protect cultural heritage are unacceptable.

Mr. Smith, the professor at my business class, had a unique way of going over the answers to our weekly tests. For each question, he would ask a random student for their answer and then continue to grill(盘问追问) him/her, forcing him/her to defend that answer. It was certainly a memorable way to review. How I wished I’d been a more experienced student and got used to the professor’s grilling! I wasn’t, though.
But in my anatomy class, Dr. Cuddy introduced “high power” and “low power” body positions, saying “high power” positions involve taking up much space and making yourself look big, while “low power” poses, in contrast, involve making yourself look small, keeping your arms and legs crossed and held close. People tend to see others with high power poses as natural leaders, and are more willing to hire them. Her research finding was that spending just two minutes standing in a high power pose increased a person’s feeling of power and self-confidence. She wanted us to try it out.
On my next quiz-review day, instead of bending over my book studying quietly, I sat up straight and spread out my books and notebooks on the entire surface of my desk. When our teacher asked if anyone had any questions about the material before we began our quiz review, I raised my hand.
The effect was surprising. My professor answered my question as if talking to a colleague, and I had a wonderful feeling of calm. Suddenly, I realized that the important thing was that I was participating. I just needed to engage fully in the class and learn.
Today, before a presentation or a test, I spend a few minutes “thinking big”-taking up space and being seen. It calms me down and when I do, my best always turns out to be pretty good.
65．How did the author perform in his business class?
A．He was good at defending his answer.
B．He had difficulty getting used to the professor.
C．He did good memorization for his weekly tests.
D．He felt confident to question against the teacher.
66．What did Dr. Cuddy want her students to try out?
A．Keeping their arms crossed at a talk.
B．Keeping their desks clean in class.
C．Using low-power poses in class.
D．Taking a high-power pose briefly.
67．What will the author spend time doing before a test?
A．Discussing the content with his classmates.
B．Going over his lessons without being seen.
C．Making himself look big and get noticed.
D．Collecting things on his desk to make it clean.
68．What is the author’s attitude towards “thinking big”?
A．Favorable.
B．Doubtful.
C．Critical.
D．Indifferent.
