Chen knew sme deaf friends, but they can nly cmmunicate with each ther by typing n the mbile phne. This encuraged Chen t learn sign language. In 2018, Chen, then a senir high schl student, attended a prgram by Nanjing Nrmal University f Special Educatin t learn frm prfessinals and was certified (认证) as a sign language interpreter.
“Finger flexibility is a key,” Chen said, “I culdn’t make precisely harmnius mvements f my fingers at first.” S Chen tk part in activities fr deaf peple t practice mre.

Mandy and Je have been married fr five years and they bth lve travelling t new cuntries. But while this shared hbby brings them tgether, it is als a surce f cntentin. “I d all the planning and bk,” says Mandy. “Dn’t get me wrng. I enjy it, but if Je paid a bit mre attentin, he wuldn’t have turned up fr a flight t Grenada packed fr a winter city break. ‘Jumpers and bts?!’ I cried. ‘Yu’re suppsed t have packed shrts and T-shirts — it’s 30℃ in the Caribbean!’ Then I realized he thught we were ging t Granada, in Spain.”
Hw Je and Mandy each apprach their travel plans is just ne example f the many ways in which men and wmen differ. Yet, is what ges n inside ur minds and bdies really s different? Furthermre, are we brn that way?
On this issue, scientists are divided. The majrity f scientists believed that patterns f behavir thught t be mre male r female are learnt firstly frm ur parents, then frm ur peers and, ultimately, frm the scieties in which we live. As Simne de Beauvir famusly said, “One is nt brn, but rather becmes, a wman.”
On the ther side f the fence sat thse wh believed that male and female brains are actually wired differently. In ne study in which 34 mnkeys were required t interact with different types f tys, the males shwed a strng preference fr tys with wheels rather than sft tys, whereas the females were nticeably drawn t sft tys. These preferences were clearly nt the result f parental influence.
Whatever the truth behind the differences between men and wmen, we can safely cnclude that althugh the scial impact n hw we think and behave is undeniable, there exists a bilgical cntributin. The questin that nw needs answering is t what extent bilgy affects the chices we make and the way ther peple treat us.
43. What des the underlined wrd in Paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A. Satisfactin.B. Disagreement.C. Inspiratin.D. Infrmatin.

C. What causes the sex difference.D. Hw different males and females are.
45. What des the study abut mnkeys prve?
A. Mnkeys have their wn preferences.B. Parents indeed have strng impacts.
C. Men and wmen are brn different.D. Females and males behave differently.
46. Which statement abut sex differences des the authr prbably agree with?
A. Bilgy cntributes t the difference.B. Bilgy mstly affects ur chices.
C. Scial influence can be ignred.D. Peers have mre impact than parents.

If yu’ve ever emerged frm the shwer r returned frm yur walk with a clever idea r a slutin t a prblem yu had been struggling with, it may nt be a surprise. Rather than cnstantly cncentrating n a prblem, research frm the last 15 years suggests that peple may be mre likely t have creative breakthrughs when they’re ding a habitual task that desn’t require much thught.
“Peple always get surprised when they realize they get interesting, nvel ideas at unexpected times,” says Kalina Christff, a scientist at the University f British Clumbia in Vancuver, “because ur culture tells us that we shuld d it thrugh hard wrk.”
Nw researchers begin t understand why these clever thughts ccur during mre passive activities and what’s happening in the brain. They have fund that the key is a series f brain activities — within what’s called the default mde (DM) netwrk — that ccur while an individual is resting r perfrming habitual tasks that dn’t require much attentin.
“Simply put, it is a state that yur brain returns t when yu’re relaxed,” explains Christff. “By cntrast, when yu’re wrking n a demanding task, the brain’s executive cntrl (EC) systems keep yur thinking fcused, analytical, and lgical.”
Researchers find that the DM netwrk is als invlved in the early stages f idea generatin, drawing frm past experiences and knwledge abut the wrld. When yur mind wanders, yu’re allwing thughts t playfully crss yur mind, which helps yu cmbine infrmatin and ideas in new ways and smething clicks.
“A cautinary nte: While the DM netwrk plays a key rle in the creative prcess, it is the EC systems that help yu t evaluate and apply the creative ideas effectively t yur prblems in the real wrld,” Christff says. “S it’s unwise t place blind faith in the discvery that creative ideas can be generated in the shwer r during any ther kinds f mind wandering. Instead, yu have t d the wrk t set the grundwrk fr creative ideas t emerge in the first place.”
47. What is the mst unlikely functin f the EC systems?
A. T start yur thinking prcess. B. T help yu analyze.
C. T let yu get nvel ideas. D. T keep yu fcused.
48. What d the underlined wrds “smething clicks” in paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. A clever idea ccurs. B. Smething drps dwn.
C. A memry disappears. D. A funny thught happens.
49. What is Kalina Christff’s attitude t the culture f hard wrk?
A. Disapprving. B. Psitive. C. Dubtful. D. Uncncerned.
50. Which statement might the authr agree with?
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. Everything cmes t him wh waits.
D. All wrk and n break makes Jack a dull by.

Drawing is a skill that yu have t practice if yu want it t becme better. 51 It is als a great way t relax and give yurself an utlet fr creative expressin. But there are times when yu need t be pushed in rder t get yur drawing dne. Ding it frequently is ften hard. It’s nt always easy t find time and mtivatin t d it.
0052 Withut it, yu will find yurself delaying instead f ding what yu want n canvas (画布). The key t mtivating yurself t draw ften is t break dwn the prcess int smaller and smaller, mre manageable parts s yu can gain mtivatin and keep drawing.
Here are sme techniques that can help push yu in the right directin: set a timer fr 10 minutes and try drawing smething with that time limit.
Reward yurself after each sessin f drawing. 53 Include art in yur daily rutine s that it’s easy t d what yu lve.
Unfrtunately, many peple start t lse mtivatin t draw as they get lder. When we get tired f ur jb, it is natural t want t stp drawing. Mst f the time, we tend t delay. It is an act f putting things ff until the last minute. It is hard t identify hw many peple delay because it can vary frm persn t persn. The reasns fr delay are nt always clear, but it is a very cmmn prblem that artists and nn-artists alike experience. 54
There are ways fr artists t avid such delay and keep drawing as a way f cmmunicatin and self-expressin. 55 They can als try new ways f drawing r try drawing n different surfaces like n paper r cardbard.
A. Mtivatin is necessary when it cmes t art.
B. One such way is by keeping a jurnal f their drawings.
C. Fr example, buy smething small like a new pen r pencil.
D. We lse mtivatin t begin a task because it’s just t difficult.
E. Yu might feel guilty after yu’ve put smething ff fr t lng.
F. The mre yu draw, the mre cmfrtable yu are with carrying ut the drawing prcess.
G. Originally, it was assciated with painters wh wuld always put ff painting until t late.
