Just being smart desn't mean smene will be successful. And just because smene is less smart desn't mean that persn will fail. That's ne take-hme message frm the wrk f peple like Angela Duckwrth.
She wrks at the University f Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Like many ther researchers, Duckwrth wndered what makes ne persn mre successful than anther. When digging deeper, Duckwrth fund that the peple wh perfrmed best shared a quality (品质) independent f smarts. They had what she nw calls grit (毅力). Duckwrth develped a set f questins t test it.
In ne study f peple 25 and lder, she fund that as peple age, they becme mre likely t stick with a prject. She als fund that grit increases with educatin. Peple wh had finished cllege scred higher in the grit test than peple wh quit befre graduatin did. Peple wh went t graduate schl after cllege scred even higher.
She then did anther study with cllege students. Duckwrth wanted t see hw smarts and grit influenced perfrmance in schl. S she cmpared scres n cllege-entrance exams, which test IQ, t schl grades and smene's scre in the grit test. Students with higher grades seem t have mre grit. That's nt surprising. Getting gd grades takes bth smarts and hard wrk.
But sme peple cunter that this grit means success. Amng thse peple is Marcus Credé, a teacher at Iwa State University in Ames. He recently shwed the results f 88 studies n grit. Tgether, nearly 67,000 peple tk part in these studies. And grit did nt predict success, Credé fund.
Hwever, he thinks grit is very similar t smene's ability t set gals, wrk tward them and think things thrugh befre acting. It's a basic persnality quality, Credé ntes—nt smething that can be changed.
"Study habits and skills, test anxiety and class attendance are far mre strngly cnnected t schl grades than grit," Credé says. "We can teach students hw t study well. We can help them with their test anxiety," he adds. "I'm nt sure we can d that with grit."
8. What can we knw frm the first tw paragraphs? A . Grit decides hw smart ne might be. B . Grit is a quality dependent n smarts. C . Success has nthing t d with smarts. D . Smart peple may nt live up t their smarts.
9. What might influence a persn's grit accrding t Angela Duckwrth's findings? A . Lifestyles. B . Family traditin. C . Educatin. D . Persnality types.
10. What des the underlined wrd "cunter" in paragraph 5 prbably mean? A . Reply. B . Questin. C . Accept. D . Warn.
11. In Credé's pinin, grit is a basic quality that ____. A . can hardly be taughtC. shuld be paid n attentin t in teaching B . is strngly related t test anxietyD. can't influence students' schl grade

Music streaming platfrms such as Sptify and Apple Music have cmpletely changed hw peple listen t music nwadays. By paying very affrdable prices, peple can access music very easily. Hwever, while these platfrms may prvide benefits fr sme artists, up-and-cming artists are being left behind because they nly fcus n big names and creating prfits.
Because f COVID-19, musicians have nt been able t tur r perfrm live in many cuntries, which cntributes t a large part f their incme. In a YuTube interview, up-and-cming Texas artist Mbey mentined that "The majrity f my incme cmes frm playing live shws. Usually that means arund 50%-70% f what we expect t make in a year". With these factrs, small artists are finding it increasingly difficult t make it in the industry due t the lack f investment (投资) int new talent.
Small artists n Sptify and Apple Music can expect t make little t nthing. An artist n Sptify can expect t earn an average f $0.003 per stream r arund $3 per 1, 000 streams fr ne f their sngs. On Apple Music, artists can expect t make a little mre with an average f $0.01 per stream, r arund $10 with 1, 000 streams. Even if they culd hit arund 1,000 streams, they have t pay music distributin (分发) platfrms needed fr their music t be shwn n the streaming platfrms such as DistrKid, whse cheapest plan is $20.
A new artist wuld find it very difficult t prmte their music utside f their scial media accunts which may nt even have a large amunt f fllwers. They prbably cannt get large amunts f streams n their music since it is nt being prmted due t the lack f expsure (宣传) they have n scial media.
With the takever f music streaming platfrms, many artists are finding it increasingly difficult t make a sustainable (可持续的) living frm their lve fr music. A simple way these platfrms can enable new artists t keep making music is t increase their payuts per stream fr their music. Hpefully the music streaming industry will make similar changes t imprve the situatin f their artists.
12. What is the prblem with music streaming platfrms? A . They ignre small artists. B . They are nt user-friendly. C . They are very difficult t manage. D . They limit the number f small artists' sngs.
13. What d artist Mbey's wrds center n? A . His lack f investment. B . His ttal incme in a year. C . The main surce f his incme. D . The reasn fr his fewer live shws.
14. What d the figures in paragraph 3 shw? A . Hw a music streaming platfrm wrks. B . Small artists' hpe fr music streaming platfrms. C . Small artists' dislike fr music streaming platfrms. D . Why small artists earn little n music streaming platfrms.
15. What is the best title fr the text? A . Music streaming platfrms: D they really put prfits first? B . Music streaming platfrms: Are they a chance r challenge t artists? C . Music streaming platfrms: Have they harmed the industry fr artists? D . Music streaming platfrms: Culd they ffer music lvers better services?
