When the semester ended, I returned hme. In a few weeks BYU wuld pst grades; then I’d knw if I culd return in the fall.
I filled my jurnals with prmises that I wuld stay ut f the junkyard. I needed mney s I went t get my ld jb back, at Stkes. I turned up at the busiest hur in the afternn when I knew they’d be understaffed, and sure enugh, the manager was bagging grceries when I fund him. I asked if he’d like me t d that, and he lked at me fr all f three secnds, and then lifted his aprn ver his head and handed it t me.
Dad was waiting fr me when I came thrugh the back dr. He saw the aprn and said, “Yu’re wrking fr me this summer.”
“I’m wrking at Stkes,” I said.
His vice was raised. “This is yur family. Yu belng here.”
There was n ne n his crew since my brthers had gne. He had t d everything all by himself. Dad’s face was haggard, his eyes bldsht. But that determinatin was etched (流露出) int his face. It was in his vice, in the harshness f it. He had t win this standff (对峙).
But I culdn’t d the jb, because t d it wuld be t slide backward. I had mved hme, t my ld rm, t my ld life. If I went back t wrking fr Dad, t waking up every mrning and pulling n steel ted bts and trudging (跋涉) ut t the junkyard, it wuld be as if the last fur mnths had never happened, as if I had never left.
When I’d tld Dad that I planned t g back t cllege, he’d said a wman’s place was in the hme that I shuld be learning abut herbs — “Gd’s pharmacy (药房)” he’d call it — s I culd take ver fr Mther.
My memries f the university faded quickly. The scratch f pencils n paper, the clack f a prjectr mving t the next slide, the peal f the bells signaling the end f the class — all were drwned ut by the clatter f irn and the rle f diesel engines after a mnth in the junkyard. BYU seemed like a dream, smething I had created by magic. Nw I was awake.
4．Why did the authr turn up at the busiest hur at Stkes?
A．Because she was expelled frm cllege and planned t wrk at Stkes.
B．Because she culd save mney by buying stuff at a discunt in the afternn.
C．Because she wuld have a better chance t get the jb.
D．Because her dad asked her t get an aprn fr him frm Stkes in the afternn.
5．The underlined wrd “haggard” is clsest in meaning t
A．tiredB．excitedC．indifferentD．cncerned
6．What was Dad’s attitude twards the authr’s plan t g back t cllege
A．Supprtive.B．Oppsed.C．Hesitant.D．Dubtful.
7．What can be learned frm the passage?
A．The authr didn’t want t wrk fr her dad mainly because it was t tiring at the junkyard.
B．The authr’s dad was prly educated but he acknwledged the imprtance f educatin fr girls.
C．The authr missed her university and wanted t embrace her new life.
D．The authr’s dad was disappinted because she didn’t chse medicine as her majr.
This summer we witnessed interview teams at the Nrth Ple wearing shrt sleeve shirts due t the warm weather. A study published n Aug 29 revealed mre cncerning issues in the suppsedly cldest area f the wrld. Zmbie ice frm a massive Greenland ice sheet was cnfirmed t be melting, which wuld eventually raise glbal sea levels by at least 10 inches (27 centimeters) n its wn, reprted Assciated Press (AP).
Zmbie ice is the kind f ice that is still attached t thicker areas f ice but is n lnger getting fed by larger glaciers. Since glaciers are getting less snw t make up fr the amunt f ice melted, nce the zmbie ice is melted, it cannt be re-frmed.
Scientists decided t lk at the balance f the ice. In perfect equilibrium (平衡), snw in the muntains f Greenland flws dwn and thickens the sides f glaciers, balancing ut what’s melting n the edges, accrding t AP. But in the last few decades, there is less refill and mre melting, creating an imbalance.
Study c-authr William Clgan at the Gelgical Survey f Denmark and Greenland tld AP that 3.3 percent f Greenland’s ttal ice vlume will melt eventually. “Starying wuld be a gd phrase” fr what’s happening t the ice, Clgan added.
With a great number f natural resurces buried under the earth, areas f melted ice revealed treasures that attracted the wrld’s richest men. Accrding t CNN, in early August, there was a “treasure hunt” in Greenland. Billinaires, including Bill Gates and thers, financially backed KBld Metals, a US-based mineral explratin cmpany, t explre the rare metals under the glaciers in Greenland. The cmpany tld CNN that since there were enugh minerals t pwer hundreds f millins f electric vehicles, the critical resurce is capable f pwering the green energy transitin.
While investrs are taking advantage f glbal warming, experts express their cncerns that the mineral explratin is likely t wrsen the lcal envirnment, running ut f the wrld’s resurces at a faster rate.
8．What d we knw abut zmbie ice?
A．It’s made up by nearby glaciers.B．It’s independent frm large glaciers.
C．It will melt away frm the ice cap.D．It has increased sea levels by 10 inches.
9．What des paragraph 3 mainly talk abut?
A．Why mre zmbie ice can’t be created.B．Hw zmbie ice was frmed in the past.
C．What the melting f zmbie ice can lead t.D．Hw zmbie ice functins in the ecsystem.
10．What des the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 imply?
A．The ice has brught abut starvatin.B．The ice is refilled mre than befre.
C．The ice is becming gradually thinner.D．The ice has been gd t skate n.
11．What’s the main purpse f the article?
A．T explain a natural phenmenn.B．T cmment n the “treasure hunt”.
C．T call fr envirnmental prtectinD．T reprt n the melting zmbie ice.
As the cncept f emtinal intelligence (EI) has gne glbal, we’ve watched prfessinals fail as they try t imprve their emtinal intelligence because they either dn’t knw where t fcus their effrts r they haven’t understd hw t imprve these skills n a practical level. In ur wrk cnsulting with cmpanies and caching leaders, we have fund that if yu’re lking t develp particular EI strengths, it helps t cnsider areas fr imprvement thers have identified alng with the gals yu want t achieve and then t actively build habits in thse areas rather than simply relying n understanding them cnceptually.
The first step is t get a sense f hw yur self-perceptin (hw yu see yurself) differs frm yur reputatin (hw thers see yu). This is especially true fr the develpment f EI because we can be blind t hw we express and read the emtinal cmpnents f ur interactins. Fr example, mst f us think that we’re gd listeners, but very ften that’s really nt the case. Withut this external reality check, it will be difficult fr yu t identify the ways that yur actins affect yur perfrmance. Getting teed back frm thers can als prvide prf f the necessity f shifting ur behavir and mtivatin t d s.
T give yu the best sense f where the differences lie between yur self-perceptin and reputatin, yu shuld use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes int accunt the multiple aspects f EI. The key is t find ne t give yu feedback, which is fcused n develpment and nt n perfrmance assessment. And that can give yu a detailed understanding f hw ther peple’s assessments f yu differ frm yur wn assessments.
Secndly, when yu get yur feedback frm an assessment, let that infrm what yu want t imprve. But als cnsider what yur gals are. When it cmes t cultivating strengths in emtinal intelligence, yu’re at a huge disadvantage if yu’re nly interested because thers say yu shuld be. Yur emtinal intelligence is s tied up in yur sense f self that being intrinsically (内在的) mtivated t make the effrt matters mre when changing lngstanding habits than it des when simply learning a skill.
That means the areas that yu chse t actively wrk n shuld lie at the intersectin f the feedback yu’ve gtten and the areas that are mst imprtant t yur wn aspiratins (抱负). Understanding the influences f yur current EI habits relative t yur gals will keep yu ging ver a lng perid at time as yu d the wrk r strengthening yur emtinal intelligence.
12．What d we knw frm the first paragraph?
A．EI can be better imprved with thers’ help.
B．Leaders are badly in need f imprving their EI.
C．EI plays a key rle in prfessinal develpment.
D．Prfessinals fail t understand the cncepts f EI.
13．Accrding t the passage, which f the fllwing is an “external reality check”?
A．Yu help yur siblings make a key decisin.
B．Yur career develpment speeds up with thers’ help.
C．Yu reflected yurself and made a New Year reslutin.
D．Yur teacher directed yu twards a better attitude in study.
14．What’s the main idea f Paragraph 4?
A．T imprve yur EI, fllwing yur inner call is the mst reliable.
B．It’s bard fr thers t knw yur EI because it hides deep inside.
C．T imprve yur EI, yu shuld take yur gals int cnsideratin.
D．Acquiring a new skill is mre significant than imprving yur EI.
15．Which f the fllwing might the authr agree with?
A．Yur inner self discurages yu frm imprving yur EI.
B．Effective EI develpment is determined by different factrs.
C．The imprtance f perfrmance assessment is underestimated.
D．EI develpment is unlikely t happen unless yu knw what EI is.
The Science f Fear
Hme alne at night, yu hear a lud crash. In an instant yur heart starts racing, yur muscles tense and yur breath quickens. Yu are immediately alert, prepared t fight r flee the surce f the sund, which turns ut t be a pile f bks falling ff that shelf yu've been meaning t fix. 16
Fear is ne f ur strngest and mst basic emtins. It's a big bad wrld ut there, and being afraid f certain things prtects us frm ptential danger t make sure we survive. Sme evlutinary fears are hard-wired int ur brains, but we can als develp new fears thrughut ur lives. As children we pick up n what makes ur parents anxius, and we may als learn t fear certain things after negative experiences. 17 We can enjy the view frm the tp f a skyscraper rather than wrry abut falling, r turn ut the light-safe in the knwledge that a wlf wn't swallw us in the night.
Hwever, peple with phbias have an extreme fear respnse that causes bth physical and psychlgical suffering. 18 Agraphbia is generally referred t as the fear f pen spaces, but it applies t the dread f any situatin that is difficult t escape frm, r where help wuld nt be available if smething went wrng. Scial phbia is the intense fear f interacting with peple r perfrming, while specific phbias are the fear f a particular situatin, activity r thing. 19 Smebdy with acrphbia - an extreme fear f heights — may experience a panic attacl, stmpl trying t walk acrss a bridge. Depending n the cause f their phbia, sufferers ften try their best t avid situatins that culd affect them.
20 Fr example, smebdy may develp cynphbia— the fear f dgs—after being bitten. But whether the cause is ratinal (理性的) r irratinal, as sn as the brain ntices a scary stimulus (刺激物), it activates the fight-r-flight respnse, thus preparing the bdy fr actin.
A．Then, hw can it be vercme?
B．These irratinal fears can cause majr disturbance t everyday life.
C．But in that mment, yur brain and bdy reacted as if yu were in extreme danger.
D．Despite this, mst f us are able t ignre ur fears when it's clear we aren't in any immediate danger.
E．Our brains warn us f the risks that might lie ahead, but then we ften get prepared and vercme them.
F．These extreme fears are divided int three different grups: agraphbia, scial phbia and specific phbias.
G．The cause f phbias is nt always clear, but many cases are linked t experiencing r witnessing unpleasant events.
二、完形填空
There are cuntless reasns t stay up late; hwever, here’s ne gd reasn t g t bed.
The less a student sleeps every night, the lwer their grade-pint average (GPA) will be, accrding t a tw-year study f the sleep habits f mre than 600 students.
Researchers fund that every lst hur f average nightly sleep at the start f an academic term was assciated with a 0.07-pint 21 in a student’s end-f-term GPA．When a student slept less than six hurs a night, the 22 f lst sleep n a student’s grades was even mre 23 , said David Creswell, the lead authr f the study.
“Yu’re 24 this sleep debt,” Creswell said. “And that has a pretty negative rle 25 peple’s academics.” Sleep, especially uninterrupted sleep, helps the brain 26 and memrize infrmatin it has learned. And when smene is sleep-deprived, attentin span and memry are als damaged.
But students face a variety f “ 27 pressure” that keep them up late, Creswell said. The average student in the sample grup 28 fell asleep at abut 12:00 p.m. and these students slept abut 6 hurs a night.
It’s nt clear why less sleep wuld cause smene t have a lwer GPA, Creswell said. Sleeping fr lnger, 29 perids f time allws fr REM sleep, a perid f uncnscius rapid eye mvement that crrespnds with high activity in the brain. Creswell said he 30 that a regular pattern f 31 sleep creates a “sleep debt” ver time, leaving students unable t cncentrate. “These students are ging t attend their class with a tn f sleep debt, and they’re having truble staying fcused and 32 in classrms,” Creswell said. “Thse things can really harm yur ability t really 33 with the material. What’s mre, sleep is s imprtant that it is like the 34 that hlds students’ lives tgether in lts f aspects.”
“Fundamentally, it 35 : If we’re nt sleeping well, all systems are nt a g,” Creswell said. “Our bdy is nt prepared fr the day ahead f us and what we’re asking it t d if we dn’t have that gd, basic amunts f night-time sleep.”

My family mved in a small huse in Brightn, Clrad n my seventh birthday. My first memry is ur neighbr Bill, an ld man, handing me strawberries frm his garden thrugh a hle in the chain-link fence. “We need t make the hle bigger,” he said jkingly. Later I knew that he lived alne.
Bill spent much time wrking in the garden, and I was always talking t him frm ur yard. I was a chatterbx. I think what drew me t Bill is that he never gt tired f listening t me. I als think Bill saw a lt f himself in me — we were bth lnely and anxius — and that may be why he always tk the time t listen t me. It was a wnderful cnnectin.
There weren’t any kids f my age in the neighbrhd, and my parents were very busy, s I mstly played in the yard with my dg. I had a lt f imaginary friends — a whle family, actually, with a wife, children, a best friend... n jke. Weird kid.
One day, my parents asked Bill whether he’d watch me while they were away n business. This wrked fr everyne, s it became a smewhat mnthly ccurrence. Bill had a spare rm in his huse, which became “my” rm.
Bill prmised t teach me t drive the lawn tractr(割草机) smeday and I was always lking frward t it. In winter, Bill wuld attach a snwplw(铲雪机) t the frnt f the dawn tractr. I seriusly tld him that I wuld invent a better snwplw when I grew up. “Sure yu will. Yu’ll get a patent certificate. It takes a certificate t prve an imprtant thing,” Bill said with a smile.
One snwy mrning, an idea suddenly hit me. My parents were watching TV when I spit it ut, “What if I adpted Bill as my grandpa?” My parents said I culd g ver and ask him.

1. 续写词数应为150左右；
