Rising T the Challenge
Cyclists must dig deep t cmplete what’s been called the tughest climb in the wrld. They race up t Wuling Peak t the finish line in the King f the Muntain (KOM) Challenge. Every Octber sme f the wrld’s best cyclists battle (21) the title. Starting at sea level, the rute climbs t a height f 3, 275 meters at the end, cvering 105 kilmeters.
Ever since I started cycling seven years ag, cmpleting the KOM climb (22) (be) a gal f mine. Every year I thught that I needed t prepare fr it and used that as my excuse. But (23) (lk) back, I realize I wuld have been fine. Cycling uphill was n prblem fr me then- it was thrilling. Nw it’s exhausting.
Last summer I finally decided t take n Wuling with sme friends. Our 89-kilmeter rute started at the base f the muntain and was a little shrter than the fficial KOM race. But it’s the final 10 kilmeters (24) are the mst demanding: This is the steepest part, (25) makes the climb s hard.
We began early in the mrning as a grup f 17 riders. But nly three f us wuld make it t the tp. A supprt car was necessary, especially n a ride like this, (26) (help) keep us energetic.
The first part f the ride went thrugh Tark Valley, a magnificent park. I’ve hiked there, (27)
I’ve always wanted t bike it. I saw dramatic rcky utcrps, canyns, waterfalls and frests as I zipped thrugh the valley and up the muntain rad. Even thugh it was August, the weather was perfect. Unfrtunately, the supprt car that carried ur lunch (28) (delay). By the time it arrived, I was starving. Being cnsumed f energy even fr that shrt time affected the rest f my ride. When the hard last 10 kilmeters arrived, I really struggled t cmplete them. At ne pint I
(29) see hw clse the tp f the peak was, but it still felt s far away. Frtunately, determinatin carried me t the finish. (30) (exhaust), I cnquered Wuling! What a tremendus feeling!

Sense f smell is ur mst rapid warning system
“The human avidance respnse t unpleasant smells assciated with danger has lng been seen as a 31 perceivable prcess, but ur study shws fr the first time that it’s uncnscius and extremely rapid,” says the study’s first authr Behzad Iravani, researcher at the Department f Clinical Neurscience, Karlinska Institutet.
The rgan relating t the sense f smell takes up abut five per cent f the human brain and enables us t 32 between many millin different smells. A large prprtin f these smells are assciated with a threat t ur health and 33 , such as that f chemicals and rtten fd. Smell signals reach the brain within 100 t 150 millisecnds after being breathed in thrugh the nse.
A. ptentiallyB. results
C. rewards
D. sensitiveE. survival
F. transmitG. distinguish
H. respnding
I. develpedJ. cnscius
K. rapidly
The survival f all living rganisms depends n their ability t avid danger and seek 34 . In humans, the smell sense seems particularly imprtant fr detecting and reacting t 35 harmful substance.
It has lng been a mystery just which sensry systems are invlved in the change f an unpleasant smell int avidance behavir in humans. Researchers at Karlinska Institutet have nw 36 a methd that fr the first time has made it pssible t measure signals frm the human smell rgan, which prcesses smells and in turn can 37 signals t parts f the brain that cntrl mvement and avidance behavir.
Their 38 are based n three experiments in which participants were asked t rate their experience f six different smells, sme psitive, sme negative, while the electrphysilgical activity f the smell rgan when 39 t each f the smells was measured.
“It was clear that the rgan reacts specifically and 40 t negative smells and sends a direct
signal t the uter layer f the rgan within abut 300 ms,” says the study’s last authr Jhan Lundström. ” The signal causes the persn t uncnsciusly lean back and away frm the surce f the smell.”
Reading Cmprehensin Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
While peple wh are bth trustwrthy and capable are the mst sught after when it cmes t team assembly, friendliness and trustwrthiness are ften mre imprtant factrs than ability.
“We assume that peple are 41 fr imprtant task frces and teams because f the knwledge, skills and abilities they bring t the table. Hwever, this research suggests that peple may ften get picked because team members feel 42 with them,” said Cynthia Maupin, assistant prfessr f rganizatinal behavir and leadership in Binghamtn University’s Schl f Management. “Peple may be willing t 43 a bit in terms f perfrmance in rder t have a really psitive team experience.”
Maupin and her clleagues fcused n a grup f MBA students t cnduct their study. Students were 44 assigned t teams at the beginning f the semester t wrk n class prjects and assignments. Tward the end f the semester, students were asked t frm their wn teams and
45 why they selected each member f their grup.
“We wanted t find ut what peple did t 46 t thers that they might be smene wh wuld be gd t team up with in the future,” Maupin said.
The researchers 47 lked at hw students signaled their human capital, the ability t d their tasks well, and their scial capital, the 48 t which they were friendly and trustwrthy, t ther students by studying their use f either challenging r supprtive vice:
Challenging vice: Cmmunicating in a way that challenges the present circumstances and is
49 new ideas and efficiency.
Supprtive vice: Cmmunicating in a way that 50 scial ties and trust, and builds friendly unity f a team.
The researchers fund that peple wh 51 bth abilities, thrugh the use f challenging vice, and trustwrthiness, thrugh the use f supprtive vice, were the mst in-demand peple when it came t 52 teams.
“As might be expected, anyne wh was very strng in terms f signaling bth their human and scial capital were extremely sught after. They’re ding all the right things t 53 that they’re bth trustwrthy and a gd wrker,” Maupin said.
Hwever, the researchers fund that students wh nly exhibited scial capital thrugh 54 vice were mre sught after than thse wh nly signaled their ability thrugh the use f challenging vice.
“Our findings suggest that when peple feel like they can trust yu, even if yu’re nt 55 the best wrker, they’re ging t be mre likely t want t wrk with yu,” Maupin said. “They knw that there are likely t be fewer interpersnal issues in that case.”
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
Early n, by age nine perhaps, I discvered my passin fr bth reading and writing fictin. The discvery was sudden and unexpected: ne very ht summer day in Birmingham (n air cnditining), while reading, I realized I was trembling with cld. I had becme caught up in a Laura Ingalls Wilder descriptin f a snwstrm. Hw is this pssible? I asked myself, and the answer came immediately. It’s these wrds. Just these wrds have made me feel cld. Full f wnder and admiratin fr Laura’s writing, I thught, I’d like t be able t d that smeday.
Nnetheless, I fund myself beginning cllege as a premedical student with the intentin f becming a dctr. Yu see, I wanted t d gd, r t be a gd persn, ne devted t the welfare f thers. And what f my wn lve f reading and my interest in imaginative writing? Bth still gave me immense pleasure, thugh I was failing chemistry. But what gd is literature? I asked myself. And I asked my serius-minded student friends the same questin. T spend my life merely ding what I lved seemed unacceptably self-centered.

Sectin B
One day in a literature class at my small, excellent liberal arts cllege, the knwledgeable prfessr, wh was als dean f the cllege, psed a questin that nne f us culd answer: “In what way are Huck f Huckleberry Finn and Pip f Charles Dickens’s Great Expectatins alike?” While I did nt knw the answer, what I did knw—in a strange flash f awareness—was that whatever the answer, it wuld be f crucial imprtance t the yung man sitting acrss the crridr frm me.
And wh was he? A brilliant persn, a trubled persn fr all his brilliance, smene I lved and admired.
The prfessr answered his wn questin. “Bth are bys in search f a father.” And I knew my friend acrss the crridr, thrugh literature, suddenly understd his wn cnfusin. He knew in an instinctive way smething f vital imprtance. What was true f thse fictive bys was als true f him: he needed t becme a guiding father t himself.
The class was ver. As my friend Dwight and I walked ut the dr tgether int the hall, he said withut lking at me, “And hw can yu dubt, Sena, that literature can d gd in the wrld?” Withut lking at him, but sure bth his eyes and my eyes were shined with tears, I replied, “I knw. I knw.” I knew that literature culd and des make ideas and feelings real, dramatic, and accessible in a way that enhances the quality f ur lives.
And s I gave myself permissin t embrace a literary life, bth as reader and as writer. If smething I might cme t write ffered ne wnderful persn a new and needed perspective, then I culd justify chsing a life fr myself in literature.
That was all a very lng time ag, abut half a century ag. My friend wuld die in an aut accident befre he was twenty-ne. And I wuld live t be extrardinarily happy in my chice f prfessins.
This I believe: that the arts must be a part f educatin at all levels, that the arts can and d ffer us nt nly pleasure but als invaluable insights int urselves and ur wrld.
What was the embarrassing situatin Sena the authr f the passage faced?
She was attracted by Laura’s writing but felt extremely cld.
She did nt knw hw t answer the questin but it was imprtant.
She lved literature but wanted t d smething gd fr humanity.
She admired her brilliant friend Dwight but he died in an accident.
The authr f the passage mentined her friend Dwight t demnstrate.
nly he culd answer the prfessr’s questin
he was the very persn she lved and admired
literature becmes a guiding father t himself
literature ffers us priceless insights int urselves
It can be cncluded that the authr decided t.
fllw her passin fr being a dctr
devte herself t literature in her life
be a reader t enhance the quality f her life
be a dctr and engaged in literature smetimes
What might be the best title fr the passage?
A life in literatureB. A medical career
C. An unfrgettable lessnD. An unexpected accident
(B)
Physical rest
This is the usual definitin f rest were a familiar with. But while we knw we need t spend a decent number f hurs in bed t stay healthy, a steady persistent supprt f studies shws a large prprtin f us still dn’t get enugh physical rest.
Mental rest
Always have a trnad f thughts spinning in yur head frm the mment yu wake up t the mment yu finally fall asleep? Yu need mre mental rest, and even if yu sleep a slid eight hurs a night, yu’re nt ging t feel fully recharged until yu get it.
“The gd news is yu dn’t have t quit yur jb r g n vacatin t fix this. Schedule shrt breaks t ccur every tw hurs thrughut yur wrkday these breaks can remind yu t slw dwn. Yu might als keep a ntepad by the bed t write dwn any painful thughts that wuld keep yu awake,” suggests Daltn-smith.
Sensry rest
Staring at screens all day and all night means yur eyes never get a prper rest, but this isn’t the nly reasn many f us never give ur senses a break. Nisy cites, sharp sund annuncements and lud music all cntribute t cnstant sensry stimulatin. Yur brain needs a rest nw and again. Cnsciusly clse yur eyes and give yurself the gift f silence fr shrt perids thrughut the day.
Emtinal rest
This “means having the time and space t freely express yur feelings and cut back n peple-pleasing,” Daltn-smith explains. “Emtinal rest als requires the curage t be genuine. An emtinally rested persn can answer the questin, ‘Hw are yu tday?’ with a truthful
‘I’m nt kay’-and then g n t share sme hard things that therwise g unsaid.”
In ther wrds, we all need the space t stp pretending fr urselves and thers and get real abut ur feelings.
Even if the wrld makes it hard t relax, we all need t find a way t reset and recharge. We g thrugh life thinking we’ve rested because we have gtten enugh sleep―but in reality we are missing ut n the ther types f rest we desperately need. Saudra Daltn-Smith, a physician, utlines different types f rest that are essential fr human grwing.
Which f the fllwing statement is true abut the types f rest mentined in the passage?
Physical rest means lying in bed fr a prper perid and exercising.
Mental rest indicates resting every tw hurs when yu’re wrking.
Sensry rest means keeping silent frequently and staring at screens.
Emtinal rest means pretending t share private affairs with thers.
What type f rest d yu need mst if yu’re wrking with a cmputer in an ffice?
Physical restB. Mental restC. Sensry restD. Emtinal rest
It can be cncluded that if a persn feels tired, he shuld.
try t identify just what srt f rest he’s lacking exactly
spend sme time with thse wh can energize him
have the fur types f rest mentined in the passage in rder
have a need t feel cnnected t smething larger than himself
(C)
Transhumanism, first cined in 1957 by bilgist Julian Huxley, meant “man remaining man, but ging beynd himself by realizing new pssibilities f and fr his human nature.” Generally speaking, transhumanism in its mdern meaning implies that human beings can be enhanced by the means f science t the extent when they rise abve bilgical limitatins and capabilities prgrammed by nature. The species int which humanity transfrms this way will be called pst human, r trans human, as it wuld have be smething new—based n human nature, but ging beynd it at the same time.
There are numerus areas which, accrding t transhumanists, require enhancement, as well as there are cuntless prpsals n the means f such enhancement. In particular, transhumanists wrk n such prblems as vercming the physical bundaries f the human bdy. Starting with aging, which they believe t be rather a disease than a natural prcess, and ending up with replacing rgans with their artificial nes, transhumanists believe that the human bdy is imperfect, and that it shuld be imprved. All kinds f nantechnlgies fr repairing damaged rgans; nerve stimulants and drugs t alter md and eliminate negative emtins; brain implants and implanted technlgies t allw intercnnectivity between multiple human beings and t advance intelligence—these and many mre actins are just sme f the means transhumanists plan t use t make humanity better. Sme f the technlgies transhumanists plan t emply t push the bundaries f humanity are available already. Fr example, gene therapy allwing t cure r stp certain diseases that were cnsidered terminal; CRISPRi r SHARP-2 methds, which were discvered nt s lng ag, have already prved t be efficient in treating a number f cmplicated medical cnditins, and in case further research is cnducted, they might significantly imprve the quality f medicine wrldwide. Virtual reality, anther technlgy frm science-fictin mvies f the late 1980s, has becme nt s virtual either, after all. VR device can be easily purchased frm nline stres, and the prices are affrdable—given that we are speaking f technlgy capable f substituting actual reality. S far, it has been mstly used fr games and educatin, but in the future, the range f its useful applicatins will definitely braden. Other technlgies, which have nt yet been invented but which definitely will, include large scale engineering, self-cpying rbtics, artificial intelligence, mind uplading
technlgies, mlecular manufacturing, space clnizatin, and ther technlgical wnders.
Abut a hundred years ag, the idea f flying in the skies seemed absurd, until Wilbur and Orville Wright prved this assumptin wrng. Wh knws, perhaps in a cuple f decades the cncepts listed here, n matter hw fantastic they lk nw, will becme reality. Mral aspects and the price humanity will have t pay fr such advancements are a different subject.
Which f the fllwing statements is true abut transhumanism?
Prmting human health but remaining their physical appearances
Imprving the human cnditin thrugh scial and cultural change
Develping human beings beynd their natural capabilities by technlgy.
Ging beynd human beings physical limitatins thrugh natural evlutin.
Transhumanists’ plan is based n the belief that.
replacing rgans with their artificial nes is ideal
aging is rather a disease than a natural prcess
it’s practical t use nantechnlgies t imprve life
the human bdy is imperfect and needs imprvement
The underlined wrd “absurd” (last paragraph) is clsest in meaning t.
ridiculusB. creativeC. reasnableD. practical
This passage is particularly written abut.

Sectin C
Besides, yu might have nticed hw unwilling yu may be when having t aplgize in frnt f a different persn–even if it was yu wh were wrng.
This varies depending n the weight f a decisin that needs t be made.
Unlike many peple gt used t believing, prcrastinatin is nt a negative feature f character such as laziness.
Usually, peple tend t see prcrastinatin as smething bad.
In fact, prcrastinating in this case is als beneficial.
A pressing matter, an urgent dcument that needs t be written by the end f the day, an especially difficult piece f wrk, whatever.
Directins: Read the fllwing passages. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
Why Yu Shuld Nt Wrry Abut Prcrastinatin
Perhaps every persn n Earth has at least nce been in a situatin when he r she has an urgent task t d, but instead f challenging it head n, he r she pstpnes wrking n this task fr as lng as pssible. This delay can take varius frms: frm ding nthing, t ding a lt f wrk–just nt the wrk that shuld be dne. The phenmenn described here is called prcrastinatin, and its rts g much deeper than mere laziness.
(67). They invent dzens f strategies hw t stp prcrastinating and increase their efficiency, frgetting abut the fact that like many ther psychlgical mechanisms, prcrastinatin serves its wn purpse, and prbably even carries a message wrth decding. S, instead f blaming yurself fr being lazy, the next time yu prcrastinate, try t lk past it, and figure ut what is happening t yu. Mst likely, prcrastinatin is yur friend. Why?
There are several arguments prving this statement. First f all, it helps yu figure ut yur mst pressing pririties. Usually, yu will nt prcrastinate ver sme minr task such as sharpening a pencil r drinking a glass f water. Prblems start when there is smething imprtant r difficult that needs t be dne. Reasns keeping yu frm ding wrk can be different, but here is a clue t remember: try t figure ut what exactly makes yu avid–as a rule, it shuld be exactly what yur tp pririty task is at the mment. (68). On the ther hand, prcrastinatin may serve yu as an indicatr that yu are ding smething wrng, r that yu are pushing yurself t hard and need t take sme time t rest. Either way, the means yu use t vercme prcrastinatin is a different stry; s far, try seeing prcrastinatin as a marker, an index–and yu will discver that it can be quite useful.
Surprisingly enugh, prcrastinatin can even help yu fix a relatinship with anther persn. If yu had a fight, fr example, there is a perid f time when whatever yu say t each ther will mst likely be perceived with skepticism r even hstility. (69). In this case, prcrastinatin may give yu enugh time t make up yur mind, find yur curage, and think f the prper wrds r actins fr an aplgy. The same wrks fr anther persn: after a cl dwn perid, he r she will be mre susceptible t what yu have t say. Use this t yur advantage.
As we can see, prcrastinatin is nt necessarily a bad thing. (70). But it is rather a psychlgical instrument, the main functin f which is t slw yu dwn and give yu enugh time t srt ut yur pririties, gather infrmatin befre making an imprtant decisin, r finding prper wrds t make yur amends with anther persn. Thus, instead f aviding and denying prcrastinatin, yu might want t embrace it–at least smetimes.

Rmantic Attractin
Smetimes, it seems we are attracted twards peple rmantically in a puzzling manner. We see smene and ur rmantic side bursts ut. Hwever, it is nt a mystery t science and peple wh study scilgy. There are definite causes as t why peple becme rmantically attracted t each ther. These factrs are, similarity, cmmunicatin, and hnesty.
Thugh peple ften say ppsites attract, similarity ften cnnects individuals in a rmantic way. In fact, based n research dne by the University f Clrad Bulder, we tend t chse partners wh have a similar DNA t urs. Of curse we cannt examine the DNA f thers readily, but we can naturally “feel” if peple are a genetic match fr us.
Cmmunicatin is anther essential factr in the rmantic attractin way. If we feel a deep cnnectin t smene thrugh the ease f talking with them, we are much mre likely t be attracted t that persn. It is difficult t be rmantically invlved with smene yu can barely cmmunicate with. And as a side nte, there are peple we are nt attracted t each ther in appearance, but after cmmunicating with them fr sme time, we suddenly becme rmantically interested in them.
Friends ften cnnect thrugh nticing the hnesty f thers, but this als lends t rmantic attractin. Accrding t Kelly Campbell, PhD, “Chemistry ccurs mst ften between peple wh are dwn-t-earth and sincere. This is because if a persn is cmfrtable with themselves, they are better able t express their true self t the wrld, which makes it easier t get t knw them, even if perspectives n imprtant matters differed”. This adds t the perspective that easy cmmunicatin between peple cntributes t rmantic attractin.

Rising T the Challenge
Cyclists must dig deep t cmplete what’s been called the tughest climb in the wrld. They race up t Wuling Peak t the finish line in the King f the Muntain (KOM) Challenge. Every Octber sme f the wrld’s best cyclists battle (21) the title. Starting at sea level, the rute climbs t a height f 3, 275 meters at the end, cvering 105 kilmeters.
Ever since I started cycling seven years ag, cmpleting the KOM climb (22) (be) a gal f mine. Every year I thught that I needed t prepare fr it and used that as my excuse. But (23) (lk) back, I realize I wuld have been fine. Cycling uphill was n prblem fr me then- it was thrilling. Nw it’s exhausting.
Last summer I finally decided t take n Wuling with sme friends. Our 89-kilmeter rute started at the base f the muntain and was a little shrter than the fficial KOM race. But it’s the final 10 kilmeters (24) are the mst demanding: This is the steepest part, (25) makes the climb s hard.
We began early in the mrning as a grup f 17 riders. But nly three f us wuld make it t the tp. A supprt car was necessary, especially n a ride like this, (26) (help) keep us energetic.
The first part f the ride went thrugh Tark Valley, a magnificent park. I’ve hiked there, (27)
I’ve always wanted t bike it. I saw dramatic rcky utcrps, canyns, waterfalls and frests as I zipped thrugh the valley and up the muntain rad. Even thugh it was August, the weather was perfect. Unfrtunately, the supprt car that carried ur lunch (28) (delay). By the time it arrived, I was starving. Being cnsumed f energy even fr that shrt time affected the rest f my ride. When the hard last 10 kilmeters arrived, I really struggled t cmplete them. At ne pint I
(29) see hw clse the tp f the peak was, but it still felt s far away. Frtunately, determinatin carried me t the finish. (30) (exhaust), I cnquered Wuling! What a tremendus feeling!

Sense f smell is ur mst rapid warning system
“The human avidance respnse t unpleasant smells assciated with danger has lng been seen as a 31 perceivable prcess, but ur study shws fr the first time that it’s uncnscius and extremely rapid,” says the study’s first authr Behzad Iravani, researcher at the Department f Clinical Neurscience, Karlinska Institutet.
The rgan relating t the sense f smell takes up abut five per cent f the human brain and enables us t 32 between many millin different smells. A large prprtin f these smells are assciated with a threat t ur health and 33 , such as that f chemicals and rtten fd. Smell signals reach the brain within 100 t 150 millisecnds after being breathed in thrugh the nse.
A. ptentiallyB. results
C. rewards
D. sensitiveE. survival
F. transmitG. distinguish
H. respnding
I. develpedJ. cnscius
K. rapidly
The survival f all living rganisms depends n their ability t avid danger and seek 34 . In humans, the smell sense seems particularly imprtant fr detecting and reacting t 35 harmful substance.
It has lng been a mystery just which sensry systems are invlved in the change f an unpleasant smell int avidance behavir in humans. Researchers at Karlinska Institutet have nw 36 a methd that fr the first time has made it pssible t measure signals frm the human smell rgan, which prcesses smells and in turn can 37 signals t parts f the brain that cntrl mvement and avidance behavir.
Their 38 are based n three experiments in which participants were asked t rate their experience f six different smells, sme psitive, sme negative, while the electrphysilgical activity f the smell rgan when 39 t each f the smells was measured.
“It was clear that the rgan reacts specifically and 40 t negative smells and sends a direct
signal t the uter layer f the rgan within abut 300 ms,” says the study’s last authr Jhan Lundström. ” The signal causes the persn t uncnsciusly lean back and away frm the surce f the smell.”
Reading Cmprehensin Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
While peple wh are bth trustwrthy and capable are the mst sught after when it cmes t team assembly, friendliness and trustwrthiness are ften mre imprtant factrs than ability.
“We assume that peple are 41 fr imprtant task frces and teams because f the knwledge, skills and abilities they bring t the table. Hwever, this research suggests that peple may ften get picked because team members feel 42 with them,” said Cynthia Maupin, assistant prfessr f rganizatinal behavir and leadership in Binghamtn University’s Schl f Management. “Peple may be willing t 43 a bit in terms f perfrmance in rder t have a really psitive team experience.”
Maupin and her clleagues fcused n a grup f MBA students t cnduct their study. Students were 44 assigned t teams at the beginning f the semester t wrk n class prjects and assignments. Tward the end f the semester, students were asked t frm their wn teams and
45 why they selected each member f their grup.
“We wanted t find ut what peple did t 46 t thers that they might be smene wh wuld be gd t team up with in the future,” Maupin said.
The researchers 47 lked at hw students signaled their human capital, the ability t d their tasks well, and their scial capital, the 48 t which they were friendly and trustwrthy, t ther students by studying their use f either challenging r supprtive vice:
Challenging vice: Cmmunicating in a way that challenges the present circumstances and is
49 new ideas and efficiency.
Supprtive vice: Cmmunicating in a way that 50 scial ties and trust, and builds friendly unity f a team.
The researchers fund that peple wh 51 bth abilities, thrugh the use f challenging vice, and trustwrthiness, thrugh the use f supprtive vice, were the mst in-demand peple when it came t 52 teams.
“As might be expected, anyne wh was very strng in terms f signaling bth their human and scial capital were extremely sught after. They’re ding all the right things t 53 that they’re bth trustwrthy and a gd wrker,” Maupin said.
Hwever, the researchers fund that students wh nly exhibited scial capital thrugh 54 vice were mre sught after than thse wh nly signaled their ability thrugh the use f challenging vice.
“Our findings suggest that when peple feel like they can trust yu, even if yu’re nt 55 the best wrker, they’re ging t be mre likely t want t wrk with yu,” Maupin said. “They knw that there are likely t be fewer interpersnal issues in that case.”
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
Early n, by age nine perhaps, I discvered my passin fr bth reading and writing fictin. The discvery was sudden and unexpected: ne very ht summer day in Birmingham (n air cnditining), while reading, I realized I was trembling with cld. I had becme caught up in a Laura Ingalls Wilder descriptin f a snwstrm. Hw is this pssible? I asked myself, and the answer came immediately. It’s these wrds. Just these wrds have made me feel cld. Full f wnder and admiratin fr Laura’s writing, I thught, I’d like t be able t d that smeday.
Nnetheless, I fund myself beginning cllege as a premedical student with the intentin f becming a dctr. Yu see, I wanted t d gd, r t be a gd persn, ne devted t the welfare f thers. And what f my wn lve f reading and my interest in imaginative writing? Bth still gave me immense pleasure, thugh I was failing chemistry. But what gd is literature? I asked myself. And I asked my serius-minded student friends the same questin. T spend my life merely ding what I lved seemed unacceptably self-centered.

Sectin B
One day in a literature class at my small, excellent liberal arts cllege, the knwledgeable prfessr, wh was als dean f the cllege, psed a questin that nne f us culd answer: “In what way are Huck f Huckleberry Finn and Pip f Charles Dickens’s Great Expectatins alike?” While I did nt knw the answer, what I did knw—in a strange flash f awareness—was that whatever the answer, it wuld be f crucial imprtance t the yung man sitting acrss the crridr frm me.
And wh was he? A brilliant persn, a trubled persn fr all his brilliance, smene I lved and admired.
The prfessr answered his wn questin. “Bth are bys in search f a father.” And I knew my friend acrss the crridr, thrugh literature, suddenly understd his wn cnfusin. He knew in an instinctive way smething f vital imprtance. What was true f thse fictive bys was als true f him: he needed t becme a guiding father t himself.
The class was ver. As my friend Dwight and I walked ut the dr tgether int the hall, he said withut lking at me, “And hw can yu dubt, Sena, that literature can d gd in the wrld?” Withut lking at him, but sure bth his eyes and my eyes were shined with tears, I replied, “I knw. I knw.” I knew that literature culd and des make ideas and feelings real, dramatic, and accessible in a way that enhances the quality f ur lives.
And s I gave myself permissin t embrace a literary life, bth as reader and as writer. If smething I might cme t write ffered ne wnderful persn a new and needed perspective, then I culd justify chsing a life fr myself in literature.
That was all a very lng time ag, abut half a century ag. My friend wuld die in an aut accident befre he was twenty-ne. And I wuld live t be extrardinarily happy in my chice f prfessins.
This I believe: that the arts must be a part f educatin at all levels, that the arts can and d ffer us nt nly pleasure but als invaluable insights int urselves and ur wrld.
What was the embarrassing situatin Sena the authr f the passage faced?
She was attracted by Laura’s writing but felt extremely cld.
She did nt knw hw t answer the questin but it was imprtant.
She lved literature but wanted t d smething gd fr humanity.
She admired her brilliant friend Dwight but he died in an accident.
The authr f the passage mentined her friend Dwight t demnstrate.
nly he culd answer the prfessr’s questin
he was the very persn she lved and admired
literature becmes a guiding father t himself
literature ffers us priceless insights int urselves
It can be cncluded that the authr decided t.
fllw her passin fr being a dctr
devte herself t literature in her life
be a reader t enhance the quality f her life
be a dctr and engaged in literature smetimes
What might be the best title fr the passage?
A life in literatureB. A medical career
C. An unfrgettable lessnD. An unexpected accident
(B)

“The gd news is yu dn’t have t quit yur jb r g n vacatin t fix this. Schedule shrt breaks t ccur every tw hurs thrughut yur wrkday these breaks can remind yu t slw dwn. Yu might als keep a ntepad by the bed t write dwn any painful thughts that wuld keep yu awake,” suggests Daltn-smith.
Sensry rest
Staring at screens all day and all night means yur eyes never get a prper rest, but this isn’t the nly reasn many f us never give ur senses a break. Nisy cites, sharp sund annuncements and lud music all cntribute t cnstant sensry stimulatin. Yur brain needs a rest nw and again. Cnsciusly clse yur eyes and give yurself the gift f silence fr shrt perids thrughut the day.
Emtinal rest
This “means having the time and space t freely express yur feelings and cut back n peple-pleasing,” Daltn-smith explains. “Emtinal rest als requires the curage t be genuine. An emtinally rested persn can answer the questin, ‘Hw are yu tday?’ with a truthful
‘I’m nt kay’-and then g n t share sme hard things that therwise g unsaid.”
In ther wrds, we all need the space t stp pretending fr urselves and thers and get real abut ur feelings.
Even if the wrld makes it hard t relax, we all need t find a way t reset and recharge. We g thrugh life thinking we’ve rested because we have gtten enugh sleep―but in reality we are missing ut n the ther types f rest we desperately need. Saudra Daltn-Smith, a physician, utlines different types f rest that are essential fr human grwing.
Which f the fllwing statement is true abut the types f rest mentined in the passage?
Physical rest means lying in bed fr a prper perid and exercising.
Mental rest indicates resting every tw hurs when yu’re wrking.
Sensry rest means keeping silent frequently and staring at screens.
Emtinal rest means pretending t share private affairs with thers.
What type f rest d yu need mst if yu’re wrking with a cmputer in an ffice?
Physical restB. Mental restC. Sensry restD. Emtinal rest
It can be cncluded that if a persn feels tired, he shuld.
try t identify just what srt f rest he’s lacking exactly
spend sme time with thse wh can energize him
have the fur types f rest mentined in the passage in rder
have a need t feel cnnected t smething larger than himself
(C)
Transhumanism, first cined in 1957 by bilgist Julian Huxley, meant “man remaining man, but ging beynd himself by realizing new pssibilities f and fr his human nature.” Generally speaking, transhumanism in its mdern meaning implies that human beings can be enhanced by the means f science t the extent when they rise abve bilgical limitatins and capabilities prgrammed by nature. The species int which humanity transfrms this way will be called pst human, r trans human, as it wuld have be smething new—based n human nature, but ging beynd it at the same time.
There are numerus areas which, accrding t transhumanists, require enhancement, as well as there are cuntless prpsals n the means f such enhancement. In particular, transhumanists wrk n such prblems as vercming the physical bundaries f the human bdy. Starting with aging, which they believe t be rather a disease than a natural prcess, and ending up with replacing rgans with their artificial nes, transhumanists believe that the human bdy is imperfect, and that it shuld be imprved. All kinds f nantechnlgies fr repairing damaged rgans; nerve stimulants and drugs t alter md and eliminate negative emtins; brain implants and implanted technlgies t allw intercnnectivity between multiple human beings and t advance intelligence—these and many mre actins are just sme f the means transhumanists plan t use t make humanity better. Sme f the technlgies transhumanists plan t emply t push the bundaries f humanity are available already. Fr example, gene therapy allwing t cure r stp certain diseases that were cnsidered terminal; CRISPRi r SHARP-2 methds, which were discvered nt s lng ag, have already prved t be efficient in treating a number f cmplicated medical cnditins, and in case further research is cnducted, they might significantly imprve the quality f medicine wrldwide. Virtual reality, anther technlgy frm science-fictin mvies f the late 1980s, has becme nt s virtual either, after all. VR device can be easily purchased frm nline stres, and the prices are affrdable—given that we are speaking f technlgy capable f substituting actual reality. S far, it has been mstly used fr games and educatin, but in the future, the range f its useful applicatins will definitely braden. Other technlgies, which have nt yet been invented but which definitely will, include large scale engineering, self-cpying rbtics, artificial intelligence, mind uplading
technlgies, mlecular manufacturing, space clnizatin, and ther technlgical wnders.
Abut a hundred years ag, the idea f flying in the skies seemed absurd, until Wilbur and Orville Wright prved this assumptin wrng. Wh knws, perhaps in a cuple f decades the cncepts listed here, n matter hw fantastic they lk nw, will becme reality. Mral aspects and the price humanity will have t pay fr such advancements are a different subject.
Which f the fllwing statements is true abut transhumanism?
Prmting human health but remaining their physical appearances
Imprving the human cnditin thrugh scial and cultural change
Develping human beings beynd their natural capabilities by technlgy.
Ging beynd human beings physical limitatins thrugh natural evlutin.
Transhumanists’ plan is based n the belief that.
replacing rgans with their artificial nes is ideal
aging is rather a disease than a natural prcess
it’s practical t use nantechnlgies t imprve life
the human bdy is imperfect and needs imprvement
The underlined wrd “absurd” (last paragraph) is clsest in meaning t.
ridiculusB. creativeC. reasnableD. practical
This passage is particularly written abut.
varius kinds f definitins f transhumanism

Sectin C
Besides, yu might have nticed hw unwilling yu may be when having t aplgize in frnt f a different persn–even if it was yu wh were wrng.
This varies depending n the weight f a decisin that needs t be made.
Unlike many peple gt used t believing, prcrastinatin is nt a negative feature f character such as laziness.
Usually, peple tend t see prcrastinatin as smething bad.
In fact, prcrastinating in this case is als beneficial.
A pressing matter, an urgent dcument that needs t be written by the end f the day, an especially difficult piece f wrk, whatever.
Directins: Read the fllwing passages. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
Why Yu Shuld Nt Wrry Abut Prcrastinatin
Perhaps every persn n Earth has at least nce been in a situatin when he r she has an urgent task t d, but instead f challenging it head n, he r she pstpnes wrking n this task fr as lng as pssible. This delay can take varius frms: frm ding nthing, t ding a lt f wrk–just nt the wrk that shuld be dne. The phenmenn described here is called prcrastinatin, and its rts g much deeper than mere laziness.
(67). They invent dzens f strategies hw t stp prcrastinating and increase their efficiency, frgetting abut the fact that like many ther psychlgical mechanisms, prcrastinatin serves its wn purpse, and prbably even carries a message wrth decding. S, instead f blaming yurself fr being lazy, the next time yu prcrastinate, try t lk past it, and figure ut what is happening t yu. Mst likely, prcrastinatin is yur friend. Why?
There are several arguments prving this statement. First f all, it helps yu figure ut yur mst pressing pririties. Usually, yu will nt prcrastinate ver sme minr task such as sharpening a pencil r drinking a glass f water. Prblems start when there is smething imprtant r difficult that needs t be dne. Reasns keeping yu frm ding wrk can be different, but here is a clue t remember: try t figure ut what exactly makes yu avid–as a rule, it shuld be exactly what yur tp pririty task is at the mment. (68). On the ther hand, prcrastinatin may serve yu as an indicatr that yu are ding smething wrng, r that yu are pushing yurself t hard and need t take sme time t rest. Either way, the means yu use t vercme prcrastinatin is a different stry; s far, try seeing prcrastinatin as a marker, an index–and yu will discver that it can be quite useful.
Surprisingly enugh, prcrastinatin can even help yu fix a relatinship with anther persn. If yu had a fight, fr example, there is a perid f time when whatever yu say t each ther will mst likely be perceived with skepticism r even hstility. (69). In this case, prcrastinatin may give yu enugh time t make up yur mind, find yur curage, and think f the prper wrds r actins fr an aplgy. The same wrks fr anther persn: after a cl dwn perid, he r she will be mre susceptible t what yu have t say. Use this t yur advantage.
As we can see, prcrastinatin is nt necessarily a bad thing. (70). But it is rather a psychlgical instrument, the main functin f which is t slw yu dwn and give yu enugh time t srt ut yur pririties, gather infrmatin befre making an imprtant decisin, r finding prper wrds t make yur amends with anther persn. Thus, instead f aviding and denying prcrastinatin, yu might want t embrace it–at least smetimes.

Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Rmantic Attractin
Smetimes, it seems we are attracted twards peple rmantically in a puzzling manner. We see smene and ur rmantic side bursts ut. Hwever, it is nt a mystery t science and peple wh study scilgy. There are definite causes as t why peple becme rmantically attracted t each ther. These factrs are, similarity, cmmunicatin, and hnesty.
Thugh peple ften say ppsites attract, similarity ften cnnects individuals in a rmantic way. In fact, based n research dne by the University f Clrad Bulder, we tend t chse partners wh have a similar DNA t urs. Of curse we cannt examine the DNA f thers readily, but we can naturally “feel” if peple are a genetic match fr us.
Cmmunicatin is anther essential factr in the rmantic attractin way. If we feel a deep cnnectin t smene thrugh the ease f talking with them, we are much mre likely t be attracted t that persn. It is difficult t be rmantically invlved with smene yu can barely cmmunicate with. And as a side nte, there are peple we are nt attracted t each ther in appearance, but after cmmunicating with them fr sme time, we suddenly becme rmantically interested in them.
Friends ften cnnect thrugh nticing the hnesty f thers, but this als lends t rmantic attractin. Accrding t Kelly Campbell, PhD, “Chemistry ccurs mst ften between peple wh are dwn-t-earth and sincere. This is because if a persn is cmfrtable with themselves, they are better able t express their true self t the wrld, which makes it easier t get t knw them, even if perspectives n imprtant matters differed”. This adds t the perspective that easy cmmunicatin between peple cntributes t rmantic attractin.
