Grwing up in Wyming, she was well aware f the lack f health care resurces in rural areas. Access t in-depth care fr cancer patients is hard t get. She’s wrked thrughut her career t change that.
In Wyming, there’s a great distance t travel between where peple live and where they can find a cancer specialist. “If yu need treatments and they have t be administered every day, and if it’s 120 miles frm where yu live, that ends up being a huge barrier t receiving the kind f care yu need.”
And nw Mnica serves as the vice president f the Calitin （联盟） f Cancer Cperative Grups （CCCG） — an internatinal netwrk f individuals wh wrk t imprve the quality f life and survival f cancer patients by increasing participatin in cancer clinical trials.
She said, “One f the really imprtant things is, we’re trying t make sure that cancer clinical trials can get t every single patient wh needs them in my wn state.” The calitin set up sites in nrthern and suthern Wyming that are able t run clinical trials. Befre thse trials became available, patients wuld usually g t Denver r Salt Lake City — a three-t-seven-hur drive.
Mnica’s effrts t increase access t the health care needs f her rural Wyming patients als include helping t develp new plicies that will allw patients t participate in mre clinical trials, and linking them with a reginal dctr wh can get them the access t the care they need.
In additin t the clinical trials, Mnica said that technlgy’s prgress like better cell phne and internet service in the muntains f Wyming, as well as scial media, has helped rural residents stay in tuch with lved nes and medical prfessinals despite their distance. She is trying t advcate strngly fr thse changes t cntinue.

Frm students t executives, intelligence is shwn t be a key factr in better leadership, as it is vital fr navigating thrugh cmplex situatins like market changes and legal bstacles. But new research n leadership suggests that having a higher IO can be viewed as harmful.
Past studies indicate that grups led by smarter individuals tend t perfrm better bjectively, yet sme research suggests fllwers perceive extremely intelligent leaders as less effective. Dean Simntn frm the University f Califrnia, prpsed that such leaders’ cmplex ideas might be difficult fr peple t grasp, their slutins harder t carry ut, and fllwers might find it harder t relate t them. Recently, Simntn and his team put this thery t the test.
The researchers lked at 379 male and female business leaders, acrss fields that included banking, retail （零售） and technlgy. The managers tk IQ tests, and each was rated n leadership style and effectiveness by an average f eight c-wrkers. IQ psitively crrelated with ratings f leader effectiveness, strategy frmatin, visin and several ther characteristics—up t a pint. The ratings peaked at an IQ f arund 120, which is higher than 8 percent f ffice wrkers. Beynd that the ratings declined. The researchers suggest the "ideal" IO culd be higher r lwer in varius fields, depending n whether technical versus scial skills are mre valued in a given wrk culture.
“It’s an interesting and thughtful paper,” says Paul Sackett, a psychlgy prfessr at the University f Minnesta. “T me, the right interpretatin f the wrk wuld be that it highlights a need t understand what high-IQ leaders d that leads t lwer pinins by fllwers. The wrng interpretatin wuld be, ‘Dn’t hire high-IQ leaders.”
The study’s lead authr, Jhn Antnakis, a psychlgist at the University f Lausanne, suggests leaders shuld use their intelligence t generate creative metaphrs （隐喻） that will persuade and inspire thers—the way frmer U. S. President Obama did. “I think the nly way a smart persn can signal their intelligence apprpriately and still cnnect with the peple,” Antnakis says, “is t speak in appealing ways.”
28. Why are sme high-IO leaders regarded as less effective?
A. Fllwers assess them irrespnsibly.
B. They fail t express themselves prperly.
C. Fllwers lack understanding pwer.
D. They perfrm better by bjective measures.
29. What des the IQ tests indicate?
A. IQ isn’t related t leader effectiveness.
B. IQ tests are useless and imperfect.
C. IQ can be affected by certain factrs.
D. IO is related t peple’s scial status.
30. What can be inferred frm what Paul Sackett says?
A. The research can be interpreted differently.
B. He was nt invlved in the research.
C. High-IQ leaders can’t be emplyed.
D. The research is interesting and accurate.
31. The “Obama” example in the last paragraph illustrates ______.
A hw t cmmunicate with peple effectively
B. hw t be a high-IQ leader in the future
C. what is the appealing way t speak t vters
D. what is the best way t generate creative metaphrs
D
New research has fund a link between the height f ceilings in exam halls and the perfrmance f students. While the shape f a rm can't make yu smarter, the envirnments we're in have an effect n us. The authrs f the study suggest that big and pen rms, with high ceilings, make it harder fr students t fcus n what's in frnt f them.
A previus study frm sme f the same researchers, making use f brain mapping technlgy and virtual reality, had fund a relatinship between cgnitive ability and the perceived size f a persn's surrundings. Here, the team wanted t d sme realwrld testing.
“We were curius t apply ur lab findings t a realwrld dataset and see if being in a large space while having t cncentrate n an imprtant task wuld result in a prer perfrmance，” says Isabella Bwer.
The study analyzed exam results frm 15，400 students ver eight years and acrss three campuses, referencing their scres against what was expected based n the cursewrk they'd previusly submitted.
In exam rms with high ceilings, students tended t underperfrm cmpared t thse taking exams in rms with a “standard” ceiling height, even after accunting fr age, gender, time, subject and prir exam experience—ther factrs ptentially affecting the results.
“The key pint is that large rms with high ceilings seem t disadvantage students and we need t understand what brain mechanisms（机制） are at play, and whether this affects all students t the same degree，” says Bwer.
Thse are questins that future research can find ut. It's clear that envirnment matters—and that we might nt give students the best chance fr success by hlding exams in rms that aren't custmbuilt fr the purpse.
“Examinatins have been a key part f ur educatin system fr ver 1，300 years, shaping students' career paths and lives，” says Jaclyn Bradbent. “It's crucial t recgnize the ptential impact f the physical envirnment n student perfrmance and make necessary adjustments t ensure all students have an equal pprtunity t succeed.”
（ ）32. Hw is the new study different frm the previus ne?
A. It finds a link between envirnment and student perfrmance.
B. It rules ut ptential factrs that may influence the results.
C. It makes use f brain mapping technlgy and virtual reality.
D. It is cnducted in a realwrld situatin instead f in labs.
（ ）33. What is future research expected t find ut?
A. Whether exam rms with high ceilings will disadvantage students.
B. Whether ther factrs culd ptentially affect the results f the study.
C. Whether students are equally affected in exam rms with high ceilings.
D. Whether brain mechanisms affect students in exam rms with high ceilings.
（ ）34. What's Jaclyn Bradbent's attitude t hlding exams in highceilinged rms?
A. Supprtive. B.. Oppsing. C. Objective D. Unclear.
（ ）35. In which clumn f a magazine can we prbably find this text?
A. Health. B.. Celebrity. C. Science D. Architecture.
