21、   Personality is , to large extent, inherent (天生的). A-type parents usually bring about A-type offspring (产物). But the environment must also have a big effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor in the lives of their children.

One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the “win at all costs” moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying: “Rejoice, we conquer! ”.

By far the worst form of competition in school is the improper emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.

Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into ‘B’s. The world needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child’s personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.

【1】What affects the building of personality according to the passage?

A.inheritance, employment and examination.

B.inheritance, competition and environment.

C.competition, employment and questions.

D.environment, knowledge and examination.

【2】The underlined phrase “soak up” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.

A.abstract B.accept

C.absorb D.accomplish

【3】The author gives the example of Pheidippides in order to ______.

A.express the positive attitude toward the examinations

B.express his approval for the competition

C.show that he was too keen to win the game

D.show the consequence of the severe competition

【4】What attitude does the author hold toward examinations in schools?

A.positive. B.negative.

C.doubtful. D.acceptable.

【5】What suggestion does the author make concerning the management of a school?

A.All students at schools should be made into competitive A types.

B.A child’s personality be considered according to his possible future job.

C.All students should be changed into B characteristics.

D.All kinds of schools should get rid of all examinations.

22、   People like to post their selfies(自拍照) on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.

People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to narcissism(自恋), the researchers said. Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University, said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.

Besides, people who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the research found. Some people feel “peer(同伴) pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience, it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.

Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. But men who post selfies showed more of a need to be seen as popular than women who posted selfies.

Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. That was the old way of “clicking like”. On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos --- even if they click “like”.

【1】What is the research mainly about?

A. The ways of making people look better in selfies.

B. The reasons for people posting selfies on social media.

C. The differences between men and women in posting selfies.

D. The connections between posting selfies and mental health.

【2】What does the word “vanity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. A deep desire to know about something. B. A special need to be more popular.

C. Too much pride in one’s own appearance. D. Strong determination to improve oneself.

【3】What is Chock’s attitude towards selfie posting?

A. Ambiguous. B. Cautious. C. Disapproving. D. Supportive.

【4】From the last paragraph, we know that the older generations showed their photos to friends and family ______.

A. to win praise from viewers B. to show off their cameras

C. to improve relationships D. to share good moments

This has to be my favorite of the illustrated editions

So if you’re looking for a great present who loves Harry Potter, get these illustrated editions!

24、A

        Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket--- anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Researchers have just offered evidence in a study that says obesity appears to spread through social ties, much like a virus. When one person gains weight, their close friends often follow. But the finding might also offer hope.

The researchers examined more than 40,000 social ties. They found that a person’s chance of becoming severely overweight increased by 57% if a friend had become obese. A sister or brother of a person who became obese had a 40% increased chance of becoming obese. The risk for a wife or husband was a little less than that.

Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medial School was a lead investigator in the study. He says there is a direct causal relationship between a person getting fat and being followed in weight gain by a friend. The study found that the sex of the friends was also an influence. In same-sex friendships a person had a 70% increased risk of becoming obese. Men had a 44% increased risk of becoming obese after weight gain in brother. In sisters, it was 67%.

The researchers also considered the effect of where people lived in relation to each other. James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego, was the other lead investigator. He says a friend who lives a few hundred kilometers away has as much influence as one in the same neighborhood. He says the study demonstrates the need to consider that a major part of people’s health is tied to their social connections.

Both investigators say their research shows that obesity is not just a private medical issue, but a public health problem.
