21、What does being happy have to do with luck? To answer the question, a team of researchers from the UK and Hong Kong gave surveys to 844 English-speaking university students in Hong Kong. The survey questions measured their thoughts about luck and their happiness levels.

The researchers observed that less happy people believed in external (外在的) luck—the “Good luck with that!” variety that controls our good or bad. The authors point out that blaming “luck” for events and experiences makes people lose personal self-determination, which diminishes their sense of purpose and, in turn, their happiness. Believing we need luck to be successful may make us less determined to reach goals and take risks.

On the other hand, happier people believed themselves to be personally lucky. Viewing yourself as lucky, the researchers suggest, shows an active and positive attitude that develops hope and self-acceptance. Personally lucky people may feel more confident to try new things or act in ways that help others.

How does luck influence those people? Next, the research team asked those people to fill another survey. They found that people who believed in external luck were more likely to be less active, and in turn were less happy. Those who believe they’re especially lucky suffer less of a hit to happiness.

This study has its value. However, the data all come from surveys filled out by those surveyed, which means the responses may be too personal. Moreover, the use of a one-time survey means we cannot say that one thing causes another.

Although there are some limits, this study stresses the value of thinking about luck as something that benefits us. Moreover, this study helps explain why we call people “happy go lucky”—because happy is how we feel when we focus on how personally lucky we are.

【1】What does the underlined word “diminishes” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Explains.

C．Develops.

【2】What can we know about personally lucky people?

A．They are always helped by others.

C．They have confidence in themselves.

D．They like changing their own goals.

【3】What does the author think of the study?

A．Its findings are unreliable.

B．It has space for improvement.

C．It is actually of little value.

D．Its research method is perfect.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．The Connection Between Happiness and Luck

B．Being Happy Has Nothing to Do With Luck

22、Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however.【1】. Here’s how:

Plan your time carefully.

When you plan your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc., then decide a good, regular time for studying.【2】. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

【3】

Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

Make good use of your time in class.

【4】. Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teachers say.

Study regularly.

When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 【5】. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover them after you have tried these.

A．Find a good place to study.

B．This will help you understand the next class.

C．Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.

D．Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.

E．No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.

G．Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teachers say in class.

23、Reading people’s minds seems to be a superpower that only exists in movies. But scientists have now made it possible to translate people’s brain waves!

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco developed a new device. It can turn brain waves into words on a screen in front of the user. In the study, they tested it with a paralyzed (瘫痪) man.

“To our knowledge, this is the first successful demonstration of direct decoding of full words from the brain of someone who is paralyzed and cannot speak.” said Edward Chang, the senior author of the study. Each year, thousands of people lose the ability to speak due to accidents or diseases. With up to 93 percent accuracy, the new device shows “strong promise” to let these people fully communicate in the future.

One problem with such mind-reading machines, however, is that they have to put electrodes into people’s brains. It’s inconvenient and has health risks. But scientists from the University of Texas, US, have taken steps to change this. They tried to translate people’s thoughts without even touching their heads, reported Live Science.

The new brain scanning technique is called FMRI, or functional magnetic resonance imaging. It’s a safer way of “reading” brain activity. Active brain cells have more oxygen. By tracking this, scientists can translate brain activity.

The team asked participants to listen to 16 hours of radio shows while scanning their brains. Then they used a computer algorithm (算法) to create a story based on the FMRI recording. It matched the radio shows pretty well.

In other tests, the algorithm could basically explain the story of a silent movie that the participants watched. It could even retell a story that the participants imagined in their heads. Although it’s not a word-for-word translation, the technique provides many possibilities.

【1】What do the words “strong promise” mean?

A．The device has high accuracy.

B．The device can make a promise.

C．The device makes no mistakes.

D．The device makes a paralyzed man speak.

【2】How does FMRI “read” people’s minds?

A．It puts electrodes into people’s brains.

B．It tracks the oxygen of brain cells.

C．It makes predictions based on people’s habits.

D．It guesses people’s thoughts randomly.

【3】What’s the advantage of FMRI compared to the first device mentioned in the story?

A．It’s safer.

B．It’s cheaper.

C．It’s smaller in size.

D．It’s more accurate.

【4】Which is TRUE about FMRI?

A．It can only record what participants hear.

B．It can record every detail of participants minds.

C．Its recordings can be used to retell what participants had seen and heard.

D．It is accurate because it can tell imagination from fact.

24、   Getting back into a routine can be a challenge. If you ever wanted to understand how you could succeed in school, you’re in luck. 【1】 Here are some of the tips from the teachers to help you succeed in the next school year.

Use a calendar or chart(图表).

Hang a calendar on your refrigerator or somewhere else. 【2】 This helps you remember things you need to do. You can also make a chart. Then, use colorful pens to circle or draw a line under your homework, reading tasks or other activities. By using a chart, you learn how to plan for your studies.

【3】

Visit the bookstore or library every few weeks to find a new book to read on your own. The more kids get excited about reading on their own, the more their self-confidence will rise. They’ll also be better equipped to deal with challenging homework assignments.

Unplug for success.

Families should have a no electronics period when everyone turns off their devices(设备). 【4】 It’s amazing how you can reconnect with yourself and others when you’re not distracted(分散注意力) by technology.

Stay current.

【5】 Take a current-events article and look at the history of the event in an attempt to better understand its importance.

A.Book is a treat.

B.Stay up-to-date on some events.

C.Do keep papers and notes organized.

D.We already went straight to the source.

E.This way, families can spend time together.

F.Communicate with the teenagers outside school.

G.Write down special tasks, activities and important dates on it.
