These small pages have held some very big names, including U.S. presidents, world leaders, sports legends, and, indeed, the biggest contributors of all, everyday Americans with a story to tell. These are some of our proudest moments. How to Keep Young Mentally by Mary B. Mullett This first article in the first issue highlighted inventor Alexander Graham Bell and his belief in lifelong learning: “The first essential of any real education is to observe. Observe! Remember! Compare!” It was an appropriate beginning. reflecting our self-educated founder’s endless curiosity. I’ve Come to Clean Your Shoes by Madge Harrah The morning of a family funeral, an acquaintance shows up unannounced and says, “I’ve come to clean your shoes.” He spends the day quietly shining every pair in the house. The writer ends with: “Now, whenever I hear of an acquaintance who has lost a loved one. I try to think of one specific task suiting that person’s need. And if the person says, ‘How did you know I needed that done?’ I reply, ‘it’s because a man once cleaned my shoes.’” Strange Encounter on Coho Creek by Morris Homer Erwin Aminer spends days camping in the Alaskan wilderness , working hard to earn the trust of a mother wolf stuck in a trap before she and her four pups starve to death. Eventually, he is able to free her. Four years later, he encounters a wolf in the same meadow. Yes, the same wolf. When we shared this classic on rd.com in 2019, it went viral and it has now been read by many millions online and in print. How Honest Are We by Ralph Kinney Bennett Our famous “wallet drop” set up the ultimate test of honesty: If we left wallets in cities around the country, how many would be returned? Well over half, it turned out—67 percent. The most honest city? Seattle, whose upstanding residents returned nine out of ten wallets. 21.

B I settled into my seat on a plane to Cuba feeling frustrated. When I planned the trip, I had assumed that my Cuban partner and I would go to the field directly to collect water samples from rivers. That’s how I’d done fieldwork in Namibia and Bolivia. But not in Cuba, it seemed. Five days earlier, a Cuban scientist had emailed to inform me that we would only be meeting to talk about our planned project. Sampling would happen during a later trip. At the airport, one of my partners greeted me. We drove to the research center where he worked, and then toured every lab in the building. I met scientists, technicians, students and even the cook. I was impressed that I was introduced to each person. The lack of hierarchy (等级制度) was unlike anything I had experienced before in academia (学术界). The next day, we met again to brainstorm. Together, we looked at maps to plan how we were going to collect samples. Had it not been for the Cubans, I would have been unaware that on my map I had left out some new reservoirs (水库). Local involvement and knowledge were key — making me wonder what I’d missed working without such a team in other places. Six months later, I flew back to Cuba and this time, we headed to the field. I was impressed again by the lengths to which my Cuban partners went to ensure that all team members were treated equally. We drove around Cuba in bright yellow minibuses, and each minibus had a mix of members at all seniority levels. In the field, all members sweated together. On the last night of the trip, we searched for a restaurant that could seat all 14 of us at one table. When a restaurant couldn’t accommodate the team without separating us, my partners insisted that we move on and find a place with a large enough table. In 26 years as a professor, I have never been a fan of academia’s hierarchy. I want everyone working with me to feel as though they are part of a team. But my Cuban partners take teamwork to another level entirely. They make it clear that all team members are valued, that everyone is equal, and that true teamwork makes for better science. 24. Why did the author feel frustrated in paragraph 1? A. He was asked to host a meeting in Cuba. B. He was told to change his planned project. C. He couldn’t do his work in his usual way in Cuba. D. He spent a long time waiting for his plane to Cuba. 25. What was wrong with the author’s map? A. It was torn up. B. It was outdated. C. It was too old to read. D. It was about another water area. 26. What can prove that the Cuban team didn’t have hierarchy? A. They drove minibuses to the field. B. They were friendly to the author. C. They worked in different groups. D. They had dinner at one table. 27. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. A fruitful trip in Cuba B. Impressed by a Cuban team C. Respect seniors in the team. D. You’ll never know until you try C We often think about relationships on a scale from positive to negative. We are drawn to loving family members, caring classmates and supportive mentors. We do our best to avoid the cruel uncle, the playground bully and the jerk boss. But the most toxic relationships aren’t the purely negative ones. They’re the ones that are a mix of positive and negative. We often call them frenemies, friends who sometimes help you and sometimes hurt you. But it’s not just friends. It’s the in-laws who volunteer to watch your kids but belittle your parenting style. The manager who praises your work but denies you a promotion. Everyone knows how relationships like that can tie your stomach into a knot. But groundbreaking research led by the psychologists Bert Uchino and Julianne Holt-Lunstad shows that ambivalent (矛盾情绪的) relationships can be damaging to your health — even more than purely negative relationships. I had assumed that with a neighbor or a colleague, having some positive interactions was better than all negative interactions. But being cheered on by the same person who cuts you down doesn’t reduce the bad feelings; it increases them. And it’s not just in your head: It leaves a trace in your heart and your blood. Even a single ambivalent interaction can cause harm. In one experiment, people gave speeches on controversial topics in front of a friend who offered feedback. The researchers had randomly assigned the friend to give ambivalent or negative comments. Receiving mixed feedback caused higher blood pressure than pure criticism. “I would have gone about the topic differently, but you’re doing fine” proved to be more upsetting than “I totally disagree with everything you’ve said.” The evidence that ambivalent relationships can be bad for us is strong, but the reasons can be harder to read — just like the relationships themselves. The most recognized reason is that ambivalent relationships are unpredictable. With a clear enemy, you put up a shield when you cross paths. With a frenemy, you never know whether the helpful or the harmful is going to show up. Feeling unsure can disrupt the body’s calming system and activate a fight-or-flight response. It’s unsettling to hope for a hug while also preparing for a likely quarrel. Another factor is that unpleasant interactions are more painful in an ambivalent relationship. It’s more upsetting to be let down by people you like sometimes than by people you dislike all the time. When someone hates you in the back, it hurts more if he’s been friendly to your face. 28. Which of the following can be counted as a frenemy? A. Your neighbor’s kid who advises you to study hard but idles away his own time. B. Your classmate who admires your diligence at first, but doubts your intelligence later. C. Your friend who encourages you to spend more time on study but less on smart phones. D. Your cousin who proposes you to do balance homework and sleep. 29. The underlined word “belittle” in paragraph 2 probably means ______. A. devalue B. appreciate C. respect D. abuse 30. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage? A. Ambivalent relationships have a permanent effect on your well-being. B. The common cause for high blood pressure is ambivalent relationship. C. Ambivalent interactions will be more painful if it is done on purpose. D. The negative impact of ambivalent interactions is damaging. 31. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. Some Negative Relationships Are Bad for Your Health B. Your Most Ambivalent Relationships Are the Most Toxic C. The Reasons for Ambivalent Relationships Are Unpredictable D. Some Positive Relationships Are Better than All Negative Ones D The conventional wisdom about insects has been that they are unthinking, unfeeling creatures whose behavior is entirely hardwired (天生的). But in the 1990s researchers began making surprising discoveries about insect minds. Some species of wasps (黄蜂) recognize their nest mates’ faces and acquire impressive thinking skills. For example, they can infer the fighting strengths of other wasps relative to their own just by watching other wasps fight among themselves. Given the substantial work on the complexity of insect cognition (认知), it might seem surprising that it took scientists so long to ask whether they could also be capable of feeling if they are that smart. Since we have no direct window into the inner world of an animal that cannot verbally communicate its thoughts and feelings, the question of whether insects are sentient (有感 知的) remained academic. 15 years ago, I performed an experiment in which we asked whether bumblebees could learn about threat from their natural enemies. We built a plastic spider model with a mechanism that would briefly trap a bumblebee between two sponges before releasing it. The bumblebees showed a significant change in their behavior after being attacked by the robotic spider. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they learned to avoid flowers with spiders and carefully scanned every flower before landing. Curiously, however, they sometimes even fled from imaginary threats, scanning and then abandoning a perfectly safe, spider-free flower. Although this incidental observation did not contribute to formal evidence of an emotion-like state, it did open the door to the idea that such states might exist in insects. Some research suggested that insects might have positive states of mind. Researchers discovered that bees actively seek out drugs such as nicotine (尼古丁) and caffeine (咖啡因) when given the choice and even treat themselves with nicotine when sick. Male fruit flies stressed by being robbed of mating (交配) opportunities prefer food containing alcohol, and bees even show withdrawal symptoms when removed from an alcohol-rich diet. Why would insects consume mind-altering food if there isn't a mind to alter? But these suggestive hints of negative and positive mind states still fell short of what was needed to demonstrate that insects are sentient. 32. What does the example of the wasps indicate? A. Insects show signs of intelligence. B. Insects can do complex calculations. C. Insects can socialize in a skillful way. D. Insects live in highly complex societies. 33. What was unexpected about the bumblebees’ behavior in the experiment? A. They avoided flowers with spiders. B. They settled on flowers despite threats. C. They might abandon spider-free flowers. D. They might get scared away by other insects. 34. What can be learned from the insects in the last but one paragraph? A. Insects struggle with drug addiction. B. Bees use drugs for recreational purposes. C. Male fruit flies have a natural preference for alcohol. D. Insects are likely to possess a mind. 35. What does the text mainly discuss? A. What insects' various behavior can reveal. B. How insects communicate their thoughts. C. What amazing powers insects possess. D. Whether insects are capable of feeling. 第二节（共 5小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 If you thought that your child’s academic performance is based merely on the number of hours spent studying, you’re merely wrong. 36 And one of the major, mostly ignored, influencing contributors is physical health. Physical activity and health can actually boost a person’s ability to learn. According to a study, exercise can improve a child’s cognitive abilities, health, and academic performance significantly. Regular aerobic exercise enhances the functioning of the hippocampus (海马体), the area of the brain involved in learning and verbal memory. 37 Even the prefrontal cortex (前 额叶皮质) and medial temporal lobe (内侧颞叶)—parts of the brain that control thinking and memory—are found to be in better health in those who exercise regularly than in the brains of those who don’t exercise. The effect of exercise on memory and thinking is both direct and indirect. Directly, regular exercise gives the ability to stimulate the release of growth factors, chemicals in the brain that affect the health of brain cells, as well as the survival of new brain cells. 38 It will also reduce stress and anxiety. 39 Studies show that the added study length doesn’t bring about the expected learning effects. Furthermore, the greatest cognitive benefits from physical education have been seen to come about when physical education is given either in the first half of the day or midday rather than at the end of the day. The benefits of exercise in terms of academic performance also apply to college students. According to a recent study in the North Carolina State, just an hour of exercise every week can bring about great changes. 40 A. There are loads of benefits of physical exercise. B. In fact, good grades are a result of multiple factors. C. As a consequence, it can boost our behavior and thinking ability. D. Additionally, getting enough exercise will improve sleep quality and mood. E. Other forms of exercise like balance exercises do boost the cognitive performance of the brain. F. The benefits of exercise during the school day exceed those coming from increasing class time. G. Thus, physical activity should be seen as more a core educational concern than an insignificant option. 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分 30分） 第一节（共 15小题；每小题 1分，满分 15分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C和 D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选 项。 I drove 12 miles to the county newspaper office one day.

I felt ashamed of having no idea how to do any of the moves. Even though I liked the learning part, I did not like the feeling-worse-than-everyone part! But one day after class while I was putting my shoes on, a girl named Abigail said, “That last kick we practiced is so hard for me, and you’re so good at it.” “You must have confused me with someone else,” I replied. “I’m not good at any of it.” “In that case, I’m in trouble,” she joked, “because you’re the one I stand behind and copy in class.” I laughed, “Seriously?” “Seriously!” she laughed, too. After that, we became great friends. However, a few months later when Abigail’s mom got a job in a different state and she had to move away, I was rather sad. I had a tough time dragging myself to karate for a while since I missed Abigail so much. Then, a girl named Ava joined my class. She was always quiet. Until one day we finally had a conversation. “It must be weird (怪异的) being the new one in class.” I said. “So weird!” said Ava. “You do things really differently than we did at my old dojo (柔道馆).” I suddenly realized she’d been silent only because she was new. We started talking more, and we got along so well that we started hanging out after class. Then, almost a year later, guess who showed up at karate. “This is so cool.” I said, giving Abigail a huge hug. “What are you doing here?” “My mom’s job in New York didn’t work out,” she explained. “So we got to move back.” “That’s the best news ever!” I said. “You have to meet my dear friend Ava. And Ava, meet my dear friend Abigail.” I put my arms around their shoulders. Feeling very excited, I told them I hoped we could get along well and be close friends, while Abigail and Ava stared at each other with some hesitation and an uncertain smile. 注意：续写词数应为 150词左右。 Things seemed all right at first.

Abigail always complained that every time I hung out with Ava, she was left alone, while Ava said that I paid more attention to Abigail, which drove her crazy, believing that our friendship was not what it used to be. Trapped in the dilemma, I, enveloped by the sense of sadness, still felt confused why things turned out to be that complicated, not knowing how to tackle the problem. Worse still, karate even became the most frightening thing to me. One day, I simply could not take it anymore. With tears streaming down my cheeks, I stopped them from arguing and said with a deep sigh, “Why can’t you get along with each other well? Both of you are my best friends.” Hearing my words, they didn’t utter a single word, sinking into a deep silence. After what seemed like a century, Ava finally placed her arm with apparently unaccustomed affection around Abigail’s shoulders. Seeing this scene, I gasped with relief and burst into laughter.
