It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad.On the outing,she was offered a candy bar.However,her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth.But Moore was sick of missing out on candies.So she desired to get round the warning,"Why can't I make a healthy candy that's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to it?"With that in mind,Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company.He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain. With her dad's permission,she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth friendly.She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning.Consequently,she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners,which can reduce oral bacteria. Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground.Afterwards.she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner,who finally agreed to sell Moore's product-CanCandy. As CanCandy's success grows,so does Moore's credibility as a young entrepreneur.Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created,and she's also positive about what the future might bring.She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile. Meanwhile,with her parents'help,Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life.Although she founded her company early on ill life,she wasn't driven primarily by profit.Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles.She donates 10%of Ailie Candy's profits to Big Smiles.With her talent and determination,it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore 56.How did Moore react to her dad's warning?

C Erica Solove remembers December 30,2021,like it was yesterday.She was at home in Superior,Colorado,a Boulder suburb at the fcot of the Rockies."It was an extremely windy day,"she says."Hurricane-force winds.And we quickly realized it's not just wind coming down the mountain-it's fire."She grabbed her napping two-year-old daughter out of her crib while her husband scooped up their five-year-old son.The family got in the car,struggling to open the doors against the wind,and fled without wallets,coats,or even shoes.She remembers how half the sky was black with smoke,while the other half was a bright crystalline blue. They were fleeing the Marshall Fire,the costliest in Colorado history.Her family lost everything.In the early weeks after the disaster,Solove experienced panic attacks on windy days,and the kids went to trauma therapy."What an absolute nightmare,.”she says.. But three years later,Solove,an organizational psychologist,says she feels stronger than before,eventriumphant."She now finds it easier to put little stressors in perspective.Her life has grown richer in some ways:She and her neighbors became as close as extended family. Solove's Marshall Fire story is an example of what researchers call Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG)-a term first coined in 1995.Studies have consistently found that on average,between half and two-thirds of survivors report positive changes and a new life outlook after a tragedy or crisis. Resilience can be defined broadly as "bouncing back"from adversity,returning to how you were before the hardship struck.When people experience post-traumatic E growth,by contrast,they identify improvements in their lives.Recently.researchers have been finding brain structures that correlate with this kind of growth.And they've been unearthing new social and community factors and personal behaviors contribute to fostering it. The researchers also stress that you don't need to go through extreme hardship yourself to draw lessons from the phenomenon of post-traumatic growth.We all face some level of adversity,and the experiences of people like Solove hold inspiration for anyone looking to build a more satisfying,connected,joyful life. 61.What can we learn about the Marshall Fire from the passage? A.It happened in a city far from the Rockies. B.It caused no harm to Solove's family except property loss. C.It was the most expensive fire disaster in Colorado's history. D.It broke out on a quiet.windless day. 62.Why does the author include Erica's personal story in the passage? A.To showcase transformative effects of tragedy B.To establish emotional connection with readers C.To demonstrate the psychological findings D.To provide background on trauma research 63.What does the last paragraph convey? A.Highlight the accessibility of PTG principles B.The universality of confronting obstacles C.Learn from others'traumatic experiences D.Draw strength from everyday challenges 64.What does Erica Solove's experience show? A.Always have,always will. B Ablessing in disguise. C.The beginning ofone thing can be the rest ofeverything. D.Our greatest glory is in rising every time when we fall. 65.According to the description and curve,Which one is true according to the passage? I one third of survivors II resilience III the process of PTG works IVErica's emotion triumphant A.III B.IIn C.ⅡI D IIIIV D A father told his son that he should not accept the Theory of Evolution just because he leaned about it in Biology class at school.He went on to say that he is teaching his son to think critically.But he isn't. Many people assume that critical thinking refers to questioning and criticizing in the more negative sense of the word.If they are rejecting what they are told by experts,they falsely believe that they are thinking critically.This is not uncommon.Many people claim that everything is just someone's opinion and no one is actually right or wrong.They believe they are thinking critically when they're actually doing the very opposite. There are many definitions of critical thinking.To put simply,it refers to identifying and evaluating arguments,finding inconsistencies in arguments,problem solving,and thinking about our own beliefs and why we hold them. Diane Halpern,author of Thought &Knowledge,uses this definition:"Critical thinkers are able to change their mind or the conclusion that they reached,when new information warrants such a change." A closed-minded person responds negatively when presented with new ideas that challenge their existing beliefs.These are the people who insist that even an expert's opinion is no better than anyone else's.In contrast,an open-minded person suspends judgment.They seek out more information,including information that goes against beliefs they currently hold.They review the evidence that's available and are always open to new ways of thinking.They consider all options and insist on finding a solution. So you need to ask questions and be open-minded about the answers.You need to know how to do research and look for reliable sources.You have to think about your own thinking and question why you hold the beliefs you do.Be aware of the pre-set ideas you bring to the argument,and learn to evaluate evidence 66.Why does the author mention the father-son example in paragraph 1? A.To promote the practice of critical thinking. B.To criticize the current education system. C.To present a widespread misconception. D.To introduce an innovative idea.
