I truly believe we all have a very special purpose in life,regardless of who we are or where we come from.After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank,I wanted to do something challenging.So when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers(股票经纪人),with great excitement,I made some phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its branch vice presidents.After this interview and interviews with twelve of his top stockbrokers,I eventually landed the job.
The first few months was a struggle.I lived on very little commission(佣金).Night after night,I left the office weary and exhausted,ready to give up,yet somehow returning the next morning to start a new day.Eventually,all the hard work paid off.In less than four years,I became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 1,700 percent.The success earned me a six-figure income,promotion and numerous sales awards.
Toward the end of my fourth year at Merrill Lynch,it hit me that something was missing.I thought long and hard about my goals.Then I was reminded of the time when I spoke to hundreds of people,while in college as a student leader,and years later,when I won a “Humorous Speech” championship.It dawned on me that every time I had a speaking engagement,I always came out of the experience with a wonderful,energetic,peaceful and magical feeling that was unmatched by anything else I did.I knew the extraordinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with could enable me to make a lasting difference and transform other people’s lives.
Then I took another daring risk,gave up everything and left the investment business for a more satisfying career as a motivational speaker.The beginning of my speaking journey was surprisingly similar to what I had first experienced at Merrill Lynch.However,nothing in the world comes close to the satisfying feeling I get when thousands of people tell me how much I have made a difference in their lives by motivating them to take risks and be the best they could be.

Nothing succeeds like success,as every parent of a straight-A student knows,but trying to stress academic excellence by telling your child,“You’re so smart!” may be counterproductive.Why?According to a 2017 study,children who think their intelligence is fixed are less likely to pay attention to and bounce back(重新振作) from mistakes than children who think intelligence can grow and change.
In the study,researchers looked at 123 children.The team assessed the children to determine whether they had a “growth mindset”(believing that you can work harder to get smarter),or a “fixed mindset”(believing that your intelligence is unable to change).They then asked the children to complete a fast-paced computer accuracy task while their brain activity was recorded.During the recording,researchers noted that brain activity stopped within a half-second after making a mistake,as children became aware of their mistake and paid closer attention to what went wrong.The larger the brain response was,the more the child focused on the mistake.Based on the data,they concluded that children with a “growth mindset” were much more likely to have a larger brain response after making a mistake.While children with a “fixed mindset” were able to “bounce back”,only if they gave their full attention to the mistake.
For parents,the lessons are clear.Don’t pay your children compliments that suggest that intelligence is fixed.If your child hands you an A+ score,don’t say,“You’re so smart!” Instead,say,“Wow,that studying really paid off!” or “You clearly mastered this material—way to go!” Note the effort,not the intelligence.
Besides,many parents shy away from addressing a child’s mistakes,telling them “It’s OK.You’ll get it next time.” without offering them the chances to figure out what goes wrong.Instead,it’s better to reassure your children that mistakes happen,and work to figure out where and how they make the mistake.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过实验结果说明在孩子的成长过程中,父母应该强调努力的重要性,而不是智力。
8.Which of the following best explains “counterproductive” underlined in paragraph 1?
A.Opposite. B.Competitive.
C.Successful. D.Unknown.
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据第一段画线词后文“According to a 2017 study,children...can grow and change.”可知试图通过告诉孩子“你很聪明”来达到让孩子学业优秀的目的,可能会得到相反的结果,由此可推知counterproductive的含义是“相反的”。故选A。
9.How did the children with a “growth mindset” react in the study?
A.They made fewer mistakes.
B.They tried to avoid mistakes.
C.They had smaller brain response.
D.They focused more on the mistake.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The larger the brain response was,the more the child focused on the mistake.Based on the data,they concluded that children with a ‘growth mindset’ were much more likely to have a larger brain response after making a mistake.”可知,拥有“成长心态”的孩子在研究中更关注错误。故选D。
10.What should parents say when children make a mistake according to the text?
A.You are so careless.
B.Paying compliments to children.
C.You’ll get it the next time.
D.Let’s find out how you made it.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Instead,it’s better to reassure your children that mistakes happen,and work to figure out where and how they make the mistake.”可知,当孩子犯了错误时,父母应该说“让我们看看你是怎么出错的。”故选D。
11.What should be avoided according to the study?
A.Overstressing the intelligence.
B.Pay compliment to children.
C.Addressing children’s mistakes.
D.Offering chances to find mistakes.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中“According to a 2017 study,children who think their intelligence is fixed are less likely to pay attention to and bounce(重新振作) back from mistakes than children who think intelligence can grow and change.”可知,据2017年的一项研究,认为自己的智力是固定的孩子比认为智力可以增长和改变的孩子更不可能关注错误并从错误中恢复过来。由此推知,应该避免过度强调智力。故选A。

Born in Russia and living in an orphanage(孤儿院) for the first 13 months of her life,Jessica Long had no idea what her future would hold.The little girl born with Fibular Hemimelia would not only go on to be a 13-time gold medal-winning Paralympic champion,but she would inspire others to chase their dreams.
Long was born in Russia,where she lived in an orphanage until her parents adopted her in 1993.Soon after being adopted,she had to have her legs amputated(截肢) at only a year and a half.“It gave me a lot of freedom and movement,” Long said.“But growing up was definitely really hard.From a very early age,I just decided that I was going to be unstoppable and I wasn’t going to let my legs hold me back.” From that point forward,she didn’t let anyone tell her what she was or wasn’t capable of doing.She started doing gymnastics as a kid.Then,in 2002,Long found her sport for life:swimming!
“I was the only girl with no legs on the swim team,” she said.“There were moments I struggled,but my teammates treated me like a friend.When I look back on my life and I think about anyone on that team,no one made fun of me for having no legs and they were so kind.” Long defied(顶住) all odds and surprised everyone when she qualified at age only 12 for the Paralympics in 2004 in Athens.After four Paralympics,Long has won 13 gold,six silver,and four bronze medals.She has dozens of World Championship medals and has broken numerous world records throughout her career so far.But she didn’t concentrate on winning awards or being famous.“I really just love swimming.It’s important for any athlete to remember just why you started,” she said.
As one of the most decorated athletes in history,Long’s goal is to just keep competing as long as her body allows.“Dream big,” she said.“There are so many possibilities out there,so find your passion,be consistent and work hard.You define your own success.”

As winter arrives,the problem of fogged-up car windscreens becomes more pressing for drivers.Anti-misting sprays(喷雾剂) are one way to deal with such fogging.But they need frequent reapplication.Another approach is to fix within the thing to be demisted a set of electrically powered heating wires.But because of the visual distraction(分心) created,that doesn’t work for a car’s front windscreen.
Iran Hachler and Dimos Poulikakos of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich have,however,come up with another way of warming something up to stop fog forming.Their new material is a coating ten nanometres(纳米) thick.It is flexible,easily made using existing processes,and can be applied as a coating to glass or plastic,or inset inside such materials.Its demisting properties are powered by sunlight.
In effect,it is a gold sandwich.The “bread” of this sandwich is a pair of layers(层),top and bottom,of a chemical material,each three nanometres thick.The filling is a four-nanometre deep golden material.The whole structure lets visible light pass unlimited,while absorbing invisible lights and transforming them into heat.It is the filling that warms the glass.Gold acts as a medium in the heating process.The network will now absorb heat if left in the sunshine.The top and bottom layers boost that absorption.
Glass coated with Mr Hachler’s and Dr Poulikakos’s invention is,they claim,four times more effective at preventing fog than an uncounted surface.It absorbs around 30% of solar radiation incident upon it which,on a sunny day,increases the temperature of what it is applied to by around 8℃.On a cloudy day,that temperature rise is closer to 3-4℃.But in either case the enhancement is sufficient both to remove any fog that has formed and to prevent new fog forming.
The next step,Mr Hachler says,is to find the product’s best market.Even though gold is used,the cost of adding this extra one is low.For the two inventors,though,the idea might prove a gold mine.

语篇解读 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了与心理健康作斗争的24岁的亚历克斯·王报名成为ImpactHK的志愿者,至此之后他帮助无家可归者,让自己的生活有了新的意义和目标,并意识到生活可以很美好。
1.答案 anxiety
解析 考查名词。句中With后面需要填写名词作宾语,形容词anxious的名词形式是anxiety,为不可数名词。故填anxiety。
2.答案 with
解析 考查介词。此处表示“与别人互动”,要使用“interact with”。故填with。
3.答案 felt
解析 考查动词时态。句中是强调句结构“it was +被强调部分+that...”,被强调部分是句子状语“during this time”,主语是Wong,填空部分是谓语动词,主句时态是过去时,因此feel需要使用一般过去时态。故填felt。
4.答案 primarily
解析 考查副词。填空词修饰动词“helps”需要使用副词。故填primarily。
5.答案 walking
解析 考查非谓语动词。句中主谓宾结构完整,故逗号后面动词使用非谓语结构,逻辑主语Wong与walk之间是主动关系,需要使用现在分词形式。故填walking。
6.答案 items
解析 考查名词复数。空前有修饰语“other essential”,且此处item“物品”为可数名词,故空处需用可数名词的复数形式。故填items。
7.答案 to lead
解析 考查非谓语动词。volunteer to do sth表示“自愿做某事”,空处需要使用不定式。故填to lead。
8.答案 their
解析 考查代词。空后有名词“luck”,故前面需要使用形容词性物主代词。down on one’s luck倒霉的,运气不好的。故填their。
9.答案 whom
解析 考查定语从句。句中“I’ve also developed strong bonds with my fellow volunteers”是主句部分,逗号后面是“代词+介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词“volunteers”指人,在后面从句中作介词of的宾语。故填whom。
10.答案 a
解析 考查冠词。句中that引导宾语从句,介词in后面接名词性短语“better emotional space”,此处表泛指,空处应用不定冠词,且better的首字母发音为辅音音素,故填a。in a better emotional space情绪好多了。
