As a music teacher,I have always known that music touches the soul.It can 21
all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way.It can be the 22 for each
child to find their light.I would like to 23 story about it.
For a few years I was blessed with the opportunity to teach 24 students.One of
my most_25 students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa,who had difficulty
walking,and could not speak.We_26 sat on the floor for our music lessons and
Vanessa liked to_27 on my lap.One of her favorite songs was"John the Rabbit".It
was a clapping and response song where I sang the call and the students_28 twice
while singing the repeating phrase,"Oh,yes."Vanessa liked to 29 her hands together
with mine and clap with me.We probably performed that song during every
class,Vanessa and I clapping together.But she 30 said or sang a word.
One day,when the song was finished,Vanessa turned around,31 me in the eye,
clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words"Oh,yes!".I opened my mouth in 32.

35 on her face and then clapped her hands twice,imitating()the song we had 36
so many times in our music class.The little girl,through her 37 with music,left an
impression on me that will last forever.Every child has the 38 to learn and grow.It is
up to us to 39 the way to reach each and every one of our students.We all must find
each child's 40.

I'm Thomas from the United Kingdom,working in Beijing,and I'm a shopping
addict().The main source of my addiction is Taobao,China's massive online
shopping platform-a place for everything from clothes to books,and everything in
between.It makes Amazon look like a comer shop.
My favorite is mostly books and different kinds of water bottles.My cupboard
has a shelf full of them,many of which my size will no longer allow me to crowd into.
What's worse is that the app's very clever algorithms()track what I look
through,so every time I open it on my phone,I am greeted by an advertisement
inviting me to dip deeper into my digital wallet.I don't even have to open the
app.They are available to purchase with just a tap of my finger.
Once you make an order,you need to wait.The shipping gives your heart a little
第页共12页
hit.Then there's another little rush of endorphins()when the delivery person
picks it up.You watch your package edging its way up the map to Beijing.When the
app tells you it's on the delivery bike,the same excitement as a kid on Christmas
morning takes hold as you wait for the knock at the door.Much like a little dog
waiting for its master to return home from work.
The packaging is eagerly removed,exciting another hit of happiness.An hour
later,the buyer's regret comes.To make yourself feel better,you start using the app
once more and the cycle starts all over again.
I could blame()my addiction on Jack Ma,founder of Alibaba,Taobao's
parent company,or point a finger at Liu Qiangdong,founder of JD,a similarly
addictive domestic shopping app.I could even blame Amazon founder Jeff Bezos,who
started all this e-commerce.

should take responsibility for your own sudden desire and lack of willpower."

Q
In today's digital age,where a vast ocean of information is just a click away,the
question arises:can one learn too much?Given that no individual can grasp the entirety
of human knowledge.However,there exists a phenomenon where excessive
learning can lead to inaction,a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.
Consider a scenario where you're eager to achieve a particular goal.You begin by
conducting extensive research,diving deep into the subject.As you absorb more
information,it paradoxically(矛盾地)feels like your understanding diminishes(下降).
Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers,making the goal seem more
complex and out of reach.
This situation is a common trap:the endless pursuit of more information.Although
gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable,that is to say there's nothing wrong
with learning a lot,issues arise when this pursuit obstructs()practical application.If
learning continuously prevents you from starting,you'll find yourself stuck,unable to
achieve your desired outcomes.
An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a
balance between learning and doing.Gather essential information,then transition into
action swiftly,even if you feel somewhat unprepared.This is often the best way to
learn,as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone
cannot.
The comparison to a baby learning to walk is a good example here.A baby
第8页共12页
doesn't learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process.Instead,it learns by
attempting to walk,falling,and then understanding from each fall what works and what
doesn't.Through repeated efforts,walking is eventually mastered.This method is
applicable to goal achievement too.By engaging in action,learning from the
outcomes,and adjusting accordingly,you gradually move closer to your goals
In summary,while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable,it's crucial not to let it
become a barrier to action.Learning should be a stepping stone to doing,not an end in
itself.It's through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can
truly progress towards our aspirations (.This balanced approach is key to
overcoming the paralysis (of over-learning and actively moving towards
realizing your ambitions.
51.What stops people from achieving the goal?
A.The distraction caused by urrelated tasks.
B.The inability to find relevant information.
C.The confusion caused by the information.
D.The desire to learn basic concept or strategy.
52.What does the author try to advocate in Paragraphs 3 and 4?
A.Sticking to continuous learning
B.Taking practical action without delay.
C.Gaining as much knowledge as possible
D.Prioritizing theoretical knowledge in study.
53.Why is practical experience important in the learning process?
A.It replaces continuous learning.
B.It removes obstacles in learning.
C.It holds back theoretical understanding.
D.It offers a more complete understanding.
54.The example baby learning to walk"mentioned in Paragraph 5 is used to
A.compare different learning styles
B.show the importance of making mistakes
第页共12页
C.emphasize the need for parental guidance
D.explain learning through action and experience
55.What makes the best title for the passage?
A.The Paradox of Information Overload
B.The Harmony of Learning and Doing
C.The Pursuit of Balanced Knowledge
D.The Process of Learning to Walk

For as long as there have been gifts,we naturally make choices based on the
recipient()But what if we have been wrong all along and that we could turn
things around,which not only made gift buying easier,but the recipient happier?
In 2015,psychologists Lauren Human and Lara Aknin conducted an online
survey,which suggested that when people buy gifts,they prefer to choose something
based on the recipient's personality and tastes.Most people also said that they
preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind:gifts for them.
But Human and Aknin wondered if this approach to giving failed to take
advantage of the way we connect as people.So they sent 78 volunteers into a shopping
centre before Mother's Day.Half were told to buy a card that'reveals your knowledge
of the recipient"while the others set out to buy a card that"reveals your true
self'.After the.purchase,the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported
feeling emotionally closer to their mothers.
To find out how that approach goes down with recipienis,the psychologists did
another test,asking more than 100 students to choose a song on iTunes to give to a
friend,partner or family member.Each half of the group received the same instructions
as the card buyers.Results revealed that recipients of songs that revealed something of
the givers felt closer to them than those who received gifts bought only with them in
mind.
Human and Aknin suggest it might apply to all gifts."If building stronger social
connections is the underlying()goal"of a gift and surely it should be-then
第0页共12页
we"may 'well.be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts".In short,for a present to be
meaningful,you need to give away a bit of yourselfeven if there is a risk that the gift
might not so closely suit the recipient's practical needs or tastes as one acquired
purely with that in mind.
Moreover,giving something of oneself can be a safer act,the psychologists
added.Because it reduces the risk of revealing poor knowledge of a recipient by
attempting to buy something that fits their character-and failing
But a note of caution here:what the research does not examine is the potential
risk in repeated,unsympathetic giver-centered giving,which,according to Human and
Aknin"could signal self-obsession"-and nobody wants to reveal that about
themselves.
56.From the Mother's Day card test,we can conclude that
gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the giver
B.most people choose gifts with the recipient in mind
C.most people choose gifts based on their personal tastes
B.gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the recipient

A.The recipients;the givers.
B.The givers;the recipients

58.What does the author think is the significance of gift giving?
A.Making the giver's life happier.
B.Showing one's knowledge of the recipient.
C.Establishing and strengthening social connections.
D.Meeting the recipient's practical needs.
59.Which of the following is Human and Aknin's advice on gift giving?
