Dear Alfred,
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD. Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.
While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.
Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job — Data Analyst — this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.
Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.
This is why you’re saving my life.
Yours,
Tanis

D. She was too slow to learn.
6. What does Tanis prefer as for the working environment?
A. Working by herself.
B. Dealing with the public.
C. Competing against others.

Picture this: you win three tickets to a sold-out concert and excitedly text your friends to see if they would like to join you. Their reply? “Maybe.” Immediately, your excitement drops, for now you have to wait for their decisions before you can finalize your concert plans.
If you’ve experienced something like this, you’re not alone. The “maybe” response to invitations is a common upset in social life. So, what’s going on when people aren’t sure how to refuse an invitation? What leads to this uncertain, awkward behavior?
Researchers have found that people prefer saying “maybe” to saying “no” because of something called motivated reasoning (动机性推理), which happens when invitees view information in a biased way to serve their own interests. In other words, receivers of an invitation make themselves believe that the inviters want to hear a “maybe” because it helps them keep their choices open. Also, people often imagine that saying “no” will ruin the relationship, completely ignoring the possibility that honesty might be appreciated.
However, there are situations where motivated reasoning fails, and people choose to say “no” directly. When invitees put themselves in the inviters’ shoes, they realize that a clear “no” is more helpful. Additionally, if the invitation holds no interest for them at all, they no longer feel the need to leave their options available.
While saying “no” can be uncomfortable, being direct and clear is always the best policy. It may limit your choices, but it saves the inviter from uncertainty and helps protect the relationship. Next time a hot concert comes along, your friends will be even more likely to think of you first!
8. Why does the author mention the concert story in Paragraph 1?
A. To encourage quick replies. B. To reflect common feelings.
C. To introduce a social situation. D. To explain the invitees’ motivation.
9. What does the underlined word “biased” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Positive. B. Objective. C. One-sided. D. Reasonable.
10. What makes invitees prefer a “no” in certain situations?
A. Consideration for the inviter. B. Fear of ruining the relationship.
C. Uncertainty about the invitation. D. Wishes to keep their choices open.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward saying “maybe” to an invitation?
A. Supportive. B. Unclear. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent.
D
Dozens of honey bees, which usually feed on wild flowers after leaving their hives (蜂房) in the campus gardens, were tricked into the cottage to feed from an artificial flower. Only one bee was allowed in at a time, and their visits to artificial flowers were videoed and timed under different fan (风扇) speeds, which mimicked (模拟) calm and windy days.
But the researchers are trying to help them: it is a controlled experiment that shows how high wind speeds significantly reduce the efficiency of their feeding.
With no wind, the bees on average took nectar (花蜜) from 5.45 flowers during their 90-second time trial. When wind speeds were increased, this fell to an average of 3.73 flowers.
Researchers also examined the indirect impact of higher winds by moving the flowers.
The findings show that, while flower movement did not appear to have an effect on the bees, the movement of air from the fans made them much more hesitant to take off from a flower, with time taken ranging from an initial 0.05 seconds to 54 seconds.
Georgia Hennessy, lead author of the research, said that one possible reason for the wind causing hesitancy was that small increases in wind speed reduced the bees’ body temperature, so they require longer to warm up the flight muscles required to take off.
“With wind speeds predicted to increase in the years ahead, understanding how we can help bees in a changing climate is becoming ever more pressing. Although we can’t do much to control or stop the wind, we can take steps to reduce its impact on bees, such as placing hives in sheltered locations,” said Hennessy.
The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization warned last year that the decline in global bee populations was a “threat to global food security and diversity”.
Dave Goulson, professor of biology at the University of Sussex, said: “Bees already face many pressures in the modern world, such as loss of habitats and exposure to pesticides (杀虫剂), and a great many are in decline. Coping with increasingly windy weather under climate change may be the final straw (稻草).”
12. What task did the researchers set for the bees?
A. Identifying the new route. B. Surviving in extreme conditions.
C. Feeding under different wind speeds. D. Distinguishing various kinds of flowers.
13. What probably makes a bee hesitant to take off from a flower?
A. A full stomach. B. Loss of balance.
C. Changed flower positions. D. Reduced body temperature.
14. What can we do to reduce the impact of high winds on bees?
A. Stop the wind. B. Restore their habitats.
C. Address climate change. D. Prohibit the use of pesticides.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Loss of bees causes failure of food crops.
B. Bees are on the decline as global heating worsens.
C. Bees may struggle in winds caused by global warming.
D. Artificial flowers are used for threatened bee populations.

根据短文内容,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。
School days mean homework, studying, exams, and social interactions — not to mention getting up early every morning. It’s understandable if you don’t always feel your happiest going to school during the week. But it’s also something you can totally improve! 16
Focus on the good things about school. 17 Think about the bigger picture and how your education will have a positive impact on your life in the long run. If you’re having a bad day, tell yourself that you only have to be in school for a relatively short period of your life. After that, the sky is the limit!
Do something nice for someone. 18 Give another student some positive encouragement. Or, thank a teacher for a fun activity or an interesting lesson. If you see someone else that looks like they might be feeling down, tell them you like their hairstyle or praise the work they have done.
19 If someone isn’t nice to you at school, it’s probably not your fault. Try to remember that nobody is perfect and think about what might be going on in their lives that makes them act negatively towards you. Try your best to sweep away a dirty look or a bad comment and move on with your day, not getting angry and upset.
Reward yourself. Once you get that big A on your exam or work, don’t forget to go out and celebrate! It’s always great to reward yourself when you do something good, especially when it will benefit your future in so many ways! Always believe that you can and you will go a long way! No one can change your future other than you. 20
A. Smile more often.
B. Making other people smile can improve your own happiness.
C. The following tips can help you feel happier on school days.
D. Try not to take negativity from others too hard.
E. A little positive thinking can go a long way towards improving your mood.
F. Whether in school or at home, you may look for ways to make learning more enjoyable.
