What kind of people can become scientists When a group of researchers posed that question to ninth-and 10th-graders, almost every student gave such responses as “People who work hard” or “Anyone who seems interested in the field of science. ”
Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as “I’m not good at science” and “Even if I work hard, I will not do well. ” It’s easy for them to see a scientist’s work as arising from an inborn talent.
But for high school students, learning more about some struggles of scientists can help students feel more motivated to learn science. Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement reflects ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.
During the study, the students read one of three types of stories about Albert Einstein, Marie Curie and Michael Faraday. Intellectual struggle stories: stories about how scientists “struggled intellectually, ” such as making mistakes while tackling a scientific problem and learning from them. Life struggle stories: stories about how scientists struggled in their personal lives, such as not giving up in the face of poverty or lack of family support. Achievement stories: stories about how scientists made great discoveries, without any discussion of coexisting challenges.
Researchers found that students who heard either type of “struggle stories” improved their science performance post-intervention, relative to students in the control group. The effect was especially pronounced for lower performing students, for whom exposure to struggling stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories. In addition, students who read struggle stories reported feeling more personally connected to the scientists. By identifying a scientist’s struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize( 共 情 )with the scientists during their own struggles.
4. Why do students fail to imagine themselves as scientists
A. They lack interest in science. B. They are short of confidence.
C. They don’t possess inborn talent. D. They have no ability to study science.
5. What’s the purpose of the intervention
A. To introduce some inspirational stories to students.
B. To expose students to scientists’ great achievements.
C. To ensure students will become scientists in the future.
D. To clear students’ misunderstandings of scientific work.
6. The underlined word “pronounced” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. apparent B. permanent C. doubtful D. delicate
7. What can we learn from the research
A. Science ability has nothing to do with efforts.
B. Students are more motivated by achievement stories.
C. Scientists’ struggle stories can influence readers’ beliefs.
D. Low-performing students tend to feel connected to scientists.
C
Birds’ bodies are becoming smaller in size in response to climate change, even in places like the Amazon rainforest that are relatively untouched by human hands, according to a new study published in the journal Science Advances.
Researchers found that nearly all of the birds’ bodies have become lighter since the 1980s, losing on average about 2% of their body weight every decade. For an average bird species that weighed about 30 grams in the 1980s, the population now averages about 27. 6 grams. The study also revealed that wingspan was getting bigger in the Amazon bird species studied.
These birds don’t vary that much in size. When everyone in the population is a couple of grams smaller, it’s significant. This is undoubtedly happening all over and probably not just with birds.
A lower body weight and increasing wing length means that birds use energy more efficiently, the researchers noted. For example, compared with a fighter jet with short wings that needs lots of fuel to fly, a glider plane with a thin body and long wings flies up into the air with much less energy.
The study concluded that a warmer climate was the driving force of these changes. The climate in Brazilian Amazonia, where the birds lived, had gotten hotter and wetter over the study period. Since 1966, rainfall increased by 13% in the wet season and fell by 15% in the dry, with temperatures increasing by 1 degree Celsius in the wet season and 1. 65 degrees Celsius in the dry season. The change in climate might have made food or other resources insufficient.
Together, body proportions moved in the direction of more efficient flight and lower metabolic heat production and are consistent with a plastic or genetic adaptation to resource or thermal stress under climate change.
Animals are dealing with climate change in different ways.
8. What is the direct cause of birds’ changes
A. A scientific advance. B. A warmer climate.
C. A lack of sufficient food. D. A lack of drinking water
9. Why is a glider plane mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To show planes fly with much less fuel. B. To prove birds need much energy to fly.
C. To demonstrate birds’ efficient energy use. D. To illustrate planes need lots of fuel to fly.
10. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph
A. Animals’ other body part changes. B. Animals’ ways to tackle climate change
C. Birds’ adaptation to climate change. D. People’s attempts to protect animals.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Climate Crisis Is Influencing Birds’ Body Shapes
B. Birds Nowadays Also Have to Adapt to Climate Change
C. It’s Our Duty to Take Measures to Protect Birds on the Planet
D. It’s Time to Raise Human Beings’ Awareness of Climate Crisis
D
A terrible thing happened to me while I was watching TV recently: I realized that I had aged. Now of course I know that I am aging, it’s just that I hadn’t realized quite how old I was until I saw a participant who I recognized on a reality TV show. Well, I didn’t recognize her but I recognized her name, I’d slightly known her in my 20s when she’d been the celebrity who had stolen my roommates’ boyfriends.
However, here’s the thing that shocked me—I hadn’t recognized her because rather than the beauty I remembered, on my TV was a middle-aged mum cooking. And then it hit me: that’s what I look like too.
It’s a particularly cruel change of nature that we can’t see ourselves as others do. We see our own face so often that the wrinkles that start to cut through it just go unnoticed. Occasionally we might get a rude awakening when suddenly our bodies stop working as expected but, for the most part, we’re left to get on with growing old without too many reminders. But when you get a reminder. . . oof! Since that show aired, I have sat in front of the mirror analyzing my face and wondering how I came to look so like my mother without noticing. I’ve also realized that my waist no longer fits into baby fat but a middle-aged spread.
I also fear that I don’t know what middle age looks like for my generation. Did my mother still feel 24 when in reality she was 15 years older And why do I not feel like I’m where I should be as I approach 40 I definitely remember writing a list of things I will have achieved by the time I’m 40 at 19. Where is the house in the South of France or the Porsche 911 she so desperately wanted
Since then, I’ve started to redefine myself. I don’t want to put everything down to age but I can’t quite stop myself. Tired again Must be my age. Thank God then for social media. All around me I see amazing women at the other end of their 40s. They’ve accepted their age and seem to love it, so I’m hopeful that as I move into the next decade that will be me too. And maybe I’ll get the Porsche before I’m 50.
12. What is implied in Paragraph 1
A. The aging process doesn’t affect the TV celebrity.
B. The author has been friends with the TV celebrity.
C. The TV celebrity now lives a life of extreme luxury.
D. The TV celebrity used to be popular among boys.
13. In most cases, how do we perceive the aging process
A. We clearly know what happens. B. It is very likely to slip our mind.
C. We can accept it quite peacefully. D. It always brings about hopelessness.
14. The underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to .
A. a lady denying being old B. the ambitious self aged 19
C. the celebrity on the TV show D. a woman accepting her age
15. What is the theme of this article
A. It matters not how long we live but how.
B. Wrinkles are just evidence of great wisdom.
C. Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
D. The best tunes are played on the oldest violins.

Avoid overcommitment
Have you ever agreed to do something only to find out later that you don't have time Are you constantly stressed from rushing from one assignment to another 16___________
Overcommitment happens when you decide to do more things than you realistically have time to do. 17__________ Your quality of life also suffers because overcommitment leaves you less time to take care of yourself. It's preferable to do one or two things well than to do 10 things poorly-or worse, to back out once you've agreed to something.
Time management coach Elizabetlh Saunders suggests creating a budget for your time like you do with money. The total amount of time you have each day equals 24 hours minus the time you need for basic wellness activities. 18__________ Saunders suggests adding up your time commitments to other people and the time needed to met your personal goals, If that total is greater than the amount of time you have each day, you have a problem.
19_________ Schedule times for everything you need to do including taking care of yourself.
But don't feel forced to fill every blank space.

Learning how to say no politely but firmly also helps with vercpommitment. It helps to have a good sense of what your priorities are so that you can say yes or no when appropriate.
I have a rule that I never immediately agree to any long-term time commitments. I always ask for some time to think. That's because my first instinct is usually to say yes, even if I don' t really have time. 20_____________
Saying no to things you don't have time to do well frees you up to say yes to what truly matters.
A. There can be different solutions to the problem of overcommitment.
B. When this happens, the quality of your work suffers.
C. If so, you may have a problem with overcommitment.
D. One tool that may be helpful in avoiding overcommitment is a calendar.
