Think Again by ADAM GRANT
Grant reminds us that just like we refresh our wardrobe from time to time, we need to routinely reexamine our beliefs and ways of thinking. Often our beliefs become habits, and Grant argues that being too attached to one identity and thought process can kill our creativity. Instead, we need to start spending as much time rethinking as we do thinking.

Sara Braden doesn’t have time to lose things. She’s a working mom with a lot more hobbies than her friends, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes annoyed and impatient. “It impacts me greatly,” says Braden, 35, a Washington officer.
According to a recent study led by Daniel Arely, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, Braden has ADHD, a type of attention disorder, which, she says, makes her “likely to put things in certain places and not remember where I put them.”
Her anxiety is familiar to anyone whose phone is missing a dozen times a day. Such kind of mistakes might result in a constant fear: Is something wrong with me Probably not. “It’s common and certainly annoying,” says Professor Arely. “Most of the time, losing things is a breakdown of attention and memory. We’re thinking about something else. We have other concerns occupying our attention, and then we never really add the information to memory about where we’ve put the object.”
The study shows that, sometimes, people with ADHD report that losing things affects their work productivity or relationships. For example, if they can’t find their keys all the time and are late for a dinner party, they could anger their friends. In that case, it’s worth being evaluated by a doctor. Nevertheless, not all cases deserve special attention. Actually, people who have had ADHD since they were teens have nothing much to worry about. For those with ADHD, what really matters is changes from past performance.
When we’re operating on autopilot and not truly focused on our surroundings, we may still lose things even with the strongest intention not to do so, Professor Arely says. But for the most part, he thinks people can overcome the tendency to lose things. Sara Braden has learned to adapt, in part by writing down where she has stored items. She also coaches herself not to panic when an item gets lost.
4. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By offering an example. B. By quoting a remark.
C. By making a comparison. D. By giving an explanation.
5. What is the possible reason for people’s losing things
A. Their constant fear. B. Their common weakness.
C Their absent-mindedness. D. Their emotional breakdown.
6. What should people with ADHD pay special attention to
A. Improved efficiency at work. B. Occasional delay in meeting friends.
C. Losing things repeatedly since teens. D. Behavioural changes from the past.
7. What is Professor Arely’s attitude to overcoming forgetfulness
A. Positive. B. Sceptical. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.
C
The Los Angeles Fire Department introduced its newest firefighter, a robot on wheels that can burst out 2,500 gallons of water a minute, and go where it’s not safe for humans to step in. The bright yellow machine is called RS3, which is short for Robot Solution 3.
“The Los Angeles Fire Department is the first in our country to get this amazing piece of new equipment,” Chief Ralph Terrazas told viewers. The chief said he became aware of the value of firefighting robots when he saw one named Colossus on the news. It moved forward into the depths of Notre-Dame de Paris to take up the fight from human firefighters for the roof threatened to collapse. Colossus was widely credited with helping save both lives and the building.
“It got me thinking about the large fires we have here. We had one of those fires downtown early this morning,” the chief said of a flame that set fire to two downtown businesses before 130 firefighters, including one who suffered minor injuries, put it out. A similar one last month destroyed a nearly finished apartment building for homeless people. “Sometimes we have to back our firefighters out of the burning building for their safety,” Terrazas said. “Then they must fight the fire from the outside, using hook-and-ladder trucks,” he added. “This is effective but takes a long time and uses much more water than we normally do inside the building.”
Terrazas said it is not only able to rush into a burning building, but also open a path later for its fellow human firefighters by pushing debris out of its way. On a freeway, it can push a car out of the way to get to a burning tanker truck.
8. What made Terrazas decide to introduce RS3 to firefighting
A. Lack of human firefighters in Los Angeles.
B. Huge damage caused by the fire in Notre-Dame de Paris.
C. Application of firefighting robots in other local fire departments.
D. Colossus’s excellent performance in fighting Notre-Dame de Paris fire.
9. Why did Tenrazas mention the fire in downtown Los Angeles
A. To emphasize the scale of the fire.
B. To praise the bravery of firefighters.
C. To indicate the necessity for robot firefighters.
D. To introduce the working environments of firefighters.
10. How can RS3 help human firefighters according to Paragraph 4
A. By clearing the access paths. B. By fetching water from rivers.
C. By giving instructions to firefighters. D. By driving a burning tanker truck away.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Robot Firefighters Saved Los Angeles
B. Los Angeles’s Human Firefighters Are in Trouble
C. Robot Firefighters Gain Nationwide Popularity
D. Los Angeles Welcomes the Nation’s First Robot Firefighter
D
For thousands of years, Chinese writers have travelled all over the country to take down notes about the geographical conditions of each city. Among them, well-known Chinese geographer and writer Li Daoyuan, in the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534), composed his book, Commentary on the Water Classics, after studying the original literary version, Water Classics. He later expanded the river records to 1, 252 from the original 137.
The book is now being studied again by Professor Li Xiaojie and his team from Fudan University. They have been using drawing software and 3D modelling to recreate the waterway situations on a map based on the book description. So far, they have completed research on four rivers.
“Ancient people knew really well how to apply the power of nature to technical considerations,”Li said, giving the example of Qianjin’e, one of the most famous ancient water conservation projects in Luoyang, Henan. In order to lead the river into the city for irrigation (灌溉) in ancient Luoyang, the officials built a canal branch by separating a northwest-southeast river. However, the canal water wasn't enough to support the citizens in dry seasons. To solve that, on the northern side of the canal branch, the officials built a reservoir (水库) and a channel to lead the water to the canal branch, where the waterways would converge and flow together to the city.
In Commentary on the Water Classics, a total of 2, 800 cities are recorded with details. Still, the process of recreation takes much effort. After doing a lot of text analysis and fieldwork, the team has gradually created the model with 3D modelling software based on repeated deductions (推论).
For Professor Li, the book is not only a record of the natural landscape over 1, 000 years ago, but also a detailed description of humanity and culture and a treasure for today’s reference.
12. What can we learn about the book Commentary on the Water Classics
A. It has been out of date. B. It explains 3D modelling.
C. It keeps records of 137 rivers. D. It is based on previous studies.
13. What does the underlined word “converge” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Join. B. Pass. C. Cross. D. Begin.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about model recreation
A. Its major problems. B. Its detailed analysis.
C. Its complex process. D. Its successful application.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. 3D Technology Fuels Modern Research
B. Ancient Classics Inspire Modern Research
C. An Effective Approach to Model Recreation
D. A Famous Writer of Chinese Ancient Classics

Sara Braden doesn’t have time to lose things. She’s a working mom with a lot more hobbies than her friends, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes annoyed and impatient. “It impacts me greatly,” says Braden, 35, a Washington officer.
According to a recent study led by Daniel Arely, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, Braden has ADHD, a type of attention disorder, which, she says, makes her “likely to put things in certain places and not remember where I put them.”
Her anxiety is familiar to anyone whose phone is missing a dozen times a day. Such kind of mistakes might result in a constant fear: Is something wrong with me Probably not. “It’s common and certainly annoying,” says Professor Arely. “Most of the time, losing things is a breakdown of attention and memory. We’re thinking about something else. We have other concerns occupying our attention, and then we never really add the information to memory about where we’ve put the object.”
The study shows that, sometimes, people with ADHD report that losing things affects their work productivity or relationships. For example, if they can’t find their keys all the time and are late for a dinner party, they could anger their friends. In that case, it’s worth being evaluated by a doctor. Nevertheless, not all cases deserve special attention. Actually, people who have had ADHD since they were teens have nothing much to worry about. For those with ADHD, what really matters is changes from past performance.
When we’re operating on autopilot and not truly focused on our surroundings, we may still lose things even with the strongest intention not to do so, Professor Arely says. But for the most part, he thinks people can overcome the tendency to lose things. Sara Braden has learned to adapt, in part by writing down where she has stored items. She also coaches herself not to panic when an item gets lost.
4. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By offering an example. B. By quoting a remark.
C. By making a comparison. D. By giving an explanation.
5. What is the possible reason for people’s losing things
A. Their constant fear. B. Their common weakness.
C. Their absent-mindedness. D. Their emotional breakdown.
6. What should people with ADHD pay special attention to
A. Improved efficiency at work. B. Occasional delay in meeting friends.
C. Losing things repeatedly since teens. D. Behavioural changes from the past.
7. What is Professor Arely’s attitude to overcoming forgetfulness
A. Positive. B. Sceptical. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A

The Los Angeles Fire Department introduced its newest firefighter, a robot on wheels that can burst out 2,500 gallons of water a minute, and go where it’s not safe for humans to step in. The bright yellow machine is called RS3, which is short for Robot Solution 3.
“The Los Angeles Fire Department is the first in our country to get this amazing piece of new equipment,” Chief Ralph Terrazas told viewers. The chief said he became aware of the value of firefighting robots when he saw one named Colossus on the news. It moved forward into the depths of Notre-Dame de Paris to take up the fight from human firefighters for the roof threatened to collapse. Colossus was widely credited with helping save both lives and the building.
“It got me thinking about the large fires we have here. We had one of those fires downtown early this morning,” the chief said of a flame that set fire to two downtown businesses before 130 firefighters, including one who suffered minor injuries, put it out. A similar one last month destroyed a nearly finished apartment building for homeless people. “Sometimes we have to back our firefighters out of the burning building for their safety,” Terrazas said. “Then they must fight the fire from the outside, using hook-and-ladder trucks,” he added. “This is effective but takes a long time and uses much more water than we normally do inside the building.”
Terrazas said it is not only able to rush into a burning building, but also open a path later for its fellow human firefighters by pushing debris out of its way. On a freeway, it can push a car out of the way to get to a burning tanker truck.
8. What made Terrazas decide to introduce RS3 to firefighting
A. Lack of human firefighters in Los Angeles.
B. Huge damage caused by the fire in Notre-Dame de Paris.
C. Application of firefighting robots in other local fire departments.
D. Colossus’s excellent performance in fighting Notre-Dame de Paris fire.
9. Why did Tenrazas mention the fire in downtown Los Angeles
A. To emphasize the scale of the fire.
B. To praise the bravery of firefighters.
C. To indicate the necessity for robot firefighters.
D. To introduce the working environments of firefighters.
10. How can RS3 help human firefighters according to Paragraph 4
A. By clearing the access paths. B. By fetching water from rivers.
C. By giving instructions to firefighters. D. By driving a burning tanker truck away.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Robot Firefighters Saved Los Angeles
B. Los Angeles’s Human Firefighters Are in Trouble
C. Robot Firefighters Gain Nationwide Popularity
D. Los Angeles Welcomes the Nation’s First Robot Firefighter

For thousands of years, Chinese writers have travelled all over the country to take down notes about the geographical conditions of each city. Among them, well-known Chinese geographer and writer Li Daoyuan, in the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534), composed his book, Commentary on the Water Classics, after studying the original literary version, Water Classics. He later expanded the river records to 1, 252 from the original 137.
The book is now being studied again by Professor Li Xiaojie and his team from Fudan University. They have been using drawing software and 3D modelling to recreate the waterway situations on a map based on the book description. So far, they have completed research on four rivers.
“Ancient people knew really well how to apply the power of nature to technical considerations,”Li said, giving the example of Qianjin’e, one of the most famous ancient water conservation projects in Luoyang, Henan. In order to lead the river into the city for irrigation (灌溉) in ancient Luoyang, the officials built a canal branch by separating a northwest-southeast river. However, the canal water wasn't enough to support the citizens in dry seasons. To solve that, on the northern side of the canal branch, the officials built a reservoir (水库) and a channel to lead the water to the canal branch, where the waterways would converge and flow together to the city.
In Commentary on the Water Classics, a total of 2, 800 cities are recorded with details. Still, the process of recreation takes much effort. After doing a lot of text analysis and fieldwork, the team has gradually created the model with 3D modelling software based on repeated deductions (推论).
For Professor Li, the book is not only a record of the natural landscape over 1, 000 years ago, but also a detailed description of humanity and culture and a treasure for today’s reference.
12. What can we learn about the book Commentary on the Water Classics
A. It has been out of date. B. It explains 3D modelling.
C. It keeps records of 137 rivers. D. It is based on previous studies.
13. What does the underlined word “converge” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Join. B. Pass. C. Cross. D. Begin.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about model recreation
A. Its major problems. B. Its detailed analysis.
C. Its complex process. D. Its successful application.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. 3D Technology Fuels Modern Research
B. Ancient Classics Inspire Modern Research
C. An Effective Approach to Model Recreation
D. A Famous Writer of Chinese Ancient Classics
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
