People with fixed mindsets believe that:●Skill, intelligence and talents are natural.●Failure is shameful and should be avoided.●Some people are naturally good at things while others not.●You are not in control of your abilities. People with growth mindsets believe that:●You have the capacity to learn and grow your skills.●Failure is a valuable lesson.●People who are good at something are good because they build that ability.●You are in control of your abilities.
have a desire to look smart, so tend to:—Avoid challenges.—Give up easily.—See effort as fruitless or worse.—Ignore useful negative feedback.—Feel threatened by the success of others. have a desire to learn, so tend to:—Embrace challenges.—Persist in the face of setbacks.—See effort as the path to mastery.—Learn from criticism.—Find lessons and inspiration in the success of others.
As a result, they may stay at the same level early and achieve less than their full potential. As a result, they reach ever-higher levels of achievement.
Change can be tough, but I've never heard anyone say it wasn't worth it. Did changing to a growth mindset solve all my problems No. But I know that I have a different life because of it — a richer one.
The book “mindset” is intended to ________.

persuade people to learn to change so as to enjoy a more fruitful life
22. Generally speaking, people with fixed mindsets are mostly ________.

The year 2023 marks the 102th anniversary of Noether's ring theory, a branch of theoretical mathematics that is still fascinating and challenging numerous mathematicians today.
Neother was born in 1882 in Germany, whose father was a math professor, but it must have seemed unlikely to the young Neother that she would follow in his footsteps because women were banned from academia and few took classes at universities. After Neother graduated from a high school for girls, Erlangen University started to let women enroll. She signed up and earned her doctorate in mathematics, which should have been the end of her mathematical journey. Teaching at a university for women was still out of the question. But Neother stuck with mathematics anyway, staying in Erlangen and unofficially guiding doctoral students without pay.
In 1915, she applied for a position at the University of Gottingen. Bill Nicholl, the dean at the university, also a mathematician, was in favor of hiring Neother, although his argument was far from feminist (女权主义). “The female brain is unsuitable for mathematical production,” he wrote, “but Neother stood out as one of the rare exceptions.”
Unfortunately for Neother,the Ministry of Education would not give the university permission to have a woman as their teacher. Neother stayed in Gottingen and taught courses listed under the name of a male faculty teacher. During those years, she kept doing research and made important contributions to theoretical physics and Einstein's theory of relativity. The university finally granted her lecturer status. Two years later, Neother published revolutionary discoveries in ring theory, which is the study of mathematical objects called rings. Neotherian rings show up all the time in modern mathematics. Mathematicians still use Neother's map today, not just in ring theory, but in other area such as number theory and algebraic geometry.
24.What do we learn about Neother from paragraph 2
A. She taught at university as a teacher. B. She earned a degree in mathematics.
C. She was taught by her father at home D. She quit her mathematical journey early.
25.What can we infer from Bill Nicholl's words
A. He was struggling for feminist. B. Females' brains differed from males'.
C. Neother was a giant in mathematics. D. Women mathematicians were superb.
26.What do we know about Noether's ring theory
A. It is still used by mathematicians today.
B. It opens up a new field in modern physics.
C. It is based on Einstein's theory of relativity.
D. It lays the foundation for modern mathematics.
27. Which of the following can best describe Noether
A. Gifted and generous. B. Sensitive and determined.
C. Committed and creative. D. Hardworking and honest.
C
For want of a chip, the factory was lost. On May 18th Toyota became the latest carmaker forced to cut production in a global shortage of microchips, announcing it would stop work at two of its plants in Japan. Other car makers have also had to send workers home.
The pain is not limited to the car industry, for the shortage spans all sorts of chips, from the expensive, high-tech devices that power smartphones and data-centers to the simple sensors and micro-controllers that have become a vital commodity(商品). This chip drought is the result of the covid-19 pandemic interacting with an industry that is subject to cycles of boom and bust.
“The most important thing”, says Malcolm Penn, who runs a chip-industry consultancy, “is that shortages are a natural part of the industry.” Chipmaking is a good example of a “pork-cycle” business, named for the regular swings between under-and over-supply in pork markets. As with pigs, the supply of chips cannot quickly react to changes in demand. Capacity was tight even before the pandemic, says Mr Penn, pointing out that investment by chipmakers in factory equipment has been below its long-term average for many years.
The pandemic arrived at the worst possible time. After an early crash, demand in several fields boomed. Locked-down consumers bought laptops and other devices. Cloud-computing operators added servers to deal with the wave of home-workers. The car industry was particularly badly hit by a decision to cut orders early in the pandemic — demand for cars has since recovered. But the complexities of the production process mean it takes time to recover. “I can cancel my orders in an afternoon,” says Mr. Penn. “If I want to start them up again, that takes months — and that capacity is now busy serving other customers.”
But the pork cycle is turning once again.Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the world's biggest chipmaker, plans to spend $30bn on new capacity this year. Two other giants, have also decided on further investment. That will bring relief to the wider economy, but not immediately. The boss of IBM said he thought the shortages might last for two years. And, says Mr Penn, when the drought eventually ends, chipmakers may find they face a familiar problem on a bigger scale: a capacity investment in response to serious shortages today could well mean a sizeable surplus(过剩) tomorrow.
How does the author illustrate the cyclical nature of chipmaking in paragraph 3
A. By referring to a quotation. B. By making a comparison.
C. By drawing a conclusion. D. By presenting an argument.
29. What may the investment mentioned in paragraph 5 eventually lead to
A. Improved supply chain stability. B. Timely assistance to the business.
C. Economic growth in related sectors. D. Possible future oversupply of chips.
30. What can we learn from the passage
A. Production capacity would recover soon.
B. A combination of reasons led to chip shortage.
C. An investment of $30bn was enough for the problem.
D. Toyota was the first carmaker to suspend production.
31. What might be the best title for the passage
A. Loading,please wait B. Dying,please act
C. Calling,please respond D. Over-supplying,please stop
D
In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument — and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
　　Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.
　　However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate (阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.
　　These tools can help you win every argument — not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.
32. What is the author’s attitude toward Carnegie’s understanding of argument
　　A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Tolerant. D. Uncertain.
33. Why do many people try to avoid arguments
　　A. They lack debating skills. B. They may feel bad even if they win.
　　C. They fear being ignored. D. They are not confident in themselves.
34. What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in paragraph 3 probably mean
　　A. Defend. B. Explain. C. Conclude. D. Repeat.
35. What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author
　　A. Sense of logic. B. Solid supporting evidence.
　　C. Proper manners. D. Understanding from both sides.

Can We Stop Food Longing Through Imaginary Eating
Are you fighting an urge to reach for chocolate Then, let it melt in your mind, not in your mouth. According to the recent research, imagining eating a specific food reduces your interest in that food, so you eat less of it.
This reaction to repeated exposure to food—being less interested in something because you've experienced it too much — is called habituation. 36
The research is the first to show that habituation can occur through the power of the mind.
“If you just think about the food itself — how it tastes and smells — that will increase your appetite,” said Carey Morewedge, a well-known psychologist. “It might be better to force yourself to repeatedly think about chewing and swallowing the food in order to reduce your longing. 37 Visualizing yourself eating chocolate wouldn’t prevent you from eating lots of cheese.” he added.
Morewedge conducted an interesting experiment. 51 subjects were divided into three groups. One group was asked to imagine putting 30 coins into a laundry machine and then eating three chocolates. 38 Another group was asked to imagine putting three coins into a laundry machine and then eating 30 chocolates. Lastly, a control group imagined just putting 33 coins into the machine—with no chocolates. 39 When they said they had finished, these were taken away and weighed. The results showed the group that had imagined eating 30 chocolates each ate fewer of the chocolates than the other groups.
40 Physical signals—that full stomach feeling—are only part of what tells us we've finished a meal. The research suggests that psychological effects, such as habituation, also influence how much a person eats. It may lead to new behavioral techniques for people looking to eat more healthily, or have control over other habits.
A. What's more, this only works with the specific food you’ve imagined.
B. People were advised to try different methods to perform the experiment.
C. For example, a tenth bite is desired less than the first bite, according to the study.
D. All of them then ate freely from bowls containing the same amount of chocolate each.
E. It meant those who repeatedly imagined eating would concern about some specific food.
F. This requires the same motor skills as eating small chocolates from a packet, the study says.
G. This study is part of the research looking into what makes us eat more than we actually need.

Along the coastline in northeastern Australia, many flying foxes are infected with a 41 disease. That’s where Pam Tully comes in.

Pam relies on a few volunteers to help rescue the flying foxes during the migration season. Canace came from America to lend a hand to her aunt Pam, and to 45 some kind of purpose in life after her mother passed away.
Pam taught Canace to 46 the baby flying foxes, keep them wrapped in nappies, nurse them back to health and take them back into the 47 to rejoin their families.
Day after day, Pam led Canace 48 the rainforest, collecting babies and bringing them back to the shed where they were 49 by an animal doctor, fed every two hours by bottle and even taught to fly. Each flying fox released back into the wild was a 50 . And each time one 51 away, the loss Canace felt seemed just a little bit less.
We never 52 get over the loss of a loved one, but when we take care of a 53 creature, or 54 to somebody else who is hurting, the wound 55 just a little bit, and the hurt becomes a memory of being loved.

Chorus Competition Goes off with a Bang !
To showcase students’ talents, last Wednesday witnessed a chorus competition in the school auditorium, which involved both the teaching staff and students.
All the classes, immersed in the preparation for the competition, went to great lengths to adapt the music, conduct the stage design and rehearse. Then came the big day -December 9th, when all the participants impressed the audience and judges with abundant emotion and distinguished performance.
The activity turned out to be a huge success. Not only did it enrich students’ campus life, but it also relieved their stress from heavy schoolwork.
