B
When my daughter was seven years old, she came home from soccer practice clearly downhearted. When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her. As parents, we try to keep our children safe, but we can’t always be there to protect our kids from unkind words. I tried to comfort my daughter. I told her that she has a beautiful smile with nice, strong, healthy teeth. I explained why she shouldn’t let someone else’s criticisms define her. On the inside, though, I worried. From my youth, I’ve struggled with the concept that my self-worth was directly related to my physical appearance.
When I became a mom, I was terrified that this concept would take root in my daughter. I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might influence her idea of self-worth. I wanted to shield her little eyes from unrealistic beauty standards promoted by magazines, television, and movies. I wanted to guard her little heart from being broken by the idea that she didn’t live up to the standards in some way.
On social media, the battle became exceptionally greater. Every day we are bombarded (轰炸) with people living their “best life”, all told through filters (过滤器) which only highlight the “best” parts: best angles, best locations, best outfits, and best hair. Rarely do we get a glimpse of reality. On social media, outer beauty controls everything.
How, then, can we teach our kids that they are much more than their appearance We can start by modeling kindness, empathy, and self-acceptance in our own lives. Kids are incredible mimics (模仿者), so be mindful of what you say, even when you think your kids aren’t listening. If we are constantly putting ourselves down, our kids will follow suit. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Additionally, try to teach your children to see the inner beauty in themselves and in others. There’s beauty in strength, goodness, gentleness, perseverance, and kindness. Praise kids for their acts of kindness, like sharing with a friend or helping a family member without being asked, and talk to them about how it makes them feel.
34. How did the author react to her daughter’s trouble
A Thrilled. B. Apologetic. C. Sorrowful. D. Curious.
35. What does the underlined word shield probably mean in paragraph 2
A. Cure. B. Fix. C. Broaden. D. Protect.
36. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Everything in social media is not true.
B. Social media reflects an unrealistic world.
C. People like to share their privacy in social media.
D. People attach more importance to their physical appearance.
37. What should parents do to their kids
A. Tell them to behave themselves.
B. Praise their kids for their appearance.
C. Set a positive example for their kids.
D. Encourage their kids to ignore the outer beauty.
C
The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connect ion between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
As adults, we face a version(版本) of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism(机制) to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining (获取) calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch(不匹配) is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist (抵抗) tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.
A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative (有重大影响的) environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized (高度重视) new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now endlessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful (深思熟虑的) about our caloric consumption (热量消耗), we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.
38. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test
A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers.
C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes.
39. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ______.
A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs
C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit
40. What does the author suggest readers do
A. Absorb new information readily (欣然地). B. Use diverse information sources.
C. Be selective information consumers. D. Protect the information environment.
41. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Eat Less Read More B. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans
C. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups D. The Marshmallow Test for Children.
D
On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
42. What does the project aim to do
A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
C. Prevent the formation of hailstones. D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
43. Who are opposed to the project
A. Managers of insurance companies. B. Farmers in east-central Alberta.
C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
44. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999
A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C. To show the link between storms and moisture. D. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
45. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.

How to Stop Being a People Pleaser
As a recovering people pleaser, I spent much of my life keeping others happy. Breaking this habit meant stepping on a few toes. However, I’ve become a happier person as a result. Here are some tips I used to stop being a people pleaser.
Identify your priorities. Take a moment to think about why you are trying to learn how to stop being a people pleaser. Who are the people that you feel the need to please ____46____ Answering these questions will help you set a goal that you can hold yourself accountable to.
Just say “no”. One reason why people pleasers say “yes” to everything is that they fear disappointing others. ____47____ If you are a people pleaser, you are likely to spend lots of energy trying to control how people feel about you. The best thing you can do is let them feel their feelings. It will feel liberating to free yourself from being responsible for someone else's reaction.
____48____ Saying “no” is a good way to set better boundaries in your important relationships. All healthy relationships have their own boundaries. If you haven’t set boundaries in your relationships, the odds are that at some point you will end up feeling pressured to do something you don’t want to do.
Accept yourself. Many people pleasers are insecure about who they are. ____49____ Check out our summary of Brené Brown’s the Gifts of Imperfection to learn how to accept your imperfections and love yourself.
Remember that you cannot please everyone. No matter what you do there will always be someone who is unhappy with your choices. ____50____
A. Set healthy boundaries.
B. Keep healthy relationships.
C. Why do you feel the need to keep them happy
D. Spend some time learning to love yourself for who you are.
E. And why bother trying to please everyone if it isn’t possible
F. But saying “no” is the best way to take care of your own needs.
G. That is why the more you seek security, the less of it you have.

Growing up in the 1960s, I was taught from an early age to send a handwritten thank-you note expressing ____51____ for kindness. My mother used to buy me a box of paper and ____52____ me in the art and value of saying “thank you”. She ____53____ to be right.
A study showed that it took most volunteers less than 5 minutes to write the thank-you notes. Just 5 minutes to make another person feel “overjoyed”! ____54____, in our “instant” world, the idea of getting an actual pen and writing an actual note seems to never come to mind. We tend to do what is ____55____ for us — a quick text or an email.
It’s easy to use the ____56____ of being busy, but even very busy and successful businessmen find time to ____57____ thank-you notes. For example, when Doug Conant became CEO of Campbell’s Soup, the company had ____58____ half of its market value and morale (士气) was at an all-time low. He ____59____ fixing that by doing some simple things that are probably not taught in any MBA class. For one thing, Conant wrote to every _____60_____. He gained their confidence and _____61_____, turned the company around.
In his ten years as CEO, Conant wrote over 30,000 notes to employees. It’s _____62_____ not to ask how he did it. _____63_____, he had many other things to do _____64_____ writing a thank-you note.

When my daughter was seven years old, she came home from soccer practice clearly downhearted. When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her. As parents, we try to keep our children safe, but we can’t always be there to protect our kids from unkind words. I tried to comfort my daughter. I told her that she has a beautiful smile with nice, strong, healthy teeth. I explained why she shouldn’t let someone else’s criticisms define her. On the inside, though, I worried. From my youth, I’ve struggled with the concept that my self-worth was directly related to my physical appearance.
When I became a mom, I was terrified that this concept would take root in my daughter. I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might influence her idea of self-worth. I wanted to shield her little eyes from unrealistic beauty standards promoted by magazines, television, and movies. I wanted to guard her little heart from being broken by the idea that she didn’t live up to the standards in some way.
On social media, the battle became exceptionally greater. Every day we are bombarded (轰炸) with people living their “best life”, all told through filters (过滤器) which only highlight the “best” parts: best angles, best locations, best outfits, and best hair. Rarely do we get a glimpse of reality. On social media, outer beauty controls everything.
How, then, can we teach our kids that they are much more than their appearance We can start by modeling kindness, empathy, and self-acceptance in our own lives. Kids are incredible mimics (模仿者), so be mindful of what you say, even when you think your kids aren’t listening. If we are constantly putting ourselves down, our kids will follow suit. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Additionally, try to teach your children to see the inner beauty in themselves and in others. There’s beauty in strength, goodness, gentleness, perseverance, and kindness. Praise kids for their acts of kindness, like sharing with a friend or helping a family member without being asked, and talk to them about how it makes them feel.
34. How did the author react to her daughter’s trouble
A. Thrilled. B. Apologetic. C. Sorrowful. D. Curious.
35. What does the underlined word shield probably mean in paragraph 2
A. Cure. B. Fix. C. Broaden. D. Protect.
36. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Everything in social media is not true.
B. Social media reflects an unrealistic world.
C. People like to share their privacy in social media.
D. People attach more importance to their physical appearance.
37. What should parents do to their kids
A. Tell them to behave themselves.
B. Praise their kids for their appearance.
C. Set a positive example for their kids.
D. Encourage their kids to ignore the outer beauty.
【答案】34. C 35. D 36. A 37. C
C
The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connect ion between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
As adults, we face a version(版本) of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism(机制) to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining (获取) calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch(不匹配) is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist (抵抗) tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.
A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative (有重大影响的) environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized (高度重视) new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now endlessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful (深思熟虑的) about our caloric consumption (热量消耗), we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.
38. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test
A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers.
C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes.
39. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ______.
A the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs
C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit
40. What does the author suggest readers do
A. Absorb new information readily (欣然地). B. Use diverse information sources.
C. Be selective information consumers. D. Protect the information environment.
41. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans
C. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups D. The Marshmallow Test for Children.
【答案】38. D 39. C 40. C 41. C
D
On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
42. What does the project aim to do
A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
C. Prevent the formation of hailstones. D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
43. Who are opposed to the project
A. Managers of insurance companies. B. Farmers in east-central Alberta.
C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
44. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999
A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C. To show the link between storms and moisture. D. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
45. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
【答案】42. C 43. B 44. D 45. B

How to Stop Being a People Pleaser
As a recovering people pleaser, I spent much of my life keeping others happy. Breaking this habit meant stepping on a few toes. However, I’ve become a happier person as a result. Here are some tips I used to stop being a people pleaser.
Identify your priorities. Take a moment to think about why you are trying to learn how to stop being a people pleaser. Who are the people that you feel the need to please ____46____ Answering these questions will help you set a goal that you can hold yourself accountable to.
Just say “no”. One reason why people pleasers say “yes” to everything is that they fear disappointing others. ____47____ If you are a people pleaser, you are likely to spend lots of energy trying to control how people feel about you. The best thing you can do is let them feel their feelings. It will feel liberating to free yourself from being responsible for someone else's reaction.
____48____ Saying “no” is a good way to set better boundaries in your important relationships. All healthy relationships have their own boundaries. If you haven’t set boundaries in your relationships, the odds are that at some point you will end up feeling pressured to do something you don’t want to do.
Accept yourself. Many people pleasers are insecure about who they are. ____49____ Check out our summary of Brené Brown’s the Gifts of Imperfection to learn how to accept your imperfections and love yourself.
Remember that you cannot please everyone. No matter what you do there will always be someone who is unhappy with your choices. ____50____
A. Set healthy boundaries.
B. Keep healthy relationships.
C. Why do you feel the need to keep them happy
D. Spend some time learning to love yourself for who you are.
E. And why bother trying to please everyone if it isn’t possible
F. But saying “no” is the best way to take care of your own needs.
G. That is why the more you seek security, the less of it you have.

A study showed that it took most volunteers less than 5 minutes to write the thank-you notes. Just 5 minutes to make another person feel “overjoyed”! ____54____, in our “instant” world, the idea of getting an actual pen and writing an actual note seems to never come to mind. We tend to do what is ____55____ for us — a quick text or an email.
It’s easy to use the ____56____ of being busy, but even very busy and successful businessmen find time to ____57____ thank-you notes. For example, when Doug Conant became CEO of Campbell’s Soup, the company had ____58____ half of its market value and morale (士气) was at an all-time low. He ____59____ fixing that by doing some simple things that are probably not taught in any MBA class. For one thing, Conant wrote to every _____60_____. He gained their confidence and _____61_____, turned the company around.
In his ten years as CEO, Conant wrote over 30,000 notes to employees. It’s _____62_____ not to ask how he did it. _____63_____, he had many other things to do _____64_____ writing a thank-you note.

When my daughter was seven years old, she came home from soccer practice clearly downhearted. When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her. As parents, we try to keep our children safe, but we can’t always be there to protect our kids from unkind words. I tried to comfort my daughter. I told her that she has a beautiful smile with nice, strong, healthy teeth. I explained why she shouldn’t let someone else’s criticisms define her. On the inside, though, I worried. From my youth, I’ve struggled with the concept that my self-worth was directly related to my physical appearance.
When I became a mom, I was terrified that this concept would take root in my daughter. I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might influence her idea of self-worth. I wanted to shield her little eyes from unrealistic beauty standards promoted by magazines, television, and movies. I wanted to guard her little heart from being broken by the idea that she didn’t live up to the standards in some way.
On social media, the battle became exceptionally greater. Every day we are bombarded (轰炸) with people living their “best life”, all told through filters (过滤器) which only highlight the “best” parts: best angles, best locations, best outfits, and best hair. Rarely do we get a glimpse of reality. On social media, outer beauty controls everything.
How, then, can we teach our kids that they are much more than their appearance We can start by modeling kindness, empathy, and self-acceptance in our own lives. Kids are incredible mimics (模仿者), so be mindful of what you say, even when you think your kids aren’t listening. If we are constantly putting ourselves down, our kids will follow suit. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Additionally, try to teach your children to see the inner beauty in themselves and in others. There’s beauty in strength, goodness, gentleness, perseverance, and kindness. Praise kids for their acts of kindness, like sharing with a friend or helping a family member without being asked, and talk to them about how it makes them feel.
34. How did the author react to her daughter’s trouble
A Thrilled. B. Apologetic. C. Sorrowful. D. Curious.
35. What does the underlined word shield probably mean in paragraph 2
A. Cure. B. Fix. C. Broaden. D. Protect.
36. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Everything in social media is not true.
B. Social media reflects an unrealistic world.
C. People like to share their privacy in social media.
D. People attach more importance to their physical appearance.
37. What should parents do to their kids
A. Tell them to behave themselves.
B. Praise their kids for their appearance.
C. Set a positive example for their kids.
D. Encourage their kids to ignore the outer beauty.
C
The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connect ion between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
As adults, we face a version(版本) of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism(机制) to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining (获取) calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch(不匹配) is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist (抵抗) tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.
A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative (有重大影响的) environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized (高度重视) new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now endlessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful (深思熟虑的) about our caloric consumption (热量消耗), we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.
38. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test
A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers.
C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes.
39. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ______.
A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs
C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit
40. What does the author suggest readers do
A. Absorb new information readily (欣然地). B. Use diverse information sources.
C. Be selective information consumers. D. Protect the information environment.
41. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Eat Less Read More B. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans
C. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups D. The Marshmallow Test for Children.
D
On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
42. What does the project aim to do
A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
C. Prevent the formation of hailstones. D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
43. Who are opposed to the project
A. Managers of insurance companies. B. Farmers in east-central Alberta.
C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
44. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999
A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C. To show the link between storms and moisture. D. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
45. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.

How to Stop Being a People Pleaser
As a recovering people pleaser, I spent much of my life keeping others happy. Breaking this habit meant stepping on a few toes. However, I’ve become a happier person as a result. Here are some tips I used to stop being a people pleaser.
Identify your priorities. Take a moment to think about why you are trying to learn how to stop being a people pleaser. Who are the people that you feel the need to please ____46____ Answering these questions will help you set a goal that you can hold yourself accountable to.
Just say “no”. One reason why people pleasers say “yes” to everything is that they fear disappointing others. ____47____ If you are a people pleaser, you are likely to spend lots of energy trying to control how people feel about you. The best thing you can do is let them feel their feelings. It will feel liberating to free yourself from being responsible for someone else's reaction.
____48____ Saying “no” is a good way to set better boundaries in your important relationships. All healthy relationships have their own boundaries. If you haven’t set boundaries in your relationships, the odds are that at some point you will end up feeling pressured to do something you don’t want to do.
Accept yourself. Many people pleasers are insecure about who they are. ____49____ Check out our summary of Brené Brown’s the Gifts of Imperfection to learn how to accept your imperfections and love yourself.
Remember that you cannot please everyone. No matter what you do there will always be someone who is unhappy with your choices. ____50____
A. Set healthy boundaries.
B. Keep healthy relationships.
C. Why do you feel the need to keep them happy
D. Spend some time learning to love yourself for who you are.
E. And why bother trying to please everyone if it isn’t possible
F. But saying “no” is the best way to take care of your own needs.
G. That is why the more you seek security, the less of it you have.

When my daughter was seven years old, she came home from soccer practice clearly downhearted. When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her. As parents, we try to keep our children safe, but we can’t always be there to protect our kids from unkind words. I tried to comfort my daughter. I told her that she has a beautiful smile with nice, strong, healthy teeth. I explained why she shouldn’t let someone else’s criticisms define her. On the inside, though, I worried. From my youth, I’ve struggled with the concept that my self-worth was directly related to my physical appearance.
When I became a mom, I was terrified that this concept would take root in my daughter. I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might influence her idea of self-worth. I wanted to shield her little eyes from unrealistic beauty standards promoted by magazines, television, and movies. I wanted to guard her little heart from being broken by the idea that she didn’t live up to the standards in some way.
On social media, the battle became exceptionally greater. Every day we are bombarded (轰炸) with people living their “best life”, all told through filters (过滤器) which only highlight the “best” parts: best angles, best locations, best outfits, and best hair. Rarely do we get a glimpse of reality. On social media, outer beauty controls everything.
How, then, can we teach our kids that they are much more than their appearance We can start by modeling kindness, empathy, and self-acceptance in our own lives. Kids are incredible mimics (模仿者), so be mindful of what you say, even when you think your kids aren’t listening. If we are constantly putting ourselves down, our kids will follow suit. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Additionally, try to teach your children to see the inner beauty in themselves and in others. There’s beauty in strength, goodness, gentleness, perseverance, and kindness. Praise kids for their acts of kindness, like sharing with a friend or helping a family member without being asked, and talk to them about how it makes them feel.
34. How did the author react to her daughter’s trouble
A. Thrilled. B. Apologetic. C. Sorrowful. D. Curious.
35. What does the underlined word shield probably mean in paragraph 2
A. Cure. B. Fix. C. Broaden. D. Protect.
36. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Everything in social media is not true.
B. Social media reflects an unrealistic world.
C. People like to share their privacy in social media.
D. People attach more importance to their physical appearance.
37. What should parents do to their kids
A. Tell them to behave themselves.
B. Praise their kids for their appearance.
C. Set a positive example for their kids.
D. Encourage their kids to ignore the outer beauty.
【答案】34. C 35. D 36. A 37. C
C
The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connect ion between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
As adults, we face a version(版本) of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism(机制) to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining (获取) calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch(不匹配) is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist (抵抗) tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.
A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative (有重大影响的) environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized (高度重视) new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now endlessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful (深思熟虑的) about our caloric consumption (热量消耗), we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.
38. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test
A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers.
C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes.
39. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ______.
A the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs
C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit
40. What does the author suggest readers do
A. Absorb new information readily (欣然地). B. Use diverse information sources.
C. Be selective information consumers. D. Protect the information environment.
41. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans
C. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups D. The Marshmallow Test for Children.
【答案】38. D 39. C 40. C 41. C
D
On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
42. What does the project aim to do
A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
C. Prevent the formation of hailstones. D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
43. Who are opposed to the project
A. Managers of insurance companies. B. Farmers in east-central Alberta.
C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
44. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999
A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C. To show the link between storms and moisture. D. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
45. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
【答案】42. C 43. B 44. D 45. B

How to Stop Being a People Pleaser
As a recovering people pleaser, I spent much of my life keeping others happy. Breaking this habit meant stepping on a few toes. However, I’ve become a happier person as a result. Here are some tips I used to stop being a people pleaser.
