B
On a cold morning in May, I received a fascinating email from a high school friend, inviting me to a 10-day all-female surfing adventure in Portugal. The offer was irresistible (不可抗拒的), and I instantly knew my answer was yes. The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45 years old, all strangers, will gather on the Portuguese coast to embrace the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves. As a travel enthusiast, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: we often limit ourselves to refining (改进) skills we already possess. There’s a certain pride in improving our expertise (专业知识), becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to neglecting other areas of potential growth.
Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a persistent desire to challenge ourselves, learn, suffer and grow.
The shores at Eeenriceira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for soft er waves but are difficult to navigate (驾驭). Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked.
Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.
31. What motivated the author to join the surf trip to Portugal
A. The opportunity to improve existing skills.
B. The need to reconnect with a high school friend.
C. The chance to undertake work duties in Portugal.
D. The desire to embrace a challenge and learn a new skill.
32. According to the writer, what problem may an adult have if he focuses on just one area of expertise (no more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________________________
33 Which of the following words best describe the writer’s experience with surfing
A. Boring and conventional. B. Challenging but fulfilling.
C. Demanding and annoying. D. Calming but unpredictable.
C
It may feel unforgivably rude to reject an invitation — even one to an event you would much prefer not to attend — but people often overestimate the social consequences of saying “no”.
In one experiment, the researchers asked participants to read a scenario (脚本) where they either invited or were invited by one of their friends to dinner on a Saturday night at a local restaurant with a celebrity chef. The participants who were given the invitation were told to imagine they declined because they already had plans during the day and wanted to spend a night at home relaxing. The participants who imagined giving the invitation were told their friends declined for the same reason. “Across our experiments, we consistently found that invitees often overestimate the negative consequences that may arise in the eyes of inviters after declining an invitation,” Julian Givi, a professor said.
In another experiment, the researchers recruited (招募) 160 people to participate in what was called a “couples survey” with their significant other. Of the couples who participated, 4% had been together for less than six months, 1% six to 12 months, 21% one to five years and 74% had been together for more than five years. Regardless of the length of the couples’ relationship, the researchers found that the person who rejected their partner’s invitation to a fun activity tended to believe that their partner would be angrier or more likely to feel as if the rejection meant they did not care about their partner than they actually did.
The researchers believe their findings show people consistently overestimate how upset someone will be when they decline an invitation, even if they have a long-standing, close relationship.
Givi says that people could benefit from turning down invitations on occasion when it could help them avoid burnout, as doing so will not necessarily have the major consequences they expect it will. “Burnout is the real thing, especially around the holidays when we are often invited to too many events,” he said. “Don’t be afraid to turn down invitations once in a while. But, keep in mind that spending time with others is how relationships develop, so don’t decline every invitation.”
34. How did the researchers conduct the first experiment mentioned in the passage
A. By asking participants to invite their friends.
B. By analyzing the data of declining consequences.
C. By recording the invitation refusals of participants.
D. By offering participants an imaginary life situation.
pared with the first experiment, what does the second experiment focus more on
A How partners decline an invitation.
B. What couples care about during an invitation.
C. Whether relationships affect the refusal of an invitation.
D. Why partners feel angry about the refusal of an invitation.
36. According to Julian Givi, what are the benefits of turning down invitations occasionally (no more than 10words)
________________________________________________________________________________
37. What might be the best title for the text
A. How to Decline in a Polite Way B. How to Send a Proper Invitation
C. Why Not Refuse That Invitation D. Why Shouldn’t We Refuse That Invitation
D
Victor Frankl, the author of Man’s Search for Meaning, once wrote, “Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances. Frank was right. Attitude is a choice. You could be faced with a thousand problems, many or most over which you have absolutely no control. However, there is always one thing you are in complete and absolute control of and that is your own attitude.
To be honest, it wasn’t until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact. All through my teens and into my early adult life, I can’t tell you the number of times that I heard, “Bob, if you’d just change your attitude, you would do a lot better.” At that time, I didn’t know what attitude was, let alone know how to change it!
Attitude and results are inseparable. They follow one another as night follows day. One is the cause, while the other, the result. There is a term we use to distinguish this “cause and effect” relationship, which is called the Law of Cause and Effect. Simply stated, if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results. Some people always see wrong things in the world. These individuals are quick to blame circumstances or other people for their problems, rather than accepting responsibility for their life and their attitude. Thus, it would appear as if they were born with bad luck and it has followed them around their whole life. However, there are others who are forever winning and living the good life. They are the real movers and shakers who make things happen. They seem to go from one major accomplishment to another. They’re in control of their life. Their wins are a matter of choice.
You can experience that kind of life as well, you only need to decide. Dorothea Brand once said, “Act as if it were impossible to fail,” and I challenge you to do so. By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day, you will change your entire outlook. You have the power to choose an abundant life no matter what your circumstances are. Don’t wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you. Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead.
38. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1 (no more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________________________
39. Why does the writer use the example of himself in Paragraph 2
A. To prove attitude changes on its own. B. To show attitude is important to the old.
C. To show understanding attitude takes time. D. To prove the author himself was very stubborn.
40. What can we learn from the Law of Cause and Effect
A. Our attitude plays a crucial role in determining the outcomes we experience.
B. Luck and chance also play an incredibly important role in the results we get.
C. Blaming external circumstances can actually bring benefits to our mental health.
D. Negative attitudes may occasionally bring positive results due to external factors.
41. What is the writer’s attitude towards those who believe in the power of positive mindsets (心态)
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.

It’s no surprise that there’s a link between exercise and mental health. But scientists have now made it official: research has found a direct connection between movement and mood. Why does exercise hold so many benefits for our mental health ____42____.
When our muscles tighten, chains of amino acids (氨基酸) called myokines (肌细胞因子) are released into the bloodstream. ____43____. This communication increases adaptation to stress, reduces symptoms of anxiety and has a direct effect on depression.

He says regular exercise in a group setting can boost self-esteem and decrease feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Exercise helps build key connections between the networks within the brain too. ____45____. Studies have shown that physical activity stimulates creativity, sharpens judgement skills and improves mental energy. It can also help to slow age-related cognitive decline, possibly even slowing the pace of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Marva Collins’ journey as a teacher began in the 1960s, when she was assigned to teach at a public school in Chicago. At the time, the school was troubled by low academic standards and misbehavior of the students. Despite these challenges. Collins was determined to help those students labeled as “difficult” or “at-risk”. Believing that every student had the potential to learn and succeed, she set out to create a classroom environment that would foster a love of learning, a sense of discipline, and a belief in oneself.
Collins first established a rigorous academic curriculum that would challenge her students to reach their full potential. She taught her students traditional subjects and also emphasized critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity. Her teaching methods were highly effective, and students soon began to show remarkable progress.
But Collins’ greatest achievement was the founding of the Westside Prep School, which she started in 1975. The school provided a safe and nurturing environment where students could thrive academically and socially and therefore it was considered as the “haven for learning”.
At the Prep School. Collin s stressed the importance of discipline and hard work. She expected her students to arrive on time, in uniform, and ready to learn, and she installed in them a sense of responsibility and accountability. Collins also emphasized the importance of building relationships between teachers and students. She believed that strong relationships were the foundation of effective teaching, are she encouraged her teachers to personalize their instruction based on the students’ individual differences.
Under her leadership, the Prep School became known for its high academic standards and its ability to help struggling students. Many of the school’s graduates went on to attend top colleges and universities, and some went on to become leaders in their fields.
Collins’ impact on education was recognized by educators around the world. Today, her legacy lives on. Her emphasis on discipline, hard work, and relationships continues to be a model for effective teaching, and her belief in the potential of every student continues to inspire educators to make a difference in the lives of the at-risk students.

48. Why was the Prep School considered the “haven for learning”

On a cold morning in May, I received a fascinating email from a high school friend, inviting me to a 10-day all-female surfing adventure in Portugal. The offer was irresistible (不可抗拒的), and I instantly knew my answer was yes. The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45 years old, all strangers, will gather on the Portuguese coast to embrace the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves. As a travel enthusiast, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: we often limit ourselves to refining (改进) skills we already possess. There’s a certain pride in improving our expertise (专业知识), becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to neglecting other areas of potential growth.
Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a persistent desire to challenge ourselves, learn, suffer and grow.
The shores at Eeenriceira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for soft er waves but are difficult to navigate (驾驭). Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked.
Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.

It may feel unforgivably rude to reject an invitation — even one to an event you would much prefer not to attend — but people often overestimate the social consequences of saying “no”.
In one experiment, the researchers asked participants to read a scenario (脚本) where they either invited or were invited by one of their friends to dinner on a Saturday night at a local restaurant with a celebrity chef. The participants who were given the invitation were told to imagine they declined because they already had plans during the day and wanted to spend a night at home relaxing. The participants who imagined giving the invitation were told their friends declined for the same reason. “Across our experiments, we consistently found that invitees often overestimate the negative consequences that may arise in the eyes of inviters after declining an invitation,” Julian Givi, a professor said.
In another experiment, the researchers recruited (招募) 160 people to participate in what was called a “couples survey” with their significant other. Of the couples who participated, 4% had been together for less than six months, 1% six to 12 months, 21% one to five years and 74% had been together for more than five years. Regardless of the length of the couples’ relationship, the researchers found that the person who rejected their partner’s invitation to a fun activity tended to believe that their partner would be angrier or more likely to feel as if the rejection meant they did not care about their partner than they actually did.
The researchers believe their findings show people consistently overestimate how upset someone will be when they decline an invitation, even if they have a long-standing, close relationship.
Givi says that people could benefit from turning down invitations on occasion when it could help them avoid burnout, as doing so will not necessarily have the major consequences they expect it will. “Burnout is the real thing, especially around the holidays when we are often invited to too many events,” he said. “Don’t be afraid to turn down invitations once in a while. But, keep in mind that spending time with others is how relationships develop, so don’t decline every invitation.”
34. How did the researchers conduct the first experiment mentioned in the passage
A. By asking participants to invite their friends.
B. By analyzing the data of declining consequences.
C. By recording the invitation refusals of participants.
D. By offering participants an imaginary life situation.
pared with the first experiment, what does the second experiment focus more on
A. How partners decline an invitation.
B. What couples care about during an invitation.
C. Whether relationships affect the refusal of an invitation.
D. Why partners feel angry about the refusal of an invitation.
36. According to Julian Givi, what are the benefits of turning down invitations occasionally (no more than 10words)

Victor Frankl, the author of Man’s Search for Meaning, once wrote, “Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances. Frank was right. Attitude is a choice. You could be faced with a thousand problems, many or most over which you have absolutely no control. However, there is always one thing you are in complete and absolute control of and that is your own attitude.
To be honest, it wasn’t until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact. All through my teens and into my early adult life, I can’t tell you the number of times that I heard, “Bob, if you’d just change your attitude, you would do a lot better.” At that time, I didn’t know what attitude was, let alone know how to change it!
Attitude and results are inseparable. They follow one another as night follows day. One is the cause, while the other, the result. There is a term we use to distinguish this “cause and effect” relationship, which is called the Law of Cause and Effect. Simply stated, if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results. Some people always see wrong things in the world. These individuals are quick to blame circumstances or other people for their problems, rather than accepting responsibility for their life and their attitude. Thus, it would appear as if they were born with bad luck and it has followed them around their whole life. However, there are others who are forever winning and living the good life. They are the real movers and shakers who make things happen. They seem to go from one major accomplishment to another. They’re in control of their life. Their wins are a matter of choice.
You can experience that kind of life as well, you only need to decide. Dorothea Brand once said, “Act as if it were impossible to fail,” and I challenge you to do so. By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day, you will change your entire outlook. You have the power to choose an abundant life no matter what your circumstances are. Don’t wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you. Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead.

Marva Collins’ journey as a teacher began in the 1960s, when she was assigned to teach at a public school in Chicago. At the time, the school was troubled by low academic standards and misbehavior of the students. Despite these challenges. Collins was determined to help those students labeled as “difficult” or “at-risk”. Believing that every student had the potential to learn and succeed, she set out to create a classroom environment that would foster a love of learning, a sense of discipline, and a belief in oneself.
Collins first established a rigorous academic curriculum that would challenge her students to reach their full potential. She taught her students traditional subjects and also emphasized critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity. Her teaching methods were highly effective, and students soon began to show remarkable progress.
But Collins’ greatest achievement was the founding of the Westside Prep School, which she started in 1975. The school provided a safe and nurturing environment where students could thrive academically and socially and therefore it was considered as the “haven for learning”.
At the Prep School. Collin s stressed the importance of discipline and hard work. She expected her students to arrive on time, in uniform, and ready to learn, and she installed in them a sense of responsibility and accountability. Collins also emphasized the importance of building relationships between teachers and students. She believed that strong relationships were the foundation of effective teaching, are she encouraged her teachers to personalize their instruction based on the students’ individual differences.
Under her leadership, the Prep School became known for its high academic standards and its ability to help struggling students. Many of the school’s graduates went on to attend top colleges and universities, and some went on to become leaders in their fields.
Collins’ impact on education was recognized by educators around the world. Today, her legacy lives on. Her emphasis on discipline, hard work, and relationships continues to be a model for effective teaching, and her belief in the potential of every student continues to inspire educators to make a difference in the lives of the at-risk students.

B
On a cold morning in May, I received a fascinating email from a high school friend, inviting me to a 10-day all-female surfing adventure in Portugal. The offer was irresistible (不可抗拒的), and I instantly knew my answer was yes. The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45 years old, all strangers, will gather on the Portuguese coast to embrace the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves. As a travel enthusiast, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: we often limit ourselves to refining (改进) skills we already possess. There’s a certain pride in improving our expertise (专业知识), becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to neglecting other areas of potential growth.
Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a persistent desire to challenge ourselves, learn, suffer and grow.
The shores at Eeenriceira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for soft er waves but are difficult to navigate (驾驭). Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked.
Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.
31. What motivated the author to join the surf trip to Portugal
A. The opportunity to improve existing skills.
B. The need to reconnect with a high school friend.
C. The chance to undertake work duties in Portugal.
D. The desire to embrace a challenge and learn a new skill.

On a cold morning in May, I received a fascinating email from a high school friend, inviting me to a 10-day all-female surfing adventure in Portugal. The offer was irresistible (不可抗拒的), and I instantly knew my answer was yes. The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45 years old, all strangers, will gather on the Portuguese coast to embrace the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves. As a travel enthusiast, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: we often limit ourselves to refining (改进) skills we already possess. There’s a certain pride in improving our expertise (专业知识), becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to neglecting other areas of potential growth.
Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a persistent desire to challenge ourselves, learn, suffer and grow.
The shores at Eeenriceira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for soft er waves but are difficult to navigate (驾驭). Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked.
Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.
31. What motivated the author to join the surf trip to Portugal
A. The opportunity to improve existing skills.
B. The need to reconnect with a high school friend.
C. The chance to undertake work duties in Portugal.
D. The desire to embrace a challenge and learn a new skill.
32. According to the writer what problem may an adult have if he focuses on just one area of expertise (no more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________________________
33. Which of the following words best describe the writer’s experience with surfing
A. Boring and conventional. B. Challenging but fulfilling.
C. Demanding and annoying. D. Calming but unpredictable.
【答案】31. D 32. It limits one’s skills. 33. B
C
It may feel unforgivably rude to reject an invitation — even one to an event you would much prefer not to attend — but people often overestimate the social consequences of saying “no”.
In one experiment, the researchers asked participants to read a scenario (脚本) where they either invited or were invited by one of their friends to dinner on a Saturday night at a local restaurant with a celebrity chef. The participants who were given the invitation were told to imagine they declined because they already had plans during the day and wanted to spend a night at home relaxing. The participants who imagined giving the invitation were told their friends declined for the same reason. “Across our experiments, we consistently found that invitees often overestimate the negative consequences that may arise in the eyes of inviters after declining an invitation,” Julian Givi, a professor said.
In another experiment, the researchers recruited (招募) 160 people to participate in what was called a “couples survey” with their significant other. Of the couples who participated, 4% had been together for less than six months, 1% six to 12 months, 21% one to five years and 74% had been together for more than five years. Regardless of the length of the couples’ relationship, the researchers found that the person who rejected their partner’s invitation to a fun activity tended to believe that their partner would be angrier or more likely to feel as if the rejection meant they did not care about their partner than they actually did.
The researchers believe their findings show people consistently overestimate how upset someone will be when they decline an invitation, even if they have a long-standing, close relationship.
Givi says that people could benefit from turning down invitations on occasion when it could help them avoid burnout, as doing so will not necessarily have the major consequences they expect it will. “Burnout is the real thing, especially around the holidays when we are often invited to too many events,” he said. “Don’t be afraid to turn down invitations once in a while. But, keep in mind that spending time with others is how relationships develop, so don’t decline every invitation.”
34. How did the researchers conduct the first experiment mentioned in the passage
A. By asking participants to invite their friends.
B. By analyzing the data of declining consequences.
C. By recording the invitation refusals of participants.
D. By offering participants an imaginary life situation.
pared with the first experiment, what does the second experiment focus more on
A. How partners decline an invitation.
B. What couples care about during an invitation.
C. Whether relationships affect the refusal of an invitation.
D. Why partners feel angry about the refusal of an invitation.
36. According to Julian Givi, what are the benefits of turning down invitations occasionally (no more than 10words)
________________________________________________________________________________
37. What might be the best title for the text
A. How to Decline in a Polite Way B. How to Send a Proper Invitation
C. Why Not Refuse That Invitation D. Why Shouldn’t We Refuse That Invitation
【答案】34. D 35. C
36. To keep away from tiredness. 37. C
Victor Frankl, the author of Man’s Search for Meaning, once wrote, “Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances. Frank was right. Attitude is a choice. You could be faced with a thousand problems, many or most over which you have absolutely no control. However, there is always one thing you are in complete and absolute control of and that is your own attitude.
To be honest, it wasn’t until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact. All through my teens and into my early adult life, I can’t tell you the number of times that I heard, “Bob, if you’d just change your attitude, you would do a lot better.” At that time, I didn’t know what attitude was, let alone know how to change it!
Attitude and results are inseparable. They follow one another as night follows day. One is the cause, while the other, the result. There is a term we use to distinguish this “cause and effect” relationship, which is called the Law of Cause and Effect. Simply stated, if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results. Some people always see wrong things in the world. These individuals are quick to blame circumstances or other people for their problems, rather than accepting responsibility for their life and their attitude. Thus, it would appear as if they were born with bad luck and it has followed them around their whole life. However, there are others who are forever winning and living the good life. They are the real movers and shakers who make things happen. They seem to go from one major accomplishment to another. They’re in control of their life. Their wins are a matter of choice.
You can experience that kind of life as well, you only need to decide. Dorothea Brand once said, “Act as if it were impossible to fail,” and I challenge you to do so. By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day, you will change your entire outlook. You have the power to choose an abundant life no matter what your circumstances are. Don’t wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you. Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead.
38. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1 (no more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________________________
39. Why does the writer use the example of himself in Paragraph 2
A. To prove attitude changes on its own. B. To show attitude is important to the old.
C. To show understanding attitude takes time. D. To prove the author himself was very stubborn.
40. What can we learn from the Law of Cause and Effect
A. Our attitude plays a crucial role in determining the outcomes we experience.
B. Luck and chance also play an incredibly important role in the results we get.
C. Blaming external circumstances can actually bring benefits to our mental health.
D Negative attitudes may occasionally bring positive results due to external factors.
41. What is the writer’s attitude towards those who believe in the power of positive mindsets (心态)
A Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.
【答案】38. We can choose our attitude at any time. 39. C 40. A 41. C

Marva Collins’ journey as a teacher began in the 1960s, when she was assigned to teach at a public school in Chicago. At the time, the school was troubled by low academic standards and misbehavior of the students. Despite these challenges. Collins was determined to help those students labeled as “difficult” or “at-risk”. Believing that every student had the potential to learn and succeed, she set out to create a classroom environment that would foster a love of learning, a sense of discipline, and a belief in oneself.
Collins first established a rigorous academic curriculum that would challenge her students to reach their full potential. She taught her students traditional subjects and also emphasized critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity. Her teaching methods were highly effective, and students soon began to show remarkable progress.
But Collins’ greatest achievement was the founding of the Westside Prep School, which she started in 1975. The school provided a safe and nurturing environment where students could thrive academically and socially and therefore it was considered as the “haven for learning”.
At the Prep School. Collin s stressed the importance of discipline and hard work. She expected her students to arrive on time, in uniform, and ready to learn, and she installed in them a sense of responsibility and accountability.
