In 1982, Chuck Feeney, a wealthy businessman, quietly set up a foundation (基金会). His goal was to secretly give away all of his fortunes. Now he has achieved his goal at the age of 89.
Chuck Feeney made his money in the shopping business, building a nest egg of $8 billion over the course of his life. Despite his riches, the Irish- American does not own a car. He rents a small apartment, he flies economy class, and he owns only one pair of shoes.
The elderly businessman told the Guardian that he was very happy with “completing this on my watch”. He called on other super-rich people not to wait until after they have passed away to experience the joy of giving away their fortunes.
In explaining what inspired his generosity the shopping businessman said, “Wealth brings responsibility. People must define themselves or feel a responsibility to use some of their fortunes to improve the lives of their fellow (同类的) humans, or else deal with problems for future generations.”
Feeney has donated $3.7 billion to universities, including close to $1billion to Cornell University alone, where he studied for free under the GI Bill after serving in the Air Force during the Korean War. He has also donated $870 million to various human rights groups, and $1.9 billion to fund various projects in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, where he helped found the University of Limerick.
In addition to the direct financial impact, the businessman’s charitable actions inspired Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to establish the “Giving Pledge(誓言)” for the world’s rich people. Those who take the pledge commit themselves to giving at least half of their fortunes away to charity.

Design is a broad term that means many things to many people. The word came from Italian (disegno) and French (dessin) words that both mean “a drawing”. In many examples, a work of art or a new product starts with exactly a drawing. A creator starts by drawing out what they think the final product should look like. The best designs, though, focus on much more than just appearance. The artistry (艺术效果) of how beautiful a product looks can be very important. Still, success will depend upon how well the product works.
Thinking about a product’s function will help a creator decide which materials to use. It will also help them determine how the function can be reflected in the product’s form. The process calls for as much science as it does art. In fact, some experts believe that the best designs are those that combine science and art. For years, many people have thought that science and art were quite different. However, modern thinkers believe that the two must be combined to keep innovation flowing.
If you think about it, that makes sense. The most beautiful product in the world won’t be useful unless it functions the way it’s supposed to. And the most useful products might be missed unless art plays a role. It can go a long way toward making them attractive to users. You can see this in the world of smartphones. There are many choices in the marketplace with all sorts of different functions. The best smartphones, though, are those that combine those functions with a pleasing form.
Interestingly, this all isn’t really a new idea. Some of history’s most influential figures from the past were both accomplished (才华出众的）artists and scientists. One example is Leonardo da Vinci. His drawings show that he fully understood the unique combination of art and science and how important it was to innovative thinking!
What is the first thing for a creator according to Paragraph 1
A. The product’s appearance. B. The product’s function.
C. How to produce the product. D. How popular the product will be.
29. What does the underlined part “The process” refer to
A. Choosing suitable materials. B. Choosing the form for a product.
C. Drawing out the look of a product. D. Thinking about how a product works.
30. Why does the author mention smartphones in Paragraph 3
A. To show it is hard to choose a good one.
B. To show mobile phones come in many forms.
C. To show people give more importance to forms.
D. To show the look is as important as the function.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Designing has changed a lot B. How design affects our choice
C. Design is both art and science D. How to come up with a good design
D
Along the Pacific Crest Trail (太平洋屋脊步道), hikers who set out to complete the entire 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada are more likely to stop at two points: around mile 100 and mile 1,000. Those who make it past mile 100 are the hikers who develop new habits during the challenge of their new lives: wake up, eat biscuits, pack up their tents, and walk. Wearing sweaty clothes and eating instant noodles for dinner every night become the norm. But hikers who form those useful on-trail habits tend to get bored of them as soon as the novelty (新奇感) and challenge are gone. Then they have the idea of leaving.
“Why did I end my hike with only 250 miles ” a hiker Brett Pallastrini asked in his journal. “I was done with hiking. I was mentally over it.” Whether we are hiking a trail or completing other projects, the feeling of being “over it” can be so strong that we abandon goals that once excited us. Research into our emotional (情感的) experiences around habits can help explain this phenomenon (现象) and keep us on track with our goals.
In one study, University of Southern California psychology and business professor Wendy Wood and her colleagues asked college students to record what they were doing at one-hour intervals for a day or two: studying, exercising, or socializing, for example.
Wood found that when performing habitual behaviors, students reported feeling less strong emotions — and, in particular, less pride. “This was true even when the behaviors had once been enjoyable, like watching TV or hanging out with friends. It was also true for behaviors that were important to achieving long-term goals,” Wood says.
Wood explains this phenomenon the so-called “double law of habits”. “Repetition has multiple (多重的) effects,” she says. “One is to strengthen the memory trace for an action, so that habitual tendencies get stronger. The other is to weaken our emotional response (boredom starts), so that we are no longer getting much pleasure from what we are doing.”
While there is plenty of advice on how to acquire habits to help us meet our goals, there is little research about what to do when those habits get boring. So what do we do in the meantime Université du Québec à Montréal professor Robert Vallerand’s work finds that when we take part in activities that bring us that sense of joy, we tend to work harder and perform better. If you are able to reintroduce joy into the habits you perform on the way to your goal, you may have greater success at reaching it.
What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To introduce tips and tricks for hiking.
B. To describe how to develop good habits.
C. To give an example of “the double law of habits”.
D. To show how hard it is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail.
33. What does the underlined word “abandon” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Keep. B. Carry out. C. Set. D. Give up.
34. What can we learn from Wood’s study
A. Habits can get in the way of our goals.
B. Good habits are hard to form but easy to live with.
C. Sometimes emotional problems might lead to serious results.
D. Forming good habits will help us achieve our long-term goals.
35. What does the author suggest we do in the last paragraph
A. Keep working hard to achieve our goals.
B. Get involved in activities that we enjoy.
C. Change our daily routine and lifestyle.
D. Add fun back into our habits.

根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Feeling worthless means a sense of hopelessness and unimportance. It can be caused by different factors. For example, if you often see negative (负面的) events as your fault (过错), you may be more likely to experience the sense of worthlessness. You might be having trouble dealing with stress. 36 As a result, you may feel worthless.
When feeling worthless, you may feel that nothing you do is right or that none of your efforts will make a difference. 37 Because of this, it is important to feel better by managing your difficult feelings of worthlessness. Here are some ideas that can help.
Speak kindly to yourself. When you notice negative self-talk, look for ways that you can reconsider those thoughts in a more positive or realistic way. Instead of thinking “I will never be able to do it,” for example, you might say, “ 38 ”
Keep a gratitude diary. Don’t fall into the trap of only looking at the ways in which it seems you are lacking. 39 Refocusing your thoughts in this way can help protect you from the negative effects of comparison.
40 Sometimes when you’re feeling worthless, focusing your attention on something other than yourself can help. Research has shown that doing something kind like volunteering for your community or helping someone else in need can have a positive effect on a person’s happiness.
A. Do something for someone else.
B. I can do small things each day to improve.
C. Pay attention to when worthlessness strikes.
D. This can make you think negatively of yourself.
E. As a result, you would refuse to work towards your goals.
F. These negative feelings arise in response to certain situations.
G. Spend a little time each day thinking about the things you’re thankful for.

In a little town, there was a house with a little boy and his parents. The mother and father worked hard to provide for their son Alex, but it meant they had to leave him alone quite often. Luckily, their old neighbor Lisa, who lived alone and didn’t have children, was happy to look after Alex. As he grew up, Alex grew fond of Lisa and they remained friends even into his teenage years.
One day, after coming home from school. Alex sat down to enjoy food and his dad worked in the other room. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. It was Lisa, whose clothes were wet.
“Gran,” Alex called, “what’s wrong ” “The pipe in my kitchen is broken!” she replied worriedly. “There’s water everywhere. I failed to deal with it!” Alex told his father in a hurry, and the three rushed to Lisa’s house. After arrival, they saw water running down the front steps. Then, Alex and his father sent Lisa to dry up and wait in their house while they walked through the flood of water rushing through her house. Finally, they managed to repair everything well enough until a professional could take a look.
The next day, Lisa called someone to conduct a damage assessment (评估), but the news wasn’t great. When Alex visited her again, she shared the bad news: it would cost about $10,000 to fix the ruined house, including the damaged floor and wall. “That’s lots of money. How are you going to pay for it ” Alex asked. Lisa replied helplessly, “I have no idea!”
As Alex walked back home, he made a plan to help Lisa. For a few years, he had been teaching himself magic tricks (魔术), and he could use this to help her. For the next while, Alex spent almost every free second practicing. He wanted to perform at people’s birthday parties and local events to raise money for Lisa.

Design is a broad term that means many things to many people. The word came from Italian (disegno) and French (dessin) words that both mean “a drawing”. In many examples, a work of art or a new product starts with exactly a drawing. A creator starts by drawing out what they think the final product should look like. The best designs, though, focus on much more than just appearance. The artistry (艺术效果) of how beautiful a product looks can be very important. Still, success will depend upon how well the product works.
Thinking about a product’s function will help a creator decide which materials to use. It will also help them determine how the function can be reflected in the product’s form. The process calls for as much science as it does art. In fact, some experts believe that the best designs are those that combine science and art. For years, many people have thought that science and art were quite different. However, modern thinkers believe that the two must be combined to keep innovation flowing.
If you think about it, that makes sense. The most beautiful product in the world won’t be useful unless it functions the way it’s supposed to. And the most useful products might be missed unless art plays a role. It can go a long way toward making them attractive to users. You can see this in the world of smartphones. There are many choices in the marketplace with all sorts of different functions. The best smartphones, though, are those that combine those functions with a pleasing form.
Interestingly, this all isn’t really a new idea. Some of history’s most influential figures from the past were both accomplished (才华出众的）artists and scientists. One example is Leonardo da Vinci. His drawings show that he fully understood the unique combination of art and science and how important it was to innovative thinking!
What is the first thing for a creator according to Paragraph 1
A. The product’s appearance. B. The product’s function.
C. How to produce the product. D. How popular the product will be.
29. What does the underlined part “The process” refer to
A. Choosing suitable materials. B. Choosing the form for a product.
C. Drawing out the look of a product. D. Thinking about how a product works.
30. Why does the author mention smartphones in Paragraph 3
A. To show it is hard to choose a good one.
B. To show mobile phones come in many forms.
C. To show people give more importance to forms.
D. To show the look is as important as the function.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Designing has changed a lot B. How design affects our choice
C. Design is both art and science D. How to come up with a good design

Along the Pacific Crest Trail (太平洋屋脊步道), hikers who set out to complete the entire 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada are more likely to stop at two points: around mile 100 and mile 1,000. Those who make it past mile 100 are the hikers who develop new habits during the challenge of their new lives: wake up, eat biscuits, pack up their tents, and walk. Wearing sweaty clothes and eating instant noodles for dinner every night become the norm. But hikers who form those useful on-trail habits tend to get bored of them as soon as the novelty (新奇感) and challenge are gone. Then they have the idea of leaving.
“Why did I end my hike with only 250 miles ” a hiker Brett Pallastrini asked in his journal. “I was done with hiking. I was mentally over it.” Whether we are hiking a trail or completing other projects, the feeling of being “over it” can be so strong that we abandon goals that once excited us. Research into our emotional (情感的) experiences around habits can help explain this phenomenon (现象) and keep us on track with our goals.
In one study, University of Southern California psychology and business professor Wendy Wood and her colleagues asked college students to record what they were doing at one-hour intervals for a day or two: studying, exercising, or socializing, for example.
Wood found that when performing habitual behaviors, students reported feeling less strong emotions — and, in particular, less pride. “This was true even when the behaviors had once been enjoyable, like watching TV or hanging out with friends. It was also true for behaviors that were important to achieving long-term goals,” Wood says.
Wood explains this phenomenon the so-called “double law of habits”. “Repetition has multiple (多重的) effects,” she says. “One is to strengthen the memory trace for an action, so that habitual tendencies get stronger. The other is to weaken our emotional response (boredom starts), so that we are no longer getting much pleasure from what we are doing.”
While there is plenty of advice on how to acquire habits to help us meet our goals, there is little research about what to do when those habits get boring. So what do we do in the meantime Université du Québec à Montréal professor Robert Vallerand’s work finds that when we take part in activities that bring us that sense of joy, we tend to work harder and perform better. If you are able to reintroduce joy into the habits you perform on the way to your goal, you may have greater success at reaching it.
What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To introduce tips and tricks for hiking.
B. To describe how to develop good habits.
C. To give an example of “the double law of habits”.
D. To show how hard it is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail.
33. What does the underlined word “abandon” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Keep. B. Carry out. C. Set. D. Give up.
34. What can we learn from Wood’s study
A. Habits can get in the way of our goals.
B. Good habits are hard to form but easy to live with.
C. Sometimes emotional problems might lead to serious results.
D. Forming good habits will help us achieve our long-term goals.
35. What does the author suggest we do in the last paragraph
A. Keep working hard to achieve our goals.
B. Get involved in activities that we enjoy.
C. Change our daily routine and lifestyle.
D. Add fun back into our habits.

In a little town, there was a house with a little boy and his parents. The mother and father worked hard to provide for their son Alex, but it meant they had to leave him alone quite often. Luckily, their old neighbor Lisa, who lived alone and didn’t have children, was happy to look after Alex. As he grew up, Alex grew fond of Lisa and they remained friends even into his teenage years.
One day, after coming home from school. Alex sat down to enjoy food and his dad worked in the other room. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. It was Lisa, whose clothes were wet.
“Gran,” Alex called, “what’s wrong ” “The pipe in my kitchen is broken!” she replied worriedly. “There’s water everywhere. I failed to deal with it!” Alex told his father in a hurry, and the three rushed to Lisa’s house. After arrival, they saw water running down the front steps. Then, Alex and his father sent Lisa to dry up and wait in their house while they walked through the flood of water rushing through her house. Finally, they managed to repair everything well enough until a professional could take a look.
The next day, Lisa called someone to conduct a damage assessment (评估), but the news wasn’t great. When Alex visited her again, she shared the bad news: it would cost about $10,000 to fix the ruined house, including the damaged floor and wall. “That’s lots of money. How are you going to pay for it ” Alex asked. Lisa replied helplessly, “I have no idea!”
As Alex walked back home, he made a plan to help Lisa. For a few years, he had been teaching himself magic tricks (魔术), and he could use this to help her. For the next while, Alex spent almost every free second practicing. He wanted to perform at people’s birthday parties and local events to raise money for Lisa. When his skills at performing were good enough, he began booking shows. Soon, he was allowed to perform at someone’s birthday party.
