B
In
spring,
you
may
be
fortunate
enough
to
have
good
weather,
a
small
piece
of
earth
and
the
energy,
enthusiasm
and
inspiration
to
plant
a
garden.
There
is
nothing
better
to
shake
off
the
boredom
and
dullness
of
winter
than
to
dig
in
the
earth,
plant
some
seeds
and
watch
them
grow.
A
small
garden
can
produce
something
extra
fresh
for
dinner,
flowers
for
the
table
and
a
feeling
of
accomplishment.
It
is
work,
but
it
is
ever
so
rewarding.
What
about
your
life
garden?
Just
as
a
beautiful
garden
is
a
work
in
progress,
so
is
the
garden
in
your
mind.
It
takes
effort,
planning,
nurturing
(培育)
and
weeding
to
grow
a
garden.
What
have
you
planted—what
have
you
allowed
to
take
root?
Is
your
life
the
picture
of
a
well
laid
out
garden
or
an
untidy
mixture
of
plants,
trees
and
weeds
whose
seeds
were
blown
your
way
and
took
root?
We
have
all
heard
phrases
like
“sowing
seeds
of
doubt”
or
“sowing
seeds
of
discontent”.
We
can
make
a
careful
choice
whether
to
allow
them
to
take
root
in
our
lives
or
throw
them
out
of
our
garden.
Negative
energy
and
words,
like
weeds,
will
spread
quickly
if
left
unchecked.
Find
a
good
“weed
killer”—a
book,
an
inspirational
story,
positive
affirmations
(肯定)
—to
help
you
get
rid
of
the
thoughts
that
reduce
the
beauty
of
your
garden.
Plant
as
many
seeds
of
joy
and
beauty
as
you
can
—
in
your
own
life
and
in
the
lives
of
the
people
with
whom
you
live
and
work
every
day.
Grow
a
gratitude
garden,
a
peace
garden
and
a
dream
garden.
Look
after
them
daily.
If
you
give
them
time
and
energy,
you
will
have
a
rich
harvest
of
success,
happiness
and
peace
of
mind.

The
United
States
is
offering
to
pay
private
companies
to
mine
rocks
and
other
resources
on
the
moon.
The
U.S.
space
agency
NASA
published
an
official
government
listing
for
the
mining
proposal
on
September
10.
NASA
officials
are
asking
interested
companies
to
collect
rocks,
soil
and
other
objects
from
the
surface
of
the
moon.
The
lunar
materials
would
then
be
sold
to
the
space
agency.
NASA
administrator
Jim
Bridenstine
says
the
project
was
created
“for
the
purpose
of
demonstrating
that
mined
resources
can
be
collected”.
The
proposals
would
not
involve
private
companies
sending
workers
to
the
moon.
Instead,
NASA
wants
the
businesses
to
provide
robots
to
be
launched
into
space
by
the
space
agency
or
private
companies.
NASA
has
asked
companies
from
around
the
world
to
present
proposals
to
collect
50
to
500
grams
of
lunar
materials
from
anywhere
on
the
moon’s
surface.
The
companies
will
be
required
to
provide
images
showing
how
the
material
is
collected.
In
a
statement
published
on
a
NASA
website,
Bridenstine
said
the
agency’s
goal
was
to
gain
control
of
the
collected
materials
before
2024.
He
added
that
officials
would
decide
later
how
and
when
the
materials
could
be
transported
from
the
moon.
Bridenstine
repeated
NASA’s
goal
of
landing
the
first
woman
and
next
man
on
the
moon
by
2024
as
part
of
the
space
agency’s
Artemis
program.
NASA
also
has
set
a
goal
of
setting
up
a
long-term
base
on
the
moon
by
2028.
From
there,
it
hopes
to
launch
a
series
of
space
operations,
including
possible
flights
to
Mars.
Last
May,
NASA
released
the
main
ideas
for
what
is
being
called
the
Artemis
Accords.
It
hopes
the
ideas
can
lead
to
an
international
agreement
on
how
people
will
live
and
work
on
the
moon
in
the
future.
Such
an
agreement
could
give
companies
rights
to
own
the
moon
resources
they
mine.
For
example,
businesses
doing
work
for
NASA
could
use
the
moon’s
water
ice
to
produce
rocket
fuel,
or
mine
lunar
minerals
for
other
purposes.
“NASA’s
plan
to
send
robots
to
mine
resources
is
meant
to
fuel
a
new
era
of
exploration
and
discovery,”
Bridenstine
said.
8.
Why
are
NASA
officials
asking
interested
companies
to
collect
lunar
materials?
A.
To
buy
rocks
and
other
resources
on
the
moon.
B.
To
see
how
the
resources

the

C.
To
encourage
more
companies
to
explore
the
moon.
D.
To
show
mined
resources
on
the
moon
can
be
collected.
9.
What
can
we
know
about
the
requirements
for
collecting
lunar
materials?
A.
The
materials
should
be
collected
by
workers
rather
than
robots.
B.
The
companies
should
collect
at
least
500
grams
of
the
materials.
C.
The
companies
should
provide
evidence
to
show
the
process
of
collecting.
D.
The
materials
should
be
collected
from
specific
areas
on
the
moon’s
surface.

A.
NASA’s

the
Artemis
Accords?
A.

will
get
huge
profits
from
the
agreement.

water
ice
to

fuel,
or
mine
lunar
minerals
for
other
purposes.”（这样的协议可以赋予公司拥有他们开采月球资源的权利。例如，为美国国家航空航天局工作的企业可以利用月球上的水冰来生产火箭燃料，或为其他目的开采月球矿物。）可知，这项协议使他们开采月球资源。故选C。
D
For
those
who
think
that
wealth
can
come
without
love,
you
should
reconsider
your
position.
To
get
wealth,
if
you
believe
what
you
see
in
movies,
seems
to
mean
that
you
have
to
give
up
love
because:
how
can
people
get
wealth
if
they
are
afraid
to
roll
over
others
who
stand
in
their
way?
I
would
disagree
with
this
view
because
I’ve
seen
a
bad
example.
Several
years
ago,
I
knew
a
man
who
lost
not
only
his
wealth
but
also
his
respect,
and
at
last
was
put
into
prison
for
deceiving
(欺骗)
his
customers
to
make
money.
He
was
a
man
who
pretended
to
care
for
the
well-being
of
his
customers
who
gave
him
their
trust.
He
had
been
a
man
with
good
fame
for
many
years,
often
admired
and
talked
about
as
a
true
model
of
a
caring
business
person.
However,
all
he
saw
was
the
opportunity
to
deceive
and
make
money.
But
I
have
also
seen
the
opposite.
Some
people
have
got
great
wealth
too
because
they
first
feel
love
towards
others
and
start
businesses
that
help
meet
other
people’s
growth
needs.
For
example,
people
like
Dale
Carnegie,
Anthony
Robbins
and
other
famous
people
who
devoted
their
talents
and
lives
to
helping
other
people
move
forward.
And
there
is
also
another
kind
of
wealth.
Some
people
love
others
and
their
point
of
view
is
to
help
others.
These
people
will
get
wealth
that
is
not
measured
in
dollars
and
cents.
Instead,
it
is
measured
in
caring,
kindness,
and
the
appreciation
and
admiration
of
others
who
they
meet
and
deal
with
in
their
everyday
life.
They
are
quiet
millionaires
of
life;
millionaires
with
wealth
that
is
not
affected
by
the
ups
and
downs
of
the
stock
market
or
the
cost
of
daily
necessities.

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Several
years
ago,
I
knew
a
man
who
lost
not
only
his
wealth
but
also
his
respect,
and
at
last
was
put
into
prison
for
deceiving
(欺骗)
his
customers
to
make
money.”（几年前，我认识一个人，他不仅失去了他的财富，也失去了他的尊重，最后因为欺骗顾客赚钱而锒铛入狱。）和“However,
all
he
saw
was
the
opportunity
to
deceive
and
make
money.”（然而，他看到的只是欺骗和赚钱的机会。）可推知，他最终失败的原因是他以错误的方式赚钱。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“but”可知，此处提到的内容和上文相反，结合下文“Some
people
have
got
great
wealth
too,
because
they
first
feel
love
towards
others
and
start
businesses
that
help
meet
other
people’s
growth
needs.”（有些人也获得了巨大的财富，因为他们首先感受到对他人的爱，然后开始创业，帮助满足他人的成长需求。）可知，“the
opposite”指的是“通过帮助别人获得财富”。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“And
there
is
also
another
kind
of
wealth.
Some
people
love
others
and
their
point
of
view
is
to
help
others.
These
people
will
get
wealth
that
is
not
measured
in
dollars
and
cents.”（还有另一种财富。有些人爱别人，他们的观点是帮助别人。这些人将得到的财富不是用美元和美分来衡量的。）可知，如果你爱别人，帮助别人，你将得到另一种财富。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段内容“For
those
who
think
that
wealth
can
come
without
love,
you
should
reconsider
your
position.”（对于那些认为没有爱也能获得财富的人，你应该重新考虑一下自己的立场。）可知，文章主要讨论了人们应该选择得到什么样的财富。C项：What
kind
of
wealth
would
you
rather
get?（你宁愿得到什么样的财富？）符合题意。故选C。

Bad
News
for
the
Highly
Intelligent
There
are
advantages
to
being
smart.
People
who
do
well
on
IQ
tests
tend
to
be
more
successful
in
the
classroom
and
the
workplace.
They
also
tend
to
live
longer,
healthier
lives,
and
are
less
likely
to
experience
negative
life
events.
____16____
In
a
study,
Ruth
Karpinski
and
her
colleagues
carried
out
a
study
on
the
members
of
Mensa,
a
high
IQ
society.
The
study
covered
mood
disorders
and
anxiety
disorders.
Respondents
were
asked
to
report
whether
they
had
ever
suffered
from
each
disorder.
The
researchers
compared
the
percentage
of
those
who
reported
disorder
to
the
national
average
and
found
that
Mensa’s
highly
intelligent
members
were
more
likely
to
suffer
from
a
range
of
serious
disorders.
To
explain
their
findings,
Karpinski
and
his
team
bring
up
the
hyper
brain
and
hyper
body
theory.
This
theory
holds
that,
for
all
of
its
advantages,
being
highly
intelligent
is
associated
with
psychological
and
physiological
“overexcitabilities”,
or
OE.
___17___This
can
include
anything
from
an
astonishing
sound
to
conflict
with
another
person.
According
to
the
theory,
OEs
are
more
common
in
highly
intelligent
people.
A
highly
intelligent
person
may
overanalyze
a
disapproving
comment
made
by
a
boss,
imagining
negative
outcomes
that
simply
wouldn’t
occur
to
someone
less
intelligent.
___18___
The
results
of
this
study
must
be
interpreted
(诠释)
cautiously.
Showing
that
a
disorder
is
more
common
in
a
sample
of
people
with
high
IQs
than
in
the
general
population
doesn’t
prove
that
high
intelligence
is
the
cause
of
the
disorder.
___19___All
the
same,
the
findings
set
the
stage
for
research
that
promises
to
cast
new
light
on
the
link
between
intelligence
and
health.
One
possibility
is
that
associations
between
intelligence
and
health
outcomes
reflect
pleiotropy
(基因多效性),
which
occurs
when
a
gene
influences
seemingly
unrelated
characteristics.
___20___
In
a
2015
study,
Rosalind
Arden
and
her
colleagues
concluded
that
the
association
between
IQ
and
living
longer
is
mostly
explained
by
genetic
factors.
From
a
practical
standpoint,
this
research
may
lead
to
insights
about
how
to
improve
people’s
psychological
and
physical
well-being.
A.
Now
there’s
some
bad
news
for
those
smart
people.
B.
There
is
already
some
evidence
to
suggest
that
this
is
the
case.
C.
It
is
an
unusually
strong
reaction
to
an
environmental
threat
or
abuse.
D.
Scientists
did
many
researches
to
understand
the
reasons
behind
the
advantages.
E.
That
may
cause
the
body’s
stress
response,
which
may
make
the
person
even
more
anxious.
F.
It’s
also
possible
that
people
who
join
Mensa
differ
from
other
people
in
ways
other
than
just
IQ.
G.
They
found
that
the
differences
between
the
respondents
were
seen
for
mood
and
anxiety
disorders.

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了高智商也会经历负面事件，甚至更容易有精神障碍。
【16题详解】
根据上文“There
are
advantages
to
being
smart.(聪明是有好处的)”与下文“The
researchers
compared
the
percentage
of
those
who
reported
disorder
to
the
national
average
and
found
that
Mensa’s
highly
intelligent
members
were
more
likely
to
suffer
from
a
range
of
serious
disorders.(研究人员对比了那些报告失调的人与全国平均水平的比例，发现门萨的高智商成员更有可能患有一系列严重的失调)”形成正反对比，上文讲述积极意义对高智商者有利，而下文的消极影响对于高智商者则是坏消息。所以A
选项Now
there’s
some
bad
news
for
those
smart
people.(现在有些坏消息要告诉那些聪明人)符合上下语境。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据下文“This
can
include
anything
from
an
astonishing
sound
to
conflict
with
another
person.(这可能包括任何事情，从惊人的声音到与他人发生冲突)”可知，本句应与an
astonishing
sound和conflict
with
another
person有关。据此，C选项It
is
an
unusually
strong
reaction
to
an
environmental
threat
or
abuse.(这是对环境威胁或虐待的异常强烈的反应)分别与an
astonishing
sound、conflict
with
another
person相一致。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据上文“A
highly
intelligent
person
may
overanalyze
a
disapproving
comment
made
by
a
boss,
imagining
negative
outcomes
that
simply
wouldn’t
occur
to
someone
less
intelligent.(一个高智商的人可能会过度分析老板不赞成的评论，想象出一些不那么聪明的人不会想到的负面结果)”和“This
can
include
anything
from
an
astonishing
sound
to
conflict
with
another
person.(这可能包括任何事情，从惊人的声音到与他人发生冲突)”可知，太多的负面结果会使人焦虑，且高智商人可能会与老板发生矛盾，因此更容易焦虑。E选项That
may
cause
the
body’s
stress
response,
which
may
make
the
person
even
more
anxious.(这可能会引起身体的应激反应，从而使人更加焦虑)与文意相符。故选E。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Showing
that
a
disorder
is
more
common
in
a
sample
of
people
with
high
IQs
than
in
the
general
population
doesn’t
prove
that
high
intelligence
is
the
cause
of
the
disorder.(研究表明，智商高的人比普通人更容易患精神障碍，这并不能证明高智商是导致精神障碍的原因)”可知，高智商人更容易患精神障碍的原因可能不是高智商，而是其他原因。F选项It’s
also
possible
that
people
who
join
Mensa
differ
from
other
people
in
ways
other
than
just
IQ.(也有可能加入门萨的人除了智商之外还有其他不同之处)符合文意。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“One
possibility
is
that
associations
between
intelligence
and
health
outcomes
reflect
pleiotropy
,
which
occurs
when
a
gene
influences
seemingly
unrelated
characteristics.(一种可能性是，智力和健康结果之间的关联反映了多效性，当一个基因影响看似不相关的基因时就会发生这种多效性特征)”和下文“In
a
2015
study,
Rosalind
Arden
and
her
colleagues
concluded
that
the
association
between
IQ
and
living
longer
is
mostly
explained
by
genetic
factors.(在罗莎琳德·阿登和她的同事们在2015年的一项研究中得出结论，智商与长寿之间的关联是不确定的主要是遗传因素造成的)”可知，上文讲的是一种结论，而后文则是一项实际研究的结果。B选项There
is
already
some
evidence
to
suggest
that
this
is
the
case.(已经有一些证据表明这是事实)符合上下语境。故选B。

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家关于人类味觉的新研究成果：有的人有“苦味基因”，有的人没有，这些人对食物的感觉不尽相同。现代人通过多种方法使蔬菜食物变得更为可口。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：相反，你可能是一个“味觉超常者”，一个带有苦味基因的人。根据句意可知，此处需填介词“带有，具有”，with意为“带有，具有”。故填with。
【37题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：在美国心脏协会年会上提出的一项新研究表明，那些拥有“苦味基因”的人比其他人更有可能少吃蔬菜。空后有提示词than，此处需填形容词比较级，作定语修饰名词vegetables。故填fewer。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在美国心脏协会年会上提出的一项新研究表明，那些拥有“苦味基因”的人比其他人更有可能少吃蔬菜。分析句子结构，已有谓语动词are，空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语，study和present为动宾关系，需填过去分词。故填presented。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：这解释了我们在食物偏好上的一些差异。此处陈述客观事实，需用一般现在时，主语为it，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填explains。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：这解释了我们在食物偏好上的一些差异。our为形容词性物主代词，后面需加名词作宾语。故填preference。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：另外25%的人被称为“非品尝者”，对他们来说，苦的食物可能会更甜一点。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是non-tasters，指人，在定语从句中作介词to的宾语，需用关系代词whom引导。故填whom。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：我们其余的人对一些植物为了防止动物吃掉而产生的苦味极为敏感。空处修饰形容词sensitive，需填副词作状语。故填extremely。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：我们其余的人对一些植物为了防止动物吃掉而产生的苦味极为敏感。plant是可数名词，some修饰可数名词复数。故填plants。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：食品科学家们正在努力开发减少蔬菜苦味的方法，希望他们能让超级味觉者不再排斥蔬菜。分析句子结构，已有谓语动词are
trying，空处需填非谓语动词。修饰名词ways，需用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to
reduce。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：我们也可以尝试使用不同的烹饪方法，通过添加一些脂肪，甜味，强烈的味道，如大蒜，或通过烘烤，以改善蔬菜的味道。either…or…为固定短语，表示roasting…和adding…两者选一的选择关系。故填or。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数为150左右。
I
was
a
mother
of
four
children,
working
at
a
low-paid
job.
Money
was
always
valuable,
but
we
had
a
roof
over
our
heads,
food
on
the
table,
and
clothes
in
the
wardrobe.
I
always
tell
myself
to
be
brave
and
strong.
I
hope
all
my
efforts
would
be
worthwhile,
as
long
as
my
children
can
grow
up
healthily.
It
was
Christmas
time.
We
drove
downtown
to
see
the
Christmas
lights,
and
enjoyed
a
special
dinner,
but
the
big
excitement
for
the
kids
was
the
fun
of
Christmas
shopping
at
the
mall.
This
was
a
tradition
of
my
family,
so
they
all
looked
forward
to
the
coming
of
the
season
of
goodwill.
They
talked
and
planned
for
weeks
ahead
of
time,
asking
each
other
what
they
wanted
for
Christmas.
The
big
day
arrived
and
we
started
out
early.
I
gave
each
of
the
four
kids
a
twenty
-dollar
bill
and
asked
them
to
search
for
gifts.
Then
everyone
scattered（分散开）with
the
bill.
I
sat
at
a
table
in
a
café
waiting
for
my
children
and
enjoying
an
instant
of
silence.
It
must
be
a
happy
day.
Back
in
the
car
driving
home,
everyone
was
excited
about
Christmas,
laughing
and
asking
each
other
about
what
they
had
bought.
I
noted
Ginger,
my
younger
daughter
had
only
one
small
and
flat
bag
with
her.
I
could
see
enough
through
the
plastic
bag
to
tell
that
she
had
bought
candy
bars—fifty-cent
candy
bars!
What
did
she
do
with
that
twenty-dollar
bill
I
had
given
her?
I
was
so
angry.
After
getting
home,
I
called
her
into
my
bedroom
and
closed
the
door.
I
couldn't
hold
back
my
anger
and
shouted
at
her,
"What
about
the
rest
of
the
money?
No
one
would
be
convinced
all
these
candies
are
worth
20
dollars.
What
do
you
want
to
do
with
the
rest
of
the
money?"
Paragraph
1:
She
was
shocked
at
my
reaction
and
burst
into
tears.

Paragraph
2:
My
anger
disappeared.

【答案】Paragraph
1:
She
was
shocked
at
my
reaction
and
burst
into
tears.
She
explained
to
me
what
had
happened.
“I
was
looking
around,
wondering
what
to
buy,
when
I
found
the
‘Giving
Trees’
with
many
lovely
little
cards
on
it.
Out
of
curiosity,I
stopped
and
read
one
of
them.
It
was
for
a
four-year-old
girl.
All
she
wanted
for
Christmas
was
a
doll.
Although
I
had
only
15
dollars
left,
I
thought
of
the
poor
girl.
I
had
bought
sweets
for
my
Christmas.
Mom,
we
had
so
much
but
she
didn't
have
anything.
So
I
took
the
card
off
the
tree
and
bought
the
doll
for
her.
”
Paragraph
2:
My
anger
disappeared.
I
smiled
at
them
and
felt
a
great
relief.
I
never
felt
so
rich
as
I
did
that
day.
My
efforts
paid
off
.
Yes,
we
were
li
ving
a
poor
life.
However，my
children
had
learned
to
care
about
others.
They
had
known
the
significance
of
kindness
and
giving.
That
was
what
I
had
for
my
Christmas.
【解析】
【分析】
本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者是四个孩子的母亲，生活拮据。但作者觉得只要孩子能健康成长，她的一切努力都是值得的。圣诞节到了，作者给了四个孩子每人一张20美元的钞票，让他们去买喜欢的礼物。回来时，作者发现小女儿Ginger用20美元只买了50美分的棒棒糖。作者很生气，质问她拿剩下的钱都做了什么。
【详解】续写部分分为两段。
第1段开头是：她被我的反应震惊了，哭了起来。接下来应该写Ginger向作者解释发生的事情。Ginger在买圣诞礼物时看到了“赠予树”，上面有很多小卡片。她阅读了其中的一张，是来自一个4岁的小女孩的。她想要一个洋娃娃作为圣诞礼物。于是Ginger从树上摘下卡片，给那个小女孩买了一个洋娃娃。
第2段开头是：我的怒气没有了。下面应该写作者的感受。作者感到非常欣慰，觉得自己从来没有像那天那样富有。虽然他们一家过着贫困的生活，但是孩子们学会了关爱别人，知道善良和给予的意义。
续写前需要仔细阅读文章，熟悉文章故事的发展，然后根据故事发展脉络，展开合理的想象，按要求完成任务。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，重点突出，同时表达时也使用了很多高级词汇，如explain…
to
sb.；look
around；out
of
curiosity；think
of；buy
sth.
for
sb.；smile
at；feel
a
great
relief；pay
off；live
a
poor
life；care
about；the
significance
of；kindness
等；还运用了复杂的句式，如“be
doing…
when”句型的运用I
was
looking
around…when
I
found
the
‘Giving
Trees’；
although引导的让步状语从句的运用
Although
I
had
only
15
dollars
left,
I
thought
of
the
poor
girl；what引导的表语从句的运用That
was
what
I
had
for
my
Christmas等。永安一中

In
spring,
you
may
be
fortunate
enough
to
have
good
weather,
a
small
piece
of
earth
and
the
energy,
enthusiasm
and
inspiration
to
plant
a
garden.
There
is
nothing
better
to
shake
off
the
boredom
and
dullness
of
winter
than
to
dig
in
the
earth,
plant
some
seeds
and
watch
them
grow.
A
small
garden
can
produce
something
extra
fresh
for
dinner,
flowers
for
the
table
and
a
feeling
of
accomplishment.
It
is
work,
but
it
is
ever
so
rewarding.
What
about
your
life
garden?
Just
as
a
beautiful
garden
is
a
work
in
progress,
so
is
the
garden
in
your
mind.
It
takes
effort,
planning,
nurturing
(培育)
and
weeding
to
grow
a
garden.
What
have
you
planted—what
have
you
allowed
to
take
root?
Is
your
life
the
picture
of
a
well
laid
out
garden
or
an
untidy
mixture
of
plants,
trees
and
weeds
whose
seeds
were
blown
your
way
and
took
root?
We
have
all
heard
phrases
like
“sowing
seeds
of
doubt”
or
“sowing
seeds
of
discontent”.
We
can
make
a
careful
choice
whether
to
allow
them
to
take
root
in
our
lives
or
throw
them
out
of
our
garden.
Negative
energy
and
words,
like
weeds,
will
spread
quickly
if
left
unchecked.
Find
a
good
“weed
killer”—a
book,
an
inspirational
story,
positive
affirmations
(肯定)
—to
help
you
get
rid
of
the
thoughts
that
reduce
the
beauty
of
your
garden.
Plant
as
many
seeds
of
joy
and
beauty
as
you
can
—
in
your
own
life
and
in
the
lives
of
the
people
with
whom
you
live
and
work
every
day.
Grow
a
gratitude
garden,
a
peace
garden
and
a
dream
garden.
Look
after
them
daily.
If
you
give
them
time
and
energy,
you
will
have
a
rich
harvest
of
success,
happiness
and
peace
of
mind.

The
United
States
is
offering
to
pay
private
companies
to
mine
rocks
and
other
resources
on
the
moon.
The
U.S.
space
agency
NASA
published
an
official
government
listing
for
the
mining
proposal
on
September
10.
NASA
officials
are
asking
interested
companies
to
collect
rocks,
soil
and
other
objects
from
the
surface
of
the
moon.
The
lunar
materials
would
then
be
sold
to
the
space
agency.
NASA
administrator
Jim
Bridenstine
says
the
project
was
created
“for
the
purpose
of
demonstrating
that
mined
resources
can
be
collected”.
The
proposals
would
not
involve
private
companies
sending
workers
to
the
moon.
Instead,
NASA
wants
the
businesses
to
provide
robots
to
be
launched
into
space
by
the
space
agency
or
private
companies.
NASA
has
asked
companies
from
around
the
world
to
present
proposals
to
collect
50
to
500
grams
of
lunar
materials
from
anywhere
on
the
moon’s
surface.
The
companies
will
be
required
to
provide
images
showing
how
the
material
is
collected.
In
a
statement
published
on
a
NASA
website,
Bridenstine
said
the
agency’s
goal
was
to
gain
control
of
the
collected
materials
before
2024.
He
added
that
officials
would
decide
later
how
and
when
the
materials
could
be
transported
from
the
moon.
Bridenstine
repeated
NASA’s
goal
of
landing
the
first
woman
and
next
man
on
the
moon
by
2024
as
part
of
the
space
agency’s
Artemis
program.
NASA
also
has
set
a
goal
of
setting
up
a
long-term
base
on
the
moon
by
2028.
From
there,
it
hopes
to
launch
a
series
of
space
operations,
including
possible
flights
to
Mars.
Last
May,
NASA
released
the
main
ideas
for
what
is
being
called
the
Artemis
Accords.
It
hopes
the
ideas
can
lead
to
an
international
agreement
on
how
people
will
live
and
work
on
the
moon
in
the
future.
Such
an
agreement
could
give
companies
rights
to
own
the
moon
resources
they
mine.
For
example,
businesses
doing
work
for
NASA
could
use
the
moon’s
water
ice
to
produce
rocket
fuel,
or
mine
lunar
minerals
for
other
purposes.
“NASA’s
plan
to
send
robots
to
mine
resources
is
meant
to
fuel
a
new
era
of
exploration
and
discovery,”
Bridenstine
said.
8.
Why
are
NASA
officials
asking
interested
companies
to
collect
lunar
materials?
A.
To
buy
rocks
and
other
resources
on
the
moon.
B.
To
see
how
the
resources
on
the
moon
are
mined.
C
To
encourage
more
companies
to
explore
the
moon.
D.
To
show
mined
resources
on
the
moon
can
be
collected.
9.
What
can
we
know
about
the
requirements
for
collecting
lunar
materials?
A.
The
materials
should
be
collected
by
workers
rather
than
robots.
B.
The
companies
should
collect
at
least
500
grams
of
the
materials.
C.
The
companies
should
provide
evidence
to
show
the
process
of
collecting.
D.
The
materials
should
be
collected
from
specific
areas
on
the
moon’s
surface.
10.
What
is

mainly
about?
A.
NASA’s
moon

B.
NASA’s
moon
project.
C.
NASA’s

flights
to
Mars.
11.
How
can
private
companies
benefit
from
the
Artemis
Accords?
A.
They
will
get
huge
profits
from
the
agreement.

allows
them
to
become
international
companies.

them
to
have
access
to
their
mined
resources.

They
will
have
the
privilege

and
working
on
the
moon.
D
For
those
who
think
that
wealth
can
come
without
love,
you
should
reconsider
your
position.
To
get
wealth,
if
you
believe
what
you
see
in
movies,
seems
to
mean
that
you
have
to
give
up
love
because:
how
can
people
get
wealth
if
they
are
afraid
to
roll
over
others
who
stand
in
their
way?
I
would
disagree
with
this
view
because
I’ve
seen
a
bad
example.
Several
years
ago,
I
knew
a
man
who
lost
not
only
his
wealth
but
also
his
respect,
and
at
last
was
put
into
prison
for
deceiving
(欺骗)
his
customers
to
make
money.
He
was
a
man
who
pretended
to
care
for
the
well-being
of
his
customers
who
gave
him
their
trust.
He
had
been
a
man
with
good
fame
for
many
years,
often
admired
and
talked
about
as
a
true
model
of
a
caring
business
person.
However,
all
he
saw
was
the
opportunity
to
deceive
and
make
money.
But
I
have
also
seen
the
opposite.
Some
people
have
got
great
wealth
too,
because
they
first
feel
love
towards
others
and
start
businesses
that
help
meet
other
people’s
growth
needs.
For
example,
people
like
Dale
Carnegie,
Anthony
Robbins
and
other
famous
people
who
devoted
their
talents
and
lives
to
helping
other
people
move
forward.
And
there
is
also
another
kind
of
wealth.
Some
people
love
others
and
their
point
of
view
is
to
help
others.
These
people
will
get
wealth
that
is
not
measured
in
dollars
and
cents.
Instead,
it
is
measured
in
caring,
kindness,
and
the
appreciation
and
admiration
of
others
who
they
meet
and
deal
with
in
their
everyday
life.
They
are
quiet
millionaires
of
life;
millionaires
with
wealth
that
is
not
affected
by
the
ups
and
downs
of
the
stock
market
or
the
cost
of
daily
necessities.

Bad
News
for
the
Highly
Intelligent
There
are
advantages
to
being
smart.
People
who
do
well
on
IQ
tests
tend
to
be
more
successful
in
the
classroom
and
the
workplace.
They
also
tend
to
live
longer,
healthier
lives,
and
are
less
likely
to
experience
negative
life
events.
____16____
In
a
study,
Ruth
Karpinski
and
her
colleagues
carried
out
a
study
on
the
members
of
Mensa,
a
high
IQ
society.
The
study
covered
mood
disorders
and
anxiety
disorders.
Respondents
were
asked
to
report
whether
they
had
ever
suffered
from
each
disorder.
The
researchers
compared
the
percentage
of
those
who
reported
disorder
to
the
national
average
and
found
that
Mensa’s
highly
intelligent
members
were
more
likely
to
suffer
from
a
range
of
serious
disorders.
To
explain
their
findings,
Karpinski
and
his
team
bring
up
the
hyper
brain
and
hyper
body
theory.
This
theory
holds
that,
for
all
of
its
advantages,
being
highly
intelligent
is
associated
with
psychological
and
physiological
“overexcitabilities”,
or
OE.
___17___This
can
include
anything
from
an
astonishing
sound
to
conflict
with
another
person.
According
to
the
theory,
OEs
are
more
common
in
highly
intelligent
people.
A
highly
intelligent
person
may
overanalyze
a
disapproving
comment
made
by
a
boss,
imagining
negative
outcomes
that
simply
wouldn’t
occur
to
someone
less
intelligent.
___18___
The
results
of
this
study
must
be
interpreted
(诠释)
cautiously.
Showing
that
a
disorder
is
more
common
in
a
sample
of
people
with
high
IQs
than
in
the
general
population
doesn’t
prove
that
high
intelligence
is
the
cause
of
the
disorder.
___19___All
the
same,
the
findings
set
the
stage
for
research
that
promises
to
cast
new
light
on
the
link
between
intelligence
and
health.
One
possibility
is
that
associations
between
intelligence
and
health
outcomes
reflect
pleiotropy
(基因多效性),
which
occurs
when
a
gene
influences
seemingly
unrelated
characteristics.
___20___
In
a
2015
study,
Rosalind
Arden
and
her
colleagues
concluded
that
the
association
between
IQ
and
living
longer
is
mostly
explained
by
genetic
factors.
From
a
practical
standpoint,
this
research
may
lead
to
insights
about
how
to
improve
people’s
psychological
and
physical
well-being.
A.
Now
there’s
some
bad
news
for
those
smart
people.
B.
There
is
already
some
evidence
to
suggest
that
this
is
the
case.
C
It
is
an
unusually
strong
reaction
to
an
environmental
threat
or
abuse.
D.
Scientists
did
many
researches
to
understand
the
reasons
behind
the
advantages.
E.
That
may
cause
the
body’s
stress
response,
which
may
make
the
person
even
more
anxious.
F.
It’s
also
possible
that
people
who
join
Mensa
differ
from
other
people
in
ways
other
than
just
IQ.
G.
They
found
that
the
differences
between
the
respondents
were
seen
for
mood
and
anxiety
disorders.

When
it
comes

many
of
us
plan
out
every
last
detail
so
that
we
feel
ready

success.
But
sometimes,
this
excessive
planning
is
a

I
was
a
mother
of
four
children,
working
at
a
low-paid
job.
Money
was
always
valuable,
but
we
had
a
roof
over
our
heads,
food
on
the
table,
and
clothes
in
the
wardrobe.
I
always
tell
myself
to
be
brave
and
strong.
I
hope
all
my
efforts
would
be
worthwhile,
as
long
as
my
children
can
grow
up
healthily.
It
was
Christmas
time.
We
drove
downtown
to
see
the
Christmas
lights,
and
enjoyed
a
special
dinner,
but
the
big
excitement
for
the
kids
was
the
fun
of
Christmas
shopping
at
the
mall.
This
was
a
tradition
of
my
family,
so
they
all
looked
forward
to
the
coming
of
the
season
of
goodwill.
They
talked
and
planned
for
weeks
ahead
of
time,
asking
each
other
what
they
wanted
for
Christmas.
The
big
day
arrived
and
we
started
out
early.
I
gave
each
of
the
four
kids
a
twenty
-dollar
bill
and
asked
them
to
search
for
gifts.
Then
everyone
scattered（分散开）with
the
bill.
I
sat
at
a
table
in
a
café
waiting
for
my
children
and
enjoying
an
instant
of
silence.
It
must
be
a
happy
day.
Back
in
the
car
driving
home,
everyone
was
excited
about
Christmas,
laughing
and
asking
each
other
about
what
they
had
bought.
I
noted
Ginger,
my
younger
daughter
had
only
one
small
and
flat
bag
with
her.
I
could
see
enough
through
the
plastic
bag
to
tell
that
she
had
bought
candy
bars—fifty-cent
candy
bars!
What
did
she
do
with
that
twenty-dollar
bill
I
had
given
her?
I
was
so
angry.
After
getting
home,
I
called
her
into
my
bedroom
and
closed
the
door.
I
couldn't
hold
back
my
anger
and
shouted
at
her,
"What
about
the
rest
of
the
money?
No
one
would
be
convinced
all
these
candies
are
worth
20
dollars.
What
do
you
want
to
do
with
the
rest
of
the
money?"
Paragraph
1:
She
was
shocked
at
my
reaction
and
burst
into
tears.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph
2:
My
anger
disappeared.
