For years I have had no idea what I have been doing with my life. I was a 30-year-old lawyer in New York. But being a lawyer was never my dream or goal in life. I honestly wanted to be a writer. I have a great imagination and would write amazing stories in my head. But I always knew that being a writer was never possible for me because it was a better financial decision to stay a lawyer.
Recently, I couldn’t fall asleep at my usual time of 10 p. m. and when I did fall asleep I had the same dream over and over again. The dream starts with me in the ocean trying to go for a swim and I’m searching for something, but I start to drown and have no control over my body. Then a light shines through the waters and when I look up all I can see is myself in a bright white room writing a novel. Then I hear a voice say repeatedly, “Now is the time to try something new!”
It wasn’t just a dream; it was my opportunity to make something good out of my life. That afternoon, I quit my job at the law firm and I couldn’t have been any happier. My life started at 30, and every day since that point I haven’t stopped enjoying life. I started to write and have been on the best-sellers list for the last two months. Things have definitely turned around.
Change is a good thing; it gives us an opportunity to take a chance. So my two favorite words I live by and so should you are “change and chance”.
24. From the first paragraph, we can know that ________.
A. the author is now 30 years old
B. It is impossible for the author to become a writer
C. a lawyer can be likely to earn more than a writer
D. the author prefers to be a lawyer rather than a writer
25. The second paragraph mainly talks about the author’s ________.
A. difficulty in sleeping at night. B. strong desire to become a writer
C. wish to have a swim in the waters D. terrible swimming experience in the ocean.
26. The underlined part in the 3rd paragraph probably means the author ________.
A. regretted having quitted his job as a lawyer
B. was unhappy after giving up his job as a lawyer
C. was upset because he had to give up his job as a lawyer
D. was pretty happy when he quitted his job as a lawyer
27. The best title of the text might be _________.
A. Lawyer or Writer B. Change and Chance
C. Change and Regret D. Risk or Opportunity
C
As free as they make us, mobile phones still need to stay close to a power source. Soon that may change with "green" power.
Three Chilean students got the idea for a plant-powered device(裝置) to charge their cellphones, while sitting in their school's outdoor courtyard during a break from exams, with dead mobile phones. Then, one of them had an "aha" moment.
“It occurred to Camila to say about plants,” said inventor Evelyn Aravena, “‘Why don't you have a socket, if there are so many plants? ’After that, we thought, ‘why don't they have a charging outlet? Because there are so many plants and living things that have the potential to produce energy, why not?’”
Their invention—a small biological circuit called E-Kaia—uses the energy plants to produce during photosynthesis(光合作用). A plant uses only a small part of that energy and the rest goes into the soil, and that's where the E-Kaia collects it. The device plugs into the ground and then into your phone.
"It's the most amazing project I've ever seen in my life, plain and simple. They brought this original model, and it worked — and that's when it all changed, at least from my personal point of view and I began to support them." said Mauricio Cifuentes.
The device solved two problems for the engineering students — they needed an idea for a class project, and an outlet to plug in their phones.
"Looking for a place to charge the notebook, which had no power, and the mobile phones, we weren't able to find anything because all the other students were in the same state of madness trying to find a place to charge their devices," said Aravena.
But plants are everywhere, and the bio-circuit makes the best of their excess(過(guò)多的) power.
The E-Kaia doesn't carry much charge but it's powerful enough to completely recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours.
The student inventors have applied for patents on their technology, and expect the E-Kaia to go on sale soon.
28. How could the students get the "green" power idea?
A. By carrying out an experiment.
B. Just from an occasional thought.
C. With the support of their professors.
D. Inspired by the information in a science book.
29. The device collects power by using _____________.
A. photosynthesis B. a small biological circuit
C. energy plants D. the electricity stored in the device
30. What can we learn from what Mauricio Cifuentes said?
A. He intended to buy the patent.
B. He invented the original device.
C. He showed great interest in the device.
D. He attempted to produce the device in large numbers.
31. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. A New Device to Change the World
B. Green Power - A New and Potential Source
C. Chilean Students Find A Green Way to Charge Phones
D. A New Device Invented by Chilean Students Will Be on Sale
D
Eudaimonia is an Ancient Greek word, particularly stressed by the philosophers Plato and Aristotle, which deserves far more attention than it has because it corrects the shortfalls (缺失)in one of the most central, but troubling words in our modem language: happiness.
When we nowadays try to clearly express the purpose of our lives，it is the word “happiness” that we commonly turn to. We tell ourselves and others that the most important principle for our jobs, our relationships and the conduct of our day-to-day lives is the pursuit of happiness. It sounds like an innocent enough idea, but too much reliance on the term means that we frequently unfairly tend to quit or, at least, heavily question a great many challenging but worthwhile situations. The Ancient Greeks did not believe that the purpose of life was to be happy; they proposed that it was to achieve Eudaimonia, a word which has been best translated as “fulfilment”.
What distinguishes happiness from fulfilment is pain. It is very possible to be fulfilled and—at the same time—under pressure, suffering physically or mentally, overburdened and, quite frequently, in an irritable (易怒的)mood. This is a slight psychological difference that is hard for the word “happiness” to capture, for it’s tricky to speak of being happy yet unhappy, or happy yet suffering. However, such a combination is readily accommodated within the respected and noble-sounding idea of Eudaimonia.
The word encourages us to trust that many of life’s most worthwhile projects will sometimes be in conflict with contentment, and yet will be worth pursuing. Properly exploring our professional talents, managing a household, keeping a relationship going, creating a new business venture or engaging in politics... none of these goals are likely to leave us cheerful and grinning on a daily basis. They will, in fact, involve us in all manner of challenges that will deeply exhaust and weaken us, provoke (激怒)and wound us. And yet we will perhaps, at the end of our lives, still feel that the tasks were worth undertaking. Through them, we’ll have achieved something deeper and more interesting than happiness.
With the word Eudaimonia in mind, we can stop imagining that we are aiming for a pain-free existence—and then blaming ourselves unfairly for being in a bad mood. We’ll know that we are trying to do something far more important than smile all the time: we're striving to do justice to our full human potential.
32. What do we know about “Eudaimonia” from the passage?
A. It was first created by two Greek philosophers.
B. It has received a lot of attention from the public.
C. It still has some shortfalls that need to be corrected.
D. It was regarded as the purpose of life in ancient Greece.
33. According to Paragraph 3, happiness .
A. is the opposite of fulfillment
B. is free from physical or mental pain
C. stresses the psychological difference
D. serves as a respected and noble life goal
34. We can learn from the passage that .
A. aiming for happiness may lead to wrong self-blaming
B. goals that wound and weaken us result in happiness
C. challenges leading to contentment are worth undertaking
D. feeling fulfilled means we should avoid tough situations
35. The passage encourages the readers to .
A. find fulfillment with all efforts B. seek for a pain-free existence
C. keep optimistic whatever happens D. balance happiness and suffering

Radar is an electronic device that detects planes, ships, coastlines, landmarks, and even storm clouds. The name radar comes from the first letters of the words radio direction and ranging. As the human eye uses light waves to see, radar “sees” with radio waves. Without radar, planes could not land safely in bad weather and ships could not move safely in thick fog. ____51_____
In the 1800s it was discovered that radio waves could be reflected from objects. But scientists did not make great advances in radar research until the 1930s, when the world was threatened by war. ____52_____ It has been used widely in almost every conflict since then.
Echoes make it possible for radar to work. When a beam of radio waves is sent out, it strikes on an object and returns an echo. This echo is picked up by radar and recorded on a screen similar to television screen. On the screen an observer sees a flash, or a blip, that shows the direction and distance of the object. ____53_____
Airport control towers use radar to guide planes in for safe landings. Almost all large ships depend on radar to prevent collisions with icebergs or other ships. ____54_____ Weather forecasters “see” the size, direction, and speed of storms on radar screens. Astronomers can even use radar to measure accurately the distance to the moon. Thus, the device has generated major advancements.
____55_____Huge radar antennas have been installed all over the United States. They guard us against possible enemy attacks. We have ballistic—missiles (戰(zhàn)略導(dǎo)彈)warning systems that can alert us to attacks when missiles are more than 1,000 miles away. Other radar systems warn us against enemy aircraft and even spying space satellites.
A. Police track speeders in radar-equipped cars.
B. These measurements are now highly accurate.
C. The device can be used in a wide range of fields.
D. It is therefore especially valuable to shippers and travelers.
E. During World War II many countries used radar effectively.
F. Today radar is used by commercial airliners and weather forecasters.
G. Strengthening national defense is one of radar’s most important functions.

A
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Cold Dew (寒露), the 17th solar term of the year, begins this year on Oct 8 and ends on Oct 23.
At this time, temperatures are much lower than in White Dew in most areas of China. The dew is greater and colder and there will be less rain. Autumn crops will be ripe.
Here are four things you should know about Cold Dew.
Foggy autumn
Temperatures drop a lot in October. When the cold air meets with autumn rain, the water vapor in the air soon reaches saturation(飽和), and then it turns into misty rain or fog, causing many areas foggy in China.
Season for fishing
People always say that fishing in shallow water in autumn does make sense. That’s because during the Cold Dew period, temperatures decrease quickly and sunshine cannot reach the deep water thoroughly. Fish all swim to shallow water areas where the water temperature is relatively high.
Season for drinking chrysanthemum wine
Chrysanthemum is the typical flower of Cold Dew. To prevent autumn dryness, many regions in China have the custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine. This is a tradition of the Double Ninth Festival (on the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese calendar), which often falls around Cold Dew.
A great time for hiking
During Cold Dew, North China takes on a look of late autumn with white clouds, red leaves and early frost. On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, people often climb hills with cornels, a kind of plant. This custom aims to drive away evils, and dated from the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD25-220).
21. How long does Cold Dew last this year?
A. 24 days B. 17 days C. 15 days D. 23 days
22. Fishing in shallow water in autumn makes sense because _________.
A. the water temperature there is higher than that of deep water
B. it can drive away evils and enjoy the beauty of autumn
C. the temperature drops a lot with the fog appearing in October
D. it is the custom to prevent autumn dryness in many regions
23. In which part of newspaper may we find the passage?
A. business B. sports C. culture D. travel

J.K.Rowling turned another year older this week. Born Joanne Rowling, J.K.Rowling is, of course, her adopted pen name. Concerned that young boys might not go for a book written by a woman, her publisher suggested she come up with a pseudonym. So, upon combining her first initial with the initial of her paternal grandmother, Kathleen, the moniker J.K.Rowling was born.
Interesting fact about Rowling：apparently, she can only fool some of the people some of the time.
Back in April of this year, a crime novel appeared on the shelves.It was entitled The Cuckoo's Calling, and it was written by Robert Galbraith. According to Galbraith’s bio, he spent “several years with the Royal Military Police” and the leading character of his novel, a fellow by the name of Cormoran Strike, “grew directly out of his own experiences and those of his military friends.” Only, upon further review, he didn’t! The book was actually penned by J.K.Rowling, who apparently wanted to try and sell a novel based on complete craftsmanship rather than on her name.
Unfortunately, however, the wife of a partner in the media firm in whom she placed he trust, shared the secret on Twitter. Rowling was angry and disappointed concerning the betraying of trust.
I'm not sure whether I would be terribly upset for too long, if I were her. Previous to her being known as the author, Rowling saw her book listed 4,709th on Amazon. After the big reveal, her book jumped all the way to No.1!
More importantly, I think she got what she wanted. The novel has received nearly universal critical acclaim. Rowling passed her own test with flying colors. Clearly, she’s pretty good at her craft!
In any case, I personally look forward to reading her newest writing endeavor.
24. Why was Joanne Rowling advised to use a male pen name?
A. It was a common practice.
B. Her grandmother didn’t like her name.
C. The publisher wanted to give readers a surprise.
D. Women writers might not be popular with boy readers.
25. Why didn’t J.K.Rowling publish her new book under her name?
A. She thought her name was out of date.
B. She intended to prove her writing ability.
C. Readers didn’t like her books any longer.
D. She thought a new name could make her more popular.
26. What does the word“acclaim”underlined in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. High praise B. Great respect C. Severe criticism D. Much sympathy
27. What is the best title of the text?
A. The Book is Off Sale B. Her Door is Open
C. The Secret is Out D. Her Effort is in Vain
C
Plants cannot run or hide, so they need other strategies to avoid being eaten. Some curl up their leaves; others produce chemicals to make themselves taste bad if they sense animals drooling on them, chewing them up or laying eggs on them—all signals of an attack. New research now shows some flora can feel a plant-eating animal well before it launches an attack, letting a plant prepare a preemptive(搶先的)defense that even works against other pest species.
When ecologist John Orroek of the University of Wisconsin-Madison sprayed snail slime—a liquid the animals release as they slide along—into soil, nearby tomato plants appeared to notice. They increased their levels of an enzyme(生化酶), which is known to prevent plant-eating animals. “None of the plants were ever actually attacked.” Orrock says. “We just gave them cues that suggested an attack was coming, and that was enough to cause big changes in their chemistry.”
Initially Orrock found this defense worked against snails; in the latest study, his team measured the slimy warning impact on another potential threat. The investigators found that hungry-caterpillars(毛蟲(chóng)), which usually eat tomato leaves greedily, had no appetite for them after the plants were exposed to snail slime and activated their chemical resistance. This nonspecific defense may be a strategy that benefits the plants by further improving their overall possibilities of survival, says Orrock, who reported the results with his colleagues in March in Oecologia.
The finding that a snail’s approach can cause a plant response that affects a different animal made Richard Karban curious, a plant communications expert, who was not involved in the study. “It is significant that the plants are responding before being damaged and that these cues are having such far-ranging effects,” Karban says. The research was comprehensive, he adds, but he wondered how the tomato plants felt chemicals in snail slim that never actually touched them.
“That’s the million-dollar question,” Orrock says. He hopes future research will make out the mechanisms that enable plants to sense these relatively distant cues.
28. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Defense Attack B. Greedy Animals C. A Snail’s Approach D. Watchful Plants
29. John Orrock sprayed a liquid into soil nearby tomato plants to_______.
A. give tomato plants a warning B. make them grow better
C. keep plant—eating animals away D. inform plant-eating animals of danger
30. Why is the example of “caterpillars” mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To introduce another animal. B. To confirm the result of the study.
C. To appeal to people to protect animals. D. To analyse different resistance chemicals.
31. What does Richard Karban really want to know?
A. How tomato plants become aware of danger.
B. What the chemicals in the snail slime are.
C. Whether the research is of practical value.
D. What the finding of the research is.

Digital grounding is when parents or caregivers limit or completely take away access to technology from children. According to a study conducted by Pew Research, 65%of parents have digitally grounded their teen by taking away their teen’s cellphone or Internet access as punishment.
Because children are so connected with their technologies, digital grounding may seem like a logical step for parents. Take away a child’s most cherished item and they will quickly learn from their behavior. But the idea of digital grounding isn’t as clear-cut as that. Instead, it may be a lose-lose situation for parents and kids, alike.
For most parents, the goal of grounding isn’t to make their children unhappy or sad. It is to teach a lesson in the hope that they won’t engage in whatever behavior got them in trouble in the first place. Unfortunately, though, digital grounding is often just punishment, not discipline. If a child stays out past curfew(約定的最晚回家時(shí)間), a punishment would be hitting or yelling at them. Discipline would be not letting them go out the next weekend because they failed to follow rules.
We’ve all been there—we’ve caught our child doing something wrong and in the heat of the moment laid out a strict punishment. We may have been feeling hot-headed, embarrassed, or upset. Often, though, these punishments don’t align with the bad behavior.
While digital grounding may solve the problem temporarily, it won’t provide children with the guidance they need to act appropriately in the future. Instead of grounding, show your child what they did wrong and give them the chance to act differently. This way, they will learn from their mistakes in a practical manner and figure out ways to be safe and smart with technology.
There’s no denying it：technology is here for the long-haul. This is why some parenting experts don’t recommend digitally grounding your children. It doesn’t focus on the end goal of safe behavior. They recommend teaching them good habits as soon as possible, rather than taking away their technology. By digitally grounding them, you are putting a bandage over the wound, rather than treating it.
Now, when we say that digital grounding is a lose-lose situation, we’re not saying that disciplining your children in general is a lose-lose situation. Discipline is a great way to teach children lessons, when used appropriately.
32. Which of the following is a form of discipline?
A. Hitting or yelling at children.
B. Laying out a strict punishment in the heat of the moment.
C. Taking away access to cellphones from children completely.
D. Forbidding kids to go out the next weekend if they stay out past curfew.
33. What does the author think of digital grounding?
A. It benefits children a great deal.
B. It is no better than disciplining.
C. Parents can use it to correct kids’ behavior.
D. Neither parents nor children gain benefits from it.
34. What does the author suggest parents do instead of grounding?
A. Give kids more free time. B. Help kids form good habits.
C. Act appropriately in public. D. Put a bandage over the wound.
35. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To inform us of ways of punishing kids.
B. To explain what digital grounding means.
C. To show how to parent children in digital times.
D. To prove digital grounding is not a good parenting way.

Does your mood change with the seasons?
Some people find that when the temperature goes down, so do their spirits. ___36___ They eat more and gain weight. They have trouble sleeping. They can’t think clearly. Here are some ways you can beat the winter blues：
Get out in the sun. Some experts say that winter blues happen because we get less sunlight in the winter than we do in other seasons. Some say that the decrease in sunlight can make us feel sad. ___37___
Get some exercise. A walk or other exercise will make chemicals called endorphins (內(nèi)啡肽)flow through your body. Endorphins are natural “feel good” chemicals.
___38___ Avoid having too much sugar. If you want sugary foods (like cookies or candy), it may be a sign that you need more protein (蛋白質(zhì)), like meat, chicken, or fish.
Avoid holiday stress. Cut back if you have too many things to do. Make sure you have some quiet time to yourself. ___39___ Get some rest. Studies show that most teens need about nine hours of sleep each night. The average teen, though, gets only about six or seven hours of sleep per night.
Get help. Be careful if you feel sad all the time and the feeling won’t go away. ___40___ Talk to an adult who you trust or get help from a doctor.

The Sweetest Thing
When I was ten, I was crazy about candy. Whenever in our small-town 41 with my mom, I would run my fingers through my favorite candy on the shelf.
Once there, thinking about all things sweet, I noticed a man a few feet away pushing buttons on the ATM machine. Dressed in a suit, he seemed to be late for something, 42 waiting for his cash to appear. The machine made a noise, and he immediately 43 _ a pile of bills and headed out. Curiously, I walked over to the ATM, where I started pressing the buttons as if knowing the 44 . Then I looked into the bottom of the machine. There I saw it: a beautiful $20 bill! 45 I wanted to believe my magic made the cash appear, I knew the man in the suit must have left it behind.
I held the money in my hand, staring at the number “20” and feeling 46 than I ever had. I thought about putting the money into my pocket. No one would know, but it didn’t feel 47 . I knew it didn’t belong to me. I had to find its owner and give it back! So I told my mom what had happened. “We’ll look for him.” she said kindly. We rushed out and found him stepping into his car in the parking lot! We 48 to him and asked whether he had left money at the cash machine.
Let me 49 ,” he said, pulling out his wallet and bills. “Twenty, forty, eighty…Oh! You’re right,” he said with surprise, “I’m 50 a $20 bill.”
“Here you go,” I said, smiling with pride, as if I was a(n) 51 who had solved a mystery. “Thank you so much,” he said, bending down and 52 my hand. My heart swelled. Before saying goodbye, he asked my mom for my name and 53 . “I want to send your daughter a thank-you card,” he said.
On my way home, my 54 was racing. Twenty dollars. What could I have done with it? I bet I could have bought a puppy or every single candy bar in town! But now 55 of that would happen. Yet I knew I had done the right thing.
A few weeks later, I got a box with a note. I ripped it open to find packages of candy.
“Dear Felicia, Thank you very much for 56 my $20. You are a great girl, and I appreciate your 57 . I hope you enjoy this candy. Best Wishes, Tom.” Tom included his business card. It turned out he was vice-president for the candy company. The candy tasted sweet, each 58 reminding me that what I had done mattered. Although my honesty wouldn’t always be 59 with candy, it would make a difference to someone. And that was the 60 part of all.

The bristlecone pine is the longest-living thing on the earth.These trees，with their strangely-shaped，wind-beaten limbs(枝干)，can live up to 5 000 years.But experts worry that a warming climate in some areas may threaten its future.
Researchers say warmer weather is permitting a similar kind of tree，the limber pine，to take over good growing places from the ancient bristlecone.They say the tree is being crowded out of mountainous areas where it grows.
“The bristlecone pine is the oldest individually growing organism，”researchers say.They grow in high mountain forests in eastern California，Nevada and Utah. In those mountains，the trees face high winds and extreme temperatures，which leave them with twisted limbs and shapes.“Even in such tough conditions，”Brian Smithers，a researcher at the University of California，said，“the limber pine is taking all the good spots.”
The limber pine is the bristlecone’s distant relative and competitor.It can also live a long time—up to 2 000 years.And it is usually found at lower altitudes，where temperatures are warmer.However，according to a three-year study which centered on trees that have started growing in the last 50 years in California’s White Mountains，most of the trees growing at higher altitudes were limber pines.
Scientists compared the competing species to two o1d men in a very slow race up a mountainside.This race between such slow-growing trees takes thousands of years.They say climate change is causing the competition.
Smithers said the bristlecone pines are not in danger of disappearing.But he assumes they could be crowded out of some places where they have grown for thousands of years.
The researchers say the findings show how climate change can affect the two kinds of trees. The information，they say，can help scientists understand more complex forests.
24. What’s the function of Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce a topic. B. To summarize the whole passage.
C. To describe the appearance of a tree. D. To praise the hard work of the experts.
25. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. There will be older trees sent out of those mountains.
B. There will be more places covered with bristlecone pines.
C. There will be better limber pines replacing the ancient ones.
D. There will be fewer bristlecone pines growing in those areas.
26. According to the passage，the reason why limber pines can grow at higher altitudes is_________.
A. the high winds B. the difficult conditions
C. the changing climate D. the extreme temperatures
27. What is the researchers’ attitude towards the future of the bristlecone pine?
A. Positive. B. Concerned. C. Enthusiastic. D. Indifferent.
C
I start every summer with the best of intentions: to attack one big book from the past, a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious. Often the pairings of books and settings have been purely accidental: “Moby Dick” on a three-day cross-country train trip; “The Magic Mountain” in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms, and little to do beyond row on the salt pond. Attempting “The Man Without Qualities” on a return to Hawaii, my native state, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes (冊(cè)), then decided that I’d got the point and went swimming instead.
But this summer I find myself at a loss. I’m not quite interested in Balzac, say, or “Tristram Shandy.” There’s always “War and Peace,” which I’ve covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War” part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone’s name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite — once more into “The Waves” or “Justine,” which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to properly belong in serious literature.
And then there’s Stendhal’s “The Red and the Black,” which happens to be the name of my favorite cocktail (雞尾酒) of the summer, created by Michael Cecconi at Savoy and Back Forty. It is easy to drink, and knocking back three or four seems like such a delightful idea. Cecconi’s theory: “I take whatever’s fresh at the greenmarket and turn it into liquid.” The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the park, making one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once, lying on uncut grass with eyes shut, sun beating through the lids...
28. What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph?
A. He shows talents for literature. B. He admires a lot of great writers.
C. He has a cottage in New England. D. He enjoys reading when traveling.
29. What do the underlined words “get bogged down” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Be interrupted. B. Make no progress.
C. Get confused. D. Be carried away.
30. Why does the author say reading his favorite books feels like cheating?
A. He barely understands them. B. He finishes them quickly.
C. He has read them many times before. D. He should read something serious.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. To Read or Not to Read B. The Books of Summer
C. It’s Never Too Late to Read D. My Summer Holidays
D
It is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the Amazon rainforest. Without it we would not have grown into primates (靈長(zhǎng)類(lèi)動(dòng)物) . Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition, Columbus wouldn’t have dicovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.
Friendship, like all relationships between two people, involves competition. It isn’t competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecological defintion --- the simultaneous (同時(shí)) demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrinents, living space, or light --- better explains it.
As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwin’s theory of evolution, overpopulation, and competition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing (分類(lèi)) take place. In high school, friendships learn to coexist with competition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstance, competition is too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a student’s fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition.
Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork. A healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, jealousy (妒忌) can tear friendships apart. Yet, despite all this, without competition, we would be lost.
32. What does the ecological definition mainly explain?
A. How to win the competition. B. What competition exactly is.
C. What the result of competition is. D. How friends compete with each other.
33. According to the writer, what causes the high school students to compete?
A. They know the laws of nature well. B. Friendship is a burden for them.
C. The number of them is too large. D. They are divided into different groups.
34. Which best describes the relationship of friendship and competition?
A. Friendship is always based on competition.
B. Competition is a result of lost friendship.
C. C ompetition is terribly harmful to friendships.
D. The degree of competition is vital to friendship.
35. What does the author think of “competition”?
A. Competition is certain to happen at school.
B. The result of competition are out of control.
C. Competition becomes fierces in high school.
D. Friendship is not as important as competition at school.

The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unncessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth tasking. 36 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say if may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 37 As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 38
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 39 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
40 For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A. Those are the risks you should jump to take.
B. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
C. It all depends on your character.
D. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
E. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
F. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.
G. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
