| If Confucius(孔子)were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles.He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on this special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought.It's nothing personal.Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius.In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities.More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries.These schools teach both Chinese language and culture.The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学).Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy.Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States.Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is. |
| 1.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ______ |
| A.provide some key facts about Confucius B. attract the readers' interest in the subject C. show great respect for the ancient thinker D. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations |
| 2. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students______ |
| A.have a great interest in studying Chinese B. take an active part in Chinese competitions C. try to get high scores in Chinese exams D. fight for a chance to learn Chinese |
3. What is t he best title for the passege?______ |
| A. Forgotten Wisdom in America B. Huge Fans of the Chinese Language C. Chinese Culture for Westerners D. Old Thinker with a Big Future |
| 4. The passage is likely to appear in ______. |
| A. a biography B. a history paper C. a newspaper D. a philosophy textbook |

| Make Up Your Mind to Succeed Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their chil  dren defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because "everyone's winn  er." And their report cards sounded more positivethan ever be  fore. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them "the overpraised generation." Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her resear  ch has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here's how they work: A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that tale  nt (才能) is genetic - you're a bornartist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it's sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it's quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties. On the other hand, a growth mind-s  et believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn't on t he line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it's quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience. We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck's book, Mind-set: The  NewPsychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure. |
| 1. What does the author think about the present generation?_____. |
| A. They don't do well at school. B. They are often misunderstood. C. They are eager to win in sports. D. They are given too much praise. |
| 2. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ______ . |
| A. doesn't want to work hard B. cares a lot about personal safety C. cannot share his ideas with others D. can succeed with the help of teachers |
| 3. What does the growth mind-set believe?_______. |
| A. Admitting failure is shameful. B. Talent comes with one's birth. C. Scores should be highly valued. D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable. |
| 4. What should parents do for their children based on Dweck's study?______ |
| A. Encourage them to learn from failures. B. Prevent them from making mistakes. C. Guide them in doing little things. D. Help them grow with praise. |

| Finally, a cell phone That's… a phone With rates as low as $3.75 per week ! "Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a "global-positioning" something or other that's supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids!The people at the store weren't much help. They couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were confusing and expensive… and the contract (合同) lasted for two years! I'd almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now, I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch with a phone I can actually use. " Affordable plans that I can understand一and no contract to sign (签订)! Unlike other cell phones,Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I' m never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan,I won 't find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign, so I m not locked in for years at a time. The US-based customer service is second to none. And the phone gets service anywhere in the country.  Call 1-888-809-8794 or visit www. jitlerbugdirect. com. |

| Decision-making under Stress A new review based on a research shows that stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negativeconsequences(results) of a decision. The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices. "Stress affects how people learn," says Professor Mara Mather. "People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress." For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately(精确) and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn't gone through the stress. This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress -at those moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled. The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different. Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better, when caution weighs more, however, women will win. This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction. |
| 1.We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to ______. |
| A. keep rewards better in their memory B. recall consequences more effortlessly C. make risky decisions more frequently D. learn a subject more effectively |
| 2.According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their ______. |
| A. ways of making choices B. preference for pleasure C. tolerance(容忍) of punishments D. responses to suggestions |
| 3. The research has proved that in a stressful situation, ______. |
| A. women find it easier to fall into certain habits B. men have a greater tendency to slow down C. women focus more on outcomes D. men are more likely to take risks |

| We all know that money can't make us happy, but many times we act as if we'd be happier with a bit more money. We are conditioned to want to be richer; we are trained to want the latest style that television tells us; we want to earn more money because then we'll have a good life. But none of that will make us happier. And the sad thing is that it can take us decades of pursuing (追求) wealth and expensiv  e things before we realize that. So what will bring us happiness? Luckily, there are three things that don't cost anything. Here they are: Good relationships. We have a human need to be close with other human beings. Having good, supportive friendships, a strong marriage or loving relationships with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy. Therefore, take time, today, to stay with your loved ones, to tell them what they mean to you, to listen to them, and to develop your r elationships with them. Positive thinking. Optimism(乐观) is one of the best indicators of people who lead a happy life. Happy people feel empowered, in control of their lives. So why not make positive thinking a habit? In fact, this should be one of the first habits you develop. Flow. This is a popular concept on the Internet these days 一 the state we enter when we are completely focused on the work or task. Having work and leisure(休闲)that gets you in this state of flow will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness. People find the greatest enjoyment not when they're passively mindless, but when they're absorbed in a mindful challenge. If you are interested in some kind of work and keen on some kind of hobbies, it is not a bad idea. Turn off the TV 一 this is the opposite of flow 一 and then go outside and do something that truly makes you active.  |
