21、Albert Einsrein is known as the father of modern physics, but he may not be the man your kids should aspire(有志) to be. Instead, the person we should be looking up to is the productive Thomas Alva Edison.
Researchers at Penn State and William Paterson universities came to that conclusion after conducting a series of studies with college students and finding that students were more motivated by the hard-working Edison type than Einstein’s “genius is my birthright” model.
“There’s a misleading message out there that says you have to be a genius in order to be a scientist,” says study co-author Danfei Hu at Penn State, who thinks this may be a big cause of people not choosing science and missing, out on a great career. “Struggling is a normal part of doing science and exceptional talent is not the only precondition for succeeding in science! It's important we help spread this message in science education.” she continues.
In one study conducted by Hu and Janet N. Ahn of William Paterson University, participants read the same story--about the typical difficulty faced by a scientist--with half told the hero of the story was Einstein and the other half told it was Edison. It may have been the same story, but knowing it involved Einstein prompted students to assume he overpowered his struggles using his giant brain. When told Edison was the hero, students more with the idea that he outworked his problems. Indeed, the latter students were more motivated to complete a series of math problems.
Einstein’s success is commonly linked to extraordinary talent while Edison’s is usually linked to his persistence and diligence. That’s not to say Einstein put little effort into revolutionizing science. He worked as hard as anyone. But the popular understanding remains that his brain--something that can’t be “emulated”--was like no other. So why bother trying to follow in his footsteps? Edison, however, a man with a huge number of successes as well as plenty of failures, but finally someone who made the world a better place, is the kind of man we can all aspire to be.
【1】What did the researchers discover in their studies?
A.Hard workers are better role models than geniuses.
B.Young people have unreasonable admiration for geniuses.
C.Edison's contribution to science is greater than Einstein’s.
D.Young people are not familiar with Einstein’s and Edison’s work.
【2】What does Hu suggest in science education?
A.Setting examples.
B.Encouraging failures.
C.Advocating hardwork.
D.Discovering talent.
【3】Which might be the author’s view on Einstein?
A.Not productive but influential as a physicist.
B.A genius who succeeded in science easily.
C.A great physicist with many hidden virtues.
D.Well-known genius and an unacknowledged hard worker.
【4】The underlined word “emulated” can be replaced by________.
A.examined
B.copied
C.wasted
D.damaged

23、It’s a challenging Friday morning for Jaouad Benaddi. He’s been trying to get his goat to climb an argan tree. He holds a bag of grain (谷物) to encourage a goat to join him, waiting for the goat to catch up and eat for a moment, then holds its neck to pull toward him, but the goat fights back and jumps out of the tree.
Morocco’s tree-climbing goats, which are also called flying goats, have made headlines in recent years. Often described as a unique phenomenon in the North African nation, their climbing is born and natural.
However, Liz Cabrera Holtz, Wildlife Campaign Manager at World Animal Protection, said, “These animals are being controlled and badly treated. They’re not moving freely. They don’t have access to food, water, or even shade. Being forced to stay in trees for hours is not a normal behavior.”
Actually, Morocco is experiencing its worst drought in decades, making it increasingly difficult for farmers to grow crops in this western region. Beginning in the early 2000s, some started treeing their goats to earn tips from tourists. The income source reduced after the COVID-19 hit in early 2020. But after the country’s lockdown ended early this year, the goat-display business continued.
Benaddi says he had no interest in using his goats as roadside attractions until it became too dry to grow crops. “I’m doing a job, the goats are doing a job,” he says. “The money we make is used to buy food for all of us—my family and the goats.”
【1】How does Benaddi deal with his goat?
A.Training it to jump out of the tree.
B.Feeding it on some vegetables.
C.Planting some argan trees for it.
D.Attracting it to climb up the tree.
【2】What’s Liz’s attitude towards the goats’ situation?
A.Confused.
B.Supportive.
C.Worried.
D.Uncertain.
【3】What makes agriculture more difficult in Morocco?
A.The competition in farming.
B.The extreme weather.
C.The requirement of the government.
D.The development of tourism.
【4】What can we infer about Benaddi?
A.He depends on his goats to make a living.
B.He is leading a rich life with his family.
C.He spends his money helping the country.
D.He is unwilling to grow crops on the farm.
24、 People often talk about cultural differences between western and eastern countries, but how about the western world itself? Surprisingly, a closer look at it can reveal a good many curious details.
The most obvious characteristic of the majority of Americans is that they smile a lot. It does not matter whether they have a strong reason to smile; they do it, sometimes simply because they have to. A smile is not just a powerful marketing tool but also a way to show that someone is friendly, and that life in general is fine. Europeans, on the contrary, prefer to keep a more neutral (不露声色的) facial expression. They smile mostly when they are in a good mood, or feel amused; if not, a European’s face will remain neutral, or even dull. In Russia, for example, there is a proverb saying that laughing for no reason is a sign of a fool. It does not mean that Europeans are serious, or that they do not have a sense of humor.
The same refers to communication in general. Americans are extremely communicative; small talk and chats are common. Europeans talk mostly when there is something to say, and rarely enter communication just for the purpose of talking to other people. American people prefer to express what they think carefully, considering how it might affect surrounding people. Europeans are more straightforward, even with unfamiliar people. A European friend will almost always voice their opinion on different occasions, and will not hesitate to remind you that you need to lose some weight or take a shower.
It can be said that Americans are people of contrasts. They are open-minded, flexible, and ready to accept everything new enthusiastically; but at the same time, American society manages to bring up unbelievable conservatives. Americans are extremely politically correct, which, in most cases, is indeed a secure and beneficial practice, but it can also mess up daily or even private communication, sometimes preventing having close relationships. Europeans, on the contrary, are more straightforward, preferring to tell the truth in direct ways. Each way of communication is different — neither is correct or incorrect.
【1】What does the author say about smiling?
A.It is culture-related within western countries.
B.It is a powerful marketing tool across cultures.
C.It is thought of as a sign of a fool in America.
D.It is regarded as being socially necessary in Europe.
【2】What is typical of Europeans’ communication?
A.Beating around the bush. B.Having small talk and chats.
C.Hiding their feelings carefully. D.Expressing themselves openly.
【3】What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Being straightforward. B.Being politically correct.
C.Accepting everything new. D.Raising unbelievable conservatives.
【4】How is the text mainly developed?
A.By analyzing cause and effect. B.By making comparisons.
C.By classifying body language. D.By discussing research findings.
