In any field it's important to have ambition and drive. But having worked as a psychologist with athletes, executives, artists and young people, I've learned that those who rise to the headiest heights in any field aren't necessarily the ones with the greatest natural talent. They're the diligent few who put in the hours. They work hard. And then they work harder. Recent research by fellow psychologists bears out the significance of focused hard work. In 1988, K. Anders Ericsson of Florida State University in Tallahassee and colleagues in Germany compared the careers of two groups of young musicians. The ten members of the first group were identified as potential topflight international performers. Another ten were identified as merely "good". Ericsson also included ten violinists performing in orchestras of international reputation, such as the Berlin Philharmonic. Both student groups kept diaries of their current practice schedules, and all three groups provided estimates of their earlier schedules. Of the student musicians, Ericsson found, by the age of 20, the "good" group had practiced 7500 hours － an impressive total. But the potential world-class performers had practiced a staggering 10 000 hours － the equivalent of more than a year of hard work. "It's the difference between a college freshman and a junior," Ericsson says. Moreover, the top group's total practice time matched almost exactly that of the symphony performers at the same age. Of course, there's a difference between hard work and drudgery. Keeping your nose mindlessly to the grindstone will only get you abraded nostrils. It's important to put in the hours. But it's not just the hours that count. For hard work to really pay off, you need to work effectively. 1. According to the author, the most important quality for one desiring the greatest achievements is ________.

A、ambition

B、hard work

C、drive

D、the greatest natural talent

48. In English learning, vocabulary is an important part of nearly any subject. Unfortunately, new vocabulary is not always fun to learn. The default way of explaining vocabulary is to give a definition. There are other ways to explain a word. For instance, one can use synonyms to explain a word can be effective since they build on words and phrases that students already recognize. Or he can show the actual item to explain a word, which may help students to have a hands-on experience. The second way mentioned here is closely related to a classical theory in the field of semantics. Try to make a discussion of that theory and its weak points, as well as how linguists developed a new theory to improve it. Make sure that your discussion is no less than 150 words.

Criticism of research lays a significant foundation for future investigative work, but whe

n students begin their own projects, they are likely to find that the standards of validity in field work considerably more rigorous than the standards for most library research. When students are faced with the concrete problem of proof by field demonstration, they usually discover that many of the "important relationships" they may have criticized other researchers for failing to demonstrate are very elusive indeed. They will find, if they submit an outline or questionnaire to their classmates for criticism, that other students make comments similar to some they themselves any have made in discussing previously published research. For example, student researchers are likely to begin with a general question but find themselves forced to narrow its focus. They may learn that questions whose meanings seem perfectly obvious to them are not clearly understood by others, or that questions which seemed entirely objective to them appear to be highly biased to someone else. They usually find that those who have not actually attempted it generally believe the formulation of good research questions is a much more subtle and frustrating task.

What does the author think about trying to find weaknesses in other people's research？

A．It should only be attempted by experienced researchers.

B．It may cause researchers to avoid publishing good work.

C．It is currently being done to excess.

D．It can be useful in planning future research.

第6题

The United States is on the verge of losing its leading place in the world's technology. So says more than one study in recent years. One of the reasons for this decline is the parallel decline in the number of U.S. scientists and engineers.

Since 1976, employment of scientists and engineers is up 85 percent. This trend is expected to continue. However, the trend shows that the number of 22-year-olds--the near term source of future PH.D.s is declining. Further adding to the problem is the increased competition for these candidates from other fields like law, medicine, business, etc. While the number of U.S. PH.D.s in science and engineering declines, the award of PH.D.s to foreign nationals is increasing rapidly.

Our inability to motivate students to pursue science and engineering careers at the graduate level is compounded because of the intense demand industry has for bright Bachelor's and Master's degree holders. Too often, promising PH.D.Candidates, confronting the cost and financial sacrifice of pursuing their education, find the attraction of industry irresistible.

(1)The U.S. will come to lose its leading place in technology probably because（）.

A.the number of PH.D.Degree holders is declining

B.the number of scientists and engineers is decreasing

C.the number of 22-year-ilds is declining

D.scientists and engineers are not employed

(2)The field of science and engineering is facing a competition from（） .

A.technology

B.foreign nationals

C.such fields as law, medicine and business

D.postgraduates

(3)Large-scale enterprises now need （）.

A.bright graduates and postgraduates

B.new inventions

C.advanced technology

D.engineers

(4) Many promising postgraduates are unwilling to pursue a PH.D.degree because（）.

A.they are not encouraged to be engaged in science

B.industry does not require PH.D.holders

C.they have financial difficulties

D.they will spend much time and energy completing PH.D.

(5) PH.D.candidates "find the attraction of industry irresistible" means that（）.

A.they find industry is attracting more and more college students

B.they don't think they can prevent themselves from working for industry

C.they cannot resist any attraction from all sides

D.they cannot work for industry any longer

A great deal of nonsense is written about the character of a nation, chiefly because many

observers, influenced by national pride and prejudices, feel irresistibly tempted to generalize about everything. In a nation of many millions of people, there are bound to be many different kinds: rich and poor, clever and stupid, good and bad, modest and conceited, patient and impatient, honest and dishonest. Moreover, a nation may develop a sort of collective character in its polities and literature which is not recognizable in individual people. Generalizations therefore tend to be unrealistic, and should be made, and accepted, with caution. One word of warning is necessary. The British people who take up appointments in Asia and Africa are not fully typical of their nation. For one thing, they are usually specialists in one field or another. The average British people is not a specialist, and although he can read and write he is not particularly cultured in the intellectual sense. "Highbrow" is a word very often used by the common people of Britain to describe and condemn any form. of intellectual culture. Moreover, the great technical achievements of Europeans do not mean that a European is basically more intelligent than an African or Asian. The achievements are due to the handing down and sharing of knowledge and to organized training and research rather than m mental superiority; and of course the mere possession of, say, a motor-car or washing-machine and the ability m operate it, does not require any understanding of how it works.

To know the character of a nation, one should ______.

A．observe the behavior. of the leaders

B．read the literature of that nation

C．never accept any generalizations

D．form. a sound judgment of everything

I was born in Tuckahoe, Talbot Country, Maryland. I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never havi

ng seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves knows as little of their age as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant. I do not remember having ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer to it than planting-time, harvesting, springtime, or falltime. A lack of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages, I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege. I was not allowed to make any inquires of my master concerning it. He considered all such inquires on the part of a slave improper and impertinent. The nearest estimate I can give makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age. I come to this, from hearing my master say, some time during 1835, I was about seventeen years old. My mother was named Harriet Bailey. She was the daughter of Isaac and Betsey Bailey, both colored, and quite dark.

My mother was of a darker complexion than either my grandmother or grandfather.

My father was a white man. The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father; but of the correctness of this opinion, I know nothing; the means of knowing was withheld from me. My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant-before I knew her as my mother. It is a common custom, in the part of Maryland from which I ran away, to part children from their mothers at a veryearly age. Frequently, before the child has reached its twelfth month, its mother is taken from it, and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off, and the child is placed under the care of an older woman, too old for field labor. For what this separation is done, I do not know, unless it was to hinder the development of the child's affection towards its mother.

Where do good ideas come from？ For centuries, all ...

Where do good ideas come from？ For centuries, all credit for these mysterious gifts went to faith, fortune and some fair muses. But to assume creativity is some lofty trait enjoyed by the few is both foolish and unproductive, argues Jonah Lehrer in his book Imagine: How Creativity Works. Drawing from a wide array of scientific and sociological research—and everything from the poetry of W.H. Auden to the films of Pixar—he makes a convincing case that innovation cannot only be studied and measured, but also nurtured and encouraged. 3M Company is ranked as the third-most innovative in the world, selling more than 55,000 products, from streetlights to computer touch-screens. But when Mr. Lehrer visits, he finds employees engaged in all sorts of frivolous activities, such as playing pinball and wandering about the campus. These workers are actually pushed to take regular breaks, because interrupting work with a relaxing activity lets the mind turn inward, where it can subconsciously puzzle over subtle meanings and connections (the brain is incredibly busy when daydreaming). But this is just one reason for 3M's creative output. The company also encourages its employees to take risks, not only by spending masses on research （nearly 8% of gross revenue）, but also by expecting workers to spend around 15% of their time pursuing speculative ideas. Most of these efforts will fail, but some, such as masking tape, an early 3M concept, will generate real profit for the company. The reason why this approach works is because many breakthroughs come when people venture beyond their area of expertise. Often it takes an outsider to ask the kind of dumb questions that may yield an unconventional solution. This is why young people tend to be the most innovative thinkers in nearly any field, from physics to music. The ignorance of youth “comes with creative advantages,” writes Mr. Lehrer, as the young are less jaded by custom and experience. Still, he reassures readers that anyone can stay creative as long as he works “to maintain the perspective of the outsider” by considering new problems at work (3M regularly rotates its engineers from division to division), travelling to new countries or simply spending more time staring “at things we don't fully understand”. Mr. Lehrer concludes with a call for better policy to “increase our collective creativity”. He also warns that the it demands a lot of time, sweat and grit. Or as Albert Einstein put it: “Creativity is the residue of time wasted.” 8. Why do young people tend to be the most innovative thinkers in nearly any field？

A、The ignorance of young people may yield an unconventional idea.

B、Young people always ask some dumb questions.

C、Young people are more jaded by custom and experience.

D、The ignorance of young people cannot come with creation.

She's cute, no question. Symmetrical features, flawless skin, looks to be 22 years old—ent

ering any meat-market bar, a woman lucky enough to have this face would turn enough heads to stir a breeze. But when Victor Johnston points and clicks, the face on his computer screen changes into a state of superheated, crystallized beauty. "You can see it. It's just so extraordinary," says Johnston, a professor of biopsychology at New Mexico State University who sounds a little in love with his creation.

The transformation from pretty woman to knee-weakening babe is all the more amazing because the changes wrought by Johnston's software are, objectively speaking, quite subtle. He created the original face by digitally averaging 16 randomly selected female Caucasian faces. The changing program then exaggerated the ways in which female faces differ from male faces, creating, in human-beauty-science field, a "hyper-female". The eyes grew a bit larger, the nose narrowed slightly and the lips plumped. These are shifts of just a few millimeters, but experiments in this country and Scotland are suggesting that both males and females find "feminized" versions of averaged faces more beautiful.

Johnston hatched this little movie' as part of his ongoing study into why human beings find some people attractive and others homely. He may not have any rock-solid answers yet, but he is far from alone in attempting to apply scientific inquiry to so ambiguous a subject. Around the world, researchers are marching into territory formerly staked out by poets and painters to uncover the under-pinnings of human attractiveness.

The research results so far are surprising—and humbling. Numerous studies indicate that human beauty may not be simply in the eye of the beholder or an arbitrary cultural artifact. It may be ancient and universal, wrought through ages of evolution that rewarded reproductive winners and killed off losers. If beauty is not truth, it may be health and fertility: Halle Berry's flawless skin may fascinate moviegoers because, at some deep level, it persuades us that she is parasite-free.

Human attractiveness research is a relatively young and certainly contentious field—the allure of hyper-females, for example, is still hotly debated—but those on its front lines agree on one point: We won't conquer "looks-ism" until we understand its source. As psychologist Nancy Etcoff puts it: "The idea that beauty is unimportant or a cultural construct is the real beauty myth. We have to understand beauty, or we will always be enslaved by it."

The woman described in the very beginning of the text is ______.

A．in fact in her late twenties

B．Johnston's ideal girlfriend

C．a stunning beauty

D．is a professional prostitute
