Yet re-reader are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One frieredtold me that Jane Austen's Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it 50 rimes. New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman, in New York, first came across George Eliot's Middlemarch at 17.Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her lift? T ii has resonated (引起共鸣)diffeently. Mead evidenced I he large number of ways in which realty good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines . These kinds of books grow with us. Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefils of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why.” Second time round, we're able to hotter appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristet Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers. It's true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we've fond of making notes on the pages). These texts ran carry us hack to a time and place, remind us of the kind of person that we were and then. We’re changed not only by lived experience but also by reading experience—by the books that we've discovered since last reading the one in our hand. More than the movie director or the musician, the writer rails upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life. A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading dial our own life story can become connected with the story in the book. Perhaps what's really strange is that we don't re-read more ofter. After all， we watch our favorite films again and we wouldn't think of listening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects,yet of fill art forms， lilerature alone is a largely one-time: delight, A book, of course, takers up more lime, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adeouately worthwhile. 56. The two Looks are mentioned in Paragraph I mainly to . A.attract the attention of re-readers B. introduce the topic of the passage C. provide some background information D. show the similarity between re-rearders 57. The underlined expression “t nick their spines” in Paragraph 2 refers to . A. re-read them B. recite them C.recall them D.retell them 58. It can be learned from the passage that . A. reading benefits people both mentally and physically B. readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading C. writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do D. we know ourselves better through re-reading experience 59. The purpose of the passage is to . A.call on different understandings of old books B. focus on the mental health benefits of reading C.bring awareness to die significance of re-reading D.introduce the effective ways of re-reading old books B Neuroscientists have explained the risky, aggressive or just plain confusing behavior of teenagers as the product of a brain that is somehow compromised. Groundbreaking research in the past 10 years, however, shows that this view is wrong. The teen brain is not defective(有缺陷的).It is not a half-baked adult brain, either. It has been forged by evolution differently from that of a child or an adult. Foremost among the teen brain's features is its ability to change in response to the environment by modifying the communication networks that formed brain regions. It allows teenagers to make enormous strides in thinking and socialization. But the change also makes them sensitive to dangerous behavior and serious mental disorders， The most recent studies indicate that the riskiest behavior arises from a mismatch between (he maturation of networks in the limbic system (边缘系统)，which drives emotions and intensifies at puberty (青春期),and the maturation of networks in the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质),which occurs later and promotes sound judgment and the control of impulses. Indeed, we now know that one’s prefrontal cortex continues to change prominently until his 20s. And yet puberty seems to be starting earlier，extending the “mismatch years”. The plasticity of networks linking brain regions —and not the growth of those regions, as previously thought— is key to eventually behaving like an adult. Understanding that, and knowing that a widening gap between the development of emotional and judgment networks is happening in young people today, can help parents f teachers counselors and teenagers themselves. People will better see that behavior such as risk-taking, sensation-seeking, and turning away from parents and toward peers are not signs of cognitive or emotional problems. They are a natural result of brain development，a normal part of adolescents learning how to negotiate a complex world. The same understanding can also help adults decide when to intervene. A 15-year-old girls departure from her parentsy tastes in clothing, music or politics may be a source of anxiety for Mom and Dad but does not indicate mental illness. A 16-year-old boy's tendency to skateboard without a helmet or to accept risky challenges from friends is not unimportant but is more likely a sign of short-range thinking and peer pressure than a desire to hurt himself. Other exploratory and actions might be red flags, however. Knowing more about the unique teen aggressive brain will help all of us learn how to separate unusual behavior that is age-appropriate from that which might indicate illness. Such awareness could help society reduce the rates of teen addiction, motor vehicle accidents and depression. 60. How is Paragraph ] mainly develop? A. By draiving a comparison. B. By confirming a prediction. C. By making an assumption. D. By correction a misunderstanding. 61. What can we know about the changeability of teen 's brains? A. It is predictable and avoidable. B. It is a double-edged sword. C. It is related to their brain development in the childhood. D. It results from serious functional disorders. 62. The limbic system and the prefrontal cortex arc mentioned in paragraph 3 to . A. show how the mismatch between their maturation of networks happens B. explain the relationship between early puberty and them C. explain what leads to teens' riskiest behavior D. show the differences between them 63. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The important role of adults in teenagers' development. B. Long-term prospects for the research of teenagers' brains. C. Possible cognitive and emotional problems of teenagers. D. The significance of the new discovery. C America's education system has become less a ladder of opportunity than a structre to transmit inequality from one generation to the next. That's why school reform is so critical. This is an issue of equality, opportunity and national conscience. It's not just about education, but about poverty and justice. It’s true that the main reason inner-city schools do poorly teachers’ unions，but poverty. Southern states without strong teachers' unions have schools at least as awful as those in union states. Some Chicago teachers seem to think that they shouldn't be held accountable until poverty is solved. There're steps we ran take that would make some difference, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel is trying some of them—yet the union is resisting. I'd be sympathetic if the union focused solely on higher compensation. Teachers need to be much better paid to attract the best college graduates to the nation's worst schools. But, insleatl，the Chicago union seems to be using its political capital primarily to protect weak performers. There's solid evidence that there are huge differences in the effectiveness of teachers. The gold standard study by Harvard and Columbia University scholars found that even in high-poverty schools, teachers consistently had a huge positive or negative impact. Get a bottom 1% teacher, and ihe effect is the same as if a child misses 40% of the school year. Get a teacher from the top 20%, and it's as if a child has gone to school for an extra month or two. The study found that strong teachers in the fourth through eighth grades raised the skills of their students in ways that would last for decades. Just having a strong teacher for one elementary year left pupils a bit less likely to become mothers as teenagers, a bit more likely to go to college and earning more money at age 28. How does one figure out who is a weak teacher? Yes, that's a challenge. But researchers are improving systems, to measure a teacher’s performance throughout the year, and, with three years of data, it's usually possible to tell which teachers are failing. Unfortunately, the union in Chicago is insisting that teachers who are laid off—often for being ineffective—should get priority in new hiring. That’s an insult to students. Teaching is so important that it should be like other professions, with high pay and good working conditions but few job protections for bottom performers. This isn’t a battle between garment workers and greedy bosses. The central figures in ihe Chicago schools strike are neither strikers nor managers but 350,000 children. Protecting the union demand sacrifices those students, in effect turning a blind eye to the injustice in the education system. 64. What do we learn about America's education system? A. It provides a ladder of opportunity for the wealthy. B. It contributes little to the elimination of inequality. C. It has remained basically unchanged for generations. D. It has brought up generations of responsible citizens. 65. What is chiefly responsible for the undesirable performance of inner-city schools? A. Unqualified teachers, B. Lack of financial resources. C. Unfavorable learning environment. D. Subconscious racial discrimination 66. What does the author think the union should do to win popular support? A. Assist the city government in reforming schools. B. Give constructive advice to inner-city schools. C.Demand higher pay for teachers. D.Help teachers improve teaching. 67.What is the finding of the gold standard study by Harvard and Columbia University scholars? A. Many inner-city school teachers are not equal to their jobs, B. A large proportion of inner-city children often miss classes. C. Many students are dissatisfied with their teachers. D. Students performance has a lot to do with teachers. 68.Why does the author say the Chicago unions' demand is an insult to students? A. It protects incompetent teachers at the expense of students. B. It underestimates students' ability to tell good teachers from poor ones. C. It makes students feel that they are discriminated against in many ways. D. It totally ignores students' initiative in the learning process. 第?卷(非选择题) 第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题，毎小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单 词。注意:请将答案写在答题卷上相应的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。 A new study by Lynne Vincent and Maryam Kouchaki demonstrates that believing that you are a creative person can create feelings of entitlement (权利)when you think that creativity is rare and valuable. That feeling of entitlement can be costly for you and your organization as it can cause you to be dishonest. Many organizations now are recognizing the importance of creativity and are attempting to encourage their employees to be creative. However t there is a cost to that creativity when creativity is seen as a rare and unique attribute (属性). The findings in this study are based on several laboratory experiments, in addition to a study of employees and supervisor pairs. While creativity is in most cases valued, such as other positive attributes, including practicality or intelligence，it may be over-valued compared to those other positive attributes because creativity is by definition (本质上)rare. That sense of rarity then creates a sense of entitlement People see their creative efforts as special and valuable and feel that they are worthy of extra rewards for their creative efforts. That entitlement can cause them to steal in order to get the rewards. However, it is naive to assume that employees in companies that have developed a strong identity as creative, such as Apple，Google, and 1DEO, would be necessarily more dishonest due to their creativity, “The key to the relationship between creativity and dishonesty is the sense of rarity，”said Vincent. uWhen individuals identified themselves as creative and believed that creativity was rare, entitlement appeared. However, if individuals believed that creativity was common, that sense of entitlement was reduced.” When people in the laboratory experiments believed that their creativity was rare compared to common, they were more likely to lie for money. However, when people believed that being practical was rare compared to common, the increased sense of psychological enlitlement and dishonesty did not occur. The effect was seen in organizations too. Although creativity is important in the business world，the dark side of creativity has only partly studied. However, as creativity is becoming more nt for organizations, it is important for organizations to understand how importa to encourage creativity. Encouraging creativity in organizations is not as simple as telling employees to be creative. Defining what it means to be creative and what creativity means ill dial context is important. When people define creativity in terms of being rare and valuable, seeing yourself as a creative person ran cause entitlement and dishonesty. However, if organizations define creativity as a common and everyday behavior or an attribute that many people can have，organizations. may be able to encourage employee creativity without encouraging employee dishonesty.
