More than 400 students in New York City took part in it. The students were divided into three groups. Group 1 read a typical textbook that describes the achievements of great Scientists. Group 2 read about those scientists personal struggles. For example, as a Jew, Einstein escaped from Nazi Germany to avoid being killed. Group 3 read about the scientists’ intellectual struggles, such as Marie Curie’s failed experiments. These stories about struggles also told students how the scientists dealt with these problems.The students took a science test before the study. After the six-week study, they took another. Scientists found those in Groups 2 and 3 improved their science grades. Students in Group 1 didn’t see a grade increase. Some of them even had lower grades after the study.The study was led by Xiaodong Lin Siegler, a professor. According to Xiaodong, kids often think Einstein was born a genius. They believe they will never match him. Many of them fail to realize that any success requires a long journey. Along the way, there are many failures. Students who read the struggle stories were more likely to say great scientists were like themselves. The “great minds” also had to solve problems to achieve success.Xiaodong says today’s science textbooks fail to bring science to life. As a result, students hardly consider science as part of their everyday lives. Instead, they just see a long list of facts that they have to remember. Xiaodong thinks textbooks should include more stories about how great scientists had to struggle to succeed. And they should pay more attention to how these scientists responded to the problems they met along the way.1.According to the passage, we can improve our physics and chemistry grades by ________.A.reading the achievements of great scientists more carefullyB.listening more carefully to our physics and chemistry teachersC.learning about the difficulties that great scientists once experiencedD.spending more time remembering the lists of facts in our science textbooks2.Who took part in the study held by the American Psychological AssociationA.Students who went to schools in New York City.B.Students who Studied in secondary school.C.Students who were interested in physics and chemistry.D.Students who were poor at physics and chemistry grades.3.According to the last paragraph, Xiaodong thinks that ________.A.Today’s science textbooks bring much science to lifeB.Students should study harder to become a great scientist.C.Students only need to remember a long list of facts.D.It is meaningful to learn how scientists struggle to succeed.4.Where can we probably find this passageA.A novel.B.A fashion magazine.C.A story book.D.An education website.三、阅读并回答问题，每小题答案不超过6个单词On March 14, one of science’s brightest stars went dark. Stephen Hawking, the world-famous British scientist, died at 76 in Cambridge, the UK.Hawking is considered by many to be the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory that the universe began with the Big Bang (大爆炸) and would end in black holes. His theories became the base for a lot of later research. He also wrote books to help common people understand the universe. His most famous book is A Brief History Of Time, which has sold more than 25 million copies around the world.Besides his scientific achievements, Hawking was also someone who had a strong will and optimistic attitude. When Hawking was 21, he was diagnosed with a serious illness that stopped him from walking and talking. Later in life, he had to sit in a wheelchair and “speak” by using a computerized voice. But this didn’t stop him from living a meaningfuland colourful life. “If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically disabled as well,” he once said.Hawking travelled around the world to attend science conferences, visiting every continent, including Antarctica (南极洲). He was also a fan of pop culture and appeared on TV shows such as Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory.He celebrated his 60th birthday by going up in a hot-air balloon. When he was 65, he took part in a zero-gravity flight to experience weightlessness. He hoped to travel into space one day. In 2013, Hawking spoke about how he felt life was unfair when he was first diagnosed with his illness. “But now, 50 years later, I can be quite satisfied with my life,” he said.What does Hawking think the universe began withWhat happened to Hawking because of the serious illnessHow many continents has Hawking visited in his lifeWhere did Hawking celebrate his sixtieth birthdayWhat can you learn from Hawking四、选词填空either as a result require patient mindThe aim of students who came to school is to study.
