TravelBOnce there was a boy who always sat and talked in his math class, and seemed disconnected in group activities. Most teachers would immediately think of him as a problem student.However, Anna was different. She believed the student was above average in other areas so she created a strategy to find out.Anna didn’t tell the parents. Instead she organized a handful of activities in the class to get more information. In place of calling out for volunteers in class she created a competition for each Friday: Girls vs. Boys.The first week the class was totally enthusiastic. Everyone wanted to win. Even the boy had his hand up the whole time trying to get a turn. Yet, Anna waited, and waited, and waited. Finally the wise teacher paired the boy with the most hardworking girl student in class. Now the two teams had a close score, all the students sat back eager to see the result. As the teacher placed the question on the board, most of the students began to shake their heads: This was a question they had never covered in class.“Go!” the teacher yelled. Both students started doing it slowly thinking of how to solve the difficult question. Their classmates, full of excitement, shouted, “Hurry, hurry, hurry!” The boy finished it just seconds before the girl and raised his arms, “I won!” Almost nobody could believe the student they admired failed until Anna confirmed (确认) the result.This was what Anna tried to get---it turned out that the student wasn’t bad,he was bored.25.Why did the boy always talk and seem disconnected in group activities?A. He couldn’t behave well in class.B. He couldn’t get along well with his classmates.C. He found nothing in class challenging for him.D. He found the teacher and classmates were boring.26. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The boy’s winning made boys’ team beat girls’ team.B. Anna paired the boy and the most hardworking girl on purpose.C. Anna was sure that the boy could win the competition.D. Students were surprised and annoyed at the girl’s failure.27. It is implied in the passage that _____________.A. poorly-behaved students are usually problem studentsB. teachers always play a key role in the development of studentsC. students tend to behave poorly to gain more attention from othersD. finding hidden abilities is not always easy but the result can be magical28. Which words can be used to describe Anna?A. unique and cheerfulB. experienced and devotedC. creative and wiseD. helpful and encouragingCFrom Mozart to Metallica, tons of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write or draw. Many people believe that music helps creativity (创造力), but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that opinion.Psychologists from Lancaster University, The University of Gavle, and The University of Central Lancashire say that their findings indicate music harms creativity.To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants (参与者) complete verbal insight problems used to encourage creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music was played in the background. They found that backgroundmusic greatly harmed the participants’ ability to complete tasks related to verbal creativity.The research team also tested background noises such as those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no effect on participants’ creativity.The tasks were simple word games. For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, dial and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word related to all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be ”sun” (sundress, sunflower, etc).Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while listening to three different types of music: unfamiliar music with unfamiliar lyrics(歌词), instrumental music, or music with familiar lyrics.“We found strong evidence of worse performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author Dr. Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University.Dr. McLatchie and his colleagues found that music disturbs the verbal working memory processes of the brain, harming creativity. Also, as to the library background noises having seemingly no effect, they believe it was because library noises create a “steady state” environment that doesn’t affect concentration. Even familiar music with well-known lyrics harmed participants’ creativity, even although it may cause a positive reaction.“To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music helps creativity, and instead prove that music affects creative performance in insight problem solving whether it contains lyrics, familiar lyrics or unfamiliar lyrics.”29.It can be learned from the research that ______________.A.a quiet environment is good for creativityB.library background music has no effect on creativityC.listening to music can encourage creativityD.familiar music helps people concentrate on work30.How is the research done?A. By giving examplesB. By making comparisonsC. By explaining reasonsD. By listing numbers31. Which of the following is the best title?A. Music and creativityB. Turn down musicC. What music to chooseD. Work with musicDYou’ve just graduated from business school and you feel like the world is your oyster, only to find that job offers aren’t knocking down your door as expected, making MBAs wonder why they’re not getting hired. This can be disheartening. Many MBA graduates unknowingly show signs that they are not the best fit for the job. Once you know what these common mistakes are, you can put your MBA skills to use and then you may get the job you’ve been looking for.Employers(老板) feel more comfortable hiring MBAs with experience because there is less need for training. Many MBAs mistakenly apply for jobs which need more experience than they have. Employers want graduates who can prove their ability to help their business succeed. Show that you can help the company by providing examples of such experience.MBAs often have great resumes(简历), but then ruin the interview with improper behavior. It’s necessary to behave yourself, dress properly, and not seem cocky, bored, or disinterested in the company. A little enthusiasm(热情) won’t hurt you, so be sure to show your passion for your work.Another mistake you may be making unknowingly is how you show yourself online. Don’t think that employers aren’t interested in your online information. Many employers now use social networking sites and online searches to check up on possible hires. Improper photos and information are huge red flags to employers. Make sure to remove any photos, content, or links that can work against you in an employer’s eyes.Don’t forget that __________________ when it comes to finding a great MBA job. Earning your MBA was a huge achievement, but there’s always room for improvement.Ask your classmates, family, and even past co-workers or managers for advice. Do mock(模拟) interviews to help reduce any nervousness and gain a better idea of how you’d like to show yourself. With a few small chang es to your resume and the way you communicate with others, you’ll be hearing “you’re hired” in no time!32.What does the underlined part mean?A.
