A
“Why do I feel cold when I have a fever?” “Why does the sun rise in the east?” I knew the day would come
when my little girl Sophie would learn to talk and inevitably (不可避免地) start askingthose questions. The
questions themselves weren’t worrying me. I was actually looking forward to seeing where her curiosity would lie.
What was bothering (烦恼) me was whether or not I would know the answers. In the age of the smartphone,
this may seem like a silly worry. The answers to almost everything would be just one Google away.
Still, I struggled with how I was going to prepare to become an all-knowing mother. Then one day, it struck
me: I didn’t need to have all the answers. What a great example I could set if I let my daughter know that I, too,
was still learning. And I realized how much more I could learn if I took another look at things I thought I already
knew the answer to with the curiosity of a child. My little girl’s mind is a beginner’s mind--- curious, open to new
ideas, eager to learn, and not based on knowledge that already exists. I decided that I would deal with her
questions with a beginner’s mind, too.
Once I decided to become more curious, I started noticing that curiosity was becoming more important in the
workplace, too. It seems that leaders don't need to have all the answers, but they do need to be curious.
Curious about curiosity, I searched for answers and found Albert Einstein’s famous words, “I have no special
talent. I am only passionately (热情地) curious.” We mightquibble overthe view that Einstein had no special talent,
but there is one thing for certain---he wouldn't have solved the puzzles of the universe without his passionate
curiosity. Then I came across another Einstein quote, “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has
its own reason or existence.”
1. The advantage of having a beginner’s mind is that ________.
A. people can learn much faster.
B. people won't be afraid to make mistakes.
C. people are willing to receive new things.
D. people won't be expected to answer all questions.
2. What does the example of Einstein’s words show?
A. Einstein was passionate about curiosity. B. Einstein’s quotes are very famous.
C. Curiosity is of great significance.
D. Curiosity is more necessary than talent.
3. What does the underlined phrase “quibble over” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Fight against. B. Argue about.
C. Work out. D. Agree with
B
Not long after the first fitness magazine was published, a list probably followed soon after, ranking the best
fitness equipment. This tradition has continued, with the implied message: usethisand exercise willbe yours.
And that's part of the problem, says Dr. Lieberman, a professor of Harvard University. There isn't one “best”
anything to achieve fitness. Besides, people understand exercise is good for them. Knowledge about exercise still
doesn't motivate.
Before you can answer why, it helps to look at history. Before the Industrial Revolution, people fetched water
and walked up stairs because they had to. But then technology made life and work easier. Exercise has become
something that people have to carve out time for. “It's a fundamental instinct to avoid physical activity when it's
neither necessary nor rewarding,” he says.
It would seem like being healthy would qualify as necessary, but a doctor's prescription to exercise “can make
it like taking cod liver oil,” Lieberman says. “Sometimes it works, but more often than not, it doesn't. And it's still
coming across as an order, and “not having a heart attack in five years is not an immediate reward,” says Dr. Beth
Frates, assistant professor at Harvard Medical School.
People might not want to exercise because it's never been enjoyable. Most of us probably have memories of
gym class, not being picked for a team, or being in a fitness center that's filled with in-shape people. The majority
don't feel excited. They feel that exercise isn't for them, but it can be. Coaching people in an empowering and
motivating way can work much better than ordering someone to exercise. It starts with an expanded definition of
what counts as exercise, and an injection of what's rarely used to describe exercise, but is certainly allowed:
namely, fun.
4. What does the underlined “this” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The magazine. B. The tradition.
C. The equipment. D. The message.
5. What can we infer about technology?

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least
one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.
In the library,I found my way into the "Children's Room." I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off
the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a
beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he
was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
Without opening the book—Amos, the Beagle with a Plan ,1 borrowed it from the library for the summer.

Getting your kid to bed at night is seriously one of the most challenging things you'll ever have to do. Most
kids are just so full of energy that they'll tire you out before they're halfway through their store of energy. An easy
thing to calm down your child to get into bed is giving in and allowing some iPad screen time. However, it's really
not a great idea, just like you thought.
Researchers at theArizonaStateUniversityconducted a study with 547 kids between the ages of 7 to 9. Their
parents tracked how much screen time the kids were allowed along with their sleep patterns. The study found
that kids who did not engage in screen time before bed slept for 23 more minutes every week and also went to
