• 11．1、How to feel more affection for 'very annoying' 14-year-old son
      Hi Carolyn：I have two children who are both fundamentally good kids.But one is a very，very cute 10-year-old daughter and the other is a very，very annoying 14-vear-old son.One is cuddly and sweet and funny.The other is only rarely cuddly or sweet，funny but snarky （言辭尖刻的） and seems to adore one thing：contradicting every statement I make.
      I know this is normal teenage behavior，but right now.I feel only annoyance toward him.And then I feel guilty，because I think he can sense the difference.What can I do？
      –Annoyed Hi Annoyed：As you know - and as you've sensed in his sensing the difference-he still needs you around and wants your approval.The surly （脾氣壞的） stuff isn't everything.There's an interesting person developing in there.The cute-caterpillar （毛毛蟲） stage was always going to be temporary.Be the person who sees him grow and transform into a butterfly，and delight in it.
      Readers' thoughts：
      ?Been there.Survived.One action I took：I hugged him every day.Whether I wanted to or not.
      —Linda ?Teens want to be seen as adults.Appreciate his desire to be independent and praise him when he is.
      —David ?I recently saw a social media post that said： "You think you've got it bad？Some people are 18. "He has to survive being a teenager.Please be kind to him.

• 12．Teaching is a constant process of upgrade，where every moment you learn new things，not only as a teacher，but also as a human being.
      At the start of my career，I believe I should come across to my students as a 'no-nonsense' type of person.My entire focus was towards maintaining classroom discipline （紀(jì)律）.It was tough.Most of my Indian students were from a rural background.They would intentionally use vocabulary that sounded Greek to me.They did all in their power to make me feel like a fish out of water.
      My last lecture ended at 9.30 in the afternoon.Some of the students approached me begging to let them leave 15 minutes early as they had a bus to catch.My permission resulted in a stir and restlessness as half of the class stood up to leave.They all had buses to catch!Unable to distinguish between the genuine ones and those faking it，I put a ban on anybody leaving before time.
      One evening，I spotted three boys from my last class at the bus stop.I called out， "You constantly blame me for not allowing you to leave early because you have a bus to catch and here you are still hanging around at 5 pm!" One of the boys replied respectfully and humbly， "Madam，the bus leaves at 2：10.If we leave the class at 2：15，we are able to make it.In case we miss it，the next bus to our village comes after three hours.Now we are waiting for it.At this hour，the bus will be overloaded and we will not even get a seat."
      I was full of remorse （懊悔）.The next day，I asked all the students who had a bus to catch to write an application，get it signed and leave whenever they wanted，without seeking my permission.I learnt the first lesson of my life as a teacher — learn to empathize （共鳴） with your students，for they would learn better from you when they respect you than when they fear you.
  
  （1）What gave the author the biggest headache when she started teaching？

  
  A．Her students' serious violent behavior.
  B．Her inability to understand Greek words.
  C．Her struggle to keep her classes in order.
  D．Her students' diverse educational backgrounds.
  （2）How did the author deal with the students' request to leave before time at first？

  
  A．She took it seriously.
  B．She approved it instantly.
  C．She rejected it completely.
  D．She processed it gracefully.
  （3）How did the author feel the moment she spotted the three boys at the bus stop？

  
  A．Embarrassed.

  D．Annoyed.
  （4）What advice would the author give to her fellow teachers by sharing the story？

  
  A．Show students that you respect them.

  C．Cooperate with students to promote learning.

• 13．It was a method favoured by the inventor Thomas Edison and the artist Salvador Dali.Waking from a nap exactly at the point before deep sleep in an effort to inspire creativity.
      Edison held a metal ball in his hand so that if he nodded off he would drop it and the sound would wake him.For Dali，it was a key landing on a plate.Now scientists have found that they might have been onto something.
      Researchers at the Paris Brain Institute studied people's ability to find a hidden rule in a maths puzzle.Identifying the trick would make solving the problem far simpler but to do so required thinking creatively.The scientists found that participants who had been woken just before falling into a deep sleep，using a technique like that used by Edison and Dali，were more likely to find the shortcut.
      This "twilight zone" is known as non-rapid eye movement sleep stage 1，or N _____ Scientists described it like an exaggerated form of mind-wandering，where dream-like thoughts fill the mind.It is thought that as people start to disengage （脫離） from their environment they can "freely watch their minds wander，while maintaining their ability to identify creative sparks （火花）".
      For the study 103 people were given a maths problem to solve.To reach the final answer they had to apply the rules step by step but，unknown to them，a "hidden rule" would allow them to bypass most of the steps and get to the solution much more quickly.The results showed that 83 percent of those in the N1 group had found the shortcut，compared with 31 percent in the group who were awake and 14 percent of those in a deep sleep.
      Researchers conclude that the brain activity common to the twilight zone between sleep and wakefulness set off creative sparks. "Although the neural mechanisms （神經(jīng)機(jī)制） involved are not yet known，our findings suggest that there is a creative sweet spot within the twilight zone，" said Dr Thomas Andrillon，co-author of the study.
  
  （1）Why did the author mention "a metal ball" and "a key" in Paragraph 2？

  
  A．To clarify a method.
  B．To explain a theory.
  C．To present a concept.
  D．To make a comparison.
  （2）What can we learn about "the twilight zone" from the text？

  
  A．It prevents your mind from wandering.
  B．It determines what your dreams will be like.
  C．It is known as rapid eye movement sleep stage.
  D．It is a state of being half asleep and half awake.
  （3）What does "the shortcut" in Paragraph 5 refer to？

  
  A．The maths problem.
  B．The final answer.
  C．The hidden rule.
  D．The added step.
  （4）What attitude may Dr Thomas Andrillon hold to the technique used by Edison and Dali？

  
  A．Doubtful.
  B．Critical.
  C．Indifferent.
  D．Favorable.

• 14．Female birds sing，too，but scientists tend to tune in to male birdsong and ignore female songs.It highlights a long-standing bias （偏見） and helps us think about why that bias persists （持續(xù)）.
      Since the beginning of modern birdsong research，the field has focused on male songbirds.Any serious birder could tell you that females do sing，sometimes as frequently as males.However，early birdsong researchers tended to be men.Men are significantly less likely than women to lead research projects studying female songs.Thus，we are missing key behaviors as a result of historical biases caused by a lack of diverse participation in science.
      So how do we make science welcoming and accessible for all？We need to communicate better with nonscientists.Engaging the public in science is essential for basic science findings that influence how we perceive the world around us.
      For example，understanding that female birds do sing matters not only to scientists but also to the billions of people who hear the sounds of wild birds every day.In many species，males and females look similar from a distance，but can be distinguished by ear.Paying close attention to which sounds each sex makes and thinking about why they might be producing them opens up a richer window into the environment around us.It turns out female birds use songs for all the same reasons male birds do：to signal individual identity，defend valuable territories and attract potential mates.
      Public awareness of female birdsong has the potential to change the science itself.Apps like eBird collect millions of public observations and audio recordings of birds every year.Increasing public engagement and involvement with research promises to benefit the scientific community and society more broadly.In many cases，scientists and experts already have strongly held biases about the way the world works，and these biases allow mistaken conclusions to persist.Public observers often make better observers of the world around them because they lack preconceived ideas.
      Female birds sing!We welcome a future where research and communication combine to improve our understanding of the world around us and deepen our connections to each other and the natural world.
  
  （1）What does the second paragraph mainly talk about？

  
  A．Who is to blame for the long-standing bias.
  B．Why female birdsong is long ignored by scientists.
  C．What contributes to diverse participation in science.
  D．How men have conducted modern birdsong research.
  （2）Why is it important for us to be aware of female birdsong？

  
  A．It will enable us to become real scientists.
  B．It will help us distinguish bird species by ear.
  C．It will expand our understanding of the world.
  D．It will make advanced science accessible for all.
  （3）What does the underlined word "preconceived" mean in Paragraph 5？

  
  A．Biased.
  B．Creative.
  C．Mistaken.
  D．Varied.
  （4）Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．Why we Didn't Know That Female Birds Sing？
  B．Advancing Science：How Bias Leads Us Forward
  C．New Research Has Found Female Birds Sing Too!
  D．A Case Study of Gender Bias in Science Reporting

• 15．How to Set New Year's Resolutions That Stick
      Some people love the tradition of setting a goal each January （1）

  If you want to improve your chances of sticking to your 2022 New Year's resolution，scientists suggest you choose a goal that's concrete and achievable.Here are more science-based tips for you.
      Consider a penalty clause （懲罰條款）.
      This may sound upsetting，but can work wonders. （2）

  Then you'll feel ashamed if they check back later and find out you haven't followed through.You can also make a bet with a friend that you'll stick to your resolution or pay.The truth behind is that penalties are even more motivating than rewards.
      Make it fun.
      If you want to be a straight-A student，you probably assume long，distraction-free study sessions （時(shí)段） are key. （3）

  Research has shown that if you get pleasure，you'll persist longer.One way to make pursuing a goal more fun is to combine it with a guilty pleasure.Consider，for example，only letting yourself drink your favorite coffee during a study session.Then there is a hook to get you to the library.
       Allow for emergencies.
      You planned to get to bed early every night but couldn't resist staying up late one Friday.After that，your early-to-bed plans went out the window because "what the hell，" you'd already failed.Researchers call this the "what the hell effect." （4）

  By setting tough goals but giving yourself one or two get-out-of-jail-free cards each week，you can get better results.
      （5）

  
      Spending time around high achievers can improve your own performance.You'll pick up a bit because you tend to follow their patterns of behavior.Strangely enough，there is evidence that coaching （輔導(dǎo)） friends with shared goals can improve your success rate，too.
  
  A.Get a little help from your friends.
  B.Tell a few friends about your goal.
  C.Happily，there is a way out of this trap.
  D.The logic for why this works is simple.
  E.There are various games that make learning fun.
  F.But if it's not fun to study，you're unlikely to keep at it.
  G.Others argue it's a waste of time since most resolutions fail.

He went to investigate.That's when he heard two women and a girl screaming for help on their porch （門廊）.
      "The baby's in there!" one of the women cried.Though the fire department had been called，Surrell，then 64，immediately ran inside. "The baby" was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts，the woman's granddaughter and a playmate of Surrell's three youngest kids，then 8，10 and 12.The other two on the porch were Tiara's aunt and cousin.
      Entering the burning house was like running into a bucket of black paint.The thick smoke caused him to stumble blindly around，burned his eyes，and made it impossible to breathe.The conditions would have been dangerous for anyone，but for Surrell，who had a lung disease，they were life-threatening.
