Autumn means different things to different people. “It all depends on your personality,” said British naturalist Richard Mabey. “Personality shapes your view of the season,” he said. “You may see it as a fading-away,a packing-up (結(jié)束),or as a time of packing in another sense—the exciting gathering of resources before a long journey.”
If this is true,perhaps it tells us a little about,for instance,Thomas Hood,the 19th Century English poet. About November,he wrote:
No warmth,no cheerfulness,no healthful ease
No shade,no shine,no butterflies,no bees
November!
On the other hand,another English poet John Keats,already sensing he was seriously ill,was inspired by a late September day to pen one of the most famous poems in the English language—To Autumn. He wrote to a friend afterwards that there was something comforting and healing about it.
According to Richard Mabey,Keats has the biological evidence on his side. Autumn is not a time of slowing down,but a time of new beginnings and great movements of creatures. For example,just at the moment that Keats's “gathering swallows” (in To Autumn)are departing for Africa,millions of creatures are fleeing from the frozen north like Iceland,Greenland and Russia to winter along the east and south coasts of Britain. According to scientists,before falling,the leaves transfer their chlorophyll(葉綠素) and carbohydrates into the woody parts of the tree for safe keeping over winter. What remains is the natural antioxidants (防老劑) in the leaves: the yellow and orange carotenoids (類胡蘿卜素),and another protective chemical specially produced for autumn,the bright-red anthocyanin (花青素).High colour is not a signal of deterioration (退化) and decline,but of detox (排毒的) ability and good health.
A century after Keats,the American poet Loren Eiseley wrote in his journal: “Suppose we saw ourselves burning-like maples in a golden autumn. And that we could break up like autumn leaves...dropping their substance like chlorophyll. Wouldn't our attitude towards death be different?”
1.From Thomas Hood's poem,we may infer that ________.
A.he suffered a lot from cold November
B.he missed the shining summer days very much
C.he had a negative attitude towards autumn
D.he enjoyed butterflies and bees very much
2.In autumn,leaves turn yellow before falling because ________.
A.they can't bear the freezing
B.they can't get enough water from the wood part
C.chlorophyll and carbohydrates have been lost through leaves
D.chlorophyll and carbohydrates have come back to the wood part
3.From the passage we can learn that ________.
A.a(chǎn)utumn has different faces in different people's eyes
B.John Keats was a good biologist as well as a poet
C.a(chǎn)ll creatures move from the cold north to Britain for winter
D.the three poets were only known for their poems about autumn
4.Which word can best describe Loren Eiseley's attitude towards autumn?
A.Fearful.B.Optimistic.C.Doubtful.D.Realistic.

“Mobile phones killed our man,”screamed one headline last year.Also came statements that an unpublished study had found that mobile phones cause memory loss. And a British newspaper devoted its front page to a picture supposedly showing how mobile phones heat the brain.For anyone who uses a mobile phone,these are worring times.But speak to the scientists whose work is the focus of these scared and you will hear a different story.
What we do have,however,are some results suggesting that mobile phones’emission(輻射) have a variety of strange effects on living tissue that can’t be explained by the general radiation biology.And it’s only when the questions raised by these experiments are answered that we’ll be able to say for sure what moblie phones might be doing to the brain.
One of the strange effects comes from the now famous “memory loss” study Alan Preece and his colleagues at the University of Bristol placed a device(裝置) that copied the microwave emission of mobile phones to the left ear of volunteers.The volunteers were all good at recalling words and pictures they had been shown on a computer screen.Preece says he still can’t comment on the effects of using a mobile phone for years on end.But he rules out the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our cognitive(感知的) abilities.“I’m pretty sure there is no effect on short-term memory,”he says.
Another expert,Tatterasll,remarked that his latest findings have removed fears about memory loss.One result,for instance,suggests that nerve cell synapses(神經(jīng)元突觸) exposed to microwaves become more—rather than less—receptive to under—going changes linked to the memory formation.
It would be an even happier outcome if microwave turned out to be good for you.It sounds crazy,but a couple of years ago a team led by William Adey at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in California,found that mice exposed to microwave for two hours a day were less likely to develop brain tumours(腫瘤) when given a cancer—causing chemical.
So should we forget about mobile phone radiation causing brain tumours and making us unable to think clearly or reasonably?
“If it doesn’t certainly cause cancer in animals and cells, then it probably isn’t going to cause cancer in humans,”says William.And while there’s still no absolute evidence that mobile phone does damage your memories or give your cancer,the unanimity is:Don’t panic.
1.What worries people who use mobile phones?
A. Mobile phones will kill them.
B. Mobile phones cause memory loss.
C. Mobile phones heat the brain.
D. All above is right.
2.What is the attitude of Preece on the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our congnitive abilities?
A. Doubt.B. Disagree.C. Approve.D. Wait and see.
3.The underlined word “unanimity” in the last paragraph most probably means “________”.
A. consensusB. disagreementC. possibilityD. impossibility
4.From the fifth paragraph,we can infer that being exposed to microwaves for two hours ________.
A. can result in killing you
B. is likely to develop brain tumours
C. is unlikely to develop brain tumours
D. will cause your loss of memory for ever

Fixed or growth mindset — which do you have?
We live in an uncertain world with all the technological advances we are experiencing, which meanse is a requirement for a change in midset (思維模式). In order to be on top of our game both personally and organizationally, we need to develop a growth mindset.
A fixed mindset supposes that you have native abilities and are naturally clever or skilled in certain areas of life. When you receive infonnation about how you have performed in a test or set of tasks t you may worry about how you are judged. Our parents probably said to us when we were young,"Since you scored really well in the test, you must be clever." However, by being repeatedly told “You arc clever” or “You are really ga*al al your job”,a person’s self-respect is actually dainagcd.
The growlh - mindest persona view life as a series of exciting challenges and want t o constantly learn. Brain activity occurs in this mindset when they receive information about what they could do belter or improve. They do not view their abilities as fixed or us failure. Learning is king and the more they practice , the more they know they will succeed.
What is important is giving praise around process and not around ability. For example , instead of saying"Since you got a great score, you must be clever" f say " You got a great score, and you must have tried really hard". This creates challenge in indivicluats and
The meaning of mindsets is massive for business. Fixed-mindset managers are not fans of giving feedback (反饋). They do not want to stretch themselves or others because they fear failure. Therefore their business may stand still because there is no risk or innovation (創(chuàng)新) occurring.
Listen from your own fixed mindset 一 for example ," I can't do that” 一 and answer with a growth-mindset response 一 “I can't do that yet!" Remember there is no such thing as failure and there is s only learning. If you don't fail occasionally ,you will never learn to change and grow.
1.What is the author's opinion of people' s mindsets?
A. A growth mindstet means no failure.
B. People need develop a fixed mindset.
C. A fixed mindset focuses more on process.
D. People should develop a growth mindest.
2.Which judgment seems more encouraging?
A. You are clever.
B. You are skillful.
C. You have worked hard.
D. You arc great at your job.
3.What do the growth-mindset persons most advocate?
A. Keeping on learning.
B. Viewing ability as failure.
C. Giving praise around ability.
D. Learning from the fixed mindset.
4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Always stay in ihe same mindset
B. Think and act in different mindsets.
C. We can 't miss the chance of failure.
D. Learning is the key to success from failure.

AC/DC have postponed their US tour after singer Brian Johnson was warned by doctors that he was at risk of “total hearing loss”. This is unsurprising, given the decades that the Australian band has been pumping out the hard rock decibels(分貝). But deafness isn’t only a concern for rock musicians. In recent years it has become clear that anyone around music a lot has reason to be equally worried.
When exposed to music, risk to hearing arises from a combination of how loud the sound is and how long you’re exposed to it. If you visit a nightclub that is thumping out (響亮地奏出) music on the dance floor at 100 dB, then after only 10-15 minutes the exposure is potentially damaging. In a quieter part of the club, but where the music is still loud enough that you have to shout at your friends, then you could be there for a couple of hours before having to worry about your hearing. Of course music frequently exceeds(超過) 80-85 dB, but what counts most in assessing the risk to hearing is the average exposure.
Exposure to high noise levels often causes temporary deafness — something many people have experienced after going to a nightclub. While hearing usually recovers after a few hours or days, repeated loud exposure leads to permanent hearing damage. Initially, this damage is subtle and unlikely to be noticed by the listener. Problems only becomes significant in middle age when the noise-induced hearing loss combines with the natural loss of hearing due to ageing.
Improved technology means that the number of musicians having to give up performing could decrease, but student musicians need to be educated about the dangers of noise-caused hearing loss. The increasing use of headphones will also work against this — for musicians and everyone else. Unless people are careful with the volume(音量) level on their portable music players, hearing loss caused by music will increase.

A. Musicians tend to be victims of music.
B. It is helpful to check hearing regularly.
C. Being with music isn’t necessarily beneficial.
D. Deafness has become musicians’ major concern.
2.What’s the most important factor considered in the assessment of risk music has to hearing?
A. Its decibel.
B. The average exposure.
C. Its playing environment.
D. The listener’s sensitivity to sound.
3.People who go to nightclubs frequently tend to ________.
A. suffer from temporary headache
B. have their hearing damaged forever
C. experience natural hearing loss earlier
D. have a clear sense of their hearing damage
4.Which of the following best reflects the author’s opinion?
A. Improving technology can prevent hearing damage.

Do you find it hard to memorize words? You must not be the only one. It could be 1.(help) if you say the words aloud. But this often isn’t good in a quiet classroom.
Now, researchers from the University of Waterloo, Canada, have come up 2.a new idea. They suggest 3.(draw) a picture of what you are trying to memorize!
The researchers did a study 4.(base) on the idea. They first gave a group of students some words such as “apple” or “balloon”. Then they gave the students 40 seconds, during 5.the students could either write the words again and again, or draw a picture.
When the time 6.(be) over, the researchers asked the students to do something else, like sing a song. After that, they gave the students 60 seconds to write down as many words 7.they could remember. The results showed that those who drew the words did a much 8.(good) job than those who wrote them.
So the next time you are having a hard time memorizing a word, 9.(draw) it! No worries if you’re not good at drawing. The 10.(research) say the quality of the drawing doesn’t matter at all.
