17、career in the Countryside. Located deep in the mountains, the village was struck by poverty. Despite all challenges, Yuan believes that it was a precious experience growing up among his students. “I did not come here on a whim. I love teaching from the bottom of my heart,” says Yuan, who teaches a v
18、ariety of courses, including history, geography and music, in different primary and middle schools in Enshi.“Since I was a high school student, Ive dreamed of being a volunteer teacher. Different from the traditional teaching style, I feel there is another way, and I hope to have the opportunity to
19、put my ideas into practice,” he says, adding that his teaching may have a greater impact on students living in mountain villages with limited education resources. “Spreading joy and knowledge among others makes me feel satisfied. Living in the woods, I seemed to have reached a deep understanding wit
20、h nature, and discovered the essence of life,” he says. When Yuan first started teaching he visited every students family on the weekends. “Most of them were left-behind children, and some were from single-parent families,” says Yuan. He decided to help the children with their studies by developing
21、good habits. “In such cases, its important to help them build up their confidence,” says Yuan. To achieve that goal, Yuan designed a lot of activity-based courses, encouraging children to express themselves more confidently. Yuans unique teaching methods became more popular in the county, and other
22、schools invited him to deliver lectures. “I think Im living a happy life,” he said in one of his lectures.Over the past years, Yuan has won many national honors. “I think they are a result of my devotion.

25、l.7. Which of the following can best describe Yuan Hui?A. Devoted and creative.B. Critical and rigid.C. Odd and intelligent.D. Mild and ambitious.CDoes adversity (逆境) warm hearts or harden them? Recently, my graduate student Daniel and I set out to explore the relationship between adversity and comp
26、assion (同情). We conducted a study online and reached more than 200 people from all walks of life. After asking them about the hardships they faced and how often they experienced compassion, we offered them the chance to donate some of the money they were about to be paid for taking part in the study
27、 to help people in need. The result showed that those who had faced serious adversities in life feel more compassion for suffering people. And as a result, they donated more money. Now, if experiencing any type of hardship can make a person more compassionate, you might assume that the compassion wo
28、uld be reached when someone has experienced the exact misfortune that another person is facing. Interestingly, this turns out to be dead wrong. In an article recently published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, the Kellogg School of Management professor Loran Nordgren and his team
29、 found that the human mind refuses to work as usual when it comes to remembering its own past hardships: it regularly makes them appear to be less painful than they actually were. Therefore, recalling a bad experience in your own past may make you underestimate (低估) the difficulty of others challeng
30、es. You overcame it, you think; so should he. The result? You lack compassion. Our findings, taken together with those of Professor Nordgren and his team, are that living through hardships doesnt either warm hearts or harden them; it does both. Knowing suffering in life usually enhances the compassi
31、on we feel for others, except when the suffering involves specific painful events that we know all too well.8. Which of the following is TRUE about the authors study?A. Those attending it had to pay for it.B. Those attending it were asked questions only.C. It is meant to encourage people to help tho
32、se in need.D. It tries to reveal the relationship between adversity and compassion.9. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Peoples compassion for suffering people.B. Peoples understanding of others misfortune.C. The findings of Loran Nordgren and his team.D. The assumption
33、 that shared misfortune may lead to compassion.10. What did Professor Nordgren and his team find?A. Hardships make people lost in sad memories.B. Hardships lead to peoples lack of compassion.C. People tend to remember their hardships easily.D. People suffering from adversity are easy to break down.1
34、1. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. The way to overcome adversity.B. The funny thing about adversity.C. The hidden benefits of adversity.D. Lessons people learn from adversity.D“Innovation,” Matt Ridley tells us at the start of his new book, How Innovation Works, “is the
35、most important factor about the modern world, but one of the least well understood.” After decades of careful study, were still not completely sure about innovations causes or how it can best be developed. In this book, he is trying to make the “great puzzle” easier to understand. In the first half
36、of his book, we visit with the early developers of the steam engine, knowing the events leading to the Wright brothers first flight, and hear about the stories about inventors and their inventions. In the second half of his book, he looks closely, chapter by chapter, at the factors that shape innova
37、tions. Ridleys most important chapters are where he calls attention to the process of making new things. Innovation, he tells us, is usually a step-by-step journey. This was the case with Thomas Edison, who, as Ridley notes, tried 6, 000 different materials for his electric light. At Ridleys conclus
38、ion, he tells us the innovation “is the child of freedom and the parent of good life”. But it is unclear why the human desire to move forward is now in the crisis of being abandoned. It seems more realistic to believe that seeking innovation will be just fine, as long as we keep encouraging men and
39、women who are trying to solve important problems. And we dont necessarily have to create an idea to explain what may be happening. For example, our scientists and engineers are now working around the clock and around the world to fight off the COVID-19. They are solving a big problem with lots of fu

43、e by innovating.B. We will face crisis if we never innovate.C Innovation is to solve all important problems.D.
