3、th a camera into near space and taken many unusual images of the Earth. Mathew and Asad then spend four months figuring out how to launch their own spacecraft into the space.Travelling to space is expensive for NASA, but Mathew and Asad worked hard to keep their costs down.

12、d physical healthBut the researchers also discovered that if people were highly forgiving of both themselves and others,that characteristic alone almost removed the connection between stress and mental illness“Its almost entirely erasedits zero,”says study author Toussaint.“If you dont have forgivin
13、g tendencies，you feel the immediate effects of stress in a severe wayYou dont have anything to cushion you against that stress”How a forgiving personality protects a person from the influence of severe stress is hard to determineThe researchers infer that people who are more forgiving may adopt bett

19、e refrigerator.I cant say I was surprised.But I was surprised when I was diagnosed with ADHD（多动症）,when I was a junior at Yale.According to a new study, 11% of school-age children have received an ADHD diagnosis, a 16% increase since 2007.And rising diagnoses mean rising treatmentsdrugs like Adderall
20、 are more accessible than ever.However,the consequences of misuse and abuse of these drugs are dangerous.Yet also harmful are the consequences of ADHD undiagnosed,an all-too-common story for women like me,who have symptoms,like disorganization and forgetfulness,which look different from those typica
21、lly expressed in males.Dr.Ellen,author of Understanding Girls with ADHD,has found around 4 million females with ADHD are not diagnosed.

DAlison Malmon was trapping up (完成) the end of her freshman year at the University of Pe
27、nnsylvania, US when she got the news: Her older brother Brian, a student at Columbia University, was suffering from mental illness. Inspired by this, Malmon formed a group at her university to empower (使能够) students to talk openly about mental health. It soon blossomed into a national organization t
28、hat today has more than 450 campus chapters. Leaders with the organization spend their time talking with college students about the pressure that todays young people face. “What you hear often is just a need to be perfect,”said Malmon, “and a need to present oneself as perfect.” And a new study in t
29、he UK proved that this need for perfectionism is simply part of todays society. In the study, two researchers studied more than 40,000 students from the US, Canada, and the UK. They found that what they called“socially prescribed(社会定向型的) perfectionism” increased by a third between 1989 and 2016. Lea
30、d researcher Thomas Curran said that while so many of todays young people try to present a perfect appearance online, social media isnt the only reason behind this trend. Instead, he said, it may be driven by competition in modern society, meaning young people cant avoid being sorted and ranked in b
31、oth education and employment. That comes from new norms(准则) like greater numbers of college students, standardized testing and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success in education. For example, in 1976, half of high school seniors expected to get a college degree of some kind. By 2008, more t
32、han 80 percent expected the same. The researchers also said changes in parenting styles over the last two decades might have had an impact. As parents feel increased pressure to raise successful children, they in turn pass their “achievement anxieties onto their kids through “excessive(过多的) involvem
33、ent in their childs routines, activities or emotions” Those in the mental health community like Malmon say theyre concerned about the impact the culture of perfectionism has on mental health on campuses. “Mental health has truly become this generations social justice issue,”she said.“Its our job to
34、equip them with the tools and to let people know that its not their fault.”13.What is the article mainly about?A.The effects of the culture of perfectionism.B.Research into the trend of perfectionism.C.A group dedicated to helping people stay mentally healthy.D.Various pressures that todays young pe
35、ople are facing.14.What inspired Alison Malmon to start a group related to mental health?A.Her brothers mental illness.B.Her project during the freshman year.C.The pressure she had experienced.D. Her strong interest in mental health.15.What does Malmon think is a way to help young people manage the
36、pressure of perfectionism?A.Enabling them to know what is to blame for their pressure.B.Lowering their expectations of themselves.C.Reducing parents involvement in their childrens life.D.Making them aware of what true social justice is.第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） Does failure really exist? If you believ
37、e you have failed, then you have. If you believe you dont have the ability to succeed, then you dont. 16 The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born. 17 Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching the
38、ir goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Dont do that! 18 Never quit, never admit failure , and never lose heart.Dont believe in a clear finish line for goals.Its a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control. 19 If

Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.Be sure that y
40、ou dont see difficulties as failures.Difficulties mean only one thing: its not time for your goal to be completed yet. Thats it! It doesnt mean you failed; it doesnt mean youre weak; it doesnt mean youll never achieve your goals. 20 Youve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or th
41、rough the difficulties.A. Never give up on yourself.B. Failure only exists in your own mind!C. Thats exactly how failure makes us feel.D. It simply means you have not done enough yetE.
