It sounds absurd. But a years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without
12、reaching a stage of fatigue（疲劳）.To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins（毒素）and fatigue products. But if we took blood
13、 from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?Some scientists
14、 declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional（情绪的）attitudes. One of Englands most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.“Dr. Brill, a famous Am
15、erican scientist, goes even further. He declares,“ One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.“What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of no
16、t being appreciatedthose are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.25. What surprised the scientists a few years ago?A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborers blood.B. Albert Ei

19、on they started 2013 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.To reach our goal of losing weightthe output, we need to control what we eatthe input（输入）.That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goa
20、ls. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution:“ Ill stop having dessert for lunch, “or “Ill walk every day for 20 minutes.“ Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than conc
21、entrating on the outcome.Recently a new science behind incentives（激励）,including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading
22、certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output. Fryers conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because do not know how
23、 to do better on exam, aside from general rules like “study harder.“ Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And its easier to start again if you f
24、ail, because you know exactly what you need to do.If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isnt a
25、 goal because its too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, dont stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday.In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.28. The writ
26、er thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because .A. it is hard to achieve for most AmericansB. it is focused too much on the resultC. it is dependent on too many thingsD. it is based on actionable decisions29.

29、ance the input and outputDAs we all know, trees are important to our life. They provide us with food, wood and most importantly, oxygen. Now there is one more thing we can add to this listblocking out harmful bacteria in water.The discovery was made by some scientists and high school students who we
30、re seeking for a natural water filter(过滤器)one that could help people in developing countries that dont have access to modern water systems.The researchers, led by Rohit Karnik, a professor ,decided to turn to trees for help because they were able to allow liquid to flow through while blocking out ai
31、r bubbles(气泡）.They began by cutting 1.5-inch-wide sections of tree bark from the branch of a white pine tree. The researchers then tested the woods filtering ability by pouring water containing red dye particles(染料颗粒)of different sizes through. To their surprise, they found it was effective in trapp
32、ing all the particles. Encouraged, the team did another experiment, this time with water containing bacteria. Sure enough, the bark held back 99%of the bacteria, allowing only 1% to flow through.Mr. Karnik said the bark was able to filter water containing much smaller particles. This means that it c
33、an be used to get rid of most of the bacteria. However, what troubles them is that tree bark cannot hold back viruses, which tend to be much smaller.Though the experiment is successful, we must remember one thingthe bark only works when damp. This means that before this natural filter can be put to
34、practical use, the researchers will have to figure out how to keep the bark damp, or find a way to keep the barks great filtering ability even when its dry.But the study is not done. The researchers plan on testing other types of trees, including those flowering trees. They think those may be more e
35、ffective in trapping smaller particles and even viruses.32. How will the discovery affect the world?A. No harmful bacteria will be found in water.B. There will be no water pollution around the world.C. More pine trees will be planted around the world.D. Clean water will be more accessible in develop

Not all bacteria can be held back.34. Why does the team plan to do other experiments?A. To find other nat
