6、o keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself. Popularity is a well-explo

7、red subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, ar

8、e employed ever after in life and work. Then theres the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinsteins studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school,

9、 as well as those least liked in elementary school, are most likely to engage (從事) in dangerous and risky behavior. In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys(調(diào)查研究). W

10、e found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us. Dr. Prinstein has also found that th

11、e qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play datesharing, kindness, opennesscarry overtolater years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outc

12、omes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too.

15、chool called life, Each day here you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and o

16、ur ancestors have to overlook is that there is no answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual.Each person has his own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone elses. As you are travelling your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons you will need to

17、 learn in order to achieve that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and achieving the meaning of your own life.As you are travelling through your lifetime, you may meet challenging lessons that others dont have to face, wh

18、ile others spend years struggling with challenges that you dont need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing yo

19、u can count on is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn.The challenge, therefore, is to connect yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will face in your lifetime, as sometimes y

20、our path will be different from others. But dont compare your path with that of people around you and focus on the differences between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only face lessons that you can learn and that are specific to your own growth.Our sense of fairness is th

21、e expectation of equality. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult life path than others around you. Everyones circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently.1. According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be

22、 realized?A. Gathering different opinions from others.B. Taking the distinct path from others.C. Learning the lessons presented to you.D. Doing the different things from others.2. From the passage we can conclude _.A. everyone has his own track to followB. unexpected things usually happen to the pee

23、rsC. a painful divorce must lie in financial problemsD. a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage3. In your lifetime, the lessons you are faced with _.A. are beyond your powerB. stop you from growingC. limit your developmentD. help you with your success4. Which of the following is TRUE?A. All thi

24、ngs are equal.B. You should learn to deal with specific problems differently from others.C. One has to fix his mind on the unfairness of circumstances.D. You can complain life is unfair whenever possible.DFor many years, students had improved by answering questions and doing best on the exam. But in

25、 the late 2010s, many students were doing more poorly on the exam than on the homework leading up to it. They would even ace the very first homework assignment, the one that quizzed them on material they had not learned yet. In 2008, only around 3 out of 20 students performed better on their homewor

26、k than on the exam. But that share grew over time. By 2019, more than half of the students had performed this way.What had changed over those years? One big thing was the rise of smartphones. They existed in 2008, but were not common. Now almost everyone carries one. So it would be easier today to q

27、uickly go online and find the answer to just about any homework question. But students cant use phones during an exam. And that might explain why they arent doing well on the tests.The students who did better on their exams didnt always report that they had come up with their own homework answers. A

28、nd those who did better on their homework didnt always say that they had copied. Coming up with answers on your own should lead to better learning for students at any age. If you find and then copy the right answer, youre taking the easy way out. But that is wasting a valuable practice opportunity.

29、It may take a few more minutes to think of an answer on your own, and then check to see if its right. But thats the way youll learn more.Now that information is easily available to everyone all the time, it probably doesnt make sense for teachers to expect students to take quizzes and exams without

30、it. From now on, we shouldnt ever give a closed-book exam. Instead, teachers should come up with homework and exam questions that Google cant easily answer. These might be questions that ask you to explain a passage you just read in your own words. Writing assignments and class projects are other gr

31、eat ways to encourage students to remember and apply their knowledge.1. What does the underlined word ace in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Do well in.B. Put effort into.C. Pay attention to.D. Get involved in.2. From Paragraph 3, we can know that _.A. addiction to mobile games decreases students study

32、 gradesB. online tutoring influences the regular classroom learningC. the modern technology reduces students motivation for learningD. searching online for answers stops students independent thinking3. What does the author suggest to teachers in the last paragraph?A. Blocking students access to info

33、rmation.B. Giving students more quizzes and exams.C. Creating original questions for students.D. Minimizing the class teaching and activities.4. What is the text mainly about?A. Creative examinations are necessary.B.T he ways students do their homework.C. The application of the Internet in teaching.

53、ot married, my husband, Spode, and I bought the house from the Gehards, who were moving to Australia. As they couldnt take much abroad with them, they left almost everything in the house to us, among which were two bookshelves packed with thick books. I liked the fine furniture, the tasteful kitchen

54、ware and even the pictures on the wall but I didnt think much of the books.On the day they handed over the house to us, we walked around in the house with the Gehards for the last time.
