I heard the child say, Grandfather, may I polish your shoes? That old man took pity on her, smiled and he gave her a shoe to polish. The girl said, I polish the shoe because I need money to buy my brother a new school uniform. The old man answered, Oh, little girl. Just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy you a uniform.Then they walked to a market (I followed behind) and he bought her a uniform. The girl was so happy. She said, Thank you so much for doing this.

As I walked away, I glanced back and I could see him still smiling. I was blown away by the kindness I had just seen. Someone who had so little himself was able to show such incredible generosity!

But scientists did not know whether teens did too. To find out, Insel asked 88 people between the ages of 13 and 20. She had them try a game. The participants looked at pictures of planets on a computer screen. They had to click as fast as they could when they saw a planet with designs. They were not supposed to click if a planet had no designs. The participants could earn 20 cents for right answers but lose 10 cents for wrong ones. In other sessions, theyd get a dollar for right answers, and lose a half dollar for wrong ones. Players of all ages wanted to win the money, and cared more about bigger rewards than smaller ones.As Insel expected, adults performed better when the stakes were high. But teens 13 to 18 played just as well whether they stood to win 20 cents or a dollar. Only 19- or 20-year olds stepped up their game for the higher stakes. Insels team published this work November 28, 2017, in Nature Communications.Brains change and mature during adolescence. And not all parts grow at the same rate. Insel was interested in two areas in particular. One is deep inside the brain and just above the ears. Called the ventral striatum (腹侧纹状体), it helps the brain calculate rewards. The ventral striatum becomes mature during the teen years.The brains prefrontal cortex (前额叶) takes longer to mature. This area is important for planning and setting goals. It may not mature until early adulthood.Nerve pathways think of them as the brains “wiring” connect the ventral striatum and prefrontal cortex. This lets the two regions communicate to make decisions. But because the prefrontal cortex matures later, the wiring between the two may not be complete until adulthood. 8. Which of the following can explain Insels research?A. Teens ignore key points in many aspects.B. Adults behave better with higher rewards.C. Teens give more attention to exams than usual work.D. Adults behave more maturely than children in every way. 9. What does the underlined word “stakes” refer to?A. The final results of games or experiments.B. The things that can be gained or lost in races.C. The ambitions or energies that one experiences in games.D. The powers that make one feel less pressure or pain. 10. From the passage, we can know _.A. the experiment aims to find out adults behaviour facing high stakesB. teens have better performances in the first roundsC. adults care less about the experiment at firstD. adults and teens show differently with high stakes11. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Unlike adults, teens dont perform better with high stakes B. Who perform better, adults or children?C. Stakes are the key points in promoting ones passionD. Whether low stakes or high stakes, one behaves similarlyDWe went out to dinner tonight to celebrate my daughters beautiful concert. We dont do this often because of our tight budget.I noticed a very tired mom in some kind of uniform come in with her three children, maybe about age 4 or 5. She looked like she had just finished work. She sat with them quietly taking care of all their needs. Then I noticed, as soon as their finally food arrived, she took a bite of her food and then one of the kids had to go to the bathroom. They all left the table and she ushered them so lovingly especially after what may have been a long day at work. I excused myself from the table and went quietly to hostess stand. I handed the hostess $15 and said, “Can you put this anonymously to that mom of 3s bill? I am hoping it covered at least the childrens meals.” The hostess had such a lovely smile and enthusiasm for being in on this intention. I didnt stand around long as I didnt want anyone even my own family to know what was going on. I wanted it to be completely anonymous.For the rest of my meal I did all I could not to put any more attention directly on the table, as I didnt want her to suspect me in the act.I thought about not sharing this story, but I feel like we are stealth, fierce each others candle holders and lighters- in our commitments to kindness, so it feels like I should share with you. Thanks for reading and thanks for all you do to inspire my heart to expand in greater kindness and commitment to more and more random acts of kindness. It feels so wonderful to live in this type of world, one of abundance and kindness, instead of lack and self-service.12. What touched the author according to the passage?A. The warm atmosphere of dining out.B. A mother with tight budget treating her children.C. The deep love between the working mother and children.D. The exhausted mother looking after children with so much care.13. What did the hostess think of the authors behavior?A. Funny. B. Appreciated. C. Puzzled. D. Suspected.14. Whats the purpose of sharing the story?A. To call on people to offer help to others.B. To share the happiness of giving.C. To build a beautiful and nice world.D. To collect money for the mom in the story.15. Which is the best title of the passage?A. A meaningful dinnerB. A caring motherC. A warm kindnessD. A generous hostess第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Here are some ways of encouraging a friend to get through a difficult time. 1. Make contact. When you find out that someone is going through a crisis, get in contact with them as soon as possible. If the person is far away, make a phone call or send an email. 36 This is especially important if theyre dealing with an illness that makes it difficult to leave the house.2. Listen to them without judgment. People need to tell their stories in their own time. Of course youre going to have opinions about their situation. 37 Focus on your friend, so they work through the healing process.3. Offer practical help. Instead of offering advice, what you can offer is some actual help. This can make a huge difference for them. 38 Help them out with some chores like doing their grocery shopping for them, helping clean their house, and taking their dog for a walk. 4. 39 When someone is going through a difficult life event, the basic functions of life tend to get forgotten. They possibly forget to eat or stop caring for their appearance. Remind them to do things like shower, and exercise. 5. Dont take over their life. Taking over their life may overwhelm them. 40 Dont just take your friend to dinner, ask them where and when they want to dine.

You should offer options to them.C. Sometimes visiting someone in person is also effective. D. You should use your past experiences to help them.E. But it isnt always necessary to share your advice.F. Its better to be there for them.G.
