Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. If you are a perfectionist, you are probably familiar with the feeling of wanting to get everything just right. You may struggle with handing in papers, agonize (苦苦思索) over projects at work, and even worry about small errors from the past. High _41_ are one thing, but perfectionism is quite another.And as some researchers have discovered, _ 42_ perfection can have serious consequences to mental and physical well-being. Since perfectionism is _ 43_ with negative outcomes, what can someone with perfectionist tendencies do to change their behavior? Although people are sometimes _44_ to give up their perfectionist tendencies, psychologists point out that giving up on perfection doesnt mean being unsuccessful. _45_ mistakes are an important part of learning and growing. _46_ , imperfection can actually help us in the long run. One possible _47_ to perfectionism involves developing what psychologists call a growth mindset (思维方式). Researchers at Stanford University have found that cultivating a growth mindset is a key way to help us learn from our failures. Unlike those with _48_ mindsets - who see their skill levels as in born and unchangeable, those with growth mindsets believe they can improve their abilities by learning from their mistakes. Psychologists point out that parents can play a _ 49_ role in helping their children develop healthier attitudes towards failure: they can praise their children for making an effort even if their results are imperfect and help children learn to_ 50_ when they make mistakes. Another _ 5l_ option for perfectionism is to cultivate self-compassion (自我同情) . To understand self-compassion, thank about how you would _52_ a close friend if they made a mistake.Chances are that you d probably make responses with kindness and understanding, knowing that your friend meant well. The idea behind self-compassion is that we should treat ourselves _53_ when we make mistakes, remind ourselves that mistakes are part of being human, and avoid being _54_ by negative emotions. Self-compassion can be beneficial for mental health, but perfectionists tend not to treat themselves in compassionate ways. If youre interested in trying to foster more self-compassion the researcher who developed the concept of self-compassion has a short exercise you can try. Psychologists have also suggested that cognitive (认知的) behavioral therapy can be a way to help people change their beliefs about perfectionism. Although perfectionism is linked to lower mental health,the good news is that perfectionism is something you can change. By working to see mistakes as learning _55_, and replacing self-criticism with self-compassion, its possible to overcome perfectionism and develop a healthier way of setting goals for yourself.41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, c and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A) I had a teacher who used to wake up in class by shouting: The early bird gets the worm! I say let him have the worm. I hate food that doesnt stay still, and avoid Japanese restaurants for that very reason.Anyway, I stopped eating worms at the age of three, switching to regular breakfasts of cereal (谷物) , to which I would add extra sugar. Recently I was thinking about early birds and the competitive spirit after receiving a letter from a reader in Malaysia: My son deliberately throws away marks because he doesnt 1ike to be top of the class.What shall I do? Give him a round of applause for being smart! Actually many children in Asia tend to be the focus by performing better Placed into a very competitive class when I was 11, I quickly learned the ideal position was second to last. The top three performers and the very last person are highlighted; the second-to-last contestant is INVISIBLE. And its an easy position to get- -just deliberately underperform at every test. I could do that.I once came second to last in eight straight sports day races. No one suspected anything. I was so invisible that I could have robbed a bank in my street and no one would have noticed. At the London Olympics a few months ago, badminton pairs from three Asian countries deliberately tried to lost matches to draw good lots in later rounds. It was funny to watch, but they were all thrown out for poor sportsmanship. What they really needed were acting lessons, their moves were so unconvincing.Oops, I hit the ball in entirely the wrong direction. The other day, I took the children out and they raced for the car. Im first. said one. The second said: First is worst, second is best. Together they sang at the last one: And thirds the one with a hairy chest. It struck me that the organizers of sports matches could use this song when people deliberately lost matches. I lost, the delighted loser will say. The judges could still declare them winners, pointing to anew, optional regulation: First is worst, second is best, thirds the one with a hairy chest.56.

A bird in hand is worth two in the bush(B) Shot in more than 40 locations in L.A., the musical La La Land is a love letter to the city. To coincide with UK release, we asked a local writer to pick some of the films amazing settings.Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange La La Lands opening scene is a six- minute dance that plays out in L.A.s bad traffic. It is also where the films leading roles, struggling actress Mia and jazz pianist Sebastian, first encounter each other -in a road anger incident. The scene is said to have been filmed over two hot days in south L.A.Smokehouse Restaurant, Burbank This is the setting for the scene in which Mia discovers Sebastians talent for the piano. The fictional Liptons restaurant-where jazz purist Sebastian was reluctant to play Christmas music-is in reality a place long frequented by actors, producers and other show business types. It has been on this spot,across the street from the Warner Bros studio, since 1949. In the film, the outer wall of Liptons is the You are the Star mural () , which features Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin and others, which is on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Wicox Avenue in Hollywood in reality.Warner Bros Studios, Burbank Mia works at the studios coffee shop, where Sebastian comes to meet her.
