The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍).Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldnt. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2020 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, Im learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your videos.This has given me a purpose.Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the jobData Analystthis month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.Thank you. Youve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because Im doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good.

They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. But are they smart like humans or more than cats or dogs? Dolphins use their brains differently from people. But scientists say dolphin intelligence and human intelligence are similar in some ways. How?Fact 1: Talk to meLike humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a special whistle. Each dolphin chooses a specific whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Actually, scientists think dolphins, like people, “talk” to each other about a lot of things, such as their ages, their feelings, or finding food. And, like humans, dolphins use a system of sounds and body languages to communicate. But understanding their conversations is not easy for humans. No one speaks dolphins language yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.Fact 2: Lets playDolphins are also social animals. They live in groups, and they often join others from different groups to play games and have funjust like people. In fact, playing together is something only intelligent animals do.Fact 3: Fishermens helperDolphins and humans are similar in another way: both make plans to get something they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an interesting strategy to get food. When fish are near a boat, dolphins show signs to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. What is the advantage for the dolphins in doing so? They get to eat some of the fish.8. What does a dolphin often use as its “name”?A. A body language. B. A special whistle. C. Its feeling. D. Its age.9. Why do dolphins join others from different groups?A. To learn to “talk”. B. To meet their families. C. To play games. D. To find food.10. How do dolphins help fishermen catch fish?A. By playing with other fish. B. By following fishing boats.C. By leading the fish into the net. D. By showing signs to the fishermen.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. Dolphins are smarter than humans. B. Dolphins make friends with humans.C. Dolphins teach humans to speak their language. D. Dolphins and humans are similar in some ways.DIt is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys brains. When the brain s temperature was 10C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.12. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _.A. the time is too short for doctors B. the patients are often too nervousC. the damage is extremely hard to fix D. the blood-cooling machine might break down13. The brain operation was made possible mainly by _.A. taking the blood out of the brain B. trying the operation on monkeys firstC. having the blood go through a machine D. lowering the brain s temperature14. With Dr. White s new idea, the operation on the damaged brain _.A. can last as long as 30 minutes B. can keep the brain s blood warmC. can keep the patient s brain healthy D. can help monkeys do different jobs15. What is the right order of the steps in the operation?a. send the cooled blood back to the brainb. stop the blood to the brainc. have the blood cooled downd. operate on the brainA. a,b,c,d B. c,a,b,d C. c, b, d, a D. b, c, d, a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。Be at your best!What does your brain need to work well?Here are some things it needs.Good foodExperts say that breakfast is much more important than any other meal.16.So dont miss breakfastespecially before an exam!But you need to eat a good breakfastjunk food wont work.A regular supply of energyYour brain needs a regular supply of energy,so you need to eat carbohydrates.Theyre found in bread,rice,pasta and beans.17.They work more quickly than bread and rice,so they give you a short burst(爆发) of energy,but afterwards you feel more tired.A continuous supply of oxygen(氧气)Your brain needs oxygen,which it gets from exercise.18.You also need a good supply of iron because iron helps your blood to carry oxygen round your body.Water19.Not getting enough water will stop your brain from working well.And remember,water isnt as expensive as sweet drinks!20Your brain needs several hours sleep,so it can“update” itself,just like a computer.Experts say that when you study for a test or an exam,you should get some sleep as quickly as possible after youve finished studying.This helps you to remember what youve learnt.A.
