21、What happens when we think that others expect us to fail? My research shows that these “underdog expectations” can actually motivate (激励) people to try to prove others wrong, especially those they find less trustworthy, — leading them to perform better.

I conducted an experiment asking volunteers to do a computer task that included clicking on rapidly moving circles. They were told that someone was observing their performance on the task. They would receive one of three messages — stating underdog expectations, high expectations, or neutral (中立的) expectations — from the observer. Volunteers then performed the task. I found that those who experienced underdog expectations performed the best.

There are countless stories about underdogs being successful. For example, Aly Raisman, a three-time Olympic gold medalist in gymnastics, specially mentioned this motivation after reporters suggested she was too old to succeed at the last Olympics, “It’s obviously not something that people expected or that’s easy to do after you’re taking a year off or being the ‘Grandma’ or whatever they like to say. So, I’m happy I proved everyone wrong.”

Of course, there are also many more examples of people failing to overcome the low expectations others set for them. So when does being an underdog lead to success rather than failure?

I ran a second study. Before volunteers received any expectations, they were casually given information about the observer’s trust. Results show that the desire to prove others wrong only turned into better performance in the face of less trustworthy observers, while it backfired when it came from more trustworthy observers. Trying to prove highly trustworthy people wrong appears to have caused a sense of anxiety, which weakened the following performance. In contrast, people experiencing underdog expectations from less trustworthy observers were able to use the desire to prove others wrong and perform successfully.

My work suggests that more people can achieve success when they think that others view them as underdogs — if they view others as less trustworthy and direct their motivation to prove them wrong toward performing better.

A．an old player did better than her competitors

B．it was hard for an old player to achieve success

23、A walk through the galleries of Quebec's Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) places individuals face-to-face with some 43,000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics (陶瓷制品) to Inuit sculpture.

While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience, a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe(开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.

Hélène Boyer, vice president of a Montreal-based medical association, explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter (神经传导物质) known as the "happy chemical" which helps to lift mood.

According to Boyer, the small increase in hormones(荷尔蒙)associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise, making museum prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.

The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods. As Bondil notes, spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction. "What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain," she says. "When you enter the museum, you escape from the speed of our daily life."

"I am convinced that in the 21st century, culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century," said Bondil. " Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. Just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA."

【1】What does Hélène Boyer think of museum visits?

A．They can cheer people up.

B．They can reduce physical activity.

C．They can slow down our life pace.

D．They can increase levels of art appreciation.

【2】How do museum visits affect people?

A．Stop them concentrating on pain.

B．Stop them focusing on traditional methods.

C．Encourage them not to be absent-minded.

D．Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.

【3】What does the last paragraph suggest?

A．Physical activities were popular in the 19th century.

B．Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.

C．Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.

D．Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Museum visits are ideal for the elderly.

B．Happy chemical helps to lift mood.

C．Peaceful environment helps escape pain.

D．Cultural activities will promote health

24、American children aren’t the only couch potatoes out there. Nearly one third of children in the world spend three hours a day or more watching TV or playing computers, according to a study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations.

From Argentina to Zambia, Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found that most children aren’t getting enough exercise. “In terms of physical activity levels, we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich countries,” Guthold told Reuters Health. “Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical activity.”

The study, published in The Journal of Pediatrics, looked at 72,845 schoolchildren aged 13 to 15 from Africa, North and South America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

The researchers defined enough physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week. Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV, playing computer games, or chatting with friends — aside from time in school or time spent doing homework — were considered as sedentary. The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of the boys and nearly 30 percent of the girls sat too much and didn’t get enough exercise.

Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary, with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary.

Girls were less active than boys in every country except for Zambia. Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys, at 42 percent, while Zambia had the lowest, at 8 percent. Girls from India were the most active, with 37 percent meeting exercise definitions, while girls from Egypt were the least active, with just 4 percent getting enough exercise.

While the study didn’t look at the reasons behind the lack of physical activity in various nations, Guthold guessed that urbanization (城市化) could be a factor as well as being able to use cars and TVs. She said schools can help children become more active by having physical education classes and educating students about the importance of exercise.

【1】What does the underlined word “sedentary” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Addicted.

B．Flexible.

C．Inactive.

D．Unhealthy.

【2】What can we know from the study?

A．Boys from Uruguay were the most active.

B．Most girls from India got enough exercise.

C．Children in Europe get more physical activity.

D．Boys are more active than girls in every country.

【3】How does the writer present the findings of the study?

A．By using quotations and taking examples.

B．By listing figures and making comparisons.

C．By asking questions and providing answers.

D．By presenting facts and drawing conclusions.

【4】Which of the following factors probably lead to children’s lack of physical activity?

A．Computers and potatoes.

B．Computers and urbanization.

C．Urbanization and physical education.

D．Physical education and homework.
