25、All of us may have experienced embarrassing moments. It could have been the time when you pronounced a simple word wrong in class, wore your T-shirt backwards, talked about someone else without realizing that they were right behind you, or secretly tried to take a picture of someone while the flash was on.

Though these embarrassing moments don’t harm us a lot, they come back from time to time and make us feel upset. Even if these moments may have faded after some time, we would always remember the feeling of strong embarrassment. In fact, these feelings may last for years. When these kinds of feelings return, they are known as a “cringe attack (羞愧综合症)”.

I personally get a quite uncomfortable feeling when I think back on a party my parents took me to when I was younger. I ate a bowl of strawberries by myself. My parents shouted at me – in front of everyone — for being so selfish. From then on, every time I put a strawberry into my mouth, my brain just throws that embarrassing scene back.

Why do these “cringe attacks” still pop up in our daily lives even though the actual events happened weeks, months, or even years ago? According to researchers, our brains give special attention to feelings that can be easily noticed. The stronger the feeling is, the stronger the memory will be. If you have a highly embarrassing or highly emotional (情绪激动的) moment, no matter what it is, your brain will try to catch it.

So how can we deal with this? Well, we can start by trying to be more objective (客观的) about our past selves. Consider that you are not alone in your embarrassment—everyone fails or makes silly, embarrassing mistakes. Instead of just trying to forget what we did, we should try to accept who we were at that moment and think about how we can change for the better.

【1】What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?

A．It’s common to wear T-shirt backwards.

B．It’s easy to get into embarrassing situations.

C．It’s a shame to pronounce a simple word wrong.

D．It’s impolite to take a picture of someone secretly.

【2】The underlined word “faded” has the same meaning as “________”.

A．disappeared

B．continued

C．returned

D．increased

【3】Why does the writer talk about his own experience in Paragraph 3?

A．To show his love for strawberries.

B．To give an example of cringe attacks.

C．To explain that he was not really selfish.

D．To show everyone has embarrassing moments.

【4】According to Paragraph 4, the more emotional we are, ________.

A．the more exciting life we will live

B．the shorter the event will stay in our memory

C．the better we will remember about the event

D．the more embarrassed we will feel about the event

【5】What’s writer’s suggestion about dealing with embarrassing moments?

A．Taking them seriously.

B．Just forgetting about them.

C．Trying to improve ourselves.

D．Comparing them with others’.

26、Have you ever had an experience where you meet someone new, learn his name and think to yourself, “Wow, they really look just like their names!” What does this mean, exactly? Scientists are suggesting that humans manage to contact people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look.

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled（贴标签）each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.

The volunteers guessed nearly four names correctly out of ten. It seems that humans are able to recognize（认 出）certain characteristics of faces that can give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.

However, this only works when we’re looking at names within our own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames（昵称）more often than their real names. This shows that a person’s appearance is influenced by his name only if they use it often.

This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy（自我实现预言）, as we become what other people expect us to become”, Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website Eurek Alert.

Earlier studies have shown that gender（性别）and race（种族）stereotypes（刻板印象）can influence a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people manage to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate and feminine, just like the flower they are named for.

【1】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．People can guess others’ names based on their appearance.

B．There are several ways to guess a stranger’s name.

C．A person’s appearance can be influenced by three factors.

D．It’s not polite to ask strangers about their names.

【2】Dr Ruth Mayo thinks some people look like their names because of ________.

A．their different cultures

B．a self-fulfilling prophecy

C．racial stereotypes

D．their living environment

【3】According to the passage, men named Bob are expected to ________.

A．wear glasses

B．have big eyes

C．look beautiful

D．have round faces

【4】What do we know from this research?

A．Nicknames have a bigger influence on people’s appearance.

B．Gender and race have no influence on a person’s appearance,

C．The volunteers were able to guess the right name 40% of the time.

D．People are good nt recognizing the different characteristics of faces.

27、   Have you ever stayed deep underground in a cave? You have no food and the oxygen(氧气) is running out. You're not even sure if anyone knows you're down there.

A soccer team of 12 young Thai boys, as well as their coach, had to go through this experience this summer. They became trapped in a cave in Thailand on June 23, spending 18 days inside until they were saved by an international team of divers(潜水员）. After hearing the news that a former Thai Navy SEAL(海 军海豹突击队员）died while trying to save these kids, my friends and I talked about the situation and felt as if there might be no way to get the children out.

But we held out hope anyway. We refused to give up hope for these kids, even when the situation seemed quite dark. We were rewarded(奖励)for our hope when they were finally saved.

It can be hard to hold out hope in dark times. Every day, we read or hear about the terrible things that happen in the world. This makes it hard for us to stay positive. Some people go through their lives thinking that the worst is always just around the corner.

However, I believe that it's especially important to stay positive during difficult times. This is the best way to deal with the challenges that we face in life. As people often say: there is always a light at the end of the tunnel(隧道).

【1】How many people were trapped in a cave in Thailand on June 23?

A.12. B.13. C.18. D.23.

【2】What does the underlined word “trapped” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.捕获的 B.收集的 C.受困的 D.失望的

【3】From the story, we know that _______.

A.not all of the kids were saved

B.a man died when he tried to save the kids

C.the writer and his friends also joined in the rescue efforts

D.the Thai Navy SEAL were rewarded by the government

【4】According to the passage, when we face challenges, we should _______.

a. hold out hope   b. stay positive  c. give up d. wait for help

A.a b B.b c C.a c D.c d
