26、 For some people, higher education is not just a goal in life, but also an expectation. In the United States, if your parents attended a college or university, there is a good chance that you will, too. Even if your parents did not go to college, you still have a good chance of completing higher education if your family is wealthy.
But your chances are reduced if you come from a needy family, a community with limited educational resources or you simply have no one to follow as an example.
Helping those in need is one of the main ideas behind a strategy of behavioral science called nudge theory or nudging. Nudging is a way of changing people's behavior through indirect suggestion and by supporting positive actions.
A growing number of U.S. colleges and universities look to nudging as a way to support poor, minority and first-generation students. They also are using it to increase overall graduation rates. Two common forms of nudging are emails to students and text messages to their mobile phones. Schools and other educational organizations keep in contact with students this way, offering advice and help when needed.
However, Alejandra Acosta — a higher education policy expert at New America — notes that there are several qualities a nudge campaign must possess in order to be successful.
Acosta says messages must be timely, meaning they reach college students well before the date by which a student is required to take action. Additionally nudges should be written clearly and provide as much information as possible. If students start to struggle in class, school officials should not just message them, saying they should seek academic support. The message should give information about what kinds of support the college or university offers and exactly how the student can make use of them. That is why nudges should possess interactive qualities, Acosta says. For example, students should be able to ask questions of school officials or be directed to a website for more information. In addition, colleges and universities must ensure their support services are in place and working as best they can.
When nudges work, they can do a lot of good. In 2018, a nonprofit group launched a nudging campaign at four U.S. community colleges. They worked with nearly 10.000 first-year students at three such colleges in Ohio and one in Virginia. A recent study found that older and minority students who agreed to receive these nudges were 16 to 20 percent more likely to continue into their second year than those who did not.
【1】Who is most likely to receive and complete higher education according to the passage?
A.Tony, whose father is the only bread-winner in the family.
B.Jimmy, whose mother is a worker in a small factory.
C.Betty, whose grandmother is a housemaid of a famous university professor.
D.Cathy, whose parents failed to attend college but succeeded in starting a big company.
【2】What can we know about nudging?
A.It is rooted in psychological science.
B.It is a way to improve people’s mind.
C.It offers concrete and direct advice.
D.It helps students via emails and text messages.
【3】What is the passage mainly talking about?
A.The problem with higher education.
B.A way for colleges to support students.
C.The popularity of nudging campaign.
D.A national campaign dealing with poverty.
27、 When it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.
A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power just as easy as setting a clock.
This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children’s education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children’s education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.
Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again in the UK and probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others, in other words, we will be able to “kill two birds with one stone” and that is always a good thing.
【1】The underlined phrase “wind up” in paragraph 2 means .
A.吹风 B.给……上紧发条 C.拆开 D.带走
【2】The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed .
A.will be damaged much easier than the normal one
B.has a special handle to access the Internet
C.is cheap and can run with extra power
D.can be helpful to find the people’s own solutions
【3】Mr. Negroponte’s cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to .
A.illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countries
B.tell us what high technology can help people
C.show how to find business opportunities in developing countries
D.give an example of how to help developing countries
【4】Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countries?
A.We need to think about more ways to help people in developing countries,not just throw money at the problem.
B.We should spend much money helping people in developing countries build more schools and hospitals.
C.We should think about giving help to developing countries by giving them all we have.
D.We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's education immediately.
28、In 1990, during a performance of my stage play, I became preoccupied with one particular member of the audience. While everybody else laughed, there she sat, staring at the floor, with her fingers in her ears. I’ll never forget her look of complete discomfort.
That woman was my mother. Despite the fact I’d established myself as a humorist, my mother never found me or my work particularly funny. She was my hardest critic. “Is Drew really that funny?” she’d ask family members.
To make matters worse, the feeling was mutual (相互的): though our social circle swore that she was humorous, I never saw it. My mother was supposedly very funny in her first language, Anishinaabemowin—an Indigenous (原住民的) language, but alas, I didn’t speak it. At family gatherings, when somebody would say something “funny” in Anishinaabemowin, she’d explain it to me. Sometimes the humour translated. Sometimes it didn’t.
For a while I was convinced I would never make her laugh. Then, in 2005, I succeeded. I had published a book called Me Funny. In it were dozens of essays deconstructing Indigenous humour, along with 50 so-called “Indian jokes” to break up the various chapters. (For instance, “Why do Native people hate snow? Because it’s white and all over our land.”) She laughed hard and declared, “Wow, that was funny!”
In 2009, my mother passed away at the age of 77. During the funeral, in the tears, family member after family member got up and recounted things she had done and said over the years. To my surprise, I found myself laughing. Suddenly I remembered a moment from the early ‘90s, when my mother asked me, completely serious, what “owie” meant in French. I struggled to come up with an answer until I spelled it out in my mind: oui (“yes” in English).
More and more stories about her surfaced. We laughed as we remembered her. I couldn’t see my mother’s forest for my own trees. I wish I could have shared those laughs with her while she was alive, but I’m glad I finally made the connection.
【1】What prevented the author and his mother from understanding each other’s humour?
A.Language barriers.
B.The author’s unique job.
C.Mom’s critical personality.
D.Views of Indigenous people.
【2】Why did the author laugh at mother’s funeral?
A.He tried to fit in his Indigenous family.
B.He recalled amusing moments about mom.
C.He wanted to hide his sadness over mother’s death.
D.He intended his laugh to make mother rest in peace.
【3】What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.The author learned from mother a very important life lesson.
B.The author failed to relate to his mother from her perspective.
C.The author finally understood mother’s sense of humour better.
D.The author didn’t write enough humorous books to make mother laugh.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Am I funny?
B.Why isn’t Mom laughing?
C.What’s so funny?
D.Does laughter have an accent?
29、 Friendly doctors are “bad for their patients’ health”, researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like.
Blurring (使……模糊) the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects.
“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook, they should not hug or allow patients to call them by their first names.” regulators have warned. “Those who break the boundaries will face some punishment.”
It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists (肿瘤科医生) under the age of 40, found 59 per cent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they liked. Sixty per cent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients, it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a person’s care.
Lesley Fallowfield, of Brighton and Sussex Medical School, said: “Oncology is a profession that can be enormously rewarding but is filled with many challenges. Young oncologists have to master dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life-threatening disease; conveying the true prognosis (预后); discussing the complexity of modern treatments; and explaining the unavailability of some drugs, the side-effects of treatment, and likely treatment aims.”
But she said, “Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of the ‘Internet world’are more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional boundaries with patients.”
She said: “The difficulty, if you hug and kiss patients, if you allow them to call you by your first name, is that quickly the relationship can become confused as a social one rather than a professional one. Doctors become confused, ‘I really like this person, how can I bear to tell them that they’re going to die?’ They find it more difficult to be objective.”
【1】Why are friendly doctors bad for their patients’health?
A.They don’t like to cheat patients.
B.They are not good at treating patients.
C.They find it not easier to be objective to the patients.
D.They seldom blur the relationship with patients.
【2】What should doctors do according to the regulations?
A.Add patients as friends on Facebook.
B.Have close connection with patients in life.
C.Always be cold to patients.
D.Keep a proper distance to patients.
【3】Which opinion will Lesley Fallowfield agree with?
A.Oncology is a rewarding profession without challenges.
B.The Internet makes it easier for young doctors to break the boundaries.
C.It’s not the duty of doctors to deal with patients’ anxiety.
D.Becoming friends with patients will help them recover soon.
【4】Young oncologists will face the following challenges except_____________.
A.dealing with a lot of life-threatening diseases
B.discussing difficulties of treatment with patients
C.explaining the reason for the lack of some medicine
D.informing patients of the possible results of the treatment

Long long ago there lived an administrator(管理者)who often thought,"Nothing good can come to a town or a village whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems."One day,he had an idea to teach people a lesson.
The administrator dressed up and went to a village nearby.He placed a large stone in the middle of the main street and hid gold coins under the stone.Then he hid behind a huge maple tree and watched.
The first person who came along the street was a milkman with his cart.He crashed into the stone,spilling the milk everywhere."What fool put this stone here?"he shouted.He picked himself up and angrily went away.
A moment later,a group of women down the street,each balanced a pot of water on her head.One woman tripped over the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground.She picked herself up and limed away in tears.Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.
The administrator kept watching all day as many people complained about the stone,but he found nobody making an attempt to move it.The administrator was deeply disappointed.“Is there no one this village who feels it very important to keep their neighbors from harm
