21、It is an old expression about some people who are highly motivated about work in itself with the opposite view of someone who works to live. 【1】 But answering it honestly and accurately is critical to making intelligent career choices, and to your ultimate happiness in life. Unfortunately, many people lack the self-knowledge and realistic expectations necessary to address this vital issue properly.
Certain people, it is said, live to work. Their lives center on their work or careers and that achievement in their professions is a major source of satisfaction and meaning in their lives 【2】 In some cases, achieving huge levels of pay is considered more as a means of proving your worth than it is for the money itself.
By contrast, other people work to live. These people view their work or careers largely as toil whose purpose is to earn the money necessary to support themselves and their dependents. Their real interests lie elsewhere. 【3】 Some of these people try to cut comers, to gain the maximum pay for the minimum amount of effort. Others do indeed take great pride in their work and put great effort into doing their jobs well, but their jobs simply are not the centers of their lives.
【4】 Examples abound of individuals who lose their native passion for work because they cannot find an adequate position or pay in their preferred fields of endeavor. When they settle for jobs in other fields, they often do so strictly for benefits, such as compensation (补偿). 【5】
A．It’s critical to understand it.
B．Money may not be a motivation.
C．They may develop-a same attitude.
D．And their work or careers are only means to an end, not an end in itself.
E．There is no right or wrong answer to the question of which attitude is better.
F．The answer for a given individual may differ based on his or her circumstances.
G．Many individuals used to work to live but after a change of career start living to work.
22、Contrary to “popular opinion”, the scientific pursuit for knowledge is not a predictable process. To make new discoveries, researchers need the freedom to be creative, fail, and learn by chance. This aspect is similar to art. This is why Wageningen scientists look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas about how to increase creative freedom.
“Science and art are two different ways to make something understandable. They both provide a perspective on reality,” says Biochemistry Professor Dolf Weijers. “From the outside, the research process looks very formal and the artistic process looks somewhat messy. But the scientific process can also unfold in an unpredictable way.”
“Scientists can learn a lot from artists,” says Weijers. “Association and creativity are central to art. Those aspects require more attention in science as the creative process is the key of science.”
“As a scientist, you use different methods, but it is equally about how you visualize your understandings of reality and the connections between them. This is sometimes just as visual as art,” says Weijers. One example is a recent special project in which Weijers and his colleague Joris Sprakel, professor of Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter, measured the forces that act on plant cells. A molecular (分子的) sensor was used to visualize the different forces. They showed the results in colorful images, each representing a different force.
What science and art also have in common is that they are topics of discussion in society. There are people who say that they do not value art and people who mistrust science. Weijers says, “It often creates the wrong impression because only the results of scientific studies are presented, and people do not have any insight into the process leading to discovery. As a scientist, you are doubted if you say something that is different a few years later. Then you are viewed as unreliable. But what is often poorly understood is that there are no final results in science. What we scientists can achieve in the coming period is to provide more chances for people to focus on the process. Personally, I think that the connection with art can help to lead the focus on the process than the result.”
【1】What does Dolf Weijers think of science process?
A．It is always serious.
B．It can’t be accidental.
C．It doesn’t allow failures.
D．It can be unexpected.
【2】What does the underlined sentence “This is sometimes just as visual as art” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Visualizing is a must for science.
B．Science can be visualized like art.
C．Science should be understood by visualizing.
D．Visualizing is as easy in science as in art.
【3】Why do common people mistrust science in Dolf Weijers’ opinion?
A．Scientists usually draw unreliable conclusions.
B．Scientists don’t use visualizing to show the results.
C．The scientific process is unknown to them.
D．The scientific results are complex for the public.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Differences Between Science and Art
B．Similarities Between Science and Art
C．Scientists and Artists Contribute to the World
D．Science and Art Are Tools to Understand the World
23、 What is an accent? An accent is a flavoring to you that influences the sounds of words and sentences. In Birmingham you might hear “lake” sounding close to “like”, and in Ireland you might hear “this” sounding close to “diss”.
Accents are related to social group. Everyone has an accent, and for every accent there are groups of people who react badly to it. These reactions arc the result of prejudice — an unreasoned jumping to conclusions.
Everybody has prejudices about accents. I certainly do. I have held prejudices about other people's accents. But over the years，my experience of working with people from all kinds of backgrounds has led me to give up these prejudices. However, I still have prejudices that I find difficult to control.
Studies tell us that no accent is better than any other. But the reality is that many people judge others according to accents. Jacob, Member of Parliament, remembers when he first stood unsuccessfully for election in Fife, Scotland, “I gradually realized that whatever I happened to be speaking about, the number of voters in my favor dropped as soon as I opened my mouth.”
And sonic people change their accents to sound more refined when talking to people outside their circle of family and friends.
Sky News ran a report recently in which an 18-year-old woman was trying to sound less posh, that is speaking non-standard English, because she didn’t like the strangers telling her that she must be rich and from a famous family.
Lastly, it's worth being reminded that people can have an accent and still berecognized.
【1】What’s the main idea of the first three paragraphs?
A．What’s accent and accents can lead to prejudice.
B．Accents are something that everyone can have.
C．Accents are something that you can meet everywhere.
D．Accents have a long root in people that causes serious social issues.
【2】Jacob is referred to in the passage to prove ________.
A．everyone has prejudice about accents
B．many people judge others according to accents
C．he was quite unpopular among English people
D．he was unable to make himself understood because he had an accent
【3】Why does the girl try to change her accent according to Sky News?
A．Because she tried to be rich.
B．Because she pretended to be well-educated.
C．Because she just wanted to make herself look ordinary.
D．Because she wanted io learn the upper-class British accent.
【4】What does the underlined word “recognized” mean?
A．Reasonable.
B．Understandable.
C．Difficult.
D．Successful.

25、If you examine the birth certificate of every soccer per in the last World Cup tournament, you will most likely find the excellent players were born in the earlier months of the year. If you then examine the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup, you will find this phenomenon even more ________.
What might account for this strange phenomenon? Some guess a certain astrological sign (星座) ________ superior soccer skills; others maintain that winter-born babies have higher oxygen capacity, which increases soccer stamina (耐力). But Anderson Ericsson, a 58-year-old professor who is called the expert on experts, believes in neither. His first experiment, nearly 30 years ago, involved ________: training a person to hear and repeat a random series of numbers. "With the first subject, after 20 hours of training, his digital span rose to 20", Ericsson recalls, "and after about 200 hours of training he could repeat up to 80 numbers."
This success, coupled with later research showing memory itself is not ________ determined, led Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is a cognitive exercise, which means whatever inborn differences two people may exhibit in their abilities to memorize, those differences are ________ by how well each person encodes the information. And the best way to learn how to encode information meaningfully, Ericsson determined, was a process known as ________ practice. It involves more than simply repeating a task — playing a C-minor scale 100 times, ________, or hitting tennis serves until your shoulder pops out of its socket. ________, it involves stepping outside your comfort zone, setting specific and well-defined goals, focusing on ________ areas of expertise, obtaining immediate feedback from professionals and concentrating as much on technique as on outcome.
Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying high achievers in a wide range of ________, including soccer, golf, chess, piano playing and darts. They gather all the data they can and make a rather shocking statement: the trait we commonly call talent is highly ________. And yes, expert performers are nearly always made.
Ericsson's formula seems appealing to many tiger parents: "practice makes perfect" is naturally ________ to genetic determination. By ________ innate ability as insignificant, many are confident they can make a concert-level pianist or an Olympic figure skater of their kids as long as they push them hard enough. Ericsson, ________, believes what parents should learn from the science of expertise is not the effect of logging thousands of hours, but how to get kids to ________ the importance and challenge of effective practice.
