21、   Researchers from Stockholm University, the Institute for Future Studies, and the University of South Carolina teamed up to find out if generosity really pays off. The results, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, reveal that unselfish people tend both to have more children and earn higher salaries than selfish people.

“The result is clear in both the American and the European data. The most unselfish people have the most children and the moderately (适度地) unselfish receive the highest salaries. And we also find this result over time: the people who are most generous at one point in time have the largest salary,” explains Kimmo Eriksson, a researcher at the Centre for Cultural Evolution at Stockholm University and one of the authors of the study.

Previous psychological and sociological (社会学的) research has shown that selfless people feel happier and have better social relationships, but scientists can now see the benefits of generosity in other areas of life including income and fertility (生育能力).

“The results of this study showed that people generally have the correct expectation that selfish people have fewer children, but erroneously believe that selfish people will make more money. It is nice to see that generosity so often pays off in the long run says Pontus Strimling, a researcher at the Institute for Futures Studies and co-author behind the study.

The researchers believe that prosocial (亲社会的) behaviors help generous people in succeeding from an economic perspective. Although the study does not definitively answer this question, it makes sense that unselfish people, who tend to give their time and energy more willingly to help others would thrive (兴旺) in business relationships and teamwork settings. On the other hand, acting in self-interest has poorer outcomes including lower incomes.

Co-author, Brent Simpson of the University of South Carolina adds, Future research will have to explore deeper into the reasons why generous people earn more and look at whether the link between unselfishness, higher salaries, and more children also exists in other parts of the world.

【1】What do the researchers find in the study?

A.Selfish people prefer to do better jobs.

B.Selfish people want to have more children.

C.Generous people actually earn more money.

D.Generous people are willing to pay off their debts.

【2】What does the underlined word “erroneously” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Wrongly. B.Certainly.

C.Firmly. D.Usually.

【3】Which of the following would the researchers agree to?

A.Selfish people tend to make others to be successful.

B.Unselfish people enjoy working with others in a group.

C.Selfish people devote more time and energy to their job.

D.Unselfish people prefer to finish their jobs on their own.

【4】What will the researchers study in the future?

A.Why generous people are more popular.

B.Why being generous have better outcomes.

C.If unselfishness leads to better pay and productivity.

D.Whether generosity pays off in other parts of the world.

22、   Some people may think that students who study abroad have more time for relaxation and less homework. But as a matter of fact, Grade 12 students in Canada are just as busy and pressured as students in China. In Canada, students have to pay equal attention to all the tests and assignments, as every little evaluation will directly affect their final grades.

To ease some of the stress from the important courses, like mathematics and English, students will often choose one or two fun courses in the last year of high school. Those classes can give students a fairly excellent final grade.

Take me as an example-the classes I am attending this semester include advanced functions, graphic design and history. All of them are really important to me, which means I have to pay more attention to them.

In order to get enough elective credits to grade, I chose a relatively easy course, nutrition and health. This course is aimed at helping students develop a healthy lifestyle and diet. The biggest highlight of this course is that students can experience cooking and baking, which I believe is the reason why there 're a large number of students on the waiting list Usually, there are one or two food labs every month. Teachers always let students decide what they want to cook or bake. Students are divided into four groups with six people, and teachers are given the recipe beforehand.

After attending this class for more than three months, I believe it's not as easy as others think it is because it's an interdisciplinary(跨学科) course that requires  basic knowledge of science, humanity and even culinary.

Despite these kinds of courses not being as demanding as others, we can still learn a lot from them. Some people might think they're “mark-boosting(促进分数的)” courses that don't need to be taken seriously. But I consider them to be a unique way to ease the tension or other schoolwork.

【1】Why do Grade 12 students in Canada take fun elective courses?

A.To pass the free time. B.To put theory into practice.

C.To adopt a healthy lifestyle. D.To get relief from schoolwork.

【2】It can be learned from paragraph 4 that Canadian elective classes are ____.

A.easy but boring B.diverse but stressful

C.practical and beneficial D.interesting and inspiring

【3】Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A.School Life in Canada B.Canada's Elective Classes

C.Educational System in Canada D.Tips for Choosing Elective Classes

23、   Some people are so rude!

Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?

Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.

In texts, you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slower than a text; Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.

My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mails?” my sister asked. “Just text him.”

In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business’ phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.

How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. Others, like me, want no reply.

The anthropologist(人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.

【1】Why didn’t the author listen to his father’s voice mail messages?

A.He thought voice mail would waste his time.

B.He thought voice mail was an impolite way of trying to connect.

C.He thought voice mail was an important way of communication.

D.He thought his father left him too many voice mails.

【2】What seems to be the author’s attitude toward texts?

A.Favorable. B.Doubtful.

C.Reserved. D.Disapproving.

【3】What does the author suggest modern people do in communication?

A.Learn from the old generation.

B.Ask once-acceptable questions.

C.Respond with a thank-you email.

D.Consider their audience.

24、   In the U. S. state of Washington, a road called Interstate(州际公路；州际的)90 cuts through a wild mountainous area to reach the city of Seattle. For the area's many kinds of animals, busy high- way greatly limits their movements. Animals need to move to find food, to find mates, to find new places to live as their populations expand or just when conditions change, like a fire breaks out. Crossing I-90 – as the road is called – is a risky but sometimes necessary act. But soon, animals will have a safer choice. They will be able to go above it.

To help the animals, the state is finishing work on its largest - ever wildlife bridge. The 11-meter-tall, 20 - meter - wide bridge begins in the forest. It forms two arches above the highway, one for each direction of traffic. Workers are adding fencing anti plants to help guide the animals across the bridge，Two-meter-thick walls will help block noise from vehicles below. Scientists chose the area because it is within a natural migration(迁徙)path for some animals.

The I -90 bridge is part of a growing number of wildlife crossings across the United States. Some are fences, some are overland bridges，and some are underpasses. They all aim to keep drivers and animals away from each other.

A U. S. Transportation Department study found crashes between animals and humans rose year by year. The accidents made up about 5 percent of all crashes nationally, and cost the economy (经济)about ＄ 8 billion. Such costs come from car repaid, emergency room visits and removal of the dead animals on roads. Collisions between animals and drivers are rarely deadly to people. But they are often deadly to wildlife. The study also found that 21 endangered or threatened species in the U.S. are affected by vehicle hits. Bridges, underpasses and fencing reduce I he area's animal - driver collisions by 80 percent.

Most of the wildlife bridges are in western states. Many other areas also need such paths. But finding money for more crossings is“the- number - one problem”. Patty Garvey — Darda of the U. S. Forest Service has worked on the I - 90 crossing from the start of the project. She says the $ 6 - million bridge will one day pay for itself because the highway will not have to be fully or partly closed each time a large animal is struck. “If you shut clown Interstate 90, you shut down interstate trade. ” she adds.

【1】What do we know about die I -90?

A. It goes from Washington D.C to Seattle,

B. It is dangerous for wild animals to cross.

C. It blocks the movements of wild animals.

D. It is the longest - ever highway in the world.

【2】What is being done to help the animals?

A. Building a wildlife bridge to keep drivers and animals away.

B. Designing walls to protect animals from traffic accidents.

C. forming 2 arches, one for traffic and the other for animals.

D. Choosing a natural and safe area for wild animals to live in.

【3】What can we learn from the study?

A. Traffic accidents went down gradually nationwide.

B. Most money was spent in rescuing wild animals,

C. Collisions are more deadly to wildlife than to people,

D. Some species no longer existed because of vehicle hits.

【4】Which of the statements may Patty Garvey - Darda agree with?

A. The bridge costs too much money.

B. Animals won11 be struck by drivers.

C. The effort to build the bridge will pay off.

D. Collisions won't affect national trade at all.
