21、As both a parent and a college professor, I have witnessed the destructive effects of test anxiety. Students with it can say quickly the material and explain complex content in a relaxed environment but fail in an exam. When it matters the most, students with test anxiety can convey the least.

Some students turn to drugs. With any medicine, there is a concern for safety, particularly when it is with the brain, the body’s most complicated and important organ. A new study suggests there may be a choice to these drugs for students: an open-label placebo (安慰剂).

Placebos have long been known to effectively reduce symptoms for different illnesses. Traditionally, service of a placebo treatment requires some tricks, in that people believe they are receiving an active, effective treatment, but in reality, they are taking a sugar pill or an activity that has no medical help. An open-label placebo is different: people are told from the start that they are receiving a placebo that contains no medication. And yet Schaefer’s findings indicate that people may still benefit from it.

Why did the placebo work? At this point, scientists are not entirely sure. Human mental processes can be changed by environment. Taking the pills each day may have encouraged participants to think about test anxiety and may have also provided a sense that they were doing something to deal with it.

Finally, although participants taking the placebos did show improvement on a number of self-report measures, they had no benefit over the control group with respect to scores on their final exams. They may have felt better about taking their exams, but those feelings did not change into improved test scores.

Despite these limits, the present findings are appealing and suggest a low-cost, low-risk way for reducing an all-too common problem among students.

【1】What can be inferred from the first paragraph?

A．Test anxiety prevents some students perform normally in exams.

B．Test anxiety can improve some students’ performance after exams.

C．A relaxed atmosphere helps students bring out their best in exams.

D．Some students’ performance in exams is connected with environment.

【2】Why do people feel placebos effective?

A．Because people feel it necessary psychologically.

B．Because people’s psychological feelings are at work.

C．Because placebos are made from sugar and taste sweet.

D．Because placebos are an open choice for the people taking it.

【3】What can be concluded from the fourth and fifth paragraphs?

A．Taking placebos can reduce test anxiety.

B．Taking placebos can improve test scores.

C．Taking placebos is not as effective as taking drugs.

D．Taking placebos can increase sense of achievement.

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．Drug, a public concern for brain safety.

B．Test anxiety, a destructive factor in exams.

C．Open-label placebo, a free choice for students.

D．Placebo, a likely way to deal with test anxiety.

23、   At 23, my career got going. I was midway through a master’s degree at The London School of Economics and Political Science and had been hired as a part-time reporter for a finance website. I got a great one-month review and my boss asked if I was interested in staying with the company after graduation.

However, balancing graduate studies with work was challenging. To deal with it, I checked my real self at my office door. I came in to work, greeted my colleagues and listened more than I contributed in each morning meeting. The small team I worked with often seemed busy, so rather than giving ideas that might get turned down, I stayed back.

After four months, my boss called me into his office. The meeting was going well until he told me that despite the great work I had produced, the team had held a meeting and decided, “We don’t think it’s the right fit.”

I must have looked confused. “You’re ambitious, intelligent and will be very successful,” my boss said. “But you haven’t made enough of an effort to join the team. You lost the enthusiasm you showed in your interview. That won’t work long term.” I couldn’t believe that performing well at my job wasn’t enough to keep it. But I knew my boss was right.

“Don’t leave before you leave.” Because we work so hard for success, we don’t like to think that we hurt ourselves sometimes. But each of us must change when necessary. In trying to earn a full time job, I “leaned back” in order not to show too much of myself or my lack of expertise. I learned the hard way isn’t the way to achieve your goals.

【1】Why did the author write this article?

A.To amuse the readers.

B.To introduce her wisdom.

C.To share her work experience.

D.To land a full-time job.

【2】What did the author mean by saying “I stayed back” in Paragraph 2?

A.She was no longer interested in the part-time job.

B.She was afraid to give her own ideas in her team.

C.She was active in expressing herself in her team.

D.She had no ideas to contribute in her team.

【3】Why did her boss call her into his office one day four months later?

A.She didn’t produce the great work.

B.She cared little about other members in her team.

C.She was concerned only about her own success.

D.She didn’t show enough enthusiasm in teamwork.

【4】What conclusion might the author draw from her work experience?

A.Not sharing enough during meetings could lead to being fired from your job.

B.Listening is more important than contributing in each morning meeting.

C.Getting along well with the other team members could help you keep to your job.

D.You must work so hard for your success that you don’t want to hurt yourself.

24、Many of us are used to hearing stories of people being pickpocketed in busy places. But most of us are aware of the dangers, so we are safe – at least, we think we are.

According to a BBC report, a growing number of thieves are trying to “hack (侵入) our mind’s weaknesses” to get their hands on our possessions.

“In fact, the key requirement for a successful pickpocket isn’t having quick fingers,” said the report. By using psychology, some pickpockets are taking advantage of the loopholes(漏洞) in our brains.

Our lack of ability to multitask is one of the most important loopholes used by pickpockets, the report explains. While this can often be a good trait(特点), allowing us to focus on the most important details in our surroundings, “a good trickster can use it against you, ” said neuroscientist Auzana Martinez-Conde.

“It’s all about directing people’s attention toward something else,” said James Brown, who studies the tricks of pickpocketing. Confidence, the power of suggestion, and certain hand movements such as moving your hands in an arc (弧形) are all said to be things that fool us.

Groups of pickpockets use a common trick designed to create a scene and confuse victims.

The first gang member, a “blocker”, walks in front of the victim and suddenly bumps into them. A second member of the gang then bumps into both of them from behind and stages an argument with the “blocker”. In the confusion, both men steal what they can and pass it to a third thief who quickly runs off with the stolen goods.

Some thieves go even further to exploit our psychology by hanging out near signs reading “beware of pickpockets”. Since this is one of the last places people expect to be robbed, many check where their valuables are, giving away their location to thieves.

But according to Brown, as long as we don’t daydream in public, we shouldn’t be worried.

“A street thief will avoid like the plague(瘟疫)” people who are demonstrating（展现）a very open awareness of their environment,” he said.

【1】According to the BBC report, the main strategy of a successful pickpocket is________.

A. to distract victims

B. to give themselves multiple tasks to do

C. to focus on the most important details

D. to use swift hand movements

【2】When groups of pickpockets use their common trick, ________.

A. it is the third thief’s task to steal what they can from the victim

B. the victim usually doesn’t dare to argue with them

C. the victim usually gets confused and lets down his or her guard

D. two members bump into the victim from different directions at the same time

【3】Why do some thieves hang out near signs saying things like “beware of pickpocketers”?

A. They think it is more thrilling to steal in those areas.

B. Normally there are no police officers around.

C. They don’t know common people’s psychology.

D. They have a better chance of locating people’s valuables there.

【4】According to James Brown, which of the following types of person is more likely to be pickpocketed?

A. People who look weak.

B. People who are walking slowly.

C. People who are absent-minded.

D. People who are alert to their surroundings.
