My only comfort was to be the stage manager at our school.
One day, actors from the famous Oregon Shakespeare Festival came to perform for the school. One of them was Barry Kraft, and he was unlike anyone I'd ever met. As I ran around backstage helping him, he treated me with friendliness and respect that he would show for friends in his living room.
He showed up at our drama class and asked everyone to narrate a monologue (独白). To my shock, he took me aside after class and said, "Your monologue was the best. That was really very good."
I made it through graduation and got accepted to college. That summer, I traveled with a friend to see Mr. Kraft perform. During one performance, I gathered up my courage and dropped him a note during the break, saying I was visiting and if he looked he could see us. Almost immediately I regretted sending the note. I thought it was the most presumptuous (冒失的) thing I had ever done.
At the end of the show, he was waiting for me! He smiled broadly and gave me a hug. Then he said, "Would you like to visit backstage?" And off we went. Every time we met someone, he introduced me and said, "She's a very good performer who was a huge help to me at her school visit."
It is difficult to describe how important this man's attention was to me. A successful actor doesn't have to give a depressed teenager the time of day, but he did far more. My confidence had just increased 800 percent. I am now a happily married professional, and whenever I notice a teenager in need, I remember Barry Kraft. He saw a teenager in need of attention and support, and he took the time to help. So now I take the time, too.
(1)、What do we know about the author?A、She was loved by her parents. B、She felt left out by her classmates. C、She suffered terribly from stage fright. D、She was troubled by the issue of overweight.(2)、Which of the following can best describe Barry Kraft?A、Friendly and considerate. B、Intelligent and patient. C、Committed and generous. D、Confident and energetic.(3)、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A、The author will continue with her education. B、Barry Kraft will team up with the author. C、Barry Kraft inspired the author to study drama. D、The author will make efforts to assist teenagers.(4)、What's the purpose of the text?A、To introduce a famous actor. B、To encourage people to overcome difficulties. C、To share the author's experience and its impact on her. D、To explain the reason why the author loves stage management.3. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。After a busy morning, lunch can feel like just the pick-me-up you need-but sometimes the meal that you thought would energize you is the very thing that makes you want to nap at your desk.
Feeling tired after lunch, or post-meals in general, is known as postprandial somnolence—or, colloquially, the food coma.
Part of this phenomenon is due to basic physiology (生理学): When humans eat, most of our blood goes to the digestive organs to process the food, said Sandra Arévalo, director of community health and wellness at Montefiore Nyack Hospital in New York state.
The tendency to get tired after eating isn't inherently suggestive of something amiss (出错的). But there can be additional factors that worsen this natural response, making getting through the rest of the workday or any activities feel like a slog. Here's what to watch out for and how to make adjustments.
When it comes to why you feel overly tired after eating, a common cause is consuming meals that are heavy in terms of quantity or quality. Not eating breakfast can lead to overindulging later in the day if excessive (过度的) hunger makes controlling your appetite difficult, Arévalo said.
Sometimes, however, the makeup of certain foods can contribute to tiredness. Fats are the hardest nutrient to digest because their molecules are much larger than those of protein or carbs, said Julie Stefanski, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. If you had a meal high in fat—such as fried foods or pizza—that could make you feel tired. Meals high in added sugar or refined or highly processed carbohydrates can have the same effect.
The fiber in so-called whole foods like corns slows the absorption of sugar into the body, which means they don't cause blood sugar or insulin spikes and instead give you more stable, lasting energy, said Kristin Kirkpatrick, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic.
"A five-minute walk or something helps to improve circulation and alertness (机敏), as well," Arévalo said.
(1)、What can we know from the third paragraph?A、Blood is bad for the digestive organs. B、Blood has varieties of tasks to carry out. C、Eating habits have a great effect on health. D、Eating too much can burden the digestive organs.(2)、Which of the following can replace the underlined word "overindulging"?A、over-consuming B、overweight C、felling sleepy D、lacking energy(3)、What is suggested by Kristin Kirkpatrick?A、Sugar cake. B、Pizza. C、Fried egg. D、Corn.(4)、Why does the author write the passage?A、To present a new study. B、To clarify a concept. C、To provide some guidance. D、To show a social phenomenon.4. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。If you are a psychology enthusiast, you have probably heard of the famous marshmallow (棉花糖) test. In this task, kids are given a single treat, such as a marshmallow, and are told that they can eat that marshmallow now, or they can wait a little while, and have two marshmallows instead.
Some kids eat the marshmallow immediately, but most try their best to wait for the experimenter to come back with two marshmallows.
Wait times in the marshmallow test came to be seen as indicators of self-control. But what if the behavior in the marshmallow test has more to do with cultural norms (准则) than self-control? A 2022 study by Yanaoka tested the idea that children may decide how long to wait for rewards based on what they are accustomed to waiting for in their culture. In the United States (with some exceptions), there is no widespread custom of waiting until everyone is served to eat your food. However, in Japan, there is a mealtime custom of waiting until everyone has been served before anyone digs in.
Because of this difference in norms, the researchers assumed that Japanese children would wait longer in the marshmallow test than the American children. This is exactly what they found. The researchers did a clever follow-up experiment. They found one field where children in the U.S. are accustomed to waiting longer than Japanese children are: Opening presents. In the U.S., gifts are usually given on special occasions, such as birthdays and Christmas. On these occasions, children usually have to wait before they can open their presents. In Japan, however, gift-giving happens more often, and children usually open presents immediately.
Given these cultural differences, Yanaoka expected that if they ran the marshmallow test with Japanese and American kids, but they replaced marshmallows with packaged gifts, then American kids would wait longer to open them. Once again, their assumption was correct. When the potential rewards were packaged gifts instead of food, American children waited 15 minutes on average, and Japanese children waited about four minutes on average.
This is a powerful result because it demonstrates the importance of culture and habit in shaping behavior. If a child waits only four minutes before giving up on two marshmallows but then waits almost four times longer to open a gift, can we really say that that child lacks self-control? I don't think so.
(1)、What is the main factor that influences children's behavior in the experiments?A、Self-control. B、Parental influence. C、Cultural norms. D、Reward preferences.(2)、What did the study find about American children? A. They often receive gifts.A、They display higher self-control. B、They prefer gifts to food rewards. C、They tend to wait longer to open gifts.(3)、How did Yanaoka conduct the follow-up experiment?A、By referring to data. B、By making a comparison. C、By introducing a concept. D、By presenting an argument.(4)、What is the author's attitude towards Yanaoka's study?A、Critical. B、Unclear. C、Doubtful. D、Approving.二、第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分

5. 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you want to learn the material you're studying—like, reallylearn it? One learning theory suggests that if you overlearn, you'll gain the ability to do something without having to think about it — and eventually obtain more knowledge. Here's what overlearning is and how to do it.
What is overlearning?
Simply put, overlearning means studying something even once you're sure you know it. Don't stop reviewing or studying just because you succeeded in memorizing something.
The purpose of overlearning is to make the task easy to ensure it is completed to a high standard with no stress. For example, a student wants to pass their spelling test which has 10 words. Knowing about overlearning, she doesn't just memorize each word, but also learns about the origins of each word. Similarly, a teacher wanting to learn about teaching strategies might not simply read one book — they may read ten books, watch videos, attend lectures (and maybe even write their own book).
How do you overlearn?
For instance, when using the Leitner method, always review all the flashcards you're assigned on a particular day, even if you feel like passing over them because you got them right last time. Repeatedly going over material you know well is the key to overlearning and eventual automatic recall.
Schedule blocks of time in your week for reviewing materials you've already mastered. Continually reintroducing familiar ideas to yourself will dig them deeper into your long term memory.
A. Overlearning has several benefits.
B. Then what you need to do is overlearn it.
C. Review material you already know front to back.
D. This takes time, but it makes the spelling test a walk in the park.
E. Instead, keep going, digging it deeper and deeper into your brain.
F. In real life, we sometimes want to learn more than one similar task.
G. This can be as easy as re-reading your notes, or as complex as taking practice tests.

6. 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项
When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was 1 , and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my2 . His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to shock. "You're3 my grade?" he said angrily. "I would never have come in4 …"
He didn't finish the5 , but it was obvious that his display of honesty was6 . He thought he'd have it all—praise and the higher grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade7 because all I'd accomplished was to discourage him from being8 in the future. And every time I tell this story some people agree with this9 .
But I can't see how I could give good reason for worsening my10 in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to11 an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest12 of his knowledge and it would have been13 to other students. How could I14 give a student a gift of an unearned grade?
I know15 reporting an error in one's favor is unusual, but, like16 too much change, it's clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up17 as much as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is18 enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps lowering the student's grade did19 him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it's cost-free would have20 him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.
