短文改错

Three years ago I was admitted to an ordinary school. Disappointing as I felt at the poorly?equipped classroom, I found the teachers patient and considerately. What's more, I was very fond in the friendly atmosphere in class. I was determined to make best of it. I worked hard and get along well with my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they were always ready to helping me out. Soon, I became one of the top student in my class, which made me to become confident and motivated.

What I experienced in high school tell me that it is not what you are given but how you make use of it which determines who you are.

Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne is a hotspot travel destination, and it's easy to see its beautiful beaches and busy city life.

As an English?speaking country, you won't be faced with any language barriers. Melbourne is easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!

Why it's a great choice:Thailand is known for its friendly atmosphere, and as a travel hotspot, there are plenty of chances to meet other like?minded travelers. Well known for being very cheap, especially in the north. A good choice if you want to get away on a budget.

Two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior.

One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.

They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner's Dilemma. The game is based on the tension (紧张气氛) between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher.

Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least. And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings were. The group with the most punishment earned twenty?five percent less than the group with the least punishment. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.

The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More

than eight hundred children aged two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children aged five to nine.

The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not. The study says the IQs — or intelligence quotients — of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points.

Murray Strauss from the University of New Hampshire worked with Mallie Paschall from the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation. Professor Strauss has written extensively about physical punishment of children. He says the more they are spanked, the slower their mental development. He also looked at average IQs in other nations and found them lower where spanking was more common.

1.Which could be the best title of the passage?

A.Punishment

B.The Best Way to Influence Behavior

C.Punishment or Reward: Which Works Better on Behavior?

D.Two Recent Studies

2.The underlined word “spanked” probably means “______”.

C.tested D.praised

A.rewarding good behavior

B.correcting bad behavior

C.punishing badly?behaved children

D.praising well?behaved children

4.The author develops the passage ________.

A.in order of time

B.in order of importance

“A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website” is the definition of “selfie” in the Oxford English Dictionary. In fact, it wasn't even in the dictionary until August of 2013. It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed with (对……痴迷) selfies — we take them when we try on a new hat, play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven't seen in a while.

But is there any scientific explanation for this obsession? Well, you should probably ask James Kilner, a neuroscientist (神经系统科学家) at University College London.

Through our lifetime we become experts at recognizing and interpreting other people's faces and facial expressions. In contrast, according to Kilner, we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them — we just feel them most of the time.

This has been proved in previous studies, according to the BBC.

Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture. This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better?looking than we actually are. To further test how we actually perceive our own faces, Kilner carried out another study. He showed people different versions of their own portrait — the original, one that had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive — and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them. They chose the more attractive version.

But what does it say about selfies? Well, isn't that obvious? Selfies give us the power to create a photograph — by taking it from various angles, with different poses, using filters (滤色镜) and so on — that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.

“You suddenly have control in a way that you don't have in non?virtual (非虚拟的) interactions,” Kilner told the Canada?based CTV News. Selfies allow you “to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you're happy with”, he explained.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The definition and fun of taking selfies.

B.A study of why people love taking selfies.

C.How taking selfies influences people's daily lives.

D.How to interpret people's facial expressions in their selfies.

2.The underlined word “perceive” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “________”.

A.interpret B.beautify

C.choose D.explain

3.According to Kilner, people like taking selfies probably because they think ________.

A.it is a good chance to learn more about their actual faces

B.it is a way to respond to others' facial expressions correctly

C.it enables them to interact with their friends in social media

D.it allows them to satisfy their expectations with their appearances
