20.Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has.There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.
We experience this tiredness in two ways:as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue.In the former case,we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult.And the longer we delay it,the more tired we feel.
Such start-up fatigue is very real,even if not actually physical,not something in our muscles and bones.The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply:always handle the most difficult job first.
Years ago,I was asked to write 102essays on the great ideas of some famous authors.Applying my own rule,I determined to write them in alphabetical order(按字母顺序),never letting myself leave out a tough idea.And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing.Experience proved that the rule works.
Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.Though willing to get started,we cannot seem to do the job right.Its difficulties appear so great that,however hard we work,we fail again and again.In such a situation,I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over.
When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》),I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles.Nothing like this had ever been done before,and day after day I kept coming up with solutions,but none of them worked.My fatigue became almost unbearable.
One day,mentally exhausted,I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved.I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself,not with me.Relieved,I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.
An hour later,I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind.In the weeks that followed,the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step.Though I worked as hard as before,I felt no fatigue.Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.
Human beings,I believe must try to succeed.Success,then,means never feeling tired.
9.People with start-up fatigue are most likely to.A
A.delay tasks        
B.work hard         
C.seek help           
D.accept failure
10.On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?B
A.Before starting a difficult task.
B.When all the solutions fail.
C.If the job is rather boring.
D.After finding a way out.
11.According to the author,the unconscious mind may help usD.
A.ignore mental problems                   
B.get some nice sleep
C.gain complete relief                         
D.find the right solution
12.What could be the best title for the passage?C
A.Success Is Built upon Failure
B.How to Handle Performance Fatigue
C.Getting over Fatigue:A Way to Success
D.Fatigue:An Early Sign of Health Problems.
1.Decisions,decisions!Our lives are full of them,from the small ones to the life-changing.The right to choose is central to everyone.Yet sometimes we make bad decisions that leave us unhappy or full of regret.Can science help?
Most of us know little about the mental processes that lie behind our decisions.Luckily,what psychologists are finding may help us all make better choices.Here are some of their amazing discoveries to help you make up your mind.
Consider your emotions.You might think that emotions are the enemy of decision making,but in fact they're a part of it.Whenever you make up your mind,your brain's emotional center is active.University of Southern California scientist,Antonio Damasio,has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains,and found that they were unable to make basic choices about what to wear or eat.Damasio thinks this may be because our brains store emotional memories of past choices,which we use to help the present decision making.
However,making choices under the influence of an emotion can greatly affect the result.Take anger,for example.A study by Nitika Garg of the University of Mississippi and other scientists found the angry shoppers were more likely to choose the first thing they were offered rather than consider other choices.It seems anger can lead us to make quick decisions without much thinking.
All emotions affect our thinking and motivation(动机),so it may be best to avoid making important decisions under their influence.Yet strangely there's one emotion that seems to help us make good choices.The American researchers found that sad people took time to consider the various choices on offer,and ended up making the best choices.In fact many studies show that people who feel unhappy have the most reasonable view of the world.

65.According to the text,what may help us make better decisions?B
A.To think about happy times.
B.To learn about the process of decision-making.
C.To make many decisions at a time.
D.To stop feeling regretful about the past
66.Damasio's study suggests thatD.
A.emotions are the enemy of decision making
B.people with physical damage find it hard to make up their minds
C.our brain has nothing to do with decision making
D.our emotional memories of past choices can affect present decisions
67.Why are angry shoppers more likely to choose the first thing they are offered?B
A.They often forget their past choices.
B.They make decisions without much thinking.
C.They tend to save time when shopping.
D.They are too angry to bargain.
68.What do we learn from the text?D
A.Sad people always make worst choices.
B.No emotion seems to help us make good choices.
C.Only sad feelings affect our thinking and motivation.
D.Emotions are a part of decision making.
18.Masako Kai
I don't think it's good for teens to devote so much time to training for the Olympics because I think that too much pressure is not good for anybody and some young athletes want to do other things.If they are training all day for the Olympics,they will forget how to enjoy athletic events and will hate them.They need to take a rest sometimes.
Hiromi Maruyama
I think if the teenager wants to take part in the Olympics,to practice many hours each day is not bad.Watching the Olympics on TV.I feel like taking part in the Olympics.Then I am willing to make that kind of sacrifice(牺牲).It is very good memory and gives confidence to athletes,so I think that if teenage athletes spend a lot of time on practice,it is good.
Ai Onitsuka
I think it's not good for youngsters,but if they want to win the Olympic Games,they have to practice many hours every day.Most young people want freedom,but if they want to accomplish something,it is important that they accept some restrictions(限制).
Maybe they feel very annoyed and they want to stop their practice,but these feelings are connected to their strong will to win the Olympic Games.But it is more important that they take holidays sometimes.They have to refresh their feelings,so they can practice with new spirit.
Meiko Miyagawa
Most Olympic athletes start practicing sports in early childhood.The practice is very hard.Sometimes they cry,but they continue the practice because they like their sports.When I watched a TV sports interview,a small girl said,"I want to become an Olympic champion."I was surprised because the girl was only 6years old.

65.What are the four people talking about?D
A.How teens practice for the Olympics.
B.Why teens want to take part in the Olympic Games.
C.Different ways to train young Olympic athletes.
D.Whether teens should spend so much time training for the Olympics.
66.Who obviously agrees that teenagers should spend a lot of time practicing for the Olympics?B
A.Masako Kai.    B.Hiromi Maruyama.
C.Ai Onitsuka.   D.Meiko Miyagawa.
67.According to Ai Onitsuka,D.
A.young athletes should practice hard every day
B.young athletes usually feel annoyed during the training
C.winning the Olympic Games is more important
D.young athletes should take a rest sometimes
68.What surprised Meiko Miyagawa is that a six-year-old girlC.
A.can be an Olympic champion  B.was interviewed by the reporters
C.could say such words        D.is trained for the Olympics.
