8．Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure．The generati——青夏教育精英家教网—

8．Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure．The generation born between 1980and 2001grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because"everyone's winter．"And their report cards sounded more positive than ever before．As a result，Stanford University professor Carol Dweck，PhD，calls them"the overpraised generation．"
Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40years．Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it．Here's how they work：
A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent is genetic-you're a born artist，point guard，or numbers person．The fixed mind-set believes it's sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame．When things get difficult，it's quick to blame，lie，and even stay away from future difficulties．
On the other hand，a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible．Because the ego （自尊） isn't on the line as much，the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame．When faced with a difficulty，it's quick to rethink，change and try again．In fact，it enjoys this experience．
We are all born with growth mind-sets．（Otherwise，we wouldn't be able to live in the world．） But parents，teachers，and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise．Dweck's book，Mind-set：The New Psychology of Success，and online instructional program explain this in depth．But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children，grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure．

5．Clara Barton，founder of the American Red Cross，gained worldwide honor for her devotion to easing human suffering and earned the nickname"Angel of the Battlefield．"
     Barton was born into a liberal freethinking family in 1821．Her elder brothers and sisters happily taught her in math and reading，so when she entered school at three years old，she could read and spell simple words．（36）G
     Concerned about Barton's difficulty in making friends，her parents sent her to a boarding school，hoping it would make her more comfortable with her peers．（37）BBarton lost her appetite and cried constantly．After only one term，she had to be brought home．Then，Barton stayed out of school to nurse her older brother through a serious injury and also volunteered to care for poor families during a smallpox（天花）outbreak．
      In 1861，the Civil War broke out．The sight of wounded soldiers touched Barton deeply．She began to collect and distribute food，bandages，medicines，and other supplies for the Union army．
      （38）DThere，with little concern for her own safety，she cooked meals，assisted surgeons，and comforted wounded soldiers．
      Eventually，because of working too hard，Barton collapsed，ill with typhoid fever．（39）E It was there that she learned of an organization based in Switzerland一called the International Red Cross，whose work mirrored her own．
      Shortly after Barton arrived back home in 1873，her sister died．（40）AWhen recuperating（休养）at a health facility in New York，she began planning for the establishment of an American wing of the International Red Cross．Although at first the authorities resisted，her efforts finally paid off．The American Red Cross was officially organized on May 21，1881．Her influence lives on today in the work of the organization she founded．

F．Barton spent the following several months learning basics about Swiss Cross．
G．She easily kept up with the older children academically but did not fit in socially．

4．On a clear night，the sky is a wonderful thing．Is there life out there somewhere？Is there another place like Earth where life might exist？If so，where is it？And how far away is it？
Recently，the American Kepler spacecraft found"22b"，a planet about six hundred light years away．It is the first planet in a"habitable zone"outside the solar system．That means the planet orbits a star like our Sun，but it is not too close to it，nor too far away．Because of this position，scientists say Kepler22b might have water，one of the main things needed for life．
The newly-discovered planet is about two and a half times larger than the Earth．It is closer to its star than we are to the Sun，but 22b's sun is smaller than ours，and doesn't produce as much heat．Scientific instruments show the new planet could be made of gases，rocks or some kinds of liquids．
The Kepler spacecraft was named in honor of Johannes Kepler，the seventeenth century German astronomer．It was designed to examine a small part of the Milky Way galaxy and search for places like the Earth．It was made to inspect over 150，000 stars and measure how bright they are．
If a planet passes between Kepler and the star，it blocks out part of the light．That is what suggested to scientists that there is at least one planet orbiting the star．The instruments on Kepler show the new planet as a small，black dot moving across its sun．An important part of the Kepler experiment is on the Earth．After the spacecraft gathers information，scientists use the space telescopes on the ground．
Scientists have found over 2，300 new planets since Kepler was launched．About 200 of these are about the size of the Earth．Most are much larger，but it is the new planet's length from its star that is important．For life to possibly exist there，the planet's temperature must not be too hot or too cold．
29．What can we learn about Kepler-22b？D
A．Water must have existed on it．
B．It takes humans about 600 years to get there．
C．It is made of gases，rocks and many kinds of liquids．
D．It is the first planet outside the solar system where life may survive．
30．The Kepler spacecraft was sent into space toB．
A．show honor to Johannes Kepler
B．look for Earth-like planets in the sky
C．observe the changes of a star's brightness
D．measure the brightest star among 150，000 stars
31．In Paragraph 5 the author mainly tells usA．
A．how the Kepler system works
B．if the Kepler system sees a new planet
C．how the Kepler system uses the space telescopes
D．why an important part of the Kepler system remains on the Earth
32．What can we infer from the passage？D
A．Life may exist on the new planet in another form．
B．It is colder on the new planet because its sun is smaller．
C．Life can't exist on planets which are much larger than the Earth．
D．The new planet's length from its star decides on the possibility of life existence．

3．Dear Alcohol，
    You've been around forever．I can remember all the pain you've caused for me．
Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life？I do．He loves you．Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me．He's addicted（上瘾） to you，to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them．You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street，crashing into two other cars．He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night．
    Do you remember the night of my first high school party？You were there．My friends were intrigued by you．They treated you as if they were never going to see you again，drinking all of you that they could．I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely．Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you．
   Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons？Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car？He died the next morning too．His sister walked home from her dance lesson，and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio．She didn't realize her brother was in the middle of it all．She never saw him again．And it's all your fault．
I wish you'd walk out of my life forever．I don't want anything to do with you．Look at all the pain you've caused．Sure，you've made people happy too from time to time．But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable．Stop luring （引诱） in the people I love．Stop hurting me，please．
Sincerely，
Anonymous

19．Students who say they never or hardly ever use dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly，because they make many mistakes．
The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either．The ones who look up every new word do not read fast．Therefore they do not have time to read much．Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems．Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English．But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English．
The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100，000 words but do not use them too often．When they are reading，these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context．Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand．They use dictionaries more for writing．If they are not sure how to spell a word，or divide it into syllables （音节），they always use a dictionary．Also，if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form，they check these in a dictionary．
