【题目】 If you were like most kids, your mother must have told you there were three no-no’s when it came to your fingers: Don’t put them in an electrical outlet, don’t stick them up your nose (at least not in public), and don’t use them when you are counting. 【1】 But experts in education and cognition now believe that using your fingers to do math is not only a perfectly good idea but may even help children become superior students.
It certainly makes sense. When children count on their fingers, they take an abstract concept — mathematics — and translate it into the most basic and visual form 【2】. Even when we aren’t actually counting on figures, they still can help us on math problems.
【3】 It activates when we respond to heat, pressure, pain, or the use of a given finger.
Studying brain scans, researchers discovered that when students aged 8 to 13 work on subtraction (减法 ) equations, this region “lights up” on the scans, even if the students aren’t using their fingers. The more complex the problem is, the more activities are detected.
The connection between finger use and math ability has been proved on old-fashioned math tests as well. With their eyes closed, first graders were asked to identify which of their fingers a researcher was touching. 【4】. When college students were given the same quiz, the highest scores once again performed best on calculation tests.
So what does all this mean? For one thing, parents and teachers shouldn’t discourage children from counting on their fingers. 【5】. Memorizing the multiplication tables may help, but it is not the best option. “I would like to see interesting and creative representations of ideas.” says Jo Boaler, a professor of math education.
Recently, a series of activities have been designed to strengthen students’ perception of their fingers. Maybe in the near future, there will be only two no-no’s regarding the use of fingers.
A.There is a section of the brain, called the somatosensory finger area.
B.Researchers also stress that students simply learn better using visual tools.
C.The first two laws of fingers are as true as ever.
D.That may sound simplistic, but the researchers offer an interesting explanation.
E.Researchers found those scoring highest on the finger-ID questions scored higher on a math test.
F.Researchers are unimpressed by those students who finish quickly as well.
G.In fact, experts believe the brain is built to “see” any process with our fingers.

Researchers Are Racing to Make a Coronavirus Vaccine. Will It Help?
In the early days of January, as cases of a strange, pneumonia-like illness 【1】 (report) in China, researchers at the National Institutes of Health readied themselves to hunt 【2】 a vaccine to prevent the new disease.
Scientists in Australia are also working on vaccine candidates 【3】 (stop) the spread of the disease. Historically, vaccines have been one of the greatest public health 【4】(tool) to prevent disease. But even as new technology, advancements in genomics(基因组学) and improved global coordination have allowed researchers to move at unprecedented speed, vaccine 【5】(develop) remains an expensive and risky process. That’s 【6】 the vaccines must undergo extensive testing in animals and humans. In the best case, it takes at least a year — and most likely 【7】(long) — for any vaccine to become available to the public.
With each new outbreak, scientists 【8】 (typical) have to start from scratch. After the SARS outbreak in 2003, 【9】 took researchers about 20 months from the release of the viral genome(基因组) to get a vaccine ready for human trials. By the time an epidemic 【10】 (cause) by the Zika virus occurred in 2015, researchers brought the timeline down to six months. Now, they hope the joint efforts will cut that time in half.

【题目】 Like clockwork, nearly every fourth February includes one extra day. February 29th, otherwise known as Leap Day, isn’t exactly a holiday. Instead, it’s there to keep your calendar consistent with the earth’s rotation (旋转) around the sun.
According to History, com, Roman emperor Julius Caesar is the “father” of Leap Year. Until he came along, people used a 355-day calendar, which was 10.25 days shorter than the solar year. Roman officials were supposed add an extra month every now and then to keep the seasons exactly where they should be. But that didn’t work out all that well. When special occasions started shifting into different seasons around 45 BCE, Caesar consulted with astronomers and decreed (下令) that the empire should use a 12-month, 365-day calendar, which he named after himself, Caesar’s Julian calendar included a Leap Day every four years.
Though Leap Day keeps your calendar in line with the earth’s rotation around the sun, it causes a different kind of problem for leapsters. When should these February 29th babies celebrate their birthdays during the other three-quarters of their lives? Some party on February 28th, while others prefer a two-day celebration that spans the last day of February and the first day of March.
Leap Day can be a nuisance in the legal system. In 2006, a court in Massachusetts was deciding whether criminal John Melo could be released a day early since his 10-year sentence included a Leap Day. In the case, the judge decided that since the man was sentenced to prison for years, not days. Leap Day didn’t make a bit of difference.
Though a few timekeepers have pushed for calendars that don’t include Leap Day, almost all astronomers and societies agree that Leap Day is the best method to keep the calendar on track.
【1】Why was Leap Day created?
A.To celebrate special occasions.B.To honor Emperor Julius Caesar.
C.To keep pace with the solar year.D.To keep track of all the seasons.
【2】What is the problem with the birthday celebration of February 29th babies?
A.It is sometimes delayed.B.It lasts at least two days.
C.It has to be held every other year.D.It may take place on different dates.
【3】What does the underlined word “nuisance” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Joke.B.Topic.
C.Trouble.D.Mistake.
【4】what is the attitude of most astronomers towards Leap Day?
A.Critical.B.Supportive.
C.Doubtful.D.Cautious.

For decades, sociologists have been trying to understand why certain people rise to the top of their fields. A number of theories have emerged, so if you're struggling on the path of success, perhaps these will give you some new clues.
IQ is Overrated
A high IQ is necessary, but it is not adequate to predict executive competence and corporate success. While people with high test scores do have more opportunities, that doesn't mean that smart people are more successful. In fact, in many fields the link between success and intelligence is often weak or non-existent. Nobel Prize winning Israeli-American psychologist, Daniel Kahneman, found that people would rather do business with a person they like and trust rather than someone they don’t, even if the likeable person is offering a lower quality product or service at a higher price.
The 10,000 Hours Theory
A Professor at the University of Colorado named Anders Ericsson decided to look at the differences between amateurs and professionals. In 1993, he released a paper that found on average amateurs only got about 4000 hours of practice, but professionals had practiced for at least 10,000 hours. While there's some debate over whether 10,000 hours is a rule or just a theory, many experts agree that a significant number of people who are considered "great" have, on average, 10,000 hours of experience.
Deliberate Practice
If no one is born talented and you need 10,000 hours of practice, what's the most effective way of using those hours? One theory is something sociologists call "deliberate practice." Essentially, there are six elements. The practice needs to be meant to specifically improve performance, and is even more effective if there's coaching. It needs to be repeatable, and feedback regularly is crucial. It also has to be demanding, either physically or mentally. If you're doing all of this correctly, it shouldn't be a fun experience. An example would be a basketball player who isn't very good at free throws spending hours and hours just doing free throws while being coached. Not a great time no matter how big of a basketball fan you are.
No One Succeeds on Their Own
While it would be nice to succeed simply because we work hard, life doesn't work that way. We need help and support from friends, family and teachers, and then we need chances from employers and other key figures in the fields we choose to pursue. In order to succeed, the gifts and interests of a person need to be encouraged, especially at a young age. Then as they grow up, people need to be given opportunities, breaks and second chances. Without help from other people, it makes it impossible to succeed because as Gladwell points out, "… no one—not rock stars, not professional athletes, not software billionaires, and not even geniuses — ever makes it alone."
You Have Amazing Potential
On average, the human mind can remember a sequence of seven to nine numbers. After that it becomes incredibly hard to remember all the numbers in the right order. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University wanted to know if someone of average intelligence could break that barrier with practice. Through a lot of tests, researchers discovered what they called "the remarkable potential of 'ordinary' adults and their amazing capacity for change with practice." Their research showed that even "ordinary" people have the potential to be great by challenging themselves. If you work hard, your goals can be more attainable than you thought.
Passage outline | Supporting details | |
Introduction | Sociologists have been wondering what makes some people successful for years and the following will give you some 【1】into it. | |
Some 【2】 | IQ is Overrated | ◆By itself, a high IQ doesn’t 【3】 mean that you will stand out and rise above others. ◆People show 【4】 for more trustworthy business partners rather than those with only higher IQ. |
The 10,000 Hours Theory | ◆What 【5】amateurs from professionals is that amateurs only get about 4000 hours of practice while professionals get for at least 10,000 hours. | |
Deliberate Practice | ◆Deliberate Practice needs to be 【6】at improving performance specifically and will be more effective with coaching. ◆Deliberate Practice needs to be repeatable and feedback on a regular 【7】is crucial. ◆Whatever 【8】you have for something, it’s no easy task to do deliberate Practice since it is demanding. | |
No One Succeeds on Their Own | ◆【9】to the common belief, you can’t live without other people’s help. | |
You Have Amazing Potential | ◆Through much practice and by challenging youselves, you can break the barrier and 【10】your goals. | |
