One of Scotland's most active centenarians ( 百岁的人), Lady Morton, drove for nearly 80 years. She loved driving and spent the war years as an ambulance driver for Bangour Hospital. Aged 100 she was still driving around Edinburgh, up to Perthshire and elsewhere — the oldest among all the drivers in Scotland. But she had her first ever accident several days after her 100th birthday — she hit a traffic island (a raised area in the middle of a road where people can wait until it is safe to cross) when she took her new car for a drive in Edinburgh.
Lady Morton, who celebrated her 100th birthday in July, was given a car as a present. She talked about the accident happened that night. “I wasn't going fast, but I hit a traffic island. I couldn't see it, because it had no light, which I think was unbelievable and unreasonable. But I am all right and luckily my car wasn't badly damaged.
Although Lady Morton had the accident, she didn't plan to stop driving.“Some people are just born to drive, and I think I am one of them. I've been a good driver since the first time I got in a car, she said. “I am musical, so I listen to sound of the car to know when to change gear (档位).
Lady Morton bought her first car in 1927. The main change she had noticed since then is the traffic. “It's appalling. However, I don't mind it, because I am experienced, but I feel very sorry for beginners,” she said.
(1)What was special about Lady Morton?
A.She was 100 years old.
B.She had the fewest traffic accidents.
C.She was the oldest driver in Scotland.
D.She had the most years of driving experience.
(2)How did Lady Morton's first accident happen?
A.She had poor eyesight.
B.She was driving too fast.
C.The traffic island was dark.
D.The lights of her car weren't on.
(3)What do Lady Morton's words in Paragraph 3 suggest?
A.She had a deep love for cars.
B.She was quite good at driving.
C.She had a great musical ability.
D.She drove better than any other driver.
(4)What does the underlined word “appalling” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Very good.
B.Fantastic.
C.Not bad.
D.Terrible.

【题目】Regrets are often painful. A study suggests that some people can overcome them, said Jia Wei Zhang, a psychology graduate at the University of California. But this isn’t the case for everyone, he said.
The researchers wondered why some people report feeling improvement from regrets but others don’t. Does it lie in how people approach their regrets?
In the study, the researchers focused on self-compassion (自我同情) as a potential factor in why some people have an easier lime leaving their regrets behind them.
400 people attended an experiment. First, they were asked to write about their biggest regret. Half wrote something they did but wish they hadn’t done; the other half wrote something they didn’t do but wish they had. Then, the participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: self compassion, self-esteem and a control group. The self-esteem group was asked to respond by “talking to yourself about this regret from the aspect of confirming your positive qualities”.
The control group was asked to write about their favorite hobby rather than their regret. Then, they were asked about their feelings of forgiveness, acceptance and personal improvement following the exercise.
They found that the self-compassion group reported greater feelings of acceptance, forgiveness and personal improvement, compared with the control group and the self esteem group. In other words, focusing on your best qualities is not what helps you feel better about a regret. Rather, being compassionate toward yourself is what may make a difference, the researchers found.
It’s possible that people who practice self-compassion are able to confront their regrets and see what went wrong, so they can make a better choice in the future, Zhang told Live Science. Self-compassion pushes people to accept their regret instead of running away from it.
The researchers used an example of this from a previous study on breast cancer patients who were asked to try thinking about their treatment in a positive light before it began. The women who did so reported greater feelings of personal growth later on.
【1】What does the underlined word “confront” in Paragraph 7 mean?
A. Handle B. Forget.
C. Ignore D. Show.
【2】What were the students in the self-esteem group asked to do?
A. Think of a way out. B. Write about their regrets.
C. Record their favorite hobbies. D. Treat their regrets in positive ways.
【3】Why were the participants asked about their good qualities?
A. To cover up their regrets.
B. To see if they have weaknesses.
C. To see if they have self compassion.
D. To help them feel better about their regrets.
【4】What was the aim of mentioning the researchers’ study on breast cancer patients?
A. To show the method of the research.
B. To show the value of the acceptance.
C. To show the truth of people’s feeling.
D. To show the difficulty of the research.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Traditionally, across the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions (情感) and encourage them to take part in activities such as art, dance and music.
Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to take part in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和…相符) the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".
The findings of the study go against accepted wisdom that boys do better when taught together with girls.
Tony Little, head master of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.
But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor (量身定做) lessons to boys' learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study's author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with "boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around. "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes," James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means," the study reported.
(1)The author believes that a single-sex school would __________.
A.force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men"
B.help boys to be more competitive in schools.
C.encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
D.naturally strengthen boys' traditional image of a man
(2)It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys __________.
A.behave more responsibly.
B.grow up more healthily.
C.perform relatively better.
D.receive a better education.
(3)According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is __________.
A.teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
B.boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted
C.boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D.teaching can be designed to promote boys' team spirit
(4)What does the underlined word “acute” in paragraph 8 mean?
A.lovely
B.sharp
C.serious
D.dull
