Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions（使命）often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so
tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work. This type of schedule is far too
demanding for long missions on the International Space Station（ISS）. ISS crewmembers usually
live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the
normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible . Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest
and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email ,
Internet phone and through private video conferences.

Room 3 The footwear Library
While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar
activities that they can still enjoy . Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crewmember
put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to
look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also
receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters . And as from early 2010, the
internet became available on the ISS , giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing（冲浪）”
in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply
enjoy the experience of living in space.
Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out of the

Make Up Your Mind to Succeed
Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The
generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were
played down because "everyone's a winner." And their report cards sounded more positive than ever
before. AS a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them "the overprized
generation."
Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. 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.
5
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.
59. What does the author think about the present generation?
A. They don't do well at school. B. They are often misunderstood.
C. They are eager to win in sports. D. They are given too much praise.
60. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who _______
A. doesn't want to work hard B. cares a lot about personal safety
C. cannot share his ideas with others D. can succeed with the help of teachers
61. what does the growth mind-set believe?
A. Admitting failure is shameful. B. Talent comes with one's birth.
C. Scores should be highly valued. D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.
62. What should parents do for their children based on Dweck's study?
A. Encourage them to learn from failures. B. Prevent them from making mistakes.
C. Guide them in doing little things. D. Help them grow with praise.
D
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but
have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still
swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still
ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the
words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember
the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning , which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned
something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing
baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such
as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only
learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather
quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in
childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may
result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may
learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost
everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future
development.
63. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?
A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
6
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children are easy to remember.
author explains the law of overlearning by_________.
A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules
C. making a comparison D. using examples
65. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.
A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming
C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies
66. What is the author's opinion on cramming?
A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. It's helpful only in a limited way.
C. It's possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students' learning interest.

To take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely story the Christians ever cooked up. For
them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil（邪恶的）. So when Columbus brought the tomato back from
South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion.
Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans.
What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake, a plant that was thought to
have come from Hell（地狱）. What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like
a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits. Tough the tomato and the mandrake were quite
different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and
the same, too terrible to touch.
Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most of the Western people
continued to drag their feet. In the 1880s, the daughter of a well-known plant expert wrote that the most
interesting part of an afternoon tea at her father’s house had been the “introduction of this wonderful
new fruit —— or is it a vegetable?” As late as the twentieth century some writers still classed tomatoes
with mandrakes as an “evil fruit”.
But in the end tomatoes carried the day. The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert
Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820, people journeyed for hundreds of
miles to watch him drop dead. “ What are you afraid of ? ” he shouted. “I’ll show you fools these
things are good to eat!” Then he bit into the tomato. Some people fainted. But he survived and,
according to a local story, set up a tomato-canning factory.
67. The tomato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because ______.
A. it made Christians evil B. it was the apple of Eden
C. it came from a forbidden land D. it was religiously unacceptable
68. What can we infer from the underlined part in Paragraph 3 ?
A. The process of ignoring the tomato slowed down
B. There was little progress in the study of the tomato
C. The tomato was still refused in most western countries
D. Most western people continued to get rid of the tomato
69. What is the main reason for Robert Johnson to eat the tomato publicly ?
A . To make himself a hero
7
B . To remove people’s fear of the tomato
C . To speed up the popularity of the tomato
D. To persuade people to buy products from his factory
70. What is the main purpose of the passage ?
A . To challenge people’s fixed concept of the tomato
B . To give an explanation to people’s dislike of the tomato
C. To present the change of people’s attitudes to the tomato
D. To show the process of freeing the tomato from religious influence

One Possible Version
Three years ago I failed an important exam in my life and became a student in an ordinary school.
Disappointed as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorly-equipped classroom, I found the teachers patient
and considerate. Besides, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class. I decided to make the best of it. I
worked hard and got along well with my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they were
always available. Soon, I became one of the top students in my class, which greatly increased my confidence
and got me motivated.
My experience tells me that it is not what you are given but how you make use of it that determines who
you are.
