At the beginning of graduate school, I knew that if I wanted to get tenure(长期聘用), I had to be productive. However, when my first three papers were rejected by major journals, a leading expert told me my projects were hopeless, and I wondered if I should drop out.
We all get rejected at work, whether it's having our suggestions shot down or getting fired from a job. It causes pain. Neuroscientists(神经系统科学家) have scanned the brains of people who have cruelly been excluded from an online game. The physiological (生理学的) response looks fairly similar to processing physical pain.
Apparently, this was adaptive in our evolutionary past. If rejection didn't hurt, you might have been perfectly comfortable leaving your tribe, which would not be good for your survival. But it's left us nervous and likely to overreact to everyday rejections. If you've ever given a presentation and felt upset by the one unfriendly face in a room full of smiles, you know what I mean.
That's the bad news. The good news is that we can learn to accept rejection calmly. “When you're insecure in one, you rely on the other one that's doing better at that time. Pliability(柔韧性) is the definition of strength,” said filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan.
When my work got rejected early in my academic career, pliability became my source of strength. My identity as a researcher was under threat, but that wasn't what had drawn me to graduate school in the first place. I had another, stronger identity: I wanted to be a teacher. However, I hadn't had the chance: The first two years of my program were supposed to focus entirely on research.
I realized that if I wanted to bounce back from the research rejections, I had to find a way to teach. I convinced an adviser to sign off on independent study projects for a group of students, and I started meeting with them weekly to teach my own little class. The conversations with the students gave rise to my first two major papers, which gave me a head start toward tenure.
61. What was the author's reaction to the leading expert's words
A. He took his advice. B. He felt discouraged.
C. He paid no attention. D. He consulted another expert.
62. What have neuroscientists found out
A. Rejection really hurts. B. Rejection is important to survival.
C. People tend to overreact to rejection. D. Physical pain grows because of rejection.
63. What does the author advise us to do when facing rejection
A. Find out the reasons behind it. B. Forgive those who reject us.
C. Turn to our stronger identity. D. Learn a lesson from past failures.
64. What happened to the author at last
A. He left graduate school. B. He turned into a middle school teacher.
C. He worked on practicing his physical pliability. D. He accomplished some research work successfully.
65. What is the primary message of this article
A. Rejection is a sign that one should change their career path.
B. Developing resilience and adapting to rejection can lead to personal growth.
C. Rejection serves as a definitive measure of one's research capabilities.
D. Experiencing rejection can lead to a greater focus on individual achievements.
C
Musicians—from karaoke singers to professional violin players—are better able to hear targeted sounds in a noisy environment, according to a piece of new research that adds to evidence that music makes the brain work better.
“In the past ten years there's been an explosion of research on music and the brain,” Aniruddh Patel, the Senior Fellow at the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego, said today at a press briefing.
Most recently brain- imaging studies have shown that music activates many diverse parts of the brain, including an overlap where the brain processes music and language.
“Language is a natural aspect to consider in looking at how music affects the brain”, Patel said, “Like music, language is universal, there's a strong learning component, and it carries complex meanings.”
For example, brains of people exposed to even casual musical training have an enhanced ability to generate the brain wave patterns associated with specific sounds, be they musical or spoken, said study leader Nina Kraus, director of the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern University in Illinois.
Kraus’ previous research had shown that when a person listens to a sound, the brain wave recorded in response is physically the same as the sound wave itself. In fact, “playing” the brain wave produces a nearly identical sound.
But for people without a trained ear for music, the ability to make these patterns decreases as background noise increases, experiments show. Musicians, by contrast, have subconsciously trained their brains to better recognize selective sound patterns, even as background noise goes up.
At the same time, people with certain developmental disorders, such as dyslexia(阅读障碍症), have a harder time hearing sounds amid the noise—a serious problem, for example, for students straining to hear the teacher in a noisy classroom.
Musical experience could therefore be a key therapy for children with dyslexia and similar language- related disorders, Kraus said.
In a similar vein, Harvard Medical School neuroscientist Gottfried Schlaug has found that stroke patients who have lost the ability to speak can be trained to say hundreds of phrases by singing them first.
In his research, Schlaug demonstrated the results of intensive musical therapy on patients with lesions(伤) on the left sides of their brains, those areas most associated with language.
Before the therapy, these stroke patients responded to questions with largely incoherent(语无伦次的, 不连贯的) sounds and phrase. But after just a few minutes with therapists, who asked them to sing phrases and tap their hands to the rhythm, the patients could sing “Happy Birthday,” recite their addresses, and communicate if they were thirsty.
“The underdeveloped systems on the right side of the brain that respond to music became enhanced and changed structures,” Schlaug said.
Overall, Schlaug said, the experiments show that “music might be an alternative medium for engaging parts of the brain that are otherwise not engaged.”
66. According to Patel, the function of language is usually under consideration when ________.
A. people tend to study the relation between music and the brain
B. musicians try to explain the profound meaning behind a piece of music
C. scientists do experiments on the function of different parts of the brain
D. audience participate in the discussion on the complexity of music
67. Why can musicians hear selective sound patterns in a noisy environment
A. Because they have subconsciously trained their ears to get accustomed to those sound patterns.
B. Because their brains have been trained to recognize specific sound patterns in noisy background.
C. Because they can produce the brain wave patterns the same as those sound patterns.
D. Because their trained ears are sensitive to specific sounds no matter where they are.
68. According to Kraus, the significance of the link between music and the brain lies in the fact that ________.
A. language ability can be enhanced by listening to music
B. all kinds of brain disorders can be cured by listening to music
C. music is the sole method to deal with mental diseases
D. music can be effective in treating people with language problems
69. How can stroke patients be treated in Schlaug's findings
A. They should utter a phrase a hundred times a day when starting the recovery training.
B. They should chant phrases instead of saying them at the beginning stage of the training.
C. Doctors should persuade them to sing songs every day to regain their speaking ability.
D. They should practise singing the phrases after- saying them hundreds of times every day.
70. By singing phrases, stroke patients are trying to ________.
A. restore the language function of the damaged system in the left brain
B. hinder the damaged structure in the brain from deteriorating sharply
C. improve the structures of the underdeveloped systems in the right brain
D. practise the parts of the brain which are under constant use
D
Lao Zi once said, “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner. ” People- pleasing, or seeking self- worth through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life. Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves If it is true that you can't please all people all of the time, wouldn't it make sense to stop trying Unfortunately, sense often isn't driving our behavior. For social beings who desire love and belonging, wanting to be liked, and' caring about the effect we have on others, is healthy and allows us to make connections. However, where we get into trouble is when our self- worth is dependent upon whether we win someone's approval or not.
This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and were completely dependent on others to take care of us: Small children are not just learning how to walk and communicate, they are also trying to learn how the world works. We learn about who we are and what is expected of us based on interactions with others, so, to a four- year- old, if Mommy or Daddy doesn't like him or her, there is the danger that they will abandon them. We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it's being driven by that little kid part of us that is still terrified of abandonment.
As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external validation will start to vanish, leaving you stronger, more confident, and yes, happier in your life. Imagine how much time we lose each moment we restrain our authentic selves in an effort to be liked.
If we base our worth on the opinions of others, we cheat ourselves of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves, because ultimately, there is no difference. So embrace the cliche (老话) and love yourself as it's highly doubtful that you'll regret it.
71. What can we conclude from Lao Zi's quotation
A. We should see through other people's attempt to make a prisoner of us.
B. True freedom comes from understanding and managing others' perceptions of us.
C. We can never be truly free if taking to heart others' opinion of us.
D. Freedom is achieved by ignoring all societal expectations.
72. What will happen if we base our self- worth on other people's approval
A. We may become more empathetic and understanding towards others.
B. Our sense of self will be sharpened and enhanced.
C. Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting.
D. We may find a clearer sense of self through feedback from our peers.
73. What may account for our need to be liked or approved of
A. Our desperate longing for interactions with others.
B. Our understanding of the workings of the world.
C. Our knowledge about the pain of abandonment.
D. Our early childhood fear of being deserted.
74. What can we do when we become better able to provide ourselves with the desired approval
A. Enjoy a happier life. B. Receive more external validation.
C. Exercise self- restraint. D. Strengthen our power of imagination.
75. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph
A. Live authentically for ourselves and for the approval of others.
B. View our life experiences as valuable lessons.
C. Rely on others’ opinions to build our self- worth.
D. Cultivate self- love and acceptance without conditions.

When people think of New York City, most of them probably picture the attractive lifestyles of the rich and famous or think of Broadway, Times Square and other tourist attractions. However, there is another side of New York City. The summer after tenth grade, I went with my group on a mission trip to New York City for a week.
I had always known that poverty existed in major cities, but I had never seen it to a degree as high as we did there. We worked at several different locations with our small groups. One day, we served at a soup kitchen and what I saw astounded me. I couldn't believe my eyes. We saw people from all walks of life. We met people who came there because they had no job, no home and no money.
Another day, we volunteered at a homeless shelter. We helped people there do some cleaning and spent time talking to them and listening to their stories. It was incredible to see how grateful they were to us for just spending a couple of hours talking to them.
Every person we met on that trip had a unique story. Whatever their stories were, there was a common thread we saw in them—hope and thanks. These were people who had nothing and yet they were so hopeful about their futures and they were thanking us.
My experience during that summer changed my life. I used to picture my future as containing a big house and a lot of money, but now I see my future as helping others. After. college, I would really like to work for some sort of global aid organization that deals with social issues, such as poverty and homelessness.
