Four Books to Read for Students
Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less — by Greg McKeown
Publication date: 2014
The reality is that we cannot have it all, and we need to commit to our goals. McKeown advocates for the essentialist mindset — focusing on what truly matters and ruling out non-essential tasks, decisions and commitments. By applying a more selective criteria (标准) for what is essential, we are empowered to reclaim control over our own choices and get the right things done.
Surrounded by Idiots — by Thomas Erikson
Publication date: 2014
Erikson introduces the concept that there are four personality types (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow). Reds are powerful, yellows are social, greens are laid back and blues are analytical. Through this theory, Erikson shows the readers how to identify a friend’s or a coworker’s colour and thus adjust how to speak and work with then.
The Productivity Project — by Chris Bailey
Publication date: 2016
After turning down a profitable job offer, Bailey spent a year learning more about how to improve productivity (效率). The year-long experiment includes living alone, giving up coffee and sugar, working 90 hours a week, getting up at 5:30 am every day, and gaining muscle mass so that the readers can learn more about what truly makes them more productive. In order to write the book, he also interviewed some of the world’s well-known experts. The book records these experiences and his interviews in order to offer practical tips and insights backed by research to help the readers achieve more with less effort.
The 5 AM Club — by Robin Sharma
Publication date; 2018
In The 5 AM Club, Sharma presents a fictional story combined with practical advice on personal development, time management and the benefits of waking up at 5:00 am. With humour and light-heartedness, Sharma shows the readers how great business minds start their day, offers advice on how to instantly wake up feeling inspired and focused, and generates a step-by-step method to protect those quiet hours of the morning so that the readers can make the most out of being in the 5 AM club.
21. What is the theme of Surrounded by Idiots
A. Loneliness. B. Duty. C. Relationship. D. Power.

In recent years, there has been a noticeable change in the attitude towards animal welfare here in the Philippines, a movement that I hope will lead to lasting, systemic change.
Among the many inspiring and pioneering animal welfare advocates doing the good work here in the country is Rina Ortiz, founder of Biyaya Animal Care, who has a strong understanding of the popular landscape here in the country.
While other animal welfare programs are dependent only on donor funding or government support, Biyaya Animal Care serves as a model on sustainable animal welfare advocacy — operating a pet clinic and using earnings to support over a thousand pets housed in an animal shelter in Alfonso, Cavite.
This, of course, was made possible because Ortiz understands the challenges caused by limited resources — both from the government and the private sector—in supporting animal welfare, prompting her to find sustainable solutions to support this important cause.
The Biyaya Animal Care model proves the importance of adaptability and resourcefulness. Through a self-sustaining mechanism Biyaya Animal Care shows that animal welfare doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game but rather a cooperation where the private sector can play a more active role in pushing for the cause.
I share Ortiz’s passion for sustainable animal welfare advocacy; which is why I introduced the cause to my own workplace, Meralco, and went a step further by institutionalizing it.
Through Meralco, employees are able to contribute to efforts to address the overpopulation problem of homeless cats with neutering (绝育) programs.. By doing so, it also contributes to improving public health conditions since controlling the growth of the homeless animal population through neutering helps minimize the risk of rabies (狂犬病). Thus that would not only benefit animals but also contribute to the improvement of community life, public health and safety.
24. How does Biyaya Animal Care support animal rescues
A. By asking for government funding.
B. By full reliance on public donations.
C. With the help of other welfare programs.
D. Through operating a pet clinic and using its profits.
25. What does the underlined word “prompting” in paragraph 4 mean:
A. Inspiring. B. Inviting. C. Promising. D. Helping.
26. What is the author’s attitude towards Rina Ortiz’s business model
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. indifferent.
27 What can be inferred about animal welfare in the Philippines
A. People’s concern is decreasing.
B. Positive changes are taking place.
C. Resources are plentiful for related work.
D. The private business plays the leading role.
C
New Curtin University-led research has uncovered what may be the oldest direct. evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars, showing the planet may have been habitable at some point in its past.
The study analyzed a 4.45 billion-year-old zircon (锆石) grain from the famous Martian meteorite (陨石) NWA7034, also known as Black Beauty, and found geochemical “fingerprints” of water-rich liquids. Study co-author Dr Aaron Cavosie from Curtin’s School of Earth and Planetary Sciences said the discovery opened up new approaches for understanding ancient Martian overheated-liquid systems associated with magmatism (岩浆), as well as the planet’s past habitability.
“We used nano-scale (纳米级) geochemistry to detect elemental evidence of hot water on Mars 4.45 billion years ago,” Dr Cavosie said.
“Overheated-liquid systems were essential for the development of life on Earth and our findings suggest Mars also had water, a key factor for habitable environments, during the earliest history of surface formation.”
Through nano-scale imaging, the team identified element patterns in this unique zircon, including iron, aluminum, yttrium and sodium. These elements were added as the zircon formed4.45 billion years ago, suggesting water was present during early Martian magmatic activity. Dr Cavosie said the research showed that even though Mars’ surface suffered massive meteorite strikes that caused major surface change, water was present during the early Pre-Noachian period, prior to about 4.1 billion years ago.
“A 2022 Curtin study of the same zircon grain found it had been ‘shocked’ by a meteorite strike, marking it as the first and only known shocked zircon from Mars,” Dr Cavosie said. “This new study takes us a step further in understanding early Mars, by way of identifying tell-tale signs of water-rich liquids from when the grain formed, providing geochemical markers of water in the oldest known Martian surface.”
28. How does the author mainly present the research findings in the text
A. By comparing Mars with Earth. B. By giving examples and explanations.
C. By quoting the words of the researchers. D. By listing a series of scientific experiments.
29. What did the nano-scale imaging find in the zircon
A. Ancient life forms. B. Hot water’s location.
C. Mars’ formation time. D. Specific element patterns.
30. What can we learn about Mars from the research
A. Its surface has never changed. B. It has always been uninhabitable.
C. It might have been life-friendly early. D. Water only existed on it before 4.45 billion years ago.
31. Where can the text be found
A. In a science magazine. B. In a novel.
C. In a tourist guidebook. D. In a history book.
D
As we age, our cognitive and motor (运动) functions worsen, which in turn affects our independence and overall quality of life. To improve or even remove this condition, research has given rise to many promising technologies.
Among these is non-invasive (无创的) brain stimulation: a term covering a set of techniques that can affect brain functions non-invasively from the outside, without the need for surgery. One such promising technique, in particular, is anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (atDCS).
Now, scientists have identified an important factor affecting an individual’s responsiveness to atDCS. The team looked at how native learning abilities determine the effect of brain stimulation applied while learning a motor task. Their findings suggest that individuals with less efficient learning mechanisms benefit more from stimulation, while those with optimal (最优的) learning strategies might experience negative effects.
The researchers employed 40 participants: 20 middle-aged adults (50 — 65 years old) and 20 older adults (over 65). Each group was further divided into those receiving active atDCS and those receiving placebo (安慰剂) stimulation. Over ten days, participants practiced a finger-tapping task designed to study motor list learning at home while receiving atDCS. The task involved copying a numerical list using a keyboard, trying to be as fast and as accurate as possible. The team then used a machine-learning model to classify participants as either “optimal” or “sub-optimal” learners, based on their first performance.
The study found that sub-optimal learners, who were seemingly less efficient at completing the task at the early stages of learning, experienced a quick accuracy improvement while performing the task when receiving atDCS. This effect was not limited to people of a certain age, with sub-optimal learners being found among younger individuals as well.
In contrast, participants with optimal learning strategies, regardless of age, even showed a negative tendency in performance when receiving atDCS. This difference suggests that brain stimulation is more beneficial for individuals who firstly struggle with motor tasks. As such, atDCS seems to possess a restorative rather than a strengthening quality, with important significance for recovery.
32. What is atDCS
A. A technique only for older adults.
B. A way to transfer something into the brain.
C. A non-invasive brain stimulation technique.
D. A surgical method to improve cognitive functions.
33. What can we conclude from the study about atDCS
A. It is only useful for older adults in improving motor tasks.
B. It has different effects on people with different learning strategies.
C. It has no significant effects on the performance of any participants
D. It has a positive effect on the participants who are good at logical thinking.
34. What’s the main idea of paragraph 4
A. The result of the experiment on different age groups.
B. The way to classify participants as different learners.
C. The importance of the finger-tapping task in the study.
D. The introduction of the participants and the experimental process.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Influence of Learning Abilities on the Effect of atDCS
B. The Importance of Motor Tasks in Cognitive Improvement
C. The Development of Non-invasive Brain Stimulation Technologies
D. A Comparative Study of Motor Task Completion in Different Age Groups

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was Labor Day weekend, the last weekend in a summer full of outdoor adventures with my grandson. Twelve-year-old Noah and I headed up north to go whitewater rafting (漂流). It was my idea. I’d gone rafting dozens of times.
We arrived at the meet-up spot near Pembine, Wisconsin. Our guide, Derek, fit us with life jackets and helmets (头盔). Along with the other six rafters, two women and four men, we boarded the bus with our driver, who took us to the starting spot on the Menominee River.
The first section of the trip was flat water, and Derek used the time to review the safety instructions and practice paddling (划水) together. We all listened carefully, including Noah.
The next section was Class 2 rapids, which means “some rough water and rocks”. Only a basic skill level was required. We got wet. Everyone was laughing.
The last section was Class 4 rapids, which are waves, rocks, sharp bends and a considerable drop. “Exceptional” skill level was required.
Off we went. Derek was calling out paddling instructions. However, the people paddling on the left were paddling way harder than the people on the right, so we crashed straight into a giant rock face. The force caused me out of the raft.
My helmet dropped, and I was trapped under the raft. I was really, really scared. After a frightening amount of time, the raft and I separated. But now I was going down the “considerable drop” all by myself. Whitewater crashed over my face. I thought I was going to die.
Noah was screaming, “Grandma! Grandma! Grandma!” Derek was shouting at me, “Nose up, feet up!” He shouted at the rafters to paddle hard.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；

【答案】
They finally got close to me. Derek reached over and grabbed the shoulders of my life jacket. “One, two, three,” he said and hauled me into the back of the raft. We got through the rest of the rapids and glided to the riverbank. No one was laughing. “Grandma, are you okay ” asked the wide-eyed Noah. My heart was pounding out of my chest, and my hands were shaking, but I did my best to keep my composure.
We were back at the meet-up spot. They called the doctor to make sure I was okay. The doctor examined me and confirmed that I was all right. Then everyone laughed again. I gave each of them a big hug to express my thanks for their efforts to save my life. Noah told me that rafting was the most fun activity he had enjoyed all summer. I was so grateful that our memory of this trip would be a really fun thing instead of something horrible.
