Developing Children’s Persistence (毅力)
One of the most important lessons a child can learn is not to give up when faced with a challenging situation, but instead to continue and overcome it.
Invention education
As the importance of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects continues to grow due to the world’s increasing complexity (复杂性), invention education has become a popular way for children to explore these fields in pleasant ways.
At Camp Invention, there are no “right” or “wrong” ways to complete each day’s set of challenges and activities. Those who take part in it are able to seek solutions that naturally interest them. For example, campers learn how to change their cars to travel across the land, and create basic theory that could help them move through the air and even underwater by using the same method shared by some of the world’s most well-known inventors!
The Innovation (创新) Mindset
Working with our national innovators whose discoveries continue to improve the lives of people everywhere, we have recognized nine basic skills that can benefit children throughout their lives. We call this the Innovation Mindset, and it influences the development of all our education programmes.
Persistence is a very important part of the Innovation Mindset because it teaches children to recover from setbacks and overcome difficulties to reach their goals. Because our programmes develop determination through a “create, test and retest” way of learning, students build the strength and confidence to take on any challenges that stand in their way.
Explore more trends in STEM

21. How does Camp Invention develop persistence
A. By inviting famous inventors.
B. By providing interesting solutions.
C. By encouraging campers to take STEM subjects.
D. By allowing campers to solve problems in creative ways.
22. What can children learn in the Innovation Mindset
A. To recognize basic life skills. B. To face challenges bravely.
C. To build up their body strength. D. To develop education programmes.
23. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A website. B. A camp poster.
C. A science report. D. A course introduction.

My two daughters and I got into the car to spend our weekend in Florida. Autumn, the elder one, offered to drive. I sat next to her, and Amber sat in back. After setting out, the three of us sang to the radio at the top of our voice.
It was a great trip until the rain poured and the rain was too heavy. “I have to pull over.” Autumn said. She tried to enter the far right lane (车道) to find a place to stop, but trucks ran fast, making water onto our car. The car was out of control, then worse — it started to move left and right. Autumn fought to control it but it was too late. We ran into a truck. The girls jumped out of the car. My chest felt much pain.
“Get out, e on!” Amber cried. “I can’t.” I said. Autumn took out her cellphone. “There’s been an accident. Send an ambulance (救护车)!” Amber and Autumn pulled me out of the car and helped me lie on my back in the grassy area by the roadside. I had to calm myself and looked up. A man held a large umbrella over me and other kind faces appeared above me. A woman helped to treat a cut over Amber’s eye. Another woman came close to me and said, “No one in the truck was injured. Help was on the way.” The woman mentioned she was a nurse; the other woman who took care of Amber’s cut was an eye specialist. We couldn’t have asked for better care.
In the hospital the pain in my chest began to disappear. Later, the tests at the hospital made sure we had no serious injuries. We’d left all our troubles behind thanks to these kind people, who seemed to be angels (天使) in my eyes.
24. How did the author and her two daughters feel after setting out
A. They were worried about the weather. B. They enjoyed themselves greatly.
C. They thought it was a long journey. D. They felt lucky to take the journey.
25. What’s Autumn going to do when the rain poured
A. To stop by the roadside. B. To follow the truck closely,
C. To get into the fast traffic lane. D. To move the car left and right.
26. Which is TRUE according to the accident
A. The author herself drove the car. B. It was raining heavily.
C. A nurse held a large umbrella to help. D. The truck driver was badly injured.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. Unexpected heavy rain B. Leave our troubles behind
C. Kind angels saved the day D. My two kind daughters
C
When we talk more broadly of body language, rather than good postures, we can actually see the effects it has on relationships right throughout the animal kingdom. In particular, body language is used to express power through expansive (扩张的) postures.
You might know about Amy Cuddy’s famous Ted Talk and her incredible insights on how posture changes our thoughts. Cuddy and her team study body language, particularly what they call “high-power” and “low-power” poses.
“High-power” poses refer to the act of taking a posture of confidence, which can help you feel more self-confident, even after only two minutes. Typical high-power poses are about opening up. You stretch and expand your body to take up as much space as possible. For example, bosses are doing high-power poses when they lean back in their chairs, put their hands behind their heads, and kick their feet up onto their desks. Meanwhile, people take low-power positions when they’re feeling helpless or defeated. They close up, arms around themselves, taking up the smallest space.
Some even more recent studies took this even further: A study by researchers from Columbia and Harvard Universities showed that body language symbolizing power can actually affect our decision-making, unintentionally. The researchers measured the desire for risk of participants in either expansive, powerful poses or constricted (收缩的) poses. Those in the powerful poses not only felt more powerful and in control, but were 45% more likely to take risky actions.
“This isn’t about what your body language is communicating to others; it’s about what your body language is communicating to you. Your body language is changing your mind, which changes your behavior, which changes your outcomes,” said Cuddy.
So if you want to take advantage of the benefits of these poses to live a healthier and happier life, where should you start
28. Which is probably a low-power pose according to the text
A. Sitting with hands crossed in the lap.
B. Arms raised in a “V” above the head.
C. Standing with your legs open.
D. Sitting with your arms spreading out on the chair.
29. What can we say about people in the expansive poses
A. They are hesitant. B. They are very shy.
C. They feel out of control. D. They feel more confident.
30. What is the text mainly about
A. The posture of confidence. B. Cuddy’s research on behavior.
C. The surprising power of body language. D. The research about decision-making.
31. What might be talked about in the following paragraph
A. How to correct bad habits. B. How to improve your body language.
C. How posture affects your health. D. Why good posture matters for employees.
D
Growing up in the South Central neighborhood of Los Angeles in the 1970s, Ghuan Featherstone only remembers riding a horse with his parents at a nearby park when he was eight years old.
But ever since, he’s been chasing that sense of freedom and power he felt on the horse that day. “I felt like I could conquer anything,” Featherstone, now 51, said in a Story Corps interview last month with Jordan Humphreys, a 13-year-old horseback rider. After serving in the Army for eight years, Featherstone remained determined to realize his childhood dream of becoming a cowboy.
When he returned to Los Angeles, he learned to ride at stables known as “The Hill” in Compton. Riders there would jump on their horse backs and take their horses into the city streets. In 2012, a fire burned down The Hill. What had become a shelter for the youth was suddenly gone. Sensing the void (空缺) after the fire, Featherstone opened his own stables, Urban Saddles, in 2019 to create a space where he could teach kids like Humphreys to care for and ride horses.
As a black man, Featherstone is against prejudice. People of color are often prevented from pop culture and historical representations of the cowboy. His stable has helped keep the cowboy lifestyle alive in the streets. “Riding through the streets on horseback has given me a way to connect with others in the community,” said Humphreys. “It makes them happy seeing us on a horse and then they may be smiling, and I believe that when we come through, we give them a sense of hope,” he added.
If there’s one lesson Featherstone hopes to convey to kids, it’s a respect for all life. “We’re respecting the animals and we’re respecting each other,” he said.
32. What made Featherstone want to become a cowboy
A. His love to his parents. B. The duty of saving the world.
C. The serving years in the army. D. His childhood riding experience.
33. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3
A. The life of being a cowboy.
B. The dream of being a cowboy.
C. The course of opening Urban Saddles.
D. The place of teaching kids like Humphreys.
34. Which can be one of the purposes of Fetherstone’s opening his own stables
A. To teach the black kids to ride horses.
B. To help the kids to learn to respect all life.
C. To make money by teaching the kids to ride.
D. To train the cowboys to become more hopeful.
35. Which of the following words may best describe Fetherstone
A. Smart but careless. B. Slow but productive.
C. Diligent and broad-minded. D. Determined and kind-hearted.

Developing Children’s Persistence (毅力)
One of the most important lessons a child can learn is not to give up when faced with a challenging situation, but instead to continue and overcome it.
Invention education
As the importance of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects continues to grow due to the world’s increasing complexity (复杂性), invention education has become a popular way for children to explore these fields in pleasant ways.
At Camp Invention, there are no “right” or “wrong” ways to complete each day’s set of challenges and activities. Those who take part in it are able to seek solutions that naturally interest them. For example, campers learn how to change their cars to travel across the land, and create basic theory that could help them move through the air and even underwater by using the same method shared by some of the world’s most well-known inventors!
The Innovation (创新) Mindset
Working with our national innovators whose discoveries continue to improve the lives of people everywhere, we have recognized nine basic skills that can benefit children throughout their lives. We call this the Innovation Mindset, and it influences the development of all our education programmes.
Persistence is a very important part of the Innovation Mindset because it teaches children to recover from setbacks and overcome difficulties to reach their goals. Because our programmes develop determination through a “create, test and retest” way of learning, students build the strength and confidence to take on any challenges that stand in their way.

D. By allowing campers to solve problems in creative ways.
22. What can children learn in the Innovation Mindset
A. To recognize basic life skills. B. To face challenges bravely.
C. To build up their body strength. D. To develop education programmes.
23. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A website. B. A camp poster.
C. A science report. D. A course introduction.
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. A

My two daughters and I got into the car to spend our weekend in Florida. Autumn, the elder one, offered to drive. I sat next to her, and Amber sat in back. After setting out, the three of us sang to the radio at the top of our voice.
It was a great trip until the rain poured and the rain was too heavy. “I have to pull over.” Autumn said. She tried to enter the far right lane (车道) to find a place to stop, but trucks ran fast, making water onto our car. The car was out of control, then worse — it started to move left and right. Autumn fought to control it but it was too late. We ran into a truck. The girls jumped out of the car. My chest felt much pain.
“Get out, e on!” Amber cried. “I can’t.” I said. Autumn took out her cellphone. “There’s been an accident. Send an ambulance (救护车)!” Amber and Autumn pulled me out of the car and helped me lie on my back in the grassy area by the roadside. I had to calm myself and looked up. A man held a large umbrella over me and other kind faces appeared above me. A woman helped to treat a cut over Amber’s eye. Another woman came close to me and said, “No one in the truck was injured. Help was on the way.” The woman mentioned she was a nurse; the other woman who took care of Amber’s cut was an eye specialist. We couldn’t have asked for better care.
In the hospital the pain in my chest began to disappear. Later, the tests at the hospital made sure we had no serious injuries. We’d left all our troubles behind thanks to these kind people, who seemed to be angels (天使) in my eyes.
24. How did the author and her two daughters feel after setting out
A. They were worried about the weather. B. They enjoyed themselves greatly.
C. They thought it was a long journey. D. They felt lucky to take the journey.

When we talk more broadly of body language, rather than good postures, we can actually see the effects it has on relationships right throughout the animal kingdom. In particular, body language is used to express power through expansive (扩张的) postures.
You might know about Amy Cuddy’s famous Ted Talk and her incredible insights on how posture changes our thoughts. Cuddy and her team study body language, particularly what they call “high-power” and “low-power” poses.
“High-power” poses refer to the act of taking a posture of confidence, which can help you feel more self-confident, even after only two minutes. Typical high-power poses are about opening up. You stretch and expand your body to take up as much space as possible. For example, bosses are doing high-power poses when they lean back in their chairs, put their hands behind their heads, and kick their feet up onto their desks. Meanwhile, people take low-power positions when they’re feeling helpless or defeated. They close up, arms around themselves, taking up the smallest space.
Some even more recent studies took this even further: A study by researchers from Columbia and Harvard Universities showed that body language symbolizing power can actually affect our decision-making, unintentionally. The researchers measured the desire for risk of participants in either expansive, powerful poses or constricted (收缩的) poses. Those in the powerful poses not only felt more powerful and in control, but were 45% more likely to take risky actions.
“This isn’t about what your body language is communicating to others; it’s about what your body language is communicating to you. Your body language is changing your mind, which changes your behavior, which changes your outcomes,” said Cuddy.
So if you want to take advantage of the benefits of these poses to live a healthier and happier life, where should you start
28. Which is probably a low-power pose according to the text
A. Sitting with hands crossed in the lap.
B. Arms raised in a “V” above the head.
C. Standing with your legs open.
D. Sitting with your arms spreading out on the chair.
29. What can we say about people in the expansive poses
A. They are hesitant. B. They are very shy.
C. They feel out of control. D. They feel more confident.
30. What is the text mainly about
A. The posture of confidence. B. Cuddy’s research on behavior.
C. The surprising power of body language. D. The research about decision-making.
31. What might be talked about in the following paragraph
A. How to correct bad habits. B. How to improve your body language.
C. How posture affects your health. D. Why good posture matters for employees.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了身体语言对动物以及人际关系的影响，特别是通过扩张性姿势来表达权力。作者介绍了研究发现，高权力姿势能够提高个人自信心，进而影响个人决策。文章最后给出了建议，提醒人们从改变自己的身体语言开始，改变自己的思考和行为，从而实现更好的生活。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Meanwhile, people take low-power positions when they’re feeling helpless or defeated. They close up, arms around themselves, taking up the smallest space.(与此同时，当人们感到无助或被打败时，他们会采取低权力姿势。他们紧闭身体，双臂紧贴身体，占据最小的空间)”可推断，手交叉放在腿上坐着，缩小自己占用的空间，属于“低权利”姿势。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““High-power” poses refer to the act of taking a posture of confidence, which can help you feel more self-confident, even after only two minutes. (“强势”姿势指的是摆出一种自信的姿势，这种姿势即使在两分钟后也能让你感觉更自信)”及第四段“The researchers measured the desire for risk of participants in either expansive, powerful poses or constricted (收缩的) poses. Those in the powerful poses not only felt more powerful and in control, but were 45% more likely to take risky actions.(研究人员测量了参与者在舒展的、有力的姿势和收缩的姿势中对风险的渴望。那些摆出强势姿势的人不仅感觉自己更强大、更有控制力，而且采取冒险行动的可能性也高出45%)”可知，那些摆着扩张式的姿势的人通常会感觉更加自信。故选D。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In particular, body language is used to express power through expansive (扩张的) postures.(特别是，肢体语言被用来通过扩张的姿势来表达权力)”以及通读全文可知，文章讲述了身体语言对动物以及人际关系的影响，特别是通过扩张性姿势来表达权力即神奇的具有能量的肢体语言。由此可知，C选项“The surprising power of body language.( 肢体语言的惊人力量)”概括文章主要内容。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So if you want to take advantage of the benefits of these poses to live a healthier and happier life, where should you start (所以，如果你想利用这些姿势的好处，过上更健康、更快乐的生活，你应该从哪里开始呢？)”可知，此处强调如果想通过利用这些姿势的好处，想要过上更健康、更快乐的生活，要从哪儿里开始。由此推知，接下来文章可能会讨论应该从哪些方面入手如何改善肢体语言。故选B。
D
Growing up in the South Central neighborhood of Los Angeles in the 1970s, Ghuan Featherstone only remembers riding a horse with his parents at a nearby park when he was eight years old.
But ever since, he’s been chasing that sense of freedom and power he felt on the horse that day. “I felt like I could conquer anything,” Featherstone, now 51, said in a Story Corps interview last month with Jordan Humphreys, a 13-year-old horseback rider. After serving in the Army for eight years, Featherstone remained determined to realize his childhood dream of becoming a cowboy.
When he returned to Los Angeles, he learned to ride at stables known as “The Hill” in Compton. Riders there would jump on their horse backs and take their horses into the city streets. In 2012, a fire burned down The Hill. What had become a shelter for the youth was suddenly gone. Sensing the void (空缺) after the fire, Featherstone opened his own stables, Urban Saddles, in 2019 to create a space where he could teach kids like Humphreys to care for and ride horses.
As a black man, Featherstone is against prejudice. People of color are often prevented from pop culture and historical representations of the cowboy. His stable has helped keep the cowboy lifestyle alive in the streets. “Riding through the streets on horseback has given me a way to connect with others in the community,” said Humphreys. “It makes them happy seeing us on a horse and then they may be smiling, and I believe that when we come through, we give them a sense of hope,” he added.
If there’s one lesson Featherstone hopes to convey to kids, it’s a respect for all life. “We’re respecting the animals and we’re respecting each other,” he said.
32. What made Featherstone want to become a cowboy
A. His love to his parents. B. The duty of saving the world.
C. The serving years in the army. D. His childhood riding experience.
33. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3
A. The life of being a cowboy.
B. The dream of being a cowboy.
C. The course of opening Urban Saddles.
D. The place of teaching kids like Humphreys.
34. Which can be one of the purposes of Fetherstone’s opening his own stables
A. To teach the black kids to ride horses.
B. To help the kids to learn to respect all life.
C. To make money by teaching the kids to ride.
D. To train the cowboys to become more hopeful.
35. Which of the following words may best describe Fetherstone
A. Smart but careless. B. Slow but productive.
C. Diligent and broad-minded. D. Determined and kind-hearted.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了费瑟斯通(Ghuan Featherstone)开马厩的过程，并且通过骑马想要传达给孩子们的一课，那就是尊重所有的生命。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Growing up in the South Central neighborhood of Los Angeles in the 1970s, Ghuan Featherstone only remembers riding a horse with his parents at a nearby park when he was eight years old.(费瑟斯通(Ghuan Featherstone)上世纪70年代在洛杉矶中南部社区长大，他只记得8岁时和父母一起在附近的公园骑马)”以及文章第二段“But ever since, he’s been chasing that sense of freedom and power he felt on the horse that day.(但从那以后，他一直在追寻那天骑马时感受到的自由和力量)”以及“After serving in the Army for eight years, Featherstone remained determined to realize his childhood dream of becoming a cowboy.(在军队服役8年后，费瑟斯通决心实现他儿时的梦想——成为一名牛仔)”可知，童年的骑马经历让费瑟斯通想成为一名牛仔。故选D。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“When he returned to Los Angeles, he learned to ride at stables known as “The Hill” in Compton. Riders there would jump on their horse backs and take their horses into the city streets. In 2012, a fire burned down The Hill. What had become a shelter for the youth was suddenly gone. Sensing the void (空缺) after the fire, Featherstone opened his own stables, Urban Saddles, in 2019 to create a space where he could teach kids like Humphreys to care for and ride horses. (回到洛杉矶后，他在康普顿被称为“山”的马厩里学会了骑马。那里的骑手会跳上马背，骑着马进入城市的街道。2012年，一场大火烧毁了“山”。曾经是年轻人庇护所的地方突然消失了。费瑟斯通感觉到了火灾后的空虚，在2019年开设了自己的马厩“城市马鞍”，创造了一个空间，在这里他可以教像汉弗莱斯这样的孩子照顾和骑马)”可知，第三段主要讲述了Urban Saddles开设的过程。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If there’s one lesson Featherstone hopes to convey to kids, it’s a respect for all life. “We’re respecting the animals and we’re respecting each other,” he said.(如果费瑟斯通想要传达给孩子们的一课，那就是尊重所有的生命。“我们尊重动物，也尊重彼此，”他说)”可推知，费瑟斯通开马厩的真正目的是帮助孩子们学会尊重所有生命。故选B。

【答案】36. G 37. F 38. B 39. C 40. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。主要讲述了成功的要素。
【36题详解】
根据第二段提到的“The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, you must be optimistic(乐观的）.(你必须记住的第一件事是，为了成功，你必须乐观)”和第四段提到的“Another quality that helps people succeed is creativity(有创造力）(帮助人们成功的另一个品质是创造力)”可知，下文说到了成功需要乐观和有创造力，论述了成功所需要的品质，即如何成功，结合上文“Some people succeed, while others may not.( 有些人成功了，而另一些人可能不成功。)”可推断承接上文提到的success,此处引出下文的成功的要素，G项中的“this”指代上文的“some people succeed”，且G项中的“some…,others…”结构与上文一致，“qualities”引出下文对成功品质的解释。故选G。
【37题详解】
下文“If you do not have an aim, then you will not be motivated to work hard and put your performance under the microscope to make sure that every detail is right.( 如果你没有目标，那么你就不会有动力去努力工作，不能把你的表现放在显微镜下，以确保每一个细节都是正确的)”说明你需要有一个目标，然后就会被激励去付诸努力。F项中的“motivation”与下文的“motivate”一致，说明你也需要有一个清晰的目标，因为动力是成功的关键要素之一。故选F。
【38题详解】
下文“They might be successful with a little creativity, but the most successful people are the most creative ones.( 他们可能会有一点创造力，但最成功的人是最有创造力的人。)”可知，后一句的they肯定是指代前文出现过的人，并且后面说的是最成功的人是最有创造力的。B项中的“some successful people”相符，想想你身边的成功人士，然后引出下文。故选B。
【39题详解】
下文“It will help you learn about how other people have achieved success. If you want to learn how to set up a successful business, you should read books about people like Bill Gates and Jerry Yang.( 它将帮助你了解其他人是如何取得成功的。如果你想学习如何建立一个成功的企业，你应该读一些关于比尔盖茨和杰瑞杨这样的人的书。)”说明你应该读书，说明阅读也是成功的另一要素。故选C。
【40题详解】
上文“Practise every day at whatever career you are in, and by doing so, you will see yourself, your business and your self-confidence begin to grow.( 无论你从事什么职业，每天都要练习，这样你就会看到你自己、你的事业和你的自信开始增长。)”说明无论你从事什么工作都要自信，A项中“trust yourself”和“confidently”与上文的“self-confidence”一致。因此推断选A项“如果你相信自己，并且自信地做自己想做的事，你的同事将会很愉快地与你工作。”符合语境。故选A。
