“While extroverts（性格外向者）often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities in interviews, their value and reputation at work diminish（缩减）over time,” says Corinne Bendersky, an associate professor of Management.
“Extroverts disappoint us over time when they are part of a team,” Bendersky says. “On a team you’re expected to work hard and contribute a lot. But they are often poor listeners, and they don’t collaborate.”
“On the other hand, introverts（性格内向者）work hard on a team because they care what others think of them. They don’t want to be seen as not pulling their weight or contributing 100%,” Bendersky says.
So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts because they impress managers greatly in job interviews, bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert they are considering will be a valuable team player, Bendersky says.
Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone else’s shoes.
“These team members are often easy-going, which can make them exceptional mentors to more junior staff or particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in one-on-one situations,” Su says.
“Managers must try to help introverts find their voice,” Wilkins says. “Help them see that speaking up is not about self-promotion or being in conflict but rather about offering the team key insights, making better decisions or increasing the efficiency for all.”
What about those extroverts who never seem to be at a loss for words Should managers cut them off Managers definitely should weigh in on how an extrovert is affecting others. Wilkins suggests saying something in private to make adjustments.
4. What do we know about outgoing people according to Bendersky
A. They are good listeners.
B. They are good at cooperating.
C. They often make great contributions.
D. They tend to perform well in interviews.
5. Which can best replace the underlined part “pulling their weight” in Paragraph 3
A. Making the team lag.
B. Making good choices.
C. Doing their full share of work.
D. Trying to share their thoughts.
6. What is Su’s attitude towards Bendersky’s words
A. Critical. B. Tolerant.
C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
7. What does Wilkins advise managers to do
A. Promote more introverts.
B. Learn to work more efficiently.
C. Encourage introverts to speak up.
D. Avoid conflict among employees.

Our dog Sandy is a golden retriever（猎犬）. He sits in front of our house all day waiting for someone to come by and throw him a stick. Chasing sticks or tennis balls and bringing them back is the major activity in his life.
Once we performed an experiment to see how Sandy found these sticks and balls quickly.
There was one particular pile that must have had hundreds of sticks. We picked up one stick, walked away from the pile and then threw it back into the pile. It was impossible for us to tell with any certainty which stick we had originally chosen. So many of them looked alike to us that the best we could do was pick out seven sticks which resembled the one that had been thrown.
We tried the same thing with Sandy, only before throwing the stick we carved an X on it.
Then we threw it, not once but a dozen times into the pile. He circled the pile over and over.
Each time he brought back that stick. It wasn’ t the shape or the size or look of the stick that he used to pick it out from all the others. It was the smell we left on the stick. It is hard to imagine, but for dogs every living creature has its own distinctive smell.
The environment is the world that all living things share. It is what is — air, fire, wind, water, life, sometimes culture. Living creatures are born into the environment and are part of it too. For a dog like Sandy a book isn’ t much different than a stick, whereas for us one stick is pretty much like every other stick. There is no one world experienced by all living creatures. Though we all live in the same environment, we make many worlds.
8. What does Sandy love to do in daily life
A. Keep the house. B. Frighten away passers by.
C. Hunt for food. D. Run to catch sticks or balls.
9. How did Sandy pick out the marked stick quickly
A. By its size. B. By its shape.
C. By its smell. D. By its look.
10. What does the underlined word“ distinctive” probably mean
A. Typical. B. Weak.
C Terrible. D. Nice.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Sandy — A Brave Retriever
B. One Environment, Many Worlds
C. The Environment Made by Animals
D. The Stick — A Perfect Toy for Dogs

Do you consider redecorating your preschoolers room What about a new paint job Before you start painting the wall red, you might want to take a look at some research about the psychology of color from the Paint Quality Institute.
According to Debbie Zimmer, color expert at the Paint Quality Institute, “Color psychology can help you choose paint colors that create the right mood in a room affecting not just your own feelings, but those of everyone who enters the space.” Blue, which often ranks at the top of surveys exploring “favorite” colors, has been shown to slow pulse rate and lower body temperature. So blue is a terrific color choice for bedrooms, but less so for dining rooms, according to Zimmer.
Green, also one of the most popular colors, is a little more versatile (通用的). Zimmer says, “Because it’s calming, green paint is a good color choice for bedrooms, and since it’s the color of many appetizing (开胃的) fruits and vegetables, it can work in dining rooms, too.”
Zimmer says, “Red represents energy and excitement and is associated with desire and passion, so it’s a perfect paint color for dining rooms and adult bedrooms, but wrong for children’s rooms.” “However, pink is one of the most calming colors and is a fine choice for a baby’s room.” she says.
Orange is a happy color too and it has energy and warmth about it. However, it’s clearly not the color of calm, so it’s best not to use it when painting a place where you want to relax, according to Zimmer.
Anyway, the bottom line is to choose what makes you and your little one happy. “No one will spend more time in your home than you will,” says Zimmer, “so it’s important to paint with those colors that are personal favorites. Choose colors you love and you wont go wrong!”
12. Which room is a place that is painted properly according to color psychology
A. An orange kid’s room. B. A green dining room.
C. A blue kitchen. D. A red kid’s bedroom.
13. What does the underlined word “terrific” in Para. 3 mean
A. Beautiful B. Terrible C. Special D. Wonderful
14. What color should be avoided when a bedroom is painted
A. Orange. B. Blue. C. Green. D. Pink.
15. According to Zimmer, what should we consider first when we choose paint colors
A. Our personalities. B. Our preference. C. Our purposes. D. Our daily habits.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了外向型员工和内向型员工拥有的特质，外向型员工虽在面试中容易留下好印象，但内向型员工更具有团队精神和奉献精神。并鼓励内向的员工人说出自己的想法，并对外向型员工私下进行调整。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的While extroverts（性格外向者）often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities in interviews（外向的人在面试中往往以他们外向的举止和活泼的个性给人留下良好的第一印象）由此判断出，根据Bendersky的观点，外向的人倾向于面试中表现良好。故选D。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段的On the other hand, introverts（性格内向者）work hard on a team because they care what others think of them. They don’t want to be seen as not pulling their weight or contributing 100%（内向的人在团队中努力工作是因为他们在乎别人对他们的看法。他们不想被认为没有pulling their weight 或没有百分之百的贡献）可知，划线所在的句子和前句是顺承关系，前句提到内向的人在乎别人的看法，不想被认为自己没有尽本分，由此可知，pulling their weight意为“做好自己的分内工作”，故C项（做好自己的分内工作）是替代第3段的划线部分最好的选项。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees（Amy Jen Su和Muriel Maignan Wilkins两位作家都同意这一观点，并表示管理者应该认识到内向员工的优点）由此判断出，Su对Bendersky的话持赞同的态度。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的Managers must try to help introverts find their voice（管理者必须努力帮助内向的人找到自己的声音）可知，Wilkins鼓励内向的人说出自己的想法。故选C。
C
Our dog Sandy is a golden retriever（猎犬）. He sits in front of our house all day waiting for someone to come by and throw him a stick. Chasing sticks or tennis balls and bringing them back is the major activity in his life.
Once we performed an experiment to see how Sandy found these sticks and balls quickly.
There was one particular pile that must have had hundreds of sticks. We picked up one stick, walked away from the pile and then threw it back into the pile. It was impossible for us to tell with any certainty which stick we had originally chosen. So many of them looked alike to us that the best we could do was pick out seven sticks which resembled the one that had been thrown.
We tried the same thing with Sandy, only before throwing the stick we carved an X on it.
Then we threw it, not once but a dozen times into the pile. He circled the pile over and over.
Each time he brought back that stick. It wasn’ t the shape or the size or look of the stick that he used to pick it out from all the others. It was the smell we left on the stick. It is hard to imagine, but for dogs every living creature has its own distinctive smell.
The environment is the world that all living things share. It is what is — air, fire, wind, water, life, sometimes culture. Living creatures are born into the environment and are part of it too. For a dog like Sandy a book isn’ t much different than a stick, whereas for us one stick is pretty much like every other stick. There is no one world experienced by all living creatures. Though we all live in the same environment, we make many worlds.
8. What does Sandy love to do in daily life
A. Keep the house. B. Frighten away passers by.
C. Hunt for food. D. Run to catch sticks or balls.
9. How did Sandy pick out the marked stick quickly
A. By its size. B. By its shape.
C. By its smell. D. By its look.

C. Terrible. D. Nice.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Sandy — A Brave Retriever
B. One Environment, Many Worlds
C. The Environment Made by Animals
D. The Stick — A Perfect Toy for Dogs
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者通过一个实验证明Sandy的嗅觉非常灵敏，由此说明这个世界是所有生物共享的世界，每种生物对世界都有不同的感知。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段Chasing sticks or tennis balls and bringing them back is the major activity in his life.可知，追逐木棍和网球，再把它们带回来是Sandy生活中主要的活动。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由第六段It wasn’ t the shape or the size or look of the stick that he used to pick it out from all the others. It was the smell we left on the stick.可知，不是木棍的形状和样子，而是我们留在木棍上的气味让Sandy从其他的木棍中挑出我们刻了字母X的木棍。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。由倒数第二段It wasn’ t the shape or the size or look of the stick that he used to pick it out from all the others. It was the smell we left on the stick. It is hard to imagine, but for dogs every living creature has its own distinctive smell.可知，Sandy根据我们留在木棍上的气味辨别出和其他木棍的区别。可见对于狗来说，每种生物的气味是不同的，所以distinctive应该是特别的，与众不同的意思，结合选项，故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章最后一段The environment is the world that all living things share. There is no one world experienced by all living creatures. Though we all live in the same environment, we make many worlds.可知，这个世界是所有生物共享的，没有一个世界是被所有生物感知过的，虽然生活在一个环境里，但每种生物感知到的却是不同的世界。结合选项，只有选项B最能体现文章的中心意思，故选B项。

According to Debbie Zimmer, color expert at the Paint Quality Institute, “Color psychology can help you choose paint colors that create the right mood in a room affecting not just your own feelings, but those of everyone who enters the space.” Blue, which often ranks at the top of surveys exploring “favorite” colors, has been shown to slow pulse rate and lower body temperature. So blue is a terrific color choice for bedrooms, but less so for dining rooms, according to Zimmer.
Green, also one of the most popular colors, is a little more versatile (通用的). Zimmer says, “Because it’s calming, green paint is a good color choice for bedrooms, and since it’s the color of many appetizing (开胃的) fruits and vegetables, it can work in dining rooms, too.”
Zimmer says, “Red represents energy and excitement and is associated with desire and passion, so it’s a perfect paint color for dining rooms and adult bedrooms, but wrong for children’s rooms.” “However, pink is one of the most calming colors and is a fine choice for a baby’s room.” she says.
Orange is a happy color too and it has energy and warmth about it. However, it’s clearly not the color of calm, so it’s best not to use it when painting a place where you want to relax, according to Zimmer.
Anyway, the bottom line is to choose what makes you and your little one happy. “No one will spend more time in your home than you will,” says Zimmer, “so it’s important to paint with those colors that are personal favorites. Choose colors you love and you wont go wrong!”
12. Which room is a place that is painted properly according to color psychology
A. An orange kid’s room. B. A green dining room.
C. A blue kitchen. D. A red kid’s bedroom.
13. What does the underlined word “terrific” in Para. 3 mean
A. Beautiful B. Terrible C. Special D. Wonderful
14. What color should be avoided when a bedroom is painted
A Orange. B. Blue. C. Green. D. Pink.
15. According to Zimmer, what should we consider first when we choose paint colors
A. Our personalities. B. Our preference. C. Our purposes. D. Our daily habits.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要内容是根据色彩心理学，不同颜色在生活中的应用能得到不同的效果。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的Because it’s calming, green paint…since it’s the color of many appetizing (开胃的) fruits and vegetables, it can work in dining rooms, too.可知绿色油漆是许多开胃水果和蔬菜的颜色，它也适用于餐厅。根据色彩心理学，一个餐厅被粉刷成绿色是合适的。故选B。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段的Blue, which often ranks at the top of surveys exploring “favorite” colors, has been shown to slow pulse rate and lower body temperature. So blue is a terrific color choice for bedrooms在调查“最喜欢的”颜色时，蓝色往往名列前茅。研究表明，蓝色可以减缓脉搏跳动速度，降低体温。所以蓝色是卧室的绝佳颜色选择。由语境可推知，蓝色能降低脉搏跳动速度，是适合卧室的颜色，故此处terrific与wonderful语意相近，故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的However, it’s clearly not the color of calm, so it’s best not to use it when painting a place where you want to relax, 然而，它显然不是平静的颜色，所以最好不要用它来粉刷一个你想放松的地方，由此可知，卧室粉刷时应避免橙色，故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的Choose colors you love and you won’t go wrong! 选择你喜欢的颜色，你就不会出错。由此可知，根据Zimmer的观点，当我们选择颜料颜色时，首先应考虑的是我们的偏好，故选B。
【点睛】做细节题时，用题干直接在文章中进行定位，与题干意思相符的原文或是在原文附近就是答案的位置。如第4题，根据题干what should we consider first when we choose paint colors 可定位在原文的最后一段的Choose colors you love and you won’t go wrong!既是答案所在。

It was late after 9 PM. All the parents picked up their children, but my Mom wasn’t here yet. Coach Johnson waited with me. We just stood. A speeding car turned the corner; it was my Mom’s Toyota. Coach patted me on the back and left.
“I am so sorry I am late.Time just flew.” Said Mom. I wanted to cry in disappointment and tell her that I hate to be always last to be picked up and never have her come to my sporting contests, school plays, or anything else; ask her why she won’t make time for me. But when I looked at her and saw her tired eyes and clenched jaw (咬紧下巴), I just said: “That's OK, Mom, I understand.” Her jaw had stayed clenched since we came to this country as Mom would say: “with two pieces of luggage, a three-year-old (me), and $700.”

【答案】One possible version:
Nationals finally came and My Mom came for the first time ever. Seeing my Mom in the bleachers, I was especially excited. I was like racehorses at the gate: nervously waiting and heads held high. I was the last runner in our team.“ I have to seal the win.” I told myself. After Wendy passed the baton in my hand, I exploded forward. The crowd were screaming. My thoughts rocked with the pulse of the blood.I was beginning to pick up speed again when I was suddenly thrown off balance. Just as I was regaining control, I hit the floor and dropped the baton. My world had just ended.
I had let everybody down and I ran out to hide myself. My legs were all bloody, but that's not what hurt. I disappointed everybody. After a while, my mom, with red eyes, found me. “I will quit the team.” I whispered. “No, love! You had the best time in the race. It was an accident.” She continued to make me feel good, but I heard only her soft voice coming as a warm embrace at me, and then I cried out my sorrow,“ You're… never at my meets… always late… you don't have time… you're not proud of me.” Her voice dropped,“I love you so much that I wanted to build a stronger boat for us. I am proud of you every second.” Thirsty for those words, I ran into herarms. The next day, I went back to the track. When I looked at my Mom in the bleachers, we smiled.

【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和同学赢得了洲际比赛，将要冲向全国的比赛，但是别的同学的父母都到场和自己的孩子一起欢呼时，作者只能打电话给母亲，电话那头母亲没有表示祝贺，作者因此感到很失望，作者希望母亲能来现场看比赛，也希望母亲能够早点来接自己，但是想到母亲一直咬紧牙关养育自己，作者的内心的想法也说不出口。
