As the lyrics to Taylor Swifs hit song "Bad Blood" go: "Cause, baby, now we got bad blood. You know it used to be mad love." It's a song about falling out of friendship, but to 14-year-old Hallie Barnard, who was born with a rare blood disorder, the song holds a much deeper meaning.
Atjust 15 months old, Barnard was diagnosed with Diamon Blackfin Anemia, or DBA, and she spent most of her life in and out of the hospital. The Swiftie said she relied on the singer to bring her joy.
The only way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant（骨髓移植）and Barnard was desperate for one. But she knew thousands of other patients are, too. So, a few years ago, she decided to do something about it, creating her own foundation: Hallie's Heroes. "It started selfishly as just trying to save my life, but then we realized there were so many other children out there that needed a bone marrow transplant," she said. "So, so far we've tested 8,000 people and found over 300 matches."
After a 9-year wait, Bamard got her own match —through her own foundation. But more obstacles stood between her and normal life as a kid. The blood disorder led to a cancer diagnosis: osteosarcoma. She received surgery to cut the cancer out of her leg at MD Anderson in Houston.
The recovery was dificult, but Hallie said she stayed hopeful. "My survival instinct just kicked in. I was trying to do anything that I could to survive. So, of course, it was scary but in my mind, I was just thinking that I wanted to be at my sister's future weddings. I wanted to play games and run again," she said.
Her survival instinct-combined with Taylor Swift-helped her through her operation, where doctors cut her cancer out, and reattached her foot and ankle to her upper leg to work as a knee.
41. Why does the author mention Taylor Swift's song "Bad Blood"
A. To stress the power of music.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To show Taylor Swift's popularity.
D. To state Taylor Swift's song is a hit.
42. What is Hallie Barnard's original motivation for creating Hallie's Heroes
A. To raise money for her heroes.
B. To treat her rare blood disorder.
C. To help other children with DBA.
D. To have an operation for her cancer.
43. What does the underlined phrase "kicked in" in paragraph 5 mean
A. begin to play a role B. disappear
C. speed up D. break down
44. Which of the following can best describe Hallie Barnard
A. Strong-minded and selfish B. Hard-working and patient.
C. Kind and optimistic. D. Outgoing and helpful.
45. What's the best title for the text
A. "Bad Blood" Inspired More People
B. Hallie's Heroes: a Useful Foundation
C. Taylor Swift: a Popular Singer with Teens
D. A Cancer Survivor Helped Others Find Matches
C
Team-building exercises have become popular for managers trying to increase organizational and team harmony and productivity . Unfortunately, many employees are angry about compulsory bonding and often regard these exercises as a nuisance（烦事）.
A paper published this week by University of Sydney researchers in Social Networks has reported participants' feelings about team-building interventions （干预）, revealing ethical implications in forcing employees to take part.
"Many people see team building activities as a waste of time, so we decided to look in more depth at what's behind this," said the paper's lead researcher, Dr Peter Matous.
"Teams are formed, combined and restructured. Staff are relocated and office spaces redesigned. All this is done with the aim of improving workplace efficiency, collaboration and cohesion. But does any of this work " said Dr Matous.
The study found that team-building exercises which focused on the sharing of and intervening into personal attitudes and relationships between team members were considered too rude and nosy（爱打听）, although the researchers say some degree of openness and vulnerability( 脆弱 ) is often necessary to make deep, effective connections with colleagues.
"Some participants were against team-building exercises because they were indirectly compulsory. They didn't welcome management's interest in their lives beyond their direct work performance," said Matous. "Many people don't want to be forced into having fun or making friends, especially not on top of their busy jobs. They feel management is being too nosy or trying to control their lives too much."
In this study the researchers recommended a self-disclosure （表露） approach where participants were guided through a series of questions that allowed them to increasingly disclose personal information and values. The method is well-tested and has been shown to increase interpersonal closeness. However, to be successful it must be voluntary.
The researchers said there are numerous schools of thought that propose differing psychological methods for strengthening relationships. "With caution, many relational methods to improve teams and organizations can be borrowed from other fields. The question is how to apply them effectively to strengthen an entire collective, which is more than just the sum of individual relationships," said Dr Matous.
46. Why are many employees opposed to team-buildling exercises
A. They consider such exercises annoying.
B. They deem these exercises counter-productive.
C. They see such exercises as harmful to harmony.
D. They find these exercises too demanding.
47. What did Dr Matous and his team do to find out whether team-building activities would improve productivity
A. They relocated team leaders and their offices.
B. They rearanged the staff and office spaces.
C. They redesigned the staffs work schedules.
D. They reintroduced some cohesive activities.
48. What did the study by Matous' team find about some team-building exercises
A. They were intended to share personal attitudes and relationships.
B. They indirectly added to the vulnerability of team members.
C. They always strengthened connections among colleagues.
D. They were regarded as a violation of employees' privacy.
49. How can the self-disclosure approach succeed in increasing interpersonal closeness
A. By allowing participants freedom to express themselves.
B. By applying it to employees who volunteer to participate.
C. By arranging in proper order the questions participants face.
D. By guiding employees through a series of steps in team building.
50. What does Matous think of the various psychological methods borrowed from other fields for strengthening relationships
A. They must be used in combination for an entire collective.
B. They prioritize some psychological aspects over others.
C. They place too much stress on individual relationships.
D. They have to be applied cautiously to be effective.
D
Having a rival（对手） can keep you committed to achieving your goals and enhance your overall performance. But before you go out and find an entrepreneur （创业者） to outcompete（胜出）, it's important to understand and avoid the traps that often come with rivalry. After all, competitive rivalry can also make it difficult for you to make a decision and increase your willingness to take risks, behaviors that can ultimately hurt your venture's （风险项目） success.
Finding someone you're committed to outcompeting can be a great way to stay focused on your goals and push your venture to the next level. But when you're intently focused on outperforming your rivals, you may begin to develop a "win-at-all-costs" mentality （心态） that causes you to ignore how you achieve success. One group of researchers, for example, examined the link between rivalry and unethical（不道德的） behavior. They found that when people compete against their rivals, they are more willing to behave unethically to win. But such behavior may damage your reputation and strain（使···紧张） relationships important to your success. One way to avoid this trap is to stop and reflect on what's important. While outperforming your rivals may provide short-term benefits, the loss of your integrity （正直） will have long-term consequences.
One reason having a rival can enhance your venture's performance is that it creates a level of excitement that drives you to work harder. But this eagerness to win may also hurt your venture's success, particularly when it causes you to make impulsive, insensible decisions. But it's possible to avoid such costly mistakes by making a habit of engaging in critical thinking, such as considering opposing viewpoints and conducting cost-benefit analyses, especially for those decisions that are complex and can determine the future of your venture.
The sense of eagerness that comes with having a rival can not only cause you to make poorer decisions, but it can also lead you to take greater risks that put your venture in great dangers. One way you can overcome the risk-inducing（诱发）effects of rivalry that stand to endanger your venture's success is to remain attentive to your emotional state and actively monitor how such feelings are affecting your decision-making.
51. How can competitive rivalry benefit entrepreneurs according to the passage
A. By enabling them to outcompete other entrepreneurs.
B. By enabling them to make their venture a success.
C. By helping them to reach long-term goals.
D. By helping them to stay goal-oriented.
52. What is one of the traps entrepreneurs may often fall into when competing with rivals
A. They may adopt strategies that are bound to ruin their venture.
B. They may depend on unethical means to outperform their rivals.
C. They may be too eager to succeed while ignoring the huge labor cost.
D. They may be intently focused on winning at the current market level.
53. What are entrepreneurs advised to do to avoid traps that often accompany rivalry
A. Think very carefully about what really matters.
B. Prioritize obtaining immediate benefits.
C. Estimate the long-term consequences.
D. Reflect on what successes are achievable.
54. How can entrepreneurs avoid making impulsive and insensible decisions
A. By engaging themselves in critical reasoning.
B. By developing a habit of keeping their integrity.
C. By criticizing themselves for previous poor performances.
D. By stopping themselves from being too excited about their successes.
55. How can entrepreneurs overcome the risk-inducing effects of rivalry
A. By paying close attention to their current performance.
B. By taking steps that stand to endanger their rivals' success.
C. By monitoring how their decision-making impacts their mentality.
D. By keeping their emotions in check to avoid making poor decisions.

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
More than 25 years ago, Saroo Brierley lived in rural India. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up and found himself alone, the 4-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front of him—so he got on.
That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage（孤儿院） . There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.
As he writes in his new book, A Long Way Home, Brierley couldn't help but wonder about his hometown back in India. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn't know his town's name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible.
Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program's satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town's central business district from a bird's-eye view. He thought, "On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station"—and there it was." And on the lef-hand side you should see a big fountain"—and there it was. Everything just started to match.
When he stood in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing in the entrance. "There's something about me," he thought-and it took him a few seconds but he finally reminisced about what she used to look like.
In an interview Brierley says, "My mother looked so much shorter than I remembered. But she came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, and my feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain, you know, it was like a nuclear fusion （核聚变） . I just didn't know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her."
56. Why did Brierley get on the train in front of him (No more than 10 words)
57. What made Brierley move to Tasmania from India (No more than 12 words)
58. How did Brierley manage to find his hometown in India (No more than 10words)
