Just being smart doesn’t mean someone will be successful.And just because someone is less smart doesn’t mean that person will fail.That’s one take-home message from the work of people like Angela Duckworth.
She works at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.Like many other researchers，Duckworth wondered what makes one person more successful than another.When digging deeper，Duckworth found that the people who performed best shared a quality independent of smarts.They had what she now calls grit(毅力)．Duckworth developed a set of questions to test it.
In one study of people aged 25 and older，she found that as people age，they become more likely to stick with a project.She also found that grit increases with education.People who had finished college scored higher in the grit test than people who quit before graduation did.People who went to graduate school after college scored even higher.
She then did another study with college students.Duckworth wanted to see how smarts and grit influenced performance in school.So she compared scores on college-entrance exams，which test IQ，to school grades and someone’s score in the grit test.Students with higher grades seem to have more grit.That’s not surprising.Getting good grades takes both smarts and hard work.
But some people counter that this grit means success.Among those people is Marcus Credé，a teacher at Iowa State University in Ames.He recently showed the results of 88 studies on grit.Together，nearly 67,000 people took part in these studies.And grit did not predict success，Credé found.
However，he thinks grit is very similar to someone’s ability to set goals，work toward them and think things through before acting.It’s a basic personality quality，Credé notes—not something that can be changed.
“Study habits and skills，test anxiety and class attendance are far more strongly connected to school grades than grit，” Credé says.“We can teach students how to study well.We can help them with their test anxiety，” he adds.“I’m not sure we can do that with grit.”
1．What can we know from the first two paragraphs
A．Grit decides how smart one might be.
B．Grit is a quality dependent on smarts.
C．Success has nothing to do with smarts.
D．Smart people may not succeed.
2．What might influence a person’s grit according to Angela Duckworth’s findings
A．Lifestyles. B．Family tradition.
C．Education. D．Personality types.
3．What does the underlined word “counter” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Doubt. B．Reply.
C．Accept. D．Warn.
4．What is Credé’s opinion about grit
A．It is strongly related to test anxiety.
B．It can hardly be taught in school.
C．It should be paid no attention to in teaching.
D．It can’t influence students’ school grades.

Growing up in a small village in southern Ghana，Osei Boateng watched many of his family members and neighbors struggle to access basic health care.In many regions of the country，it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital.Boateng said many people lost their lives due to preventable or treatable diseases.His grandmother and aunt were among them.
Feeling an urgent call to help，Boateng decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana where education and preventative health care were lacking.
Boateng wanted to find a way to remove these barriers to health care access and education.He started his nonprofit organization，OKB Hope Foundation.In 2021，he converted(转变) a van(面包车) into a mobile doctor’s office and started bringing health care directly to those in need.A few times a week，the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities and provide free routine medical care.
On each trip，Boateng’s team is made up of a nurse，a physician assistant，a doctor，and an operation assistant.In the van，they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis(尿液分析) as well as provide medicine.“It’s like a one-stop shop for people，” said Boateng，adding that most of the people they see have one health issue or another.Since its launch，the Hope Health Van has served more than 4,000 Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care，according to Boateng.
Boateng has gone all in on his OKB Hope Foundation，recently quitting his job to dedicate(奉献) his time to bringing health care to his home country.But for him，the sacrifices(牺牲) are well worth.“Words cannot describe the feeling that you provide care for someone who otherwise wouldn’t be alive if your mobile health van wasn’t there.” He has big plans for the future.He hopes to expand them to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but those in other countries.
5．What is the purpose of mentioning the example in paragraph 1
A．To show the importance of life.
B．To describe how hard Boateng’s family lived.
C．To point out what’s wrong with the hospital.
D．To stress the seriousness of lacking health care.
6．How does Boateng carry out his mission
A．He operates on patients in the van.
B．He rents a doctor’s office wherever he goes.
C．He provides medical care by charging some fees.
D．He offers people health care using mobile clinic.
7．What do we know about the Hope Health Van
A．It really works.
B．It makes a profit.
C．It serves the whole Ghana.
D．It produces some good medicine.
8．Which of the following can best describe Boateng
A．Dependable and creative.
B．Caring and ambitious.
C．Thoughtful and humorous.
D．Determined and demanding.

(2025·四川成都高二上期中)
Florence Nightingale is widely regarded as the founder of modern nursing.Born into a wealthy upper-class British family，Nightingale was provided with a comprehensive education that included mathematics and languages.However，despite her family’s expectations that she would focus on traditional female pursuits like marriage and motherhood，Nightingale felt drawn to a career in nursing from a young age.
Nightingale was deeply moved by the pains of the sick and injured，particularly during the Crimean War (1853－1856)．At a time when nursing was not considered a respectable profession for women of her class，she decided to pursue her calling.She faced significant opposition from her family，who believed that nursing was under her social status，but she persevered.
In 1854，Nightingale and a team of 38 nurses traveled to the Crimean War front，where conditions in the military hospitals were awful.She immediately set about improving hygiene and sanitation，organizing nursing care，and calling for better treatment of the wounded soldiers.Her tireless efforts and compassionate nursing earned her the nickname “The Lady with the Lamp”，as she was often seen making rounds at night，carrying a lamp to check on the soldiers.
Her work significantly reduced the death rate among the wounded soldiers and brought much-needed attention to the terrible conditions of military hospitals.Her actions led to reforms in military healthcare and established the importance of proper nursing care in the treatment of the sick and injured.
After the war，Nightingale returned to England as a national hero.She used her newfound fame to continue calling for improved healthcare and nursing standards.She published several influential works，including “Notes on Nursing” and “Notes on Hospitals”，which became seminal texts in the field of nursing.
In summary，Florence Nightingale’s life is a testament to the power of determination，compassion，and the ability to effect meaningful change.Her legacy continues to inspire and guide the nursing profession and healthcare reform to this day.

2．What did Nightingale do at the Crimean War front
A．She wrote several influential works.
B．She cured many wounded soldiers.
C．She called for better treatment for common people.
D．She improved the conditions in the military hospitals.

It is common in the athletic world.Sportsmen spend the best part of their lives on hard training and competitions.When it becomes evident that they are on the decline，they still make great efforts to give their best so as to bring a satisfactory end to their career.
Chances to compete for the championship are few and far between.Life is short.Still shorter is the time for an athlete trying to win games.An athletic contestant really feels that there are so few opportunities and time flies.He treasures every minute，makes full use of it and tries to grasp any chance coming his way.He gets as much as he gives，winning honors not only for himself but also for his country.
To participate and to win—that is the Olympic spirit.It finds expression in the weak daring to challenge the strong，and the strong searching forever better performance.Ever better—the ideal always makes a sportsman forward.He will do everything he can for it，never relax，never give up.It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated—even the best is bound to be defeated by someone still stronger.This is the rule of sports—thousands of losers set off one winner who in turn will eventually be replaced by someone on the honor list.However，he is always trying to do the best he can.When the time comes and he knows he can’t，he will step down happily to give place to the younger winner，aware contentedly of the fact that he has done his best for the “ever better” records of the Olympic Games.He will say proudly that he has not lived his youth in vain.

“From this moment forward，in an effort to keep a healthy lifestyle，I’ve determined not to consume any snacks except bread” is what I told myself yesterday，and yet here I am today eating a chocolate bar.I’m aware that I’m breaking my own promise to myself.Instead of eating this，I should be working out or something.But the thing is，chocolate is too good at this moment for me to refuse it!
As I type this，I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification(即时满足)—the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit.In fact，when you want it，you get it.
Instant gratification is also the exact opposite of what we’re taught to do—delayed gratification (延迟满足): deciding to put off satisfying our current want to gain something better in the future.We’ve all encountered instant gratification before.Should I sleep in or wake up early to work out When I get home，should I rest and watch TV first or get started on my homework
All humans tend to seek pleasure and avoid pain，a basic concept known as the pleasure principle.Originally coined(创造) by Sigmund Freud，it clearly states that all humans are driven，to some extent，by pleasure.
However，pleasant not doing your homework may seem right now，it only results in guilt(愧疚) and last-minute panicking late at night.An inability to resist instant gratification may result in underachieving in the long term and failure to meet certain goals.
Instant gratification，however，is not necessarily a bad thing.You don’t always have to say no to things you want at that moment，and it’s good to treat yourself when you need it.In other words，times when you “treat yourself” are only valuable in combination with delayed gratification.While my chocolate bar may taste good now，it’ll taste even better if I only eat it after I’ve worked out or done something healthy.
5．How does the author introduce the topic
A．By making a contrast.
B．By describing a personal experience.
C．By giving a definition.
D．By listing detailed problems.
6．Which of the following is an example of instant gratification
A．Driving to eat what you want late at night.
B．Exercising regularly for long-term health.
C．Limiting time on social media apps.
D．Finishing homework before watching TV.
7．What’s the author’s attitude of instant gratification
A．Objective. B．Doubtful.
C．Negative. D．Unconcerned.
8．What can be the best title for the text
A．The Power of Instant Gratification
B．The Pleasure Principle and Its Result
C．Instant Gratification：A Double-Edged Sword
D．The Difficulties of Modern Lifestyle Choices

The law of supply and demand determines that an overabundance of anything will lead to a decrease in price.This rule applies not only to goods and services，but also to lifestyle and fashion trends.
In the 19th century，the primitive paintings of Picasso and Matisse shook up the positive image of the French bourgeoisie(中产阶级)．In the 1970s，talented musicians with tailored costumes and egos were overshadowed by a band of punk rockers who sang about the cruel realities of ordinary life in poor urban areas.
I predict that this will also happen with beauty standards.The idealized version of life portrayed in fashion magazines will reach a turning point，as people become tired of unattainable perfection.
During my time in Washington D．C.in the 1990s，I had the opportunity to interact with numerous political celebrities.While chatting with former presidents or bumping into TV pundits(名嘴) in elevators，I also assisted former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara，who was my boss’s boss.What struck me was how plain these people appeared in real life despite their public characters.Like everyone else，they grappled with insecurities and mood swings，even though they were constantly under the spotlight.
Yes，it was great to drop names on the phone to my friends.My father，of course，couldn’t understand why I would ever want to leave there.“Because you’re not me and I’m not impressed，” I told him.We do not need to lead a luxurious life or make groundbreaking achievements to be content.Happiness can be found in living out the ordinary moments of an authentic life.
Most of us end up being ordinary people without doing anything that changes the world，but that does not mean our lives are meaningless.In fact，it is precisely this realization that leads to sustainable happiness because，when all is said and done，no one’s lifestyle is essentially better than any other’s.
5．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．People’s lifestyle was changed by French bourgeoisie.
B．New forms of art and music started to focus more on reality.
C．Artists and musicians called on people to lead a simple and real life.
D．Ordinary people’s understanding of art and music was in a lower class at that time.
6．What does the author’s observation about political celebrities suggest
A．They are just like ordinary people.
B．They lack the ability to lead a normal life.
C．They are not as successful as they claim to be.
D．They are not as intelligent as they appear on TV.
7．Which of the following can best replace the underline phrase in paragraph 4
A．Struggled with. B．Agreed with.
C．Came up with. D．Competed with.
8．What does the author want to imply in the last paragraph
A．No one’s lifestyle is as same as others’.
B．People should strive for a better lifestyle.
C．People should be content with their own lifestyles.
D．People should critically evaluate other people’s lifestyles.

People may appreciate the mighty sea and those deep，dark lakes when it comes to waters. 1 However，ponds are an important body of water as they fight climate change，improve biodiversity，and help conservation，according to The Revelator organization.So if you are thinking about creating a beautiful and enriching element to your garden this spring，consider a pond.
2 In Switzerland，less than ten percent of the ponds from the last 200 years remain.And in the UK，less than a quarter of the ponds that existed at the start of the 20th century are still around.
Nowadays，a European organization called PONDERFUL is trying to give ponds power by increasing awareness of their importance.They are the unsung heroes of the natural world and are in the front line of climate action，supporting wildlife and capturing harmful emissions.
Adding even a tiny pond in your garden can achieve natural wonders and will actually better all other ecosystems，according to Pond Informer，an online guide about ponds. 3 For example，ponds are a shelter for frogs that eat insects and keep the ecosystem balanced.
They also offer a space for birds to bathe，cool，off and drink. 4 They help with pollination，spread seeds，and control insects.Swallows can eat hundreds of thousands of insects each night，bugs that may just munch on your garden during the day!
With help now on the way，Switzerland has made hundreds of new ponds thus increasing the population of birds and frogs，including the endangered European tree frog. 5
A．Ponds are simply disappearing.
B．Tiny ponds are usually ignored.
C．In turn，these birds can benefit your garden.
D．Your pond can play a part in your community.
E．People can have a great time by creating the ponds.
F．A pond becomes home to many plants and animals.
G．Small，shallow ponds are being restored on former golf courses in the UK.

Now Isaac Winfield，a kind-hearted 11-year-old boy，needs to buy more sheds(棚) to store the donated items.
“We’d always donated to the local food banks，and he always helped deliver food packages to the needy，” said his mom Claire，who added that recently Isaac had moved to a specialist school that didn’t have a similar program，leaving him frustrated that he couldn’t continue to help people.
“But the tough boy didn’t stop.He said，‘We’ll give them food at my house，’” said Claire.“He used his own birthday money to launch a food bank service which he runs from his garden shed.He fills bags of groceries(食品杂货) and hands them out to the needy around his hometown.” His parents give him a lift at weekends，but sometimes it’s Isaac who takes the bags of groceries to people on foot.Those in need are also able to go to Isaac’s food bank shed，which is open round the clock，and help themselves.
“At the beginning，he put all the food he bought in a little greenhouse with some lights and started offering it from there，” Claire remembered.“Someone spotted it and put it on one of those social media community sites and it went mad.The greenhouse lasted four weeks before I had to go and get a shed because we ran out of room.” Now Isaac is planning to open his second food bank in the town and has a local charity sponsoring(赞助) him.
Isaac was born with a rare chromosome(染色体) disease，and the food bank has helped “massively” with his confidence，as he can’t read or write.“For his 11th birthday，he just wants to get as many donations in as possible to help as many people as he can，” said Claire.Isaac has now been nominated(提名) for a local business award.
1．What does the underlined word “frustrated” in paragraph 2 mean

C．Upset. D．Satisfied.
2．What do we know about Isaac’s food bank
A．It was established at his new school.
B．It was funded by a local charity.
C．It hires locals to deliver food.
D．It is open 24 hours a day.
3．How did locals react to Isaac’s food bank according to paragraph 4
A．They considered it as useless.
B．They gave some advice on it.
C．They showed great interest in it.
D．They donated lots of money to it.
4．What does the food bank do for Isaac
A．It cures him of a disease.
B．It improves his confidence.
C．It costs him too much money.
D．It has a bad influence on his studies.

O．Henry(1862－1910) was an American short story author whose real name was William Sydney Porter.Henry’s works reflected his wide range of experiences and are distinctive for its witticism(俏皮话)，clever wordplay，and unexpected twist endings.
Like many other writers，O.Henry’s early career aims were unfocused and he wandered across different activities and professions before he finally found his calling as a short story writer.He started working in his uncle’s drugstore in 1879.Later，he moved to Texas where he lived on a farm and learned sheep shepherding，cooking，babysitting，and bits of Spanish and German from the many migrant farmhands.
Over the next several years，he took a number of different jobs，from drafting to journalism，and banking，but he was careless with accounting，thus fired by the bank and charged with a crime in 1894.He fled the day before the trial in 1896，first to New Orleans，then to Honduras，where he learned his wife was dying and could not join him，so he returned to Austin and turned himself into the court.His father-in-law helped him out so he could remain with his wife until her death in 1897.Later he was sentenced and served in Federal prison in Ohio from 1898 to 1902.
The many twists and turns of O．Henry’s own life，including his travels in Latin America and time spent in prison，clearly inspired his stories’ twists and wordplay.His prolific writing period began in 1902 in New York City，where he wrote many short stories which show his obvious affection for this City and its diversity of people and places.O.Henry’s trademark is his witty，plot-twisting endings，and his warm characterization of the awkward and difficult situations and the creative ways people find to deal with them，which typically features in his work like The Last Leaf，The Gift of the Magi，etc.All of his stories are highly entertaining，whether read for pleasure or studied in classrooms around the world.
Unfortunately，O.Henry’s personal tragedy was heavy drinking.He died in 1910 of several diseases.He was a gifted short story writer and left us a rich legacy of great stories to enjoy.
5．What happened to O．Henry in his early life
A．He took up writing as his lifelong profession early on.
B．He had a pretty good command of Spanish and German.
C．He engaged himself with numerous jobs to experience life.
D．He failed to live a stable life and switched jobs for a living.
6．What does the underlined word “prolific” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Relevant. B．Productive.
C．Profitable. D．Original.
7．Which of the following words can best describe O．Henry’s works
A．Educational and tragic.
B．Unpredictable and serious.
C．Fascinating and twisty.
D．Extraordinary and formal.
8．What does O．Henry’s life story convey
A．More haste，less speed.
B．Time and tide wait for no man.
C．He who laughs last laughs best.
D．Suffering is a stepping stone to genius.

Having more money isn’t always possible，but happiness doesn’t have to cost a lot.In fact，finding creative ways to enjoy life without spending much can bring even greater joy.Here are some tips for being happier when you’re on a budget.
Purchase experiences，not things.
Instead of buying material items，spend your money on experiences like trips，concerts，or meals out. 1 You don’t need a fancy vacation to make unforgettable memories; simple activities like playing soccer in the park with family or hiking in a national park can be just as fulfilling.
　2　
Time stress is a real burden on people，and anything that you can do to reduce the stress will make you happier.People who spend money on time-saving technology and services report feeling happier for longer.This is because outsourcing(将……交外办理) boring tasks，like house cleaning or doing taxes，frees you up to spend time with loved ones or practice self-care.
Spend money according to your values.
Take the time to think about your core values，or what is the most important to you，and make a list of priorities based on those values. 3 It helps you focus on what truly brings you satisfaction and avoid wasting money on less important things.
Invest in others.
Buying someone a gift，donating money to a cause you value，giving change to a homeless person，volunteering your time—all these things will make you feel so much happier than spending the money on something for yourself. 4
You don’t need a big unexpected fortune to be happy. 5 Make sure your basic needs are met，then invest in others and experiences.It’s the only strategy for buying your way to a happier life.
A．Buy yourself time.
B．Handle time stress properly.
C．Use this list to guide your spending.
D．You simply have to shift your spending strategy.
E．You need to take your tight budget into consideration.
F．These create lasting memories and help you connect with others.
G．Acts of kindness and generosity often lead to a greater sense of fulfillment.

1．C　[词义猜测题。根据上文可知，他们一直向当地的食物银行捐款，帮助别人。结合画线词所在句可知，Isaac后来就读的学校没有类似食物银行的项目，他不能继续帮助别人了，这让他感到很沮丧。下文中男孩继续帮助别人的举动说明帮助别人才能令他快乐。故画线词意思是“难过的，沮丧的”，与upset相近。故选C。]

(2025·陕西渭南高二上期中)
In 1879，Mark Twain wrote an idea he had for a story in his notebook: “A poor man was loaned a ￡1,000,000 note for 30 days and he got rich on it because nobody could change it.” In the following years，he thought of the idea occasionally，putting down the title as a reminder or outlining a related idea，but nothing came of it.
A decade later，financial problems at Charles L．Webster & Co.，the publishing firm founded and owned by Twain，had become serious.The company’s balance sheet was destroyed by ongoing investments(投资) in a hopeless typesetting machine and by disappointing sales.To keep the company afloat，he had to continue investing his own money in it.Things didn’t get better.
In the summer of 1891，worried by the dwindling income and rising debts(减少的收入和增加的债务)，Mark Twain and his family left their large house，sold the horses，laid off their servants，and took off for Europe so that the internationally celebrated author could cash in on his name abroad.In addition to writing travel articles for McClure’s Magazine and the New York newspaper The Sun，Twain earned money by giving readings in various European cities.Eventually，he earned enough to pay back all the debts.
While having an expensive lifestyle in Europe，dining with important persons，and enjoying the widespread attention of the media，Samuel Clemens，the man behind the personality known as Mark Twain，was very poor; the future that awaited him included the closure of his publishing firm and personal bankruptcy(破产)．As a virtually penniless man everyone assumed was rich，he doubtlessly realized the absurdity(荒唐) of his situation and the time must have seemed right to take that idea of a million-pound note and turn it into a story about the nature of wealth.He finished the story while in Florence during the fall of 1892 and sent it off to the editors of Century Magazine.
1．What was Mark Twain’s idea for a story in 1879
A．A man develops a company from nothing.
B．A poor man becomes rich by working hard.
C．A man with a million-pound loan becomes rich.
D．A wealthy man loses everything and becomes homeless.
2．What happened to Mark Twain’s publishing firm according to paragraph 2
A．It opened several overseas branches.
B．It got into financial difficulties.
C．It faced plenty of competition.
D．It published many bestsellers.
3．Why did Mark Twain travel to Europe
A．To experience a different lifestyle.
B．To escape from paying his debts.
C．To sell his new books.
D．To make money.
4．What inspired Mark Twain to complete the story occurring to him in 1879
A．His desire for wealth.
B．The media attention he got.
C．The situation he found himself in.
D．His meetings with important persons.

The film，Remember the Titans，tells an inspiring story of a sports team achieving the highest level of accomplishment against great challenges.The team’s coach Herman Boone pushes the players farther than they could have imagined.On the first day of practice，he says，“When you put that uniform on，you’d better come to work.We will be perfect in every aspect of the game.” Over the course of the season，the coach and the team come to understand they are not perfect，but by working together，they can be unbeatable.
Yet，when it comes specifically to the importance of the pursuit(追求) of perfection mentioned early in the movie，renowned sport psychologist Dr.Jerry Lynch has a different view：
“Having such an unachievable goal positions young athletes perfectly for failure.Yet，they keep measuring their self-worth as athletes and people by outcomes and results，by winning and losing，and by achievements and failures.Parents play a huge role in this problem because they believe，usually unconsciously(下意识地) or unintentionally，that they are better parents if their kids are perfect.As a result，I often find myself working with kids who are terribly disappointed in themselves or often angry about not measuring up.Over time，these pressures lead to parents unintentionally refusing to give their love over poor performances，which harms their family relationship.”
Lynch encourages parents to remind children that there are only two kinds of athletes: those who fail and those who will fail.Lynch notes，“Professional baseball hitters are considered great if they get a hit a third of the time.Professional basketball players are considered excellent if they make half of their shots from three-point range.If soccer players，on average，make one goal for every five shots they attempt，they are celebrated.Those who are the best always mean to do their best，they strive to be the best they can be，and this puts them in a position for good things to happen...but not perfect things.”
5．What does Herman Boone think is the most important
A．Having good opportunities.
B．Wearing united uniforms.
C．Perfect performance.
D．Teamwork.
6．What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss
A．The result of overfocusing on perfection.
B．The wrong standards set by athletes’ parents.
C．The relationship pressure for teenagers in families.
D．The common emotional problems faced by athletes.
7．What does Lynch want to show by giving examples in the last paragraph
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．Many athletes do not set high goals.
C．Great athletes also make mistakes.
D．Winning is difficult for many athletes.
8．What is the main purpose of the text
A．To present a film.
B．To teach an attitude to life.
C．To introduce a psychologist.
D．To give coaches suggestions.

1．C　[细节理解题。根据第一段中“In 1879，Mark Twain wrote...‘A poor man was loaned a ￡1,000,000 note for 30 days and he got rich on it because nobody could change it.’”可知，故事的想法是一个穷人借了一张一百万英镑的钞票，然后靠这张钞票变得富有。故选C。]
