9、d like to make a statue(塑像) of me-is that correct, Miss Vinnie Ream?”The deep, gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl. Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter, especially for a seventeen-year-old girl.“Yes, sir,” she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. “I wouldnt

10、 have dared ask you, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am ready. I plan to make it in an admirable manner. “President Lincoln smiled. “Painters, sculptors-theyve all tried to make the best of this ordinary face, but Im afraid theres not much hope. What did you have in mind, Miss Ream? A bust(半身像)?”B

11、efore Vinnie could say yes, the President hurried on, a shade of apology in his voice. “Of course- -I shouldnt have asked. A full-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size. “Vinnies face turned red. She realized she looked like a child, with her tiny figure. “Small does

12、 not mean weak, sir,” she defended herself. “I was born in the country of Wisconsin. Ive driven teams of horses and carried water. Making a full-length clay(粘土) figure would not exhaust my strength - and that is what I intend to do!”The Presidents eyes, brightened at her show of spirit. “Sorry, mada

13、m, I have underestimated you as I didnt know your background.”But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers, in thought. “Miss Ream,” he sighed, “Id like to let you do it, but as you know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now? I

14、 hardly have a minute to myself.”Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office. “I work quickly,” she said. Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows. “If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon, I could complete most of the

15、 project while you are at your desk.”The President seemed to consider her idea seriously. He got up and shook Vinnies hand warmly, “Ive heard that you are a talented young woman, and I have found you charming and intelligent as well. I cannot make my decision immediately, but you will hear from me s

16、oon.”The very next day, Vinnie received an invitation from the President.24. What gave Vinnie confidence to make her request of President Lincoln?A. Her aggressive personality. B.

Devotion requires enthusiasm.CFor people, who are interested in sound, the field of sound technology is d

19、efinitely making noise. In the past, sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios, but many of todays sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound.Sound can be used as a

20、 weapon. Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief. The thief tries to escape. And the officer cant let him get away. He pulls out a special device, points it at the suspect, and switches it on. The thief drops to the ground. This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device(LRAD, 远程定向声波

21、发射器). It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person. The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person, but it is not deadly.For those who hunger for some peace and quiet, sound can now create silence. Lets say you

22、are at the airport, and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming(哼唱) a short commercial song. He hums it over and over again, and you are about to go crazy. Thanks to the Silence Machine, a British invention, you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents. One may won

23、der how the Silence Machine works. Well, it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves. The two sets of waves cancel each other out. Simply turn the machine or point it at the target, and your peace and quiet comes back.Directed sound is a new

24、technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights(聚光灯) are used in the theater. A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage; similarly, “spotsound” creates a circle of sound in one targeted area. This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores becau

25、se it offers a new way to attract customers. Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu, allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining. Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes.28. Wha

26、t could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRAD?A. It causes temporary hearing loss. B. It slows down a running man.C. It makes it easy to identify a suspect. D. It keeps the suspect from hurting others.29. The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to _.A. silence the peop

27、le around you B. remove the sound of commercialsC. block the incoming sound waves D. stop unwanted sound from affecting you30. What feature do spotsounds and spotlights share?A. They travel in circles. B. They clear the atmosphere.C. They can be transformed into energy. D. They can be directed onto

28、a specific area.31. What does the passage focus on?A. How professionals invented sound products. B. Inventions in the field of sound technology.C. The growing interest in the study of sound. D. How sound engineers work in their studios.DA group of blue-faced birds step through the grass shoulder to

29、shoulder, red eyes looking around. They look like middle schoolers seeking a cafeteria table at lunchtime. Perhaps theyre not so different. A new study, led by Damien Farine, an ornithologist who studies collective behaviour, shows that the vulturine guineafowl of eastern Africa, like humans, have m

30、ultilevel societies. In the past, scientists assumed such social structures required a lot of brainpower. But the pea-brained guineafowl are revealing the faults in that assumption. These large birds wander across the landscape in packs, often walking so closely that their bodies touch. They may fig

31、ht each other to maintain their strict hierarchies (等级制度), but at other times they engage in friendly behaviours like sharing food. Suspecting the guineafowl might have a social structure, Dr. Farine and his colleagues began a thorough study of their society. For a whole year, they made daily observ

32、ations of 441 birds. Coloured leg bands in unique combinations let researchers tell the black-and-blue birds apart. They also attached GPS devices to the backs of 58 birds, which let them see exactly where every group went, 24 hours a day. The findings of the research suggest that the vulturine guin

33、eafowl have a multilevel society. There are groups within groups within the population as a whole. There even seem to be groups of friends within the small groups. This is the first time anyone has observed such a society in a bird. And Dr. Farine emphasizes this particular birds tiny brain size: “T

34、hey dont only have small brains relative to mammals (哺乳动物), they also have quite small brains relative to other birds,” he said. According to him, living in this kind of society might actually make it easier to keep track of the social order. For example, if groups are stable and a bird can identify

35、 just one or two individuals within a group, it knows which group its looking atno need for a brain that can recognize every single animal. Multilevel societies also let animals adjust their group sizes based on whatever challenges theyre facing. Depending on what enemies or resources are around, it

36、 might make sense to travel in a combined group rather than a smaller one. “Having a multilevel structure may not require having a large brain,” Dr. Farine said. There may be more birds and other animals out there that, although small-brained, have societies as many-leveled as our own. 32According t

37、o the passage, what inspired Dr. Farine to carry out the study? A.The guineafowls social behaviour. B.Previous assumptions about birds. C.His interest in animal brainpower. D.The faults in earlier research. 33What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The research subjects. B.The research methods.C.The res

38、earch findings. D.The research equipment. 34What can be learned from the passage? A.Complex social systems can be a disadvantage to the guineafowl. B.The guineafowl are good at recognizing individuals in a group. C.Birds maintain social order by travelling in combined groups. D.Small-brained animals

39、 can form multilevel societies. 35What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To present the findings of a study of the guineafowl. B.To explain the interaction patterns in multilevel societies. C.To introduce a new approach to observing the guineafowl. D.To uncover clues about how complex societies

Actually I think low self-confidence is more likely to make you successful. Sure, extremely low confidence is not helpful.

41、It prevents performance by including fear, worry, and stress, which may drive people to give up sooner or later. 36 . If your confidence is low, rather than extremely low, you stand a better chance of succeeding than if you have high self-confidence. 37 . Therefore, you will be self-critical. Most p

42、eople get trapped in their optimistic prejudice, so they tend to listen to positive feedback（反馈）and ignore negative feedback. Although this may help them come across as being confident to others, in any area of competition an achievement is 10% performance and 90% preparation. 38 .Lower self-confide

43、nce can get you to work harder and prepare more. If you are careful about your goals, you will work harder when you lack confidence in your abilities. 39 , low confidence is negative. If you really want to do what you want, your low confidence will only make you work harder to achieve it because it

44、will make you know the distance to the goals. Lower self-confidence reduces the possibilities of pride and disappointment. 40 , they are more likely to admit mistakes instead of blaming others. This is the most important benefit of low self-confidence because it points to the fact that low self-conf

45、idence can bring success, not just to individuals but also to organizations and society. A. Actually when you are careless about your goals B. Lower self-confidence makes you focus on negative feedback C. So low confidence can only prevent you from succeeding D. Thus, the more you know weaknesses, t
