Like John, millions of people — and their employers — are finding that telecommuting is a great way to work. Telecommuters can follow their own timetables. They work in the comfort of homes, where they can also look after young children or elderly parents. They save time and money by not traveling to work. Their employers save, too, because they need less office space and furniture. Studies show that telecommuters change jobs less often. This saves employers even more money. Telecommuting helps society, too, by reducing pollution and traffic problems.
Jobs that are suited to telecommuting include writing, design work, computer programming and accounting. If a job is related to working with information, a telecommuter can probably do it.
小题1:From the passage we can learn that John does his job .
A.by telephon | B.through the Internet |
C.in his office | D.away from home |
A.work for several employers | B.enjoy a lot of traveling |
C.get along well with other workers | D.work on your own schedule |
A.their employers can save money |
B.their employers will give them a higher pay |
C.they can get more work experience |
D.they will have a longer paid holiday |
A.acceptable for | B.bad for | C.difficult for | D.fit for |
Most people don’t like rats. In many people’s eyes, rats are only bad. But Jean Decety and his partners at the University of Chicago did an experiment. It showed that rats are kind, warm-hearted animals. They can feel each other’s pain.
Scientists placed pairs of rats in plastic cages(笼子) for two weeks. During this time they got to know each other. Then they put one of the rats from each pair into a small container(容器) in the cages. The small container had a door. It was so designed as to fall to the side when the free rat touched it. Many of the trapped(困住的) rats squeaked(吱吱叫) to show their discomfort. The other rats of the pairs could see their suffering(受苦的) friends clearly.
In most pairs, the free rats would become very worried about their friends. They kept trying to save their friends again and again throughout the month. Scientists put the rats’ favorite chocolate in the cages, but the rats didn’t eat it until they had saved their friends successfully. Scientists also found that female rats seemed to act more empathetic than male rats.
“The results are the first to show that rats take action in response to another’s trouble,” Decety said. “Monkeys and chimpanzees have similar behavior. But unlike those animals, rats can be ready used in laboratory studies. They will help us to learn which parts of the brain lead to empathy and helping behavior and whether empathy is natural.”
小题1:A person with empathy is often _____.
A.kind-hearted | B.clever | C.active | D.strong |
A.Because they were not hungry at that time. |
B.Because chocolate was not their favorite food. |
C.Because they wanted to save the trapped rats first. |
D.Because they were afraid that the chocolate was bad. |
A.Monkeys. | B.Chimpanzees. | C.Rats. | D.Cats. |
A.Rats can feel other animals’ pain. |
B.Chocolate is rats’ favorite food. |
C.Rats are empathetic and can feel each other’s pain. |
D.Female rats are more empathetic than male rats. |
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of them take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
小题1:People with little education usually ____.
A.spend a long time in school |
B.have a good chance to get a job |
C.spend the best years to choose jobs |
D.have fewer chances to get a good job |
A.make a man lead a better life |
B.teach a man to write and think |
C.make people get a way of living |
D.teach people to read good books |
A.accept education as a way of living |
B.take an interest in the whole world |
C.develop their abilities to make plays |
D.learn subjects like language and math |
One example is the work of two scientists at Columbia University in New York, Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel. A scientist of Zimbabwe(津巴布韦), Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that when El Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor. The last El Nino was in 1991 to 1993. That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.
The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication(出版物)Nature. Their computer program can tell when an El Nino will develop up to a year before it does. They suggest that this could provide an effective early warning system for southern Africa, and could prevent many people from starving.
小题1:El Nino is known as ___.
A.the changing of the weather in southern Africa |
B.the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean |
C.the weather which brings drought(旱灾)to Africa |
D.the weather phenomenon(现象)that brings heavy rains to Africa |
A.they can provide a kind of early warning to the place that will suffer from drought |
B.they can tell why Zimbabwe has little or no rain |
C.they can do some research work in this field. |
D.they can put all this information into their computers. |
A.Scientists come to understand how El Nino appears. |
B.Three scientists from the USA work on this subject. |
C.Southern Africa suffered a serious drought and many people died from hunger. |
D.El Nino has something to do with Zimbabwe’s poor crops. |
A.The computer is used in this research work. |
B.Scientists know when an El Nino appears by means of the computer program. |
C.The scientists published their results of the research work. |
D.Nature is the name of the article written recently by the scientists. |
A.Appearance of El Nino is Predictable(可预测的) |
B.Drought in Zimbabwe |
C.Early Warning System |
D.Weather in Africa |
Does this affect intelligence? In traditional education, intelligence is measured by cognitive ability. Some people can easily produce everything they know on a test. But others are awarded with poor grades and considered inferior (not as good as). But does this inability make them any less intelligent? If the question came up on a task, they could refer to a book or a quick Google search. In reality they’re just as effective as the people that ace a test. They just can’t prove it as easily.
Metacognition is more important to success than cognition. A person with poor cognitive ability, but great metacognitive ability might do poorly in school, but when faced with a challenge, they understand their abilities and take the best course of action. For example, when faced with a question, a person with strong metacognitive ability will deal with it like this. If he knows the answer, but can’t come up with it, he can always do a bit of research. If he knows for sure that he doesn’t know, then he can start educating himself. Because he’s aware of his ignorance, he doesn’t act with foolish confidence. These people might not seem intelligent at first glance, but because they know what they know, they make better decisions and learn the most important things.
However, people with great cognitive ability but poor metacognitive ability may be considered excellent at a young age for acing every test and getting great SAT scores. Unfortunately, they’ve been ruined by poor metacognition they think they know everything but they really don’t. They are arrogant (overconfident), fail to learn from mistakes, and don’t understand the slight differences of personal relationships, showing disregard for persons with lower cognitive ability. They may make the worst decisions.
The most important mental power is the ability to know what you don’t know .The recognition of a fault is the first step to improvement. Don’t try to hide a lack of knowledge. For intelligent people this is the toughest lesson to learn.
小题1:People with great cognitive ability tend to ______________.
A.do well in tests |
B.be considered inferior |
C.be more effective than others |
D.do research when faced with a task |
A.starting educating himself |
B.taking action during the course |
C.making the right decision |
D.coming up with many ideas |
A.lack basic moral values |
B.have improper self evaluation |
C.fail to communicate with others |
D.show little respect for others |
A.intelligence is measured by cognitive ability |
B.cognition is the most important mental power |
C.the toughest lesson is to distinguish the two types of cognition |
D.the awareness of one’s ignorance contributes to one’s improvement |
