My students were taking a midterm examination when my phone erupted with an urgent message. “A student is having a panic attack，” texted a teaching assistant. I ran out of my office， ran down a flight of stairs and found the student—a pupil in my 350?person organic chemistry class—lying motionless on the ground outside the exam hall. “Did my exam really trigger a panic attack？” I asked myself. “Why am I not prepared for a situation like this？”

It was the first time that I had taught the course. But I knew that the subject was challenging for my students. This was a source of stress for premed （醫学预科的） students in particular， who feared that a low grade in organic chemistry would keep them from getting into medical schools.

The following day， I was scheduled to deliver a lecture to the same class. I knew that I had to address what had happened during the midterm exam. So， I started by saying， “I want to take some time today to talk about something important. How many of you think that this is a weed?out （淘汰的） course？” Half of my students raised their hands carefully. “Im sorry to hear that，” I continued. “I want you all to know that I do not consider any of you to be weeds; you all deserve to be here.”

I flashed a slide of flowers in various shapes. I smiled at my students and said， “I think of you as flowers—different flowers with different needs. You may not bloom at the same time， but you will bloom！ You may not do well in a midterm exam， but you will learn from your mistakes and do better in the final exam. I believe this. I believe in you.”

From that point on， my office hours were packed. Some asked about lecture topics and study strategies; others opened up about personal issues. I was amazed that a simple， frank discussion in a lecture could make such a difference.

4. What made the pupil suffer a panic attack？

A. Hidden personal issues. B. The stress caused by grades.

C. Lacking study strategies. D. The heavy work of research.

5. What does the underlined word “trigger” in the first paragraph most probably mean？

A. Cure. B. Prevent. C. Frighten. D. Cause.

6. Why did the author go to the same class the next day？

A. To give the lesson according to the arrangement.

B. To apologize and explain to his premed students.

C. To give a speech on what happened in the test.

D. To persuade all the students to stay in the class.

7. Where can you find the authors encouragement to students？

A. In paragraph 1. B. In paragraph 2.

C. In paragraph 4. D. In paragraph 5.

Research among 2，000 adults showed that about four out of five find small talk with colleagues in the office annoying， especially if it involves football or children. Talking about the weather， or asking someone how their weekend was， was also listed among annoying subjects， according to the study by Hyper Recruitment Solutions.

Most of those surveyed said they had experienced rudeness at work， including being reprimanded （训斥） in front of colleagues or personal remarks about their clothes or possessions.

Half of those asked admitted to avoiding making coffee for themselves at work so they didnt have to make one for colleagues. A report said， “While employees are direct on some issues， theyd rather avoid the situation completely than feel it is a duty to make coffee for others.”

The report also suggested most employees found that physical contact in the workplace was acceptable， including a kiss on the cheek， high fives or hugs. Ricky Martin， founder of Hyper Recruitment Solutions， said， “We often hear and read in the media how physical contact at work isnt acceptable， yet the results suggest otherwise. Of course， physical contact isnt always appropriate or well received， so I would advise it should be essential to be aware of factors such as personality， religion and culture.”

What might be regarded as friendly in one culture may be considered as deeply offensive in another. However， as the results suggest， should the relationship be there and requited （回报）， it shouldnt be frowned upon （反对） for colleagues to hug， give high fives or give one another a pat on the back.

8. Among 2，000 adults， how many are unwilling to make small talk？

A. About 1，600. B. About 2，000.

C. About half of them. D. About one third of them.

9. Which may be a reason why people avoid making coffee in the office？

A. They find it is meaningless.

B. They are not warm?hearted enough.

C. They have some unpleasant experiences.

D. They want to defend themselves from any risk.

10. What can we infer from the report mentioned in the text？

A. It shows people are always straightforward.

B. It indicates peoples rude behavior in the office.

C. It suggests peoples relationship always gets no return.

D. It shows physical contact isnt always favorable.

11. What should we do with the relationship in the office？

A. Continue to avoid it.

B. Hug the colleagues.

C. Accept it regardless of the results.

D. Learn to accept it light?heartedly.

D

A new device works like a solar panel， except it doesnt harvest energy from the sun. It captures energy from the cold night sky.

A prototype （雏形） of the device produced enough electricity at night to power a small light bulb. A bigger version might one day light rooms or charge phones. It also could power the electronics in remote or low?resource areas that lack electricity.

The device makes use of the temperature difference between Earth and outer space. It then uses that difference to create electricity. As long as one side of it is cooler than the other， the generator （發电机） can produce electricity. The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an aluminium plate. That plate is sealed beneath a transparent cover and surrounded with insulation （隔热材料） to keep out heat. The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminium plate. That plate is warmed by the local air. At night， the top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius cooler than the bottom of the generator.

Researchers tested a 20?centimeter prototype in Stanford， California at a clear December night. The generator produced up to about 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of a device. That was enough power to light a small light?emitting diode， or LED bulb. Further improvement might increase its production to at least 500 milliwatts per square meter. To do that， the system might need more insulation around the cool top plate.

The device also could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devices， says Aaswath Raman. He is a materials scientist who worked on the device at the University of California， Los Angeles. “This may be useful in polar regions that dont see sunlight for months at a time，” Raman says. “If you have some low?power loads and you need to power them through three months of darkness， this might be a way.”

12. What do we know about the new device？

A. It gains energy from the sun.

B. Its been widely used in life.

C. It is cooler than a solar panel.

D. It might be popular in special areas.

13. What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 3？

A. Application fields of the device.

B. Significant effects of the device.

C. The working principle of the device.

D. The developing process of the device.

14. How can the device produce more electricity？

A. By putting more insulation around the cool top plate.

B. By covering the top plate with a transparent lid.

C. By using it on extremely cold and clear nights.

D. By attaching the bottom plate to a warm plate.

15. What can be the best title for the text？

A. A device using the cold night sky to produce electricity

B. A device bringing new hope to people on the cold night

C. The difference between a solar panel and a new device

D. The temperature difference between Earth and outer space

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Giving generously and receiving gratefully make it easier to live happily with others.16

Let me start with the idea of giving generously.17For example， my husband and I have family members who only contact us when they need money. We usually accept their requests， but we rarely receive a “thank you”. Most people would say that my husband and I are being used， and I suppose we are. But when we give， we shouldnt be giving for the purpose of getting gratitude or praise. Rather， we should be giving because it is a good thing.

The good news is that when we lead our life being nice to others， our life runs more smoothly.18But if you practise being generous， most of your relationships will improve.

At the same time， we should remember to receive gratefully. I truly believe that you cant say “thank you” enough when you receive.

19Parents can feel unappreciated by their children， and teachers can feel unappreciated by their students. Do you think it unnecessary to thank them when receiving just because a task is part of someones job description？ Thats wrong！

20It is good for us to say “thank you” because we regularly need to remind ourselves how lucky we are. And hearing those two words can make us feel great for days.

If you are looking for a way to improve your life， I can give you one： Give generously and receive gratefully.

A. So often we get lazy about expressing gratitude.

B. Thus， saying “thank you” can bring us good luck.

C. If you are generous， some people will use you.

D. In return， we are to help others by giving them our time or money.

E. I think people are unwilling to be generous to others for fear of being used.

F. Yet， why do we have such difficulty achieving these things in our relationships？

G. Words of appreciation make others feel good about themselves like nothing else.

Early last December， nearly a year after my father died from a failing heart， I got a call saying， “You have a package.” I went downstairs to pick it up. The brown box had a FedEx label with a35address in Texas.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

A young woman was waiting for her flight at an airport. She was leaving for London because she got a new job there. It was said that her new boss was a typical English gentle?man—polite， modest， humorous and considerate. She was excited as well as a little nervous about her new life.

With several long hours before her flight， the woman hunted for a book in the airport shops， bought a packet of cookies and found a place to sit. She took out the book and started to read. Although she was absorbed in her book， she happened to see that the man sitting beside her， as bold （大胆的） as he could be， grabbed a cookie or two from the bag between them. Educated to be well?mannered， she tried to ignore it to avoid an argument. But to show that she was the owner， she started to take cookies from that bag too. Unfortunately， the man didnt get that hint （暗示）， since he didnt stop grabbing the cookies.

“How annoying！” she thought. As the greedy cookie thief kept eating， the woman munched （用力咀嚼） some cookies and watched the clock.

She was getting angrier as the minutes went by， thinking， “If I werent so nice， I would blacken his eyes.” With each cookie she took， he took one， too; when only one was left， she wondered what he would do.

With a smile on his face， and a nervous laugh， he took the last cookie and broke it in half. He offered her a half， and ate the other. She grabbed it from him， glared at him and thought， “Oh， brother. This guy has some nerve and he is so rude！ Why didnt he even show any gratitude？”

She had never known when she had been so angry， and sighed with relief when her flight was called. She gathered her belongings and headed for the gate quickly， refusing to look back at the rude thief. She boarded the plane， sank in her seat， and looked for her book， which was almost complete.
