Recently, as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his school team, I was feeling sorry for myself and for him. His team was facing adversity(困境) on the court, trailing for three quarters of the game. As for me, I had just been dismissed from my job.

As I watched what my son was experiencing, I recalled the events earlier in the day—packing up everything in a box and saying goodbye to my colleagues. During the drive home, I kept telling myself that I will find work again—I am confident in my experience and abilities, but self-doubt was still sticking its foot in the door.

The game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still trailing. I saw the determination on his back to not only tie the game, but then go ahead by three points. Then, a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again. With a tie game and seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence, he made the basket with a defender hanging all over him. The other player was called for a foul(犯规).

As Nathan stood preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points, I saw the focus and determination on his face, with no room for self-doubt. After he made the free throw, his team managed to stop the other team from scoring, winning the game and moving on to the finals.

As I sat there, my heart bursting with pride, it dawned on me. I had taught him perseverance(毅力) in the face of adversity, and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court. He will play in the finals, but it doesn’t matter if he wins or loses. At this moment, we both won.

B.I had once taught my son face to face that we should never give up.

C.It was my encouragement and help that made my son win the game.

Being in the midst of a pandemic lockdown can make people feel worried. But nothing has shown this panicky behavior more than storing specifically toilet paper.

Seemingly transcending borders and cultures, people from all over the world, including the US, UK and Japan, have been clearing supermarket shelves mainly for this necessity. But what’s the reason for this sudden toilet paper storing? You can understand panic buying food, but do we really need that much toilet paper?

Steven Taylor, author of the book The Psychology of Pandemics, told the Independent that our toilet paper storing is a product of our disgust. During a pandemic, people’s sensitivity to disgust increases, like when you move aside if someone nearby sneezes.

“Disgust is like an alarm … and what better tool for removing disgusting material than toilet paper. I think this is how it became a conditioned symbol of safety,” he said.

Writing for The Conversation, Niki Edwards of The Queensland University of Technology said, “When people hear about the novel coronavirus, they are afraid of losing control. And toilet paper feels like a way to maintain control over health and cleanliness.”

Another one of the most important reasons behind this toilet paper trend, according to the BBC, is the snowball effect. Due to its reports, both in the news and social media, people naturally ask, “Will there be enough toilet paper for my family and me?” This leads to more people following the crowd and buying toilet paper because of their fear of missing out.

“Fear spreads easily. So when you see people around you buying things in a panicky way, it’s going to make you feel more anxious,” wrote American psychologist Baruch Fischhoff for CNBC.

While there are, of course, selfish people who store just because they can, it’s worth keeping things in perspective. Remember, just as countries are cooperating to find a vaccine, we must cooperate to ensure that everyone has their share of necessities.

1.The underlined word “transcending” in the second paragraph probably means “____”.

A.going beyond B.connecting with

C.getting an understanding of D.making good use of

2.According to Dr Steven Taylor, what does this toilet paper trend result from?

A.The desire to get rid of disgusting material. B.The fear of losing control over cleanliness.

C.The frequent reporting on toilet paper. D.The selfish side of human nature.

3.Whose words are quoted to explain “the snowball effect”?

A.Steven Taylor’s B.Niki Edwards’

C.Baruch Fischhoff ‘s D.The author’s

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?

A.To explore the bad effects of the toilet paper trend.

B.To explain why people tend to store pile toilet paper.

C.To criticize those people who store toilet paper.

D.To discuss people’s different attitudes toward the toilet paper trend.

5.Which of the following statement do you think the author will probably NOT agree with?

A.The toilet paper storing can relieve people’s anxiety.

B.It’s selfish of those to store too much toilet paper than they need.

C.Panic buying is quite understandable.

D.It’s better for us to stay calm and reasonable so as not to follow the toilet paper trend.

You can relax if remembering everything isn't your strong suit. Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strength—in fact, selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.

Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything. But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers found that the neurobiology of forgetting can be just as important to our decision-making as what our minds choose to remember.

Making intelligent decisions doesn't mean you need to have all the information at hand.　　 It just means　 you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in your　　 memory palace for the most up-to-date information on clients and situations. Our brains do this by　　 creating new neurons(神经元）in our　 hippocampus, which have the power to overwrite(重写)existing memories that are influencing our decision-making.

If you want to increase the number of new neurons in our brain ’ s learning region，try exercising. Some aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking and swimming has been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.

When we forget the names of certain clients or details about old jobs，the brain is making a choice that these details don't matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern，the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The researchers found that our brains facilitate decision-making by stopping us from focusing too much on unimportant past details. Instead，the brain helps us remember the most important part of a conversation.

We can get blamed for being absent-minded when we forget past events in perfect detail. These findings show us that total recall(记忆）can be overvalued. Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.

1.How can we help our brains produce more neurons?　　 '

A. By having deep sleep frequently.

B. By practicing swimming regularly.

C. By doing mental labor repeatedly.

D. By learning new skills constantly.

2.Which of the following can best replace “facilitate” underlined in paragraph 5?

A. postpone B. repeat

C. promote D. abuse

3.What conclusion can be drawn from the text?

A. Memory loss is well worth noticing.

B. Decisions can’t be made without memories.

C. We shouldn't stress total recall too much.

D. Forgetting is even more important than remembering.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Caution：do remember to forget

B. Why and how people choose to forget

C. Want to become smarter? Learn to forget

D. Being forgetful might mean you are　　 smarter

It’s not easy being a teenager---nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.

Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems，such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist，the more likely that he’ll calm up. Instead, let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy(隐私). Never read his mail or listen to personal conversations.

Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for l5 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least all equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation(节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.

1.The main purpose of the text is to tell parents_________.

A. how to get along with a teenager

B. how to help a teenager grow up

C. how to understand a teenager

D. how to respect a teenager

2. What does the phrase "calm up" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. refuse to talk　　 B. show respect

C. become excited　　 D. seek help

3.The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenager______.

A. to share the phone with friends

B. to pay for his own telephone

C. to use the phone in a sensible way

D. to answer the phone quickly

4.What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text?

A. Not allow him to learn driving or take drugs.

B. Not talk about personal things with him.

C. Let him have his own telephone.

D. Give him advice only when necessary.
