10、列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。21（6分）In his book The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference, the Canadian author Malcolm Gladwell explains how a trend can take many forms. It can be a general change in social behaviour, an idea or a fashion. However, why do some trends catch on an

11、d others not? What makes one particular brand of training shoes suddenly become the must-have product? How do people find out about trends and what makes people want to buy into them? Is it simply a question of keeping up with other people?In his new work, Gladwell explore the moment when something

12、becomes common and how products, ideas, messages and forms of behaviour spread. He looks at the reasons why trends are similar in the way they develop to outbreaks of disease, or medical epidemics （流行病）.Epidemics, like trends, start in a very small way, maybe from a single person with a virus then s

13、pread very quickly until they take over the population and appear to be everywhere. Eventually, they will slow down gradually or die out suddenly. Gladwell shows how these changes happen not gradually but at one sudden moment.Gladwell identifies three types of people who are influential in the devel

The people they know often come from a variety of social, cultural, professional and economic circles.Mavens are people w

15、ith a lot of knowledge or experts in a particular field. They wish to pass on their knowledge to others. Mavens collect and gather information so are the first to pick up on new trends.Salesmen are people with charisma（魅力）. They have a “soft” influence over people rather than actual power. This mean

16、s they are influential because people want to imitate them.Overall, Gladwells book is a thought-provoking（引人深思的）read for anyone interested in the origins of trends.

26、 Pig Removing a Couples Disagreement23（8分）Grasse has always been associated with smell. In the Middle Ages it smelt particularly unpleasant due to its leather tanning (制革) industry. The nobles only rarely visited the pretty and charming town to pick up their handmade leather gloves. In spite of thei

27、r grand lands in the surrounding countryside? Grasse was certainly a necessary evil with no self-respecting nobles owning buildings there.Molinard, a Grasse tanner (制革工人) himself, created the first Grasse perfume. Word spread like wildfire amongst the nobles about the designer perfumed gloves. Molin

28、ard offered a pair of his gloves to Catherine de Medici (the Queen), who gave plenty of praise to her Grasse perfumed gloves; she almost assured (确保) Grasses reputation as the perfume capital of the world. Thanks to Catherine de Medici, Grasse merchants were encouraged to grow the perfume plants tha

29、t tanners needed to supply perfumed leather to the nobles.Grasse has four perfume factories as well as a perfume school and a perfume museum.

I was completely shocked by what I was learning: praise is not good for our kids. How cou

36、ld that be? So I spent years talking with experts, reading about the effects of praise, and finally decided to close the door on praise and focus on building an encouraging family.Even today, with many studies available to parents, I still hear people say, “How can that be? How can saying Good job o

37、r Youre smart be bad?” I understand. It can be a difficult habit to break.If we tell a boy “You are so smart!” when he brings home an A in his math test, how does he feel when he comes home with a D? If weve told him that he is smart, then he will more likely feel a failure when he struggles with ho

38、mework “Im supposed to be smart. Why cant I do this?”Praise trains children to depend on constant feedback on what a “great job” they are doing. This dependency shatters rather than builds childrens confidence. Praise trains children to ask, “Do you like it?” “Did I do a good job?” “Are you proud of

39、 me?” They begin to believe that what others think is more important than what they think about their achievements and mistakes.Praise breaks the relationship between parents and children. Without even realizing it, parents may be using praise as a tool to direct the childs behavior. The message is

40、clear I approve of you when you and I do not approve of you when you Living with this kind of constant judgment can damage not only the childs confidence but also the relationship.The solution to the problem of praise is encouragement. Encouragement can be given at any time, to anyone, in any situat

41、ion. It is a comment, an acknowledgment, a statement that focuses on effort, improvement or choice. Hearing “You are so smart!” can leave a child at a loss when they dont do well in a test. Using “That took a lot of work to come home with an A in your test ” gives a child the chance to be something

42、else.1、What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?AMany parents cant get on well with their children.BThe author never shows any approval to his children.CIts hard for many parents to believe praise is harmful.DThe author spent 25 years changing peoples opinion on praise.2、According to the p

44、 artist I have ever seen.CYou have a problem and you have to fix it.DYou didnt think you could finish in time, but you did.25（10分）Conventional wisdom says that hardship can make us old before our time. In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on childrens bodies, b

45、ut also changes their DNA, causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging.Scientists measured this by studying the ends of childrens chromosomes (染色体）, called telomeres(端粒), says Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in Molecular Psychiatry.Telomeres are special DNA

46、sequences (序列）which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies.Several factors have been found to shorten telomeres, including smoking, radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when y

47、oung and taking care of a chronically ill person.In this study, researchers examined whether exposure to violence could make childrens telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of 236 children 3t ages 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her partner; physical maltreatment by an adult; or bullying.
