They knew that many applesbeing31to kids as part of the National School Lunch Program were ending up in the trash,
15、almost untouched.But unlike others, they32if the reason was more complicated (复杂的) than simply that the kids didnt wantthe fruit. They thought that was because the apples were served33, rather than sliced (切成片的). And theywanted to34this idea.They carried out a study at eight schools and found that f
16、ruit consumption(消耗)35by more than 60percent when apples were served sliced. They36made a further study at six other schools, which not onlyshowed the same result, but further37it. Both the overall apple consumption and the percentage of studentswho ate more than half of the apple were more than 70
17、percent higher.Based on these38 , it seems that even the simplest forms of inconvenience(不便)can influence us. Slicedapples just make more sense for kids.

21、 my work life, but not in my personal life. However, its OK in my country. We,Brazilians, are always late. For example, if the party is at eight, someone shows up at ten and everyone,including the host, is OK with that.Lisa, BrazilOf course! My friends and I all believe that showing up late for an a
22、ppointment (约会) or a class is aninsult (冒犯) to the person(s) we are meeting. It seems to say, “My time is more important than yours.”Vera, SwitzerlandPeople around me are always punctual. For me, not only am I punctual, but I am always early for mostevents in my life. The secret is (and it really wo

Theresults suggest that any t
27、ask that relies on verbal (与文字有关的) creativity was weakened when listening to anytype of music.Subjects (受试者) in the project all spoke English as their first language, and had no problem in their sight orhearing.The tasks were simple word games.

28、ress, shine, and第 5 页 共 8 页flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word which could be connected with all three to form a commonphrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunflower, etc).Subjects completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while they were play
29、ed background music with foreignlyrics (歌词), English lyrics, and instrumental music with no lyrics at all.The research team also tested the library background noises, but found that such noises had no great differencein subjects creativity. The studys authors believe that was the case because librar
30、y noise is a “steady state”environment which is not as disruptive (扰乱的).

34、 memory of the disabled.CJeremiah hurried into the kitchen and washed his hands. He had just one hour until his father got home. Hewasnt used to starting dinner this early. On his nights to cook, Jeremiah generally got dinner ready in fifteenminutes. But Dad always praised Jeremiahs meals, no matter
35、 how simple they were. “Delicious!” he would say.But Jeremiah knew Dad liked more complicated dishes, because on Dads nights to cook, he used aton of ingredients(原料). Dad was a natural cook. Not Jeremiahat least, not until tonight.It was Dads birthday, and for once in his life, Jeremiah was cooking
36、something complicated:spaghetti(意大利面条) with homemade sauce. Hed eaten it a million times, so he knew most ofthe ingredients. Tomatoes, onions, garlic, beef, he thought, looking through the fridge. They hadeverything except the beef. No problem theyd go vegetarian tonight.Jeremiah cut up the vegetabl
37、es with Dads special knife and put them into the pot. Then heturned to Dads spice(香料)collection. He picked a few familiar ones and put them in. Thepleasing smell of fresh tomatoes amazed him. He tasted it just as Dad usually did. It was terrible!Way too spicy. Aha! A lime would cool things down. He
38、added in as much lime juice as he could.One more taste. Ugh. It was awful! Now the sauce was sour and spicy.He left the kitchen and went into his room.

40、lsa(萨尔萨辣酱)is a meal in itself!第 6 页 共 8 页47. Why did Jeremiah decide to cook something complicated?A. Because he arrived home early.B. Because his dad told him to do so.C.

42、e a question for all of us. Is all winning success? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share myviews on what a real success is.All around the world, we have created the win-at-all-cost cultures. As a society, we honor the champions. Wecheer for those people who win championships, electi
43、ons and awards. Winning at all costs has become acceptable.We have become so focused on that end result instead of the process, and particularly when the end result is a win,usually how we got there often gets swept under the proverbial rug.We need to redefine (重新定义) success. Real success is develop
44、ing champions in life for our world, win orlose.

45、king and mean. I acted like a head coachwhose only thought was to figure out how to win.After putting up with me for a few years, our team asked me for a team meeting. And for over two hours, theygave me examples of how my arrogance (傲慢) was hurtful. That was my time-out, and I chose to change. Irea
46、lized that I needed to support our student athletes as whole human beings, not just athletes who won.It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to motivate (激励) someone to be better.Andthe motivation takes a really long time to take root. The key ingredient was to develop tr
47、ust through patience andhonesty.Lets think about what you are talking with your parents on the car ride home. Are they focusing on the endresult? Are you excited to use that time to show you are a winner? All of you care too much about the end resultinstead of your steps of learning.We are all coach
48、es in some ways. We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world.That is what real success looks like, and that is what we call a win-win.50. The underlined phrase “gets swept under the proverbial rug” probably means “_”.A. catches little attentionB. does some harmC. shows
49、the resultD. decides the success51.
