B One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up an
25、d down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family, “ he wrote.“ He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and Im very worried about him. Can you help?“ I looked at David and showed him to a chai
26、r. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesnt have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically. The first two times we met, David didnt say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the childrens d
27、rawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me. Its not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice. Usually, he arrived earlier than
28、 agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me? “Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with, “ I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect hi
29、s suffering.“ Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly. “Its your turn, “ he said. After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get int
30、o university. Now he had really started to live his own life. Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one-without any words-can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens. 34. When he first met the author, David .
31、 A. looked a little nervous B. walked energetically C. felt a little excited D. showed up with his teacher 35.David enjoyed being with the author because he . A. wanted to ask the author for advice B. liked the childrens drawings in the office C. need to share sorrow with the author D. beat the auth
32、or many times in the chess game 36. What can be inferred about David? A. He liked biking before he lost his family. B. He recovered after months of treatment. C. He went into university soon after starting to talk. D. He got friends in school before he met the author. 37. What made David change? A.
33、His teachers help. B. The authors friendship. C. His exchange of letters with the author. D. The authors silent communication with him. C A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of ne
34、w high-tech systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks. “Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sun of a bunch of indi
35、vidual components (元件) , “said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago. his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none o
36、f those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own, “ he said. They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which
37、 individually has to perform well. but then has to be matched well to everything its connected to, “ said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can
38、be built and manufactured. While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should
39、 be able to take off, land and fly around, “ he said. Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer op
40、en scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead, “ he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day-to-day basis.“ 38. The difficulty the
41、 team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that . A. they had no ready-made components B. they did not have sufficient time C. they had no model in their mind D. they could no assemble the components 39. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly . A. consists
42、of a flight device and a control system B. can collect information from many sources C. can just fly in limited areas at the present time D. has been put into wide application 40. Which of the following can be learned from the passage? A. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects. B. Wood
43、s design can replace animals in some experiments. C. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly. D. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments. 41. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. Father of Robotic Fly B. Inspiration from Engineering Science C. Harvar
44、d Breaks Through in Insect Study D. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect D The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not I.Q.，a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, its purposeful practice. Top performers spend more hours practising
45、 their craft. If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, youd take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldnt have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who
46、 coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or, shared the same birthday. This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would give her some idea of a fascinating circle she might someday join. It would als
47、o help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. Shed be able to see new
48、 writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings. Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused.By practising in this way, she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious, autom
49、atically performed skills. By practising slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback. viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problemshow do I get characters into a roomdozens and dozens of times. She
