Please!”“Well see.” Dad said. “Your birthday is only two weeks away. New toys like this can be hard to find sometimes.”“Hard to
19、find? But its on TV.”Dad laughed, “Thats what will make it difficult to find. Everyone will be looking to buy it.”“Everyone?” Toby thought. Well then, hed tell everyone that he wanted a Super Robot man. Someone would be able to find it then, right? Before bed, Toby called his grandparents and told t

25、udying our senses. From the connection between taste and smell, to the idea of “scent（气味）training”, theres so much more than we think to our sense of smell. Your sense of smell is largely responsible for your ability to taste food. “Flavor（味道）is really an experience that joins what happens on your t
26、ongue with smell,” says a professor at the University of York, UK. “When you put something in your mouth, the molecules（分子）go into your nose. Maybe your tongue can tell theres fat in that chocolate, and thats something the brain finds very satisfying, but the formal chocolate experience comes from a
27、ll the molecules going into your nose.” Women out-perform men when both groups are asked to tell a certain number of scents That holds true across all age groups. This is because women are better at noticing a smell and better at describing it with language. Research shows that when people were aske
28、d to memorize eight scents and were then given a scent test, the women were better able to tell whether or not a scent was one of the ones that had been memorized. Women were also better at recognizing the scents by name. Your eating habits may change because of the loss of smell“You think, I rememb
29、er how this tasted in the past. I guess they dont have the same tasty tomatoes or meat any more, ”says a researcher. “But in fact, its your sense of smell that may be working less.” Losing the sense of smell is likely age-related or caused by a cold. The loss of smell may even change peoples eating
30、habits. Some people will lose interest in eating or dont want to eat with their friends. Others will start eating lots of junk food, spices, salt, to try to make eating more enjoyable. Scent training might protect our sense of smellThe loss of smell is not the end of the world. Some research suggest
31、s that scent training might protect our sense of smell. By breathing in strong smells on purpose for several weeks, people become more sensitive（敏感的）to all scents and improve their ability to smell. Researchers found the MRI brain images of people undergoing scent training got thicker in the parts o

33、nse of smell from the passage?AScent training can help men smell more things.BWomen are more creative about naming scents.CWomen are better than men at recognizing scents.DBrain training can improve mens ability to smell.29Which would be the best title for this passage?AWhat you smell may not be rea
34、lBUnlock facts about the sense of smellCHow to develop a good sense of tasteDMore than you think to the sense of tasteIts certainly good to be nice. Whether its helping a friend with homework, watching their favorite shows even if theyre not your thing or giving up a little time and energy to do som
35、ething for a friend is a praiseworthy decision. Or, one might be the bigger person and agree to take the short end of the stick in an argument, all to satisfy others and avoid further problems. Still, we need to control our niceness: niceness is valuable, but its definitely not without downsides. To
36、 be clear. Im not advocating（倡导）for selfishness. In fact, Id encourage everyone to do small favors for the people they care about. Helping others makes us happy. It also gives us a greater sense of purpose and belonging, as we feel more connected to those we do favors for. The same goes for sacrific
37、ing （牺牲）a little on our part to end a disagreement, which might feel uncomfortable in the short term, but is in the end for the greater good. Yet, we need to be careful about where our niceness comes from. When our desire（渴望）to help others comes from a need to be seen as a good or friendly person, o
38、ur motivations （动机）become increasingly dangerous. For example, we might want others to relate to us, so we say that we like their favorite songs when we dont. Being agreeable all the time makes us become a product of the people around us instead of having our own special personality. Additionally, a
39、voiding unreasonable agreeability is even more important. We cant help offering to do too many favors because our desire to be seen as selfless and kind outweighs our worries for our own well-being. If you always support others emotionally, or help them with their studies, that habit might become pa
40、rt of how you view yourself. In other words, you see yourself as someone willing to lend a hand to others when they are in need. Agreeability crosses the experiences of all kinds of people, and it can be especially true within communities where selflessness is important. From my experience at Harvey
41、 Mudd College, students are known for caring for others-offering to help their classmates with their studies. This common view of peoples willingness to help can put stress on Mudders to sacrifice their energy, even if they dont have the skills to do so. Instead, they should remind themselves of the
42、ir responsibilities, and then decide if they have the ability to lend a hand. Finally, making kindness a habit is an honorable goal. But as with all things, moderation（适度）is key, and sometimes, sacrificing a little too much can cause more harm than good.30What does the underlined part “take the shor
43、t end of the stick” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?ASay sorry first.BHit the other person.CSuffer bad results.DMake up for mistakes.31Unreasonable agreeability may stop us from _.Aviewing ourselves properlyBhaving a sense of belongingCdeveloping social relationshipsDcaring about our own happiness32Why
44、 is “Harvey Mudd College” mentioned in the passage?ATo spread the spirit of selflessness within communities.BTo show an effect of widespread niceness in communities.CTo criticize the students who sacrifice too much for others.DTo explain responsibilities people should take within communities.33The w
45、riter probably agrees that _.Abeing nice can make people easily understood by othersBbeing selfless helps people improve their social skillsCpeople should think twice before saying “yes”Dpeople who help others are more popular四、阅读回答问题阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。Could what you believe about yourself have an effe
46、ct on your success or failure? According to Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck, your beliefs play a key role in what you want and whether you achieve it. Dweck has found that it is your mindset that plays an important role in deciding achievement and success. So, what exactly is a mindset? A mindset
47、is a set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation. According to Dweck, there are two basic mindsets: fixed and growth. If you have a fixed mindset, you believe your abilities are fixed and therefore cant be changed. You may also believe that your talent and intelligence（智商）alone le
