Catherine is smart and interesting. But I avoid her because she never 31 complaining(抱怨)! For years, I fought against my feelings,
10、 because I really like and admire her, but Ive found I just cant be her friend. Her world is full of “buts”. The trip was nice, but the drive was too long. The food was good, but the light of the restaurant was too 32 . The hotel was too hot, the bed hurt her back and the room service was too slow.
11、Her complaints were 33 changing me. Months ago, my best friend Daisy was listening to me complaining about Catherine until she just became really angry. “ 34 break up with her, or leave me alone.” She shouted at me, “Im tired of 35 your complaining.” Her honesty(直言) surprised me, and I began to keep
12、 myself away from Catherine. Later, I did 36 her.Now I try to keep happy and positive(积极的) about life, and find friends of the same. A scientific study shows that people who find 37 to be thankful for their life are actually happier, and I believe that is true. Complaining seems to control your life
13、 if you let it come into your brain. And too much complaining will actually make your life 38 .Some people hold thanks in heart every day, and they 39 their life in a positive way. By being thankful, you can be away from the troubles, and 40 what makes you happy. Then you will have a beautiful life.

The new studies could lead to easier high-quality (高质量的) recycling, and help deal with toxic (有毒的) pla
16、stic pollution.The world is being covered by plastic, but only about 9% of plastic products are ever recycled. Every year, over 7.72 trillion kilograms of plastic finds its way into the worlds oceans. But bacteria (细菌) may help recycle, even when humans dont.Bacteria are small living thingsso small
17、that we need a microscope (显微镜) to see them. Bacteria feed themselves in many different ways. Some bacteria can “eat” other things by changing the chemicals ( 化学物质) in those things into something that will help the bacteria grow.The secret to this is enzymes (酶). Bacteria use enzymes to cause chemic
18、al changes. Enzymes can work like a pair of scissors, cutting and breaking apart other materials.Most people know PET plastic. It is used in water and soda bottles. About 63.5 billion kilograms of PET plastic is produced every year. Most PET is thrown away, but even when it is recycled, it cant be m
19、ade into new bottles. Usually its turned into products like carpets (地毯).In 2012, in the decaying (腐烂的) leaves, scientists discovered an enzyme called LCC that slowly breaks apart PET plastics. Years later, scientists working at the French company Carbios chose LCC from nearly 100,000 enzymes. It wa
20、s the best at breaking down PET.But the scientists wanted to improve LCCThey studied the enzyme and the way it attacked the PET. By testing thousands of small changes to the enzyme, they came up with a new kind of LCCThe new kind can be alive at higher temperatures and can eat through PET very quick
21、ly.The process turns the PET plastic back into the materials that it was made from.Those materials can then be used again to make new bottles or other products.The researchers compared their new LCC with the old enzyme, and were satisfied with the results. When the environment was just right, the ne
22、w LCC was able to break up 90% of the PET in just ten hours. The old enzyme took about 20 hours and only broke up half of the PET.41How much PET plastic is produced every year?_AAbout 7.72 trillion kilograms.BAbout 63.5 billion kilograms.CAbout 100 thousand kilograms.DAbout 2 hundred kilograms.42Wha
23、t do you know about the bacteria from the passage?_ABacteria can be seen with our eyes.BBacteria can break down other materials directly.CBacteria use enzymes to create physical changes in things.DBacteria are small living things that feed on unusual forms of “food”.43According to the passage, what
24、is the relationship between PET plastic and LCC?_AThe earliest LCC couldnt break down PET plastic.BLCC can help stop PET plastic from breaking down.CPET plastic can now be recycled faster because of a new kind of LCCDThe used PET plastic will become another kind of pollution because of LCC44Which of

26、ducation prepares kids to have a meaningful career （职业）in a field they enjoy. So thinking and learning about career choices before high school is always a good idea. But when should kids begin career education?When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A teacher? A doctor? Or a b
27、aseball player? Preschool-aged children naturally think about their future careers. By imagining, exploring and role-playing, kids are likely to choose careers that interest them. Encouraging this career role-playing is healthy and can be quite telling; kids often clearly prefer either left-brained
28、or right-brained roles.At some point beyond the role-playing stage, students should be shown to a more serious career education curriculum （课程）. You may think that career education isnt all that necessary until kids finish high school, because thats when theyre usually expected to get a job or choos

Experts （专家）disagree.“The influence of early involvement can have a hugely good effect on wider academic （学术的）achievements, helping both children and their families to see a future which is achievable. writes Robert Halfon, chair of the Education Select Committee in t
30、he UK.Many experts accept the idea that career education should begin at a young age. They suggest career education in school should progress as follows: Kids in primary school should learn about why people work.Kids in early middle school should learn about the importance of a career in earning mon

32、 dream career.Starting career education early prepares students for the real world by making the connection between what theyre learning in school and why theyre learning it. For example, if a child wants to build tall buildings and knows that math skills are necessary in such a career, the child wi
33、ll be more likely to study, rather than hate, math.Career education opens kids minds to all that is possible. And, at the end of the day, isnt that what parents and teachers want for their kids and students?45What can we learn from Paragraph 2?_AKids feel confident about choosing their careers.BIts

And every so often, we try to stop this endless flow of thoughts b
38、y telling ourselves to just stop thinking. But do we or can we ever really stop thinking? It depends on your definition（定义）of thinking, according to Michael Halassa, a researcher at MIT, the US. We basically go through each day in one of the two stateswe either realize that were thinking or we dont.
39、 Our brains wont stop thinking completely until we die.The brain never stops thinking in a sense. Most thoughts are actually in the background without us noticing them and theres not really a way to turn these things. Halassa said.You can compare this to how a computer works. When you arent using yo
40、ur computer while its turned on, it is still running operations in the background. Your computer, much like your brain, is always thinking”, even if youre not actively using it.If you see a familiar face in a crowd and think you know them, you might not be able to come up with how you know them righ
41、t away, Halassa said. But maybe hours later, youll suddenly remember. Thats a result of your brain thinking in the background. We even make decisions mostly unconsciously or without realizing them. For example, some of this background thinking results in what we call a gut feeling（直觉） . During our b
42、rains decision-making process, sometimes we create a story to explain the decisionsometimes its accurate（精确的）, sometimes its not.Even sitting here reading this, thinking about thinking is sending messages across a chain of neurons（神经元）in the brain. So if we somehow manage to stop ourselves from thin

Maybe you try to focus, but you feel overwhelmed （难以应付的）.Finding control comes down to one simple strategy （策略）:developing a habit of being organized. This means youve got to think ahead. When you can get organized, keep things under control, and live a tidy life, you can work faster and think more creatively.
