8、mportant task, schools across China are providing more classes and activities on self-knowledge.Liu Yue; a teacher from a Middle School, has recently given her students a useful tool. “Its called the Johari Window, developed by two US psychologists,” said Liu. “It has four areas about ones self: ope
9、n area, hidden area, blind spot and unknown area. Using this tool, students did a good job seeing themselves through a new lens (透镜).”“I really want to know more about my blind spot,” said Yang Manfei. “So I did a survey with my friends.” The results showed that she easily gets anxious and impatient
10、 because of procrastination (拖延). “Thats a bad habit Ive never realized!” Yang said. “I find the unknown area most amazing,” said Sun Boyin. “It means everyone has lots of potential.” When Sun entered middle school, he was not good at math. “But I set a goal and did lots of math exercises. Now Im mu
11、ch better at math. The unknown part of my math ability is getting clearer!” Sun said.When it came to the hidden area, most students kept silent. “Im scared to show my secrets deep down,” said Li Yixuan. “Then one classmate stood up and said his favorite cartoon is Tom and Jerry. I thought: Am I brav
12、e enough to show my childish hobby? Perhaps not. I want my classmates to see me as a mature (成熟的) person, not a silly kid. But then I realized that I dont find that classmate silly. I think he has the courage to be himself.”4What is the area that both you and people around you know about?AOpen area.

There has been a discussio
15、n about whether it is shi or si in the sentence “Thus when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man.” (“故天将降大任于是/斯人也”). Most people chose si as what they learned at school. However, Peoples Education Press, a leading publisher of Chinese textbooks, claimed on Oct 26 that all its textbooks
16、 say shi.Supporters of si feel shocked and say theyve experienced the “Mandela Effect” the situation in which a large number of people believe that an event occurred when it didnt. Many people believed that former South African president Nelson Mandel died in the1980s in prison. However, Mandela was
17、 alive and well, eventually passing away in 2013. US researcher Fiona Broome set up a website to explain her observation of this phenomenon first, coining the term.Some often joke that our memories have been changed by a strange force. In fact, psychologists have looked into the reasons for the Mand
18、ela Effect, as reported on the US-based website Verywell Mind. For example, your mind may fill in gaps missing in your memory to make more sense of it, which is called confabulation (虚构症). However, try not to feel bad this is not lying, but rather remembering details that never happened.The Internet
19、 may be another reason why we have Mandela Effect events, as the news we read can be false from the beginning. In 2018, Science journal published a study of over 100,000 news stories discussed across Twitter. It showed that false news can spread faster and reach more people than the truth. As a powe
20、rful way to spread information, the Internet might be the main reason for falsehoods to enter our minds.8Whats the authors purpose of telling the saying “Thus when Heaven is ”?ATo show our memories can be wrong.BTo provide solutions to the discussion.CTo raise readers interest in the discussion.DTo

22、andelas death.11What can be inferred from the last paragraph?AFalse news travels much faster than true stories.BThe Internet can also cause Mandela Effect events.CIt is harder than ever to read false news at present.DThe Internet can make false information avoidable.In English its common to say, “I
23、know this town like the back of my hand!” While we may know our towns really well, how well do we actually know our hands? Maybe not quite as well as we think, said a scientific study.Matthew Longo and his team from University College London studied the left hands of100 people. With their hands plac
24、ed palms down under a board, Longos team gave the instruction to point to their knuckles (关节) and fingertips with a marker. How did they do? Not that well.“People think their hand is wider than it actually is,” said Longo. He said they also seemed to think their fingers were shorter than their true
25、lengths. People were most accurate (准确的) when finding their thumbs, but became less accurate with each finger, up to their pinkies (小指).“It is connected to our sense of position,” explained Longo. Humans know where different parts of our bodies are, even if we cant see them. “It tells us whether a j
26、oint (关节) is straight or not,” said Longo. “We also need to know the distances between our joints,” he went on. Our brains know the sizes and shapes of our bodies from the maps they make for themselves. “This experiment tried to find those maps,” he said.Maybe maps dont need to be perfect. But why a
27、rent our brains more accurate? Longo said our brains “see” areas based on our sense of touch, with the stronger the sense of touch in a specific body part, the bigger that body part seems. An example is our lips. As they have more nerves (神经) than our noses, our brains map shows our lips are bigger.
28、 The same thing can happen with body parts that have a lot of nerves. If youve ever had something stuck in your teeth, it probably felt huge! Thats because our tongues also have lots of nerves.12What did Matthew Longo and his team find from their study?ATheir left hands are much wider than their rig
29、ht hands.BThe length of all fingers can be marked accurately.CPeople dont know their hands as well as they think.DPeople did best pointing at the position of knuckles.13Why do our lips seem bigger than our noses?AOur lips have a more important function than our noses.BThere are more nerves in our no
30、ses than in our lips.COur mental map must prefer the lip to the nose.DOur sense of touch in our lips is much stronger.14What conclusion can we draw about the experiment?APeople dont care about something around us at all.BOur hometown is to us what hands are to our body.COur bodies can be different f
