It was a battle of wills (意愿) over what college I was to attend. Mom wan
10、ted me to attend a famous _16_ school, and I wanted to go to a small writing college. Every night for two weeks, we argued, shouted until both sides went to bed with _17_. It was mostly my fault (过错). Since my junior year of high school, I had wanted to be a nurse. I took all the science courses, an
11、d even worked as a _18_ in my towns local hospital. My _19_ was to help the sick and be superwoman to the world. Yet, as graduation and college neared, it all _20_. Treating the sick was great, but not what I was meant to do for the rest of my life. I could picture _21_ in hospitals, making rounds,
12、and taking temperatures, but I couldnt picture myself happy. It wasnt the _22_ I wanted. Then, I realized I had been creating and writing stories since I could _23_. I loved it, and writing was what I had been doing as a _24_. It was going to be my career. And it had to be. On August 1st, Mom and I
13、sat down at the dinner table and I told her that she had every right to _25_ where to spend her money, just like I had every right to decide where I wanted to go to school. If it was her choice not to _26_ any of my college education, then I would take a year off to work and make money so I could go
14、 to the college I wanted. Standing by my decision to be a _27_ had proven my firm belief to my mom. Finally we were _28_, and she decided to support me, which meant the world to me. Before that time, I had never stood up _29_ my parents on any major decision. Choosing which college to attend _30_ me

Most people think it takes about two minutes to make a judgment about someone when you first meet them. Im reading a book at the moment about first impressions. It says t
18、hat we, actually, make decisions about new people in a few secondsthat means we make a decision without even thinking. Our minds unconsciously (无意识地) say, “I really like you” or “Ill keep a distance from you.” How quickly do you think you make judgments about people? Do you have any advice on what t
19、o do or say when you meet new people? Any answers, please. Ana, SpainWhen a friend introduces me to someone at a party and I have to make small talk, I sometimes stumble (结巴) over my words and start mumbling (嘟哝). Ive watched more confident people and they always speak up. I read something about giv
20、ing people compliments (赞美) and asking questions. Its a good way to start a conversation. You can say something like, “I really love your shoes! Where did you get them?” So, thats what Im going to do next time I meet someone new. Also, feeling confident about what I look like helps methats why I alw
21、ays wear clothes that make me feel good. Mark, AustraliaI work in a big company and I meet new colleagues all the time. You need to think about the language you use, especially when you greet people. I always say, “Hello, pleased to meet you.” I cant stand it when people you dont know are really inf
22、ormal (不拘礼节的) and say something like, “Hey, whats up?” I think it also sounds silly when people are too formal and say “How do you do?”Jelena, PolandAs Im writing this, Im nervous because Im starting a new class tomorrow and Im going to meet lots of new classmates. I think itll be fine, though. I kn
23、ow one person and Im meeting her before the class. Also, most people are nervous in new situations. My parents always tell me to treat people as you want them to treat you. You should never talk down to them or gossip (说的闲话) about them. Id like people to chat with me and be friendly, so Im going to
24、do that. I think its also important to make eye contact and listen to people. You should not talk about yourself all the time or take control of the conversation. 31Mark would most likely say “_” when greeting new colleagues.AHow are you doing?BHow do you do?CHey, man! Whats up?DIts nice meeting you
25、.32What advice does Jelena give on meeting new people?AYou could talk more about yourself to let others know you better.BYoud better lead the conversation so that others dont feel left out.CYou should be friendly and avoid talking about other peoples private lives.DYoud better not make direct eye co
26、ntact with people you meet for the first time.33The article is most likely taken from _.Aa local news websiteBa fashion magazineCa book about first impressionDan online discussion platformAs a teen, Cynthia Nebel studied by reading her textbooks and notebooks. “Over and over and over again,” recalls
27、 this psychologist at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Now, she adds, “This is a very common bad study habit. Actually, thats one of the most common bad study skills that students have.”In one 2021 research study, some college students read a text twice. Others read a text just once. B
28、oth groups took a test right after the reading. Test results differed little between these groups, researchers found. Too often, when students reread material, its superficial. Rereading is like looking at the answer to a puzzle (谜语), rather than doing it yourself. It looks like it makes sense. But
29、until you try it yourself, you dont really know if you understand it. In one 2022 study, a group of students were asked to reread material to two other groups. One group wrote questions about the material. The other group answered questions from someone else. Later, all the groups took a test on the
30、 material. The results showed that those who answered the questions did best; those who just reread the material did worst. That 2022 study backs up one of Nebels preferred study habits. Before big tests, her mom quizzed (测试) her on the material. “Now I know that was retrieval practice (回溯练习),” she
31、says. “Its one of the best ways you can study.” As Nebel got older, she quizzed herself. For example, she might cover up the definitions (定义) in her notebook. Then she tried to recall what each term meant. “Make a deck of flash cards every time you learn new information,” Nebel suggests. “Put questi
32、ons on one side and the answers on the other side.” Friends can even quiz each other on the phone, she says. But really grill (追问) yourself and your friends, she adds. And heres why. She was part of a team that asked students to write one quiz question for each class period. Students would then answ
33、er a question from another classmate. The results showed that students did worse on tests afterwards than when the daily quiz questions came from the teacher. Nebels team is still analyzing the data. She suspects the students questions may have been too simple. Teachers often dig deeper, she notes.
34、They dont just ask for definitions. Often, teachers ask students to compare and contrast (对比) ideas. That takes some careful thinking.34The 2021study is listed to show _.Areading textbooks is a common study skillBCynthia Nebel was a good learner when she was at schoolCreading textbooks over and over
35、 helps to improve memoryDrereading books and notes doesnt help students learn better35The underlined word “superficial” in paragraph 3 most probably means “_.”Ataking much time and effortBnot being afraid of making mistakesCsolving problems without much effortDnot studying something carefully or com

37、 practice in ones studiesHeres one scene. Say you are in heavy traffic and your cars brakes (刹车) start to fail. If you keep going, you will go into the back of a truck and probably die. But if you turn sharply to avoid the truck, you risk hitting an elderly woman or a group of children. What do you
38、do? This is an extreme choice. But every day, drivers around the world have to make quick decisions to avoid accidents. Often, they react without even having time to think. But what would a driverless car do? Self-driving cars are designed to deal with all sorts of situations, from understanding tra
39、ffic rules to planning the easiest route that avoids construction. These programming decisions are direct and clear. Ethics (道德), on the other hand, is not. How do you program a car to decide what to do in the case of an accident? How do you choose which life is more valuable? And who gets to choose
40、? This is a problem that ethicists, lawyers, and car makers are all wondering about. The ethicist opinionPatrick Lin teaches robotics and ethics at California Polytechnic State University. He says that it might seem easy to say that self-driving cars must follow certain rules to minimize or reduce h
41、arm, but he says, “even that leads to morally murky (模糊的) decisions.” He gives an example: on one side of you is a motorcyclist wearing a helmet; on the other is a motorcyclist not wearing a helmet. If the cars computer tells it to minimize harm during a necessary turn, that might mean hitting the p
42、erson with the helmet. After all, they are better protected and so less likely to be hurt. But, Lin asks, arent you being unfair to the responsible (负责的) motorist? According to Lin, any type of decision-making based on age, gender, or any similar factor would be discrimination (歧视) and therefore aga
43、inst standards of ethics. He explained that even the safest car runs the risk of having accidents, and that the responsibility for programming will lie with the car makers. The legal opinionBut some experts say we dont need to worry about this problem. Bryan Casey teaches at Stanford Law School. Cas
44、ey says that what a self-driving car does in a crash is not an ethical issue (问题) at all. Instead, it is a legal issue. If a driver has a crash now, the law decides if he was driving dangerously or if it was truly an accident. If the driver was dangerously careless, he faces punishment, often a fine
45、 or jail. If a breakdown caused the crash, the car makers might be at fault. Either way, laws exist to decide what is wrong, and who is responsible. Casey says that will not change with the arrival of self-driving cars. We expect self-driving cars to be very safe, safer than human drivers because co
46、mputers can react more quickly. And indeed, an autonomous vehicle should be well designed and slow down or speed up in relation to the actual case. However, accidents can always happen. This means that drivers, car makers, and lawmakers will need to deal with new problems as they appear.38What is th
47、e most difficult problem facing self-driving cars now?AHow to avoid causing accidents on the road.BWhen to slow down or speed up in actual case.CHow to decide what to do in the case of an accident.DHow to plan routes according to different situations.39The example of the motorcyclist (Para. 4) is to show _.Aall
