2.Every so often,someone so young does something so amazing that you can't help but wonder how he manages it.That's what happened the first time we heard Matthew Whitaker play the piano.Matthew is a jazz pianist who is blind,and since the age of 11,he's been performing around the world.
Matthew Whitaker was born at 24th week.He weighed 1 pound and 11 ounces.His parents were told he had less than a 50% chance of survival.One of the many complications(并發(fā)癥)he faced was a disease which led to blindness.
No one in Matthew's family was a musician,but his grandfather bought him his first keyboard when he was 3 years old.It didn't take long for Matthew to show that he had a gift.So the Whitakers decided to get Matthew a teacher,which proved to be difficult."At the time,we got a lot of answers that he's too young and they don't know how to teach a blind child," Moses Whitaker said."He was 3 years old at the time."
Finally,Dalia Sakas agreed to meet Matthew.Dalia is the director of music studies at a music school in New York City,a school for the visually impaired.To her surprise,Matthew could listen to a piece of music once and then play it."Because it is rare to meet someone of the world and I want to make that possible."
She did.Matthew has played in more than 200 clubs and concert halls around the world.His love of music has never been in doubt.Matthew's latest album is called Now Hear This.One critic noted that it sounded like Matthew was playing with six hands.

3.For the most part,American children aren't great at math.But Chinese children tend to be excellent.It's consistently found Chinese students at the top of the academic pile and Americans much nearer the bottom.
In Lenora Chu's book "Little Soldiers:An American Boy,a Chinese School",she begins to reveal the cultural differences that lead to this gap.The differences she notices in children's focus and discipline are dramatic,but she also notices cultural differences that influence how Chinese schools are run,and the reason why its students test so well.Along with factors such as highly trained teachers and an emphasis on memorizing before pursuing deeper understanding,the difference comes down to a belief that has begun slowly making its way across the US:achievement is the result of hard work,not natural ability.
This approach comes from a firm belief that anything is possible with hard work,with chiku,or "eating bitter".Studies show that for kids who score poorly.Chinese teachers believe a lack of effort-rather than of smarts-is to blame.
Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck,author of "Mindset(心態(tài))",is responsible for making up the terms "growth mindset" and "fixed mindset".Chinese students are trained to have a growth mindset:if they aren't doing well,they'll work harder,and they'll be successful.American children tend to be trained to have a fixed mindset about academics:their abilities are largely predetermined and static.If they aren't doing well,it's because they're not good at it.
In America students are told that learning is fun and easy.But real learning is actually very difficult and takes suffering and anxiety.If you're not willing to go through that you're not going to learn deeply.The downside is these students often give up when something gets hard or when it's no longer fun.
(1)According to Lenora Chu,what contributes most to the Chinese students' excellent academic performance?
A.School operation model.
B.The emphasis on memorizing.
C.High-qualified teachers.
D.Chinese culture.
(2)According to Chinese teachers,students failing an exam are
A.lazy
B.slow
C.unfocused
D.foolish
(3)Which of the following is TRUE according to Carol Dweck's theory?
A.A majority of Chinese students are born excellent learners.
B.American students tend to believe learning ability is genetically determined.
C.American students should choose a Chinese school to achieve success.
D.American students are lacking in a fixed mindset,compared to Chinese students.
(4)What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Students should study in a fun way.
B.American students are always anxious about their study.
C.American students have no difficulty in learning deeply.
D.Diligence plays an essential part in learning.組卷:14引用:1難度:0.5

I have a friend who is afraid of spiders.This isn't very unusual;a lot of people are afraid of spiders.I don't really like spiders much myself.But my friend isn't afraid of spiders in any normal way.She isn't just afraid of spiders,she is totally,completely and utterly terrified of them.When she sees a spider,she shivers all over and sometimes she freezes completely-she can't move at all because she is so scared.Sometimes she even faints.
She decided to do something about her terror,so she went to visit a doctor.After knowing my friend's situation,the doctor got out a small spider from his desk.It wasn't a real spider.It was made of plastic.Even so,my friend screamed when she saw it."Don't worry," said the doctor."It's not a real spider." "I know," said my friend."But I'm afraid of it just the same."
"Hmm," said the doctor."A serious case…" He put the plastic spider on the desk.When my friend stopped screaming,the doctor told her to touch it.When she stopped screaming again-the idea of touching the plastic spider was enough to make her scream-she touched it.At first she touched it for just one second.She shivered all over,but at least she managed to touch it."OK," said the psychiatrist."that's all for today and you can go home now."
My friend went back the next day,and found the plastic spider was already on the doctor's desk.This time she touched it and held it for five minutes.Then the doctor told her to go home and come back the next day.The next day she went back and the plastic spider was on her chair.She had to move the spider so she could sit down.The next day she held the spider in her hand while she sat in her chair.The next day,the doctor gave her the plastic spider and told her to take it home with her.After a deep breath,she agreed.
Paragraph 1
The next day,she went back with the plastic spider and then she had a shock…a big shock._________
Paragraph 2
"Guess what?" my friend said to me one day."I've got a new pet!" _______組卷:15引用:2難度:0.5
