共用题干第二篇Three Ways to Become More CreativeMost people believe they don't have much imagination.They are wrong. Everyone has imagination,but most of us,once we become adults,forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works of art or ideas.People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems.Maybe you have a goal to achieve,a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind!Here are three techniques to help you.This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them.First,think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do.Then find an image,word,idea or object,for exam- pie,a candle.Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles:light,fire,matches,wax,night,silence, etc.Think of as many as you can?The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do?So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present,you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for thenight.Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/money,etc.as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities.If,for example,your goal is to learn to ski,you can now prac- tice skiing every day of your life(because you have the time and the money).Now adapt this to reality.May- be you can practice skiing every day in December,or every Monday in January.Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators（谈判者）use this technique in business; and so do writers.Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books.They ask questions: what does this character want?Why can't she get it?What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about?If your goal involves other people,put yourself" in their shoes".The best fisher- men think like fish!According to the passage,when we become adults_______________.A:most of us are no longer creativeB:we are not as imaginative as childrenC:we can still learn to be more creativeD:we are unwilling to be creative

共用题干American SportsThe United States is a sports-loving nation.Sports in America take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory；athletic games,played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found;and hunting and fishing.Most sports are seasonal,so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year.Some sports are called spectator sports,as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.Baseball is the most popular sport in the US.It is played throughout the spring and sum-mer,and professional baseball teams play well into the fall.Although no other game is exact-ly like baseball,perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket.Football is the most popular sport in the fall.The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago.It is still played by almost every college and university in the coun-try,and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people.The game is not the same as European football or soccer.In American football there are 11 players on each team,and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges.Like football,basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries.Many Americans prefer it to foot-ball because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game.It is a very popular game with high schools,and in more than 20 states,state-wide high school matches are held yearly.Other spectator sports include wrestling,boxing,and horse racing.Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen,the accuracy of the term is questionable,as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes.The so-called sportsmen are the spectators,who do“not assemble” primarily to see the horses race,but to bet upon the outcome of each race.Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.Hunting and fishing are mainly favored by men,young and old, in the US.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned
共用题干How to Get Along Well With Your Boss1 Before you argue with your boss,check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood.If he ate nails for breakfast,it is not a good idea to ask him for something.Even without the boss's secretary,there are keys to timing:don't approach the boss when he's on deadline,don't go in right before lunch,when he is apt to be distracted and rushed,don't go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.2 If you're mad,that will only make your boss mad.Calm down first,and don't let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration.The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind.Then maybe he will dismiss you.3 Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.4 Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more.If you can't put forward an immediate solution,at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can't get past the secretary.5 To deal effectively with a boss,it's important to consider his goals and pressures.If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss,then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.Paragraph 4______A:Keep Your Voice Low All the TimeB:Put Yourself in the Boss's PositionC:Propose Your SolutionD:Don't Go In When You Are AngryE:Make the Issue Clear F:Never Give In
共用题干How Human's Personalities and Behaviors Are Formed1 People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed.It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not,or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.2 Social scientists are,of course,extremely interested in these types of questions.They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors.There are no clear answers yet,but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed.As one might expect,the two approaches are very different from each other.The controversy is often conveniently referred to as "nature vs.nurture".3 Those who support the"nature"side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological factors.That our environment has littie,if anything ,to do with our abilities,characteristics and behaviors is central to this theory.Taken to an extreme,this theory maintains that our behavior is pre-determined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts.4 Those who support the"nurture"theory,that is,they advocate education,are often called behaviorists. They claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act.A behaviorist, B.F.Skinner,sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings.The behaviorists maintain that,like machines ,humans respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior.5 Let us examine the different expianations about one human chiaracteristic，intelligence ,offered by the tow theories.Supporters of the"nature"theory insist that we are born with a certain capacity for learning that is biologically determined.Needless to say ,they don’t believe that factors in the enviroment have much inluence on what is basically a predetermined characteristic.On the other hand,behaviorists argue that our inelligence levels are the product of our experiences.Behaviorists suggest that the child who is raised in an invironment where there are many stimuli which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will experience greater intellectual development.Paragraph 3______A:Environment is ImportantB:Two Approaches Different From Each Other Are FormedC:People Want to Know How Their Personalities and Behaviors Are FormedD:Our Personalities and Behavior Patterns Are Largely Determined by Biological FactorsE:We Want to Explain the Behaviors F:Tow Similar Approaches Are Forme
共用题干第一篇The Mystery of ClonesScientists have cloned goats,cats,cows,pigs and mice.Now it has been suggested by many commentators and scientists that it might be ethically acceptable to clone existing people in certain cases.One possibility is generating a replacement for a dying relative.All such possibilities,however,makes more and more people concerned that it would be possible that the clone is subjected to expectations and limitations based on the family's knowledge of the genetic"twin",so he or she would not be treated as an individual with independent personality.For the reason that human personality is only partly determined by genes,those assumptions might not be right.The clone of a shy person might behave quite differently if he or she is brought up in a family with encouraging atmosphere.Clones of writers,scholars,scientists or athletes are very likely to choose different careers because of chance event in early life.Some researchers have suggested the idea that couples,in which one part is infertile,might choose to make a copy of one or the other partner. But the notion raises the concerns that the child who is a copy of just one of a couple might not treat naturally,and it is not in the interests of the resulting kid.Moreover,the treatments of all known types of infertility are available nowadays;conventional therapies seem more ethnically acceptable to ordinary people's way of thinking,so the majority of population strongly opposed to allowing cloned human embryos（胚胎）to develop.However,the positive side of the cloning technology cannot be denied,for instance,cloning from cultured cells will provide essential medical opportunities.Scientists are trying to grow an embryo,cloned from a single cell of a human being with goals to design therapies for diseases which are currently untreatable.Of course,people's predictions about this new technology might be all wrong,because social attitudes change and unexpected developments take place.Only time will tell.But biomedical researchers who are dedicated to finding the potential of cloning have plenty to do.Maybe someday soon,a human will be cloned,and mankind will embark on a scientific and moral journey whose destination is not under his own control. Or maybe one day you will be happy to have a clone of your own.What is people's concern about cloning a child for infertile couples?A:The child might not be treated kindly.B:It's not for the good of the resulting child.C:The couples would not accept the resulting child.D:It would be wild to have a clone of one's own.
