28、 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.Making connectionsThis technique involves taking 55 ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or th

Write down all the ideas/words 56 with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the 57_ to the job you have to do.

Reading Comprehension (12%)AChimps(黑猩猩)will cooperate in certain ways, like gathering in war parties to protect their territory. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct (本能) to help one an
36、other. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their children. Who are able from a young age to gather their own food.In the laboratory, chimps dont naturally share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of
37、 food for himself or, with no great effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull at randomhe just doesnt care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.Human children, on the other hand are extremely corporative. From the earliest ages, t
38、hey decide to help others, to share information and to participate a achieving common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of expensive with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18months see an worried adult with hands full trying to ope
39、n a door, almost all will immediately try to help.There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught. but naturally possessed in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train children to beha
40、ve socially. Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are remanded. A third reason is that social intelligence. Develops in children before their general cognitive（认知的）skills, at least when compared with chimps. In tests conducted by Tomasello, the children did no bette
41、r than the chimps on the physical world tests, but were considerably better at understanding the social world.The cure of what childrens minds have and chimps dont in what Tomasello calls what. Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking. But that, even very young ch
42、ildren want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a “we”, a group that intends to work toward a shared goal.66.what can we learn from the experiment with chimps?A.Chimps seldom care about others interests.B.Chimps tend to provide food for their children.C.Chimps like to ta
43、ke in their neighbors food.D.Chimps naturally share food with each other.67.Micheal Tomasellos tests on young children indicate that they A.have the instinct to help others.B.know how to offer help to adults.C.know the world better than chimps.D.trust adults with their hands full.68.The passage is m
44、ainly about .A.the helping behaviors of young children.B.ways to train childrens shared intentionality.C.cooperation as a distinctive human nature.D.the development of intelligence in children.BEvery man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also
45、age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects
46、 waited until thelast moment. Book reports werent written until the final threat.Ive been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her masters degree in English. But Jody？When he entered the tenth grade he became a “votech” student（技校学生）. Theyre called “m
47、otorheads” by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, hes a good kid, ”I wanted to say. “And smart, really. ”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And th
48、ey dont often make school honor rolls（光荣榜）.But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices dont have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “He
49、y, I can fix it, ”said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts（零件） from a junkyard, nontoasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbours and coworkers trust their car repair to him.Since that first repair job, a brok
50、en airconditioner, a nonfunctioning washer and a nontoasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and coworkers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands
51、 and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead：publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics,and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers dont need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.69. What used
52、to be the authors hope for his son?A.To avoid becoming his clone.B.To resemble him in appearance.C.To develop in a different direction.D.To reach the authors unachieved goals.70. In the authors eyes, motorheads are _.A.tidy and hardworkingC.lazy but brightB.cheerful and smartD.relaxed but rude71. Wh
53、at did the author realize in the end?A.It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.B.It is important for one to make the honor roll.C.Architects play a more important role than builders.D.Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.CIn the United States alone,over 100 million cell-
54、phones are thrown away each year.Cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants.The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole.Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and
55、silver.A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste,the concentration(含量)of gold and other precious metals was higher in so-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals.Electronic wastes also
56、contain many poisonous metals.Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed,the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries,in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment.Creating products out of raw materials c
57、reates much more waste material, up to 100 times more, than the material contained in the finished products. Consider again the cell-phone, and imagine the mines that produced those metals, the factories needed to make the box and packaging (包装)it came in. Many wastes produced in the producing proce
58、ss are harmful as well.The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that “ the production, distribution, and use of productsas well as management of the resulting wasteall result in greenhouse gas release.” Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less
59、waste at the startfor instance, buying reusable products and recycling.In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or hasbeen put in place as an incentive(动机)for reducing waste. If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products
60、, would they reduce the packaging in the first place?Governments incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money. Why, they ask, should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap(气泡垫)that encased your televisi
61、on?From the governments point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.72.By mentioning the Swiss study, the author intends to
62、tell us that _.A.the weight of e-goods is rather smallB.e-waste deserves to be made good use ofC.natural minerals contain more precious metalsD.the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste73.The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended_ .A.from producers to governmentsB.from g
63、overnments to producersC.from individuals to distributorsD.from distributors to governments74.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The increase in e-waste.B.The creation of e-waste.C.The seriousness of e-waste.D.The management of e-waste.DRevolutionary TV EarsTV Ears has helped thousands of peo
