9、选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 AAre you bad at math? If you answer yes, consider this question: Are you bad at math because you didnt study hard enough to learn the material or because you lack the ability to be good at it?As it turns out, many children believe that they dont do well on math tests
10、 because theyre intellectually incapable (无能的) of understanding the material. They have no reason to try harder, thus trapping them in a state of being bad at math.Educators Miles Kimball and Noah Smith argue that this is a big problem, “Math is the great mental subject of an unconfident America. If
11、 we can convince you that anyone can learn math, it should be a short step to convincing you that you can learn just about anything, if you work hard enough.”Psychologist Carol Dweck took on the task of convincing a group of students that if they worked hard they could become smarter. The truly rema
12、rkable part of that study was not that the kids improved and earned higher grades; it was that Dweck noted that a few of the tough boys in the group were brought to tears, learning that the level of intelligence they could reach was limitless it was entirely up to them.Of course, not all of us will
13、become genius mathematicians, but the majority of us can become skilled and maybe even good at math. As Mashable points out, while dyscalculia (计算障碍), a math disability, is a real thing, only 6 percent of the population is likely to have it. For the rest of us, its a confidence problem, or a lack of

BNick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but the brave 32yearold man plays football and golf, swims, and surfs. Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance
17、and enables him to kick. He uses his one foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up between his toes. “I call it my chicken drumstick，” joked Nick. “Id be lost without it. When I get in the water I float because 80 per cent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts as a propeller (螺旋桨)”When N
18、ick was born, his father was so shocked he left the hospital room to vomit. His distraught mother couldnt bring herself to hold him until he was four months old.“It was so hard for them, but right from the start they did their best to make me independent. My dad put me in the water when I was 18 mon
19、ths old and gave me the courage to learn how to swim，” said Nick.Throughout his childhood Nick dealt with the typical challenges. At the age of seven, Nick tried out some specially designed electronic arms and legs, in the hope that he would be more like other kids. During the short trial period of
20、the electronic arms and legs, Nick realized that even with them, he was still unlike his peers at school, and they turned out to be much too heavy for Nick to operate, affecting his flexibility quite significantly.“When I was 13 I read a newspaper article about a disabled man who had managed to achi
21、eve great things and help others，” said Nick. “I realized why God had made us like this to give hope to others. It was so inspirational to me that I decided to use my life to encourage others and decided to be thankful for what I do have, not get angry about what I dont.”“I tell people to keep on ge
22、tting up when they fall and to always love themselves，” he said. “If I can encourage just one person then my job in this life is done.” By now, he has visited 35 different countries, touring the world as a motivational speaker.24What makes it possible for Nick to swim in the water?AHis small size.BH
23、is small foot.CHis light weight. DHis big lungs.25The underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”Acoldblooded BbadtemperedCreally crazy Dextremely upset26Nick abandoned the electronic arms and legs because _Ahis family couldnt afford themBhis classmates didnt like themCthey were t
