Staw says most people are risk-averse and he refers to them as satisfiers. “As much as we celebrate independence in Western cultures, there is an awful lot of pressure to conform（墨守成规）,” he says. Satisfiers avoid stirring things up, even if it means giving up the truth or rejecting a good idea.

All of this negativity isn’t easy to digest, and social rejection can be painful in some of the same ways physical pain hurts. But there is a glimmer of hope in all of this rejection. A Cornell study makes the case that social rejection is not actually bad for the creative process — and can even accelerate it. The study shows that if you have the sneaking（暗中的） suspicion you might not belong, the act of being rejected confirms your interpretation. The effect can liberate creative people from the need to fit in and allow them to pursue their interests.

Perhaps for some people, the pain of rejection is like the pain of training for a marathon training the mind for endurance. Research shows you’ll need it. Truly creative ideas take a very long time to be accepted. The better the idea, the longer it might take. Even the work of Nobel Prize winners was commonly rejected by their peers for an extended period of time.

Most people agree that what distinguishes those who become famously creative is their resilience（复原力）. While creativity at times is very rewarding, it is not about happiness. Staw says a successful creative person is someone “who can survive conformity pressures without being influenced by social pressure” . To live creatively is a choice. You must make a commitment to your own mind and the possibility that you will not be accepted. You have to let go of satisfying people, often even yourself. 58. What is the lie mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. That people appreciate creativity very much. B. That people are biased against creative thinking. C. That people insist on doing everything creatively. D. That people are taught to transform our world when young. 59. Which of the following is typical of “satisfiers”? A. They are easily pleased. B. They celebrate independence.

C. They tend not to like sudden changes. D. They are always prepared to take risks.

60. According to Staw, successful creative people ________. A. tend to sacrifice personal happiness for their career B. will have to face reality sooner or later C. tend to make their own choices D. seldom give in to social pressure

C

A well-known study in 1979 found that people who socialize with others live longer than people who keep to themselves. A new study shows that socializing online may have health benefits as well.

To test the theory, researchers from Harvard, Yale, Northeastern and the University of California at San Diego looked at the Facebook profiles of 12 million people. Then they compared the profiles with the California Department of Public Health records over a two-year period from 2011 to 2013. The researchers found that people with more friends online were less likely to die than similar people who were not as connected. The researchers published their findings in an article titled “Online social integration is associated with reduced mortality risk” in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Of all the kinds of Facebook usage, it was getting friend requests rather than sending friend requests that related to reduced mortality. Not all Facebook usage was connected to a longer life. Getting friend requests related to reduced mortality. Similarly, posting photos and being tagged in photos was connected to living longer, but sending messages on Facebook was not. People who were tagged in many photos had the lowest mortality rates in the study.

Some diseases had a significant reduction of mortality with Facebook users. Deaths from infections, diabetes, mental illness or dementia（痴呆）, heart disease, strokes, other cardiovascular（心血管的） diseases, liver disease, and homicide（杀人） all were significantly lower for Facebook users than for non-users. Other causes of death did not show a relation to Facebook usage, including sexually transmitted diseases, several types of cancer, unintentional injuries, drug overdoses, and suicides.

The study did not examine any other social media sites to see if using them prolonged life. Also, two of the

英语试题 第10页（共16页）

researchers worked at Facebook while the study was being conducted. William Hobbes, one of the researchers who was a postdoctoral fellow at Northeastern University, and co-author of the study, worked at Facebook as a research intern(实习生) in 2013. He said that Facebook agreed not to interfere with the research, no matter what the result was. But, he added, researchers “were pretty confident that we were going to find this result” .

The researchers were careful to say that their results showed an associative relationship between using Facebook and living longer, not a causal one. In other words, researchers did not prove that using Facebook makes someone live longer. The study simply showed a connection between a longer life and some activities users do on Facebook. The researchers say the findings may be able to help show how online social networks can help

improve people’s health on a global scale.

61. How did the researchers draw their conclusion? A. By analyzing causes. B. By doing questionnaires. C. By making comparisons.

D. By conducting experiments.

62. What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A. Social media makes it easier to make friends. B. Not all Facebook usage is connected with a longer life. C. Posting photos may become very popular in the future. D. Using Facebook frequently makes one’s life last longer.

63. Facebook usage may reduce the mortality risk of people suffering from ________.

A. strokes

B. cancer

C. drug abuse

D. suicides

64. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To report the results of a study. B. To stress the importance of social media. C. To show the healthy way of using Facebook. D. To explain why online interaction has health benefits.

D

Author Norman Mailer once published an essay in which he declared the graffiti（涂鸦）of the New York

subway to be “The Great Art of the 70s”. But what happened to the artists and why is there no subway graffiti any

more?

英语试题 第11页（共16页） “It started with someone just writing their name — someone saw that, and added on to it,” remembers New York graffiti artist Nicer, born Hector Nazario.“Letters going in front of letters, coming back through a letter, behind a letter, going across a letter... the subways became our playground.”

New York in 1974 was a city in crisis. The Mayor, Abe Beame, cut down the city’s budget to avoid bankruptcy（破产）, which meant laying off school teachers, police officers and subway staff.

“They were taking the money from the schools, there was a lot of corruption here, in this community, and so they took the after-school programmes away, and there were no outlets（发泄的方法）for this. So the outlet

became our city,” says Bronx-born designer Eric Orr.

“It was like an explosion. The graffiti explosion. All of a sudden it took over the whole city. I don’t know what

happened, but overnight in the early 70s it was from no graffiti to all graffiti,” says another former artist, Flint Gennari.

Eric Felisbret, author and former graffiti artist, says graffiti culture was in a way a product of the civil rights movement. “It was never political,”he says, “but many people were brought up with that, and to express yourself by breaking the law became a natural process for them.”

The graffiti pioneers came from all races, however.“There were writers that were African American, Latino - Puerto Rico, Dominican, Cuban-Jewish, Asian, and it became one unit — one family,”says another graffiti pioneer, Roberto Gualtieri.

Prof Gregory Snyder, sociologist and author of Graffiti Lives, says: “For lots of people, graffiti is ugly and destroy public property, and I don’t refuse that. But it can be written on a dumpster（垃圾箱）, like a garbage bin, and if someone’s attempting to make a garbage bin look a little prettier maybe that’s not the worst thing in the world.” Although Mailer was not alone in welcoming the flowering of creativity, the authorities hated it, as did many passengers.

So when Mayor Ed Koch took office, he was determined to clean up the city and set about targeting graffiti. “I remember in 1982 he brought everyone out to a train yard and there was a single train painted white,” says former New York Daily News reporter Salvatore Arena. Trains were taken out of service and cleaned as soon as

graffiti was spotted. Carriages were protected at night and the city agreed to ban the sale of spray cans.

It’s now socially accepted in places where 20—30 years ago that would have been impossible. It’s now showcased（展示） in certain museums — and let’s say in another 30 years from now it may be hanging in the White House,” says Nicer.

Nowadays painted graffiti is largely gone from the New York subway trains themselves and is seen instead on the walls and tunnels of the city. It has been replaced by scratchiti(刮擦艺术) created onto carriage windows using keys and knives. Unlike the vivid images of 40 years ago, these ghostly patterns are somehow easy to ignore. After all, graffiti has faded quietly into the background. 65. What led to the graffiti’s sudden appearance in New York in the 1970s? A. The publishment of Norman Mailer’s essay on graffiti. B. The development of science and art in New York. C. The support and encouragement of the Mayor. D. The worse economy in New York then. 66. In the 1970s, New York’s graffiti artists _________.

B. Critical.

C. Objective.

D. Negative.

5 life lessons you will learn the hard way

Life is not easy when you are pursuing something worthwhile and ready to learn from the best experiences. It always takes tests and then fails us to learn anything worthwhile. Here are five life lessons which people will learn the hard way in majority of cases.

It takes consistent time and effort to be an expert in any area. People usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would. At this time, people refer only to people who have already achieved what they want to do. Look at any successful person and you’ll notice one thing common in all of them: they took time to learn and mastered their skill like no one else. There is no elevator to success; you have to take the stairs. You don’t have to live your life in a way society wants you to. Many old beliefs are being performed these days and are followed blindly. Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don’t want because other children have selected that career. Worst of all, people follow them without even asking. There is no harm in believing in old beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest, sooner or later you’ll realize that you should first do what you think is right.

We don’t care about the things we get easily. Take health for example. Very few people take their health seriously. They know that if their health is lost, they won’t be happy, but they still eat junk food and never exercise. Why? Because they don’t take their health seriously and the real reason behind that is they have got it for free. We spend thousands on cars and take care of them nicely. Imagine what would have been the price of human body if we had to pay for it?

英语试题 第14页（共16页）

Be brave to take the road less traveled. In our whole life, we always want to follow the same path that everyone suggests, do the same thing everyone does, take the same career path everyone takes, wear the same clothes everyone wears, and hang out with the same people we work with. Why? Because we are scared to fail. But when you get bored of life, you realize that you are not meant to do what everyone does and that your destiny is different than anyone else’s out there in the world. But the price we pay to realize this is high because it takes a great amount of courage to follow your own trail by listening to your heart.

Break the rules sometimes. We follow rules so that things are in order and no one is disturbed unnecessarily. This is true in case of traffic and other company rules but when it comes to your life, there are rules made by people who are scared to do something apart from their routine and therefore they made rules to prevent others doing so. But when time passes by and you think you are not being directed towards your goal and these so-called rules are your biggest obstacles, BREAK THEM. Sometimes, we need to be bold and act courageously.

In China, Yang Zhiqiao is 77 and has retired. She does the Mickey Mouse costume in Luoyang, Henan Province to earn some pocket money from passers-by, which she saves for her son. “My son is 40 and is still

英语试题 第15页（共16页） single. I don’t want to be a burden to him. I want to help him financially so he can get a wife,” Yang says. According to an unrelated news story, parents in a Beijing suburb are getting up at 5 am each day and standing in line for shuttle buses. The early birds have developed this habit not for themselves, but for their grown-up children, who work in downtown Beijing. The youngsters have to spend four or five hours each day commuting and their parents chip in（插嘴）by waiting in line for them so they can squeeze an extra half hour of sleep. However, children in the US will leave their parents when they grow up. They want to find better jobs, so they usually live far away from their parents. They often write to their parents or call them. And they go to visit their parents during their holidays.

Parents will ask their children to do some work around their house. In many families children will get money for doing some housework so that they can learn to make money on their own. Parents usually let their children choose their own jobs. Americans think that for young people it is important to decide on their lives by themselves. 【写作内容】
