A As children return to school this fall and sign up for a new year’s worth of extracurricular（课外的) activities，parents should keep one question in mind. Whether your kid loves Little League or gymnastics, ask the program organizers this: “Which kids get awards?” If the answer is“Everybody gets a souvenir”, please find another program．

I have spent years reporting on the effects of praise and rewards on kids. The science is clear. Awards can be powerful motivators(动力), but nonstop recognition does not inspire children to succeed．Instead, it can make them fail to realize their full potential．

It turns out that，once kids are expert in a task，the excitement and uncertainty of real petition may bee the activity’s very appeal．

If children know they will automatically get an award，what is the motivator for improvement? Why bother learning problem-solving skills, when there are never obstacles to begin with? It’s accepted that，before punishing children，we must consider their individual levels of cognitive(认 知 的)and emotional development. Then we monitor them, changing our approach if there’s a negative oute. However, when it es to rewards, people argue that kids must be treated equally：Everyone must always win. That is misguided. And there are negative outes. Not just for specific children，but for society as a whole．

“In life, you’re going to lose more often than you win, even if you’re good at something,” Ms. Twenge told me, “You’ve got to get used to that to keep going．”

When children make mistakes, our job should not be to spin those losses into decorated victories. Instead, our job is to help kids overe difficulties, to help them see that progress over time is more important than a particular win or loss, and to help them politely congratulate

the child who succeeded even when they failed. This school year, let’s fight for a kid’s right to lose．

21．The passage tells us that ______.

A．children should be given awards automatically B．children should be punished when they fail

C．it is not a good idea to give children awards automatically D．it is a good idea to let children win instead of losing 22．From this passage, we can learn______ . A．people are going to lose more than they win

B．people should do anything that can prevent children from failing C．people fight very hard for children’s right

D．people shouldn’t bother children’s problem-solving skills 23．Which of the following is the best title of this passage? A．Never lose the opportunity for prizes B．Punishing may do harm to children C．Losing sometimes is good for children D．Make children participate in more activities

B

The first thing that struck me about Hossa was the pure, total silence. It’s almost as if time stands still here, with nothing so much as a light wind disturbing the mirror-like lakes and trees that extend as far as the eye can see.

This is undoubtedly the reward for those who drive into this wilderness off the main E63 highway 750km northeast of Helsinki. Even by Finnish standards, Hossa is remote. You’re more likely to e across a reindeer（驯鹿）than a fellow hiker along most of the 90km of marked trails through the forest that make up one of the oldest hiking areas in Finland.

It’s this sense of escapism that will no doubt attract far more visitors to Hossa. The long-standing relationship between man and nature in Hossa dates back thousands of years. The first settlers arrived after the last ice age, following the wild reindeer that populated the north of Finland as the climate warmed. The V?rikallio rock wall, which rises more than 10m perpendicular（垂直的）from Lake Somerj?rvi, reveals evidence of early life here: Stone Age paintings on the rock’s face are estimated to be up to 4,500 years old, though they weren’t discovered until 1977. It’s not surprising that the V?rikallio paintings remained hidden for so long given that they could only be reached by boat or on foot (or ski) when the lake froze

over in each winter. Today, the rock wall and its new viewing platform are accessible by a picturesque 4.5km footpath from the Lihapy?rre parking area, a short drive from the Hossa Visitor Centre.

There’s still an air of mystery surrounding the exact age and meaning of the 60 painted figures on the rock’s face. The most attractive are four human shapes with triangular heads, a horned（长角的）figure thought to describe a dancing shaman（通灵大师）and about 30 detailed reindeer drawings.

24. From the first paragraph we know ________ A. nothing made an impression on the writer B. there is a light wind C. the writer felt sad

D. there are only a few wonderful trees 25. From the passage, we can infer that______.

A. the 60 painted figures on the rock’s face is meaningless B. people used to drive to visit the V?rikallio paintings C. people sometimes visit Hossa in order to hide from their enemy D. few people are visiting Hossa

26. Which of the following tells us there was life there long time ago? A. The V?rikallio rock wall B. the wild reindeer C. the warm climate D. the new viewing platform

27. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? A. The lakes there are clear.

B. The wild reindeer populated the north of Finland C. Stone Age paintings were discovered 4500 years ago D. The weather there is very cold in winter.

C

Throughout history, humans have existed side-by-side with bacteria and viruses. We have developed gradually to resist them, and in response they have developed new ways of infecting us.

We have had antibiotics（抗生素） for almost a century, ever since Alexander Fleming discovered

penicillin. In response, bacteria have responded by developing antibiotic resistance. The battle is endless: because we spend so much time with pathogens（病原体）, we sometimes develop a kind of natural situation where we can’t make progress.

However, what would happen if we were suddenly exposed to deadly bacteria and viruses that have been absent for thousands of years, or that we have never met before?

We may be about to find out. Climate change is melting permafrost（冻土） soils that have been frozen for thousands of years, and as the soils melt they are releasing ancient viruses and bacteria that are springing back to life.

In August 2018, in a remote corner called the Yamal Peninsula in the Arctic Circle, a 12-year-old boy died and at least twenty people were hospitalised after being infected by anthrax.（炭疽病）

The theory is that, over 75 years ago, a reindeer infected with anthrax died and its frozen body became trapped under a layer of frozen soil, known as permafrost. There it stayed until a heat-wave in the summer of 2018, when the permafrost melted.

This exposed the reindeer body and released infectious anthrax into nearby water and soil, and then into the food supply. More than 2,000 reindeer eating grass nearby became infected, which then led to the small number of human cases. The fear is that this will not be a single case.

As the Earth warms, more permafrost will melt. Under normal circumstances, superficial（表面的） permafrost layers about 50cm deep melt every summer. But now global warming is gradually exposing older permafrost layers.

28. According to the passage we can say _______

A. anthrax infected a small number of humans, which led to reindeer cases B. there is a heat-wave every year

C. now global warming is exposing the same permafrost layers. D. the war between humans and bacteria has not been finished.

29. When ing to the possibility of being exposed to deadly bacteria that has been absent for thousands of years, the writer thinks ______________ A. the possibility is indeed high B. the possibility is low C. people are being infected now D. reindeer are being infected now

30. If we want to avoid releasing ancient viruses and bacteria, what should we do first? We should
