When my son, Justin, was four, he found a caterpillar (毛虫) and put it in a jar. Each day he fed it with fresh grass and leaves. In a few weeks we discovered it 36 in a cocoon (茧).
Justin was excited. He knew a moth (蛾) or butterfly was about to be 37 , but he didn’t know what kind. He was 38 to know what gift nature was about to give him.
“Dad!” shouted the boy while running to me one day. “Something’s 39 . Come see!”

The next day, I convinced Justin it was time to set the moth free. He took it 42 , opened the jar, and the little moth flew out. It 43 the yard twice, came back, and landed on Justin’s arm. He picked it up, tossed it in the air, and the moth repeated its 44 pattern. He tried over and over, but each time it would 45 to his arm.
Justin 46 _. He put his little pet back to the jar. The next day he attempted to set it free again, and after a few repetitions of the same behavior, the moth 47 flew off into the grass.
Like a 48 , I believe the moth was afraid to leave what it was comfortable with. It wanted to stay with something 49 , scared to move on and experience something unknown.
I was once that little moth. My cocoon was my mother’s 50 , in which I was comfortable. Like the moth, I didn’t want to fly too far away from it. I was 51 when my first job required me to move to a new city. What would I find there? I liked 52 I was.
Humans are creatures of 53 . We resist change. However, if I hadn’t moved, I would not have experienced many 54 and wonderful things or met many of my friends. So each move gave me the 55 to learn and experience, but best of all, I met friends.

A
In the next five years, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) jobs are projected to grow twice as quickly as jobs in all other fields according to the U.S. Bureau of Statistics. While all jobs are expected to grow by 10.4 percent, STEM jobs are expected to increase by 21.4 percent.
By this measure, future STEM jobs represent a huge opportunity to today’s students. But, in fact, of the 3.8 million ninth graders in the U.S., only 233,000 end up choosing a STEM degree in college, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. This means only 6 percent of ninth graders will become STEM graduates. And of these graduates, women will be even more underrepresented in most STEM fields.
These are alarming statistics. How do we get more young boys and girls to be interested in STEM-related fields? It isn’t an easy task. Schools do not always adequately prepare students for these severe subjects, and college programs are designed to get rid of those who are less persistent. Nationally, only 41 percent of initial STEM majors who begin a degree in STEM-related fields complete their degree in less than six years.
In addition, social pressures continue to cast a shadow over girls who might otherwise consider the STEM fields. A couple of years ago, I met amazing parents, both of whom had a background in engineering and hoped their 10-year-old daughter would follow in their footsteps. They encouraged her to take an after-school science / robotics program. When she got there, she found she was outnumbered 6:1 by boys in the class. As the only girl, she came home crying much of the time because she was teased and told that geeky girls are not welcome in the boys’ club. Ironically, by the time young boys are entering college programs in STEM fields, many complain about the lack of girls.
Starting at an early age, even as young as kindergarten, we need to encourage and help the next generation leaders to consider taking up science, computing, math and technology. We also need to realize that for young girls to be inspired to take and stick with this educational path and later career field, they will benefit from the support of the people that surround them: parents, teachers, friends and family members.
56. The STEM statistics are used in the passage mainly to show that ________.
A. STEM jobs will be easily available in the future
B. boys have more advantages over girls in STEM
C. the number of STEM students is rapidly declining
D. America will face serious shortage of STEM talents
57. A large number of STEM students stop their studies when _________.
A. they get bored with the subjects B. they can’t stick to their hard studies
C. they feel they have learnt adequately D. they can easily find jobs in other fields
58. From the passage we can learn that few girls enter the STEM fields partly because ________.
A. few STEM boys like to study with girls B. there is widespread prejudice against girls
C. most girls are bad at the required subjects D. most girls take little interest in STEM jobs
59. In the writer’s opinion, what should we do now?
A. Show the students the advantages of STEM jobs.
B. Provide college graduates with more STEM jobs.
C. Encourage more young children to take up STEM.
D. Make people aware of the importance of STEM.

According to its label (标签), a pint of Häagen-Dazs ice cream contains four servings (份). But when was the last time you measured out a fourth of a container of Cookies & Cream, then put the rest away for another day?
For many people, the reality is that much of a pint can easily disappear in one sitting. A large package of Cool Ranch Doritos lists a single serving as roughly 12 chips, but it’s hard to imagine keeping count of every last chip as you dig into a bag.
Canned soup may be one of the more obvious examples. According to its label, a single serving of Campbell’s Chunky Classic Chicken Noodle soup is one cup—just under half a can— and contains about 790 milligrams of sodium (钠). But in a national survey of 1,000 consumers, only 10 percent of people said they would eat a one-cup portion. Most, about 64 percent, said they would eat an entire can at one time, taking in 1,840 milligrams of sodium in a sitting. That is roughly 80 percent of the 2,300 milligrams recommended as the upper limit for daily salt intake.
In the face of increasing criticism, the Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.) has been under pressure for years to force food makers to include more realistic serving-size information on their labels. The agency regulates the serving sizes that can be listed on packages by providing food makers with detailed instructions to follow, which list the amounts of a specific food that a person would “customarily consume” in a typical sitting. But critics say these so-called reference amounts are often laughably small because they’re based in part on surveys of eating behavior that were carried out in the 1970s, when Americans ate less food and portions had not been supersized.
Now, in an effort to emphasize the problems with some labels, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group, has picked out what it says are some of the worst offenders. At the top of its list are labels for canned soups, ice cream, coffee creamers and nonstick cooking sprays—all of which grossly understate (少报) the calories, sodium and saturated fat the average person typically consumes when eating these foods.
The F.D.A. has been in the process of revising existing food labels since 2005. But the agency has been somewhat tight-lipped about where it is in the process and any changes it plans to make, like whether labels should include details on added sugars or just total sugar, for example, and whether calories should be emphasized less or more than they are now.
This fall, the Institute of Medicine is expected to release its own report on food packaging and labeling as well.
63. According to the passage, when eating canned soup, ________.
A. people are aware of the amount they take in
B. people are worried about the amount they take in
C. many people take in too big an amount unconsciously
D. most people follow the instructions on the label closely
64. The writer tries to convince us that ________.
A. food consumers are to blame for eating so carelessly
B. food makers show little consideration for consumers
C. most labels on food packages give false information
D. the amount of food in one package is often too large
65. What does the writer seem to think of the F.D.A’s efforts?
A. Considerable. B. Unsatisfying. C. Unreasonable. D. Effective.
66. Which might be the proper title for the passage?
A. Problem with serving sizes B. Trend of packaging and labeling
C. Relationship between diet and health D. Efforts to reduce criticism
第四部分 任务型阅读
Attitude is a mental state relative to what we believe and affects our entire lives. We express our attitude in our words and actions.
One of the most important steps you can take toward achieving your greatest potential in life is to learn to monitor your attitude and its impact on your work performance, relationships and everyone around you.
In truth, people generally don’t have a high level of attitude awareness. They’ll know if they are hungry or if their feet hurt, but they usually don’t have a good handle on their attitude. That is a mistake because attitude decides everything. It governs the way you perceive (感知) the world and the way the world perceives you.
We all have a choice. We can choose an inner dialogue of self-encouragement and self-motivation. It’s a power we all have. Each of us experiences hard times, hurt feelings, heartache, and physical and emotional pain. The key is to realize it’s not what happens to you that matters; it’s how you choose to respond.
Your mind is a computer that can be programmed. Your inner dialogue is the software that programs your attitude, which determines how you present yourself to the world around you. You have control over the programming. Whatever you put into it is reflected in what comes out. The sad reality of life is that we will continue to hear negative information, but we don’t have to program it into our brains.
The loudest and most influential voice you hear is your own inner voice. It can work for or against you, depending on the messages you allow. It can be optimistic or pessimistic (悲观的). It can wear you down or cheer you up.
Habitual bad attitudes are often the product of past experiences and events. Common causes include low self-esteem, stress, fear, resentment, anger and an inability to handle change. It takes serious work to examine the roots of a harmful attitude, but the rewards of ridding ourselves of this heavy baggage can last a lifetime.
Here are several strategies to improve your attitude:
Enthusiasm—Vital Tool for Staying Motivated
Enthusiasm is to attitude what breathing is to life. Enthusiasm makes it possible for you to apply your gifts more effectively. Enthusiasm means putting yourself in motion. It’s an internal spirit that speaks through your actions.
Lighten Up Your Life with Humor
Humor is a powerful motivator. The more humor and laughter in your life, the less stress you’ll have, which means more positive energy to help you put your attitude into action. There are also health benefits to lightening up.
Exercising Will Help Keep You Motivated
One of the best ways to move to a more positive and motivated mind is to exercise. A regular exercise routine can provide relatively quick positive feedback in the form of weight loss, muscle development and a sense of doing something positive for yourself.
Seek your personal and professional success by using the tools above. It is no secret that life seems to reward us most when we approach the world with a positive attitude.
