Ш. Reading
Comprehension
Section A
Directions:
For each blank in the following passage
there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and
in
each blank with the word or phrase
that best fits the context.
If you are a
perfectionist, you are probably familiar with the
feeling of wanting to get everything just right.
You
may struggle with handing in
papers, agonize (
苦苦思索
) over
projects at work, and even worry about small
errors from
the past. High __41__ are
one thing, but perfectionism is quite as some
researchers have discovered, __ 42__
perfection can have serious
consequences to mental and physical well-being.
Since
perfectionism is __ 43___ with negative outcomes,
what can someone with perfectionist tendencies do
to
change their behavior? Although
people are sometimes
__44__ to give up
their perfectionist tendencies, psychologists
point
out
that
giving
up
on
perfection
doesn't
mean
being
unsuccessful.
___45___
mistakes
are
an
important
part
of
learning and growing. __46__ ,
imperfection can actually help us in the long run.
One possible
__47__ to perfectionism involves developing what
psychologists call a growth mindset
(
思维方式
).
Researchers at Stanford University have
found that cultivating a growth mindset is a key
way to help us learn from our
failures.
Unlike
those
with
___48___
mindsets
--
who
see
their
skill
levels
as
in
born
and
unchangeable,
those
with
growth
mindsets
believe
they
can
improve
their
abilities
by
learning
from
their
mistakes.
Psychologists
point
out
that
parents can play a __
49__ role in helping their children develop
healthier attitudes towards failure: they can
praise their
children
for
making an effort
even
if
their
results
are
imperfect
and
help
children learn
to___
50___
when
they
make
mistakes.
Another
___
5l___
option
for
perfectionism
is
to
cultivate
self-compassion
(
自我同情
)
.
To
understand
self-compassion,
thank
about
how
you
would
___52___
a
close
friend
if
they
made
a
s
are
that
you
d
probably
make
responses
with
kindness
and
understanding,
knowing
that
your
friend
meant
well.
The
idea
behind
self-
compassion is that we should treat ourselves
___53___ when we make mistakes, remind ourselves
that mistakes are
part
of
being
human,
and
avoid
being
___54___
by
negative
emotions.
Self-compassion
can
be
beneficial
for
mental
healt
h,
but perfectionists tend not to treat themselves in
compassionate ways. If you’re interested in trying
to foster more
self-compassion the
researcher who developed the concept of self-
compassion has a short exercise you can try.
Psychologists
have also suggested that cognitive
(
认知的
) behavioral therapy can
be a way to help people change
their
beliefs
about
perfectionism.
Although
perfectionism
is
linked
to
lower
mental
health,the
good
news
is
that
perfectionism
is
something
you
can
change.
By
working
to
see
mistakes
as
learning
___55___,
and
replacing
self-criticism with self-compassion,
it's possible to overcome perfectionism and
develop a healthier way of setting goals
for yourself.

Section B
Directions:
Read the following three passages. Each
passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements.
For each of them
there are four choices marked A, B, c and D.
Choose the one that fits best according to the
information
given in the passage you
have just read.
(A)
I had a teacher who used to wake up in
class by shouting: The early bird gets the
worm!
worm
ood that doesn’t
stay stil
l, and avoid 'Japanese
restaurants for that very , I stopped eating
worms at the age of three, switching to
regular breakfasts of cereal
(
谷物
) , to which I would add
extra sugar.
Recently
I
was
thinking
about
early
birds
and
the
competitive
spirit
after
receiving
a
letter
from
a
reader
in
Malaysia:
him a round of
applause for being smart! Actually many children
in Asia tend to be the focus by performing better
Placed into a
very competitive class when I was 11, I quickly
learned the ideal position was second to last. The
top
three performers' and the very last
person are highlighted; the second-to-last
contestant is INVISIBLE. And it's an easy
position to get- -just deliberately
underperform at every test. I could do that.I once
came second to last in eight straight
sports day races. No one suspected
anything. I was so invisible that I could have
robbed a bank in my street and no one
would have noticed.
At the London Olympics a
few months ago, badminton pairs from three Asian
countries deliberately tried to lost
matches to draw good lots in later
rounds. It was funny to watch, but they were all
thrown out for poor sportsmanship.
What
they really needed were acting lessons, their
moves were so , I hit the ball in entirely the
wrong
direction.
The oth
er day, I
took the children out and they raced for the car.
I’m first.
e. The second said: First is
worst, second is best. Together they
sang at the last one: And third's the one with a
hairy chest.
It
struck me that the organizers of sports matches
could use this song when people deliberately lost
matches. I lost,
the delighted loser
will say. The judges could still declare them
winners, pointing to anew, optional regulation:
First is
worst, second is best, third's
the one with a hairy chest.
