Life in 2060

    Let us suppose the life in A. D. 2060. It is fifty years later. Of course, things have changed and life is very different. Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air- conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old. What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on heir(继承) supply of energy directly like electrical current or nuclear power.

    But many foods now come in pill forms, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants. Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good. Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then. Such would be our life in 2060.

(1)、When was the passage written?
A、In about 2060. B、In about 1960. C、In about 2010. D、In about 2004.
(2)、According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A. D. 2060?

 

A、Many tourists. B、Many other animals. C、Many plants. D、A sea.

A、Biscuits in pill forms. B、Foods in pill forms. C、Foods in water forms. D、Foods in gas forms.

In our lives, we have to get on with the people around us. Being a decent (得体的) person will help us form healthy relationships. Here are some useful suggestions on how to be a decent person. 

Let others trust you. Keep up with your promises. If you promise to be somewhere at a certain time, be there. If you say you'll do a favor, do it. Decent people follow through because they want others to feel safe. People need dependable friends and family members to have a sense of safety in their lives. 

Avoid judgment. Remember, you cannot fully understand what it's like to be inside someone else's head. Therefore, avoid trying to pass judgment on a behavior or a decision. Everyone is different. So, it should not be surprising if another person's choice is different from yours. It's okay to put yourself in someone else's shoes and try to understand their decisions. 

Provide support during bad times.Think about times in your life that were hard. You probably had friends, family members, and other loved ones helping you along the way. If you want to be a decent person, you should provide support in return. When people go through difficult times, put yourself out there and help. 

Let go of anger. If you live with a lot of anger, you're more likely to be unfriendly to others. Becoming a decent person often means letting go of some anger. If you find yourself becoming angry, take physical means to cool down. For example, take a deep breath. Always remember to avoid taking things personally. This will help you away from your anger.

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中选出最佳选项。

①Why do we do the things we do? What drives our behavior? Researchers have suggested different ways of thinking about motivation (动机), including looking at whether motivation comes from outside or inside a person.

②Extrinsic(外来的) motivation is when you decide to do something because you want to get a reward or avoid punishment. Intrinsic (内在的) motivation is when you do something because you find it enjoyable. The behavior itself is its own reward.

③There are many advantages of intrinsi c motivation. Firstly, it's lasting. It makes people willing to face challenges and work hard to achieve their goals. Besides, people with intrinsic motivation have a greater sense of satisfaction.

④Most people think intrinsic motivation is best, but it is not always possible in every situation. Sometimes a person has an unpleasant task and he may not have internal(内部的) wish to complete it. That's when we need extrinsic motivation. But studies have shown that offering too many external (外部的) reward can reduce intrinsic motivation. For example, in a study, they became less interested in the toys.

⑤Both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation play a key role in learning. Experts have argued that traditional education pays too much attention to external rewards, such as grades. This undermines the intrinsic motivation that students might already have. However, others have suggested that extrinsic motivation can help students feel more knowledgeable in class. It helps to build up their intrinsic motivation. 

⑥Understanding how each type of motivation works and when it is likely to be useful can help people complete tasks and improve their learning.
