count.It is the ability to recognizea 1 in number.Human beings are born with this ability.2，experiments show that many animals are,too.For example,many birds have good number sense.If a nest has four eggs and youremove one,the bird will not 3.However,if you remove two,the bird 4 leaves.This means that the bird knows the5 between two and three.Another interesting experiment showed a birds 6 number sense.A man wastrying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower,but the crowalways left when she saw him coming.The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower.The man had an 8.He took another man with him tothe tower.One man left and the other stayed,but they did not 9 the bird.The crowstayed away until the second man left,too.The experiment was 10 with three menand then with four men.But the crow did not return to the nest until all the menwere 11.It was not until five men went into the tower and only fourleft that theywere 12 able to fool the crow.How good is a humans number sense?Its not very good.For example,babiesabout fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a13 group.But when the number goes beyond three or four,the children are 14 fooled.It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals inthis world,and that our human 15 is not much better than a crows.1.A.riseB.patternC.changeD.trend2.A.Importantly

and fantasy can play an important role in achiebving the things wefear.Children know this very well.Fred Epstein,in his book If I Make It toFive,tells a story heheard from oneof friends about Tom,a four-year-old boy witha cancer in his back bone.He came through several operations and a lot of pain bymastering his imagination.Tom loved to pretend,and he particularly loved to play superheroes,Dr Epsteinexpained that it was actually a brilliant way for his yound mind to handle theterrifying and painful life he led.The day before his thire trip to the operating room,Tom was terrblyafraid.”Maybe I could go as Superman,”he whispered to his mom.Hearing this,themoter hesitated for a while.She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装)，不痛 finally she agreed.The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman,showing off through thehospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.AndTom,with the strength of his fantasy,successfully made it through the operation.The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only.we all hace thepower to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible,to go throughthose things that seem impossible,and to achieve what we never believed we could,Justas Dr.Epstein puts it,”If you can dream it,you can do it”It doesnt mean that you should dress as a superhero for you next jobinterview.But,next time you are texted in a way that seems impossible,imagine whatit woule take to overcome it.Become the person you need to become to win over yourchallenge and do it in your maind first.So,let your imagination run wild,and dareto dream.26.What do we know about Tom?A.He was seriously illB.He was a dishonest boy.C.He was crazy about magicD.He was Dr.Epsteins patient27.What can be inferred about Toms mother?A.She was a rich ladyB.She refused Toms requestC.She wanted Tom to be a superheroD.She wanted to get Tom through the pain28.When Tom went for the third

right decisions.C.To advise us to care about children.D.To encourage us to use our imagination.BSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who growup in the right family,and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.Imnot going to say luck,talent,and circumstan ces dont come into play because theydo.some people are born into the right family while others are born with greatintelligence,and thatsjust the reality of how life is.However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually makeitmorepractical.And,in addition tothat,in ordertogerreally goodatsomething,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.To becomegreat at certain things,itll require even more time,time that most people wontput in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something youlove.If you dont enjoy what you do,it is going fo feel like unbearable pain andwill likely make you quit well before you ever become good ai it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved greatsuccess,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there ata huge cost.Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with somerare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and theres a hugechance thatyoure wrong anyway.Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it,you need to work day in and dayout,almost to the pointof addiction,and over along period of time.If yourenotwilling to put in the time and work,dont expect to receive any rewards.Consistent,hard work wont guarantee you the level of success you may want,but it willguarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that workinto.31.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _.A.the

was David.He kept walking up and down restlessly,his face pale,and his hands shaking slightly.His head teacher had referred him to me.This boyhas lost his family,he wrote.He is understandably very sad and refuses to talkto others,and Im very worried about him.Can you help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair.How could I help him?There areproblems psychology doesnt have the answer to,and
