like they used to.Hevisited some of his former students while he was in town.At Beverly Hills High School,Mr.C taught ancient history,coached football and golf,and risked his life teaching driverstraining on Saturday mornings from 1964 to 1988.The gray and hobbled students lined upone after another to thank their favorite teacher.One called him a rock star.Another wasgrateful for helping him when he couldnt say so.It was a beautiful tribute,especially in thesetimes of catastrophic teacher shortages.Spending that Sunday in the park with Mr.C was nothing short of magic.It was areminder of all that is promising and possible in public education,including a teacher whoserare emotional honesty could be appreciated and honored decades later.It also brought tomind Maya Angelous saying“People will forget what you said and did,but never forget howyou make them feel.”He made me and others in the park feel heard and seen.Mr.C changed my perception of myself.Rather than seeing myself as a loser cheerleaderwho couldnt compete with the smart kids,I realized how much I loved learning.His historyclass was so interesting.In his classes about the Persians,Greeks,and Romans,extra

life.Both of myparents taught;so did my siblings,aunts,uncles and cousins.I,too,have become a teacherand I try to follow in Mr.Cs footsteps.Some days,I fantasize what it would be like to go ona teacher tour,reaching out to my mentors to express my deep gratitude for all theyve givenme.Seeing Mr.C sparked that fantasy again.When I finally worked up my courage to thankhim,knowing a floodgate

private hospitals have long provided individual rooms with suchcomforts as personal cable television,patients are often still fed institutional food.“Mysterymeat”and processed-cheese slices are common;everything gets cooked in a microwave.More hospitals are starting to feed their patients better food.Intermountain,a non-profitgroup based in Utah that runs 32 hospitals across the Mountain West,has since 2019 servedfreshly made meals to patients.Chefs in proper kitchens now source local ingredients to servein cafeterias.Doctors are consulted to meet patients dietary needs.Christopher Delissio,thehead chef at Intermountain,describes creating a meal for a Mexican child who was beingtreated for cancer.“He would not eat,”Mr Delissio recalls,and that was making it harder forhim to recover from chemotherapy.“I was able to go up on the floor and speak to this boysparents and him and kind of figure out what he wanted,”he says.The link between eating well and good health has long been clear,says David Eisenberg,a nutrition specialist at the Harvard School of Public Health.Heart disease,which has a directconnection to diet,is Americas biggest killer.Roughly two-fifths of American adults areclinically obese,and over 14%suffer from diabetes.The right food can help patients avoidgoing back to hospital.Yet doctors themselves have often been slow to recognise the need toencourage healthy eating,says Dr Eisenberg.Most health care remains curative,rather thanpreventive.A decade ago Henry Ford Hospital in West Bloomfield,outside Detroit,opened ateaching kitchen where staff could help patients plan affordable,healthy meals and learn howto cook them.The idea is now spreading widely.In October a conference for health and foodprofessionals in Los Angeles will encourage the adoption of such kitchens.Participants willtour a new one that has just opened at UCLAs hospital.8.According to the passage,patients had better _.A.select a private hospitalB.get an individual roomC.be served healthy foodD.be offered amusement comforts9.What does Intermountain do?A.They prepare fresh food.B.They consult patients for diets.C.They encourage patients to eat institutional food.D.They require parents to create meals for their sick kid.10.What is implied in the last paragraph?A.Doctors should know how to cook.B.Hospital kitchens are far from enough.C.Professionals are encouraged to open kitchens.D.Patients should be instructed on healthy eating.11.What might be the best title for the passage?A.Hospital Doctors:the Best QualityB.Hospital Kitchen:the Best ChoiceC.Hospital Food:the Best MedicineD.Hospital Chefs:the Best ProfessionalsDIf youve ever emerged from the shower or returned from walking your dog with aclever idea or a solution to a problem youd been struggling with,it may not be an unusualthing.2023 届高三六校第四次联考 英语试题 第4页(共 10 页)Rather than constantly wearing yourself out at a problem or desperately seeking a flashof inspiration,research from the last 15 years suggests that people may be more likely tohave creative breakthroughs or insights when theyre doing a habitual task that doesntrequire much thoughtan activity in which youre basically on autopilot.This lets yourmind wander or engage in spontaneous cognition or“stream of consciousness”thinking,which experts believe helps recollect unusual memories and generate new ideas.“People always get surprised when they realize they get interesting,novel ideas atunexpected times because our cultural narrative tells us we should do it through hard work,”says Kalina Christoff,a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of British Columbia inVancouver.“Its a pretty universal human experience.”Now were beginning to understand why these clever thoughts occur during morepassive activities and whats happening in the brain,says Christoff.The key,according tothe latest research,is a pattern of brain activitywithin whats called the default modenetworkthat occurs while an individual is resting or performing habitual tasks that dontrequire much attention.Researchers have shown that the default mode network(DMN)which connects morethan a dozen regions of the brainbecomes more active during mind-wandering or passivetasks than when youre doing something that demands focus.Simply put,the DMN is“thestate the brain returns to when youre not actively engaged,”explains Roger Beaty,acognitive neuroscientist and director of the Cognitive Neuroscience of Creativity Lab atPenn State University.By contrast,when youre trapped in a demanding task,the brainsexecutive control systems keep your thinking focused,analytical,and logical.A cautionary note:While the default mode network plays a key role in the creativeprocess,“its not the only important network,”Beaty says.“Other networks come into playas far as modifying,rejecting,or implementing ideas.”So its unwise to place blind faith inideas that are generated in the shower or during any other period of mind wandering.12.When do people expect to get an innovative idea according to the research?A.When doing routine work.B.When working attentively.C.When tackling tough problems.D.When desperately seeking inspirations.13.What is the cultural perception for getting exciting,unusual ideas?A.Getting by good luck.B.Getting by great efforts.C.Getting by unexpected accident.D.Getting by universal experience.14.Who is most likely to get a novel idea?A.A student who is playing football.B.A student who is focusing on papers.C.A student who is closely monitoring his research.D.A student who is fully engaged in math questions.15.What does the last paragraph imply?A.We can get novel ideas by the default mode network.B.we should take the idea popped in the shower seriously.C.Believe in ideas that are generated by the default mode network.D.Think twice before putting ideas playfully crossing your mind into practice.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分）2023 届高三六校第四次联考

disposition.Thesilence of the hall;the21of the clock;the content expression of the person at theneighbouring desk.It therefore seems22surprising that those who worry about tests dosystematically23than those who do not.Unexpectedly,according to research inPsychological Science by Maria Theobald,it is not the pressure of the exam which causes theproblem.It is the24pressure.What Dr Therobald found was that25on the day of the test did not predict examperformance at all.What predicted it was the level of knowledge a student26in theearlier learning activities and the mock(模拟)exam.Those who27well in
