She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn't really have many life skills or self confidence, Deegan said.However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. " Mlife was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you'll get a pretty exact result she said.Deegan started bringing her homemade baked goods to people's homes, which helped her reconnect with people. " Feeding people is such a universal love language “ she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn't put "quit drinking” on her resume.Deegan's life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017.

An interesting research has emphasized the notion that there are some people who embrace challenges and disappointments as opportunities to re-focus their thinking. These are people with a growth mindset. Then, there are other people who see failure as a complete failure. They believe that they never had the talent anyway, and they probably never will. These are people with a fixed mindset.Psychologist Dweck has studied these mindsets and provided evidence that most people intentionally place themselves in one of those two groups. The group to which you assign yourself frequently determines how you react to challenges. If you experience failure and give up, you have conveniently assigned yourself to the fixed group. If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group.According to the research, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. To illustrate, consider Thomas Edison. In the 19th century, Edison attempted to improve the light bulb and experimented with numerous materials. Over a thousand trials, he managed to discover an element sustaining light. A reporter once asked him. "It seems as though you've tried many times and continue to fail each time. Why is that?Edison answered, “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work”In studies of creative people, psychologists discovered that a distinguishing feature separating them from the non-creative is that they make lots of mistakes and continue to work through them. Most people consider success and failure as polar opposites. In reality, they are both parts of the same process.25. What might people with a growth mindset agree with?A. Challenges are welcomed.C. Success is due to good luckMistakes can be avoided.D. Only talent leads to successWhat does the underlined phrase “ a stepping stone in paragraph 2 refer to?A. A road to nowhere.C. An outcome to expect.B. A challenge in the wayD. A chance to advance.26. Why does the author mention Thomas Edison in paragraph 3?A To make a prediction.C. To support a viewpoint.8. To present a factD. To clarify a principle27. What is the main idea of the text?A. How people interpret failure often determines their creative output.B. Learning from success plays an important part in improving creativityGrowth mindset people see challenges differently from fixed mindset onesC. Which group people put themselves in decides how they react to challengesDResearch into social robots has shown that machines that are at the cutting edge of interaction can respond to feelings and emotionally care for the weak, the elderly and children.Robin was designed as a companion robot to provide emotional support for children receiving medical treatment. Robin explains medical procedures to them, plays games and tells stories. and during treatment distracts them to reduce their sense of pain. The robot uses Al to understand other people's feelings, remembering facial expressions and conversations to build dialogue for follow-up sessions. In trials at theWigmore Medical (UK) Pediatric Clinic in Yerevan, Armenia, the team found that Robin led to a 34% decrease in stress and an increase in happiness of 26% in the 120 children who interacted with him at least once.Healthcare robots could all benefit from displaying emotional intelligence, both recognizing and responding to human emotions, and to some extent, managing them. The problem with this is the fear that human jobs may be lost as robots become better at handling social situations.Population trends suggest that the demand for robots to work alongside people in care situations will grow over time. By 2050, the number of people aged 65 and over globally will be 1.6 billion (17%), roughly twice the proportion of what it is today. An extra 3.5 million care workers will be needed and that will include emotionally intelligent robots.Today's simple systems are being trained to meet that demand. This includes a little wheeled robot that can guess how you are feeling from the way you walk, and the robot fromthe University of Lincoln in the UK - who helps elderly people to stay physically and mentally active.The impact of social robots on our lives to date has been tiny. But new models are being introduced that could make the breakthrough. Human emotions are difficult to define, but as trust in robots increases, breaking down the psychological barrier becomes easier to imagine.28. What are social robots uniquely capable of?A Lifting heavy packages upstairs for weak people.B. Teaching mentally ill teens emotional expressionsCooking delicious dishes for the disabled at homeC. Playing songs for blind people on their request.29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A Robin's function to reduce painC. Robin's practical application.B. Robin's popularity in hospitals.D. Robin's success in passing tests.34 .How is paragraph 4 developed?A. By concluding viewpoints C.By making comparison.B.By analyzing causesD. By giving definition35 . What does the author think of human job replacement by robots?A. It is already happening throughout UK.B. Humans need to work hard to secure jobsRobots can only meet basic human needsC. It's an unstoppable and beneficial trend.第二节(共5小题海小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Helping a stranger can be easier than advising someone we've known forever. When friends and family ask for advice, it is more complicated. 36 To give better advice, try less fixing and more listening.37 You should stay open if you can. Keep your hands free. Keep your face neutral and try to avoid looks of shock or judgment. If you look like you're tense or you're distracted, the person might not open up to you as much as you would want them to.You can't always give advice right now. Texts and FaceTime might be immediate, but your advice doesn't have to be. You can politely explain to someone that you want to give them your full attention when you're ready. 38You don't have to fix the problem. People who ask “What should I do?” often want to process a problem themselves. 39 A friend's priorities might not match your own, but that doesn't mean they're wrong.Pay attention to patterns. When you've known someone for years, you're a witness totheir patterns and repeated mistakes. Instead of saying, “ Ugh, you've said this 15,000 times,you can ask questions. " what do you think that means?” or “40can be a good onewhen you're trying to get someone to consider their own cycle. A. Body language matters.B. Listen to them carefullyWhat's wrong with you?C. What has worked for you before?D. Otherwise, you can do more harm than good.E. If we don't get it right, we could hurt someone we love.F.
