Prof Jeff Johnson thinks an on­board “comedian” could keep spirits up during the long journey. He is drawing on his research on the differing team building approaches of competing polar explorers Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott to prove his point. Amundsen's team made it to the South Pole and back while Scott's died on the return journey.Well, Roald Amundsen actually put people through tests before they set off to make sure that they would take orders and, in particular, whether they would challenge any of them. Amundsen would set up situations where there would be an ambiguous context to see what their responses would be, and if somebody questioned him, they were out. However, if you read Amundsen's diary, he writes that Lindstrom, the cook, was basically the most important person on the expedition.Lindstrom was the comedian. He didn't actually go to the South Pole, but you've got to remember that the walking expedition was a small component of the overall time that they were on the ice. They were there for well over a year, waiting to walk to the Pole. They had to wait during the winter and it's a very tense time when people are idle(懒散的). Lindstrom played an essential role in keeping the peace in the group when there were tense moments, and he would do something funny to get everybody to laugh, which would break the tension.There are individuals who have these certain natural abilities that you want to be able to recognise and include when you're putting together groups that are going to be isolated, such as those going into space. There are a number of different roles that we've discovered are important, but one of them is somebody who has humour. That's clearly important. So, you'd want to have somebody like Lindstrom, somebody who is not only good at what they have to do (he was a very good cook) but who also has another skillset beyond what's in the job description.We can put people together thinking that they're going to work together in a certain way, but over the course of time a crisis is bound to happen. There are the kinds of things that make groups more adaptable and help them function better. You can think about it in terms of atoms: when you put different elements together, they produce different kinds of things. It's the same with people. They may have their own characteristics, but when you put them together, they're going to create a different kind of situation and we want to have a better idea of what that might be.()24.

What was the very quality Amundsen was valuing in his interview?A. Willingness to take orders. B. Optimism about success.C. Eagerness to make progress. D. Curiosity about mysteries.()26. For what reason was Lindstrom regarded as a key figure on the expedition?A. He went against the command of Amundsen in every circumstance.B. He could make up many jokes about other team members to ease tension.C. Besides cooking tasty dishes, he was capable of easing tension when it arose.D. When a vacancy appeared, he was always ready to fill it in and made it work.()27. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Comedians, keys to landing on Mars B. Atoms, roles of members in a teamC. Teamwork, secret to overall success D. Amundsen, example for group leadersCA dozen international coffee experts shuffle(把脚挪来挪去) around a long wooden table, pausing at each steaming cup, heads dipping and sniffing deeply. Then the slurping(吃喝或吸吮的声音) begins. In the wings, coffee farmer Yang Fan watches intently as the judges circle, awaiting a verdict(裁定) on her latest crop of beans.China may be the spiritual home of tea, but it is fast developing a reputation as a top coffee producer. This tasting was a side event to the first ever Pu'er International Specialty Coffee Expo in China's southwestern Yunnan Province, which ran this winter and drew more than a thousand attendees, including industry aficionados(酷爱者) from across the globe.“Coffee has huge potential in China，” says Liu Ying, who swapped her life working in private­equity(私人股权) investment in Beijing to grow coffee in Pu'er five years ago. “The younger generation prefers to drink coffee in their offices much more than tea.” Still, Pu'er remains synonymous with tea.This bustling(喧闹的) town near the Laos border is surrounded by the green hills scored with tea plantations; it produces a variety of tea which is also called Pu'er, considered one of China's most refined. But the region's mild climate is also perfect for growing Arabica coffee. And as China's fast­living millennials move away from traditional tea in favour of the invigorating coffee, Pu'er's farmers are catering to the demand.Yunnan accounts for 98% of China's coffee harvest, with half coming from the misty landscape around Pu'er. Today, China is the 13th biggest coffee producer in the worldrising from zero output three decades ago to 136，000 tons annually today.In April, Seattle's annual Specialty Coffee Expo decided to showcase China as its portrait country of origin. It follows on the heels of Starbucks' launching its first single­origin Yunnan coffee last year after eight years of partnership with Yunnan farmers.With global coffee prices at record lows, Yunnan farmers are processing beans in bespoke ways to create distinct flavoursallowing them to enter the market of specialty coffee.“At current coffee prices, I can't even feed my family，” says the farmer Yang. “My only way out is to produce specialty coffee, to make the best coffee beans.” That means letting beans dry in their cherries, thus producing a wild, fruity flavour via environmental fermentation(发酵), or allowing them to “honey” in their sugary inner layer, which adds a subtle sweetness.Back in the tasting room, Yang awaits the experts' verdict on whether all that extra_effort was worthwhile. “If I told you this was Colombian or Panama coffee, nobody would argue with me，” says Samuel Gurel, CEO of Pu'er's Torch Coffee Roasters, as Yang breaks into a huge grin. “It's a great example of how Chinese coffee is evolving.”()28. What caused Liu Ying to quit her former job to grow coffee in Pu'er?A. Yunnan accounts for 98% of China's coffee harvest.B. There is a huge potential of coffee market in China.C. She wants to introduce the younger generation to coffee.D. She is tired of her work in private­equity investment.()29. According to the passage, we know that Arabica coffee _A. is mainly grown in YunnanB. appeals to Chinese, especially the youngC. is a more invigorating drink compared with teaD. needs mild climate to grow()30. The “extra effort” in the last paragraph refers to _A. processing coffee beans in bespoke ways to create distinct flavoursB. forming a business partnership with StarbucksC. lowering the price of Yunnan coffee beansD. replacing Yunnan coffee with Colombian or Panama coffee()31. What does Samuel Gurel think of Yang's coffee beans?A. Praiseworthy. B. Arguable. C. Inferior. D. Unsatisfactory.DDo you know the proverb “no pains, no gains”？ It gives the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It seems that the only way to know if we're putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear. We are totally taken up with study, shutting ourselves away for a big exam. Is that necessarily true?When we haven't taken the time to come up with another idea, we just shut ourselves in a room with a book. It's no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off. Shutting ourselves away can make us learn to hate studying, leading to a situation where, instead of being able to concentrate on our work, we are troubled by how unfair it is that we must study. This can be part of a vicious(恶性的) cycle that traps us into ineffective revision, or poor progress fueling further annoyance.Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fight against that. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions(分心). It's not necessary to avoid all company, just lazy company. They constantly try to keep others in conversation. While studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. Of course, it's also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities where you would rather be playing than studying. Working_while_sitting_next_to_someone_playing_video_games_is_most_likely_to_end_with_a_new_high_score_in_games_rather_than_productive_revision.If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you. Besides, we should know friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation. And connecting with other people makes us happy, so it's important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialise.()32. What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A. To introduce an effective studying means.B. To encourage us to work as hard as possible.C. To remind us to balance activities and study.D. To discuss the importance of family company.()33. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Good ideas are needed in terms of progress.B. Ways that interest us can lead to effective revision.C. Shutting ourselves away can help concentrate on work.D. Revision is interesting and easy with study techniques for certain.()34. What does the un
