Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 40 points Text1 Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-p

11、ilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting herd, ” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever -changing 21st century, even the word “habit”ies a negative connotation. So it seems antithetical to talk about habits in

12、 the same context as creativity and innovation. But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel synaptic paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks. But dont bother trying to kill off

13、 old habits ； once those ruts of procedure are worn into the hippocampus, they re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberatel y ingrain into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads. “The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder,” says Dawna

14、Markova, author of “The Open Mind” and an executive change consultant for Professional Thinking Partners. “Bare taught instead to decide, just as our president calls himself the Decider.” She adthat “to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring

15、the many other possibili ties.”All of us work through problems in ways of which were unaware, she says. Researchers in the late 1960 covered that humans are born with the capacity to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, relationally or collaboratively and innovativel

16、y. At puberty, however, the brain shuts down half of that capacity, preserving only those modes of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life. The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us inherently use our i

17、nnovative and collaborative modes of thought. “This breaks the major rule in the American belief system - that anyone can do anything,” explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book “This Year I Will.” and Ms. Markovas business partner. “That s a lie that we have perpetuated, and it fosters commonnes

18、s. Knowing what you re good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.” This is where developing new habits comes in.21.

All he needs to do is shell our $30 for patesting kit PTK at his local drugstore - and another

22、$120 to get the results. More than 60,000 people have purchased the PTKs since they first become available without prescriptions last years, according to Doug Fog, chief operating officer of Identigene, which makes the over-the-counter kits.

All tests require a potential candidate with whom to compare DNA. But some observers are skeptical, “There is a kind of false precision being hawked by people ”claimin

25、g they are doing ancestry testing, says Trey Duster, a N ew YorkUniversity sociologist. He notes that each individual has many ancestors-numbering in the hundreds just a few centuries back. Yet most ancestry testing only considers a single lineage, either the Y chromosome inherited through men in a

26、father or mitochondrial DNA, which a passed down only from mothers. This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two ancestors, even though, for example, just three generations back people also have six other great-grandparents or, four generations back, 14 other great-great-grandparent

27、s. Critics also argue that commercial genetic testing is only as good as the reference collections to which a sample is compared. Databases used by some companies dont rely on data collected systematically but rather lump together information from different research projects. This means that a DNA d

28、atabase may differ depending on the company that processes the results. In addition, the computer programs a company uses to estimate relationships may be patented and not subject to peer review or outside evaluation. 26.In paragraphs 1 and 2 , the text shows PTKs _.3 / 11 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 3 页,

32、ans alike progress in both area is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political and intellectual development of these and all other societies； however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is w

33、rong. We are fortunate that is it, because new educational systems there and putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the j

34、ob to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living. Ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States. Not long ago, with the country entering a recessing and Japan at its pre-bubble peak. The U.S. workforce was derided as poorly

35、 educated and one of primary cause of the poor U.S. economic performance. Japan was, and remains, the global leader in automotive-assembly productivity. Yet the research revealed that the U.S. factories of Honda Nissan, and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their Japanese count

38、it. After all, that how education got started. When our ancestors were hunters and gatherers 10,000 years ago, they didn have time to wonder much about anything besides finding food. Only when humanity began to get its food in a more productive way was there time for other things. As education impro

39、ved, humanitys productivity potential, they could in turn afford more education. This increasingly high level of education is probably a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for the complex political systems required by advanced economic performance. Thus poor countries might not be able to es

40、cape their poverty traps without political changes that may be possible only with broader formal education. A lack of formal education, however, do esn constrain the ability of the developing world workforce to substantially improve productivity for the forested future. On the contrary, constraints
