14、, I was sure Id made a huge mistake. Upon arriving home, I covered the mirror with a blanket, fell on my bed and sobbed. The next day, I 39 myself to go to school. At lunch my best friend Jesse tried to encourage me: “You cant 40 forever, Jenny. So what if you have a few scars Just go outside and sh

15、ow them that youre just as good as they are.” Although I knew he was right, I couldnt imagine standing up for myself like that. However, that night as I sat on the bed, my friends words replayed in my mind. Im 41 hiding from myself, I thought. How stupid! Slowly, I stood up, walked over to the 42 ,

16、and tossed the blanket aside. There, in the mirror I saw a slim, dark-haired, blue-eyed girl, looking just fine, 43 with a few scars. The next day I wore a comfortable T-shirt to school.

We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of f

21、amiliar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative meaning. So it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation (创新 ). But bra

22、in researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel （平行的） paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks. Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct o

23、ur own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become. But dont bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, theyre there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselve

24、s create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads. “The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder,” says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind. “But we are taught instead to decide, just as our president calls himself the Decider.” She adds, however, that “to decide is to k

25、ill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.” “All of us work through problems in ways of which were unaware,” she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four p

26、rimary ways: analytically, procedurally（程序上的） , collaboratively (合作地 ) and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life. The current emphasis on

27、standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought. “This breaks the major rule in the American belief systemthat anyone can do anything,” explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will and Ms. Markovas b

28、usiness partner. “Thats a lie that we have preserved, and it fosters（培养）commonness. Knowing what youre good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.” This is where developing new habits comes in. 【小题 1】 Brain researchers have discovered that .

32、was asked to state her occupation She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself “What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a ” “Of course I have a job,” said Emily “Im a mother.” “We dont list mother as an occupation housewife covers it,” said the recorder. One

33、day I found myself in the same situation The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title “What is your occupation ” she asked The words simply popped out “Im a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.” The clerk paused, ballpo

34、int pen frozen in midair. I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire. “Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field ” Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I hear

35、d myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesnt） , in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out) Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree ), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like

36、it) But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.” There was an increasing note of respect in the clerks voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托 ) by my glamorous new c

37、areer, I was greeted by my lab assistants-ages 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少

B The recorder

42、 1】 C【小题 1】 B The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruits and green vegetables. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say that when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to make special provisions t

43、o supply the missing vitamins. An example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as “beri-beri”, which used to make large numbers of Eastern people who lived mainly on rice suffer. In the early years of last century, a Dutch scientist named Eijkman was trying to discove

44、r the cause of beri-beri. At first he thought it was transmitted（传播）by a germ（病菌） . He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on polished rice which had had the outer coverings removed from the grain. It was thought this would be easier for weak and sick people to digest. Ei

45、jkman thought his germ theory was proved when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard, which were fed on remains from the patients plates, were also showing signs of the disease. He then tried to separate the germ, which he thought was causing the disease, but his experiments were interrupted b

46、y a hospital official, who ordered that the rice without coverings, even though left over by the patients, was too good for chickens. It should be recooked for the patients, and the chickens should be fed on cheap, rough rice with the outer coverings still on the grain. Eijkman noticed that the chic

47、kens began to recover on the new diet. He began to consider the possibility that eating unmilled rice（糙米） somehow prevented or cured beri-beri even that a lack of some ingredient （成分） in the coverings may be the cause of the disease. Indeed this was the case. The element needed to prevent beri-beri

48、was shortly afterwards separated from rice coverings and is now known as vitamin B. The milled rice, though more expensive, was in fact causing the disease the hospital was trying to cure. Nowadays, this terrible disease is much less common thanks to our knowledge of vitamins. 【小题 1】 According to the passage, a good mixed diet _. A is suitable for losing weight B should be only fruits and vegetables C normally contains enough vitamins D
