Have you ever wondered how the trainers at Sea World get the 19,000-pound whale to jump 22 feet out of water and perform tricks? They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine． (1) . So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce(强化) the behavior that they want repeated — in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope． (2) , in a position where the whale can't help but do what's expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it's given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. (3) . Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope． It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn't starve．
(4) . Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize． People know they need help when they mess up. (5) , people will not forget the event and usually will not repeat it.
So we need to set up the circumstances so that people can't fail. Over-celebrate, under-criticize…and know how far to raise the rope．

I work at a community library． Many people are under the assumption that public libraries are no longer needed because of the Internet． Nothing could be further from the truth． (1) ． A simple Internet search for \"cats\" produces approximately 2.98 billion results in less than one second． It is a huge number! How do you even begin to sort through all of those results？ We hear so much about \"false news\"． (2) ． Librarians are there to help． They have been trained， through special classes and workshops， to sort through all of the results and find credible sources． Author Neil Gaiman said， \"Google can bring you back 100， 000 answers． A librarian can bring you back the right one．\"
(3) ． It helps connect people with the resources they need to find a job， continue their education， and learn new skills． It helps seniors find the resources they need to keep up with the \"modern\" world． It helps new parents develop a love for literacy in their children and bond with them．It helps local artists and craftsmen display their work． It helps students find the answers to those seemingly impossible homework questions． It allows people to meet and exchange ideas．
Libraries are so much more than books and information． Yes， there are public computers， Internet access， movies， music， programs and a thousand other things． (4) ． They are places where people feel safe and welcomed． They are places where someone who has limited resources can freely access materials and equipment they wouldn't otherwise be able to． They can， at times， be a harbor for someone who needs a quiet place to work or study． Some of the best memories of my childhood involve going to the local library and in
speaking with many others in the neighborhood， they too have those same memories． They are presently making those same memories with their children and their grandchildren． (5) ． I don't see the Internet doing that．
A．We don't know what sources to trust．
B．The public library helps people better their lives． C．The importance of library staff comes to the surface．
D．However， libraries' meaning and relevance goes even beyond that． E．The public library brings people together to build a strong community．
F．In fact， it is because of the Internet that public libraries are needed now more than ever． G．Every day children， students and adults use libraries to learn， grow and achieve their dreams． 21. A. A

How much do you know about colors? The colors that you select create a distinct atmosphere in the room. (1) E.
Pick the color for your room and you can create whatever you feel like. The color will also help you to enlarge the space or making it more inviting, which will also make differently all about it.
However, the trick is to select the right version of that particular color. There are different hues (色调) for blues, for instance. (2) Here we have presented a guide that will let you gain a deep insight about the colors. Blue
(3) For kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms it is an ideal choice. Of course it is also associated with sadness that means it may not strike note for each and everyone. It is a popular choice among people. Blue comes from the cold side of the color wheel, so it can make the room feel cold, unless and until it is south filling space. If you are attracted to blue color, think of going for purple, or mix red and purple.
Dark blue is best for a living room. Probably it is best reserved for high ceiling space. (4) Green
Like blue, green is also a calm shade. (5) It is the shade that reflects nature and renewal. Green produces a positive energy without the feeling of over stimulation. A. Colors can light up the mood of the room. B. You can use it for a living room or a bedroom.
C. They won't create similar effect and atmosphere generally. D. Traditionally, blue is just related to calmness and comfort. E. It is better that you select colors that are very warm like blue. F. Dark blue will really make you feel the wall appear near to you. G. But before diving into any decision, here's what you need to know. 26. A. A B. B C. C D. D

What's the purpose of building patience abilities？ In a word， happiness． Better relationships， more success． But indeed it takes effort to build them successfully． (1) Thus， when the big ones come， we will have developed the patience we need for hard times． Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience． We， human beings， are still constructed with our old reptilian（爬行动物似的） brain that protects our physical and emotional survival． On the emotional survival side， we want our way to get ahead， to achieve， to \"look good． \" Let's just face it． (2) So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience-anger， impatience， blaming and shaming． We all have them． And we can grow beyond them．
Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain． Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions-we try to change the other person， situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort． But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that's the source of our pain， but how our mind is set． (3) Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts． Most of us don't really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest-but very present-painful feelings． (4) But to really care for ourselves， get curious about what's actually happening in the moment inside you． Focusing on what's actually happening， you can notice the worry of not wanting what 's happening， the resistance．
(5) When you find yourself impatient， or angry with yourself， you can remind yourself that you are growing， and that， \"Sure， this is understandable； this is what happens to me when I'm bothered．\" You can say to yourself， \" It's true． I don't like this； this is uncomfortable， but I can tolerate it．

Smart devices are sometimes powerful． They put a world of information at our
fingertips． (1) That is a huge blessing for parents seeking flexible work hours． Smart phones and tablets can also promote efficiency by allowing people to get things done in spare moments that would otherwise be wasted， such as while queuing for coffee． They can even help lazybones create the false impression that they are working around the clock， by programming their e-mail to be sent at 1 am．
But for most people， the servant has become the master． Not long ago only doctors were on call all the lime． Now everybody is． Bosses think nothing of invading their employees' free time． (2) Even people with strong mind check their smart devices with heavy addiction， even during pre-dinner drinks， and send e-mails first thing in the morning and last thing at night．
(3) How can we harvest the benefits of connectivity without becoming its slaves？ One solution is digital dieting． Just as the abundance of junk food means that people have to be more disciplined about their eating habits， (4) Maybe the only way to break the 24/7 habit is to act together rather than individually． The firms should introduce rules about when people are expected to be offline， and encourage them to work together to make this possible． We must be aware that the faster smart devices become and the more addictive the apps that are designed for them， the stronger the addiction will grow． (5) A． This is partly because smart devices are addictive．
B． Work invades the home far more than domestic chores invade the office．
C． Now it's time to outsmart the smart devices by insisting that everyone turn them off from time to lime．
D． the abundance of junk information means we have to be more disciplined about our browsing habits．
E． Banning texting at weekends can really show the iPhone who is boss．
F． They enable people to work at home instead of crowding into the subway with smelly strangers．
G． What can be done to keep smart devices in their place？

Fit reviewing into everyday life by sticking up notes with sentences you need to remember for the test written upon them． (4) You could possibly put one on the bathroom mirror，one at the table and another by the TV．This is optional but highly recommended． (5) Find out how much you remember certain things and what's missing．Decide what you did well in and what you did not so well in．This may boost your chances of getting more marks in the assessment and may also help you remember for next time．For instance，if you are struggling on maths problems based on geometry，then put this down as something that you need to review more than the subjects you are good at． Review often but little．
Do not push yourself and try reviewing everything in one day．Practice takes time and if you rush，you won't remember anything． A. Go through what you have been learning． B. Mark your practice tests．
C. As long as you remain focused on the main topics，you will be able to do well on the test． D. However，even the worst test performance could be turned around into a successful attempt． E.

象， \"Competitionis a common phenomenon in our social life ．\"为一句总起句， 下一句提到存在竞争的其他方
面， \"There isconstant competition for academic degrees ， jobs， customers， money and so forth． \"因此， 此空应该起承上启下的作用． 既会谈到竞争， 也会涉及到竞争的具体某些方面， 此空则讲当我们在玩游戏\"when we play games\"和学习要比别人做得更好时就会竞争 when we try to do better than others in our study， 这些都是竞争的具体表现， 故选 G。

\"In the natural world， the weak will be replaced by the strong and the fittest can live．\"在自
弱肉强食， 适者生存， \"Therefore， the only way to survive is to be competitive． \"然界中，
所以生存的唯一途径就是竞争。此题干扰项
\"为了适应为 E\"Children have to learn to be competitive in order to adapt to modern society．
现代社会， 孩子们不得不学会有竞争力。 虽然下文有提
