2．In the kitchen of my mother's houses there has always been a wooden stand（木架） with a small notepad（記事本） and a hole for a pencil.
I'm looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother.Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil，five houses later，the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did.Surely it can't be the same pencil.The pad is more modern，but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
"I'm just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years，" I say to her，walking back into the living room with a sheet of paper and the pencil."You still use a pencil.Can't you afford a pen？"
My mother replies a little sharply."It works perfectly well.I've always kept the stand in the kitchen.I never knew when I might want to note down an idea，and I was always in the kitchen in those days."
Immediately I can picture her，hair wild，blue housecoat covered in flour，a wooden spoon in one hand，the pencil in the other，her mouth moving silently.My mother smiles and says，"One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline，and I had a brilliant thought，but the stand was empty.One of the children must have taken the paper.So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back.It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on."
This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was，and is，as a gifted mathematician.I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work.Later，when my mother is in the bathroom，I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards.Sure enough，on the back of the smallest one，are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics.Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years，rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard，invisible（看不到的） exhibits at every meal.

3．There is some unwelcome news for students preparing for exams and officers putting in long hours—you don't need that "refreshment（提神） break" as much as you may think.
Scientists believed it was not easy for people to continue their work if they felt the need to have a snack or a rest to make them feel better.They argued that the only way to regain willpower is by supplying more energy to our bodies with rest，food or entertainment.
But psychologists have challenged this theory，saying weak willpower is in your head.They found that a person's mindset（理念） and belief about willpower determine how long and how well they'll be able to work on a tough mental exercise."If you think of willpower as something that's limited，you're more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task，" said Professor Veronika Job."But if you think of willpower as something that is not easily depleted，you can go on and on."
The researchers led by Mr.Job designed an experiment to test the students' beliefs about willpower.After a tiring task those who believed or were led to believe that willpower was a limited resource performed worse on standard concentration tests than those who thought of willpower as something they had more control over.
Mr.Job said，"Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their powers of concentration are limited，and they need to take frequent breaks.But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges."
The findings could help people who are battling with temptation（誘惑）：people following strict diets and doing exercise regularly to lose weight，people trying to overcome addictions，employees facing a tight deadline.Willpower isn't driven by a biologically based process as much as we used to think.
（1）What opinion did scientists have in the past？
A．Willpower was a limited resource.
B．It was hard to regain willpower.
C．Hardworking people seldom took breaks.
D．People could easily feel tired when working.
（2）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "depleted" in Paragraph 3？
A．Given up.
B．Recovered.
C．Used up.
D．Changed.
（3）What can we learn from the findings of the experiment？
A．Students benefit most from the research.
B．Frequent breaks are not good for learning.
C．Willpower can be regained after people have a good rest.
D．The belief in willpower can change a man's behavior.
（4）Why does the author write the text？
A．To explain the power of willpower.
B．To show us how to build willpower.
C．To tell us the ways of gaining willpower.
D．To introduce a new theory on willpower.組卷：10引用：1難度：0.5

It was a small town with nice landscapes that attracted a lot of rich people to live in.Ming was also attracted by the scenic spots of the town.But he had little money，so he rented a cheap house after he arrived.But what drew his attention most here was those wealthy people.So he took up a job to sell cell phones.But his cell phones were not good in quality.
One day，Ming's pocket was empty again and wanted to earn money.Luckily，there was still a phone in his pocket to sell.Soon enough，he spotted a target—a seemingly wealthy middle-aged man in an old jacket.Ming came up to him and smiled politely，saying，"Hey，friend..." But the man was very cautious and asked，"What's up？"
Ming said to him immediately，"Friend，I have a phone.I bought it at 5，000 yuan.But now I could sell it to you at only 3，000 yuan." The man seemed uninterested in his phone and wanted to go away.Ming stopped him and said，"What about 2，000 yuan？" the man shouted at him，"What do you want to do with me？"
Ming immediately put up a poor face and hugged the man's legs，crying to him，"Oh，my dear friend!Only 1，000 yuan，is it OK？" Ming began pouring out his "sad story" as he was crying.The man，after seeing this，felt a little bit moved and put his hands into his pocket.Then he took out 1，000 yuan to Ming and took the phone away.
After earning 1，000 yuan，Ming felt happy.As he felt hungry，he went to a small restaurant to have lunch.Ming ordered several dishes and handed over a note of 100 yuan to the cashier.The cashier stared at the banknote（鈔票） for quite a while，as if checking if it was a fake note（假幣），and then said to Ming，"Sorry，I could not find the change for you for the moment.Please wait a minute." Then he went away.Staying in the restaurant without anything to do，Ming sat at a table and started to watch TV.After all，his cheap-rented house had no TV.
Paragraph 1：
The TV was broadcasting a piece of news._______
Paragraph 2：
The police car stopped before the small restaurant and two policemen came out of the car and arrested Ming._________組卷：14引用：1難度：0.3
