A month ago, I broke a nail. My other nails looked amazing, but now one was a mess. Clearly, there was no point in keeping the others, so I took out the nail scissors to cut them all off.
“What are you doing, Mom?” my daughter cried. “Your nails look great! Don’t cut them!” “But they’re ruined,” I said, waving the broken one in her face. “They’re not ruined,” she said. “You still have nine nails left!”
I hesitated, with the scissors still in my hand. My nails certainly weren’t perfect anymore, and the opposite of perfect is ruined, right?
I mean, this is how I think about most things: It’s all or nothing. Take my finances for example.
I can spend weeks being sensible and buying only essential items, such as food for my family.
And then one day, I’ll see something expensive that I really like and buy it.
Then, I think to myself “Well, I already spent $100 on that dress last week, so I may as well spend $50 on this lipstick ” and give up saving entirely.
I’ve thought about why I act this way, but I don’t know what causes this behavior. I seem to go from “good” to “complete catastrophe (灾难)” in a matter of moments. My brain only sees “perfect” or “disaster”, which is extremely unhelpful.
We humans are never just good or bad – we are far more complex. We have wins and we have losses and, occasionally, they are hard to tell apart.
Some people understand this instinctively, while others struggle.
For most of us, learning not to do the thing we’re used to requires effort and discomfort. However, we should remind ourselves that we sometimes make mistakes, and that this doesn’t mean we’ve failed.
We need to accept that things will sometimes go wrong.
Indeed, failure is part of life. We all fall occasionally, and we normally get straight back up.
And so, with my daughter’s words ringing in my ears, I decided to keep my nine nice nails.
I feel annoyed every time I look at my hands, but I’m determined to live with my choice. It’s a perfect exercise in imperfection.
Maybe soon, I’ll switch off my computer the next time I feel like I might buy something else I don’t need, although I may need my daughter there to guide me again. 40. Why did the author want to cut off her nails? A. Her daughter didn’t like the way they looked. B. She didn’t want to have imperfect nails.
C. She wanted to prevent them from being broken.
5 / 15
D. It is inconvenient to do housework with long nails. 41. What was the author’s problem with her life? A. She was too careful with her finances. B. She couldn’t recover from failure.
C. She looked at life in an extreme way. D. She was easily annoyed by others.
42. What did the author think of failure eventually? A. It can lead to complete disaster in life. B. It is a normal part of life.
C. It is something we need to overcome. D. It can help people to be stronger. 43. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The cause of my inadvisable choices. B. The way to avoid the extremes.
C. The effect of living with my choice D. The proper attitude to imperfection

Last September, Dobbs Ferry School District joined a small but growing number of schools around the US that have started pushing back their middle and high school start times in an effort to prevent students from being groggy.
Dr. Lisa Brady, the head teacher of the schools, tells Business Insider that in the past 2015-16 school year, middle school started at 8:15 a.m. and high school at 7:30 a.m. Under the new policy, each school now starts and ends 45 minutes later. Both schools have benefited a lot, Brady says.
Following a survey at the end of the school year, Brady says “it was clear from both the parents and the kids, that the mornings were just less stressful.”
Many of the kids reported having more time to eat breakfast and get ready for school, while parents said they didn’t have to drag kids out of bed or yell at them to hurry up. Once students got to school, they felt more active. At night, they tended to go to bed at the same time, even though the new schedule leaves them an extra 45 minutes.
Tony is also a math teacher, and he says, kids seem more relaxed now in the campus and his students already produce better work steadily, even though the schedule just a month old. Around the campus, kids seem more relaxed now that they’re not juggling as much work as early in the day.
Negative responses to later start times are rare, but they do happen.
Brady says some parents at Dobbs Ferry have found it harder to complete the necessary morning routines and get to work on time. Meanwhile, Tony says the problem for school is finding enough buses for kids. And some students say once they finally get home, many say

they have less time for all the homework they’ve been assigned.
44. What does the underlined word “groggy” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Active. B. Ill. C. Weak D. Sleepy.
45. Under the new policy, when does the high school begin in the Dobbs Ferry School District? A. 8:15 a.m. B. 9:00 a.m. C. 7:30 a.m. D. 8:05 a.m. 46. Which of the following is not a result of the new school policy? A. Students can have more sleep than before.
B. Both the parents and the kids have less stressful mornings. C. The time that students spend at school remains unchanged. D. Students are making progress in study.
47. What’s the author’s attitude towards the policy of later start times? A. Subjective. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Negative.

Smart cities are coming. And you can be sure that hackers (黑客) won’t be very far behind. We’ve already gotten a glimpse of that future, as cities across the globe start to use technology to connect their services and people in ways that were science film just a few years ago. They are using sensors to collect data — such as traffic, garbage collecting, and road conditions —and then using that data to deliver services to more people and more efficiently.
But this rush to become a smart city has a major weakness: The more connected a city is, the easier it is to cyber-attacks. Hackers have, in recent years, effectively held cities hostage through ransom ware (赎金器), sometimes damaging critical systems for months at a time. The damage can cost millions to repair, as Baltimore and Atlanta have discovered.
And this is just the beginning. As cities add connectivity to their streetlights, power grids, dams, transit lines and other services, they are adding more targets that are possible to be hacked. What’s more, as additional information on people is collected, officials worry the result —lots of data could attract nation-states or terrorists who could use the data to launch physical and cyber war.
What cyber security lesson can’t be taught in this hack? For example: Don’t open email attachments from unfamiliar sources; don’t click on unrecognized links; don’t leave sensitive information visible on the walls or surfaces of your office. But let’s just stick to the most important lesson: The information you share on social media can be used to profile and target you, whether that’s by engineering click bait (点击诱饵) aimed at your particular interests, guessing your password based on your birthday or figuring out your schedule and travels so that an intruder can access your home or office.
Wednesday, September 18, 2019 THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. 48. What did people use to think of smart cities? A. It was the product of science. C. It existed in imagination.
B. It was sure to be popular. D. It improved people’s life.
7 / 15
49. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3? A. Introduce the harm of hackers. B. Show the danger of a smart city. C. Add some background information. D. Summarize the previous paragraphs. 50. What is officials’ attitude to big data? A. It is convenient to provide service. B. It is certain to bring about progress. C. There are actually potential dangers. D. There’s competition in high technology.
51. What does the underlined word \"profile\" in Para.5 mean?
B. Protect. C. Impress. D. Fund.

Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and he fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If he is introduced to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest headed chatterbox (喋喋不休的人). He knows that ninety nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure (蜡塑人像).
The aim of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito. But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.
Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people’s ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening, during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time, they just prove themselves to be successful conversationalist.
52. According to the author, people make conversation to ______. A. exchange ideas B. prove their value C. achieve success in life D. overcome their fear of silence
53. The underlined phrase “the buzzing of a fly” (Para.1), the author means ______. A. meaningless talks B. the noise of an insect
8 / 15
A. Describe.
C. a low whispering sound D. the voice of a chatterbox 54. According to the passage, people usually talk to their neighbors ______. A. about whatever they have prepared B. in order not to be a fool in a group
C. in the hope of learning something new D. in the hope of getting on well
55. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To discuss why people like talking about weather. B. To encourage people to join in conversations. C. To persuade people to stop making noises. D. To explain why people keep talking.
