According to a new study, people are 26 accurate judges of only some of their behaviors. While most previous studies on
5、how well people know themselves have been done on long-term personality traits, this new study 27 how well people understand how they are acting from one moment to the next. Researchers asked participants to wear audio recorders that automatically 28 every 9.5 minutes between 7 a.m. and 2 a.m. to re
6、cord 30 seconds of audio. These participants were then emailed surveys four times a day asking them to 29 how outgoing, agreeable, or conscientious they were during a particular hour of the day. The study used data from 248 participants, all of whom answered questions about their behavior for two 30
7、 weeks and wore the audio device for one of those weeks.Six laboratory assistants rated each participants audio clips to see how their observations compared with peoples 31 of themselves. The six assistants were generally in agreement with one another about how the people they were observing acted.
8、Further, participants ratings of their own behaviors agreed with observers for how outgoing and how conscientious they were being. But the agreement between participants and outside observers was much smaller for agreeableness. Some of this 32 could be because the observers used only audio clips, an
9、d thus could not read 33 like body language, but there are 34 other explanations, as people should be able to hear when a participant is being kind versus being rude. The weak agreement between how participants thought they were acting and what observers heard could be because people would rather 35

12、Sheet 2.Why we need tiny collegesA) Were experiencing the rebirth of smallness. Farmers markets, tiny homes, and brew pubs all exemplify our love of smallness. So do charter schools, coffee shops, and local bookstores. Small is often (but not always) more affordable, healthier, and sustainable, but
13、its finest characteristic, the one that turns charm into love, is that going small allows us to be more fully who we are.B) In higher education the trend is mostly in the opposite direction: Universities with 20,000 or 30,000students are considered mid-sized. The nations largest university, Arizona
14、State University, has 80,000 students on campus and aims to enroll another 100,000 students online. At the other end of the spectrum is a handful of colleges that have fewer than a hundred students on campus and no online courses: colleges such as Sterling College, Thomas More College of Liberal Art
15、s, and Deep Springs College. These colleges are so small that they can only be called tiny.C) Tiny colleges focus not just on a young persons intellect, but on the young person as a whole. Equally important, tiny colleges ask, How can education contribute to human flourishing and the well-being of t
16、he world? And they shape a college experience to address that question. They replace concerns about institutional growth with attention to the growth of students as fully developed participants in their communities.D) Ive had the privilege of teaching at three different institutions of higher learni
17、ng during my career-a small liberal arts college and two mid-sized public universities. Ive also been profoundly disappointed in each of these institutions, and in many of my colleagues, especially when it comes to helping students and preparing them for the many responsibilities of adulthood. Admin
18、istrators focus on the business of running a university, and most faculty focus on their scholarship and teaching their discipline. Little deliberate attention is given to how students mature as individuals and social beings.E) Having just retired from teaching at a public university, Im now returni
19、ng to my hometown of Flagstaff, Arizona, to establish a tiny collegeFlagstaff College. Im convinced theres a need for another type of education, one devoted to helping students come into their own and into this beautiful and troubled world. Young people need an education that will provide them with
20、meaning, hope, courage, and passion, as well as information and skills. Large institutions, I believe, are particularly ill-suited to this type of education.F) Theres no best of list when it comes to tiny colleges, at least not yet. But around the country people are creating new colleges that provid
21、e an alternative to small liberal arts colleges, large public universities, and online education.G) With only 26 students, Deep Springs is the smallest college in the country and, quite likely, the most atypical (非典型的). Located on a working cattle ranch on the California-Nevada border, Deep Springsi
22、s a private, residential, two-year college for men, committed to educating students for a life of service to humanity. Founded by the electricity tycoon ( 大亨) L.L. Nunn in 1917, Deep Springs curriculum revolves around academics, labor, and self-governance. In addition to their courses, students are
23、charged with running the 155-acre ranch and overseeing the functioning of the college. Students chair both the admissions and the curriculum committees.H) Living in close community with ones teachers and fellow students, and being forced to take on adult responsibilities, makes for ones growth as a
24、person, says William Hunt, who graduated last year. To exist for very long in a community like that, you have to get over the question of whether youre sufficiently talented or principled and get started worrying about how you can stretch yourself and your peers, how much you can manage to learn wit
25、h them.I) Sterling College, in Craftsbury Common, Vermont, is also very small-fewer than 100 students. Unlike Deep Springs, Sterling focuses its curriculum on environmental and social justice issues, but like Deep Springs it places a high value on personal responsibility and manual labor. According
26、to its catalog, a college education at Sterling combines rigorous academics, roll-up-your-sleeves challenges, and good old hard work.J) The average tuition at a small liberal-arts college is $30,000 to $40,000 a year, not including the cost of living on campus, as compared to $8,000 to $10,000 a yea
27、r for tuition alone at a public university. Of the tiny colleges, only Deep Springs doesnt charge tuition or room and board; students pay only for books and the cost of traveling to and from college. If tiny schools are to become a player on the higher education scene, they will need to find a way t
28、o be truly affordable.K) Doing so may not be that difficult so long as they do not pattern themselves too closely on existing norms. Weve come to believe that a good college should have many academic programs and excellent facilities, posh (豪华的) dorms, an array of athletic programs, and a world-clas
29、s student activity center. Imagine a good college without a climbing wall! We also have accepted the idea that college presidents, and their many vice-presidents, should be paid like their counterparts in the business world and that higher education requires an elaborate, up-to-date technology infra
30、structure. All of this drives up the cost of education.L) The trick to making tiny colleges affordable, if thats the right word, is simplicity. At its core, education is a human-to-human interaction. Reflecting on his own college education, President Garfield once commented that an ideal college wou
31、ld consist of nothing more than the legendary teacher Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and a student on the other. The economics of a tiny college, in other words, might be similar to that of a tiny house. Because it is small, a tiny house costs less to build and less to furnish, insure, and maintai
32、n. But the economic benefits of a small house dont end there. Tiny homes discourage homeowners from buying stuff that they really dont need, because theres no place to put it.M) Im a late convert to the idea of tiny colleges, and I fully understand the need for many diverse types of educational inst
33、itutions. Academic research and job training are important, but tiny colleges arent suited for either. The educational needs of a complex society are themselves complex, and no single model can meet all of these needs. But Im now convinced theres an educational need thats now going almost completely
34、 unmet: namely, the need to help young people transition into adulthood. Tiny colleges can do this better than any other type of educational institution.N) The ultimate justification for a tiny college is the conviction that each of us comes into our full humanity by close interaction with those who
35、 know and care for us, and that one of the basic purposes of higher education is social. Although we give lip service to the idea that a college education will make us better people, when alls said and done, we think of higher education primarily in economic terms. Weve come to think of higher educa
36、tion as a means to make a living rather than make a life. Weve also come to see higher education as a private good rather than a public one. Tiny colleges are not the answer to all of our educational requirements, but theyre an answer to one of our most basic educational necessities; the needto prod
37、uce thoughtful, engaged, and compassionate human beings.36. One tiny American college situated on a cattle farm is devoted to educating students to serve mankind throughout their lives.37. Much to the authors disappointment, the three institutions of higher learning where she taught largely ignore s
38、tudents growth as social beings.38. Tiny colleges must be made affordable in order to play a role in higher education.39. According to a recent graduate from a tiny college, living together with faculty and fellow students is conducive to a students growth as a person.40. Rather than going small, mo
39、st American universities are trying to go big.41. In a certain tiny college, rigorous academic work and traditional manual labor are integrated.42. Tiny colleges focus on educating students to become well-rounded citizens instead of seeking their own expansion.43. The essence of education lies in th
40、e interaction between people.44. After her retirement, the author has decided to set up a tiny college in her hometown.45. Tiny colleges are justified as it is believed that our growth into full humanity comes through interaction with people near and dear to us.Section CDirections: There are 2 passa
41、ges in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions
42、46 to 50 are based on the following passage.If youre someone who has turned to snacking on junk food more in the pandemic ( 大流行病), youre not alone. Investigative reporter Michael Moss says processed food is engineered to hook you, not unlike alcohol, cigarettes, or other harmful substances. His 2013
43、 book, Salt Sugar Fat, explored food companies aggressive marketing of those products and their impact on our health. In his new book, Hooked, Moss updates the food giants efforts to keep us eating what they serve, and how theyre responding to complaints from consumers and health advocates.Processed
44、 food is inexpensive, its legal, and its everywhere. Companies advertising is cueing us to remember those products and we want those products constantly. So the food environment is one of those key things that makes food even more problematic for so many people. Memory, nostalgia (怀旧) in particular,
45、 plays a big role in the foods we crave. Soda companies discovered that if they put a soda in the hands of a child when theyre at a ball game with their parents, that soda will forever be associated with that joyous moment. Later in life, when that child wants to experience a joyous moment, theyre g
46、oing to think of soda. Many people seek comfort in the snacks they remember from childhood.Moss examines the way companies capitalize on our memories, cravings and brain chemistry to keep us snacking.One of the reasons I came to think that some of these food products are even more powerful, more tro
47、ublesome than drugs can be is memory. What we eat is all about memory. And we begin forming memories for food at a really early age. And we keep those memories for a lifetime. Knowing this, the food industry spends lots of time trying to shape the memories that we have for their products. One of the
48、 features of addiction that scientists studying drug addiction discovered back in the 1990s was that the faster a substance hits the brain, the more apt we are as a result to act impulsively. Theres nothing faster than food in its ability to hit the brain. For Moss, this puts the notion of fast food
49、 in an entirely new light as this isnt limited to fast food chains-almost 90% of food products in grocery stores are processed foods. Everything in the industry is about speed, from manufacturing to packaging.Overall, Moss outlines the industrys dependence on making their products inexpensive, superde
