26、 Your teacher hands back a test and you did poorly. At this moment, you wish you could hide from the world. 【1】 But according to a research, what’s more important is how you react in the long term. Scientists say students can be divided into two groups. The first, called “mastery-oriented learners” view poor results as challenges to do better in the future. The second, called “helpless learners” will respond just by giving up.
【2】 But surprisingly, this attitude is even more important than a student’s natural intelligence. However smart, eventually you’ll come across question you cannot answer. When you do, it’s important not to fall victim to helplessness. Learned helplessness was first discovered in an experiment where some dogs suffered from electrical shocks they couldn’t escape from. Later, their feeling of helplessness was so strong that they made no attempt to escape even when they could.
So what makes you a different learner? 【3】 Mastery-oriented learners believe hard work is the key to success. Faced with failure, they simply conclude they need to try harder. However, helpless learners believe intelligence is inborn. 【4】 Thus, when they have difficulties they conclude they are not smart enough and that improving on their intelligence isn’t possible.
If you want to be a mastery-oriented person, you can. 【5】 If you think you can do better, keep trying and the results will surely follow.
A.Start by not letting negative results discourage you.
B.It’s feeling many students are familiar with.
C.It all comes down to your idea of intelligence.
D.That’s because you should have worked hard.
E.Whether you’re intelligent, ambition counts.
F.To them, success in school seems to rely on natural talent and ability.
G.As you would expect, the first group performs better than the second.
27、People who love to spend time in their kitchen know that after having a rough day it helps them to relieve stress. Cooking up a favorite meal helps you forget about any of the issues you were focused on during the day. 【1】 Spending time alone in the kitchen after a long day at work allows you to simply recharge and enjoy the solitude of your kitchen.
Cooking can be a great way to put off a daily task, and those who love to cook know this all too well. Putting all your effort into making an elaborate meal or your favorite dessert is a great way to avoid anything that you have been dreading.
【2】 Anyone who enjoys cooking knows that when you share a common interest like cooking with someone from a different culture, you can easily form a bond. They see this as an amazing opportunity to share recipes and dishes and learn from different cooking traditions and customs.
Eating out as a cook allows you to taste surprising ingredients in dishes. 【3】 Unusual flavors excite you and unique interpretations of dishes have you asking the waiter exactly what was added to make the food so flavorful. This might not excite your non-cook friends and family, but for you, it’s a great way to learn and improve. 【4】
【5】 As a cook, you have learned to add your own personal tastes to recipes through extensive trial and error. There are no limits for you when it comes to putting a new take on a traditional favorite, because, for you, cooking is all about creation.
A．Going out to eat becomes a whole other experience.
B．Instead, you concentrate on creating something delicious.
C．Cooking is also a universal language.
D．Moreover, cooking plays an important role in family life.
E．It is also likely to potentially inspire you to try to cook the meals in your own kitchen.
F．Mastering cooking skills helps you to become creative with food.
G．Cooking makes you a happy and popular person.

Mrs. Bruce then told the children to carry the bags everywhere they went, even to the toilet, for two weeks. As day after day passed, the children started to complain about the awful smell of the rotten (腐烂的) potatoes.

Mrs. Bruce asked, “How did you feel while carrying the potatoes for two weeks?” The children started complaining about the trouble loudly.
Then Mrs. Bruce told them why she asked them to play the game. She said, “This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred (仇恨) for somebody inside your heart. The terrible smell of the hatred will pollute your heart and you will carry something unnecessary with you all the time. If you cannot stand the smell of the rotten potatoes for just two weeks, can you imagine how heavy it would be to have the hatred in your heart for your lifetime?
