They were once among the most popular toys. 1960 Etch A SketchFrench electrician Andre Cassagnes had the idea of a drawing toy with a joy stick, a glass screen, and alumi

2、num ( 鋁) powder. Using that idea, the Ohio Art Co. launched ( 推出 ) the Magic Screen in 1960, and you could erase the picture with a shake of your hands. You can still find the toy today.1964 SuperBallWhat happens when you accidentally create a plastic ball that jumps? The toy company, Wham -O Inc.,

3、buys your idea and it ends up selling millions. That esxactly what happened to Norman Stingley, a chemical engineer who came upon SuperBall. At one time, Wham -O had to produce over 170,000 balls a day to keep up with the demand. Unbelievably, the National Football Game named the Super Bowl game (a

4、well -known American football game) after this jumping ball.1964 G.I. JoeIn 1964, Hasbro toy company created G.I. Joe, a line of action figures designed to represent the 4 branches of the US Armed Forces Action Soldier (Army), Action Sailor (Navy), Action Pilot (Air Force), and the Action Marine (Ma

5、rine Corps). G.I. Joe was imagined as an excellent military unit devoted to defending citizens fr eedom against the evil persons. It has attracted the imagination of boys around the world.1965 OperationAn unsteady hand is your downfall ( 敗落的原因 ) in the game of Operation, which was invented by John S

6、pinello, a student at the University of Illinois. Later, Spinello sold his right to the toy to a well -known toy designer Marvin Glass for a sum of $500.

8、tter teamworkC. get Norman Stingley s guidanceD. have a joy stick and a glass screenBAttention managers: the next time you need to inspire your team creatively, be more attentive to your employees ' feelings when you deliver negative feedbaCk（）.Kim ， who worked as a software engineer for Samsung

9、 after graduation from college, is familiarwith having his creative work picked apart.“ I personally hate hearing negative feedback as mostpeople do and I wondered if it really improved my performance, particularly when it came to completing creative tasks.” In two studies, Kim found that negative f

10、eedback can help or preventcreativity. What is most important is where the criticism （ 批評 ） comes from.When creative professionals or participants received criticism from a boss or a peer, they tended to be less creative in their later work. Interestingly, if a person received negative feedback from

11、 an employee of lower rank, they became more creative.It makes sense that employees might feel threatened by criticism from their managers. Supervisors（監(jiān)督員； 管理者） have a lot of power in deciding promotions or pay raises. So negative feedback from a boss mi 運(yùn) it cause career （職業(yè) ） anxiety. It also sta

12、nds to reason that feedback from a co-worker might also be received as threatening. We often compete with our peers for the same promotions and chances.What Kim found most surprising was how criticism proved to improve supervisors through lessons learned from negative feedback that came from their f

13、ollowers （employees that they manage）.“ But we tend to believe we shouldn ct riticize the boss， ” says Kim. “ In reality ， most supervisors don t detest negative feedback since they want to learn from it. Another reason is that they are in a natural power position and can deal with the discomfort of

14、 negative feedback better.As for giving suggestions to employees ， bosses should point out a follower s poor performance orweak points in time. But they should keep their feedback specific to tasks. Explain how the point they rdeiscussing relates to only their task behavior, not to aspects of the pe

15、rson. Meanwhile, feedback receivers need to worry less when it comes to receiving criticism.4. What s the motivation behind Kim s study?A. To work on his essays for graduation.B. To have a better knowledge of criticism.C. To call for understanding between workers.D. To encourage a culture of critici

16、sm in the workplace.5. What s the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. What typical power supervisors possess.B. What feedback can cause career anxieties.C. How workers can have a good impression on bosses.D. Why certain criticism harms a person s performance.6. What amazed Kim mostly in the study?A. Some pe

17、ople enjoy negative feedback.B. Employees are brave to criticize the boss.C Followers criticism may benefit managers.D. Many bosses sometimes struggle in their work.7. What does the underlined word“ detest ” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean?A. Hate. B. Understand. C. Discuss. D. Provide.CRecently a

18、ccording to a new research ， humans have had a link to starches （含淀粉的食物） for upve been able to plant them into 120,000 years that s more than 100,000 years longer than wethe soil during the time of the Ice Age s drawing to an end. The research is part of an ongoingstudy into the history of Middle St

19、one Age communities.An international team of scientists identified evidence of prehistoric starch consumption in the Klasies River Cave, in present -day South Africa. Analyzing small, ashy, undisturbed hearths （ 壁爐） inside the cave, the re-searchers found “ pieces of burned starches” ranging from ar

20、ound 120,000 to 65,000 years old. It made them the oldest known examples of starches eaten by humans.The findings do not come as a complete surprise but rather as welcome confirmation of older theories that lacked the related evidence. The lead author Cynthia Larbey said that there had previously on

21、ly been genetic （ 基因的 ） biological evidence to suggest that humans had been eating starch for this long. This new evidence, however, takes us directly to the dinner table, and supports the previous assumption that humans ， digestion genes gradually evolved in order to fit into an increased digestion

22、 of starch.Co-author Sarah Wurz said, “ The starch remains show that these early humans living in the Klasies River Cave could battle against their tough environment and find suitable foods and perhaps medicines. And as much as we all still desire the tubers （ 塊莖） ， these cave communities were grill

23、ing starches such as potatoes on their foot -long hearths. They knew how to balance their diets as well as they could, with fats from local fish and other animals.”As early as the 1990s, some researchers started to study the hearths in the Klasies River Cave. Scientist Hilary Deacon first suggested

24、that these hearths contained burned plants. At the time, the proper methods of examining the remains were not yet available. We now know human beings have always been searching for their desired things.8. When did humans begin to farm starches?A. After the Ice Age.B. After the Middle Stone Age.C. Ab

27、urz?A. They were smart and tough. B. They preferred plants to meat. C. They were generally very healthy. D. They got along with each other. DEveryone knows that to help lessen the ongoing climate crisis, we need to plant new trees. A paper recently published in Science predicts that our Earth could

28、support an additional 9,000,000 sq km of forest, potentially hosting 500 billion trees that are able to absorb more than 200 billion tonnes of CO 2. It would be a serious help.The Earth ' s land is 149,000,000 sq km. According to our study, when we take out glacier颯U） and deserts, we are left wi

29、th 104,000,000 sq km. When we further take out cities, freshwater, forests, etc., we finally get 51,000,000 sq km of arable （ 適于耕種的） land badly needed to feed 7.5 billion human beings.Very few people are aware of the great complexity of the whole system. “Widespread use at the scale of millions of s

30、quare kilometers globally of tree -planting and bioenergy crops （ 用于制造生 物能源的農(nóng)作物） planting, ” reads an IPCC report, u could have potentially bad consequences for food security and land degradation （ 退化 ）. ” In other words, more widespread monoculture （單一 栽培 ） and more bioenergy crops could degrade so

31、il.Bioenergy now has a 50 per cent share of the world s renewable energy consumption, according toexpert Fatih Birol “s wasormdsu:ch as wind, solar and all others combined ” . It s good n，ewbust not entirely. One reason is that rising ocean levels and deserts spreading are taking away more arable la

32、nd. So we arrive at a tough choice. Should we use our spare soil for agriculture, reforestation or bioenergy?Firstly, when planning to use lots of spare land to grow trees, we should notice that last year,36,000 sq km of forest was cut down. So wouldn t it be better to start by stopping cutting down

33、forests altogether? Besides, animal farming takes up 77 per cent of the world s arable land andprovides us with 18 per cent of the calories. Shouldn t we globally cut back on meat consumption?Lastly, modem bioenergy, which is made from non -food-crops, is already available. Shouldn t weavoid first -

34、generation biofuels ， which are obtained from food crops?12. What does the Science paper predict?A. People will be more active in planting trees.B. The climate change will lessen in the future.C.

35、. What are the figures in Paragraph 2 mainly intended to show?A. Humans face a freshwater crisis.B. The Earths land has various functions.C. Forests take up a small part of the Earth s land.D. The arable land is hard to feed the world s population.14. What can be inferred from the IPCC report?A. Pla

36、nting trees benefits bioenergy crops.B. More land can be used for growing bioenergy crops.C. The condition of plenty of land has been improved.D. Large scale of tree-planting may be a double -edged sword.15. What s the last paragraph mainly about?A. How to properly use our spare soil.B. How to produ
