Soon, Hogan added,“We developed.”Now, they send a thousa

17、nd unsold bunches of flowers a month, with 150 volunteers working five days a week. Their organization,Bluebirds &. Blooms,is named after their childhood youth troupe(剧团)The Bluebirds.Their flowers brighten 30 communitiesmostly homes for seniors who are losing their memories.Vellie Larson has lost s

18、ome of her memories but her daughter Karen Schwartz was in the same Bluebirds troupe as Wooldridge and Hogan, and Larson taught them all music.“When they send flowers to her,”Schwartz said,“Shell describe them to me and give me a flower report every day.”“The flowers are also a hint that someone car

19、es,”said Shery Hassan, the centers director.“Theyre sad, and just having such a simple thing as a bunch of flowers brightens their days,”Hassan said.“Families will come in, and theyll say,Oh who got you flowers?This is beautiful.And it saysThinking of you.The seniors can just say,Oh,somebody was thi

24、eresting research has emphasized the notion that there are some people who embrace challenges and disappointments as opportunities to re-focus their thinking. These are people with a growth mindset. Then, there are other people who see failure as a complete failure. They believe that they never had

25、the talent anyway, and they probably never will. These are people with a fixed mindset. Psychologist Dweck has studied these mindsets and provided evidence that most people intentionally place themselves in one of those two groups. The group to which you assign yourself frequently determines how you

26、 react to challenges. If you experience failure and give up, you have conveniently assigned yourself to the fixed group. If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group. According to the research, people in the growth group tend to gen

27、erate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. To illustrate, consider Thomas Edison. In the 19th century, Edison attempted to improve the light bulb and experimented with numerous materials. Over a thousand trials, he managed to discover an element sustaining light. A reporter once asked

28、him,“It seems as though youve tried many times and continue to fail each time. Why is that?”Edison answered,“I have not failed. Ive just found 10, 000 ways that wont work.”In studies of creative people, psychologists discovered that a distinguishing feature separating them from the non-creative is t

29、hat they make lots of mistakes and continue to work through them. Most people consider success and failure as polar opposites. In reality, they are both parts of the same process.8. What might people with a growth mindset agree with?A. Challenges are welcomed.B. Mistakes can be avoided.C. Success is

30、 due to good luck.D. Only talent leads to success.9. What does the underlined phrase “a stepping stone” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. A road to nowhere.B. A challenge in the way.C. An outcome to expect.D. A chance to advance.10. Why does the author mention Thomas Edison in paragraph 3?A. To make a pred

31、iction.BTo present a fact.C. To support a viewpoint.D. To clarify a principle.11. What is the main idea of the text?A. How people interpret failure often determines their creative output.B. Learning from success plays an important part in improving creativity.C. Growth mindset people see challenges

32、differently from fixed mindset ones.D. Which group people put themselves in decides how they react to challenges.DRadiocarbon dating has revealed two fake (伪造的) paintings in France probably the first time the technique has been used in a police investigation. The paintings were supposedly works from

33、 around the early twentieth century. But a team led by scientist Lucile Beck at the University of Paris-Saclay dated them to sometime within the past 70 years.The use of radiocarbon dating is gaining popularity, thanks to advances that require smaller samples than ever before. Removing tinier sample

34、s from artwork is becoming more palatable to museums and owners of paintings. If there is a chance that a painting is genuine and therefore valuable they dont want the collection of larger samples to damage it.All living things take in carbon, including radioactive carbon-14, from the atmosphere and

35、 from food. When a plant commonly used to make oil painting cloth dies, the carbon-14 that it contained continues to fall off. Radiocarbon dating measures whats left to estimate the time thats passed, says Mariaelena Fedi, a physicist at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Florence, Italy.

36、Atomic-bomb (原子弹) testing, which began in the 1940s and took off in the 1950s, quickly increased the amount of carbon-l4 in the atmosphere.Carbon-l4 peaked around 1964and went down after a partial ban on nuclear tests. Researchers can easily identify materials containing modern bomb-produced radioca

37、rbon because their carbon-14 concentrations are higher than pre-1950s levels. Becks team tested its samples to see whether they bore the feature of that bomb-produced radioactive carbon-14.The canvas fiber from the paintings clearly contained carbon from either the mid-1950sor after the year 2000, t

38、he researchers reported. Beck acknowledged that, ideally, the team would do further chemical analysis to support its findings, but the researchers were limited by the tight time.12. What does the underlined word “palatable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Impressive.B. Acceptable.C. Expensive.D. Dif

39、ficult.13. How does radiocarbon dating work?A. By analyzing samples from artwork.B. By removing the smaller samples.C. By measuring the carbon-14 left.D. By testing the carbon in the sample.14. What can we learn about atomic-bomb testing in Paragraph 4?A. It produces more carbon-14.B. It helps ident

40、ify fake paintings.C. it reduces carbon concentration.D. It has been stopped completely.15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Paintings waiting to be identifiedB. Two fake paintings found in FranceC. New technology in painting becomes a hitD. Radiocarbon dating proves an anti-
