You may not use any of the wordsin the bank more than once.Public perception of success in the U.S. might be totally misguided.While 92% of people believe others care most about fame and 26 , fewer than 10% factor those qua

25、lities into their own success. This is according to the newly 27 study by Harvard Graduate School of Education professor Todd Smith. Smith says he was 28 by how past studies on success “assumed what people will care about.” In this study, his team “went the 29 direction” by spending years carrying o

26、ut individual interviews and group surveys to see what people really talk about when they talk about success.As a scientist, Smith 30 studied individuality for a living, and even he was surprised to nd younger respondents cared more about having a 31 in life. Those between the ages of 18 and 34 prio

27、ritized it most, and that prioritization dropped o as respondents ages went up. Perhaps this is because older people had fewer options when they were starting their careers, at a time when values focused more on stable incomes than 32 personal missions.Other trends included an emphasis on the import

28、ance of parenting. Being a parent 33 very high across the priorities of all study participants. Ultimately, Smith hopes institutions will take note of these insights 34 .Higher education institutions tend to focus on preparing students for high-paying jobs. For such institutions, from universities t

30、ongSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is

31、marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.How a rabbit study and an ex-student boost my hopes for a future of love and dignityA) At whatever grade level teachers find themselves, from kindergarten to the final class at medical or law school, few

32、 moments stir the emotions as deeply as when former students reappear years and often decadeslater with an update on where their journey has taken them and what resiliencies ( 韧 性 ) have been thepavement on which theyve traveled.B) So it was when a recent letter came from Kelli Harding, a student 21

33、 years ago in my Peace Studies summer course in Washington. The weekly tuition- free class, in a roomy space that Ralph Nader and his Public Citizen nonprot group provided, was discussion- based and required no useless homework or exams. Just come in and gure out how to increase peace and decrease v

34、iolence. And do it today, tomorrow is too late. The course attracted mostly congressional interns ( 实习生), with a few exceptions like Kelli who was in Washington as an AmeriCorps volunteer.C) Her year-long service included comforting AIDs patients at a free health clinic and delivering meals to the h

35、omebound. It was a world apart from her undergraduate days at the University of California- Berkeleymajoring in political science. The Washington experience, which Kelli would later call “transformative,” was the fuel that carried her into medicine to earn a masters degree in public health from Colu

36、mbia University and a medical degree from the University of Rochester, and almost two decades of practice as an emergency- room psychiatrist (精神科医生) at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and a clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University Irving Medical Center.D) Kellis letter, a literate upda

37、te on both her personal and professional life, touched my heart, and especially so when saying that two decades later she still has the course text, “Solutions to Violence,” and that “it remains one of my favorite possessions.” She lives in Lower Manhattan with her husband, Padraic, whom she met on

38、a ight to London, and their three boys.E) If Kelli stands out, its because she is also a gifted writer. Last month, Atria Books published her book The Rabbit Eect: Live Longer, Happier and Healthier with the Groundbreaking Science ofKindness.F) With a blending of free-owing confessional prose and sc

39、holarly research found in 461 notes, Kelli met my expectations that her ideas and ideals would be sound and singular. “ Despite our scienti c progress,” she writes, “Americans are remarkably unhealthy. In 2016, the United States ranked forty-third in the world for life expectancy. It is also by far

40、the worlds most expensive place to get sick.”G) Enter the rabbitsnot those running around in our woodlands but ones serving in two month-long medical experiments to test the eects of eating a high- fat diet and the connections between cholesterol and heart disease. With similar diets, the expectatio

41、ns were that all the rabbits would have similar cloggings of their arteries (动脉堵塞). Yet one group had 60% fewer of them.H) The reason? Instead of receiving the standard care given to lab animals, the 60% group was watched over by a newcomer to the lab who, Kelli writes, “handled the animals dierentl

42、y. When she fed her rabbits she talked to them and petted them. She didnt just pass out food, she gave them love. The studies indicate something is missing in the traditional biomedical model. It wasn t diet or genetics that made a difference in which rabbits got sick and which stayed healthy. It wa

43、s kindness.”I) Amid the political noise about Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid, health insurance and thieving pharmaceutical ( 医药 的 ) companies, Kelli Harding stands apart from the crowd calling for quick xes, the simpler the better. She has walked too many miles in the halls of hospitals visiting too

44、many far-gone patients and seeing too many medical mistakes to go along with conventional thinking.J) “The rabbit eect,” she explains, means that “when it comes to our health, weve been missing some crucial公众pie号ces【: h语idd听en颖fa想cto】rs behind what really makes us healthy. Factors like love, friends

45、hip, and dignity. The designs of our neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces. There s a social dimension to health that we ve completely overlooked in our eorts to nd the best and most cutting-edge medical care. Ultimately, what aects our health in the most meaningful ways has more to do with how we

46、treat one another, how we live, and how we think about what it means to be human than with anything that happens in the doctors oce.”K) In more than a few passages, she relates the stories of men and women who came up against assembly- line medicine where patients were treated mostly as pieces of es

47、h. “Clinically,” she writes, “its common to see two patients with the same condition, such as recovering from a heart attack, have two very dierent courses based on seemingly irrelevant factors, such as their family relationships or their educational levels. In my practice, the sickest people I see

48、often share similar backgrounds: loneliness, abuse, poverty, ordiscrimination. For them, the medical model isnt enough. Its like xing up an airplane engine and ignoring that the pilot is on his third drink at the bar and a massive storm is overhead. To properly care for patients, we also need to care about the lives of the people getting the care.”L) Kelli wastes no time taking potshots at
