20、ad missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class.

21、ements, which I would never get in India because we didnt have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didnt actually want to pick a seat.

23、asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “Its still fourth period.” “But the bell just rang,” I said.

24、we didnt have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didnt have in India either.

27、.BWhy do you go to the library? For books, yesbut you like books because they tell stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone elses life.

28、w” people.

29、mination(歧视) based on race, 英语第 7 页（共 11 页）religion, class, gender identity, age, lifestyle choices, disability and other aspects of their life. For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating and as attractive as any you can find in a b

30、ook. Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype. You can speak with a refugee(难民) , a soldier suffering from PTSD, a homeless person or a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own long-held beliefsto truly get to know, and learn from someone t

31、hey might otherwise make a quick judgment about. According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.” It provides the opportunity for the community to share and understand the experiences of others in their community.The Human Lib

32、rary Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000.

After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Librar

33、y Organization, which has been growing ever since.Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most arent places at all, but events. Though many do take place at physical libraries, you dont need a library cardanyone can come and be part of the experience. There have been human library events a

34、ll over the globe, in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio. The stories these “books” tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between. And thats the very point of the organizationto prove that no person can be summed up in just one word.

36、ple sharing their experiences40. The event in Copenhagen is significant because it _.

38、valuate B. inform and explain C. discuss and persuade D. analyze and suggest CNorman Garmezy, a developmental psychologist at the University of Minnesota, met thousands of children in his four decades of research. A nine-year-old boy in particular stuck with him. He has an alcoholic mother and an ab

39、sent father. But each day he would walk in to school with a smile on his face. He wanted to make sure that “no one would feel pity for him and no one would know his mothers incompetence.” The boy exhibited a quality Garmezy identified as “resilience.”Resilience presents a challenge for psychologists

40、. People who are lucky enough to never experience any sort of adversity(逆境) wont know how resilient they are. Its only when theyre faced with obstacles, stress, and other environmental threats that resilience, or the lack of it, comes out. Some give in and some conquer.Garmezys work opened the door

41、to the study of the elements that could enable an individuals success despite the challenges they faced. His research indicated that some elements had to do with luck, but quite large set of elements was psychological, and had to do with how the children responded to the environment. The resilient c

42、hildren had what psychologists call an “internal locus of control (内控点).” They believed that they, and not their circumstances, affected their achievements. The resilient children saw themselves as the arrangers of their own fates. 英语第 9 页（共 11 页）George Bonanno has been studying resilience for years

43、 at Columbia Universitys Teachers College. He found that some people are far better than others at dealing with adversity. This difference might come from perception(认知) whether they think of an event as traumatic(创伤), or as an opportunity to learn and grow. “Stressful” or “traumatic” events themsel

44、ves dont have much predictive power when it comes to life outcomes. “Exposure to potentially traumatic events does not predict later functioning,” Bonanno said. “Its only predictive if theres a negative response.” In other words, living through adversity doesnt guarantee that youll suffer going forw

45、ard.The good news is that positive perception can be taught. “We can make ourselves more or less easily hurt by how we think about things,” Bonanno said. In research at Columbia, the neuroscientist Kevin Ochsner has shown that teaching people to think of adversity in different waysto reframe it in p

46、ositive terms when the initial response is negative, or in a less emotional way when the initial response is emotionally “hot”changes how they experience and react to the adversity.43.

What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The psychologists. B. The resilient children.C. Positive elements.
