I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that
19、I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled(登记 )in the local high school in my new town.I was afraid how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my c
20、lassmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered. “Yes.” His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didnt have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose
21、 where I would sit. I didnt actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didnt use the technology we had. We had to take notes as t
22、he teacher spoke.It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “Its still fourth period.”“But the bell just rang,” I said.Changing
23、 from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one, she said, “That is the lunch bell, young man.”I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky because 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,
24、 I was on my way to the bus which we didnt have in India either. I spotted my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasnt o bad.36.

For books, yes-but you like books because they tell stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported i
27、nto someoneelses life. At one type of library, you can do just that-even though theres not a single book.At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. Individuals volunteer as human “books” and participants in the event can “read” the book-meaning they would have a one-on-one conver
28、sation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that individuals experience. “Books” are volunteers from all walks of life who have experienced discrimination (歧视 ) based on race, religion, class, gender identity, age, lifestyle choices, disability and other aspects of their lifeFor a certai
29、n 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 book. 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 wo
30、man living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own long-held beliefs-to truly get to know, and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about.According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated
31、and answered.” It provides the opportunity for the community to share and understand the experiences of others in their community.The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. Ronni Abergel, his brother Dany, and some colleagues hosted a four-day during a major Northern E
32、uropean festival, hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library 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
33、 at physical libraries, you dont need a library cardanyone can come and be part of the experience. There have been human library events all 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 heartbre
34、aking and everything in between. And thats the 6very point of the organization-to prove that no person can be summed up in just one word. It seeks to show people that you truly cant judge a book by its cover-or by its title or label.39. The “books” in human libraries are_.A. long-held beliefs attrac
35、ting individualsB. inspiring stones motivating people in troubleC. events in which people can talk to volunteersD. unfairly-treated people sharing their experiences40. The event in Copenhagen is significant because it_.A. aimed to help the young suffering from violenceB. attempted to replace traditi
36、onal physical librariesC. laid a foundation for the Human Library OrganizationD. led to a pleasing development for the community with racism41. In human libraries, the readers are likely to_.A. deepen their understanding of peopleB. enrich their own personal experiencesC. hear the stories from all o
37、ver the worldD. make quick judgments about the “books”42. The main purpose of the passage is to _.A. compare and evaluate B. inform and explainC. discuss and persuade D. analyze and suggestCNorman Garmezy, a development psychologist at the University of Minnesota, met thousands of children in his fo
38、ur decades of research. A nine-year-old boy in particular stuck with him. He has an alcoholic mother and an absent 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.” Th
39、e boy exhibited a quality Garmezy identified as “resilience”.Resilience presents a challenge for psychologists. 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 thre
40、ats that resilience, or the lack of it, comes out. Some give in and some conquer.Garmezy s work opened the door to the study of the elements that could enable an individuals success despite the 7challenges they faced. His research indicated that some elements had to do with luck, but quite large set
41、 of elements was psychological, and had to do with how the children responded to the environment. The resilient children had what psychologists call an “internal lens of control(内控点)”. They believed that they, and not their circumstances, affected their achievements. The resilient children saw thems
42、elves as the arrangers of their own fates.Ceorge Bonanno has been studying resilience for years al Columbia University s 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
43、traumatic(创伤), or as an opportunity to learn and grow. “Stressful” or “traumatic” events themselves 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 r
44、esponse.” In other words, living through adversity doesnt guarantee that youll suffer going forward.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
45、Ochsner has shown that teaching people to think of adversity in different ways-to reframe it in positive 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. According to the
46、passage, resilience is an individuals ability_.A. to think critically B. to decide ones own fateC. to live a better life D. to recover from adversity44. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The psychologists B. The resilient childrenC. Positive elements D. Internal locus o
47、f control45. According to Paragraph 4, we can learn that_.A. your positive perception may turn adversity aroundB. stressful events are more predictive than delightful eventsC. experiencing adversity predicts that you will go on sufferingD. a negative response doesnt guarantee you will suffer all the time46.
