2．Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has.There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.
We experience this tiredness in two ways：as start-up fatigue（疲憊）and performance fatigue.In the former case，we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult.And the longer we delay it，the more tired we feel.
Such start-up fatigue is very real，even if not actually physical，not something in our muscles and bones.The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply：always handle the most difficult job first.
Years ago，I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors.Applying my own rule，I determined to write them in alphabetical order（按字母順序），never letting myself leave out a tough idea.And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing.Experience proved that the rule works.
Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.Though willing to get started，we cannot seem to do the job right.Its difficulties appear so great that，however hard we work，we fail again and agajye.ai.In such a situation，I work as hard as I can—then let the unconscious take over.
When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica（《大英百科全書》），I had to create a table of contents based on topics of its articles.Nothing like this had ever been done before，and day after day I kept coming up with solutions，but none of them worked.My fatigue became almost unbearable.
One day，mentally exhausted，I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved.I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself，not with me.Relieved，I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.
An hour later，I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mjye.aid.In the weeks that followed，the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step.Though I worked as hard as before，I felt no fatigue.Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.
Human beings，I believe，must try to succeed.Success，then，means never feeling tired.
（1）People with start-up fatigue are most likely to.
A．delay tasks
B．work hard
C．seek help
D．accept failure
（2）What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue？
A．Writing essays in strict order.
B．Building up physical strength.
C．Leaving out the toughest ideas.
D．Dealing with the hardest task first.
（3）On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue？
A．Before starting a difficult task.
B．When all the solutions fail.
C．If the job is rather boring.
D．After finding a way out.
（4）According to the author，the unconscious mind may help us.
A．ignore mental problems
B．get some nice sleep
C．gain complete relief
D．find the right solution
（5）What could be the best title for the passage？
A．Success Is Built upon Failure
B．How to Handle Performance Fatigue
C．Getting over Fatigue：A Way to Success
D．Fatigue：An Early Sign of Health Problems組卷：12引用：2難度：0.5 -
3． Researchers at Columbia University in New York have created a 3 D printer that makes cheesecake.
In research published Tuesday in the journal npj Science of Food，the engineers describe how their 3 D printer made a cheesecake from seven ingredients：graham cracker，peanut butter，Nutella，banana puree，strawberry jam，cherry drizzle，and frosting；a retrofitted （改裝） 3 D printer was used；the printing head could pick up any of the seven food "inks" to add to the slice.The final result tasted pretty sweet.
Blutinger，head of the researcher，said in a press release describing the research， "The cheesecake is the best thing we can showcase right now，but the printer can do a whole lot more." 3 D printed food could make foods more customizable — and possibly more nutritious.With more emphasis on food safety，food prepared with less human handling could lower the risk of foodborne illness and disease transmission.
Is 3 D food printing healthy？ "We have an enormous problem with the low-nutrient value of processed foods，" Cooper said. "3 D food printing will still turn out processed foods，but perhaps the silver lining will be，for some people，better control and tailoring of nutrition — personalized nutrition."
"On every scale，from food manufacturers to restaurants and homes，3 D printers might be the next step in automation，removing more people from the preparation process.You'll likely pay more for your first 3 D food printer than you did for your air fryer.When the first ones arrive，perhaps in five years or so，they will likely come in at less than ＄1，000，" Blutinger said.
（1）What is used to make cheesecake？
A．A 3 D film.
B．A newly-built 3 D printer.
C．A new printing head.
D．A modified 3 D printer.
（2）What can Blutinger agree with？
A．The cheesecake is the best in the world.
B．3 D printed food belongs to natural foods.
C．3 D printed food could be everything but nutritious.
D．3 D printed food could lower the risk of disease transmission.
（3）What can we learn about the 3 D printer？
A．It can print salty cakes.
B．It is possible for massive production.
C．It will be too much expensive to buy.
D．It can be put into the market at once.
（4）Where can readers find the text？
A．In an entertainment website.
B．In an advertisement.
C．In a science magazine.
D．In a storybook.組卷：4引用：3難度：0.5 -

5．Why Experiencing a New Culture Is Good for You Often the best way to really explore a new place and culture is by spending abundant time there.A quick vacation may give you a glimpse（警） into your destination. （1）
.These opportunities provide a support network as you adjust to new surroundings.
Dealing with culture shock
Culture shock is a response to your new surroundings when abroad that can leave you confused，anxious and feeling lonely.It generally includes frustration at how even the simplest things can be different in the new culture.The thing is though，culture shock can be seen as a problem but also as an opportunity. （2）.
（3）
Perhaps the most obvious lesson learned with travel is the importance of language.Even just learning the basics of the local language can make getting about and making new friends easier.Trying to overcome the language barrier also teaches you about non-verbal communication.Since you can't rely on what is being said，you learn to adapt，to people's tone and body language.This makes you a better communicator.
Finding inspiration
（4）.In each of these creative fields you may come across new approaches or elements that you bring home with you；maybe it's a certain combination of ingredients that you add to your cooking or a new style you adopt for your own home's design.
Meeting new people
Meeting people and making friends while overseas is both a necessity and one of the most enjoyable aspects of the experience. （5），which enables you to meet people that you never would have known otherwise.You may be exposed to people from different walks of life，find a similar spirit，or both at the same time.A．Learning language skills
B．Developing body language
C．So you're less likely to further experience a new culture
D．Travelling to new cultures is a great way to expand your social circle
E．Experiencing the local culture can expose you to local art，cuisine，architecture，etc.
F．Only by adjusting to and accepting new surroundings can you understand and appreciate it
G．But experiences like student or work exchange programs allow you to immerse（沉浸） in a new culture組卷：5引用：3難度：0.5
