[单项选择]Passage Six
There may be a link between creativity and mental disorders, but it is probably not in the way that you think. There is a widespread highly romanticized belief that madness somehow heightens creative genius among artists, writers, and musicians. And that may be because we romanticize the idea of artistic inspiration.
As with mental disorders, there is something mysterious and unexplainable about the creative process. But all significant creative leaps have two very important components: talent and technique. By far the most universal and necessary aspect of technique is dogged persistence, which is anything but romantic.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, best known psychologist for his work on flow, says despite the carefree air that many creative people effect, most of them work late into the night and persist when less driven individuals would not. Even acknowledged creative geniuses find that endurance must follow intuition. Follow-through is critical to the realiz

Passage Two
Between the invention of agriculture
and the commercial revolution that marked the end of the Middle Ages, wealth and
technology developed slowly indeed. Medieval historians tell of the centuries it
took for key inventions like the watermill or the heavy plow to diffuse across
the landscape. During this period, increases in technology led to increases in
the population, with little if any appearing as an improvement in the median
standard of living. Even the first century of the industrial
revolution produced more "improvements" than "revolutions" in standards of
living. With the railroad and the spinning and weaving of textiles as important
exceptions, most innovations of that period were innovations in how goods were
produced and transported, and in new kinds of capital, but not in consumer
goods. Standards of living improved A. believed that they were very much the same as their equals some two thousand years before. B. probably thought that great changes had occurred since Cicero. C. felt that qualitative changes had occurred in the last two thousand years. D. believed in the efficacy of slavery.
[单项选择] Passage Two
Between 1833 and 1837, the publishers
of a "penny press" proved that a low-priced paper, edited to interest ordinary
people, could win what amounted to a mass circulation for the times and thereby
attract an advertising volume that would make it independent. These were papers
for the common citizen and were not tied to the interests of the business
community, like the mercantile press, or dependent for financial support upon
political party allegiance. It did not necessarily follow that all the penny
papers would be superior in their handling of the news and opinion functions.
But the door was open for some to make important journalistic
advances. The first offerings of a penny paper tended to be
highly sensational; human interest stories overshadowed important news, and
crime and sex stories were written in full detail. But as A. It was known for its in-depth news reporting. B. It had an involvement with some political parties. C. It depended on the business community for survival. D. It aimed at pleasing the general public.
[单项选择]Passage One Between now(June) and Labor Day, millions of Americans will offer up their bodies to the sun’s rays. A tan indicates health and beauty, and most sun worshippers will sacrifice a lot to achieve it. With each hour, the sun’s ultraviolet radiation produces irreversible(不可逆的) damage, hastening the development of unsightly wrinkles. And with each year on the beach or rooftop, the sunbather increases his risk of getting skin cancer. Skin cancer is by far the most common form of cancer. An estimated 400,000 new cases will be detected this year in the United States, and almost all of them can be blamed on overexposure to the sun. Fortunately, most of these cancers are highly curable. But they can be disfiguring and take time to treat. For that reason, sun worshippers should treat deity with a good deal of awe. Sunburn, of course, is the initial hazard posed by UV radiation.
