It was New Year’s Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his sad eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake. When he cast them on the earth, where a few more hopeless people than himself now moved towards their certain goal- the tomb. He had already passed sixty and had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant and his heart sorrowful.

The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads- one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and filled with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and devils and poisonous snake hissed (发嘶嘶声) and crawled (爬, 爬行).

He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted

life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret like a sharp arrow struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood. But they had made their way to success and were now honoured and happy on this night.

The high church clock struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and burst out a cry, “Come back, my early days!”

His youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.

Those who still wander on the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble (绊脚) on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain (徒劳), “Oh youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”

66. What does “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to according to the passage? A. The aged man's eyes C. White lilies

B. The floating stars D. Hopeless people

67. Which of the following about the man is NOT true?

A. In the dream, he was one of the most hopeless people approaching death. B. His father once allowed him the freedom to choose the way of life. C. He remembered his loving parents and joyful friends in his dream. D. Though he did nothing wrong, the dream taught him a good lesson. 68. What’s the man’s feeling in his dream? A. sorrowful, fearful and regretful B. sorrowful, shameful and peaceful C. regretful, painful and angry D. disappointed, regretful and joyful

69. From the passage we can infer all the following BUT_________.

A. what the man could see through the window reflect his depressed mood B. the clock in the church tower brought him back to his unhappy childhood C. the star he saw fall from the sky is a metaphor (隐喻) for the end of his life D. the peaceful sunny place covered with flowers means a way of life with a bright future

70. Which of the following best shows the theme of this passage? A. It’s never too late for one to mend his ways. B. One false step can lead to a great error.

C. It’s too late to regret when a bad choice is made D. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst

Children’s mindsets (心态) have important implications (暗示) for their motivation and performance in school. Children with a growth mindset believe that intelligence can be increased with effort and good learning strategies. As a result, they are motivated to work hard and persist (坚持) when things get challenging, They are not afraid of failure because they view it as an opportunity to learn, a necessary step towards success.

It’s a different story for children with a fixed mindset. These children believe that intelligence is fixed (i.e, we’re either born smart or we’re not). They believe that learning should be easy, and effort unnecessary, for those who are naturally smart. When children with a fixed mindset struggle to master something or experience failure they assume that they’re not smart and quickly give up.

Studies have shown that children with a growth mindset do better in school than those with a fixed mindset. For example, Lisa Blackwell and her colleagues found that 7 graders who believed that intelligence is malleable (可塑的) earned better grades in mathematics throughout junior high school than students who believed that

th

intelligence is fixed. They also found that students who went through an intervention (干预) teaching malleable intelligence earned better grades than those in a control group. Many other studies show that mindsets can be changed, and a growth mindset is the key factor that determines whether children can make good grades at school or not.

Parents can have a huge impact on children’s mindsets. When children succeed, they may praise their intelligence or talent (“You’re so smart” or “You’re such a good gymnast”), but this type of praise leads to a fixed mindset. It sends the message that performance is due to ability (or lack of ability). Instead, they should praise children’s hard work, good learning strategies and perseverance (坚持不懈), etc.

More importantly, to develop a growth mindset in children, parents should have one themselves. When talking about others’ success, they should talk about the hard work and strategies needed to achieve success (“He must have trained for hours every single day”). Meanwhile, they should talk to children about the mistakes they’ve made and what they’ve learned from them, and then teach them that failure is nothing to be afraid of.

Every time people learn something new, the brain changes by forming new neural connections. The brain gets stronger with training, just like a muscle. Researchers have found that this simple but vivid analogy (类比) helps students learn the growth mindset and achieve better results at school.

With these proven ways, it’s completely possible to develop a growth mindset in children.

A popular article that is widely spread online recently lists the cartoon series Chinese parents prefer for their children. At the bottom are domestic (国内的) ones such as Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf and Boonie Bears, while at the top are the English versions of cartoon series produced by countries like the US and South Korea, such as Bob s Burgers and Backkom.

The article further says that in kindergartens, kids watching the same cartoon series often make friends with each other. Parents whose children can understand English shows look down upon other parents, who only offer children domestic ones, and an invisible wall forms between their kids.

There is a Chinese saying, “don’t let your child lose at the starting line.” It's clear that competition between parents who don't wish their children to lose at the starting line has even started from what kind of cartoon their children watch.

A growth mindset is the key to achieving (76) ___________ success.
