• 2．As each semester begins，my colleague greets his students wearing a jacket and tie．
  "You make only one first impression，"he says．So while the rest of the semester he teaches class in his usual，more casual clothes，the first week he presents a different image．
  His thought is that students will remember their first meet positively and more readily think highly of him as the semester goes on because that favorable first impression has an influence on them．
  The sequence （顺序） that we meet matters in how we judge subsequent （后来的） information．The big influence of first impressions is related to the halo effect，where the perception （看法） of positive qualities in one thing or part gives rise to the perception of similar qualities in related things or in the whole．
  Here is an example：You meet a friendly person at a party and later are asked to collect money for a worthy cause．You call that person because you think she will make a contribution．In reality，there is no connection between being pleasant and being generous．Yet the halo effect leads you to think that the two are related．
  The halo effect is powerful，but it is questionable whether it matters much in long-term relationships，such as that between teacher and student．While dressing up may make students think the teacher must know his subject matter because he creates a professional first impression，the effect wears thin if the person turns out to be a poor teacher after all．
  First impressions matter but they don't have the final word．Facts speak louder．If you had never seen or heard of Einstein，the first time you saw him your impression would most likely be negative．Now his face is connected with genius （天才），not madness because he is the person who has come to define what genius is．
  The problem is that few of us are Einsteins and we often don't get the chance to change a negative first impression．
  
  （1）The author explains the halo effect mainly by

  ．
  A．giving an example
  B．making a comparison
  C．setting down general rules
  D．following the order of importance
  （2）In the author's eyes，the halo effect

  ．
  A．is surprisingly powerful
  B．matters more in the long run
  C．may affect our judgment of others
  D．makes some teachers irresponsible
  （3）The author uses the example of Einstein to show the importance of

  ．
  

  A．appearance B．truth

  C．impressions

  D．fairness

  （4）The author seems to advise readers

  ．
  A．to mind their first impressions
  B．not to judge a book by its cover
  C．not to follow others'judgments
  D．to pay no attention to the halo effect．

• 3．One day in the gym，I asked a coach，"What's the difference between the best athletes and everyone else？"He briefly mentioned the things that you might expect：genetics，luck，talent．
     But then he added something I wasn't expecting．"At some point，"he said，"it comes down to who can handle the boredom of training every day and doing the same practice over and over again．"
     Most of the time people talk about getting motivated（有动机的，有积极性的） to work on their goals．As a result，I think many people get depressed when they lose focus or motivation because they think that successful people never lack motivation that they seem to be missing．But that's exactly the opposite of what this coach was saying．
     When I was an athlete，I loved going to practice the week after a big win．Who wouldn't？Your coach is happy，your teammates are excited，and you feel like you can beat anyone．As an entrepreneur（企业家），I love working when customers are rolling in and things are going well．Getting results has a way of pushing you forward．
     But what about when you're bored？What about when the work isn't easy？What about when it feels like nobody is paying attention or you're not getting the results you want？It's the ability to work when work isn't easy that makes the difference．
     If you look at the people who are consistently achieving their goals，you start to realize that it's not the events or the results that make them different．It's their commitment to the process．They fall in love with the daily practice．
     So，fall in love with boredom．Fall in love with repetition（重复） and practice．Fall in love with the process of what you do and let the results take care of themselves．
  
  （1）What was the author's attitude towards the coach's added answer？

  
  A．He doubted it．
  B．He argued against it．
  C．He was surprised at it．
  D．He was uninterested in it．
  （2）The coach supposes successful people

  ．
  A．can avoid negative emotions
  B．can keep themselves inspired
  C．have a real enthusiasm for their work
  D．will find ways to work through boredom．
  （3）The author mentions his own experience to show

  ．
  A．the way of becoming successful．
  B．the importance of getting results．
  C．the willingness to work hard when you feel motivated
  D．the difficulty in keeping working when you are bored．
  （4）The text inspires people to

  ．
  A．value motivation．
  B．live with repetition．
  C．set themselves goals．
  D．develop a good habit．

  Video games are very popular among we students，and especially boys．Some even got addicted to
  them．It is true that some video games are good for our thinking ability and it can sometimes help us to
  relax．However，some students spend too many time on them．On my opinion，we should learn to control
  ourselves．We should finish our homeworks first every day，and then spend a little time play video games．
  As students，the most important thing is to study hardly．We should try our best get good grades and
  become useful people in the future．
