1．A decade ago，at the end of my first semester teaching at Captain，my student Jack stopped by for office hours.He sat down and burst into tears.My mind started cycling through a list of events that could make a college junior cry：His girlfriend had broken up with him；he had been accused of cheating in exams；he forgot to turn in papers before the deadline. "I just got my first A minus，" he said.
   Year after year，I watch in depression as students are crazy about getting straight A's.Some sacrifice their health；a few have even tried to charge their school after failure.They believe top marks are a ticket to elite graduate schools and rewarding job opportunities.I was one of them.I started college with the goal of graduating with a GPA of 4.0.It would be a reflection of my brainpower and willpower，showing that I had the right things to succeed.But I was wrong.
   The evidence is clear：Across industries，research shows that the association between grades and job performance is modest in the first year after college and insignificant within a handful of years.For example，at Microsoft，once employees are two or three years out of college，their grades have nothing to do with their performance.（Of course，it must be said that if you got D's，you probably wouldn't end up at Microsoft.）
   Academic grades rarely assess qualities like creativity，leadership and teamwork skills，or social，emotional and political intelligence.Yes，straight A students master large amounts of information and reproduce it in exams.But career success is rarely about finding the right solution to a problem-it's more about finding the right problem to solve.This might explain why Steve Jobs finished high school with a GPA of 2.65，and Martin Luther King Jr.got only one A in his four years at Morehouse.

（1）Why did Jack feel sad？

A．His girlfriend abandoned him.
B．He was caught cheating in exams.
C．He failed to get straight A's.
D．He didn't hand in his paper in time.
（2）What did the author once believe？

A．It was wrong to care too much about marks.
B．Failure was schools' fault.
C．Marks didn't reflect willpower and brainpower.
D．Top marks meant well-paid job offers.
（3）Why are the employees at Microsoft mentioned？

A．To indicate academic performance is important.
B．To stress the company values employees with top marks.
C．To introduce successful examples in the technology industry.
D．To show academic excellence isn't a strong predictor of career performance.
（4）What should people focus more on to succeed？

A．How to solve a problem.
B．What problem to be solved.
C．How to be a creative leader.
D．What to do with detailed information.

2．The world we live in is becoming increasingly complex and uncertain．And with it，the conventional thinking of yesterday is no longer sufficient．Creating real breakthrough opportunities requires a fundamental change in our thinking．As Einstein said， "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them．"
   There's no better example of this than the myth of the four-minute mile．
   For centuries，runners had been attempting to run a mile in under four minutes．In the 1950s，the attempt to break the barrier took on renewed importance，and a number of famous runners publicly and unsuccessfully attempted the challenge．Many of the newspapers of the day began to question whether humans would ever be able to run a sub-four-minute mile．Then，in 1954，a man named Roger Bannister did the unthinkable．He broke through the imaginary barrier，running the mile in 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds．It was an amazing achievement．
   But here's what's really interesting：it was only forty-six days later that another runner broke Bannister's record．And the following year，two new runners broke the four-minute mark in the same race．Dozens followed，and as of this writing，more than 1，400 runners have accomplished the goal，including one runner who ran two miles in less than eight minutes．
   Did something change with respect to human body，track conditions，weather patterns，running shoes，or the human diet between the start of Bannister's race and the few years that followed？No．So what explains the sudden and dramatic explosion of athletic achievement？
   The myth's unimaginable power over runners had lifted．What Bunnister had done was not just break the four - minute - mile barrier；he shattered（粉碎）the myth that created
the barrier in the first place．This paradigm （榜樣）had offered a set of actions available for runners to take．Runners were really free to run through the invented boundary．
   Creating breakthroughs requires shattering the myths that limit our imagination and lock us into conventional thinking．Think about your own situation．What myths are you stuck in？And what would be possible if you had the courage to challenge the myths？

（1）What is needed to create breakthroughs？

A．Conventional thinking．
B．Changes in our thinking．
C．Complex situation．
D．Einstein's encouragement．
（2）What was the real barrier that kept runners succeeding in the four-minute mile？

A．The belief that it was unachievable．
B．Lack of professional training．
C．The poor track conditions．
D．Lack of sufficient diet．
（3）The example of Roger Bannister is used to

．
A．list a new record in the race
B．prove newspapers are wrong
C．show barrier can be broken
D．call on us to learn from him
（4）What does the writer try to explain in Paragraph 6？

A．The power of the myth．
B．The achievements of Bannister．
C．The importance of running freely．
D．The significance of breaking barriers．
（5）What is the best title of the passage？

A．Creating Breakthroughs
B．Accepting the Myths
C．Locking Your Imagination
D．Becoming the Best Athlete

3．As computers become more popular in China，Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters.But if they use the computer too much，they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（筆畫）of each Chinese character when writing on paper.Experts suggest people，especially students，write by hand more.
   Do you write by hand more or typing more？In Beijing，students start using a computer as early as primary school.And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students.Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.
   All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer.And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education.But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly，problems appear.
   "When I'm writing with a pen，I find I often can't remember how to write a character，though I feel I'm familiar with it. "
   "I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper. "
   Many students don't feel this is something to worry about.Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer，why bother to handwrite？
   Many educators think differently.Shi Liwei，the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said "Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic（審美的）value.But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value.All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost.And handwriting contains the writer's emotion.Through one's handwriting，people can get to know one's thinking and personality.Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them. "
   To encourage students to handwrite more，many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities，some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.

（1）The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because

.
A．they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays
B．they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently
C．they find it not easy to remember how to write a character
D．computers have become a trend and fashion in China
（2）Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE of the advantages of handwriting？

A．Handwriting contains the writer's emotion.
B．Nice handwriting can impress people well.
C．Thinking and personality can be shown in handwriting.
D．Chinese characters enjoy only aesthetic value.
（3）The underlined expression "taking stock in"（Paragraph 3）probably means

.
A．getting bored with
B．getting dependent on
C．becoming crazy about
D．getting curious about
（4）We can draw the conclusion from the passage that

.
A．more and more students will give up writing on a computer
B．writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day
C．more and more students will pay attention to handwriting
D．the typing article better expresses one's emotion and quality
