And then he

11、 starts cooking. “Some nights Im up until 1:00 a.m. making pies, or even later if were cooking beef,” said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida, US.For the past year, Lanster and Kelly Moran, his classmate, have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lansters parents home. Their mea

12、ls have 17 courses and are all made by them. Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them until the pair decided to do something nice for charity（慈善）. “We got some really great Miami Heat tickets, a nice watch, and many kitchen gadgets（小器具）,” Lanster said. “But we wanted to make this something

13、 positive for people other than us.”Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads, a charity that aims to teach kids in poor communities to cook and make healthy eating choices. The young cooks ask their guests to give however much they want as payment for their meals. It all goes to Common Threads be

14、cause Lansters parents cover their food costs. After their last 12-person event, Lanster and Moran gave $1,600 to the charity.Now, theyre taking their show out of the kitchen and on the road. They have started to organize private dinner parties with a similar model: the host pays for the ingredients

15、, and the guests make a donation to a charity of their choice.Without formal training, Lanster said he had been interested in cooking since he helped his mom in the kitchen when he was very young. He learned how to cook by reading cookbooks and watching TV programs. Outside the kitchen, the two are

16、busy preparing their college applications. Neither of them is sure what they will do in the future, but theyre promised their parents that they will leave professional cooking alone until they finish school.1、How is Lansters life different from other teenagers lives?AHe plans to become a professiona

DOptimistic.22（8分） Some of the greatest moments in human history were fueled by emotional intelligence.

19、When Martin Luther King. Jr. presented his dream, he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience. Delivering this electrifying(震撼性的) message required emotional intelligencethe ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions.Emotional intelligence has been highly recommended by le

20、aders, policymakers, and educators as the solution to a wide range of social problems. If we can teach our children to manage emotions, the argument goes, well have less bullying and more cooperation. If we can cultivate emotional intelligence among leaders and doctors, well have more caring workpla

21、ces and more compassionate healthcare.Emotional intelligence is important, but the uncontrolled enthusiasm has obscured (掩盖)a dark side. New evidence shows that when people sharpen their emotional skills, they become better at manipulating (把持) others. When youre good at controlling your own emotion

22、s, you can hide your true feelings. When you know what others are feeling, you can motivate them to act against their own best interests.Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence. In a research led by University of professor Jochen Menges, when a leader gave a

23、n inspiring speech filled with emotion. the audience was less likely to scrutinize (细察) the message and remembered of the content. Ironically(讽刺的是) audience members were so moved by the speech that they claimed to recall more of it.The authors call this the awestruck effect, but it might just as eas

24、ily be described as the dumbstruck effect. One observer reflected that Hitlers persuasive impact came from his ability to strategically express emotionshe would ear open his heartand these emotions affected his followers to the point that they wouldstop thinking critically and just emote.”Leaders wh

25、o master emotions can rob us of our capacities to reason. If their values are out of step with our own. the results can be destructive. New evidence suggests that when people have self-serving motives (动机), emotional intelligence becomes a weapon for manipulating others. In a study led by the Univer

26、sity of Toronto psychologist Stephane Cote, university employees filled out a survey about their Machiavellian(不择手段的) tendencies, and took a test measuring their knowledge about effective strategies for managing emotions. Then, Cotes team assessed how often the employees deliberately undermined (逐渐削

27、弱) their colleagues. The employees involved in the most harmful behaviors were Machiavellians with high emotional intelligence. They used their emotional skills to lower the dignity of their peers for personal gain.Shining a light on this dark side of emotional intelligence is one mission of a resea

28、rch team led University College London professor Martin Kilduff. According to these experts, emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal Professor Kiiduits team writes,The strategic disguise of ones own emotions and the manipulation of

29、others emotions for strategic ends are behaviors evident not only on Shakespeares stage but also in the offices and corridors where power and influence are traded.”Of course, people arent always using emotional intelligence for nefarious ends. More often than not, emotional skills are simply instrum

30、ental tools for goal accomplishment. A research team discovered that founder Anita Roddick used emotional intelligence to inspire her employees fundraise for charity. As Roddick explained, Whenever particular project we always tried to break their hearts we wanted to persuade our staff to support a

31、particular project we always tried to break their hearts.”There is growing recognition that emotional intelligence-like any skill-can be used for good or evil. So if were going to teach emotional intelligence in schools and develop it at work, we need to consider the values that go along with it and

32、 where its actually useful.1、Why does the author mention Martin Luther King, Jr?ATo honor the great leader for his courage.BTo recommend his speech to other leaders.CTo impress the readers with a major topic.DTo advocate a society with fewer problems.2、Which of the following belongs to a dark side o

37、 research university in the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England. It is one of the original “red brick” universities, which are a group of top and famous old universities.

38、e was founded in 1828, followed in 1879 by the opening of Firth College by Mark Firth, a steel manufacturer (制造商), to teach arts and science subjects. Firth College then helped to provide money for the opening of the Sheffield Technical School in 1884 to teach applied science. In 1897 the three inst

39、itutions were joined together to form the University College of Sheffield, which in turn became the University of Sheffield by Royal Charter (特许) in 1905. This university is famous for its good education and boasts a number of Nobel Prize winners among its former students.More informationSystem: The

45、an in 1983 when he found three drift bottles (漂流瓶) on his local beach, each containing letters and return addresses. He wrote to all three addresses and was surprised to receive responses from each one. It was this experience that aroused his interest in hunting and collecting messages in bottles, a

46、nd he hasnt stopped looking for them since.“I find my messages in bottles on the beach of Zandvoort, where I live, and on the Dutch Islands,” Kruiswijk recently told Great Big Story. “Messages in bottles is slow mail. It takes you days, or weeks, or months to find a bottle. ”In the early years, Krui

47、swijk would find as many as 50 bottles a year, but since 2000 that has slowed to around 20-30 finds, mainly due to beach cleaning efforts. He believes that the rise of the Internet has also played a role in the diminishing number of messages in bottles, telling Dutch news site PZC, “I used to get a

48、response at half the bottle messages that I answered. Now thats less; many people want instant satisfaction.”Throwing a message in a bottle out into the sea is a longstanding human tradition dating back to the time of the Greek philosopher Theophrastus, about 310 BC，who used the bottles to study wat

49、er currents. Scientists still apply the method to this day, as a means to help researchers develop ocean circulation maps, and to crowdsource scientific studies of ocean currents.In the past bottles have also been used to send distress messages from sailors in trouble. They also have been used for m

50、emorial tributes, or to send loved ones ashes on a final journey. One of the more common uses though is just to send invitations out to prospective pen pals, a quaint notion in these modern times, but, as Kruiswijk so clearly shows, an effective one.1、What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?AKruiswijk
