Born on March 21, 1958, in Louisiana, Grant Cardone is not a typical celebrity. He didn’t come from a wealthy
family. He’s not a Hollywood superstar, nor does he have some amazing talents, like script-writing, politics or athleticism.
However, what he has is something that is available to us all, and that is a determination to succeed.
At the age of 25, Cardone took the first job that he could find. That job was as a car salesman. It was a title and a
position that Grant was not very fond of. However, the economy was slow, which meant he didn’t have many options, so he
made it work.
Cardone was committed to becoming the best salesperson he could be. So, he invested (投资) heavily in his own
self-improvement by reading books and studying his craft and his industry. After committing himself to becoming his very
best, his income quickly doubled. And soon thereafter, he became one of the best car salesmen in the country. He eventually
moved on to running his own business, and was extremely smart and disciplined (自律的) with his money. Cardone only
spent money on what was absolutely necessary for food and housing. He would place anything left over into an investment
fund just for the property market.
Cardone’s focus on learning more so that he could earn more, along with having the discipline to invest his extra
money, instead of wasting it on useless things, helped him become a self-made millionaire just five years later by the age of

Cardone has since gone on to become a well-known international businessman, speaker and the owner of Cardone
Capital, a $ 1.5 billion investment firm. He’s authored the New York Times bestselling books If You’re Not First, You’re Last,
and other famous books like The 10X Rule, and Axiom Award winning Sell or Be Sold. In addition to this, he also founded

Cardone University, a popular sales training platform that has over 50,000,000 and growing users.
It took Cardone only five years to completely change his entire life. With the right mindset and sufficient willpower,
just imagine what five years could do for you.

How often have you wondered what the boy sitting across from you on the bus is really thinking? It seems that you
will never really know for sure. After all, the content of our thoughts is unperceivable to anyone else.
Neuroscience (神经科学) research into how we think and what we’re thinking makes it possible to watch directly
into the brain to read out the physical make-up of our thoughts, some would say to read our minds.
The technology that is changing what once was impossible in science into just plain science is a specialized use of
MRI scanning (扫描) called “functional MRI”, fMRI for short. It makes it possible to see what’s going on inside the brain
while people are thinking.
What neuroscientist Marcel Just and his colleagues have done is combine fMRI’s ability to look at the brain in action
with computer science's new power to sort through massive amounts of data. The goal is to see if they could identify exactly
what happens in the brain when people think specific thoughts.
They did an experiment where they asked subjects to think about ten objects—five of them tools like scissors or
rulers, and live of them buildings like castles or towers. They then recorded and analyzed the activity in the subjects’ brains
for each. When we think “ruler” or “tower” for example, Just says neurons start firing at varying levels of intensity (强
度) in different areas throughout the brain. “And we found that we could identify which object they were thinking about
from their brain activation patterns (激活模式) . We're identifying the thought that’s taking place,” he said.
IMRI scanning has already been used to try to figure out what we want to buy and how to sell it to us. It’s a new field
called “neuromarketing”. One of its pioneers, Gemma Calvert, says it’s a growing field. “What we’ve seen is a sort of
snowballing effect over the last few years.”

8．Which can best replace the underlined word “unperceivable” in paragraph 1?
A．Definite. B．Professional. C．Various. D．Secret.

9．What is fMRI used to do?
A．Observe your physical activities.
B．Introduce plain science to the public.
C．Figure out what you are thinking about. D．Find out how your brain is made up of.

In the summer of 2020, a devastating wildfire, ignited by a lightning strike, swept across 43,000 acres of Cima Dome
within the Mojave National Preserve in California. This area is renowned for being home to the planet’s most extensive
Joshua tree forest. The inferno led to the destruction of 1.3 million Joshua trees, which equates to roughly a quarter of the
forest’s population. The task of rehabilitating this ecosystem was a formidable one. However, an unconventional approach
was implemented to aid in the revival of these distinctive desert flora: employing camels to assist in the restoration efforts.
During the ice age, the now-extinct giant sloths played a pivotal role in the dispersal of Joshua tree seeds through
their feeding habits. In their absence, smaller mammals have assumed this function, but with significantly less effectiveness.
“
Joshua tree seeds are not dispersed rapidly,” remarked Debra Hughson, a worker at the Mojave National Preserve. “Their
movement is slow and limited when relying solely on the presence of small mammals.”
The strategy focused initially on reviving the Cima Dome region due to its higher altitude, which offers the trees a
better chance of withstanding the impacts of climate change. Hughson, along with her team of professional volunteers,
commenced the planting of seedlings in the scorched landscape. However, the theoretically sound plan did not translate well
into practice. The location’s remote wilderness status means that even reaching it requires a multi-hour hike.
This is where Herbie, Sully, and Chico, three camels, stepped in as unlikely heroes.
The innovative idea to utilize these camels originated from Nance Fite, a 70-year-old volunteer at the reserve. Upon
learning about the restoration initiative, she dedicated herself to persuading the Park Service to enlist the camels’ assistance.
She also managed to convince her friend Jennifer Lagusker, the camels’ owner, to bring them to the preserve. Since 2021,
these three camels have been instrumental in the restoration process, with approximately 3,500 young Joshua trees planted
to date. They have been instrumental in transporting water and seedlings during the lengthy treks across the desert reserve.
Upon completion of this phase of work, the Park Service intends to concentrate on another area ravaged by the
wildfire. The camels will stand ready to provide their services wherever they are required in the ongoing efforts to restore
the Mojave National Preserve.

3．What do the underlined words “the role” in paragraph 2 refer to？ ______

4．Why did the volunteer team’s first attempt turn out ineffective？ ______
A．Hiking was legally forbidden in the wilderness.
B．They had trouble traveling to the Cima Dome area.
C．Few people in the team were willing to plant seedlings.
D．The trees couldn’t survive the effects of climate change.
5．What can we learn from the text？ ______

Here are four simple ways you can care for your environment.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
●
The principle “reduce, reuse, recycle” is important.
37
Reduce: Be mindful of your consumption. Use
products with minimal packaging and consider if you truly need that new item. Reuse: Think of creative ways to repurpose
items. Recycle: Make sure to recycle paper, plastics, metals, and electronics.
●
Conserve water
Water is a precious resource, and conserving it helps ensure its availability for future generations. A dripping faucet
can waste gallons of water over time so ensure all taps, pipes, and toilets are leak-free. 38
Choose sustainable transportation
Transportation is a significant source of greenhouse gases. Opting for more sustainable mode
