15、linical research, I (21)_ (learn) that real keys are pleasure, joy and freedom. Joy of living is sustainable; fear of dying is not.Why? Because life is to be enjoyed. Theres no point (22)_ (abandon) something you enjoy unless you get something back thats even better, and quickly. When people eat mor

16、e healthfully, (23)_ (quit) smoking, and manage stress better, they find they feel so much better, so quickly.

23、ed and redecorated by monarchs (君主） one after the other. Some were great builders, strengthening the Castle against (32)_ and rebellion; others, living in more peaceful times, created a grand Royal residence. William the Conqueror chose the site, high above the river Thames and on the edge of a Saxo

24、n hunting ground. It was a days march from the Tower of London and intended to guard the western (33)_ to the capital. The outer walls of todays structure are in the same position as those of the (34) _ castle built by William the Conqueror in the 1070s.The Queen uses the Castle both as a private ho

29、 in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.“Nature and Nurture”People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviour are formed. However, it is not easy to explain why one

30、person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is (41)_.Social scientists are of course (42)_ interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviour. There are no clear answers yet, but two (4

31、3)_ schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debate between (44)_ of each theory. The controversy（争论）is often conveniently referred to as “nature and nurture”.Those who (45)_ the “nature”

32、 side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behaviour patterns are (46)_ determined by biological factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behaviour is (47)_ to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory states that our beha

33、viour is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our (48)_.Supporters of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, (49)_ , claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist

34、, B. F. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behaviour is almost completely (50)_ by their surroundings. The behaviorists view of the human being is quite mechanistic. They state that, like machines, humans respond to (51)_ stimuli (刺激) as the basis of their behaviour.Socially and politically, the c

35、onsequences of these two theories are (52)_ . In the US, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” supporters to conclude that blacks are genetically lower in status than whites are. Behaviorists, (53)_ , say that the differences in sco

36、res are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same (54)_ that whites do.Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behaviour. As a matter of fact, it is q

37、uite (55)_ that the key to our behaviour lies 6somewhere between these two extremes and that the controversy will continue for a long time is certain.41.

I do three night shifts a week, plus overtime if I can ge

42、t it. Monday is the most occupied day for me - I work from 10 pm until 8 am on Saturday and Sunday nights, earning just over 100 a night, and then I have to be at my first lecture at 9 am on Monday. By the time I finish lectures, at 2 pm, Im exhausted, but I know I have to be back at work by 10 pm.I

43、 constantly have to force myself to stay awake, and to be alert, whatever it takes. A packet of Skittles and a Red Bull usually helps. The work I do at Sainsburys is very physical like stacking shelves. Im lucky because Im an active person and the amount I lift at work is nothing compared with the w

44、eights I lift in the gym. I know I have the strength to bear it.Im originally from Nigeria. I came here when I was seven, growing up in Croydon, south London. Money was tight. My parents gave me everything I needed, but there was no money to spend on luxuries. I worked hard at school though and, wit

45、h the help of GT Scholars, I got some of the best A-level grades in my class.7Unfortunately, though I had applied for “settled” British residential status when very young, the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to approve my application. That meant I wasnt eligible for a student loan. The

46、only way I could afford to go to university was that if I got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents, who work in market research, paid for my tuition fees. In Scotland, thats about 7,000 a year.I dont have much time to socialize because of my job. Ideally, I would also like to

47、have more time to study so I can excel at my course. Yes, I have a lot on my plate, but working hard isnt new to me. Growing up, my parents and my mentors in the church and at GT Scholars cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what I want in life.My dream is to do an MA in physiotherapy

48、 next year and then get a job working for the NHS. But right now, Im just focused on trying to get the best grades I can. Whenever I find life hard, I tell myself this is about my future. I dont need much, but I would like to worry less about money and have more free time. That is what I look forwar
