1、Amirhossein Mostajabi is a PhD student at the institute who led the development of the method.

6、）SHORTLIST OF LONDONS BESTIf you have limited visiting time we recommend you follow this list.1） Houses of Parliament. The guided tours of the Houses of Parliament are excellent, in any language you want, and get you to places that even normal Brits cant. However, when Parliament is sitting, they ar

7、e not running, but you can still get in.2） Hampton Court. We rate this as one of the best attractions in Europe. A whole succession of kings and queens have added to Henry VIIIs original palace. There lie a fantastic park （by Capability Brown） and gardens （including the famous maze）, and Tudor kitch

8、ens and one of the last remaining Real Tennis courts. Lots of free （once youve paid the admission） guided tours, some in costume, by people who know and love the place. Its also surrounded by a series of parks and makes a great destination for a bike trip - train out （30 minutes from Waterloo）, bike

9、 back （12 miles） along the river. We prefer it to the Tower of London - youll probably want to visit both, it knocks the spots off Buckingham Palace.3） The River. Walk along the South Bank from Tower Bridge to Lambeth. The best of London is spread out for you: The Tower of London & Tower Bridge, The

10、 Houses of Parliament, Lambeth Palace （residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury）, Shakespeares Globe theatre, Both Tate Galleries, St Pauls Cathedral, The South Bank Centre, The Temple, The London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Somerset House. （A 2 hour walk if you dont stop for long）. Or you can take a b

11、oat out to Greenwich, the Thames Barrier or the Dome.4） Westminster Abbey. Where they crown Kings. An unreasonable admission charge （should really be free or voluntary donation）, but a masterpiece anyway. If you get bored of waiting in the queue, or packed down by the crowds, hurry yourself off to t

12、he City where theres more square space of historic church, and empty.5） The Theatre. Itd be a crime to visit London and not take in a show. Londoners have been passionate about theatre for centuries. Not only is the quality high, but the price is low one third the price of Broadway.1Which tour will

15、oy the inexpensive admission.CThey enjoy the Classical Music and Opera.DThey enjoy the scene of Shakespeares Globe theatre.3.（2020届辽宁省大连市第二十四中学高三模拟） By now youve probably heard about the “youre not special” speech, when English teacher David McCullough told graduating seniors at Wellesley High Schoo

16、l: “Do not get the idea youre anything special, because youre not.” Mothers and fathers present at the ceremony - and a whole lot of other parents across the internet - took issue with his ego-puncturing words. But lost in the anger and protest was something we really should be taking to heart: our

17、young people actually have no idea whether theyre particularly talented or accomplished or not. In our eagerness to elevate their self-esteem, we forgot to teach them how to realistically assess their own abilities, a crucial requirement for getting better at anything from math to music to sports. I

18、n fact, its not just privileged high-school students: we all tend to view ourselves as above average.Such inflated （膨胀的） self-judgments have been found in study after study, and its often exactly when were least competent at a given task that we rate our performance most generously. In a 2006 study

19、published in the journal Medical Education, for example, medical students who scored the lowest on an essay test were the most charitable in their self-evaluations, while high-scoring students judged themselves much more strictly. Poor students, the authors note, lack insight into their own inadequa

20、cy. Why should this be? Another study, led by Cornell University psychologist David Dunning, offers an enlightening explanation. People who are incompetent, he writes with co-author Justin Kruger, suffer from a “dual burden”: theyre not good at what they do, and their ineptness （笨拙） prevents them fr

21、om recognizing how bad they are.In Dunning and Krugers study, subjects scoring at the bottom of the heap on tests of logic, grammar and humor extremely overestimated their talents. Although their test scores put them in the 12th percentile, they guessed they were in the 62nd. What these individuals

22、lacked （in addition to clear logic, proper grammar and a sense of humor） was metacognitive skill （元认知技巧）: the capacity to monitor how well theyre performing. In the absence of that capacity, the subjects arrived at an overly hopeful view of their own abilities. Theres a paradox （悖论） here, the author

23、s note: “The skills that develop competence in a particular domain are often the very same skills necessary to evaluate competence in that domain.” In other words, to get better at judging how well were doing at an activity, we have to get better at the activity itself.There are a couple of ways out

24、 of this double bind （两难）. First, we can learn to make honest comparisons with others. Train yourself to recognize excellence, even when you yourself dont possess it, and compare what you can do against what truly excellent individuals are able to accomplish. Second, seek out feedback that is freque

25、nt, accurate and specific. Find a critic who will tell you not only how poorly youre doing, but just what it is that youre doing wrong. As Dunning and Kruger note, success indicates to us that everything went right, but failure is more ambiguous: any number of things could have gone wrong. Use this

26、external feedback to figure out exactly where and when you screwed up.If we adopt these strategies - and most importantly, teach them to our children - they wont need parents, or a commencement（毕业典礼） speaker, to tell them that theyre special. Theyll already know that they are, or have a plan to get

27、that way.8What does the underlined phrase “took issue with” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?Atotally approved of Bdisagreed withCfully understood Dheld discussion about9What is the problem that shouldnt be overlooked in the authors opinion?Awe dont know whether our young people are talented or notByoung people cant reasonably define themselvesCno requirement is set up for young people to get betterDwe always tend to consider ourselves to be privileged10Which is NOT mentioned ab
