请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸(卡)上将该项涂黑。
Today the scientific community is in almost total agreement that the earth’s climate is changing and that this represents a huge threat to the planet and to us. According to a survey, with only 69% accepting the earth is warming— only 1 in 4 Americans see global warming as a major threat, public opinion ________ the scientific conclusion.
Climate scientists and campaigners have long debated how to better communicate the message to nonexperts so that climate science can be ________ into action. According to Christopher Rapley, the usual tactic(策略) of climate experts to provide the public with information isn’t________ because “it does not address key potential causes.” We are all exposed to the evidence of climate change on an almost a daily basis. The information is almost ___________.
Then what’s wrong? _______our brains.
Daniel Gilbert mentioned our brains’ failure to accurately notice gradual change. Robert
Gifford also _________the point about our brains’ difficulty in grasping climate change because of limited cognition and social ______ with other people (“Why should we change if X won’t?”) “ A more powerful barrier is the ___________ of perceived （感知的）behavioral control; ‘I’ m only one person; what can I do ?’ is certainly a big one. For many, the first challenge will be in recognizing barriers _____ they can overcome them”
But for those of us who understand that climate change is a problem yet make little effort
to cut the number of overseas trips we make or the amount of meat we consume, neither the uncaring attitude nor denial really explains the _________between our actions and beliefs. Lertzman has come to the conclusion that the conflict between ________ both the planet and our way of life is too painful to bear. “When we don’t ________ the pain of that, that’s when we get ______and can’t move forward.” Lertzman refers to this ________ as “environmental melancholia(忧郁症),” and points out that there’s a lot to be said for providing a means______ acceptable to talk about.”
Rosemary Randall suggests that climate change is such a(n) __________ subject that it “can raise fears and anxieties that people feel have no_________ in polite conversation.”
Lertzman says the community has been slow to realize the value of psychology. Gifford says otherwise,________—“ climate change, and not mental health, is the biggest psychological problem”
Despite the pain, shame, difficulty in fully addressing climate change, both Lertzman and Gifford are still _______ about our ability to face up to the challenge. “There can’t be anything about the human mind that stops us struggling with these issues , given that so many people ______ are — maybe that’s what we should be focusing on instead.” says Lertzman.

Mosquitoes have an extraordinary ability to target humans far away and fly straight to their unprotected skin. Regrettably，mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy(发痒的）wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases，including Dengue， yellow fever and malaria.
Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year. New research now shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite.
Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath. They smell the carbon dioxide gas，which all mammals breathe out. This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby.
But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects，with even smaller brains，use three senses to find a blood meal.
Michael Dickinson’s team used plumes—a material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel. They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume.
Then，the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter colored floor and walls of the tunnel. Mr Dickinson said，at first，the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all.
“What was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO2，they change their behavior quite obvi ously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs (斑点）.”
This suggested to the researchers that a mosquito’s sense of smell is more important in the search for food. Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human or animal，they also follow visual signals.
1.What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their targets?
A. Sense of smell. B. Sense of touch.
C. Sense of sight. D. Smart brains.
2.The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the experiment is .
A. to fly to the dark ones
B. to catch and stick to them
C. to take no notice of them
D. to attach themselves to them
3.How can we avoid being attacked by mosqu itoes according to the text ?
A. Don’t let them see us.
B. Use dark objects to stop them.
C. Make them fly back and forth for hours.
D. Attract them to objects full of carbon dioxide gas.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A. How Do Mosquitoes Survive?
B. Why Do Mosquitoes Need Blood?
C. How Do Mosquitoes Choose to Bite You?
D. Why Do Mosquitoes Attack the Human Being?

Attitudes Wired in Happy and Successful Brains
I’ve carefully examined happy and successful people from all different professions —actors, scientists, comedians, musicians, etc. They share very similar philosophies. Here are some of the fundamental attitudes and beliefs that contribute to their happiness and success:
◆ ①
This is one of the most commonly recited mottos in self-improvement. Individuals who see their mistakes and failures as a learning experience are much more prone to happiness and success.
When we adopt the belief that “failure is a part of learning,” we become more resilient and courageous in the face of new challenges.
Instead of avoiding situations where we may embarrass ourselves, we embrace these challenges in life, even when we know they can be risky and painful. When we do fail, we don’t see it as the end of the world, but a point to improve upon.
◆ ②
Many people are great at finding problems and being critical about their lives; however, they do this without ever suggesting a possible solution or alternative to their situation.
They complain about this and that, but they never take an active role to actually improve these things. They focus on problems not to learn from them or fix them, but to make excuses for why their lives are miserable and unpleasant.
I believe acknowledging problems in life is important. I don’t recommend that we ignore things in our life that disturb us or make us unhappy. However, it’s also important to think of ways we can actually respond to these problems and change our circumstances.
Ruminating over problems in our life without a plan to take action is not only a waste of time, but it makes us even more sad and depressed. If you’re going to be critical about something in your life, focus on the ways you can actually make a difference.
◆ ③
Happy and successful people are incredibly grateful for their lives and everything they have: their relationships, their home, their job, their possessions, their talents, their achievements, etc.
Although successful people are often thought of as always hungry and striving – always trying to improve things, achieve their goals, and make things better – this inner drive doesn’t take away from the fact they are very happy and content with their lives.
Gratitude is an irreplaceable characteristic of true happiness and success. Even if we achieve great things in life, without gratitude we often find ourselves empty and discontent. Make sure you take the time to reflect on how lucky you are as a person (I believe everyone can find something to be grateful for).
◆ ④
Happy and successful individuals know that we can learn a lot from other happy and successful individuals. Having peopled to look up to is a great resource for learning the beliefs and habits that contribute to other people’s success, and then modeling those beliefs and habits in our own lives.
If you want to improve a particular area of your life, then find a couple of people who already excel in that area of life. Study them. Ask them questions. Have them show you their technique and share their stories.
The more willing you are to learn from others, the more successful you will be. Talking and listening to others is one of the best ways to get more perspective into what you want to improve in life — and how you can do it.
