Do you want to improve your physics and chemistry grades? Well, maybe you should first learn something about the struggles (奋斗) of great scientists.
The American Psychological Association did an interesting study. More than 400 students from schools in New York City took part in it. The students were divided into three groups. Group 1 read a typical textbook that describes the achievements of great scientists. Group 2 read about those scientists' personal struggles. For example, as a Jew, Einstein (爱因斯坦) ran away from Nazi Germany to avoid persecution (*). The last group read about the scientists' intellectual struggles, such as Marie Curie's failed scientific tests. These stories about struggles also told students how the scientists dealt with these obstacles障碍) .
The students took a science exam before the study. After the six-week study, they took another. Scientists found those in Groups 2 and 3 improved their science grades. Students in Group 1 didn't see a grade increase. Some of them even had lower grades after the study.
The study was led by Xiaodong Lin-Siegler, a teacher at Columbia University. According to Xiaodong, kids often think Einstein was truly intelligent. They believe they will never match him.
Many of them fail to realize that any success requires a long journey. Along the way, there are many failures失败) .
Students who read the struggle stories more probably said that great scientists were like themselves. The "great minds" also had to overcome obstacles to achieve success.
Xiaodong says today's science textbooks fail to bring science to life. As a result, students seldom regard science as part of their everyday lives. Instead, they just see a long list of facts that they have to remember. Xiaodong thinks textbooks should include more stories about how great scientists had to struggle to succeed. And students should focus more on how these scientists dealt with the obstacles they met along the way.

【回答】
21.C
【解析】细节理解题。根据原文Scientists found those in Groups 2 and 3 improved their science grades.第二组和第三组学生提高了他们的科学成绩,而这两组都是读的关于科学家是如何和困难做斗争,克服困难的,结合选项故选C。
22.B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段The American Psychological Association did an interesting study. More than 400 students from schools in New York City took part in it.可知所有参加研究活动的学生都来自纽约,故B正确,而A,C选项都没有提到,故选B。
23.A
【解析】推理判断题。根据卡片内容,他的物理成绩并没有得到提高,反而下降,根据文中Students in Group 1 didn't see a grade increase. Some of them even had lower grades after the study.可以推测他可能来自第1组,故选A。
24.B
【解析】词义猜测题。结合单词所在的句子According to Xiaodong, kids often think Einstein was truly intelligent. They believe they will never match him.孩子们认为爱因斯坦真的很聪明,他们认为他们永远没办法…..他, 根据句意,这里match意思是“比得上”,故选B。
25.C
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段students should focus more on how these scientists dealt with the obstacles they met along the way.可知晓东认为学生们不仅仅要学习科学家成功的故事,而且要更多地学习他们是如何克服困难的,结合选项故选C。
