“Thank you for letting me observe your classes. It was an unusual experience,” the email began, which got my heart racing.
I am an industry scientist, and in my spare time I was teaching a course for computer science students at a local university. By that point in the semester, I hadn't asked the students to solve any technical problems or even open their computers. Instead, I taught them teamwork and communication and skills they’d need in industry. My approach caught the attention of the university, so a teaching expert appeared in my class. This made me wonder whether university officials would agree with the unique view I brought from industry—or remove me from the classroom.
I thought of these lessons when I started to develop the university class. The part-time role was appealing because I was eager to share my expertise and get back to working with students. But I didn’t want to use my old teaching style, which focused on lectures and whiteboard exercises. I wanted to develop the same qualities I was looking for in job candidates at my company.
I decided to use games and challenges to encourage teamwork and creativity. In one, students had to work together to decide how to survive a tough desert environment. In another, they built the tallest structure they could out of spaghetti and candies. The teaching expert sat in on one such class.
I worried they might have been taken aback(吓到). But after that unsettling opening, their email was positive: “I understand the important message you're conveying,” they wrote. “Today's industry is about people, not just computers. Keep up the good work.” Hearing that my teaching had a positive impact on their career paths was truly rewarding.
In the end, education is not just about sharing knowledge. It's also about helping students develop soft skills that will help them succeed wherever they plan to go, be it academia or industry.
4. What made the author's heart race
A. Uneasiness. B. Excitement. C. Heart failure. D. Lack of sleep.
5. Why did an expert come to the author's class
A. To teach communication skills. B. To take over the author's work.
C. To learn about the author's teaching. D. To help solve technical problems.
6. What does the author teach in class
A. Survival skills. B. Soft skills. C. Game design. D. Book knowledge.
7. What can we infer about the teaching expert
A. He has a great impact on the author's career.
B. He attaches importance to sharing knowledge.
C. He points out the leading role of the computer.
D. He shares the same teaching idea with the author.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在大学兼职教授计算机专业课程时打破传统教学方式，注重培养学生的团队合作精神以及沟通能力。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章首段“‘Thank you for letting me observe your classes. It was an unusual experience,’ the email began, which got my heart racing.（“谢谢你让我旁听你的课。这是一次不寻常的经历，”邮件开头让我心跳加速。）”以及倒数第二段中“But after that unsettling opening, their email was positive（但在那个令人不安的开头之后，他们的电子邮件是积极的）”可知，内心的紧张不安让作者的心跳加速。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“My approach caught the attention of the university, so a teaching expert appeared in my class. This made me wonder whether university officials would agree with the unique view I brought from industry—or remove me from the classroom.（我的方法引起了学校的注意，所以我班上出现了一位教学专家。这让我怀疑学校官员是否会同意我从工业界带来的独特观点，或者把我从课堂上赶出去。）”可知，学校派专家来到作者的课堂是来了解和评判他的教学方式。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“I decided to use games and challenges to encourage teamwork and creativity.（我决定用游戏和挑战来鼓励团队合作和创造力。）”以及末段中“It's also about helping students develop soft skills（这也是为了帮助学生发展软技能）”可知，作者在课堂上培养学生们的创造力以及团队精神等软技能。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Today’s industry is about people, not just computers. Keep up the good work.Hearing that my teaching had a positive impact on their career paths was truly rewarding.（今天的工业是关于人的，而不仅仅是电脑。再接再厉。听说我的教学对他们的职业道路产生了积极影响，我真的很有收获。）”可知，专家对作者的教学方法是赞同的，因此他们的教学理念是相同的。故选D。

Most environmental pollution comes from humans and their inventions. The electric bulbs are thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time. However, too much of a good thing has started to negatively impact the environment. Light pollution, the extreme or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial light, is affecting human health and wildlife behavior. There is a global movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help.
Light pollution is a global issue. This became particularly obvious when the World Atlas (地图册)of Night Sky Brightness, a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos, was published in 2016. Vast areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are glowing with light, while only Siberia, the Sahara, and the Amazon are in total darkness.
Artificial light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals. It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm(生理节奏)一the internal, twenty-four-hour clock that guides day and night activities and affects physiological processes in nearly all living organisms. One of these processes is the production of the hormone melatonin(褪黑素), which is released when it is dark and is prevented when there is light. An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin production, which results in lack of sleep, headaches, stress, anxiety, and other health problems. Blue light, in particular, has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in humans. It is found in cell phones and other computer devices, as well as in light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the kinds of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy efficiency.
Studies show that light pollution is also impacting animal behaviors, such as migration (迁徙)patterns and habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration get confused, lose their way, and often die. Large numbers of insects, a primary food source for birds and other animals, are drawn to artificial light and are instantly killed upon contact with light sources. Even animals living under the deep sea may be affected by underwater artificial lighting. One study looked at how animals in sea responded to brightly lit panels put under water off the coast of Wales. Fewer filter feeding animals(滤食性动物), such as the sea squirt(海鞘), made their homes near the lighted panels. This could mean that the artificial light is altering ocean ecosystems.
The good news is that light pollution, unlike many other forms of pollution, is reversible(可逆的)and each one of us can make a difference! Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky. Individuals are urged to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed, to make sure outdoor lights are properly shielded (遮挡)and direct light down instead of up into the sky, and to close window blinds, shades, and curtains at night to keep light inside.
8. What does the underlined phrase “wreak havoc on” in Para. 3 probably mean
A. Greatly improve. B. Well maintain.
C. Strictly manage. D. Seriously damage.
9. According to the passage, which would the author agree with
A. Light pollution was first studied as a global issue in 2016.
B. Deep-sea environment can help animals avoid light pollution.
C Artificial light affects the sense of direction and habits of animals.
D. LEDs can be used more because of low cost and energy efficiency.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the control of light pollution
A. Unconcerned. B. Negative.
C. Neutral. D. Positive.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To call on people to reduce light pollution.
B. To discuss fors and againsts of artificial light.
C. To give suggestions to protect environment.
D. To show development prospect of artificial light.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人造光对人类和动物的危害，呼吁我们要行动起来，减少光污染。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段划线短语下文“It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm(生理节奏)一the internal, twenty-four-hour clock that guides day and night activities and affects physiological processes in nearly all living organisms. (它会干扰睡眠，扰乱昼夜节律——几乎所有生物体内指导昼夜活动并影响生理过程的24小时生物钟)”和下文提到的人造光对人类和动物造成的危害可知，人造光会打扰睡眠，扰乱生理节律，对人类和动物产生危害，结合划线短语所在句子“Artificial light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals.(人造光可以对人类和动物的自然节律wreak havoc on。)”可推知，人造光可以对人类和动物的自然节律造成严重破坏。由此可知，划线短语“wreak havoc on”意思与D项“严重损害”意思一样，故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Studies show that light pollution is also impacting animal behaviors, such as migration (迁徙)patterns and habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration get confused, lose their way, and often die. (研究表明，光污染也影响动物的行为，如迁徙模式和栖息地的形成。由于光污染，在月光引导下的海龟在迁徙过程中容易迷路，甚至死亡。)”可知，人造光影响动物的方向感和习性。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The good news is that light pollution, unlike many other forms of pollution, is reversible(可逆的)and each one of us can make a difference! (好消息是，光污染，不像其他形式的污染，是可逆的，我们每个人都可以做出改变！)”可知，光污染是可逆的，每个人都可以做出改变，由此可推知，作者对光污染控制的态度是积极乐观的，故选D。
11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Light pollution, the extreme or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial light, is affecting human health and wildlife behavior. There is a global movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help.(光污染，极端或不适当的使用户外人工光，正在影响人类健康和野生动物的行为。有一个减少光污染的全球运动，每个人都可以帮忙。)”可知，文章主要介绍了人造光对人类和动物的危害，呼吁我们要行动起来，减少光污染，所以文章的写作目的是呼吁人们减少光污染。故选A。
D
On January 15, 2009, the crew of US Airways Flight 1549 experienced a never-in-a-lifetime event. Less than two minutes after takeoff, some birds found their way into the airplane’s two engines and brought them to a sudden stop. Over the next three and a half minutes, the crew managed to identify the problem, decide what to do about it, and make the most successful emergency landing in aviation (航空) history.
We all experience similar moments. Running into the person you canceled a date with – while you’re on another date. Realizing you hit “reply all” on an e-mail that you’d do anything to have back. Earthquakes, medical emergencies – whatever the situation, the first thing you probably do is panic. Everybody does. While many of us think that we’re cool in a crisis, science tells us that we seldom are. At the moment we need to be keenly aware of our surroundings, but our attention goes to the scariest thing on the scene, leaving us unaware of the other sights, sounds, and even smells around us. At the moment, we’re anything but at our best.
These normal human reactions can be reversed. For example, firefighters are taught how to bring down their blood pressure and heart rates quickly, Box breathing, belly breathing, hum breathing – you can learn these techniques in minutes. Once you calm down, you’ll identify accurately what the problem is really about. Lack of practice always causes us to judge problems in wrong ways. Doing the thinking ahead of time also helps you fire off the solution when it’s show time. This is why you are advised to find the closest exit before the flight. And sometimes we aren’t prepared with all the knowledge we need. Let’s say we’re on a hike and a bear shows up. What shall we do Better to read suggestions on how to respond before heading into the wild.
Performing in a crisis is becoming more important for all of us for two reasons. Back in the good old days, the reliability of most anything we used or did was far less than it is today. Now think about what happens to our preparedness as the likelihood of something had happening reduces. Unless we practice what hardly ever happens, our ability to respond when it does happen tends to slip away. Reliability can kill you. Also, the systems we use today are more complex. There are seldom moving parts in plain view that allow us to see when things are about to go wrong. Consequently, terrible situations can “come out of nowhere”. Ironically, the systems that were designed to lessen our workload might require us to remain in a state of increased vigilance (警觉) in order to survive these increasingly infrequent events when they do happen.
As technology becomes part of most everything, and as once-large risks break into countless small ones, crisis situations may become standard affairs. We should all learn to breathe, recognize the situation, and carry out the plan that we are smart enough to prepare well in advance.
12. According to the passage, when an armed robbery (抢劫) happens, most witnesses will first ______.
A. observe the surroundings
B. pretend to be calm
C. decide what to do
D. focus on the gun
13. What does the underlined word “reversed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Tested.
B. Changed.
C. Predicted.
D. Understood.
14. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ______.
A. things are less dependable than they used to be
B. cautiousness helps prevent the occurrence of crisis
C. convenience reduces our problem-solving capability
D. the complexity of present systems ensures our safety
15. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To introduce ways of avoiding crisis situations.
B. To point out the connection between stress and risks.
C. To raise awareness of the preparation for emergencies.
D. To analyse the influence of technology on crisis management.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文，主要通过分析现在风险的普遍性，进而提醒人们应该提升对危机的预警意识。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段倒数第二句话“At the moment we need to be keenly aware of our surroundings, but our attention goes to the scariest thing on the scene, leaving us unaware of the other sights, sounds, and even smells around us.”可知，当时，我们应该要意识到周边的环境，但我们往往关注的是现场最怕人的东西，使得我们看不到其他的东西，听不到什么声音，甚至闻不到什么味道。可见遇到危机时，我们关注的是最吓人的东西。所以，当面对持枪抢劫时，大部分人关注的是最怕人的那个东西——枪。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。由第二段以及第三段的第一句话“These normal human reactions can be reversed.”可知，在紧急情况下人们会害怕，恐慌，这些都是正常反应。这些正常反应可以反转，可以改变。结合下文，下文举例说明消防员通过学习可以降低自己的血压和心跳速度，让自己冷静。所以这里reverse跟change的意思接近，故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段“Unless we practice what hardly ever happens, our ability to respond when it does happen tends to slip away. Reliability can kill you. Also, the systems we use today are more complex. There are seldom moving parts in plain view that allow us to see when things are about to go wrong.”可知，如果我们不模拟一些不怎么发生的事情，当事情确实发生时，我们的应变能力逐渐下滑。这种依赖性足以致命。而且，我们现在使用的体系更加复杂，在事情即将发生之前，很少看出什么异象。结合上文，这里主要是说跟过去相比，我们更有更多的东西可以依赖，比如技术等，但太多的依赖对我们来说不是好事，反而会让我们失去警觉。所以说技术是双刃剑，好的方面是给我们带来便利，不好的是降低我们的警觉度，进而降低我们解决问题的能力。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。结合全文尤其是最后一段可知，随着科技融入到生活得方方面面，以及曾经的那些大的风险变成无数的小风险，风险可能会成为正常事件。我们应该学会冷静，认清问题，按照我们事先准备好的计划去执行。这是本文的中心段，由此可知，本文是主要呼吁要提前做好准备，要有预警意识。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了，在长江禁渔令实施后，前渔民王朝生（音译）向生态友好型养鱼人的转变及其生活。
【41题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：在刚刚结束的春节假期中，前渔民王朝生一直在忙着打理鱼塘，添加新鱼苗，并欢迎游客前来，他们愿意花钱将自己的渔获捕到的鱼带回家。主语和宾语都是同指一人“王朝生”，宾语用反身代词himself。故填himself。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：在刚刚结束的春节假期中，前渔民王朝生一直在忙着打理鱼塘，添加新鱼苗，并欢迎游客前来，他们愿意花钱将自己的渔获捕到的鱼带回家。不止一位游客，用可数名词visitor的复数形式。故填visitors。
【43题详解】
考查不定式。句意：在刚刚结束的春节假期中，前渔民王朝生一直在忙着打理鱼塘，添加新鱼苗，并欢迎游客前来，他们愿意花钱将自己的渔获捕到的鱼带回家。net用不定式形式作目的状语。故填to net。
【44题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：这位60岁的老人住在中国西南部的贵州省思南县，在长江支流乌江当了27年渔民。用定冠词the特指60岁的老人“王朝生”。故填the。
【45题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：在他年轻的几年里，王朝生日以继夜地努力工作，一年最多能挣30万元到40万元。固定搭配at most (至多)。故填at。
【46题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：但2021年1月1日，为了生态保护和绿色发展，长江实行了为期10年的禁捕令，王朝生的生活发生了变化。定语从句主语a 10-year fishing ban和定语从句谓语动词introduce是被动关系，结合时间状语on Jan 1, 2021可知，用一般过去时的被动语态，从句主语a 10-year fishing ban单数，从句谓语单数形式。故填was introduced。
【47题详解】
考查时态。句意：乌江流经思南县近一半的乡镇，因此在禁渔令开始之前，该县开始采取措施保护渔民的福利。讲述客观事实，谓语动词flow用一般现在时，主语Wujiang River单数，谓语单数形式。故填flows。
【48题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：王朝生是那些转向生态友好型养鱼的人之一。本句已有系动词is且无连词，动词switch用非谓语形式，逻辑主语those与动词switch是主谓关系，switch用现在分词（doing）表主动，作those的后置定语。故填switching。
【49题详解】
考查让步状语从句的省略。句意：虽然怀念过去的捕鱼时光，但他明白弃船“有助于保护环境”，而且他的新工作报酬更高，更可持续。首字母大写，该句是Though/Although/While引导的让步状语从句的省略，原句为Though/Although/While he is missing the old days of fishing，当从句主语与主句主语一致且从句含有be动词，常省略从句的主语和be动词，省略后为：Though/Although/While missing the old days of fishing。故填Though/Although/While。
【50题详解】
考查比较级。句意：虽然怀念过去的捕鱼时光，但他明白弃船“有助于保护环境”，而且他的新工作报酬更高，更可持续。结合并列连词and前面的形容词比较级better-paid，此处也用形容词比较级more sustainable，作并列表语。故填more sustainable。

Reading have a lot of benefits. It can open up our eyes because of books are full of knowledge. I like reading newspapers and magazines from that I get lots of fun and learn about what’s going on around the world. I also read storybooks or novels which make me relaxing and happy. I seldom read e-book because they’re bad for eyes. On weekends, I usual spend a whole afternoon read in the library. And I also read for about half the hour before going to bed every night. Now I am going to read more classics as well as English books improve my language skills. I’m sure reading can make a difference to my life.
【答案】1. have→has
2. 去掉because of中的of
3. that→which
4. or→and
5. relaxing→relaxed
6. e-book→e-books
7. usual→usually
8. read→reading
9. the→an
10. improve前加to
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了读书的好处和作者的阅读经历。
【详解】1. 考查主谓一致。句意：阅读有很多好处。本句是Reading动名词作主语，当作第三人称单数看，描述的是客观事实，用一般现在时。故将have改为has。
2. 考查介词。句意：它可以打开我们的眼界，因为书充满了知识。because of后接名词，because后接句子，引导原因状语从句，本句中because of后是一个完整的句子，应该用because引导。故去掉because of中的of。
3. 考查定语从句。句意：我喜欢读报纸和杂志，从中我得到很多乐趣，并了解世界各地正在发生的事情。分析句子结构可知，from that引导的是定语从句，先行词是magazines，在从句中作宾语，此处是介词+which引导定语从句的结构，that不用于介词后。故将that改为which。
4. 考查连词。句意：我也读故事书和小说，这使我放松和快乐。句中storybooks和novels并列，且本句是肯定句，所以应用and连接，or用于否定和疑问句中。故将or改为and。
5. 考查形容词。句意：我也读故事书和小说，这使我放松和快乐。此处是固定短语：make sb. adj.其中形容词作宾语补足语修饰宾语，本句中relaxing修饰me，修饰人应该用-ed形式。故将relaxing改为relaxed。
6. 考查名词。句意：我很少看电子书，因为它们对眼睛不好。e-book意为“电子书”为可数名词，根据句意，句中应用复数形式。故将e-book改为e-books。
7. 考查副词。句意：在周末，我通常花整个下午在图书馆读书。分析句子结构可知，usual修饰后文的动词，应该用副词修饰。故将usual改为usually。
8. 考查非谓语动词。句意：在周末，我通常花整个下午在图书馆读书。此处是固定搭配：spend+时间+(in) doing sth.意为“花时间做某事”。故将read改为reading。
9. 考查冠词。句意：每天晚上睡觉前我还会读大约半个小时的书。此处是固定搭配：half an hour意为“半小时”。故将the改为an。
10. 考查非谓语。句意：现在我要读更多的经典以及英语书籍来提高我的语言技能。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词am going to read，所以improve用非谓语形式，根据句意，此处表目的，应用不定式作目的状语。故在improve前加to。

“Thank you for letting me observe your classes. It was an unusual experience,” the email began, which got my heart racing.
I am an industry scientist, and in my spare time I was teaching a course for computer science students at a local university. By that point in the semester, I hadn't asked the students to solve any technical problems or even open their computers. Instead, I taught them teamwork and communication and skills they’d need in industry. My approach caught the attention of the university, so a teaching expert appeared in my class. This made me wonder whether university officials would agree with the unique view I brought from industry—or remove me from the classroom.
I thought of these lessons when I started to develop the university class. The part-time role was appealing because I was eager to share my expertise and get back to working with students. But I didn’t want to use my old teaching style, which focused on lectures and whiteboard exercises. I wanted to develop the same qualities I was looking for in job candidates at my company.
I decided to use games and challenges to encourage teamwork and creativity. In one, students had to work together to decide how to survive a tough desert environment. In another, they built the tallest structure they could out of spaghetti and candies. The teaching expert sat in on one such class.
I worried they might have been taken aback(吓到). But after that unsettling opening, their email was positive: “I understand the important message you're conveying,” they wrote. “Today's industry is about people, not just computers. Keep up the good work.” Hearing that my teaching had a positive impact on their career paths was truly rewarding.
In the end, education is not just about sharing knowledge. It's also about helping students develop soft skills that will help them succeed wherever they plan to go, be it academia or industry.
4. What made the author's heart race
A. Uneasiness. B. Excitement. C. Heart failure. D. Lack of sleep.
5. Why did an expert come to the author's class
A. To teach communication skills. B. To take over the author's work.
C. To learn about the author's teaching. D. To help solve technical problems.
6. What does the author teach in class
A. Survival skills. B. Soft skills. C. Game design. D. Book knowledge.
7. What can we infer about the teaching expert
A. He has a great impact on the author's career.
B. He attaches importance to sharing knowledge.
C. He points out the leading role of the computer.
D. He shares the same teaching idea with the author.
C
Most environmental pollution comes from humans and their inventions. The electric bulbs are thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time. However too much of a good thing has started to negatively impact the environment. Light pollution, the extreme or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial light, is affecting human health and wildlife behavior. There is a global movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help.
Light pollution is a global issue. This became particularly obvious when the World Atlas (地图册)of Night Sky Brightness, a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos, was published in 2016. Vast areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are glowing with light, while only Siberia, the Sahara, and the Amazon are in total darkness.
Artificial light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals. It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm(生理节奏)一the internal, twenty-four-hour clock that guides day and night activities and affects physiological processes in nearly all living organisms. One of these processes is the production of the hormone melatonin(褪黑素), which is released when it is dark and is prevented when there is light. An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin production, which results in lack of sleep, headaches, stress, anxiety, and other health problems. Blue light, in particular, has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in humans. It is found in cell phones and other computer devices, as well as in light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the kinds of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy efficiency.
Studies show that light pollution is also impacting animal behaviors, such as migration (迁徙)patterns and habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration get confused, lose their way, and often die. Large numbers of insects, a primary food source for birds and other animals, are drawn to artificial light and are instantly killed upon contact with light sources. Even animals living under the deep sea may be affected by underwater artificial lighting. One study looked at how animals in sea responded to brightly lit panels put under water off the coast of Wales. Fewer filter feeding animals(滤食性动物), such as the sea squirt(海鞘), made their homes near the lighted panels. This could mean that the artificial light is altering ocean ecosystems.
The good news is that light pollution, unlike many other forms of pollution, is reversible(可逆的)and each one of us can make a difference! Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky. Individuals are urged to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed, to make sure outdoor lights are properly shielded (遮挡)and direct light down instead of up into the sky, and to close window blinds, shades, and curtains at night to keep light inside.

On January 15 2009, the crew of US Airways Flight 1549 experienced a never-in-a-lifetime event. Less than two minutes after takeoff, some birds found their way into the airplane’s two engines and brought them to a sudden stop. Over the next three and a half minutes, the crew managed to identify the problem, decide what to do about it, and make the most successful emergency landing in aviation (航空) history.
We all experience similar moments. Running into the person you canceled a date with – while you’re on another date. Realizing you hit “reply all” on an e-mail that you’d do anything to have back. Earthquakes, medical emergencies – whatever the situation, the first thing you probably do is panic. Everybody does. While many of us think that we’re cool in a crisis, science tells us that we seldom are. At the moment we need to be keenly aware of our surroundings, but our attention goes to the scariest thing on the scene, leaving us unaware of the other sights, sounds, and even smells around us. At the moment, we’re anything but at our best.
These normal human reactions can be reversed. For example, firefighters are taught how to bring down their blood pressure and heart rates quickly, Box breathing, belly breathing, hum breathing – you can learn these techniques in minutes. Once you calm down, you’ll identify accurately what the problem is really about. Lack of practice always causes us to judge problems in wrong ways. Doing the thinking ahead of time also helps you fire off the solution when it’s show time. This is why you are advised to find the closest exit before the flight. And sometimes we aren’t prepared with all the knowledge we need. Let’s say we’re on a hike and a bear shows up. What shall we do Better to read suggestions on how to respond before heading into the wild.
Performing in a crisis is becoming more important for all of us for two reasons. Back in the good old days, the reliability of most anything we used or did was far less than it is today. Now think about what happens to our preparedness as the likelihood of something had happening reduces. Unless we practice what hardly ever happens, our ability to respond when it does happen tends to slip away. Reliability can kill you. Also, the systems we use today are more complex. There are seldom moving parts in plain view that allow us to see when things are about to go wrong. Consequently, terrible situations can “come out of nowhere”. Ironically, the systems that were designed to lessen our workload might require us to remain in a state of increased vigilance (警觉) in order to survive these increasingly infrequent events when they do happen.
As technology becomes part of most everything, and as once-large risks break into countless small ones, crisis situations may become standard affairs. We should all learn to breathe, recognize the situation, and carry out the plan that we are smart enough to prepare well in advance.

A. things are less dependable than they used to be

A. To introduce ways of avoiding crisis situations.
