Worlds of Fun

Location: Worlds of Fun is located off Highway 435 in Kansas City, Missouri.

History: Worlds of Fun was opened on May 26, 1973, at a cost of 25 million dollars. Loosely themed around the Jules Verne book, Around the World in Eighty Days, the park was founded by Hunt Midwest Company. In 1982, Hunt Midwest bought a nearby waterpark, Oceans of Fun. In 2013, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun were combined to a one ticket admission, providing all guests with access to 235 acres of amusement and water rides.

Hours: Worlds of Fun is open from April through Halloween.

Tickets: Buy and print online. Always try to buy your tickets in advance, to save time when you get to the park.

Reservations: Worlds of Fun sells “Fast Lane” cards that save riders’ time by allowing them to bypass the majority of wait for most of rides and attractions including Mamba, Prowler, and Patriot. Ride as many times as you want all day long.

Strategy: Most visitors tend to begin the day with Prowler, the hottest attraction in the park. Use that tendency to your advantage and head to the Patriot first. After that, try the Dragons. Then work your way back to the Prowler. After riding the Prowler, there is only one coaster left, Mamba. Hit it next. If the park is not very crowded, you can ride Boomerang on the way to Mamba. After riding Mamba, head back for a ride on the Wolf. By then you will have tried most of the popular rides and attractions in the shortest possible time.

News: In 2017, Worlds of Fun is adding Steel Hawk, a ride that will take guests up 301 feet in the air and spin them at a 45-degree angle for a 60-second flight. Wait to have a try!

Fixed or growth mindset — which do you have?

We live in an uncertain world with all the technological advances we are experiencing， which meanse is a requirement for a change in midset (思維模式）. In order to be on top of our game both personally and organizationally, we need to develop a growth mindset.

A fixed mindset supposes that you have native abilities and are naturally clever or skilled in certain areas of life. When you receive infonnation about how you have performed in a test or set of tasks t you may worry about how you are judged. Our parents probably said to us when we were young,"Since you scored really well in the test, you must be clever." However, by being repeatedly told “You arc clever” or “You are really ga*al al your job”，a person’s self­-respect is actually dainagcd.

The growlh - mindest persona view life as a series of exciting challenges and want t o constantly learn. Brain activity occurs in this mindset when they receive information about what they could do belter or improve. They do not view their abilities as fixed or us failure. Learning is king and the more they practice , the more they know they will succeed.

What is important is giving praise around process and not around ability. For example , instead of saying"Since you got a great score, you must be clever" f say " You got a great score, and you must have tried really hard". This creates challenge in indivicluats and

The meaning of mindsets is massive for business. Fixed-mindset managers are not fans of giving feedback (反饋）. They do not want to stretch themselves or others because they fear failure. Therefore their business may stand still because there is no risk or innovation (創(chuàng)新） occurring.

Listen from your own fixed mindset 一 for example ," I can't do that” 一 and answer with a growth-mindset response 一 “I can't do that yet!" Remember there is no such thing as failure and there is s only learning. If you don't fail occasionally ，you will never learn to change and grow.

1.What is the author's opinion of people' s mindsets?

A. A growth mindstet means no failure.

B. People need develop a fixed mindset.

C. A fixed mindset focuses more on process.

D. People should develop a growth mindest.

2.Which judgment seems more encouraging?

A. You are clever.

B. You are skillful.

C. You have worked hard.

D. You arc great at your job.

3.What do the growth-mindset persons most advocate?

A. Keeping on learning.

B. Viewing ability as failure.

C. Giving praise around ability.

D. Learning from the fixed mindset.

4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Always stay in ihe same mindset

B. Think and act in different mindsets.

C. We can 't miss the chance of failure.

D. Learning is the key to success from failure.

AC/DC have postponed their US tour after singer Brian Johnson was warned by doctors that he was at risk of “total hearing loss”. This is unsurprising, given the decades that the Australian band has been pumping out the hard rock decibels(分貝). But deafness isn’t only a concern for rock musicians. In recent years it has become clear that anyone around music a lot has reason to be equally worried.

When exposed to music, risk to hearing arises from a combination of how loud the sound is and how long you’re exposed to it. If you visit a nightclub that is thumping out (響亮地奏出) music on the dance floor at 100 dB, then after only 10-15 minutes the exposure is potentially damaging. In a quieter part of the club, but where the music is still loud enough that you have to shout at your friends, then you could be there for a couple of hours before having to worry about your hearing. Of course music frequently exceeds（超過） 80-85 dB, but what counts most in assessing the risk to hearing is the average exposure.

Exposure to high noise levels often causes temporary deafness — something many people have experienced after going to a nightclub. While hearing usually recovers after a few hours or days, repeated loud exposure leads to permanent hearing damage. Initially, this damage is subtle and unlikely to be noticed by the listener. Problems only becomes significant in middle age when the noise-induced hearing loss combines with the natural loss of hearing due to ageing.

Improved technology means that the number of musicians having to give up performing could decrease, but student musicians need to be educated about the dangers of noise-caused hearing loss. The increasing use of headphones will also work against this — for musicians and everyone else. Unless people are careful with the volume（音量） level on their portable music players, hearing loss caused by music will increase.

A. Musicians tend to be victims of music.

B. It is helpful to check hearing regularly.

C. Being with music isn’t necessarily beneficial.

D. Deafness has become musicians’ major concern.

2.What’s the most important factor considered in the assessment of risk music has to hearing?

A. Its decibel.

B. The average exposure.

C. Its playing environment.

D. The listener’s sensitivity to sound.

3.People who go to nightclubs frequently tend to ________.

A. suffer from temporary headache

B. have their hearing damaged forever

C. experience natural hearing loss earlier

D. have a clear sense of their hearing damage

4.Which of the following best reflects the author’s opinion?

A. Improving technology can prevent hearing damage.

B. Students musicians are main sufferers of hearing loss.

C. Using headphones helps reduce hearing loss to a degree.

D. We can never be too careful with the volume level of music.

As is known to us, some students cheat in exams at school. As students, we often take exams at school, sometimes we have many exams that is too difficult for us. In addition, some of us are lazy and don’t work hard on our lessons. So when taken exams, we sometimes cheat in order to get good results to make our parents and teachers pleased.

In my opinion, it was wrong to cheat in exams because it breaks the rules of the schools. Our students should be honesty and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in exams. What’s more, we should improve our method of study and make well preparations for exams. With the saying goes, “Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.
