Passage One

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.

Wyatt Baldwin has been playing rock,paper,scissors since he was a kid. The game

helped him settle disagreements with his three older sisters. "I never got the chance to

pick what we watched on TV until learned the sport of rock, paper, scissors," he says.

Baldwin is president of the World Rock Paper Scissors Association. He has played

in and hosted competitions all around the globe. He once had a 43-game winning streak.

What is the secret to his success?"Look for patterns in either your opponent's moves or

behavior,"he says. As all serious rock, paper, scissors players know,there's more to the

game than luck.

People have been playing rock,paper,scissors for about 2,000 years. It is played

everywhere. Some cultures use different hand symbols, but the idea is the same. You

and an opponent each throw one of three hand symbols. You win, lose, or tie（不分胜负）。Many people think the game is all luck. It seems that your chances of winning

and losing are about the same,but the outcome of the game is not random. That's

because human behavior isn't random. There are patterns in how people make decisions.

A study at Zhejiang University, in China,looked at how people play rock, paper,

scissors. It followed 360 students in a competition. Researchers found two key patterns.

Winners tended to repeat their winning hand symbols. Losers tended to go from rock to

paper to scissors.

Knowing the psychology of the game is not a sure ticket to winning, but it can help.

Ken Watson is one of the world's best rock, paper, scissors players. He says winning

takes skill. "You have to size up your opponent." Luck and chance play a part,but"you

have to be prepared and have a strategy," he says, "Part of my strategy is being

confident."

According to Baldwin, "practice, practice, practice" is the key to success. "You can

try practicing against yourself in front of a mirror," he says." But for me, that always

ended up in a ti.

Passage Two

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.

Imagine walking through someone's apartment. The rooms are almost empty, and

the only piece of furniture are a simple table and folded sofa. There are no decorative

objects lying around —just the essentials. You open the closet to find you can count the

number of clothing items inside on one hand. The space seems more like prison cell than

a home and you may think the resident cannot afford to buy more things fill the

apartment with.

It turns out that that the apartment's owner is a minimalist who chooses to limit his

number of belongings. Minimalism goes against consumer society by dramatically

reducing possessions. Minimalists follow this philosophy to varying degrees, but they

generally claim that cutting back on excess stuff leads to a more fullfilling life.

about what they are minimizing,or trying to keep up with the latest trends. Minimalists

say this frees up their time forthings meaningful, such as exercising, traveling, and being

with loved ones.

one truly loves.

It can be unpleasant to part with belongings, but Kondo's methods have helped

minimalists remove useless things. Her technique for making space is to go through

things by category,starting with clothing, then books,papers, tiny objects, and finally,

memorable items. She instructs her followers to touch each object they own and keep

only those that sparkjoy, promising that this will lead to domestic happiness.

Kondo stresses that it is not about throwing things away, but about finding the

things you want to remain with you and striking a balance between personaljoy and

possessions. Even if you are not ready to become a minimalist, you may want to

consider reducing the number of things you own for it seems that letting go of things can
