A notice at IKEA Shanghai has been shared widely among netizens on Chinese social media It states that the store’s cafeteria now requires customers to order food before sitting down in cafeteria seats The policy is in response to an elderly blind dating group that occupies seats for a long time consuming only their own food brought from home Do you support IKEA’s new regulation China Daily
readers share their opinions with us
Lee Xin (China)
The elderly are harmless They are lonely and are probably hoping to find some company again If anything the store should at least sympathize with these old people
Mbursian (US)
This is more for socializing than for romance I really don’t think a home furnishing store is a good dating place for seniors
IKEA could also post a reasonable time limit per visit during peak hours Or instead of tables and chairs they could use those standing tables and get rid of the chairs altogether At least IKEA’s cafeteria isn’t occupied by the dancing grannies and their portable PA systems
Mr Qiu (Shanghai China 65 years old)
We have been to fast food outlets like McDonald’s but there are barely any peers there We feel like aliens surrounded by youngsters If there is another place in Shanghai where elderly people can gather we are more than ready to pay twice as much and travel further
TedM (UK)
Romance can arise in many places even IKEA However this debate arose as a result of many people taking advantage of IKEA’s generous drink offers and going there to meet and stay with friends without buying anything IKEA is a shop it exists to provide a service for a reasonable profit It is not a public park
Michel (New Zealand)
To everyone romanticizing this please also consider that the store has an image to uphold while protecting the interests of other paying customers It is ugly to take up seats for such long durations while you make others wait
31 How many people are in support of this new regulation
A 2 B 3 C 4 D 5
32 What is the major cause of this new regulation
A Senior blind dates influencing their business
B IKEA has zero tolerance for romantic behavior
C The strong reaction of netizens on social media
D Old people eating their own food to save money
33 People who are against the new regulation will probably agree that
A seniors’ love affairs can contribute to the store’s image
B IKEA is the only place where seniors can find their peers
C the society is being too judgmental and lacks understanding
D IKEA should not reserve a special area for the old people to date
B
Director James Cameron went to new depths for his filmmaking on Sunday by setting the world record for the deepest ocean dive by a single person
This type of extreme research is nothing new to the director Cameron 57 is most famous for directing Titanic (1997) and Avantar (2009) During the several years of research for Titanic he famously traveled to the bottom of the ocean to visit the sunken ship He also visited the deep sea as research for his fictional 1989 film The Abyss which is about a submarine that comes across an alien species Most people know me as a filmmaker Cameron said But the idea of exploring the ocean has always been the stronger drive in my life
Cameron and his team had been preparing for the trip for seven years On Sunday Cameron took more than two and a half hours to make the dangerous 68mile journey down to the Trench an area with nearfreezing temperatures no sunlight and heavy water pressure Cameron traveled in a 24footlong minisubmarine he helped design equipped with lights and 3D camera
s for filming the adventure It also had a mechanical arm for collecting samples of soil and deepsea creatures Humans had not visited the Mariana Trench since two divers first reached the deepsea spot in 1960 The divers Don Walsh and Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard spent 20 minutes there but could hardly see anything They took no pictures
In his wellequipped submarine Cameron was able to spend three hours in the Trench exploring and filming He plans to use his recordings in a 3D film production for movie theaters and for a National Geographic TV special I see this as the beginning Cameron said It's not a onetime deal This is just the beginning of opening up this new frontier
34 We learn from the passage that James Cameron______
A won't dive again in the future
B is known as a filmmaker to most people
C is the only one who has ever been to the deep ocean
D is famous for having reached the deepest ocean with his friends
35 Which of the following is TRUE about the
film The Abyss
A It takes place underwater
B It was Cameron's first fictional film
C Cameron spent seven years researching for it
D Cameron dived to the bottom of the Trench for it
36 It can be inferred from the passage that________
A Cameron is very interested in hightech
B Cameron plans to use his recordings in the deep sea in all his films
C Cameron will continue his exploration of the deep ocean
D Cameron wants to make a lot of money from his exploration
37 What's the best title for the passage

B James Cameron’s Autobiography
C Hardship Under Water
D A Director's Deep Dive
C
Don't get mad the next time you catch your teenager texting when he promised to be studying He simply may not be able to resist A UI (University of Iowa) study found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors The findings may help
explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the longterm payoff of studying
For the teenager the rewards are attractive says Professor Jatin Vaidya an author of the study They draw adolescents Sometimes the rewards are a kind of motivation for them Even when a behavior is no longer in a teenager's best interest to continue he will still go on That’s because the effect of the reward is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults
For parents that means limiting distractions so teenagers can make better choices Take the homework and social media dilemma for example At 9 pm shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facebook or Twitter the researchers advise I m not saying they shouldn’t be allowed access to technology Vaidya says But some help in netting their concentration is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse(动)control skills
In their study Vaidya and coauthor Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are impulsive make bad decisions and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes(额叶) of their brains are not fully developed But the UT researchers wonder whether something more fundamental is going on with adol
escents to cause behaviors independent of higherlevel reasoning
We want to try to understand how the brains reward system changes from childhood to adulthood says Vaidya who adds the reward character in the human brain is easier than decisionmaking We’ve been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescence behavior than an underdeveloped frontal lobe he adds For their study the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents aged 13 and 16 and 40 adults aged 20 and 35 to participate
In the future researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological aspects of their results
38 What does the passage mainly tell us
A Adolescents care more about instant rewards
C Adolescents are most fond of texting to friends
B Adolescents cannot resist temptation of bigger rewards
D Adolescents are sensitive to the effect of their behaviors
39 What is the underlined word distractions closest in meaning to
A Immediate rewa
rds B The pull of social media
C Concentration training D Obstacles to attention
40 Which statement agrees with Jatin Vaidya's idea
A Children should have access to the Internet
B Children need help in maintaining their attention
C Parents should help children in making decisions
D The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents
41 What result does teenagers’ brain underdevelopment lead to
A Making good decisions B Avoiding risky behavior
C Joining in dangerous actions D Doing things after some thought
D
In life we're often torn between the person we want to be and the person we ought to be Yet while many hesitate to take the risks of becoming their ideal self' a new study shows that people regret not running after their passion
Inspired by research published in the 1990s psychologist Thomas Gilovich along with his colleague built upon his original study which proved that regrets came from what people hadn't done by looking into the content of people's most enduring regrets grown from not living up to our ideal self as opposed to not living according to our ought self
Researchers began by explaining the difference between regrets concerning the ideal self and the ought self before asking participants to list their regrets Across the six different studies conducted as part of this project participants said they experienced regrets concerning their ideal self more often They also mentioned more idealself regrets than oughtself regrets when asked to list their regrets in life so far
Our work is the first to show that people's biggest life regrets more often involve failures to live up to their ideal self than their ought self the researchers said They advise that people go on with caution as the best way to live depends on how much weight you place on your ought self and your ideal self If you care more about your ought self you'll be wise to minimize your regrets by thinking twice before going ahead and seizing the moment
Despite this research however knowing what you want and pursuing that passion are two different things Maybe you'll be encouraged by a quote from Mark Twain Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did So throw off the bowlines sail away from the safe harbor and catch the trade winds in your sails
42 What did Thomas's original study prove
A People didn't take a risk in life
B People regretted what they hadn't done
C People lived up to their ideal self
D People regretted pursuing their passion
43 How was the researchers' new study carried out
A By analyzing six different studies
B By analyzing people's various responses
C By explaining the difference among regrets
D By comparing idealself and oughtself regrets
44 What did the researchers advise people to do
A Look back now and then
B Think twice before feeling regretful
C Live according to their choice
D Care more about their own life
45 What is implied in Mark Twain's quote in the last paragraph
A Everyone should be forced to pursue their goals
B Everyone should make full use of their surroundings
C Everyone should have the courage to pursue their goals
D Everyone should stop themselves from getting disappointed

Researchers set out to study why couples often tend to look like one another They asked 11 male and 11 female participants to judge the age attractiveness and personality of 160 reallife married couples Photographs of husbands and wives were viewed separately so the participants didn’t know who was married to whom
The test’s participants rated men and women who were actual couples as looking alike and having similar personalities Also the longer the couples had been together the greater the similarities The researchers guess that the sharing of experiences might affect how couples look
The idea that there is a connection between appearance and personality might seem strange at first
but there could be biological reasons for a link said the study member Tony Little from the University of Liverpool in England
The face displays our emotions and over time emotional expressions may become written in the face Little told live science For example someone who smiles a lot may develop lines and muscles that are suggestive of someone who is happy
Other studies have shown that partners who are genetically similar to each other tend to have happier marriage
The new study indicates that people have genetically similar to each tend to have happier marriage
The new study indicates that people have different features when using facial appearance to make decisions about someone’s personality and that the particular cues(暗示)focused on change from face to face What is vital to the decision however are eyes and smiles
Smiles are important social cues that may tell us whether or not someone is friendly and eyes are also a traditional focus of attention Little said
Overall face shape can be important too For example the combination of large chins and dominant brow ridges(脊)can create an impression of disagreeableness and being unwilling to cooperate Little said
21 Why do we like those who look like us
A They tend to like us B Opposites usually attract each other
C Their personalities are similar to ours D We often marry those who look like us
22 Why do some old lovers look alike according to the researchers
A They live in the same place for a long time
B Their similar experiences might affect their appearance
C They learn from each other in their daily life
D They’re closely connected with each other biologically
23 Which part of a person’s face can help you judge whether heshe is paying attention to you

Nowadays more and people are too busy with work to relax themselves We have no time to tell a bedtime story to our children or enjoy a nice dinner with our family or take a break to think about how we live the precious life or even meet friends All we notice is that the distinctions that used to guide and steady usbetween Sunday and Monday public and private here and thereare gone We have
more ways to communicate but less and less to say partly because we’re so busy communicating
Maybe that’s why more and more people I know even if they have no religious belief seem to be turning to yoga or meditation or tai chi Some friends of mine try to go on long walks every Sunday or to forget their cellphones at home A series of tests in recent years has shown that their brains become both calmer and sharper after spending time in quiet rural settings
In my own case I often turn to extreme measures to try to keep my sanity and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all I’ve not yet used a cellphone and I’ve never tweeted Facebook I tried not to go online till my day’s writing was finished and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan
None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism(苦行义)：It’s just pure selfishness Nothing makes me feel better calmer clearer and happier than being in one place absorbed in a book a conversation or a piece of music It’s actually something deeper than mere happiness It’s joy which the monk David SteindlRast describes as that kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happensThat is the highest of the
highest we have been longing forThe joy of quiet
24 Why does the writer sometimes do nothing at all
A He is out of work B Whatever he does makes no sense
C He can enjoy himself in his leisure time D He is worried about his writing
25 What does the writer mean when using the word forget in the second paragraph
A Trapped in busy work they are really forgetful
B They think the cellphone is not a suitable means of communication
C They leave their cellphones at home on purpose
D They hate modern techniques such as the cellphone
26 What can we learn from the passage
A The writer is unwilling to help others since he is selfish
B Slowing down to find and space to think and enjoy ourselves is urgent
C It is better to go back to the ancient times since we are so busy now
D We have more to say because we have more ways to communicate
27 What is the main idea of the passage
A Enjoying quiet time is very important
B We can do some sports such as yoga to relax
C To feel better we should do nothing at all
D The more we communicate the better we will feel
C
An idea that started in Seattle’s public library has spread throughout America and beyond The concept is simple help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起) the If All of Seattle Read the Same Book project in 1998 her original program used author visits study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities and even to Hong Kong
In Chicago the mayor (
市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the One Book One Chicago program As a result reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the cit across the US stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character
The only problem arose in New York where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population This may show that the idea works best in mediumsized cities or large towns where a greater sense of unity (致) can be achieved Or it may show that New Yorkers missed the point putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book itself
Ultimately as Nancy points out the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word
28 What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy
A To invite authors to guide readers
B To encourage people to read and share
C To involve people in community service
D To promote the friendship between cities
29 According to the passage where would the project be more easily carried out
A In large communities with little sense of unity
B In large cities where libraries are far from home
C In mediumsized cities with a diverse population
D In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached
30 The underlined words shared a word in Paragraph 5 probably mean _______
A exchange ideas with each other B discussed the meaning of a word
C gained life experience D used the same language
31 According to Nancy the degree of success of the project is judged by _______
A the careful selection of a proper book
B the growing popularity of the writers
C the number of people who benefit from reading
D the number of books that each person reads
D

Is sorry the hardest word Not for the British man Michael Gove 61 has apologized recently to his former French teacher 62 his bad behaviors in class It took him 30 years to express regret In a letter 63 (publish) in a magazine Mr Gove says It may be too late to say I'm sorry But as my mom told me it's never too late to set the record straight
Researchers argue that people have too high expectations of the power of saying sorry Some psychologists say in a study that 64 (receive) an apology isn't as 65 (help) as people think Nevertheless apologie
s might be an important social tool as they reaffirm the 66 (exist) of rules that need to be observed
The man's apology might have been accepted by his old teacher but he might get 6 7 (he) into trouble
According to the Daily Mail Mr Gove's mother didn't know her son was causing trouble at school and she 68 (say) He would have been punished 69 I had known he was being so naughty Later Gove said I can never express my apology to him face to face these daysit just goes through to his answering machine But when I do 70 (eventual) speak to him I will tell him a good sorry

The annual national reading survey shows people's reading habits has barely changed over the past several years The survey says about 59 percents of the adults in China read books with one adult in average reading 45 books a year This means a large number of people don't read and those who do so read only a few books a year
An equally worrying fact is because that even students teenagers in particular seem to be avoiding books as they spend more time and energy watching videos
There are many reasons that fewer people today read books To begin with given the fastchanging social atmosphere many people today tend spend time on hobbies rather than books In additional many senior family members have become indifferent to reading thereby () failed to cultivate (培养) the love for books among his children and grandchildren The lack of public libraries too was responsible for the falling number of readers

A notice at IKEA Shanghai has been shared widely among netizens on Chinese social media It states that the store’s cafeteria now requires customers to order food before sitting down in cafeteria seats The policy is in response to an elderly blind dating group that occupies seats for a long time consuming only their own food brought from home Do you support IKEA’s new regulation China Daily
readers share their opinions with us
Lee Xin (China)
The elderly are harmless They are lonely and are probably hoping to find some company again If anything the store should at least sympathize with these old people
Mbursian (US)
This is more for socializing than for romance I really don’t think a home furnishing store is a good dating place for seniors
IKEA could also post a reasonable time limit per visit during peak hours Or instead of tables and chairs they could use those standing tables and get rid of the chairs altogether At least IKEA’s cafeteria isn’t occupied by the dancing grannies and their portable PA systems
Mr Qiu (Shanghai China 65 years old)
We have been to fast food outlets like McDonald’s but there are barely any peers there We feel like aliens surrounded by youngsters If there is another place in Shanghai where elderly people can gather we are more than ready to pay twice as much and travel further
TedM (UK)
Romance can arise in many places even IKEA However this debate arose as a result of many people taking advantage of IKEA’s generous drink offers and going there to meet and stay with friends without buying anything IKEA is a shop it exists to provide a service for a reasonable profit It is not a public park
Michel (New Zealand)
To everyone romanticizing this please also consider that the store has an image to uphold while protecting the interests of other paying customers It is ugly to take up seats for such long durations while you make others wait
31 How many people are in support of this new regulation
A 2 B 3 C 4 D 5
32 What is the major cause of this new regulation
A Senior blind dates influencing their business
B IKEA has zero tolerance for romantic behavior
C The strong reaction of netizens on social media
D Old people eating their own food to save money
33 People who are against the new regulation will probably agree that
A seniors’ love affairs can contribute to the store’s image
B IKEA is the only place where seniors can find their peers
C the society is being too judgmental and lacks understanding
D IKEA should not reserve a special area for the old people to date
B
Director James Cameron went to new depths for his filmmaking on Sunday by setting the world record for the deepest ocean dive by a single person
This type of extreme research is nothing new to the director Cameron 57 is most famous for directing Titanic (1997) and Avantar (2009) During the several years of research for Titanic he famously traveled to the bottom of the ocean to visit the sunken ship He also visited the deep sea as research for his fictional 1989 film The Abyss which is about a submarine that comes across an alien species Most people know me as a filmmaker Cameron said But the idea of exploring the ocean has always been the stronger drive in my life
Cameron and his team had been preparing for the trip for seven years On Sunday Cameron took more than two and a half hours to make the dangerous 68mile journey down to the Trench an area with nearfreezing temperatures no sunlight and heavy water pressure Cameron traveled in a 24footlong minisubmarine he helped design equipped with lights and 3D camera
s for filming the adventure It also had a mechanical arm for collecting samples of soil and deepsea creatures Humans had not visited the Mariana Trench since two divers first reached the deepsea spot in 1960 The divers Don Walsh and Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard spent 20 minutes there but could hardly see anything They took no pictures
In his wellequipped submarine Cameron was able to spend three hours in the Trench exploring and filming He plans to use his recordings in a 3D film production for movie theaters and for a National Geographic TV special I see this as the beginning Cameron said It's not a onetime deal This is just the beginning of opening up this new frontier
34 We learn from the passage that James Cameron______
A won't dive again in the future
B is known as a filmmaker to most people
C is the only one who has ever been to the deep ocean

35 Which of the following is TRUE about the

Don't get mad the next time you catch your teenager texting when he promised to be studying He simply may not be able to resist A UI (University of Iowa) study found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors The findings may help
explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the longterm payoff of studying
For the teenager the rewards are attractive says Professor Jatin Vaidya an author of the study They draw adolescents Sometimes the rewards are a kind of motivation for them Even when a behavior is no longer in a teenager's best interest to continue he will still go on That’s because the effect of the reward is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults
For parents that means limiting distractions so teenagers can make better choices Take the homework and social media dilemma for example At 9 pm shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facebook or Twitter the researchers advise I m not saying they shouldn’t be allowed access to technology Vaidya says But some help in netting their concentration is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse(动)control skills
In their study Vaidya and coauthor Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are impulsive make bad decisions and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes(额叶) of their brains are not fully developed But the UT researchers wonder whether something more fundamental is going on with adol
escents to cause behaviors independent of higherlevel reasoning
We want to try to understand how the brains reward system changes from childhood to adulthood says Vaidya who adds the reward character in the human brain is easier than decisionmaking We’ve been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescence behavior than an underdeveloped frontal lobe he adds For their study the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents aged 13 and 16 and 40 adults aged 20 and 35 to participate
In the future researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological aspects of their results
38 What does the passage mainly tell us
A Adolescents care more about instant rewards
C Adolescents are most fond of texting to friends
B Adolescents cannot resist temptation of bigger rewards
D Adolescents are sensitive to the effect of their behaviors
39 What is the underlined word distractions closest in meaning to
A Immediate rewa
rds B The pull of social media
C Concentration training D Obstacles to attention
40 Which statement agrees with Jatin Vaidya's idea
A Children should have access to the Internet
B Children need help in maintaining their attention
C Parents should help children in making decisions
D The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents
41 What result does teenagers’ brain underdevelopment lead to
A Making good decisions B Avoiding risky behavior
C Joining in dangerous actions D Doing things after some thought
D
In life we're often torn between the person we want to be and the person we ought to be Yet while many hesitate to take the risks of becoming their ideal self' a new study shows that people regret not running after their passion
Inspired by research published in the 1990s psychologist Thomas Gilovich along with his colleague built upon his original study which proved that regrets came from what people hadn't done by looking into the content of people's most enduring regrets grown from not living up to our ideal self as opposed to not living according to our ought self
Researchers began by explaining the difference between regrets concerning the ideal self and the ought self before asking participants to list their regrets Across the six different studies conducted as part of this project participants said they experienced regrets concerning their ideal self more often They also mentioned more idealself regrets than oughtself regrets when asked to list their regrets in life so far
Our work is the first to show that people's biggest life regrets more often involve failures to live up to their ideal self than their ought self the researchers said They advise that people go on with caution as the best way to live depends on how much weight you place on your ought self and your ideal self If you care more about your ought self you'll be wise to minimize your regrets by thinking twice before going ahead and seizing the moment
Despite this research however knowing what you want and pursuing that passion are two different things Maybe you'll be encouraged by a quote from Mark Twain Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did So throw off the bowlines sail away from the safe harbor and catch the trade winds in your sails
42 What did Thomas's original study prove
A People didn't take a risk in life
B People regretted what they hadn't done
C People lived up to their ideal self
D People regretted pursuing their passion
43 How was the researchers' new study carried out
A By analyzing six different studies
B By analyzing people's various responses
C By explaining the difference among regrets
D By comparing idealself and oughtself regrets
44 What did the researchers advise people to do
A Look back now and then
B Think twice before feeling regretful
C Live according to their choice

A
We like people who look like us because they tend to have personalities similar to ours And a new study suggests the longer we are with someone the more similarities in appearance grow
Researchers set out to study why couples often tend to look like one another They asked 11 male and 11 female participants to judge the age attractiveness and personality of 160 reallife married couples Photographs of husbands and wives were viewed separately so the participants didn’t know who was married to whom
The test’s participants rated men and women who were actual couples as looking alike and having similar personalities Also the longer the couples had been together the greater the similarities The researchers guess that the sharing of experiences might affect how couples look
The idea that there is a connection between appearance and personality might seem strange at first
but there could be biological reasons for a link said the study member Tony Little from the University of Liverpool in England
The face displays our emotions and over time emotional expressions may become written in the face Little told live science For example someone who smiles a lot may develop lines and muscles that are suggestive of someone who is happy
Other studies have shown that partners who are genetically similar to each other tend to have happier marriage
The new study indicates that people have genetically similar to each tend to have happier marriage
The new study indicates that people have different features when using facial appearance to make decisions about someone’s personality and that the particular cues(暗示)focused on change from face to face What is vital to the decision however are eyes and smiles
Smiles are important social cues that may tell us whether or not someone is friendly and eyes are also a traditional focus of attention Little said
Overall face shape can be important too For example the combination of large chins and dominant brow ridges(脊)can create an impression of disagreeableness and being unwilling to cooperate Little said
21 Why do we like those who look like us
A They tend to like us B Opposites usually attract each other
C Their personalities are similar to ours D We often marry those who look like us
22 Why do some old lovers look alike according to the researchers
A They live in the same place for a long time
B Their similar experiences might affect their appearance
C They learn from each other in their daily life
D They’re closely connected with each other biologically
23 Which part of a person’s face can help you judge whether heshe is paying attention to you
A The eyes B The nose C The mouth D The eyebrow
B
Nowadays more and people are too busy with work to relax themselves We have no time to tell a bedtime story to our children or enjoy a nice dinner with our family or take a break to think about how we live the precious life or even meet friends All we notice is that the distinctions that used to guide and steady usbetween Sunday and Monday public and private here and thereare gone We have
more ways to communicate but less and less to say partly because we’re so busy communicating
Maybe that’s why more and more people I know even if they have no religious belief seem to be turning to yoga or meditation or tai chi Some friends of mine try to go on long walks every Sunday or to forget their cellphones at home A series of tests in recent years has shown that their brains become both calmer and sharper after spending time in quiet rural settings
In my own case I often turn to extreme measures to try to keep my sanity and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all I’ve not yet used a cellphone and I’ve never tweeted Facebook I tried not to go online till my day’s writing was finished and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan
None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism(苦行义)：It’s just pure selfishness Nothing makes me feel better calmer clearer and happier than being in one place absorbed in a book a conversation or a piece of music It’s actually something deeper than mere happiness It’s joy which the monk David SteindlRast describes as that kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happensThat is the highest of the
highest we have been longing forThe joy of quiet
24 Why does the writer sometimes do nothing at all
A He is out of work B Whatever he does makes no sense
C He can enjoy himself in his leisure time D He is worried about his writing
25 What does the writer mean when using the word forget in the second paragraph
A Trapped in busy work they are really forgetful
B They think the cellphone is not a suitable means of communication
C They leave their cellphones at home on purpose
D They hate modern techniques such as the cellphone
26 What can we learn from the passage
A The writer is unwilling to help others since he is selfish
B Slowing down to find and space to think and enjoy ourselves is urgent
C It is better to go back to the ancient times since we are so busy now
D We have more to say because we have more ways to communicate
27 What is the main idea of the passage
A Enjoying quiet time is very important
B We can do some sports such as yoga to relax
C To feel better we should do nothing at all
D The more we communicate the better we will feel
C
An idea that started in Seattle’s public library has spread throughout America and beyond The concept is simple help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起) the If All of Seattle Read the Same Book project in 1998 her original program used author visits study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities and even to Hong Kong
In Chicago the mayor (
市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the One Book One Chicago program As a result reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the cit across the US stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character
The only problem arose in New York where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population This may show that the idea works best in mediumsized cities or large towns where a greater sense of unity (致) can be achieved Or it may show that New Yorkers missed the point putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book itself
Ultimately as Nancy points out the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word
28 What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy
A To invite authors to guide readers
B To encourage people to read and share
C To involve people in community service
D To promote the friendship between cities
29 According to the passage where would the project be more easily carried out
A In large communities with little sense of unity
B In large cities where libraries are far from home
C In mediumsized cities with a diverse population
D In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached
30 The underlined words shared a word in Paragraph 5 probably mean _______
A exchange ideas with each other B discussed the meaning of a word
C gained life experience D used the same language
31 According to Nancy the degree of success of the project is judged by _______
A the careful selection of a proper book
B the growing popularity of the writers
C the number of people who benefit from reading
D the number of books that each person reads
D
