题目内容

If you live in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don't have to be like everyone else．You can be different．

I can't give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower, but here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life．

1．Do less

Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day．Focus not on quantity but on quality．Pick 2 or 3 important things－or even just one important thing－and work on those first．

2．Have fewer meetings

Meetings are usually a big waste of time and make you rush．Try to have blocks of time with no interruptions, so you don't have to rush from one meeting to another．

3．Give yourself time to get ready and get there

If you're constantly rushing to appointments or other places you have to be, it's because you don't allot（分配） enough time in your schedule for preparing and for traveling．Fill your schedule to allow time for this stuff．If you think it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date, perhaps give yourself 30 to 45 minutes so you don't have to shave in a rush or put on makeup in the car．

4．Practice being comfortable with sitting doing nothing

When people have to wait, they become impatient or uncomfortable．Try standing in a line and just watching and listening to people around you．It takes practice, but after a while, you’ll do it with a smile．

5．Realize that if it doesn't get done, that's Ok．

There's always tomorrow．And yes, I know that's a frustrating(令人感到挫败的) attitude for some of you who don't like laziness or living without firm deadlines, but it's also reality．The world likely won't end if you don't get that task done today．Your boss might get mad, but the company won't collapse and the life will unavoidably go on．

Try these things out．Life is better when unrushed．

Remember the quote: If nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you．

63．Which can be the best title of the passage?

A．How to give out our life?　　　　　 B．How not to hurry in our life?

C．What to do with our life? 　　　　　 D．How to change our life?

64．If you think you need 10 minutes to get ready for the date with your boyfriend,___．

A．you don't have to put on makeup

B．you should arrange 10 minutes for it

C．you'd better squeeze(挤出) about 35 minutes out for it

D．you should rush there

65．According to the passage, we can know_______．

A．if we follow the author's advice, our life will be better

B．we should try to do all the things better on our task list

C．there's always tomorrow, so we can put off the thing that must be done today till tomorrow

D．even if we do as we're told by the author, we can't change anything

66．The underlined word "collapse" has the similar meaning to "______"．

A．develop rapidly　 B．pay enough　　 C．drop suddenly　　 D．fail completely

It’s hardly surprising that weather is a favorite topic for so many people around the world---it affects where we choose to live, what we wear, our moods, and perhaps even our national characteristics．Studies have shown that changeable weather can make it difficult to concentrate, cloudy skies slow down reaction, and high humidity with hot, dry winds makes many people bad-tempered．
If you live in a place like Britain, where the weather seems to change daily if not hourly, you could be forgiven for thinking that the weather is random．In fact, the weather is controlled by systems which move around areas of the globe．In the UK the weather depends on depressions, often called lows, and anticyclones, also known as highs．These systems start in the Atlantic Ocean, and make their way across the British Isles from the west to the east．Highs bring sunny weather, while lows bring rain and wind．In modern times, human activities seem to be altering weather patterns．Gases produced by heavy industry change the temperature of the Earth’s surface, and affect cloud formation．Some researchers say that factories in Europe and North America may have been one of the causes of the droughts in Africa in the 1980s．
The human race has always tried to guess the weather, especially in areas of the world where there are frequent changes．Traditional rhymes point to early attempts to identify weather patterns, popular poems include:
Red sky at night, shepherds’ delight; red sky in the morning, shepherds’ warning．
Flies will swarm before a storm．
Rain before 7, clear by 11．
While folk wisdom can still provide a guide to help forecast weather, today’s methods of prediction increasingly rely on technology．Satellites, balloons, ships, aircrafts and weather centers with sensitive monitoring equipment, send data to computers．The data is then processed, and the weather is predicted．However, even this system cannot predict weather for longer than about a week．
66．When weather keeps changing, _____________．
A．people become bad-tempered
B．people’s reaction slows down
C．people find it hard to focus on their work
D．people become hungrier
67．What is mainly talked about in the second paragraph?
A．Changes in weather．     B．Weather in Britain．
C．African droughts． D．Research on weather．
68．The weather in Britain is _______________．
A．random    B．moist C．depressing D．satisfying
69．According to a traditional rhyme, if there is a red sky at night, the next day will be _______．
A．windy      B．rainy C．fine   D．snowy
70．Which of the following statements is true?
A．Anticyclones often bring rain and wind．
B．Weather forecasting has been done for a long time．
C．Weather could never be predicted．
D．Modern methods of weather prediction are developed from folk wisdom．

To switch or not to switch, that is the question．Google’s announcement of its Nexus One smartphone（智能手机） happened over a week ago and I’m still receiving lots of e-mails from readers asking the same question: Should they give up their iPhone for the Nexus One?

Some people with iPhones, disappointed by American Telephone&Telegraph’s inadequate service and the high monthly cost, are wondering if they have really got something to replace it．Does the Nexus One offer the functions that Apple has led them to expect?

I’m on the fence myself, even though I never thought I’d be interested in anything but the iPhone．From my experience using the Nexus One, and from talking to people who have made the change, it’s not necessarily about the differences between the iPhone and the Nexus One．The phones are extremely similar in design and general feel．Instead, the decision can be made based on the software（软件） services you use on your desktop．

My friend Chad Dickerson received a pre-launch Nexus One from Google three weeks ago．He said Google’s phone feels connected to certain services on the Web in a way the iPhone doesn’t．“Compared to the iPhone, the Google phone feels like it’s part of the Internet to me,” he said．“If you live in a Google world, you have that world in your pocket in a way that’s cleaner and more connected than the iPhone．”

Personally, the phones work perfectly with their own software, but both of them don’t make an effort to play well with other services．

1.Why are some iPhone users expecting a new type of phone?

A．Because their old ones are out of date．

B．Because they accept Google’s announcement．

C．Because of the limited service and high cost．

D．Because of the terrible software they can use．．

2.What’s the author’s attitude towards the new phones in the third paragraph?

A．Negative

B．Neutral

C．Indifferent

D．Positive

3.In Chad Dickerson’s opinion, the Nexus One is ________ the iPhone．

A．better than

B．worse than

C．as good as

D．as bad as

4.The best title of the passage might be ________．

A．Apple’s New Smartphone

B．Torn Between Two Phones

C．Good Services Matter

D．Google’s New Smartphone

As A/H1N1 continues to spread, experts from the Centers for Disease Control to the World Health Organization to neighborhood doctors are calling on the people to practice smart flu prevention techniques. Here are some tips to keep body improved and immune（免疫）system ready to fight infection.

Wash Your Hands

And wash them often, in hot soapy water, and for the amount of time it takes you to sing “Happy Birthday” twice.

Get Enough Sleep

This means slightly different things to different people, but try to get 8 hours of good rest each night to keep your immune system in top flu-fighting shape.

Keep Hydrated

Drink enough water each day to clear poisonous matter from your system and keep up good moisture（湿度）production in your body.

Eat Immune-Improving Foods

Keeping you body strong and ready to fight infection is important in flu prevention. Fatty foods can slow your metabolism（新陈代谢）, make you feel inactive, and weaken your immune

system. So stick with whole grains, colorful vegetables, and vitamin-rich fruits.

Avoid Alcohol

Alcohol is likely to decrease your resistance to infections and further damages the immune system. So avoid alcoholic drinks to keep your immune system strong.

—————————————？

Proper exercise-for example walking for 30-40 minutes 3-4 times a week-supports the immune system by increasing circulation, oxygenating the body, removing poisonous material through sweat, and reducing tension and stress. So get moving!

Avoid Contact with Sick People

If you’re coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth(and then wash your hands),and if you have to be around someone who is sick, try to stay a few feet away from them and avoid physical contact.

Know When to Get Help

A/H1N1 can look like regular flu, so don’t feel like you necessarily are infected if you’re exhibiting flu-like symptoms（症状）. But do go to your doctor if you live in an area where there are recorded cases, or if your symptoms are very serious.

1.To fight A/H1N1 infection, it’s helpful for us to_______ .

A．sing “Happy Birthday” while washing hands

Could a grizzly bear move to your neighborhood? If you live in the U.S. West, the answer may be yes. People and grizzly bears are living closer together now.

The grizzly bear is one of the largest meat-eating land animals in North America. In the early 1800s, about 50,000 grizzly bears lived there. Today there’re far fewer bears. Settlers built cities and roads where bears lived. Many bears were hunted and killed. Now only 1,200 to 1,400 grizzly bears have remained.

In and around Yellowstone National Park, grizzly bears have been making a comeback because of people’s efforts to protect them. Some bears are moving to areas where people live. People are also moving into grizzly countries.

People there have to learn how to live with their new, furry (毛皮的) neighbors peacefully. If someone leaves their barbecue grill（烤肉架）out overnight, or leaves their pet food or rubbish where a bear can get it, the bear will learn to come to their house for food. Grizzly bears that learn to eat people’s food can become dangerous, and they often have to be killed or moved. Also, it’s important not to surprise a grizzly. Besides, if you are hiking in a grizzly country, you should go with others and make a noise to make bears hear your coming and get out of the way. You may not want to invite grizzly bears to your next neighborhood party, but with a little effort, grizzly bears and people can live together peacefully.

1.Why does the number of grizzly bears get smaller, according to the text?

A. Settlers’ buildings break the balance of their living environment.

B. Land for them to live on is limited and they are hunted in large numbers.

C. Yellowstone National Park wants to control the number of them.

D. Living closer to humans makes them die from serious diseases.

2. How many suggestions are made for people to live with bears peacefully？

A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

3. Compared with the early 1800s, the number of grizzly bears has got smaller by ______.

A. exactly 26﹪ B. over 36﹪ C. nearly 64﹪ D. about 96﹪

4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Grizzly bears are always friendly to the people living in grizzly countries.

B. It is certain that grizzly bears and people can live together peacefully.

C. Grizzly bears are protected only in and around Yellowstone National Park.

D. The grizzly bear is one of the largest meat-eating animals in North America.

5. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?

A. How to protect yourself from grizzly bears.

B. How to get grizzly bears out of your way.

C. How to invite grizzly bears to your party.

D. How to live with grizzly bears peacefully.
