20．Even when you're extremely busy，you aren't using your time with 100% efficiency．There are gaps in everyone's schedule where they aren't doing anything important．Even if your schedule has no gaps，there is probably lots of time where you aren't working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could．
Why aren't you completely efficient？It's because time isn't the limiting factor．If it were the limiting factor，people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions（消遣）．Instead，people，even those who are highly productive，need to take breaks，occasionally procrastinate（拖延） and slow down on tasks throughout the day．
The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention．Energy levels limit your productivity because when you're tired，you can have ample time and still not get everything done．Your attention ability is also limited，because even if there are a million things that need to be done，you can only focus on one or two at a time．
You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices．But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything．The reason it's hard to"find time"isn't a lack of time．It's because you don't have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day．
I first suspected time wasn't the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago．I was insanely busy，but at that time I still exercised regularly．I had daily to-do lists with over twenty items，and I still found time to exercise．However，after a few weeks off，due to illness，I stopped exercising．I was not busy by any standards，in fact，my schedule was incredibly light．Despite this free time，I found it hard to find time to exercise．It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone．How can I explain this odd experience？I believe you have known it．

A．a schedule without gaps                
B．breaks and distractions

If you want to have a pleasant visit to a country，only learning language of the country isn't enough．You should find out as much informations as possibly about the manners and customs of the country．You will probably be surprising how different they are．
A visitor to India should remember which the Indians consider its impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table．In China，a man waves his head to show she doesn't agree．But in many parts on India，a wave of the head means agreement．Nodding at your head when you are given a drink，you will probably remains thirsty．
11．Selfies （自拍） have become an increasingly common way to capture memorable moments．When it comes to taking selfies，knowing the following tips can directly affect the quality of your final product．
The use of light is vital to improving image quality．Lights can help avoid shadows and create soft features on your face，so turn your face toward the main light source．If you want to be creative，play with light angles by turning your body，but make sure the photo is properly exposed and your face is lit from the front or the side．Besides，avoid taking selfies against the main light source or with overhead lighting．In addition，natural light possesses a warmth that makes you look like you're glowing．（发光）
When taking selfies，angles also matter a lot．Hold the camera away from your face，and try to take photos both horizontally（水平地） and vertically（垂直地）．If not，your face might look bigger than usual．Ideally，the universal selfie angle is 45degrees above your head．But you should study your face at different angles because finding your best angle requires you having seen all of them．
One problem with selfies is that most have distracting backgrounds．You can always do more to show others your best side．Try to simplify the background by taking selfies outdoors or in spacious areas．Document yourself engaging in interesting activities---hiking with family members，visiting landmarks，or working out with friends．At least，you can make the photo appealing by getting rid of your outstretched arm or a background that's too busy．
You can also download some photo apps that allow you to adjust the lighting and contrast．Some apps offer useful filters，which can change your skin tone and remove pimples （粉刺） on your face．

1．To get an image of high quality，you need toC．
A．be under the light source
B．be against the main light
C．face the main light source
D．have the photo fully exposed
2．How can you find the angle that suits you most？A
A．Study your face at different angles．
B．Hold the camera far enough from you．
C．Keep the camera lower than your face．
D．Place the camera 45degrees above your head．
3．Which of the following should be avoided when taking selfies？D
A．The use of natural light．
B．A landmark as a background．
C．Changes of the skin tone．
D．A busy background．
8．Swapping Houses for Vacation
When budgeting for a vacation，usually the most expensive part of the trip is the accommodations．The traditional way to take a vacation is to pack some bags，lock up the house，and travel to a new place to stay in a hotel．However，hotels are very expensive，and with rent or housing loan（贷款）due every month，it's difficult for most people to pay for yet another place to stay．（71）C  Luckily，there is a substitute called house swapping，and it's saving tourists a great deal of cash．
（72）D For example，if a couple from New York want to spend a week in Paris，they would place an ad offering to trade their New York apartment for one in Paris for a week．If a Parisian couple that want to vacation in New York read the advertisement，houses can be swapped，and both couples save hundreds，if not thousands，of dollars by avoiding big-city hotel fees．If all goes well，both couples can post positive reviews of the other's home online so that potential travelers can see that everything was fine．（73）G This builds a community of people who want to help each other out．
There are other advantages co house swapping as well．（74）F Staying at someone's home puts you in a neighborhood that can give you a better representation of the life and culture in the place you're visiting．（75）E The next time you want to spend your vacation in a new place，but don't want to pay a fortune，check what's posted online and find a house to swap．
A．House swapping is most common in New York and Paris．
B．Hotels are often quite difficult to book when you want to explore a new home．
C．A lot of times，this extra cost prevents travelers from going very far from home．
D．To swap houses，people check the Internet for others planning to travel and trade homes．
E．With many house swapping sites growing，this new phenomenon is becoming easier than ever．
F．Hotels are often located where few people live，making them a strange place to experience a city．
G．On the other hand，if there were trouble，people could write about that to wan others not to trust the swappers．
15．Rain and cold weather this summer saw honey yields from hives（巢）fall by almost three-quarters，the British Beekeepers Association（BBKA）said today．The average crop per hive was down 72% compared to last year，with just 3.6kg （81b） of honey produced compared to an annual average，the annual honey survey by the BBKA revealed．
The survey of 2，712beekeepers in England，Northern Ireland and Wales found that 88% said this summer's bad weather caused the descent in honey yields．The bad weather made it difficult for bees to excrete（排泄），which led to disease easily，and the bad weather also increased the risk of keeping bees for heavy rain caused the places which bees regularly visited to meet natural disasters．The bad weather also influenced the plants flowering which increased the cost of keeping bees．The BBKA issued a midsummer warning to feed bees if necessary to avoid dying from hunger．But in London，which recorded the worst results with just 2.5kg （5.61b）of honey harvested on average，beekeeping experts said that in addition to the bad weather there was a lack of food for bees in the city．
Angela Woods，secretary of the London Beekeepers Association，said，"Rather than putting beehives on office roofs，we encourage companies in London that want to help to look at different ways of supporting bees and beekeepers．We need more food for the bees and better-educated beekeepers．"
Elsewhere，the weather was the main problem．Peter Hutton，a beekeeper in Tunbridge Wells，Kent，said，"It has been the most difficult year I have known in my 53years of beekeeping．Bad weather in spring prevented bees in many areas from collecting nectar（花蜜）from early-flowering crops such as oilseed rape（油菜），and the rain continued in many places throughout June and July，preventing honeybees from searching for food on later crops．"
The BBKA warned that as well as reducing the honey harvest，the bad weather is likely to have a longer-term influence as it will have affected the normal process of breeding for the queens，which mate（交配）on the wing on fine，still summer days．As a result they may have mated poorly and be unable to produce enough new babies to see groups through the winter．

66．According to the passage，last year the average crop per hive might beD．
A.5kg  B.7.2kg   C.10kg   D.13kg
67．The underlined word"descent"meansA．
A．fall           B．rise          C．disease        D．variety
68．What caused the lack of food？C
A．The bad weather in both autumn and winter．
B．The bad weather in both winter and spring．
C．The bad weather in both spring and summer．
D．The bad weather in both summer and autumn．
69．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us？B
A．The bad weather just affects honey harvest．
B．The bad weather has effect on bees'breeding．
C．The bad weather only has a short-term impact on bees．
D．The bad weather has effect on bees'life in winter．
70．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？A
A．The quality of the honeybees is influenced by the bad weather．
B．London companies are encouraged to take part in helping bees and beekeepers．
C．Both the cost and the risk of keeping bees are increased because of the bad weather．
D．Better-educated beekeepers are needed to improve the bad situations that the bad weather brought to bees．
5．You might learn a great deal in school，but it's uncertain that you'll actually develop as a leader by reading a book or taking a course．The military is right about development based on experience：People grow and become leaders by making a commitment to a cause，and having personal responsibility．
For those of us in civilian life，there are also ways to develop as leaders through experience：through volunteer service．There are various nonprofit missions from which to choose as well as roles and positions in which to get involved．
Nonprofit board service is particularly convincing for business people and professionals seeking to develop as leaders．Business people who bring valuable skills and experience as well as diverse backgrounds and viewpoints are uniquely equipped to help regional，national，and global organizations to achieve success in coping with poverty，education，health care，conservation of natural resources，and other key issues．
Through nonprofit board experience，business people participate with the CEO in foreseeing an organization's greater potential，creating the income model，and achieving success．
Here's the secret to making the most of a service experience：
1．Choose a cause that's meaningful to you，and where you like the people．Determine how you can be useful-whether helping with strategic planning，inviting friends to a fund-raising event or serving on the board．If you'll be serving on the board，be clear about what will be expected of you so that you can fully devote yourself to it．
2．Be open to opportunities to raise your hand and say，"I'll help．"When you know it，you could be in charge of a committee，and eventually perhaps serving as a board officer．
3．Do pay attention to potential tutors on the board where you serve and among your friends and colleagues．Talk with other people who serve on boards to share experiences，lessons，and advice．
4．Always remember the mission．It must be what you are always thinking about most as you take part in discussions and make decisions．
5．Be generous with your time and your contributions．
Once involved，you'll be surprised at how aware you will become of who's a thoughtful leader and who's not．And then your personal experience can ensure that books and various readings on leadership development will become more meaningful．
Through my volunteer service since I was 10，I've seen first-hand the power of service in developing leadership．Most of the hundreds of business people I've trained and placed on boards have moved up to board leadership positions； the key has been that the match was right，and the board candidate was committed and ready to say，"I'll help．"
Through service，you have tremendous opportunities to develop as a leader，become a more valuable professional where you work，and make a meaningful contribution in improving your community and the world．
12．The energy crisis （危机） has made people aware of how the careless use of the earth's energy has brought the whole world to the edge of disaster．The over-development of motor transport，with its increase of more cars，more traveling，has contributed to the near-destruction of our cities and the pollution not only of local air but also of the earth's atmosphere．
Our present situation is unlike natural disasters of the past．Worldwide energy use has brought us to a state where long-range planning is vital．What we need is not a continuation of our present serious state，which endangers the future of our country，our children，and our earth，but a movement forward in order to work rapidly and effectively on planetary problems．
This country has been falling back under the continuing exposures of loss of morality and the revelation （揭露） that lawbreaking has reached into the highest place in the land．There is a strong demand for morality to turn for the better and for some devotion that is vast enough and yet personal enough to enlist the devotion of all．In the past it has been only in a way in defense of their own country and their own benefits that people have been able to devote themselves wholeheartedly．
This is the first time that we have been asked to defend ourselves and what we hold dear in cooperation with all the other people of this planet，who share with us the same endangered air and the same endangered oceans．There is a common need to reassess our present course，to change that course and to employ new methods through which the world can survive．This is a priceless opportunity．
To grasp it，we need a widespread understanding of nature if the crisis we and the world are facing is no passing inconvenience，no byproduct of the ambitions of the oil-producing countries，no environmentalists'only fears，no byproduct of any present system of government．What we face is the result of the invention of the last four hundred years．What we need is transformed life style．This new life style can flow directly from science and technology，but its acceptance depends on a sincere devotion to finding a higher quality of life for the world's children and future generation．
67．Which of the following has nearly destroyed our cities？D
A．The loss of beliefs and ideas．
B．More of law-breaking．
C．Natural disasters in many areas．
D．The rapid growth of motors．
68．By comparing past problems with present ones，the author draws our attention to the．A
A．seriousness of this crisis  
B．ineffectiveness of laws
C．similarity of the past to the present   
D．hopelessness of the situation
69．Which of the following is used as an example to show the loss of morality？B
A．Disregard for law．
B．Lack of devotion．
C．Lack of understanding．
D．Destruction of cities．
70．The author wrote the passage in order to．C
A．make a recommendation for a transformed life style
B．limit ambitions of the people of the whole world
C．demand devotion to nature and future generation
D．encourage awareness of the decline of morality．
9．This is my tomato．（改为复数形式）
Theseare ourtomatoes．
10．Tom has practiced driving for a year．So I think he will pass the driving test on his fist _____ tomorrow．（　　）
A．agreementB．suggestionC．desireD．attempt
