Time Travel

If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an originalperformance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England?

What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.

The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H.G.Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by

Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.

But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theroy. They propose using cracks in time and space called“wormholes”,which could be used as shortcuts to other periods．Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances．And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light．Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task．

Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”．It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born．If the time traveler wasn't born, how would he travel back in time？

And would you really like to visit the future？In H．G．Wells' book,the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs．He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles（触角）.

If that's what's in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all．

A．People's interest in time travel

B．the special feature of the book

C．the long history of time travel

D．the contribution of H．G．Wells

2.Einstein's and Hawking's theories_________．

A．have similarities in many ways

B．push the invention of the first spaceship

C．have proved wrong by some time travelers

D．suggest the possibility to invent the time machine

3.In Paragraph 4,“grandfather paradox”probably refers to the idea that__________．

A．the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather

B．the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather

C．the grandfather's death makes the traveler's birth impossible

D．The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness

4.According to the passage, what is probably the author's attitude towards time travel？

A．Unclear． B．Skeptical．

C．Supportive．D．Unconcerned．

You've probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, voice and music teachers, career counselors, psychiatrists(精神病医师) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.

But there's a rapidly growing kind of professional who does a little bit of everything. She or he is called a “ life coach ”. People who are at crossroads in their lives, and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost, are turning to them for help.

The idea that one person’s success story can change other people’s lives for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carnegie’s famous self-improvement program “How to Win Friends and Influence People” came along soon thereafter.

But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy (心理疗法)to help others make critical life decisions.

They often give their approach a slogan, such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy”.

Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one’s career and life outside work.

Lakhani’s Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful---including battered women and struggling single mothers.

But others in the so-called “helping professions” are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and that slick(华而不实的) promoters who mess with people’s lives can do more harm than good.

1.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Working Yourself Happy.

B. Life Coaches Help with Tough Decisions.

C. How to Cope with Daily Life with Life Coaches.

D. The Life-Coaching Movement.

2.The underlined phrase “life coach” in Paragraph 2 means“_______”.

A. The career counselor who teaches skills

B. The psychiatrist who helps us cope with daily life

C. The fitness coach who teaches us lessons

D. The specialist who helps us make important life decisions

3.The last paragraph is mainly about__________.

A. the introductions of life coach

B. the disagreements of life coach

C. the effects of life coach

D. the experiences of life coach

4.What is the author’s attitude towards life coaches?

A. Cautious． B. Approving．

C. Casual． D. Disapproving．
