There’s no doubt that work deadlines can be stressful. When you have too many, you can feel overcome. And nearing deadlines encourages last-minute dashes for the finish line, like when students pull ‘all-nighters’ in an attempt to achieve weeks’ worth of essay writing in a handful of hours.

Yet there’s no question deadlines can serve a positive psychological function-after all, without them, many students might never even finish their work. You can see evidence for the power of deadlines in the ‘real world’, too. For instance, in 2015, when the US National Science Foundation dropped its usual twice-yearly deadlines for grant submissions in geoscience, as part of an attempt to help the overburdened system, the effect was dramatic. Annual submissions fell by 59% without the pressure of a deadline and it seems that many scientists lacked the urgency and motivation to deliver their applications.

As new research findings shed light on the psychology of deadlines, we can learn ways that deadlines can be used to increase focus and boost perseverance.

【题目】 Online shopping has become more and more popular these years. Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.

For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2019 holiday season 59 percent of those shopping online were women.

“It shows how popular the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.

Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages 19 and 29 were responsible for some of the surprising increase in the online gift buying population this time around.

However, three-quarter of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2019. They worried about credit card security (信用卡安全), or just compared online prices with offline prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.

“But even if shoppers don't buy online, websites are becoming promotion (促销) tools for stores,” said Dan Hess, vice president of Com Score Network Inc. Hess said that actually most stores' websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.

“It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient (效率高的), more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.

1What can we know from the passage?

A.There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2019.

B.More women shopped online than men in 2019.

C.Most of the Internet users between the ages 19 and 29 were women.

D.People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.

2What does the underlined part “dashed off” probably mean?

A.Turned.B.Put off.

C.Hurried.D.Take off.

3According to Dan Hess, shopping online is ________.

A.unsafeB.convenient

C.a waste of moneyD.cheaper

4Where does the passage probably come from?

A.an introduction textbookB.a news coverage

C.an essay collectionD.brochure

International Museum Day falls on May 18. The debate over whether museums should be free is a big one right now. Some people share their opinions.

Li Jiang

I think art exhibits should be free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the museums should host a fund-raising event to help pay for the cost of upkeep.

They do it all the time. Wealthy buyers pay $100 for a plate and the proceeds are given to the museum. If you decide you want to buy the art, the proceeds should go to the artist, with a fee going to the museum.

Su Hua

Free entrance does not attract people, nor does it encourage them to appreciate it.

Sure, there are exceptions to this, but by and large human beings tend to look up to things that are difficult or costly to access.

A better option is to charge fees for regular visitors but provide free tickets as prizes for high-achieving students and others who are likely to appreciate the reward.

【题目】 GPS has completely transformed how we get around. But other animals have long had their navigation (导航) systems built right in --- like ants and bees.

“We know their eyes are quite sensitive to polarized light (偏振光), and the sky has a particular pattern of polarized light, connected with the position of the sun.” says Barbara Webb, a bioroboticist at the University of Edinburgh. You can see polarized light firsthand if you take a pair of polarized sunglasses and spin them against the sky --- the light passing through the lenses changes. Webb says the insects have polarization like that built into flat sides of their compound eyes. “You can think of it as the equal of having a little polarization directional filter (滤镜) over them or lots of sunglasses pointed in different directions.”

But Webb was curious about whether there's really enough information in the sky to give insects an accurate sense of direction. So her team built a sensor modeled after a desert ant eye and put it under artificial light meant to simulate the sky. They then fed that sensor input into a model meant to copy the brains of desert ants and other insects with a sky compass. And they found that with the insects' natural sensing and processing equipment, they can likely sense compass direction down to just a couple degrees of error.

A system based on that of insects could someday be a cheap, low-energy alternative to GPS. “Insects have very tiny brains, a brain that's using hardly any energy. And yet they're still able to navigate better than we can with GPS, which is a huge system.” Webb is now working on building a robot that can, like the desert ant, use light to get its direction. Although after sundown, it may have to ask for directions.

1What make(s) it possible for ants and bees to sense the direction?

A.Flat eyes.B.Polarization.

C.A directional filter.D.Polarized sunglasses.

2Why did Webb and her team build a sensor?

A.To copy the brains of desert ants.

B.To model after the desert ant eye.

C.To satisfy their desire for answers.

D.To test an accurate sense of direction.

3What is the future navigation system supposed to do?

A.To save energy.B.To be a substitute for GPS.

C.To guide the blind.D.To help GPS work better.

4What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To introduce an invention.

B.To praise a scientific achievement.

C.To present new scientific findings.

D.To encourage people to learn science.
