1.She described all the things she had to do ?one was to make her bed ?from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work．I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks．She was shocked，probably thinking I'd been raised by wolves in a forest．2.

Two weeks later she went into my office beaming．She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years ?and nothing bad had happened．“And you know what？”she said．“I don't dry my dishes anymore，either．”

3.One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before．The other was giving herself permission to be less than perfect．This story shows an important principle (原理) about managing time：No one can do it all．Each of us has to make choices and accept trade?offs．The problem is，many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last．They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves．4.

So what is the solution？There's an easy way．Decide what you want in your life，and put that first．On a daily basis，that should include regular meals，enough sleep and time with your family．Exercise，leisure，friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life．5.The choice is yours：whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life．Take a nap．Take a walk．Take time to play the piano．Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office．Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers ．Fill more of your time with want?to?dos instead of have?to?dos．

Television has turned 88 years old on September 7, 2015, and it has never looked better.

In its youth, television was a piece of furniture with a tiny, round screen showing unclear pictures of low­ budget programs. In spite of its shortcomings, it became well-received. Between 1950 and 1963, the number of American families with a television jumped from 9% to 92% of the population.

As the audience got larger, the technology got better. Television sets became more reliable through the 1960s. Both of the reception and the picture improved. The major networks started broadcasting programs in color.

Even greater improvements were coming according to Sanford Brown, who wrote an article for the Post in 1967. Surprisingly, just about every prediction he made in the article became a reality. For example: All sets in the not­ distant future will be color instruments. He also predicted that TV sets would become smaller, simpler, more reliable and less expensive and may forever put the TV repairman out of work. Smaller sets do not, of course, mean smaller screens. TV engineers expect screens to get much bigger. However, today's 3­D TV is even farther away, if it's coming at all. There is some doubt whether the public would be eager to pay for it, in view of people's cold reception given to 3­D movies.

But the technology with the greatest potential, according to Brown, was cable television (有线电视), which was still in its early stages then. As he predicted, the future of cable television was highly interactive. It wasn't cable television that gave Americans their electronic connection to the world, however. It was the Internet. He even foresaw the future office: using picture phones, big screen televisions for conferences, and computers providing information, at the touch of a button.

Brown ever said, “The future of television is no longer a question of what we can invent. It's a question of what we want.”

1.What can we infer about television sets in the 1960s?

A.They were very popular with Americans.

B.The reception showed no improvement

C.They showed black­-and-­white pictures

D.They were out of order now and then

2.Which of the followings did Sanford Brown fail to predict?

A.Television's good quality.

B.The invention of 3­-D TV.

C.The future office’s model

D.The potential of cable TV.

3.What is the text mainly about?

A.The shortcomings of television.

B.The bright future of television.

C.The development of television.

D.The invention of television.

The latest fashion in the kitchen is the food steamer．All the stores are selling them；everyone wants one．Steaming is one of the simplest and healthiest ways of cooking food．However，that cooking time is usually longer than with other methods．In case you’re thinking of buying a steamer，I’ve done a survey about the steamers available on the market to help you decide which will suit you best．

Folding Steamer

The simplest and least expensive is the folding stainless-steel(不锈钢)version．

Advantages：This is a good，basic design which sits inside a variety of different shapes of pans with the water under it；a ring in the centre allows for easy lifting and it's easy to clean．

Disadvantages：It only holds small dishes．Also，if you put too much water in the pan，it will boil up through the vegetables and they will be watery．If you put too little water in and let it get dry，you will burn the pan and get strange-smelling vegetables．

Steaming Pan

This is a three-layered black Teflon-coated version with a lid and two double-handled steamers，which sits on the oven ring．The brand I bought is called Nutritious Living．

Advantages：This is an excellent steamer, lightweight，easy to clean，and of all the steamers I’ve tried，this cooks the fastest．Fish and chicken can be cooked on the bottom with rice or vegetables on the top．It’s easier to store．

Disadvantages：Water can boil away until the pan is dry，but if you make sure you fill the pan up to the suggested level and do not overcook the food，this should not happen．You cannot see the food cooking from the top．It doesn’t supply a dish for cooking rice．

For serious users of steamers，I recommend having one of each version．If you just want to try it，get the folding stainless-steel type．

1.The food steamer is popular with people because ________________．

A．it can save time and money

B．food can be cooked simply and healthily

2.Which of the following is true about the folding steamers?
