Tea production in Sri Lanka has thrived for decades. The tea gardens in Hatton, Sri Lanka are actually large tea estates. The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one meter apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimeters high. Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender shoots, or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best tea is got.

Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new shoots from the plant, which are the parts used for processing tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilograms of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days.

Processing tea shoots into our familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill. There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required. For black tea, the young green leaves are first spread out shelves to dry. This process removes much of its water and the leaves become soft. After this, the leaves are passed through heavy rollers. This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both its color and taste. Then the leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment（发酵）under wet conditions. Fermentation develops the rich taste of black tea. The fermented leaves are then dried with a hot-air blower until they become rolled-up black leaves. The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready for sale to countries all over the world.

1.The underlined word pruning means .

A. reasonable use of chemicals

B. regular cutting of the plants

C. frequent watering

D. loosening the soil

2.How many processing steps are mentioned in the last paragraph?

A. Six B. Five C. Four D. Three

3.What does the author imply in the passage?

A. Fermentation is a must to enrich the flavour of black tea.

B. Women pickers are welcomed because they can easily find the twin leaves.

C. Tea production has long been prosperous in Sri Lanka.

D. Tea pickings can be done biweekly.

“Oh, my God! Did I really just send that text?” Most people have said something that they wish they could take back. And if they had paused to think about it first, they probably would have acted differently. Pausing doesn’t pay off just when you speak. Scientific studies have shown that making a habit of pausing before you do something can actually have a big impact on how your life turns out.

In making decisions we rely on two areas of the brain. One area creates and processes emotions; the other governs logical thought. The type of decision, how we feel about it, and how prepared we are to handle it help determine which brain area has the most influence.

But our age also plays an important role. Thinking through the consequences of one’s actions is actually harder for teens because the area controlling logical thought is not fully developed until around age 25. This is why teens often feel an intense emotional drive to act impulsively--it’s how their brains are structured! Though this tendency to act without considering the outcomes can lead to problematic situations, impulsivity during the developmental years evolves because it makes teens more open to new experiences and ideas. This openness helps teens become independent adults.

The key to making impulsivity work for you--instead of against you--is to train your brain by practicing pausing. This doesn’t mean you stop taking risks or being open to new experiences. But you won’t know if the risk is worth it until you think it through. Deciding to take a risk based on logic shows self-control, not impulsivity.

What are different ways to pause? You might take a deep breath, count to 10, or ask, “Is this worth it?” Different strategies work for different people. Whatever works for you, keep doing it! By practicing pausing, you can actually change your brain. This means that over time, pausing, instead of immediately reacting, becomes your “natural” response. And with this change, people are on their way to enjoying the life rewards that come with high levels of self-control--even if they weren’t natural--born pausers!

1.What challenges teenagers________?

A. Giving natural response.

B. Making logical decision.

C. Acting before thorough thinking.

D. Choosing brain-training strategies.

2.An impulsive person tends to __________.

A. think through a risk in advance

B. show high level of self-control

C. consider or accept new ideas

D. change ideas frequently

3.According to the passage, by training one’s brain, one can __________.

A. stop taking risks

B. fully develop one’s brain

C. become more open to new experience

D. reduce the influence of emotional drive

4.What is the best title for the passage________?

A. Discover the Brain Function

B. Crying Over the Spilt Milk

C. Push the Pause Button

D. Impulsivity Works

We’ve been covering standing desks for a long time now because experts agree that sitting all day is killing us．We want to be productive while also keeping our bodies healthy．Over the years，there have been several solutions to this from fixed standing desks to adjustable ones，portable desks to ones that change into shelves．

However, the most high tech and elegant solution has to be this new smart desk called The Stir Kinetic Desk．The desk learns your daily behaviors and moves between a sitting and standing height regularly throughout the day to keep you moving without interrupting your work flow．

You can program specific sitting and standing intervals or let the desk set the schedule．If you tend to sit while returning emails in the morning，but always want to stand during that afternoon conference call，the desk will learn those regular habits and adjust the schedule to fit them. Of course，the desk can always be manually lowered or raised by using the touch screen on the lower left comer of the desk．

When switching positions，the desk gently dips and rises to let you know that a change is coming up．If you’re not ready to switch positions at that time，you can tap the touchscreen to stay sitting or standing for a while longer．

The built．in touchscreen also keeps track of your daily sitting and standing times and tells you how many calories you’ve burned．You can even set goals for how long or often you want to stand．The desk also works with fitness devices like the FitBit to track your movements．

All of that smart tech doesn’t come cheap though．The M1 desk，which is the everyday model，runs a steep $2，990，while the more executive model with added features，the F1，goes for$4，190．

While expensive，it’s worth thinking of how much time we spend at our desks．Much like a good mattress(床垫)，a good desk that works with you is worth the investment．Hopefully in a few years these smart，integrated desks will be more common and less expensive．

1.The Stir Kinetic Desk has been designed to_______．

A．help users with their work

B．keep users moving all the time

C．get users to exercise while working

D．remind users of their working schedule

2.Which is the feature of the touchscreen of the desk?

A．It can tell users when to change positions．

B．It can track users’changes of positions．

C．It can keep users in a fixed position．

D．It can detect users’health condition．

3.Which of the following can best describe the desk?

A．Productive but challenging．

B．Convenient but unaffordable．

C．Complex and impractical．

D．Multi-functional and intelligent．

4.What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?

A．To spend money on such a desk is rewarding．

B．We should get such a desk as soon as possible．

C．It won’t be long before the desk is widely used．
