3．Stay away from your time wasters．What takes your time away from your work？QQ？Email checking？（38）COne thing you can do is make it hard to check them-remove them from your browser（浏览器） quick links．
4．（39）ADon't take on more than you can deal with．For the distractions（分心的事物） that come in when you're doing other things，give a firm no．Or do it later．

12．I travel a lot，and I find out different"styles"（风格）of directions every time I ask"How can I get to the post office？"
Foreign tourists are often confused（困惑）in Japan because most streets there don't have names； in Japan，people use landmarks（地标）in their directions instead of street names．For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，"Go straight down to the corner．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market．The post office is across from the bus stop．"
In the countryside of the American Midwest，there are not usually many landmarks．There are no mountains，so the land is very flat；in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles．Instead of landmarks，people will tell you directions and distances．In Kansas or Iowa，for example，people will say，"Go north two miles．Turn east，and then go another mile．"
People in Los Angeles，California，have no idea of distance on the map； they measure distance in time，not miles．"How far away is the post office？"you ask．"Oh，"they answer，"it'is about five minutes from here．"You say，"Yes，but how many miles away is it？"They don't know．
It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes．What happens in such a situation？A New Yorker might say，"Sorry，I have no idea．"But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers"I don't know．"People in Yucatan believe that"I don't know"is impolite．They usually give an answer，often a wrong one．A tourist can get very，very lost in Yucatan!

32．When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place，they usuallyD．
A．describe the place carefully
B．show him a map of the place
C．tell him the names of the streets
D．refer to recognizable buildings and places
33．What is the place where people measure distance in time？B
A．New York B．Los Angeles C．Kansas D．Iowa
34．People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answerC．
A．to save time B．to cheat him C．to be polite D．for fun
35．What can we infer from the text？A
A．It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences．
B．It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly．
C．People have similar understandings of politeness．
D．New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors．

8．High-tech machines have made life easier for millions around the world．However，some people still prefer low-tech ways of doing things．Here's an example of why this is happening．You can microwave a frozen hamburger in 60 seconds．However，it won't taste as good as one you cook on the stove．And if you're in that much of a hurry，you probably won't take time to toast the bun．High-tech cooking saves time，but it doesn't make for better tasting meals．
Most people get their news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet．This has many advantages．For example，electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines．It's also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs．However，newspapers and magazines have some important advantages．They give more background and details．They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest．
Other high-tech time savers have similar disadvantages．For example，most people use the phone or email to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places．But when you use the Internet or the phone，you don't always think carefully about what you are saying，and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate．Similarly，when you word-process a homework assignment instead of handwriting it，you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy headings．However，some students are so busy with the computer that they don't pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing．

注意：

2．参考词汇：短缺 shortage （n．）；太空探索space exploration
3．文章开头和结尾已给出
Dear David，
I'm glad to receive your letter asking me about our discussion on whether space is worth exploring．Now I'm writing to tell you our opinions．Recently，students in our class have had a discussion on whether space is worth exploring.30% of us think spaceexploration is not worthwhile（高分句型一）．They think space is too far away from us and our daily life．And the money spent on space exploration can be used to solve the earth's problems such as starvation and pollution．
On the other hand，70% think space is worth exploring because we have benefited a lot from it，such as using satellites for communication and weather forecast．What's more，with further space research，we may solve the population problem by moving to other planets one day（高分句型二）．Also，space research will enable us to find new sources to solve the problem of energy shortages on the earth．．

6．Most heavy teens'attempts（61）to lose（lose） don't work，but a new study shows a big secret of those who do succeed．
They do it more（62）fortheir own sake rather than to impress their peers or please their parents．
"Most parents have the view that their teens are（63）largely（large） influenced by other people's perceptions of them，"said Chad Jensen，（64）a psychologist at Brigham Young University．"Our（65）findings（finding） suggest that teens have motivations that are more intrinsic．One implication is（66）that parents should help to focus their teen on healthy behaviours for the sake of being healthy more than for social acceptance．
Jensen and his students at BYU looked in depth at the success stories of 40 formerly overweight teens．On average the participants shed 30 pounds，（67）moving（move） them from the obese to the normal weight category．They also maintained their healthier weight for a full year．More than 60 percent（68）described （describe） their health as the primary motive．About 43 percent identified peer acceptance as a factor．
In another interview，nearly all of the teens emphasized that it was their own（69）decision（decide） to lose weight．According to teens，parents provided the most help simply by modeling healthy behaviours and （70）providing（provide） healthier options for meals and snacks．

5．"Fire!Fire!"What terrible words to hear when one wakes up．I jumped out of bed，opened the door and（61）stepped（step） outside the room．It was full of thick smoke．
I began to run，but as I was still only half-awake，I did not go towards the stairs（62）Instead，I went in a wrong direction．The smoke grew much（63）thicker（think） and I could see（64）burning（burn） wood all around me．I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window．But（65）beforeI could reach it，one of my（66）feet（foot） was caught in something soft and I fell down．The thing that made me fall like a bundle（包）of clothes，and I picked it up（67）to protect（protect） my face from the smoke and heat．
As I reached the cold air outside，my bundle of clothes gave（68）athin cry．I nearly dripped （69）itin my surprise．Then I found myself in a crowd gathered in the street．A woman in her night dress and a（70）borrowed（borrow） man's coat screamed as she saw me and came running to me madly．
She was the Mayor's wife，and I had saved her baby．

4．Dear Tom：
I am glad that you are coming to China as an exchange student．You（61）asked（ask） many questions about the Dragon Boat Festival in your letter，and now let me tell you something about it．
The Dragon Boat Festival，also called the Duanwu Festival，is celebrated（62）onthe fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar．People always eat the rice dumpling，Zongzi，and watch dragon boat races（63）to celebrate（celebrate） it．
The rice dumpling is made of rice，meat and so on．You can eat different（64）kinds（kind） of rice dumplings．They are very（65）tasty（taste）．And Dragon Boat Festival is for Qu Yuan．He is（66）anhonest minister who is said to have committed suicide（自杀）by drowning（67）himself（he） in a river．Now the festival is a statutory（法定的）3-day public holiday in China．However，it is best known for its dragon-boat races，（68）especially（especial） in the southern places（69）wherethere are many rivers and lakes．It's very popular．
Overall，the Dragon Boat Festival is very interesting!If you have any other questions，please don't hesitate to ask me．I am looking forward to（70）seeing（see） you soon．
Yours，
Li hua．
