题目内容

In the big cities of Europe and America — London, Paris, New York, people are moving out of the city. They are usually rich families with much money, and they want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noises and the dirty air of the city, tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to sit in traffic any more. They want a house with a garden, and clean air that is not polluted.

So they move out. Some don’t move very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities. Other people move to real countryside, with sheep, cows and horses, and green fields! There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.

Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people feel that it was a big mistake. There isn’t much to do. Country people are very different and aren’t always friendly.

As a result, quite a lot of people move back to the city. “It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,” they say. “I’m so glad I’m back in the city!” (203)

1.细节理解题。根据 They are tired of the noises and the dirty air of the city, tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses.句意:他们厌恶了噪音、城市里的脏空气,厌恶了拥挤的街道,拥挤的火车和汽车。由此可看出他们移出城市是因为拥挤和污染。故选A

2.推理判断题。根据 “It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,” they say. “I’m so glad I’m back in the city!”句意:看到街上的人群和电影院闪烁的灯真好。他们说,我很高兴我又回到了城市。从他们所说的话中可以看出他们重回城市是因为他们仍然想要过城市生活。可知应选C

What do you write down? For most of us, writing consists of emails, task lists and perhaps the odd work project. However, making time to write down certain things, such as our daily experiences and feelings, can help us in our life.

The following are some different ways that writing things down can change your life.

It clears your mind for higher-level thinking.

David Allen, productivity speaker and author of Getting Things Done, recommends doing what he calls a “core dump”. This involves writing down every task, activity, and project you need to address. This could range from picking up milk on the way home, to a multi-person project at work. Writing down every ‘to-do’ item you can think of clearing space in your head for more important topics.

It helps you process your emotions.

Writing down what’s on your mind is a great way to work through inner conflict or process your feelings around a particular situation. It’s similar to talking a situation through with a friend, and it’s a useful way of strengthening your self-soothing (自我安慰) abilities.

It gives you a record of the past.

If you keep a diary and regularly write down your thoughts and feelings, you’ll soon have a record of your experiences that you might otherwise have forgotten. Keeping a diary can also enhance your levels of self-trust. When you can look back and see how successfully you’ve done in the past, you’ll feel more confident in your ability to do so in the future.

You gain a sense of achievement.

If you write down everything you need to do in a particular day or week, you gain an additional sense of satisfaction. When having completed the task, you can cross the item off our list. Feeling productive enhances your productivity and fosters a sense of achievement and progress.

1.Can writing down things help us in our daily life?

2.How many ways can writing down things help us change our life?

3.According to David Allen’s idea, what does a “core dump” mean?

4.What is the advantage of keeping a diary?

5.What is the passage mainly about?
