8．There is a unique place where deserted factories have been transformed into a lively artistic zone-where the city's tradition and heritage （遗产） meet with cutting-edge art and fashion．This is Redtory．
Located at Yuancun Si Heng Lu，not far from the Pearl River of Guangzhou city，Redtory is a creative cultural and industrial zone made up of more than 30 old buildings-mostly red-brick ones．Back in 1956，it used to be the biggest canning factory in China．The factory produced the Can Dace （鲮鱼） with Black Bean Sauce，an iconic food product in the last century，well-known throughout south-east Asia．After the local government's industrial structure reformations，the canning factory moved away and the workshops were left deserted．There was nothing left but memories in well-preserved Soviet-style buildings．
Not long after the noise of the running machines was gone，posters of advertisement and art were found hanging on the wall in the area．To enrich the cultural and artistic life of the people in Guangzhou，the abandoned factories reopened in 2009-displaying art，fashion and culture of different forms．Redtory is home to more than 40 establishments including art galleries，themed restaurants and design studios．Large international cultural exchange activities，art exhibitions and seminars are often held here，attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors every year．Meanwhile，waste materials have been used wisely instead of being thrown away．For instance，some installations （设施） standing around the area are made up of the rusty machines or components from the old canning factory．
The shabby and nostalgic （怀旧的） appearance combined with fashionable and artistic features makes Redtory uniquely attractive．That may be the reason that Redtory is considered the holy land for young art-lovers in Guangzhou．

5．Today we'll talk about reading．When we read a text，our eyes move across a page in short，quick movements．We recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate（停留，凝视）．Each time they fixate，we see a group of words．This is known as the recognition span or the visual span．The length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to person．It also varies within any person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text．In addition，it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness．
Unfortunately，in the past，many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the page．As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading，many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation．For example，in some exercises，words are flashed on to a screen for a tenth of a second．One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point，taking in the words on either side．Such word patterns are often formed in the shape of pyramids，so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive（连续的）fixation．All these exercises are very clever，but it's one thing to improve a person's ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently．Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words．Consequently，for these reasons，many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training，especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated（孤立的）words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text．

72．The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following factors exceptC．
A.1ighting and tiredness              B．one's purpose in reading
C．the length of a group of words     D．one's familiarity with the text
73．What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in the second paragraph？B
A．The ability to see words is not needed for an efficient reading．
B．The reading exercises mentioned are of little help to an efficient reading．
C．The reading exercises mentioned can help improve reading．
D．The reading exercises mentioned have done a great job so far．
74．The author may believe that readingA．
A．demands a deeply-participating mind
B．requires a reader to see words more quickly
C．requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation
D．demands more eyes than mind

6．Work-life balance：Ways to restore harmony and reduce stress
Finding work-life balance in today's frenetically paced world is no simple task．
Spend more time at work than at home，and you miss out on a rewarding personal life．Then again，when you face challenges in your personal life，such as caring for an aging parent or coping with marital problems，concentrating on your job can be difficult．
Whether the problem is too much focus on work or too little，when your work life and your personal life feel out of balance，stress-along with its harmful effects-is the result．
The good news is that you can take control of your work-life balance-and give yourself the time to do the things that are most important to you．The first step is to recognize how the world of work has changed．Then you can evaluate your relationship to work and apply some specific strategies for striking a healthier balance．
How work invades your personal life
There was a time when employees showed up for work Monday through Friday and worked eight-to nine-hour days．The boundaries between work and home were fairly clear then．But the world has changed and，unfortunately，the boundaries have blurred for many workers．Here's why：
●Global economy．As more skilled workers enter the global labor market and companies outsource or move more jobs to reduce labor costs，people feel pressured to work longer and produce more just to protect their jobs．
●International business．Work continues around the world 24hours a day for some people．If you work in an international organization，you might be on call around the clock for troubleshooting or consulting．
●Advanced communication technology．Many people now have the ability to work anywhere-from their home，from their car and even on vacation．And some managers expect this．
●Longer hours．Employers commonly ask employees to work longer hours than they're scheduled．Often，overtime is mandatory．If you hope to move up the career ladder，you may find yourself regularly working more than 40 hours a week to achieve and exceed expectations．
●Changes in family roles．Today's married worker is typically part of a dual-career couple，which makes it difficult to find time to meet commitments to family，friends and community．
Married to your work
It can be tempting to rack up the hours at work-especially if you're trying to earn a promotion or some extra money for a child's education or a dream vacation．For others，working more hours feels necessary in order to manage the workload．
But if you're spending most of your time at work，your home life will likely pay the price．Consider the pros and cons of working extra hours on your work-life balance：
●Fatigue．Your ability to think and your eye-hand coordination decrease when you're tired．This means you're less productive and may make more mistakes．These mistakes can lead to injury or rework and negatively impact your professional reputation．
●Family．You may miss out on important events，such as your child's first bike ride，your father's 60th birthday or your high-school reunion．Missing out on important milestones may harm relationships with your loved ones．
●Friends．Trusted friends are a key part of your support system．But if you're spending time at the office instead of with them，you'll find it difficult to nurture those friendships．
●Expectations．If you regularly work extra hours，you may be given more responsibility．This could create a never-ending and increasing cycle，causing more concerns and challenges．
Sometimes working overtime is important．If you work for a company that requires mandatory overtime，you won't be able to avoid it，but you can learn to manage it．Most importantly，say no when you're too tired，when it's affecting your health or when you have crucial family obligations．
Striking the best work-life balance
For most people，juggling the demands of career and personal life is an ongoing challenge．With so many demands on your time-from overtime to family obligations-it can feel difficult to strike this balance．The goal is to make time for the activities that are the most important to you．
Here are some ideas to help you find the balance that's best for you：
●Learn to say no．Whether it's a co-worker asking you to spearhead an extra project or your child's teacher asking you to manage the class play，remember that it's OK to respectfully say no．When you quit doing the things you only do out of guilt or a false sense of obligation，you'll make more room in your life for the activities that are meaningful to you and bring you joy．
●Leave work at work．Make a conscious decision to separate work time from personal time．When with your family，for instance，turn off your cell phone and put away your laptop computer．
●Manage your time．Organize household tasks efficiently．Do one or two loads of laundry every day，rather than saving it all for your day off．A weekly family calendar of important dates and a daily list of to-dos will help you avoid deadline panic．If your employer offers a course in time management，sign up for it．
●Get enough sleep．There's nothing as stressful and potentially dangerous as working when you're sleep-deprived．Not only is your productivity affected，but also you can make costly mistakes．You may then have to work even more hours to make up for these mistakes．
●Communicate clearly．Limit time-consuming misunderstandings by communicating clearly and listening carefully．Take notes if necessary．
●Nurture yourself．Set aside time each day for an activity that you enjoy，such as walking，working out or listening to music．
●Set aside one night each week for recreation．Take the phone off the hook，power down the computer and turn off the TV．Discover activities you can do with your partner，family or friends，such as playing golf，fishing or canoeing．Making time for activities you enjoy will rejuvenate you．
Remember，striking a work-life balance isn't a one-shot deal．Creating balance in your life is a continuous process．Balance doesn't mean doing everything．Examine your priorities and set boundaries．Be firm in what you can and cannot do．Only you can restore harmony to your lifestyle．
