25、ountriesBDo you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? Sometimes the answer isnt to just force an idea out of your mind. Instead, you might want to try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander. Yes, you heard that correctly. If you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming.Rese
26、archers from the university of California, Santa Barbara, found an association between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes having participants first do an “unusual-use task”. They had to try to come up with as many different ways to use an object as they could.Then, the pa
27、rticipants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task” again: complete a difficult task; complete an easy task; take a 12-minute break; or skip the 12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again.Surprisingly, the group that performed best was the on
28、e that completed the easy task. Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity.But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? The answer is somethi
29、ng known as “unconscious thought”. Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle (不易察觉的) way.When you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not. Be
30、cause it is free of control, it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas.Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander.38. The “unusual-use task” in Paragraph 2 means that participants
31、_.A. complete an easy taskB. think of various ways to use an objectC. take a 12-minute breakD.complete a very difficult task39. What does the underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Your brain is thinking about a problem outside of your awareness.B. Your brain knows clearly wh
32、at youre thinking and doing.C.Your brain wander in a subtle way within your control. D. Your brain refuses to receive any information from the outside world.40. The passage mainly wants to tell us that _.A. brainstorming is important to creative ideasB. problem-solving skills are important in our li
33、ves C. daydreaming is a way to improve creativityD. the more we exercise brains, the more ideas well getC More than a quarter of parents use a device to track or monitor their kids online activity, finds a survey from Common Sense Media and Survey Monkey. Its far more than the percentage of teens (1
34、5%) who think their parents are tracking or monitoring what they do online. Whether all that snooping（调查）is effective seems unclear. Only 30% of teens who responded to the survey said their parents were “extremely” aware or “very” aware of what they do online. By comparison, 52% of parents believed
35、they were “very” aware of their kids web activity.“Theres a pretty big difference between parents who say they know and what kids say parents know,” said Michael Robb, director of research for Common Sense Media. The online survey was among a national sample of 884 teens and 3,282 parents of teens.O
36、ptions for tracking kids online activities vary from tools for your router capable of tracking the websites users visit to apps letting you review your childs smart phone call logs and text messages.Devorah Heitner, author of the book Screen Wise: Helping Kids Thrive (and Survive) In Their Digital W
37、orld, suggests mentoring(指导) kids about best online practices instead of monitoring. If parents do choose to monitor, they should talk with their kids first. “You have to really ask yourself what you think youre going to learn by monitoring your kid,” she said, “Whats your plan of action if you see
38、something that concerns you?”Other findings from the survey: Snapchat is the app that causes the most anxiety for parents. The survey found 29% said the messaging apps make them most nervous, followed by Facebook at 16%.Teens dont like Facebook as much as Snapchat or Instagram. More than three-quart
39、ers of teens said they use both messaging apps, but only 49% said they use Facebook, while 42% said they use Twitter.Robb said Common Sense Media plans to partner with Survey Monkey on future online polls because the pace of technology is so rapid. “These surveys will be a quicker way to take the pu
40、lse of parents and teens.”41. Which of the following is true according to the survey?A. Some parents choose to use apps to track their kids online activity.B.Snapchat is the biggest worry for both parents and kids C. Twitter will cooperate with Facebook on future online polls.D. Kids are aware that
41、over 25% of parents use a device to track their online activity.42. By mentioning “Theres a pretty big difference between parents who say they know and what kids say parents know” in Paragraph 2,the author intends to _.A. inform that the snooping seems to be ineffectiveB. indicate that the number of
42、 parents tracking teens online is beyond the kids imaginationC. predict that more and more parents will monitor their kids online activitiesD.warn that the kids are being monitored by their parents 43. Which of the following opinions will Devorah Heitner most probably agree with?A.Parents need to as
43、k their kids permission before guiding them about online activities.B. Parents should communicate with their kids while monitoring their online activities.C. Parents had better not monitor their kids online activities.D. Parents must often reflect on their purpose of monitoring their kids online act
44、ivities.44. What can be inferred from the passage?A. It is too young for kids to go online.B. Teens dont like Facebook at all.C.Common Sense Media plans to partner with Survey Monkey in the future.D. Michael Robb is confident of the future online polls.D Im one of seven children. My three sisters an
45、d I grew up in a small bedroom with two sets of beds. We shared a closet, a dresser, and just about everything else. Our bedroom always had stuff hanging about. How about the life of only children? I looked longingly at their perfect dolls and toys placed carefully on their perfect shelves in their
46、perfect little girl bedrooms. They had bathrooms to themselves. These little girls would come home to everything just perfect.Looking back, I had to admit my “only children” friends had nice things. They had designer beds and beautiful bedrooms, but I always had someone to play with and talk to. Eve
47、n if everyone else hated me, one of my sisters would not and that was all I needed.Our house was the center of activity for the whole neighborhood. We had dance shows and baseball games in the street. We had everything we ever needed because we had each other. I have come to realize that there are s
48、o many reasons that sisters make a difference to your life and I can give you a few here:They get you. Your sisters have grown up with you so they know the entire back story of your situation and everything leading to it. They may not agree with you all the time but they never wonder why you do what
49、 you do or say what you say.They have suffered with you through awful times. I know that when one of my sisters is unhappy, I am unhappy too. When some non-family member tries to hurt you, the claws of them will come out.They have cheered you on. Sisters do get jealous at times but, even so, they ar
50、e happy that you are doing well. They rejoice at your new bonus as long as you take them out for drinks and foods！They are on the same diet as you. We are women in a world where thinness is equal to beauty. No matter how unjust this is, we are always on a diet. There is nothing like a sister calling
51、 and complaining about how she wants an ice cream and cant ever have one again.They are aging at the same rate as you. As we get older, we change, and however miserable this can be, it is heartening（令人振奋的） to know that someone shares your misery. They know what you are going through because they are
52、 going through it too.The last and best thing about sisters is that they stick with us. We can have our upsets and misunderstandings but we always come back to each other.I know many people reading this may have had upsets with their sisters. All I can say is communication fixes everything. If you m
53、iss your sister, tell her so. If you have a BFF (Best Friend Forever)that has stuck with you through thick and thin, adopt her as your sister and keep her close to you.45. How does the author develop the first paragraph?A. By making classification.B. By making comparison.C. By explaining the phenome
54、non.D. By providing evidence.46. The following sentence is taken from the passage. Where can it most probably be?“From a very young age, I really thought I was poor.”A. B. C. D. 47. Which is NOT the reason that sisters make a difference to your life?A. They grow old with you.B. They can share the sa
55、me diet with you.C.They stand by you when other family members hurt you.D. They can understand your strange behavior perfectly. 48. The underlined word “rejoice” in Paragraph 6 probably means _.A. feel gratefulB.get disappointed C. appear surprisedD. show great joy49. From the whole passage, we can
56、learn that the author _.A. has given some advice to those who had upsets with their sistersB. has expressed great sympathy for only childrenC. had a better relationship with her sisters than brothersD.has adopted her BBF as her sister50. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
57、?A.Family Love Is the Lasting Topic B. Sisters Are My Fortune in LifeC. Communication Fixes EverythingD.

58、eople of all ages openly admit their handwriting is becoming worse as keyboards replace pen and paper. Increasingly, schoolchildren deal with assignments on computer and struggle to write, having had little practice. I am of the generation that learnt to write with a dip pen in kindergarten and a fo
59、untain pen in high school; by the time I reached university, like everyone else, I used a functional ballpoint. Handwriting has filled every aspect of my life since I was first taught to shape letters on the lined pages of my exercise books. From the age of 12, I have kept a diary, recording my thou
60、ghts and feelings about both the significant and boring aspects of my life. Through this daily practice I connected with myself, explored experiences and found a way to interpret and make sense of my relationships. Although I rarely reread my written material, the process of writing has remained wit
61、h me as a means of processing my feelings and filtering (过滤) my experiences.Yet today, handwritten letters are as rare as a red panda. Few of us write letters any longer, even to those to whom we are close. We communicate differently when we e-mail or text, both methods characterized by speed and in
62、formality. The deep thinking, which came with a handwritten letter, is almost entirely absent. We may be communicating more frequently and with more people, but the depth and quality of our communication has reduced. Sadly, modern technology tends to last for a limited time. Few of us keep old e-mai
63、ls or even print them out, so a sense of history and memory is lost. Archivists (档案管理者) report that more information has been lost in the past decade than in the previous 150 years. It is too easy to press the delete (删除) button.In many other areas of records, material is now in the digital format (
64、数字格式). Yet saving material in a digital format only is extremely unstable (不稳定的). How it will survive the future remains a problem.In this digital world of text, e-mails and instant messaging (即时通讯), the value of writing is no longer clear and the case for keeping the practice of writing needs to be
65、 made. Should we save the pen and paper when laptops and mobiles are functional, common and unstoppable? Should children continue to be taught to write with a pen and paper?With its passing, a good way of self-expression is being lost. I invite readers to use handwriting and become aware of this spe

The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded.We are running out of our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals.

Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution.Still more measures should be taken to solve envi
