23、r routine. Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures, William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word habit carries a negative meaning. So it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation (创新). But brain research
24、ers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks. Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by
25、consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become. But dont bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, theyre there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel
26、 pathways that can bypass those old roads. The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder, says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind. But we are taught instead to decide, just as our president calls himself the Decider. She adds, however, that to decide is to kill off all possibilit
27、ies but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities. All of us work through problems in ways of which were unaware, she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically
28、, procedurally, collaboratively (合作地) and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life. The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights a
29、nalysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought. This breaks the major rule in the American belief system-that anyone can do anything, explains M.J.Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will. and Ms. Markovas business partner. Thats a lie that w
30、e have preserved, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what youre good at and doing even more of it creates excellence. This is where developing new habits comes in.28. Brain researchers have discovered that _.A. the forming of new habits can be guided B. the development of habits can be predicted C.
31、the regulation of old habits can be transformed D. the track of new habits can be created unconsciously29. The underlined word ruts in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _.A. zones B. connections C. situations D. tracks30. Which of the following statements most probably agrees with Dawna Markovas
32、view?A. Decision makes no sense in choices. B. Curiosity makes creative minds active. C. Creative ideas are born of a relaxing mind. D. Formation of innovation comes from fantastic ideas.31. The purpose of the author writing this article is to persuade us _.A. to give up our traditional habits delib

Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue. Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband.
35、 The device, worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the drivers respon
36、se. Tiredness is directly related to a drivers response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy. In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds,
37、showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the drivers response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warms that the driver must stop as soon as possible. The device has been delivered to the departments laboratories for testing. If th

67、shelping作文Dear Editor,Im writing to express my view about which should come first for a would-be college student: a proper major or a famous university. In my opinion, a good major is far more important than the ranking of the university. To begin with, we go to university to learn, not to show off.
68、 Besides, there is no doubt that a good major can promise a bright future.We should be careful when making a choice about the major. Firstly, we should choose what we are most interested in. If we like the major, we are more likely to achieve academic success. Secondly, it is wise to choose a major whose graduates are in great need in society.Personally, I do believe that placing the major first is a clever choice.5
