14、Being busy can become a way of life． Our lives are always filled with emails and text messages． They make us feel wanted and important, but in a tiring and empty way． Being busy has a dangerous allure（诱惑）． If you are busy all the time, it’s hard to sit quietly with your thoughts or to really feel what you’re feeling． Whynot let everything become a choice — how we spend time, who we reply to and how much or little we write?
Many of us are busy becauseour self-worth goes up when people make demands（需求）on our time． Whydon’t we free ourselves from needing, or even wanting? Why don’t we make the best use of the time and space to be productive in a way that it best serves us? That may be consciously（主动地）keeping ourselves not busy． In fact many great discoverieswere made by people who built white space into their day．
Imagine asking “How are you?” to one of the most successful people you know like Warren Buffet． I’ve never heard anyone at that level answer “busy” though most people believe they are．
What are they doing differently?
First, they aim to project an image that things are under control． Second, they actually have things under control． They’ve had excellent staff, implemented（实施）thoughtful processes and they spend time only on critical tasks that require their attention． They make high-level strategic decisions with a large effect．
It’s time to end the glory of being busy and spend time setting up processes that make sense, rather than simply working more hours． To do this, you need to change yourway of thinking． It’s cool to say you’re busy, but it’s better to be busy helping someone carry a stroller up the subway stairs or busy finishing a book．
How to free us from the trendof being busy? Start with small steps． For one day, be mindful of every daily activity． Consider each thing a choice and decide proactively（预先）if it’s necessary or simply a habit you can get rid of or do in half the time． Next, stop saying how busy you are． Then, figure out what you want to achieve with your day and begin doing it． Put your time and energy where you want it to be．
1．What are many of us busy doing every day?
A．Sitting quietly and think actively．
B．Meeting people’s demands on our time．
C．Making great discoveries．
D．Takinghigh-level decisions．
2．Why don’t successful people like Warren Buffet answer “busy”?
A．Because they value working abilities and attitude．
B．Because they focus on attracting excellent workers．
C．Because they pay more attention to learning management．
D．Because they think well and spend more time on critical tasks．
3．The writer probably agrees that we should ______．
A．stop considering each thing a choice
B．work more hours to achieve our goals
C．answer emails and messages as soon as possible
D．be mindful where we want our time and energy to be
4．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To advise us to be freedfrom the trend of being busy．
B．To warn us about the danger of leading a busy life．
C．To show us ways to feel good about being busy．
D．To tell us how to fit into the busy modern life．

15、The first day of school, our professor introduced an old lady Rose to us.“Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked her. She replied, “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” We became friends quickly.
At the end of the term I invited Rose to make a speech to our football team. I’ll never forget what she taught us. She said, “There are some secrets of staying young and being happy. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You must have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you will die. There is a huge difference between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t need any talent or ability. To grow up, you must always find the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The people who are afraid of death are those with regrets.”
At the end of the year, Rose finished her college. One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. We would always remember the great woman.

16、Vanuatu is an island nation in the South Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano（火山）surfing and land diving.
Volcano Surfing
On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts（爆发）almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it’s very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano—without getting hit by flying rocks! It’s fast, fun and dangerous—the perfect extreme sport（极限运动）.
Land Diving
Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony（宗教仪式）. A man ties tree vines（树藤）to his legs. He then jumps head-first from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head—without breaking the vine. Every spring, island natives (men only) still take part in this amazing activity.
1．In Line 2, what does the word “those” mean?
A．People. B．Animals.
C．Activities. D．Islands.
2．According to the passage, Mount Yasur ______.
A．is no longer active B．is on Pentecost Island
C．erupts almost every day D．rises 800 meters into the sky
3．Why have people recently started climbing Mount Yasur?
A．People can climb it easily.
B．People can make money.
C．People can watch snow on it.
D．People can surf the volcano.
4．Which of the following about land diving is true?
A．It is not dangerous at all.
B．It was first called “bungee jumping”.
C．It is a traditional activity in Vanuatu.
D．It came to Vanuatu from another country.
5．What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To tell people not to do dangerous sports.
B．To explain what volcano surfing and land diving are.
C．To talk about the world’s best volcano surfer and land diver.
D．To compare activities in Vanuatu with sports in New Zealand.

17、In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.
Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider (蜘蛛) with four legs.
Until now, even the most advanced robot was almost certain to break down when it was broken. That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.
To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals (信号) to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then work out the machine’s shape at any moment.
The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better man-made (人造的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who losethem. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals work out their own sense of place in space.
“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it’s damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in the US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”

1．（小题1）Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?
A．They have no computers inside.
B．The computer has changed a lot.
C．They cannot repair themselves.
D．The computer cannot work if the robot changes.
2．（小题2）The new technology allows the robot to .
A．do house work for humans
B．tell people where it is
C．remember a lot of information
D．keep working after being damaged
3．（小题3）The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to .
A．sensors B．arms and legs C．scientists D．robots
4．（小题4）How do the sensors in the robot work?
A．They help the computer learn the robot’s condition.
B．They can find out where the damage comes from.
C．They can replace (替代) the computer when it’s broken.
D．They can send signals to the person who uses the robot.

18、 You can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.
When you look at a book, it sends
