A
For years, my time spent in the shower could have got me a mention in Guinness World Records as the shortest time taken to bathe. I hurried up during this process.
One day, however, while at a party, I heard an artist friend telling everybody that his idea came while he was having a shower. “What about you?” he asked, “Don’t you get your creative thoughts from the same place?”
“I’m in and out in a hurry,” I told him proudly. “I have no time to waste!”
“What a pity,” he said. “That’s the place where you need to slow down; plenty of great thoughts come from there!” I tried it out. I slowed down the whole process, started enjoying the warm water, taking a little longer to soap myself and even spending more time just enjoying the process, and realized how much I had missed in hurrying up all these years.
A woman told me how much stress her friend was suffering from and how she sought to convince her that she needed to find ways to relax. She gave her a videotape on stress management and relaxation techniques, and encouraged her to watch it right away. Fifteen minutes later, her friend handed back the tape. “It was good,” she said, but I don’t need it.”
“But it’s a 70 - minute video,” the woman replied, “You couldn’t have watched the whole thing.”
“Yes, I did,” her friend said. “I put it in fast - forward!”
A major social problem of the 21st century is Hurry Sickness. We hurry through work. We swallow fast food. We complain that we don’t have enough time. We race through the days and weeks until one day we look back in amazement and comment, “My god, how the years flew by!” Then we realize the heavy price we have paid for traveling fast.
Symptoms of Hurry Sickness include stress and anxiety, bad relationships, lowered work performance and even disease. Some people don’t survive it. What’s the cure? Slow down, for life is so short and precious that we must live it well.
1、What was the advantage of taking a shower in the eyes of the artist friend?
A．Time was saved. B．Nothing was missed.
C．Great ideas flew away. D．Creative thoughts came.
2、What was the trouble with the woman’s friend?
A．She felt stressed. B．She found the tape useless.
C．She found no way to relax. D．She watched the tape too fast.
3、What are the major trouble people face in the 21st century in the writer’s eyes?
A．People run fast to work. B．Everything is done in a hurry.
C．People don’t have enough time. D．Time flies without being noticed.
4、How can the problem be settled?
A．By pacing down. B．By learning to survive.
C．By developing friendship. D．By performing good work.

B
It’s truly amazing when we get to cover news of people who single-handedly create something truly significant. Jadav Payeng, a man in his mid-fifties, has changed a sandbar（沙洲）in the middle of a river in Assam, India, into a huge forest. His work of the past 30 years is being recognized by tourists and film-makers, the world over.
Mulai, a Jadav is known among locals, started work on the land in 19080. A scheme was launched at that time by the social forestry department of the district, involving the planting of trees on only 200 hectares. The project was completed after 5 years and all the laborers left, except Mulai. Dedicated to the forest, he stayed on and single-handedly looked after the trees, continuing to plant more of them. Eventually, the forest expanded to 550 hectares. This is perhaps the world’s biggest forest in the middle of a river. Mulai says there’s potential to extend this even further to 1,000 hectares. Inspired, the department has planned to launch another plantation program this year.
The forest is named “Mulai Kathoni” by the local people, meaning Mulai’s forest. It is home to several thousands of varieties of trees. Bamboo alone covers about 300 hectares. And it’s not just the plants, there’s wildlife living in there too. There are about four tigers, three rhinos and more than a hundred deer, rabbits and apes. There are innumerable varieties of birds who call this place home, as well. A herd of about 100 elephants visit the place every year for six months.
Mulai lives in a small hut near the forest, with his wife, two sons and a daughter. He makes a living by selling cow and buffalo milk. I suppose people such as Mulai are an inspiration to the entire world. If one man can build a forest, it’s amazing to think what we can achieve if we work together.
1、Why did Mulai stay in Assam after 1983?
A．To raise his family. B．To plant more trees.
C．To build a home on the sandbar. D．To protect the animals.
2、Which words can best describe Mulai according to paragraph 2?
A．Wise, far-sighted. B．Lucky, creative
C．Devoted, ambitious. D．Modest, easy-going.
3、What may be the best title for the text?
A．Wildlife in Mulai’s Forest
B．India Starts a Plantation Program
C．More Efforts to Protect Our Forests.
D．Indian Man Plants a Whole Forest Alone.
