A
From 2008 to 2013, American households lost $l1 trillion in real estate, savings, and stocks. More than half of all U. S. workers either lost their jobs or were forced to take cuts in hours or pay during the recession. The worst may be behind them now, but the shocking losses of the past few years have reshaped nearly every facet of their lives—how they live, work, and spend—even the way they think about the future.
For Cindy, the recession began when her husband was relocated to Rhinelander, Wisconsin, by his company, forcing the family to move in a hurry. The couple bought a new house but were unable to sell their two-bedroom home in Big Lake, Minnesota. With two mortgages(抵押借款) and two young children to care for, Cindy couldn't imagine how to stretch her husband's paycheck to keep her family fed.
Then she stumbled upon an online community called Blotanical, a forum for gardeners, many with an interest in sustainability. “The more I read and discussed these practices, the more I realized this would help not only our budget but also our health,” she says.
Cindy admits that before the recession, she was a city girl with no interest in growing her own dinner. “I grew flowers mostly—I didn’t think about plants that weren’t visually interesting.” But to stretch her budget, she began putting in vegetables and fruit—everything from strawberry beds to apple trees—and as her first seedlings grew, her spirits lifted. She no longer thinks of gardening and making her own jams as just a money saver; they’re a genuine pleasure. “It’s brought us closer together as a family, too,” she says. Her kids voluntarily pitch in with(主动帮助) the garden work, and the family cooks together instead of eating out. The food tastes better —it's fresher and organic —and the garden handily fulfills its original purpose: cost cutting. Now she spends about $200 to $300 a month on groceries, less than half of the $650 a month that she used to lay out.
After discovering how resourceful she can be in tough times, Cindy is no longer easily discouraged. “It makes me feel proud to be able to say I made it myself,” she says. “I feel accomplished, and I'm more confident about attempting things I've never done before. Now she avoids convenience stores and has begun learning to knit, quilt, and make her own soap. “I don't think I would have ever begun this journey if it weren’t for the recession,” she says. “I have a feeling that from now on, it will affect my family’s health and happiness for the better.”
21. We learn from the first paragraph that the recession______.
A. had great impact on Americans’ work and life.
B. affected Americans in certain occupations.
C. had only brought huge losses in savings and stocks.
D. is over with some of the losses recovered.
22. What made the family's financial situation even worse was that they_______.
A. moved to Rhinelander in a hurry. B. had two children to raise.
C. didn't know anyone in Rhinelander. D. couldn't sell their home in Big Lake.
23. In addition, Cindy views gardening as a genuine pleasure because gardening _______.
A. helped her cut living costs almost by half.
B. enabled her to make her own jams.
C. built up family ties and kids’ enthusiasm.
D. enabled her to know more about plants.
24. What does Cindy think of the difficult times she has gone through?
A. It gave the couple and their kids a tough lesson.
B. It gave her confidence and optimism.
C. It would come again and affect the family.
D. It left a lasting psychological impact on the family.
B
　 When it’s five o’clock, people leave their office. The length of the workday, for many workers, is defined by time. They leave when the clock tells them they’re done.
　　These days, the time is everywhere: not just on clocks or watches, but on cell-phones and computers. That may be a bad thing, particularly at work. New research shows on that clock-based work schedules hinder morale（士气）and creativity.
　　Clock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours. For example: a meeting from 9 am to 10 a.m., research from 10 a.m. to noon, etc. On the other hand, task-timers have a list of things they want to accomplish. They work down the list, each task starts when the previous task is completed. It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning.
　　What, then, are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways? Does one make us more productive? Better at the tasks at hand? Happier? In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier, they had participants organize different activities—from project planning, holiday shopping, to yoga—by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under “clock time” vs “task time.” They found clock timers to be more efficient but less happy because they felt little control over their lives. Task timers are happier and more creative, but less productive. They tend to enjoy the moment when something good is happening, and seize opportunities that come up.
　 The researchers argue that task-based organizing tends to be undervalued and under-supported in the business culture. Smart companies, they believe, will try to bake more task-based planning into their strategies.
　　This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office, but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic of the economy: work organized by clock time. While most people will still probably need, and be, to some extent, clock-timers, task-based timing should be used when performing a job that requires more creativity. It’ll make those tasks easier, and the task-doers will be happier.
25. What does the author think of time displayed everywhere?
　 A. It makes everybody time-conscious.
　 B. If may have a negative effect on creative work.
　 C. It is a convenience for work and life.
　 D. It clearly indicates the fast pace of modern life.
26. What did Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier find in their experiments about clock-timers?
　 A. They seize opportunities as they come up.
　 B. They always get their work done in time.
　 C. They tend to be more productive.
　 D. They have more control over their lives.
27. What do the researchers say about today’s business culture?
　 A. It does not support the strategies adopted by smart companies.
　 B. It aims to bring employees’ potential and creativity into full play.
　 C. It places more emphasis on work efficiency than on workers’ lives,
　 D. It does not attach enough importance to task-based practice.

28. What do the researchers suggest?
　 A. Task-based timing is preferred for doing creative work.
　 B. It is important to keep a balance between work and life.
　 C. Performing creative jobs tends to make workers happier.
　 D. A scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation.
C
Overwhelmed by more information than we can possibly hold in our heads, we're increasingly handing off the job of remembering to search engines and smart phones. Google is even reportedly working on eyeglasses that could one day recognize faces and supply details about whoever you're looking at. But new research shows that outsourcing our memory ─ and expecting that information will be continually and instantaneously available ─is changing our cognitive habits.
Research conducted by Betsy Sparrow, an assistant professor of psychology at Columbia
University, has identified three new realities about how we process information in the Internet age. First, her experiments showed that when we don't know the answer to a question, we now think about where we can find the nearest Web connection instead of the subject of the question itself. A second revelation is that when we expect to be able to find information again later on, we don't remember it as well as when we think it might become unavailable. And then there is the researchers' final observation: the expectation that we'll be able to locate information down the line leads us to form a memory not of the fact itself but of where we'll be able to find it.
But this handoff comes with a downside. Skills like critical thinking and analysis must develop in the context of facts: we need something to think and reason about, after all. And these facts can't be Googled as we go; they need to be stored in the original hard drive, our long-term memory. Especially in the case of children, “factual knowledge must precede skill,” says Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology, at the University of Virginia ─ meaning that the days of drilling the multiplication table and memorizing the names of the Presidents aren't over quite yet. Adults, too, need to recruit a supply of stored knowledge in order to situate and evaluate new information they encounter. You can't Google context.
Last, there's the possibility, increasingly terrifying to contemplate, that our machines fail us. As Sparrow puts it, “The experience of losing our Internet connection becomes more and more like losing a friend.” If you're going to keep your memory on your smart phone, better make sure it's fully charged.
29. Google's eyeglasses are supposed to _____.
A. improve our memory B. function like memory.
C. help us see faces better. D. work like smart phones.
30. According to the passage, the underlined words “cognitive habits” refers to ______.
A. how we deal with information. B. functions of human memory.
C. the amount of information. D. the availability of information.
31. Which of the following statements about Sparrow's research is CORRECT?
A. We remember people and things as much as before.
B. We remember more Internet connections than before.
C. We tend to remember location rather than the core of facts.
D. We pay equal attention to location and content of information.
32. What is the implied message of the author?
A. Web connections aid our memory. B. People differ in what to remember.
C. People keep memory on smart phones. D. People need to exercise their memory.
D
We have a crisis on our hands. You mean global warming? The world economy? No, the decline of reading. People are just not doing it anymore, especially the young. Who's responsible? Actually, it's more like, What is responsible? The Internet, of course, and everything that comes with it ─Facebook, Twitter. You can write your own list.
There's been a warning about the imminent death of literate civilization for a long time. In the 20th century, first it was the movies, then radio, then television that seemed to spell doom for the written world. None did. Reading survived; in fact it not only survived, it has flourished. The world is more literate than ever before ─ there are more and more readers, and more and more books.
The fact that we often get our reading material online today is not something we should worry over. The electronic and digital revolution of the last two decades has arguably shown the way forward for reading and for writing. Take the arrival of e-book readers as an ex
