25、

Are you tired of making so many decisions every day? People may be faced with up to 35,000 choices and a huge number of options (可选择的事物) per day. When tired of decision making, people may depend on fate (命运)—roll a dice or simply flip a coin.

Shall we make choices at random ( 随 机 )? I came to think about the benefits of random decision making when watching a TV show last night. Its main character Sheldon used the dice to randomly order food and drinks in a restaurant. He did this to free up his mind to consider some more important problems. However, his friends question the method’s success. Indeed, this random restaurant order including a large drink was too much for him. Sheldon finally realized that the random result could be improved by reducing options to leave out large drinks. This example suggests that random decision making may not always work well and it’s necessary to reduce the options before rolling a dice in some situations.

In some unimportant decision situations, randomisers make it easier to decide. But how do dice work in more important decision situations? It’s hard to accept the idea of completely depending on a dice. However, this doesn’t mean that dice or coins can’t be of any help at all.

Let me borrow another example from Sheldon. He couldn’t make up his mind when choosing a new TV set from two. His friend Amy asked him to flip a coin. Rather than blindly following the result, however, she suggested checking his emotional reaction. Did he experience happiness or disappointment when faced with the coin’s result? Sheldon’s reaction could be useful to find out which one he truly preferred.

Recently, scientists studied this decision method and found that flipping a coin led people to imagine the two different results more clearly, which resulted in a stronger emotional reaction, and then they recognised hidden preferences and made decisions more easily.

A related study further proved that randomisers simplify the choice process. When using dice, people were less likely to look for additional but unnecessary information about the different options. This helped to speed up their choices.

Taken together, recent research shows surprising benefits of flipping coins and rolling dice as long as people don’t let the results control their choices. Using them but keeping the freedom to be different from the results can speed up the decision process and help solve decision problems.

【1】The first example of Sheldon shows that random decision making   .

A.is always effective

B.helps make a good order

C.may work better with fewer options

D.can offer more solutions to important problems

【2】The writer probably agrees that   .

A.people should not roll dice or flip coins in important situations

B.people will make better choices when experiencing happiness

C.dice can speed up decision process with unnecessary information

D.reaction to the result of the randomiser may show one’s true preference

【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Follow Your Heart or Your Head?

B.Should You Let the Dice Decide?

C.Listen to Friends, or Roll a Dice ?

D.How Do You Make a Wise Decision?

26、The way we spend our time can be divided into three “bottles”. They are the necessary tasks bottle, the voluntary tasks bottle and the happiness bottle.

Every day, we spend time filling the necessary tasks bottle with useful things, like making money, doing housework, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another bottle with voluntary tasks. These are the things we do for others, but we may not enjoy them. This bottle gets filled with tasks like taking children to activities, cooking family meals, and doing laundry. Those bottles are very important. If we don’t fill them each day, our family won’t run properly.

However, we often forget to fill the third bottle—the happiness bottle that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your happiness bottle sometimes empty at the end of the day? Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies by, and before we know it, it is time for bed. We all have days like that.

That is why each day we have to make an effort to fill our happiness bottle. I fill mine by going to the dance class. And I always leave class more happily than when I enter. This week, I had the pleasure of taking part in a guitar practice in neighborhood. We show our musical talent and practice music for charity. It was a time of fun, friendship, and music-making. At the end of the evening, my happiness bottle was filled to top.

▲ Will your activities bring joy to your life? Or are the other two tasks eating up all your time? Try to find ways to achieve a balance between how you fill your three bottles. At the end of the day, hopefully, we’ve done all we can do to make sure that our happiness bottle is filled.

【1】Which activity belongs to a necessary task according to the passage?

A．Going to work though it is raining heavily.

B．Buying a birthday gift for your good friend.

C．Having a yard sale to raise money for sick kids.

D．Sending your son to a piano lesson on Sunday.

【2】What does the underlined word it mean in the third paragraph?

A．We require enough time to fill the necessary tasks bottle.

B．Necessary and voluntary tasks are less important.

C．All the three bottles are filled to top at the end of the day.

D．We need time to do something to make ourselves happy.

【3】How did the writer fill the happiness “bottle” this week?

A．By cooking meals for family.

B．By going to the dance class.

C．By practicing music for charity.

D．By listening to some nice music.

【4】Which of the following is the best for “___▲___”in the last paragraph?

A．Make sure to fill all the three bottles.

B．So consider how your time will be spent.

C．People will have more happy activities.

D．It’s not enough to fill the happiness bottle.

27、As we all know, it’s polite to follow the public customs. You may think these are common sense, but common sense is not so common. Here are some common public customs. Have you done them?

Be polite to your server The waiters or waitresses usually work 12 hours a day, always standing on their feet. How tired they are! And they have to deal with the most annoying and impolite customer. So don’t be that person who thinks waiters and waitresses have to deal with your terrible attitude. They’re just here to do their job; don’t make it harder than it is.

Put your things back on the proper shelves in supermarkets   If you decide you don’t need that item (商品), it doesn’t mean somebody else has to put it back to its place. Your action creates extra work for the already busy supermarket staff, so put the item back where you took it.

Don’t look through other things when someone hands you their phones to show a picture They only want to show you one picture. You do not have the right to look through their photos and check what they have on their phones. Imagine how embarrassing it would be if you saw something very private!

Don’t check your phone in the middle of a conversation   Unless it’s actually urgent (紧急的), please do not check your phone in the middle of a conversation with someone. It seems like you’re bored, and you make other people feel uncomfortable. Also, it’s one thing to quickly check the time and another when you just keep scrolling(翻阅).

【1】According to the passage, which of the following is polite?

A．Check your phone from time to time when talking with others.

B．Look through some private information from others’ phones.

C．Ask the staff to put the items you don’t need on the shelves.

D．Be kind to waiters or waitresses while you are being served in a restaurant.

【2】What does “common sense is not so common” mean?

A．Everybody should know about common sense.

B．Not everybody can know about common sense well.

C．Something isn’t common, though it’s common sense.

D．Something everybody knows but not everybody can do well.

【3】What does the writer want to tell us?

A．How to behave well in public.

B．Some important life rules we must know.

C．Some common sense everybody knows.

D．The ways to know about common sense.
