21、How to Focus

Improving your focus can make you a better student or employee as well as a happier and more organized person. If you want to improve your focus, you need to learn to avoid distractions and to be prepared with a focus-filled game plan before you set out to accomplish a task. 【1】

1. Build up your focus stamina (耐力). Each person may start off with a certain amount of “focus stamina” but this is something that can be improved over time. To build your focus stamina, just give yourself a certain amount of time to do nothing but work on a certain task. 【2】 It may be just another five minutes or another half hour.

2. Meditate(沉思). Meditating is more than a great way to relax. 【3】 When you meditate, you’ll be focusing on clearing your head and concentrating on your body and breath. You can easily transfer these skills to clearing your head and focusing on the work ahead of you.

3. Read more. 【4】 Try reading something without stopping for just thirty minutes, and slowly build your stamina to reading for an hour or even two hours with only short breaks. Being able to focus on the material in front of you will help you learn to focus on your work.

4. Multi-task less. 【5】 However, it is actually harmful to your concentration. When you multi-task, you’re not putting all of your focus and energy into any one task, which actually harms your concentration. Work on getting just one thing done at a time and you will see that you get this done more quickly. Chatting with your friends online while, getting work done is one of the worst forms of multi-tasking. Chatting with a friend can slow your productivity down by half.

A．Reading is a great way to build up your focus.

B．If you want to know how to focus like a laser, just follow these steps!

C．Keep going until you feel you need to stop, and try to focus for longer the next day.

D．When that time passes, see how long you can keep going before actually stopping.

E．Many people think getting two or three things done at once is a great way to accomplish goals more quickly.

F．Did you waste your whole day reading random articles that people posted on Facebook?

G．If you meditate for just 10 to 20 minutes every day, you will slowly improve your focus.

22、   When we meet someone for the first time, we usually get a vague sense of what kind of person they are by the way they shake hands, talk, or walk. In the age of social networking, however, first impressions are sometimes made even before we actually meet someone in person---that is, by looking at their profile photo.

According to a recent study, these social images say a lot about our personality. In the study, presented in a paper at the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media, a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the US used software to analyze the profile pictures of 66,000 users of US social platform Twitter and 3,200 of their tweets. At the same time, about 434 participants were asked to complete a survey about their personality type. The researchers wanted to find out if there was a connection between personality traits—like openness, extroversion, and neuroticism(神经质)—and a person’s profile picture.

According to the results, open people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use objects such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photo because they enjoy new and exciting experiences. Meanwhile, neurotic people often hold back their negative emotions. They try to avoid showing their face；Instead, they use an image of something like a pet, a car or a building.

Apart from the objects in profile pictures, the colors used in them also give us some hints about the photo’s owner. For example, extraverts were found to have the most colorful profile images, as they want to emphasize their personality and show themselves off, the researchers wrote.

Although social media photos “usually represent an extension of one’s self, they also allow a user to shape his or her own personality and idealized view,” according to the researchers. So, when choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask ourselves first what kind of image we’d like to convey. After all, first impressions always last.

【1】What helps form the first impressions with the development of network?

A.Shaking hands B.Greetings C.Profile pictures D.Gestures

【2】What’s the purpose of the study?

A.To analyze the users’ preference.

B.To conduct a survey about personality type.

C.To explore the formation of first impression.

D.To seek out the link between characters and profile photos.

【3】According to the study, an outgoing person may.

A.choose a puppy dog as an image B.share a distinct pose in his photo

C.fill his profile photo with light colors D.care little about his image

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Be Mindful of Your Personality B.Make Use of Your Social Image

C.First Impressions Make a Difference D.Profile Photos Reveal Your Personality

23、   Over the past year, companies have been rolling out electric scooters (踏板车) by the thousands in cities across the country from Milwaukee to Washington, D. C. to Lubbock, Texas. People download the app, find a nearby scooter and then just unlock and ride. But as these shared scooters have spread, so have concerns about safety.

Portland, Oregon in the middle of a four-month e-scooter pilot program. You see these scooters everywhere — parked on sidewalks (they don't require docking stations, which most shared bikes do), taking fast corners and going through traffic. But something you don't see much of helmets.

On a recent weekend, a 32-year-old woman who didn't want to give her name because she's breaking the city's helmet rule is riding for the first time with some of her friends. None of them are wearing helmets, which both the city and the scooter company require with good reason. “One of our friends almost just got run over. The brake lights on theirs don't work,” she says.

Part of the draw of these scooters is their flexibility — most riders we talked to jumped on a scooter on the spur of the moment. And, given the fact that most people would not want to share helmets with strangers they don't come with helmets attached. So people end up riding without any safety gear.

Yet this is against the rules, but many people just don’t want to carry around helmets. Data from bicycles suggest that people participating in share programs have lower rates of accidents than those using their own vehicle. And many transportation advocates point to the fact that helmet requirements deter bike usage.

Still helmets provide protection. Riding a scooter is very different from riding a bike.

And people on e-scooters are starting to show up in emergency rooms with injuries.” We've seen things from broken bones to punctured (刺穿) lungs.” says Catherine Juillard, a doctor at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital.

【1】What does the 32-year-old woman want to convey?

A.Riding a scooter is difficult. B.Riding a scooter is dangerous.

C.E-scooters are of poor quality. D.E-scooters bring great convenience.

【2】Why are e-scooters not equipped with helmets?

A.Because of high cost. B.Because of people's habit.

C.Because they are not effective. D.Because they are not necessary.

【3】What does the underlined word “deter” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A.Limit. B.Allow. C.Decide. D.Promote.

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A.To Wear or Not to Wear helmets? B.E-Scooters Do More Harm Than Good.

C.How to Reduce the Risk of E-Scooters? D.With E-Scooters Come Safety Concerns.

24、At the start of the 20th century, an American engineer named John Elfreth Watkins made predictions about life today. His predictions about slowing population growth, mobile phones and increasing height were close to the mark. But he was wrong in one prediction: that everybody would walk 10 miles a day.

Today, in Australia, most children on average fall 2, 000 steps short of the physical activity they need to avoid being overweight. In the early 1970s, 40 per cent of children walked to school, while in 2010, it was as low as 15 per cent.

The decline is not because we have all become lazy. Families are pressed for time, many with both parents working to pay for their house, often working hours not of their choosing, living in car-dependent neighborhoods with limited public transport.

The other side of the coin is equally a deprivation: for health and well-being, as well as lost opportunities for children to get to know their local surroundings. And for parents there are lost opportunities to walk and talk with their young scholar about their day.

Most parents will have eagerly asked their child about their day, only to meet with a “good”, quickly followed by "I'm hungry". This is also my experience as a mother. But somewhere over the daily walk more about my son's day comes out. I hear him making sense of friendship and its limits. This is the unexpected and rare parental opportunity to hear more.

Many primary schools support walking school-bus routes, with days of regular, parent-accompanied walks. Doing just one of these a few times a week is better than nothing. It can be tough to begin and takes a little planning---running shoes by the front door, lunches made the night before, umbrellas on rainy days and hats on hot ones-but it's certainly worth trying.

【1】Why does the author mention Watkins' predictions in the first paragraph?

A．To make comparisons.

B．To introduce the topic.

C．To support her argument.

D．To provide examples.

【2】What has caused the decrease in Australian children's physical activity?

A．Plain laziness.

B．Health problems.

C．Lack of time.

D．Security concerns.

【3】Why does the author find walking with her son worthwhile?

A．She can get relaxed after work.

B．She can keep physically fit.

C．She can help with her son's study.

D．She can know her son better.

【4】We can learn from the passage that to walk school-bus routes, _________

A．many schools encourage parents to accompany kids to school.

B．kids need to make no preparation.

C．parents don’t have to take weather condition into consideration

D．parents have to stick to it every day.

25、   The sound of the rain hitting the windows wakes me up and it sound just exactly as it did 15 years ago, which reminded me of my girlhood.

People used to ask him to write something to put on the walls, but he never felt very useful.
