26、 Nowadays more and more people are too busy with work to relax themselves. We have no time to tell a bed-time story to our children, or enjoy a nice dinner with our family, or take a break to think about how we live the precious life, or even meet friends. All we notice is that the distinctions that used to guide and steady us—between Sunday and Monday, public and private, here and there—are gone. We have more ways to communicate, but less and less to say, partly because we’re so busy communicating.
Maybe that’s why more and more people I know, even if they have no religious belief, seem to be turning to yoga, or mediation, or tai chi. Some friends of mine try to go on long walks every Sunday, or to “forget” their cellphones at home. A series of tests in recent years has shown that their brains become both calmer and sharper after spending time in quiet rural settings.
In my own case, I often turn to extreme measures to try to keep my sanity and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all. I’ve not yet used a cellphone and I’ve never Tweeted or entered Facebook. I tried not to go online till my day’s writing was finished, and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan.
None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism (苦行主义): It’s just pure selfishness. Nothing makes me feel better—calmer, clearer and happier—than being in one place, absorbed in a book, a conversation, a piece of music. It’s actually something deeper than mere happiness: It’s joy, which David Steindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens”. That is the highest of the highest we have been longing for—The Joy of Quiet.
【1】What does the underlined word “distinctions” refer to?
A. complication. B. similarity. C. simplicity. D. difference.
【2】What does the writer mean when using the word “forget” in the 2nd paragraph?
A. Trapped in busy work, they are really forgetful.
B. The cellphone is not a suitable means of communication.
C. They leave their cellphones at home on purpose.
D. They hate modern techniques such as the cellphone.
【3】The writer sometimes doesn’t do anything because __________.
A. he is out of work
B. whatever he does makes no sense
C. he can enjoy himself in his leisure time
D. he is worried about his writing
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A. The writer is unwilling to help others since he is selfish.
B. Slowing down to find deep-down joy is necessary.
C. It is better to go back to the ancient times since we are so busy now.
D. We have more to say because we have more ways to communicate.
【5】What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Enjoying quiet time is very important.
B. We can do some sports such as yoga to relax.
C. To feel better, we should do nothing at all.
D. The more we communicate, the better we will feel.

28、Being deaf in a hearing world can lead to painful feelings of isolation (孤独).
Waitress Kelsey recently shared an experience on a social media sharing site that quickly zoomed (陡直上升) to the top of the “ front page of the Internet”. In her brief post, Kelsey explained that she waits tables at a bar during the evenings, and one night she noticed a deaf man sitting alone in her section (区域).
When Kelsey isn’t working at the bar she makes a good hourly pay doing sign language interpretation (翻译), so she sensed an opportunity to use her skill to make this customer feel a little less alone in the world. She approached his table and began chatting with him in sign language.
When the table next to his noticed their silent conversation they asked Kelsey how long she’d been signing. They had a brief conversation about her goal of becoming certified (合格的) to interpret sign language in a medical or mental health setting.She didn’t think much about the whole exchange until the customers had left the restaurant and she was tidying up the tables. There, on the table of the customers who’d seen her American sign language conversation with the deaf man, was a handwritten note on the receipt.
“Thank you for what you do; it absolutely matters!” the note said. “Good luck with finishing your degree!” Not only that, but they’d left her a $100 tip.
Kelsey was moved by the kind note, especially because she wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary. To her, she was just conversing with someone in a language that only they understood. Yet to the deaf man and the people seated next to him she’d bridged a gap and helped someone who probably feels lonely a lot of the time.
Kelsey shared the note on the Internet to spread more love and light in the world.

A．It is her part-time job.
B．It goes beyond her ability.
C．It requires her to work all day long.
D．It offers her a chance to learn sign language.
【2】What can we infer about the deaf man?
A．He left Kelsey $100 as a tip.
B．He could use sign language.
C．He found it hard to communicate with Kelsey.
D．He was a friend of the customers at the next table.
【3】What did the people at the table next to the deaf man think of Kelsey?
A．She is wasting time working as a waitress.
B．She needs to study further for a degree.
C．She should use the Internet as a tool.
D．She is so kind to serve those in need.
【4】What lesson can we learn from Kelsey’s experience?
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．It is never too late to learn.
C．Kindness is repaid with kindness.
D．When in Rome, do as Romans do.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Hundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that facial expressions of emotion are 【1】. If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me, you will really understand facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people’s studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions which allows him to point out other people’s 【2】 and on many occasions, to be skilled at tricking in order to get the truth.
Is there really much truth behind this science of 【3】 human emotions through expressions? Paul Ekman, a(n) 【4】 psychologist whose work focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me’s scientific advisor and the following are some of his explanations.
Hand-to-face gesture indicates a lie.
Each micro-expression is unique to 【5】 specific emotions because the person is often unaware of doing it. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person could be holding back information but you may better consider looking at other more important clues rather than just the simple hand-to-face gesture.
A liar refuses eye contact.
People look away when they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is spoken, not just when they are 【6】 an excuse. Oblique eyebrows are a very reliable 【7】of sadness and few people can make this 【8】 expression, so it is actually never faked.
Guilty knowledge technique is 【9】.
Lightman often uses the guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person will know about and show a(n)【10】. This is often used in polygraph exams: “Was the person strangled, shot or stabbed to death?” Only the killer knows and is likely to respond physiologically when the actual weapon is mentioned.
