26、Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did. This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize, but the smartphone.

At parties, people focus more on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent study from International Data Corporation，over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too many people are using smartphones while driving and as a result, they get into car crashes. 34 percent of teens admit to text while driving，and they confirm that texting messages are the major interruption while driving. People’s attachment (依恋) to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.

Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly (无谓地) check or send messages in the presence of their friends., which means that their friends are less important. In addition, relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantages as making new friends in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us the chance to improve our communication skills in the long run.

As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their messages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The technology shows the achievement weaken the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact face to face, but it is also lowering people’s ability to communicate.

【1】The purpose of this text is to _______________.

A．express a concern about the overuse of the smartphone.

B．appeal to us to pay attention to communication skills.

C．call for an end to the use of the smartphone while driving.

D．advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone.

【2】The second paragraph is developed by _______________.

A．analyzing the effects.

B．listing figures.

C．giving examples.

D．comparing facts.

【3】The author advocates making new friends _______________.

A．under a free circumstance.

B．in different ways.

C．in a face-to-face way.

D．by using smartphones.

【4】Too much dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that _______________.

A．people are more and more narrow-minded.

B．parties and gatherings limit people’s social circle.

C．face-to-face communication becomes less important.

D．people’s communication skills are weakened.

27、   Do you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? Sometimes the answer isn’t to just force an idea out of your mind. Instead, you might want to try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander. Yes, you heard that correctly. If you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming.

Researchers from the university of California, Santa Barbara, found an association between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes having participants first do an “unusual-use task”. They had to try to come up with as many different ways to use an object as they could.

Then, the participants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task” again: complete a difficult task; complete an easy task; take a 12-minute break; or skip the 12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again.

Surprisingly, the group that performed best was the one that completed the easy task. Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity.

But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? The answer is something known as “unconscious thought”. Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle (不易察觉的) way.

When you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not. Because it is free of control, it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas.

Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander.

【1】The “unusual-use task” in Paragraph 2 means that participants ______.

A．complete an easy task

B．complete a very difficult task

C．take a 12-minute break

D．think of various ways to use an object

【2】Why did the participants who completed the easy task perform best?

A．They were not actively working to solve the easy task.

B．They daydreamed and it helped them be more creative.

C．They were daydreaming while performing the difficult task.

D．They skipped the 12-minute break to complete the task again.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．Your brain wander in a subtle way within your control.

B．Your brain knows clearly what you’re thinking and doing.

C．Your brain is thinking about a problem outside of your awareness.

D．Your brain refuses to receive any information from the outside world.

【4】The passage mainly wants to tell us that ______.

A．brainstorming is important to creative ideas

B．daydreaming is a way to improve creativity

C．problem-solving skills are important in our lives

D．the more we exercise brains, the more ideas we’ll get

29、   I watched the two of them, both one year old, on the floor, surrounded by candy. He crawled on his hands while she sat there looking at birthday dress. The colourful fishier pinata(彩罐)had just been broken and the candy littered the ground. Both of their kids were too young to realise that they were sitting, and crawling around in a collection of wrapped sugar goodies. They were surrounded with edible(可食用的)goodies but had no clue!

Suddenly I saw the life metaphor(比喻). If we are the “babies” and the candy is “opportunity”, often we don’t recognise it because the opportunity comes wrapped as hard work. We may not give the wrapper the time of day, unless we realise that inside there’s a piece of delicious candy.

Every tree starts as a seed. Every person who becomes well-known was once someone nobody “knew”. So what changed for these people? Did the world suddenly wake up and find they have the potential to succeed? Of course not. These people worked for long periods of time before they saw any payoff.

It can be disheartening when you’re starting out. There’s a huge learning curve for almost everything. Just when you feel like you’re making rapid progress, you realise there’s more to learn. Every new door opens to a brand-new room, with another door at the end.

When I was in recovery from my eating disorder, there were many opportunities that I didn’t recognise as candy. At first, I didn’t see therapy(治疗)leading anywhere. It was only by going to therapy every week for a year that I was finally able to realise the opportunities. I had the opportunities to examine and adjust my thinking, and to challenge the negative mindsets I had about my life.

When I look back, I find that many of the opportunities that allowed positive growth didn’t always appear easy or fun. They often appeared as something that looked like hard work. But when we focus, consistently show up, and put in hard work, it will result in candy.

【1】Why do many people miss their opportunities according to the author?

A.Their hard work fails to pay off.

B.They don’t work hard consistently.

C.They haven’t realised their potential.

D.They don’t value their opportunities.

【2】What does the author think of the learning process according to Paragraph 4?

A.It is often interesting for most people.

B.It is often long and hard for most people.

C.You can speed it up with the help of others.

D.You can predict your progress from its start.

【3】How did the author’s eating disorder affect emotionally?

A.She lacked hope for her life sometimes.

B.She was unwilling to do therapy at first.

C.She refused to change her eating habits.

D.She liked eating candy very much.

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

A.Power of Positive Thinking

B.Candy and Achievements

C.Hard Work Leads to Success

D.Opportunities Come Candy-wrapped
