Scientists say they now have proof to support the old-fashioned advice that it's best to sleep on a problem. They say sleep strengthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of information we receive each day. Lead researcher Bob Stickgold at the Harvard Medical School said, "Sleep helps us draw rules from our experiences. It's like knowing the difference between dogs and cats even if it's hard to explain." The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols (象征) , reports New Scientist. They compared how the students performed if they had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test, and if they had not slept. They found that people were better able to remember lists of related words after a night's sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day. They also found it easier to remember themes (主题) that the words had in common. But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake. Prof. John Groeger, of Surrey University's Sleep Research Centre, said, "People have been trying for years to find out what the purpose of sleep is, as we know that only certain parts of it have a restorative (有助恢复的) value. " "We form and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day, and sleep seems to be the way the brain deals with it all." 1.The phrase" to sleep on a problem" in Paragraph 1 most likely means to______. A. pay full attention to a problem B. wait until later for a decision C. sleep to forget a problem D. have difficulty sleeping 2.In the study by the US research team, students were asked to______. A. put together words of similar meanings B. remember words and their meanings C. show their knowledge of words D. make up lists of related words 3.Which of the following may be easier to remember? A. Themes learned right before the test B. Rules from personal experience C. Words learnt before a good sleep D. Ideas stored together in the brain 4.What may be the importance of the research? A. It shows sleep may help us manage information B. It helps find out the common themes of word C. It tells us that more sleep can improve health D. It proves the value of old-fashioned advice

It's not much, but it's home. Francis Chan, an engineer, lives in Hampstead, north London, in a flat that's just 4ft wide by 21ft long. He loves it. Tiny though it is, it has got all the comforts. Peter Baynes, Chan’s architect (建筑师),has achieved a clever piece of design, according to architectural experts. The Chan mini-house was built on what was once a path down the side of a big Victarian house. Not an inch of space is wasted. When you step in through the front door, you're standing in the shower, on Britain' s only self-cleansing doormat (自动清洁门垫). A door opens on to an equally tiny toilet with washbasin. Two steps further in comes the kitchen, complete with full-sized cooker and fridge, and washer/ drier. A worktop folds down from the wall. Another step and you're into the dining/ office area. Four people can sit here for dinner, says Chan as he sets the table-top into place. He even has a fold-down drawing-board for when he's working at home. The bed is hidden under a cover board right at the back. "I don't even have to make the bed," Chan says." I just put the cover down. " Chan's business suits hang neatly on the wall over the bed. Daylight comes in through the skylight. The house feels like a very small boat and Chan admits he toyed with the idea of naming it the "boat-house". "It cost around ￡4,700 to build last year. Now it's been valued at ￡30,000. It proves that good design doesn't need to cost more. It just needs a lot of care." says Chan. 1.By saying "It's not much" (line 1, para. 1), the author means that Chan's flat______. A. is cheap B. has cheap furniture C. has a simple design D. is fairly small 2.Where is Chan's flat? A. Next to a big house B. Under an old building C. In a busy London street D. By the side of a country road 3.Which of the following is the right order of things described in the text? A. Shower, kitchen, toilet, dining table and bed B. Shower, toilet, dining table, kitchen and bed C. Shower, toilet, kitchen, dining table and bed D. Shower, kitchen, toilet, bed and dining table 4.What is the purpose of this writing? A. To sell Chan's flat for more money B. To tell people how to take care of small flat C. To introduce to readers a cleverly-designed flat D. To call on engineers to design their own home

Businesses put lots of time and money into new plans, programs and excellent employees with the hope things will change. Yet, at the end of the effort, not much changes. What happens? In most cases, those new plans, programs and employees enter a company with an existing culture (文化). And plans, programs and new employees have a way of conforming to(顺应)the existing culture. The culture of your business is the result of a particular mindset, or a particular way of thinking and the general feelings about certain things. Most often, it is the mindset of the founder or people managing the business. The founder has gotten to where he is because of his skill sets, knowledge base and personal beliefs, which unfortunately all come with inherent (固有的)limits. Why Skills, knowledge and beliefs come from what he or she already knows or has experienced. In other words, it comes from the past. We (people) try to make the past fit the future. Just because something worked in the past, doesn't mean it is suitable for the future. As the saying goes, if you do and think what you have always done and thought, you will have what you have always had. Therefore, lasting changes have to start with the way people think. To make changes in the way you think, you will be required to set goals beyond your basic abilities and continuously think them through. It is a way to train yourself and people to get out of the comfort zone where you feel happy with your knowledge and skills. 1.Which question does the author try to answer? A. What past experience is useful for businesses B. How much time is needed for making plans C. How can changes be made in businesses D. What kinds of employees are the best 2.Where does the business culture mainly come from? A. The founder B. The progress C. The new employees D. The collective effort 3.What does the author think about the mindset of the company leader? A. It can prevent the enrichment of experience B. It is useful far skill and knowledge learning C. It is important for personal beliefs build-up D. It may limit the company's development

Last week my parents and I took a two-day trip to Emei Mountain in Sichuan. Like everyone knows, it's famous mountain with all kinds of plants and animals. The weather was fine. It was about noon we arrived at the foot of the mountain. The three of them were very excited. As we climbed the mountain, we fed monkeys, visiting temples and told stories. On the way up I was busy take pictures since the scenery was so beautiful. The time passes quickly．Evening came. We spent the night in a hotel at the top of the mountain. The food was expensive and the service was good. I was so tiring that I fell asleep at the moment my head touched the pillow．ZXXK

下面文章有5处需要添加小标题，请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。 A．Make a well-balanced daily plan B．Predict how long tasks will take C．Keep records of where your time is going D．Handle things in order of importance E．Learn to reject others’ demands F．Analyze the distribution of your time How to Manage Your Time Effectively It has been said that “Time is Money” – but I disagree. Isn’t Time really LIFE? At the end of your life, can you even imagine saying to yourself, “I wish I’d made more money.” It’s more likely you’d be thinking “I wish I’d had more TIME – time to enjoy my life more.” Here are my favorite strategies for managing that most precious of all resources – TIME. 1.____________ You can’t find something you’ve lost when you don’t know where you might have lost it in the first place. So keep track of the exact time you begin and end an activity, and write down a few words to describe the activity. This requires you to be really honest with yourself and track your time – so if you spent 23 minutes chatting with coworkers over coffee – write it down EXACTLY! 2.____________ Review your time logs（记录）and start to classify the tasks into categories（范畴）. You will create these categories yourself. Some examples might be: Administration, Business Development, Sales & Marketing, Computer, etc. You will then sum up how much time you spent doing tasks or activities for each category, in the exact number of minutes. You might also do a little math, to figure the percentage of time each category takes out of each day. 3.____________ If you were honest and diligent, chances are that you had suddenly awakened after you reviewed your daily time logs. You no doubt can see where the time is wasted – and now you’re ready to make a better schedule. Make the best of your time by considering when you’re at your best for certain tasks, by grouping similar tasks together for greater efficiency, and by setting aside certain time for doing uninterrupted work. Think where different tasks can best fit into your day. Then actually write this routine down and post it where you see it every day. 4.____________ You can create your own easy tools to do this. On one sheet of paper, create 5 sections: High Priorities（优先）, Secondary Priorities, People to Contact, Telephone calls, and Schedule. You can fill this out each day, first thing in the morning. Each day, ask yourself: “If nothing else gets done today, what are the one or two items that absolutely. MUST be done?” You should also regularly go back to the time logging exercise, so you can determine if you are slipping back into those old had habits and take immediate steps to get back on track. 5.____________ More often than not, we take on more than we should because we don’t want to hurt someone else’s feelings. When we burden ourselves too much, we are not only creating unnecessary stress in our lives, but we are also creating potential situations where we cannot deliver what we’ve promised. We also don’t realize that when we can’t deliver what we’re promised, we can unintentionally cause more pain than if we’d had turned that down in the first place, remember, you’re not doing any favors for yourself or anyone else by taking on more than you can reasonably deliver.
