What were you doing before you started reading this? Were you fully focused on another article? Or eating breakfast? Organizing your day? Or were you staring out of the window, feeling restless and bored?

It is likely to have been the latter. Brief moments of boredom are universal, and are frequently what drives us to stop what we are doing and move to something that we hope will be more exciting.

But although boredom is common, it is neither unimportant nor favorable, according to Dr John Eastwood, a psychologist at York University, Toronto. Eastwood is the joint author of The Unengaged Mind, a major new paper on the theory of boredom.

Boredom, he points out in the paper, has been connected with overeating, depression, anxiety, and an increased risk of making mistakes. Mistakes at work might not be a matter of life and death for most of us, but if you are an air traffic controller, pilot or nuclear power plant operator, they most certainly can be.

Commercial polo Sami Franks confirms that boredom can make pilots lose attention. When you fly a lengthy distance, there are two pilots, one of whom is monitoring all the screens while the other does the paperwork, talks to air traffic control and so on. You need to be alert(警觉的) for landing and takeoff, but once youre 500 ft above the runway, the planes on autopilot(自动驾驶仪) and it can be very quiet and boring. In a study I saw of pilots who woke up after a short sleep. 30% of them reported seeing the other pilot asleep too, said Franks.

However, Dr Esther Priyadharshini, a senior lecturer in education at the university of East Anglia, has studied boredom and says it can be seen in a positive light. We cant prevent boredom—its an unavoidable human emotion. We have to accept it and find ways to control it. We all need downtime. Theres no need to be fully busy with work at all times. she says.

Children who complain that they have nothing to do on rainy holidays may try to find other things to focus on. The artist Grayson Perry has reportedly spoken of how long periods of boredom in childhood may have improved his creativity.

We all need vacant time to mull(深思熟虑) things over, says Priyadharshini.

1.We can learn from Eastwood that _______.

A. boredom can be potentially (潜在地) dangerous

B. air traffic controllers usually feel bored

C. brief moments of boredom are not common

D. making mistakes is a major cause of boredom

2.The study mentioned by Franks shows that ______.

A. pilots need to be alert for landing and takeoff

B. pilots must work well together when flying

C. boredom can make pilots lose attention

D. flying a plane is generally quite fun

3.Which of the following might be Perrys opinion on boredom?

A. It often leads to failure.

B. It has a beneficial effect.

C. It is more likely to happen to children.

D. It makes children lose interest in learning.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Why am I so bored?

B. Is boredom bad for you?

C. Can I have your attention?

D. How can I get rid of boredom?

ADAPTIVE ACTION SPORTS

Adaptive Action Sports was founded in 2005 by Amy Purdy and Daniel Gale.

Amy Purdy was an active snowboarder, until she lost both her legs to bacterial meningitis(脑脊膜炎). She spent three months in the hospital fighting for her life, and doctors gave her a less than two percent chance of survival. Because of meningitis Amy lost circulation in both her legs, and when she came out of the hospital she had prosthetic legs(义肢). When she lost her legs, Amy knew she would be active again, but didnt know how or when. She struggled to be active on her new legs, and a little over two years after her amputation(截肢) she entered the USASA (United States of America Snowboard Association) National Snowboarding Competition and won medals in three events.

Amy was at an adaptive snowboard workshop in 2002 when she met Daniel Gale. They immediately formed a connection through their enthusiasm for snowboarding, music, and art. Amys biggest struggle had been obtaining information on how to start snowboarding again with prosthetic legs, and she and Daniel both saw the need to help others like Amy. They wanted to create something, a place, a forum, an organization that would enable individuals to find and participate in their enthusiasms without a struggle. Adaptive Action Sports was born.

Their dream was to help athletes with permanent physical disabilities compete in action sports. Adaptive Action Sports holds camps, clinics, and events to create programs and opportunities for these individuals.

Since 2000, the USASA has provided opportunities for adaptive athletes to compete in snowboarding competitions. In 2007, the USASA Competition had 17 adaptive athletes compete, the largest number of adaptive athletes in adaptive athlete competition history. Although many competitors were still injured, they recovered quickly and showed how hard they are willing to push themselves.

1.We know from the text that Amy Purdy lost the ability to ______.

A. help othersB. walkC. obtain informationD. sing

2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. How Adaptive Action Sports was founded.

B. Why Amy and Daniel want to help others.

D. athletes who decide to help disabled people like Amy

It was the day after Halloween when my grandmother was admitted to the hospital with the worst headache shed ever had. While posing in our costumes the night before, we knew something was wrong, just not how wrong.

Grandmas house was the central gathering place of my family. Sunday lunches, birthday dinners, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas — all were our traditions, with her as hostess. While my parents were busy running their small business, there were many nights when Grandma fed me and put me to bed in her spare room, until they came to get me. I spent my summers at Grandmas and I went everywhere with her. I couldnt imagine a time when she wouldnt be around me.

Then November 1, 1991 began her month-long stay in the hospital—she suffered from a rare infection (感染) called nocardia asteroides. After being born in the year of the Great Depression, living through World War II, raising three kids, and being widowed at the age of 48, Grandma never expected to live into her seventies. The infection in her brain seemed to confirm that she wasnt long for this world. But thats not the end of her story. A team of doctors successfully removed the abscess(脓肿), and Grandma even made it into a local medical journal. Her doctor called her the brain lady.

Grandma celebrated her 85th birthday in March this year. In the almost 23 years since her recovery, shes seen two of her four grandchildren get married and welcomed three great-grandsons. Although they damage something in her house, she loves it when my two boys come over. And while I know they make her day, seeing her love blossom for another generation makes my day too. Happy Grandparents Day to my amazing grandmother!
