In a sales presentation, you can talk yourself out of a deal by over-explaining rather than listening to the guests across the table. Even in writing, there are bad results of not being brief. McCormacks own research showed 43%of people who received long emails ignored (忽视) them. “when the point isnt made clear you feel you cant deal with this right now so you put it aside, “he explains. Despite the many disadvantages of being long-winded, many of us struggle (挣扎着做) to be brief. One reason，explains McCornack, is that we believe by over-explaining, we can prove how smart we are. From an early age, we re taught to judge our success on word counts and page lengths. Students are asked to write 20-page paper and a two-page paper. If you can present your point well in two pages, then Ill read the 20-page paper to see how you got there,” he says.Another reason we struggle to be brief when we are talking is that we may be underprepared. When youre being brief, you have to make a lot of decisions about whats important and whats not important for that person in that moment in time, says McCormack.Cutting out all the irrelevant (不相干的) information can take time (time that many of us dont give when were speaking with others). Its these challenges of being brief that McCormack says make brevity an important skill that helps people to stand out as being professional.8. What can be learned from Paragraph 2？A. Nearly half of emails we receive are put asideB. Listening to others is important C. Too much talking is likely to be ignoredD. Not being active can stop us from succeeding9. Why do we often choose to write long papers？A. Only long papers can make our point clearB. We believe the more, the betterC. We are asked to do so by teachersD. Teachers are fond of reading long papers10.Why do we struggle to be brief according to Paragraph 4？A. Its impossible to tell whats important in a short timeB. We just prepare something importantC. Its hard to make decisions sometimes.D. We dont organize our ideas well before talking11. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the text？A. The importance of being professional.B. The tips for being brief.C. The challenges of being brief.D. The skills we should develop in life DSleep has been a hot topic over the past few years, and with good reason; According to the National Institute of Health, more than one third of adults dont get 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night, and evidence shows that even children. and teenagers sleep less than needed.Most people already know that not getting enough sleep has all types of horrible disadvantages like red eyes， memory loss, and , overall tiredness，but what if sleep deprivation（缺乏）is also the reason you reach for a slice of pizza instead of a fruit salad？While its been thought before that the body wants unhealthy snacks for a quick burst of energy to stay awake and alert when your body is tired, new research presented at the Cognitive Neuroscience Societys meeting in San- Francisco shows that sleep deprivation actually increases the brains sensitivity(敏感性) to food smells. A study done by Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago explains that people who slept only four hours showed greater brain activity in response to food smells, like potato chips and doughnuts, compared to when theyd slept a full eight hours.When tired， people showed greater brain activity in two areas involved in smell - the piriform cortex and the orbitofrontal cortex _ they react more to food smells than they do when well rested. But people didnt respond to nonfood smells, study co-author Surabhi Bhutani said.While this line of research is still ongoing, its pretty clear that sleep deprivation leads to extra calorie consumption (消耗) and weight gain. So when you re running on a. few hours of sleep （its not enough)， recognize the tricks your brain- is playing on you and make the right decision to eat the healthier food.12. What is the function of Para. l and Para. 2？A. To offer some details.B. To describe the situation.C. To introduce the topic.D .To explain the problem.13. Which of the following is a finding of the new research？A. We are more sensitive to food smells when poorly rested.B. Unhealthy snacks can help people stay awake.C. All foods smell better if we lack enough sleep.D. Unhealthy snacks lead to a quick burst of energy.14. We can learn from the text that when we re sleepy we should_A. avoid eating anythingB. get rid of our sensitivityC. do something to make us wakefulD. refuse to eat unhealthy food15. What is the main idea of the text？A. A lack of sleep brings many disadvantages.B. Sleep deprivation can lead to poor food choices.C. Certain foods can affect peoples sleep.D. Sleeping well can prevent weight gain.II 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根捂短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能境入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Having a good cry from time to time ls good for us and its good way to let out feelings that might otherwise hide in our bodies and come out in unhealthy ways later.
