According to a study，regaining our 36 drive following an interruption can take about 20 minutes. Multitasking(多任务），as many studies have shown, is a myth(谬论）.A more accurate 37 of what happens when we tell ourselves we are multitasking is that were rapidly 38 between activities，sucking our mental energy. And the 39 can be surprisingly serious. An experiment found that we lose as many as 10 IQ points when we allow our work to be 40 by distractions like emails and text messages. The 41 isthatmultitaskingisenjoyable.Its fun to satisfy yourcuriosity.Whoknows what that next email or textmessage holds42?Findingoutprovidesimmediatesatisfaction,43，resisting distractions and staying on task requires 44 and mental effort. So, what are we to do? Our strategy is to change the 45 to move temptation further away： shut down your email program or 46 your phone. Its a lot easier to stay on task when youre not 47 fighting off mental desires. The alternative，which most of us consider common，is 48 to dieting in a bakery. We all need the willpower to resist the temptations，but doing so comes with 49 costs to our limited supply of willpower. Another worthwhile 50 is to collect similar activities together，keeping transition(转换）time to a 51 point. Instead of spreading phone calls，meetings and emails throughout your day， try 52 related tasks so that there are fewer transitions. In some jobs，multitasking is 53. Some of us truly do need to stay 54 to our clients，colleagues and managers. So its worth noting that limiting disruptions is the only solution.

The book discusses Kalanithis longtime fascination with questions of human biology, mortality (生命的有限），and meaning. It then examines how these questions are heightened by the authors own confrontation (冲突）with lung cancer, sickness, and death. Kalanithis fatherwasa doctor fromNew York City.Thefamily moved ttKingman,Arizona,sothathis father could pursue his medical career when Paul was young. His father worked long hours and was rarely home , which convinced young Paul that the last thing he wanted to do was to become a doctor himself. Pauls mother was concerned about the weak school system in Kingman, and so made a long list of literary classics which she made Paul and his brothers read. As a result, Paul became fascinated by literature. He attended Stanford University, from which he graduated in 2000 with a B. A. and M. A. in English Literature and a B. A. in Human Biology. He earned an M. Phil in History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine from the University of Cambridge. In 2007, Paul graduated from the Yale School of Medicine with tHe highest honors. He returned to Stanford for residency training (住院医生实习）in Neurological Surgery. As he neared the end of his 7-year residency he was diagnosed with stage ! lung cancer. The hopes and dreams he and Lucy, his wife ,have held to are dramatically changed. When BreathBecomesAirgivesanaccountofKalanithis transformationfroman innocentmedical student troubled by the question of “what，given that all organisms die$ makes a virtuous and meaningful life， into a young neurosurgeon (神经外科医生）at Stanford，guiding patients toward a deeper understanding of death and illness，and finally into a patient and a new father to a baby girl，confronting his own mortality. What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future，no longer a ladder toward your goals in life， flattens out into a continuous present? What does it mean to have a child，to care for a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this deeply moving， delicately observed autobiography. Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015，while working on this book，yet his words live on as a guide and a gitt to us all. “I began to realize that coming face to face with my own mortality，in a sense，had changed nothing and everything，” he wrote.“SevenwordsfromSamuelBeckettbegan torepeatin my head：I cantgoonIll go on ” When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettable， lift-confirming reflection on the challenge of facing mortality and on the relationship between doctor and patient，from a gifted writer who became both.58. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. What led to the diagnosis of Kalanithis lung cancer.B. Why Kalanithi changed his mind to become a doctor.C. When Kalanithi decided to follow in his fathers footsteps.D. How Kalanithi developed his interest in English literature.59.Which ofthe following words can be usedtodescribethe book?A.Discouraging.B.Reflective.C.Delightful.D. Controversial.60.Kalanithibegan to seek the meaning of life .A.whenhe was a medical studentB. when he became a neurosurgeonC.whenhe studied English literatureD. when he was diagnosed with cancer C One of the strangest features of motherhood is that the vast majority of mothers prefer to cradle (轻抱） their babies in the left arm. Why should this be? The obvious explanation is that the majority of mothers are right handed and they wish to keep their right hand free. Unfortunately，this explanation cannot apply，because left-handed mothers also favor their left arm for holding their babies. The precise figures are 83 percent for right-handed mothers and 73 percent for left-handed mothers. The most likely explanation is that the mothers heart is on the left side and，by holding the baby in her left arm，she is unconsciously bringing her baby closer to the sound of the heart beat. This is the sound the baby heard whenitwasinsidethe motherswomb and whichistherefore an association with peace，comfortandsecurity. Tests were carried out m nurseries where some babies were played the recorded sound of a human heat beat，and，sure enough，went to sleep twice as quickly as the otters. We also know tfat the sound of mothers heart is quiteaudibleinsidethewombandthattheunbornbabyhasa well-developedhearing. It is interesting that fathers show less of this left-side bias (偏爱）than mothers，suggesting that the human female is better programmed than her partner for carrying a baby. Alternatively，she may unconsciously adjust her holding behavior to make her baby fell more secure. Some new observations on our closest animals relatives，the chimpanzees and gorillas，have revealed that tliey too show a strong bias for holding their babies on the left side. The precise figures were 84 percent for chimpanzees and 82 percent for gorillas， remarkably close to the human percentages. Recently a possibleadditionalvalueincradling babiesonthe left sidehasbeensuggested.Ithasbeen pointed out that， because， the two sides of the brain are concerned with different aspects of behavior， it is possible that the mother，in cradling the baby to her left，is showing the baby her “best side”. ft is claimed that the emotions are expressed more strongly on the left side of the human face and that she therefore gives the baby a betterchanceto read her emotionel mood changesasitgazes up at her.Furthermore，the motherslefteyeand ear are more tuned into emotional changes in her baby than her right eye and ear would be. So in addition to the babys seeing the more expressive parts of its mother，there is further advantage that the mother is herself more sensitive to the left-heldbaby.Thismaysoundfar-fetched，butjustpossibly，it couldprovideaslightextra benefit for those mothers displaying the strange one-sided bias when cradling their infants. How does abiasoccur? Do the mothershave an instinctive preference for it，ordo they learnitby trialand error，unconsciously adjusting the position of the babies until the babies are calmer? The surprising answer is that it seems to be the baby not the mother who controls the bias. Observation of new born irfants when they were only a few hours old revealed that they come into the world with a preprogrammed tendency to turn their head to the right. If the new born baby is gently held in a dead central position and then released，it naturally swings to the right fr more often than to the left. This happens in nearly 70 percent of babies. This may be only a part of explanation，because the holding bias is 80 percent not 70 percent，but it adds a further intriguing chapter to the story.()61.
