In fact，matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.Lets get to the heart of the mattera matter of principle(原则)If someone says that you owe(欠) him $50，but you dont，a friend might say，“Well，you could pay him the $50.Its not that much money. Then you wont have to hear him say it anymore.” But if you do not owe him the money，do not pay him the money. Its a matter of principle.There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choices of words.If you ask someone，“Whats the matter？”，it shows you are worried about the other person. But saying，“Whats the matter with you？” has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude. In fact，when you say，“Whats the matter with you？”，you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.Another expression that could sound rude is to say，“It doesnt matter to me.” Here，it depends on the context，and how you say it.Lets say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with，“It doesnt matter to me.” Here，it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.But saying，“Oh，you pick where we eat dinner. It doesnt matter to me.” does not sound rude. In the situation，“it doesnt matter” shows you are easygoing.No matter how you look at it and what you say，matter is a very useful word. And its only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter.21We can infer from the text that the word matter _.Ahas a wide use Bcan mean moneyCis the most used English word Dhas the most different expressions22What is the authors suggestion in Paragraph 4？AEvery penny counts. BStick to what is right.CFollow your friends advice. DBe careful when making friends.23The author develops the text mainly by _.Ausing examples Bgiving instructionsCdescribing his experiences Ddiscussing research findingsBDo you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? Sometimes the answer isnt 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.24The “unusual-use task” in Paragraph 2 means that participants _.Acomplete an easy taskBcomplete a very difficult taskCtake a 12-minute breakDthink of various ways to use an object25Why did the participants who completed the easy task perform best?AThey were not actively working to solve the easy task.BThey daydreamed and it helped them be more creative.CThey were daydreaming while performing the difficult task.DThey skipped the 12-minute break to complete the task again.26What does the underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in Paragraph 5 mean?AYour brain wander in a subtle way within your control.BYour brain knows clearly what youre thinking and doing.CYour brain is thinking about a problem outside of your awareness.DYour brain refuses to receive any information from the outside world.27The passage mainly wants to tell us that _.Abrainstorming is important to creative ideas.Bdaydreaming is a way to improve creativity.Cproblem-solving skills are important in our lives.Dthe more we exercise brains, the more ideas well get.CI once met a well-known botanist at a dinner party. I had never talked with a botanist before, and I found him very interesting. I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants and his experiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato). I had a small indoor garden of my ownand he was good enough to tell me how to solve some of my problems.As I said, we were at a dinner party. There must have been a dozen other guests, but I broke an important rule of politeness. I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist.Midnight came. I said good night to everyone and departed. The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about me, including that I was a “most interesting conversationalist”. An interesting conversationalist? I had said hardly anything at all. I couldnt have said anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject, for I didnt know any more about plants than I knew about sharks. ButI had done this one thing; I had listened carefully. I listened because I was really interested. And he felt it. Naturally that pleased him. That kind of listening is one of the best ways to show respect to others, and it makes them feel great too. “Few human beings,” wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love, “can resist the sweet effect of rapt attention.” I went even further than that. I was “sincere in my admiration and generous in my praise”. I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed. I told him I wished I had his knowledge. Itold him that I should love to wander the fields with him. Whats more, it was all true.And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when, in reality, I had only been a good listener and had encouraged him to talk.28. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that the writer_.A. was deeply moved by the botanists talkB. was amazed by what he was hearingC. was not in a comfortable situationD. behaved politely and properly29.

You are employed, he said. Give me your e-mail address and Ill send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start. The man replied, But I dont have a computer, neither an e-mail. Im sorry, said the HR manager. If you dont have an e-mail, that means you do not exist. And whoever doesnt exist cannot have the job. The man left with no hope at all.

The man realized that he can survive in this way, and started to go every day earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day.
