worked part time since taking early retirement ten years ago, i was inspired by an older friend. we worked for the same company, and he retired two years before i was also considered “spare”, as some companies call it.soon after i left work, we had lunch together. first, he assured me that there was life after work. then he relited his own experience. he didnt want to take another full-time job, so he turned his daughters old bedroom into a home office. he arranged for some consulting work from our old company, and he picked up more projects from other contacts. soon he was working 20 to 30 hours a week. he wasnt making as much money. his kids were grown-up, so he didnt need as much income. “as soon as i left that job,” he told me, “my back problems went away. i started to eat better and get more exercise, i make half as much money, but i feel twice as good, and im twice as happy.”i decided to follow a similar track. at the time, my younger child almost finished college, so my parental responsibilities were winding down. we sold our old house and moved into a townhouse. i went to work for myself. and the result? today i, too, make less moneys. but we make ends meet. and i feel twice as good and twice as happy.our experience isnt for everybody. but a lot of people have retired early and lived to tell the tale, which proves it possible. jack another friend, was a salesman for a communication firm. he had a long distance to work and did a lot of traveling. he decided to leave the corporate world, in part because he had health problems and he wanted to spend more time with his family. later, he quit his job with flexible hours and was restored to his health. and now he has found a part-timejob, and he, together with his family, is leading a more relaxing life.4. how did the author and his friends feel about t their retired life?a. its busy but wealthy.b. its flexible but tiring.c. its healthy and happy.d. its relaxing and wasteful5. what did the writers friend try to tell him at lunch that day?a. he regretted not leaving his job earlier.b. he lived a much better life after retiring.c. made more money if after finding a new job.d. his life was not easy for him after losing his job6. before jack left his last job, he .a. lived a busy life. b. used to find part-time jobsc. over travelled with his family. d. worked hard as a real travel agent7. what does the author mainly confirm by writing the text?a. health is more important than workb. young people generally live an exhausting life.c. more retired people are paying attention to health.d. it may be a good choice for people who retire early to do a part-time jobcself-driving vehicles will rely on cameras, sensors and artificial intelligence (ai) to recognize and respond to road and traffic conditions, but sensing is the most effective for objects and movement in the neighborhood of the vehicle. not everything important in a cars environment will be caught by the vehicles camera. another vehicle approaching at high speed on a collision （碰撞）track might not be visible until its too late. this is why vehicle-to-vehicle communication is undergoing rapid development. our research shows that cars will need to be able to chat and cooperate on the road, although the technical challenges are considerable. applications for vehicle-to-vehicle communication range from vehicles driving together in a row, to safety messages about nearby emergency vehicles. vehicles could alert each other to avoid collisions or share notices about passers-by and bicycles. from as far as several hundred metres away, vehicles could exchange messages with one another or receive information from roadside units（rsus）about nearby incidents or dangerous road conditions through 4g network a high level of a1 seems required for such vehicles, not only to self-drive from a to b, but also to react intelligently to messages received. vehicles will need to plan, reason, strategize and adapt in the light of information received in real time and to carry out cooperative behaviors. for example, a group of autonomous vehicles might avoid a route together because of potential risks, or a vehicle could decide to drop someone off earlier due to messages received, a foreseen crowding ahead. further applications of vehicle-to-vehicle communication are still being researched, including how to perform cooperative behavior.8. what is the first paragraph mainly about?a. the reasons for the accidents by self-driving vehicles.b. the research about applications for self-driving vehicles.c. the importance of artificial intelligence of self-driving vehicles.d. the reasons for developing communication between self-driving vehicles.9. what does the underlined word “alert” mean in paragraph 2?a. alarm. b. condemn. c. ignore. d. govern.10. what can we learn about roadside units （rsus）?a. they classify the vehicles on the road.b. they can improve bad road conditions.c. they take over the passing vehicles.d. they serve as efficient information stations.11. what is the best title for the text?a. when do vehicles communicate?b. the reasons why a high level of ai is importantc. vehicle-to-vehicle communication is comingd. what do applications for vehicle-to-vehicle communication need?da large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: how can willpower be strengthened? if willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sights, out of mind” principle. one recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.the research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. when we face too many temptations, are we to fail? not necessarily. researchers dont believe that ones willpower is ever completely exhausted. rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. the right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. high motivation might help overcome weaken willpower at least to a point. willpower may also be made less vulnerable（脆弱）to being exhausted in the first place. researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. but there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. while muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strengthsthe evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on new years eve is the worst possible approach. being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. in other words, dont try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. taking goals one by one is a better approach. once a good habit is in place, baumeister says, youll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. eventually healthy habits will become routine, and wont require making decisions at all.12. from the studies in the passage we learn that .a. people have unlimited self-control b. high motivation ensures ones successc. willpower is hardly completely exhaustedd. too many temptations often lead to failure13. the underlined phrase “tap into” in paragraph 3 most probably means .a. make use of b. run out ofc. buildd. increase14. the authorcompares self control to muscles .a. to prove the long-term effect of willpowerb. to show the significance of regular exercisec. to argue that self-control can he easily used upd. to explain the benefits of practicing self-control15. to develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?a. “i will give up dessert and do exercise.”b. “i will set three goals this new semester.”c. “i will keep myself from any temptation.”d. “i will read an english novel every month.”第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。how to love your parentseven if you think that your parents are
