we surveyed several students to see what they do to avoid responsibilities in the real world. we asked students about their offline modes of procrastniation. “when i need to procrastinate , i will sing and dance in front of a mirror as much as i possibly can to avoid thinking about the problem. and i was very happy when i found out that my room had two mirrors, because it allowed for multi-dimensional dancing” -anushka kurian,first-year“i procrastinate by clipping my nails. sometimes i even paint them”-julia irion ,fourth-year english and portuguese“usually when i have a ot of work to do, i just take naps, even if im not tired , so that i can avoid all of my responsibilities!” -jack mccrossin, first-year urban studies “one way that i procrastinate is just reading a book in the backyard. but not a school book, obviously . i like to read romance novels.” -ferry anthony , fourth-year philosophy and religion“i just play around with make-up and skin-care and other fun things!” -sylvia battaglia, third-year political science and philosopy“i guess i procrastinate by socializing with my roommates. mostly chatting about school , work , life, and online games . ironically（讽刺的是）, i spend a portion of my offline procrastination talking with my roommates about how i procrastinate online”-thomas zheng, second-year biochemistry and chemistry21. what is an obvious choice for students to procrastinate?

a. he procrastinates by socialize with his roommates . b. he likes chatting about school,work,life and online games. c.he just takes naps. d. he spends a portion of his offline procrastination talking with his roommate about how i procrastinate oneline. b. my divorce was now final and i needed to find a new home for me and my six-year-old son, dash. a few days earlier id seen an ad. i was willing to try anything, so i contacted the owner, a woman named camille. when she e-mailed me back i discovered she wasnt renting a house at all. she was renting the attic (阁楼) apartment. i left her a message calling off our meeting.but camille called me back and insisted i come over. so here i was. i pulled the car to a stop and looked up at the tiny cottage. the house was small as it was. the attic window looked too tiny to let much light in. we couldnt live in a dark, depressing place. i could make do(凑合) with almost anything. but dash needs a good home, a place he really feels safe.no sense in wasting her time or mine. i knocked. the woman who opened the door was small and bright-eyed. she was much older than id guessed, but i could see she had the energy of someone half her age. she looked so sympathetic（有同情心的） that i found myself wanting to keep talking to her.we have to leave our home,i explained.my marriage ended. i only have a few days to find something else, but i want it to be right.09camille nodded.youre a good mother. you never know the miracles that await(等待) you around the corner. camille walked me to the door and wished me well. i got back in the car and snapped out of it. i drove off slowly, hoping to make the feeling last. i turned down a side street i didnt recognize. i glanced out of the side window. just up ahead was a cottage with a sign out in front: for rent.i pulled over. i found the owners had just bought the house themselves and were decorating it, hoping to find the perfect renters. they took me on a tour of the house that was like a copy of my list: a big bedroom for dash, a backyard with trees, and a great school nearby. the house was meant for us!camille was right. miracles await us, just around the corner.24how did the author feel after receiving camilles e-mail?a.disappointed. b.excited. c.anxious. d.content.25why must the author find a good place?a.to begin a new life. b.to give dash a good education.c.for her sons sake. d.for her and her sons safety.26what does the underlined partsnapped out of itprobably mean?a. say something in an impatient voice. b. stop feeling unhappy or depressed.c. make a sharp noise suddenly. d. lose control of ones feelings.27what message does the passage mainly convey?a.never lose hope. b.no pains, no gains.c.every little bit helps. d.well begun is half done.c.body awareness helps children figure out how they can move their bodies and understand the concept of space and how it relates to their bodies. there are many fun games and songs that teach children body awareness and encourage them to move their bodies. simon says is a great example of such games, as long as you allow all children to continue playing instead of removing children who do not follow the directions correctly. children who do not follow the directions correctly are generally the very ones that need to play the game most. each time you call out an instruction - touch your toes/raise your arms/tap your head, the children are mentally relating the name of the body part to their own bodies.do you remember the game statue, or maybe you call it freeze? the teacher plays music, and when the music stops, the children “freeze”. to add an element of learning about body parts, add this instruction: when the music stops, you freeze except for the body part that i call out when the music stops; so if you call “hands”, everyone should freeze except for their hands, which should be moving. children love this variation of the game, and it teaches them to listen and learn body parts.listening to songs also helps teach childrens body awareness. one of the songs is if youre happy and you know it. although the standard refrains (副歌曲调) tell you to “clap your hands and stamp your feet”, you can try lots of fun verses: wiggle your fingers, pull your ears, knock your knees and touch your head, etc.children enjoy guessing games, too. try giving clues about which body part you are describing. for example, i am thinking about a body part that i smell with. it is right under my eyes and right over my mouth. what am i thinking about? to help thinking and language skills, encourage children to make up the clues for a body part.children should enter school with a basic understanding of their bodies. children programs can promote this understanding by including develop - mentally appropriate and fun activities into curriculum that teach children about their amazing bodies! 28.the reason why children who do not follow the directions correctly is that they_. a.are not clever enoughb.can t pay attention wellc.have good body awarenessd.lack body awareness29.which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?a.statue or freeze can add element of learning about body parts.b.simon says helps children relate names to their body parts easily.c.listening to songs can only help children move their hands and feet.d.guessing games is a good way for children to make up clues for body parts.30.which of the following games could possibly be beneficial to thinking and speaking?a.listening to songs.b.guessing games.c.simon says.d.statue or freeze.31.the authors purpose in writing the passage is to tell us _.a.why body awareness is important for children.b.which game is best for childrens -body awarenessc.how we can help children learn before going to schoold.what activities are good for childrens body awarenessd.dreams can be familiar and strange, fantastical or boring, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. in a recent study, scientists found a connection between nap-time dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill.in the study, 99 college students between the ages of 18 and 30 each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through a virtual maze（迷宫）.the maze was a different place each time they tiredmaking it even more difficult. they were also told to find a particular picture of a tree and remember where it was. for the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants stayed awake and an half were told to take a short nap . participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. participants who took a nap were asked about their dreams after sleepingand they were awakened within a minute of sleeping to describe their dreams. stickgold, a neuroscientist（神经科学家）,wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes werent moving during sleep. four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were connected to the maze. some dreamed about the music that had been playing when they were working ; others said they dreamed about seeing people in the maze. when these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to find the tree faster than before their naps. stickgold suggests the dream itself doesnt help a person learnits the other way around.he suspects that the dream was caused by the brain processes associated with learning. all four of the people who dreamed about the task had done poorly the first time, which makes stickgold wonder if the dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult. people who had other dreams, or people who didnt take a nap, didnt show the same improvement.32. after having a short nap, participants of the experiment were asked to_. a. stay in a.different place in the maze. b.design a virtual maze which is difficult to get through. c. try to remember something about their dreams d. get through a virtual maze on a computer from the same place33. what can we leam from the text?

a. dreams are strange b. not all dreams are true c. dreaming makes perfect d. stickgold,a dream expert第二节 （共5小题；毎小题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。creating a reader-friendly homea home filled with reading material is a good way to help kids become enthusiastic readers. what kind of books should you have?
