If you sat there for some time you might eventually solve it, but scientists say that daydreaming might be a much better way to tackle difficult tasks. X k B 1 . c o mIn fact, daydreaming has long been misunderstood Its considered to be a bad thing and often associated with laziness. “Were harsh (严厉的）on ourselves if we catch ourselves mind wandering,” says Professor Kalina Christoff from the University of British Columbia in Canada*But the truth is that some of the most important scientific discoveries came about because scientists allowed their minds to wander. For example, Albert Einstein began his theory of relativity when he daydreamed about riding a beam (束）of sunlight to the edge of the universe. And now, research has shown that normal people can also improve their problems solving ability in the same way, reported The Telegraph.In a study, 145 people aged between 19 and 32 were asked to list as many unusual uses as possible for everyday objects. Some of them were given a 12-minute break while the others were not allowed any break from the task People on the break did not simply relaxsome of them were told to carry out a tiring memory task while others did an easier task.Scientists found that people who did the easier task were daydreaming a lot They thought about personal issues in the past or in the future because their mind was at ease.After the break, all participants were asked to return once again to the task of listing unusual uses for everyday objects. It was found that daydreamers improved their performance by 40 percent, while all the other people, including those who didnt have a break and who did tiring tasks during the break, performed the same as before.“People think that when the mind wanders away it just gets turned off 一 but we show the opposite，” explained Christoff. “A more playful attitude might allow you to call in more resources (解决办法).” So when you are struggling to solve complicated problems, it might be better off if you switch to a simpler task and let your mind wander for a while, she suggested.According to Christoff , people typically spend one-third of their waking time daydreaming. “Its a big part of our Hves, but its been largely ignored by science. ”31.It was believed that daydreaming _A.had been misunderstood for a long timeB.had something to do with imaginationC.was a waste of time when the mind was shut offD.was a good way to relax and solve problems32.What is the main purpose of Paragraph 3?A.To show that great scientists daydream a lot.B.To inform us that daydreaming has its benefits.C.To prove people can daydream whenever they like.D.To introduce new experiments on daydreaming.33.What did the scientists discover in the experiment?A.Peoples minds turned off as they daydreamed*B.The group that were given hard memory tasks performed bestC.People who had a break showed improvement in the task*D.Daydreaming could improve peoples problem-solving abilities.34.How did the scientists get their conclusion? X|k |B| 1 . c|O |mA By studying brain scan (扫描)results of the groups.B.By comparing the performances of different groups, c By asking and observing people in different groups.D.By analyzing (分析）the amount of tasks each participant didBA large and largely dysfunctional (机能失调的）family ,as The Independent called it, has captured the hearts of thousands of TV viewers. Even American First Lady Michelle Obama called it her favorite TV drama.Are you ready to enter the hilarious (令人捧腹大笑的）world of the hit sitcom Modem Family? In fact, the show features three families, who are all relatives, moving in and out of each Other1S lives.The first one is a typical American family. The mom and dad are called Phil and Claire. They have three children.The second family is made up of Jay, his young Hispanic (拉美裔的）wife and her son* Jay, 60, father of Claire9 is 30 years older than his wife and everyone thinks they are father and daughter.The third family is made up of a homosexual (同性恋的）couple called Mitchell and Ca- meron , and their adopted baby. Mitchell is also Jays son.With its funny stories and the hilarious interactions between family members. Modem Family has become very popular. It won four titles at the 2012 Emmy Awards ，and has been nominated for an award at next years Golden Globes.The Los Angeles Times said that “its presentation of contemporary US society” contributes to its success. The show presents what a typical “nuclear family is like： two parents, a big house and two or three children. Phil and Claire have different but fun personalities. When theres a fight between siblings (兄弟姐妹），Phil wants to be a “cool dad”，while traditional mom Claire lives by the saying, “an eye for an eye She always forces Phil to punish the troublemaker. For example, when their boy shoots his sister with a toy gun, Claire insists that Phil should shoot him back.The show also touches upon developments in interracial relations by focusing on Hispanic communities. “By 2040, America will no longer be a majority-white country, with the fastest growth rate among Hispanics. Today, one in seven marriages are interracial,” the BBC commented. 新|课 |标| 第 | 一| 网According to the TV station, four in 10 Americans say they have a gay friend or relative, Modem Family doesnt forget the changing status of homosexuals.But “there really is no more a generalized American family. The US is a melting pot. ， so the family has come to reflect that diversity,” commented the US research institute The Hartman Group.35.In the sitcom Modem Family, Phil is a character who _A.is the head of a typical nuclear familyB.adopted a baby with his homosexual partnerC.married a young Hispanic wifeD.likes to punish kids ，for their bad behavior36.Modem Family is a hit in the US because _A.it is First Lady Michelle Obamas favorite TV dramaB.it is an example of how a typical American family should beC.it is a lively and diverse description of American societyD.it reflects serious social and racial problems in American society37.The author thinks the sitcom Modem Family is _A.funny and inspiringB strange and light-heartedC.creative but complicatedD. serious and generalized38.The purpose of the article is to _A.analyze the American family cultureB.show racial trends in American societyC.draw peopled attention to how diverse America isD.introduce a popular American sitcom and the reason for its successCAs the e-mail hits 40, is a midlife crisis (危机）on the cards?A few weeks ago, electronic mail, or e-mail, hit the respectable age of 40. When Ray Tomlinson, a young computer engineer, sent the first e-mail in 1971，he could only have guessed at how e-mail would have an impact on the way we communicate both in business and personal life.E-mail has transformed the way people shop, bank, conduct business, and communicate with family members. Now an essential tool for about one billion mobile workers across the globe, e-mail continues to dominate (统治）the way in which we communicate.Four decades since the first message, e-mail seems to be going strong. But is e-mail a- bout to hit a midlife crisis? With web workers now using more software and social business tools to communicate and share information, are we going to see e-mails rule come to an end?E-mail might be a great communication tool, but it doesnt seem to be a tool for working with others. Anyone who has tried to bring together feedback (反馈）from many colleagues on a document over e-mail knows how painful the process can be. No one seems to remember which version the team is working on and there is always that one person who sends over some “final amendments” overnight. Hours can be wasted waiting for e-mails to go back and forth, searching through inboxes for missing documents.Therefore, it is little wonder that web workers across the globe are turning to the likes of Dropbox , Evernote or Huddle for storing and sharing files. The demand for simplicity in the workplace has increased X|k |B| 1 . c|O |mDespite all those challenges, however, removing e-mail from the workplace completely will require more than just introducing easy-to-use tools in the office, Its so much a part of our daily working lives and moving to other tools will require a culture change.

The combination, he said, can expose “more leg and backside” and can “be highly distracting (令人分心的）for other students”.By last Tuesday, hed already heard from more than 70 parents as well as other high schools, all in support of him “It must have touched a nerve,” he said新-课 -标 -第-一-网Adney wanted to make it clear that leggings arent banned He just wants modesty (低 调)to be taken into consideration. “Its not about trying to be the clothing police, its just a sensitivity (敏感）issue. Hopefully with us being the first to speak up, it will create a lot of conversations. ”Adney said the phenomenon started about a month ago when about a half dozen female staff, school volunteers and female students complained about girls wearing tight leggings with shorter shirts. In the past, girls wore the leggings with long shirts or jerseys (毛线衫），but the trend of wearing them now with shorter shirts leaves their backside closely defined (轮廓分明），Adney said “This new trend doesnt seem right ，its troubling,” he said. “Cover your butts (屁股）up Im just going to say it straight up. Were seeing too much. ” It certainly isnt the first time Wgh schools and fashion trends have clashed (冲突）. Principals say it comes up nearly every year - for both boys and girls alike.This fall, Adney said the school had to tell boys off for wearing base-ball hats, which arent allowed. Last spring, boys were wearing muscle shirts that were too revealing.Don Johnson9 executive director of the Minnesota Association of Secondary School Principals and a former principal, said schools hand-books outline that they are legally allowed to make restrictions on clothing.43.According to the article, Dave Adney believed that _A.school girls shouldnt wear tight-fitting leggingsB.dressing properly helps students focus on their academic workC.school girls cause more trouble than boys when it comes to following dress codesD.dialogue and conversation is the only way to makes students dress appropriately44.What does the underlined sentence “It must have touched a nerve” in Paragraph 5 suggest?A.Many people had similar experiences and feelings.
