kabc.thats when a pilot from southwest airlines stepped up and held the flight at the gate until dickinson arrived. the pilot was standing by the air bridge waiting for him when dickinson arrived in

probably have a pretty capable working memory and a sharper brain, new research suggests.this mind wandering, it seems, actually gives your working memory a workout. working memory is the mental work space that allows the brain to juggle multiple thoughts at the same time. the more working memory a person has, the more daydreaming they can do without forgetting the task at hand.researchers studied groups of people from the university of wisconsinmadison community, ranging in age from 18 to 65. the volunteers were asked to perform simple tasks, like pressing a button every time they took a breath or clicking in response to a letter popping up on a computer screen; these tasks were so easy that their minds were likely to wander, the researchers figured.the researchers checked in periodically, asking the participants if their minds were on task or wandering. when the task was over, they measured each participants working memory capacity by having them remember letters while doing math questions. though all participants performed well on the task, the researchers noticed that the individuals who indicated their minds had wandered more than others also scored higher on the working memory test.“what this study seems to suggest is that, when circumstances for the task arent very difficult, people who have additional working memory resources allocate them to think about things other than what theyre doing，” said jonathan smallwood, a study researcher of the max planck institute for human cognitve and brain science.when our minds run out of working memory, these offtopic thoughts can take the main stage without us consciously meaning them to; for instance, arriving at home with no memory of the actual trip, or suddenly realizing that theyve turned several pages in a book without understanding any of the words.“its almost like your attention was so absorbed in the mind wandering that there wasnt any left over to remember your goal to read，” study researcher daniel levinson, said in a statement.people with overall higher working memory were better able to stay focused when the task at hand required it. those who had low working memory often had their thoughts drift away from the task, and did less well at it.the findings add to past research suggesting these mind drifts can be positive moments. for instance, daydreaming has often been associated with creativityresearchers think that our most creative and inventive moments come when daydreaming. its likely that the most intelligent among us also have high levels of working memory, levinson noted.()44. the word “juggle” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “_”a. handle b. search c. understand d. distribute()45. what can be concluded from jonathan smallwoods words?a. people who often have daydreams probably own a pretty capable working memory.b. on the working memory test, people with wandering minds will get high score.c. absorbed in the mind wandering, your attention left no space for your goal.d. dealing with some easy jobs, people with higher working memory will daydream.()46. what is the best title of the passage?a. mind drifts are always positive.b. daydreaming is good for the mind.c. creative moments come with working memory.d. the more daydreaming, the more effectively one works.dif california were not already so famous for sillicon valley(硅谷) and hollywood, it might be wellknown for the groups of watertechnology firms in its san diego county. the reverseosmosis (ro) spiral module, the technique that supports turning seawater and wastewater into drinkable stuff, began in san diego in 1964. today dozens of firms in the area supply many of the worlds approximately 13，000 ro plants in places from the persian gulf and israel to australia and china.southern california itself, however, has not so far been a big user of its own technology. this is surprising, given that the whole american southwest faces a water problem. but now as the climate gets warmer and the population increases, there is more agreement that the existing infrastructure, consisting of vast pipes that carry water from the sacramento delta in the north and the colorado river in the east, will not be enough. in places such as san diego, which has inadequate and salty groundwater and currently imports 90% or its water, the answers must be greater conservation, reusing as much water as possible, and getting most of the rest from the sea.the first part, conservation, has been widely accepted by the public. san diego today uses less water with a larger population than it did in 1989, the year water consumption peaked. the second part, water recycling has been a hard sell, because of an unpleasant factor. americans still use the term “toilettotap” for recycling, even though properly treated wastewater is nowadays completely clean. singapore made its programme acceptable in part by renaming it as newater.this is where desalination comes in, which means taking the salt out of salt water. a firm called poseidon resources is now close to building the biggest desalination plant in america behind a power station by the beach in carlsbad. the power plant sucks in 304m gallons of seawater a day for cooling, so poseidon plans to change 104m gallons a day by using the ro spiral module.lots of people like the idea. once fully running in 2015, the plant could produce 10% of the regions water. and there are plans for more desalination plants. many place
