BTheres a thin line between downtime and wasting time.Were surrounded with statistics and stories about how were all overscheduled and underslept. “Busy-ness,” described as both a virtue and an epidemic, inspires countless blog posts and a healthy number of books.Experts warn parents and educators against overscheduling children, whose growing minds and bodies need downtime to develop in every field social, emotional, academic and physical. But we dont spend as much energy defending unstructured time for adults.“Theres a misunderstanding with downtime,” says Shimi Kang, a Harvard-trained child and adult psychiatrist.“It sounds a little ridiculous to say you prioritize rest,” she says. “People judge you as not very ambitious, not very competitive.”In truth, Kang says, restorative downtime is critical for our mental and physical health.“Breaks are moments of breakthroughs,” Kang says. “Certain biological processes occur only during moments of relaxed wakefulness, when the brains default-mode (预设模式) network becomes activated.”Productivity, problem-solving, attention, creativity, a moral compass all are strengthened and improved when our bodies have a chance to rest, Kang says.“A time of relaxed wakefulness is when we integrate what weve felt or heard,” she says. “Its when we make sense of our past and apply it to our future, so our sense of morality and our sense of self are shown to improve.”But all downtime is not created equal, says time use expert Laura Vanderkam. “Theres a big difference between consciously doing nothing versus actually wasting time,” Vanderkam says. “Wasting time is spending it on things that arent particularly meaningful or even enjoyable to you.”“You want to make sure downtime is doing what its supposed to do, which makes you return to your busy life more refreshed,” Vanderkam says.Her patients often tell her they dont have time to build rest into their lives, Kang says.“I tell people, then youre too busy for best health,” she says. “Youre too busy to perform best. Too busy to be brilliant, to be the best athlete, to be the best CEO, writer, homemaker whatever it is youre trying to achieve. Because you need rest to do all of those things.”23. The underlined word “unstructured” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _.A. travellingB. relaxingC. precious D. perfect24. Downtime differs from waste time in that it makes people _. A. spend more time on relaxingB. have a good understanding of the pastC. improve efficiency in work or studyD. have a full schedule for the future25. Whats the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To indicate the consequence of being too busy. B. To analyze why people fail to become successful.C. To advise people to spare time to relax themselves. D. To urge people to apply themselves to achieving goals. 26. What can we infer from the passage? A. Downtime can result in a person lacking motivation. B. Its generally unacceptable if people regard rest as high priority(优先考虑的事). C. Being hardworking is no longer a virtue in society nowadays. D. “Busy-ness” damages people both emotionally and physically. CAlice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur (创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids teeth, instead of destroying them.It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning. “Why cant I make a healthy candy thats good for my teeth so that my parents cant say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.With her dads permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moores product CanCandy.As CanCandys success grows, so does Moores credibility as a young entrepreneur.

Success means getting personal desires satisfied.DMy grandmother Rosalind Einhorn was born exactly fifty-two years before I was, on August 28, 1917. Like many poor Jewish families in New York City, hers lived in a small, crowded apartment close to their relatives. Her parents, aunts and uncles addressed her male cousins by their given names, but she and her sister were referred to only as “Girlie”.During the Depression, my grandmother was pulled out of Morris High School to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that her mother could resell for a tiny profit. No one in the community would have considered taking a boy out of school. A boys education was the familys hope to move up the financial and social ladder. Education for girls, however, was less significant both financially, since they were unlikely to contribute to the familys income, and culturally, since boys were expected to study the Torah while girls were expected to run a “proper home”. Luckily for my grandmother, a local teacher insisted that her parents put her back into school. She went on not only to finish high school but to graduate from U.C. Berkeley.After college, “Girlie” worked selling pocketbooks and accessories at Davids Fifth Avenue. When she left her job to marry my grandfather, Davids had to hire four people to replace her. Years later, when my grandfathers paint business was struggling, she jumped in and took some of the hard steps he was unwilling to take, helping to save the family from financial ruin. She displayed her business ability again in her forties. After being diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer, she beat it and then devoted herself to raising money for the clinic that treated her by selling some watches. Girlie ended up with a profit that Apple would envy. I have never met anyone with more energy and determination than my grandmother.When my grandmother had children of her own my mother and her two brothers she emphasized education for all of them. My mother attended the University of Pennsylvania. When she graduated in 1965 with a degree in French literature, she surveyed a workforce that she believed consisted of two career options for women: teaching or nursing. She chose teaching. She began a Ph. D. programme, got married, and then dropped out when she became pregnant with me. It was thought to be a sign of weakness if a husband needed his wifes help to support their family, so my mother became a stay-at-home parent and an active volunteer. The centuries-old division of labor stood.Even though I grew up in a traditional home, my parents had the same expectations for me, my sister, and my brother. All the three of us were encouraged to do well in school, do equal routine tasks, and participate in after-school activities. We were all supposed to be athletic too. My brother and sister joined sports teams, but I was the kid who got picked last in gym, despite my athletic shortcomings. I was raised to believe that girls could do anything boys could do and that all career paths were open to me.When I arrived at college in the fall of 1987, my classmates of both genders seemed equally focused on academics. I dont remember thinking about my future career differently from the male students. I also dont remember any conversations about someday balancing work and children. My friends and I assumed that we would have both. Men and women competed openly and aggressively with one another in classes, activities and job interviews. Just two generations removed from my grandmother, the playing field seemed to be level.But more than twenty years after my college graduation, the world has not evolved nearly as much as I believed it would. Almost all of my male classmates work in professional settings. Some of my female classmates work full-time or part-time outside the home and just as many are stay-at-home mothers and volunteers like my mom. This mirrors the national trend. In comparison to their male counterparts（相同能力者）, highly trained women are scaling back and dropping out of the workforce in high numbers.31. Why were the writers grandma and her sisters called “Girlie”?A. They had not yet got their given names.B. They were highly valued by their elders.C. They were regarded as less important than boys.D. They shared apparent similarities in many ways.32. What conclusion can we draw about the writers grandmother?A. She was full of ideas for solving various problems.B. She was an extraordinarily able and tough woman.C. She benefited greatly from her family background.D. She had special ways of teaching her own children.33. What might people think when the writers mother gave up her job?A. It was quite normal for a woman like her to do so.B. Her freedom of choice ought to be well respected.C. Her job should be taken over by a younger person.D. It was a real shame about her losing that good job.34. From the description of the writers own life, we can see _.A. great expectations in the students mindsB. innocent friendship between boys and girlsC. positive attitudes to work and competitionsD. seeming social progress in certain aspects35. By writing the passage the writer intends to reveal _.A. the necessity of womens educationB. the importance of womens liberationC. the existence of gender discriminationD. the lives of three generations of women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。Happiness begins from appreciationIf you are feeling that life just cannot be any worse for you, it can be challenging to think positive. When stressed, depressed, upset or otherwise in a negative state of mind because you are aware that misfortune keeps occurring, it is important to shift those negative thoughts to something positive. 36 It is often very hard to think positiv
