Fort Macon was built to show the seafaring history.BIt is free to visit the Martime Museum and Beaufort.CPeople can visit Tryon Palace on Sunday mornings.DAmong the four places, Fort Macon is near the beachBI wrote a business plan the other day. I gave it to my husband for suggestions. After reading it, he said, “I dont think this is up to your usual standards.” I said, “I need more information. What doesnt work?” He said he wasnt sure. I then took the letter and reread it.He asked, “How about if I look at it again and make notes between the space?” I agreed. A half hour later I looked at his notes and told him he didnt understand the situation and what I really wanted to express. He shrugged (耸肩) and said OK. I took the letter and went back to my computer and again revised. As I was writing, I could see my letter improving based on his suggestions. When I finished, I proudly handed the letter back to my husband. He read it for the third time and said, “Its still not right but I couldnt exactly say.” I was a little annoyed and then told him I was the writer and I had seen some goofy letters he sent out. But I picked up my letter and went back to the computer.After an hour of revisions, I went back to my husband apologetically with letter in hand. I told him I was sorry for what Id said and asked if he would please read the letter again because I did value his contribution. Being a very patient and kind-hearted fellow, he once again read my letter and declared that it was fine.This all leads me to the following: When you ask for advice on a project, be appreciative and grateful. Understand that the advice and suggestions you get may be negative. Understand that it may mean more work for you. And keep in mind that the final responsibility for the project is still yours. So be modest and thankful even if he or she has noted some problems.24Why did the author give her business plan to her husband at first?A. To show off her excellent work.B. To have him type it on the computer.C. To ask him to make some changes from all details.D. To ask him to give her some advice.25The authors husband shrugged after hearing her words because he _.A. believed in his judgement but couldnt find whyB. knew there was nothing wrong in the business planC. doubted about himself since he found no excusesD. believed he himself was right and knew the roots26We can infer from the passage that the authors husband was _.A. selfish, proud and determinedB. good at expressing himselfC. honest, kind and patientD. humorous, active and careful27The author wants to tell us that if you ask for suggestions, _.A. do accept all suggestions from the giversB. dont get upset if some are negativeC. do keep silent before taking actionD. do be grateful and confidentCTaking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But did you know that showering can also benefit your mind?A research by Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist from Yale University in the US interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work.So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain it.Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone (荷尔蒙) closely related to our creativity. “People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist. “Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring Aha! moment to us.”Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck with. Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H. Carson, author of Your Creative Brain, “a showering hour may turn into an incubation (孵化) period for your ideas.”Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.”Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it neednt just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration. For instance, Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind, whether its a walk near the ocean, a country drive or reading a book at home.28According to the article, what changes can showering cause?A. Bringing the terrible moment to us.B. Increasing the level of dopamine.C. Leading to boredom or tiredness.D. Setting the creative part of the brain free.29If one has focused on something all day, showering can help _.A. turn ones attention inwardsB. draw ones attention to the outside worldC. one make an important breakthroughD. many chemical changes to take place30It can be inferred from the article that _.A. changes in the frequency of an action can create a new perspectiveB. it is a good idea to talk with others about their sources of inspirationC. our lives might feel longer and fuller if we frequently try new thingsD. it is helpful to try something different rather than stay focused on a difficult task31The example of Gertrude Stein in the last paragraph is used to _. A. encourage readers to find their own ways of getting inspirationB. point out to readers that its hard to find inspirationC. explain how to link inspiration with readers daily livesD. show that creativity often comes from strange placesDTelecommuting（电子交通）substituting the computer for the trip to the jobhas been a solution to all kinds of problems related to office work. For workers it promises freedom from the office, less time wasted in traffic, and help with child-care conflicts. For management，telecommuting helps keep high performers on board, minimizes tardiness（工作拖拉） and absenteeism（旷工） by eliminating commutes, allows periods of solitude for high-concentration tasks, and provides scheduling flexibility. In some areas, such as Southern California and Seattle, Washington, local governments are encouraging companies to start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rush-hour traffic jams and improve air quality. But these benefits do not come easily. Making a telecommuting program work requires careful planning and an understanding of the differences between telecommuting realities and popular images.Many workers are seduced by rosy illusions（幻想） of life as a telecommuter. A computer programmer from New York City moves to the quiet Adirondack Mountains and stays in contact with her office via computer. A manager comes into his office three days a week and works at home the other two. An accountant stays home to care for her sick child. These are powerful images, but they are a limited reflection of reality. Telecommuting workers soon learn that it is almost impossible to concentrate on work and care for a young child at the same time. Before a certain age, young children cannot recognize much less respect, the necessary boundaries between work and family. Additional child support is necessary if the parent is to get any work done. Management too must separate the myth from the reality. Although the media has paid a great deal of attention to telecommuting, in most cases, it is the employees situation，not the availability of technology that makes a telecommuting arrangement. That is partly why, despite the widespread press coverage（报道） , the number of companies with work-at-home programs or policy guidelines remains small. 32. In theory, the benefits that telecommuting brings dont includeA. looking after childrenB. improving air qualityC. providing flexible scheduleD. increasing the salary33. The underlined word “seduced” probably means A. cautiousB. surprisedC. curiousD. confused34.In reality, telecommuting workers learn that A. young children may help them with their workB. young children may disturb them to workC. they can finish their work more efficientlyD. they can balance their work and family more easily35.What really makes telecommuting possible in most cases?A. The widespread press coverage.B. The availability of technology.C. The employees situation.D. Work at home programs or policy guidelines.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人空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余选项。Getting to sleep is all about the 4Rs Regularity, Routine, a Restful bedroom and the Right bed. 1. RegularityRegularity of bedtimes and getting up times helps ensure good sleep. 36 Keep your bedroom dark while you are sleeping so that the light will not interfere with your rest.
