But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, lets take a look at three types of waits”.The very purest form of waiting is the WatchedPot Wait It is without doubt the most annoying of al Take filling up the kitchen sink (洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until its full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.A cousin to the WatchedPot Wait is the Forced Wait This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait Directions are very specific. Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes. I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the LuckyBreak Wait This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.Turning ones life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the LuckyBreak Wait well serves those who are willing to do it As long as one doesnt come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time youre standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that youll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, dont feel disappointed. Youre probably just as busy as the next guy.（1）While doing a WatchedPot Wait, we tend to _. A . keep ourselves busyB . get absent-mindedC . grow anxiousD . stay focused（2）What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the WatchedPot Wait? A . The Forced Wait requires some self- control.B . The Forced Wait makes people strictC . The WatchedPot Wait needs directions.D . The WatchedPot Wait involves body and brain.（3）What can we learn about the LuckyBreak Wait? A . It is less voluntary than the Forced WaitB . It doesnt always bring the desired resultC . It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.D . It doesnt give people faith and hope.（4）What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting? A . Take it seriously.B . Dont rely on others.C . Do something else.D . Dont lose heart.13. （10分）阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Enjoy wonderful programmes on TVFollow David8 a. m. 9 a. m.As David grows up, his tail is becoming longer and longer.
