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 Wisconsin Madison 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 用心 爱心 专心 5 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 participant s 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 aren t very difficult people who have additional working memory resources allocate them to think about things other than what they re 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 off topic 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 they ve turned several pages in a book without understanding any of the words It s almost like your attention was so absorbed in the mind wandering that there wasn t 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 creativity researchers think that our most creative and inventive moments come when daydreaming It s likely that the most intelligent among us also have high levels of working memory Levinson noted 40 The word juggle in the second paragraph can be replaced by A handle B search C understand D distribute 41 What can be concluded from Jonathan Smallwood s 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 42 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 If California were not already so famous for Sillicon Valley 硅谷 and Hollywood it might be well known for the groups of water technology firms in its San Diego County The reverse osmosis RO spiral module the technique that supports turning seawater and waste water into drinkable stuff began in San 用心 爱心 专心 6 Diego in 1964 Today dozens of firms in the area supply many of the world s 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 south west 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 toilet to tap for recycling even though properly treated waste water 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 region s water And there are plans for more desalination plants Many places would need to take much less water from the endangered Colorado River But a few people hate it a lot Joe Geever an expert in biology says desalination uses too much energy and that Poseidon plant would kill too much sea life He understands that there is a role for desalination he says but would rather not have it right there right now and on this scale 43 Which of the following is WRONG about the RO spiral module according to the passage A This technology is not widely used in its birthplace B Today there are about 13 000 RO plants in the Persian Gulf Israel Australia and China C This technology can be used in desalination plants to make sea water drinkable D It is a promising water treatment technology welcomed by a lot of people 44 How many solutions to the water problem in San Diego are mentioned in the article A 2 B 3 C 4 D 5 45 What can we infer from the article A The Colorado River is the main water source for California 用心 爱心 专心 7 B Americans still use the term toilet to tap for recycling water C NEWater serves as a brand for recycled clean water in Singapore D Poseidon Resources stands for the power station by the beach in Carlsbad 46 What is Joe Geever s attitude toward building a large desalination plant at present A Supportive B Negative C Optimistic D Vague As you grow older you ll be faced with some challenging decisions like whether to cut class or try cigarettes Making decisions on your own is hard enough but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder People who are your age like your classmates are called peers When they try to influence how you act to get you to do something it s called peer pressure Peers can have a positive influence on each other Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone s reading it These are examples of how peers positively influence each other Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways For example a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball It is tough to be the only one who says no to peer pressure but you can do it Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do You ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to choose your friends wisely Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this If you choose friends who don t cut class smoke cigarettes or lie to their parents then you probably won t do these things either even if other kids do If you continue to face peer pressure and you re finding it difficult to handle talk to someone you trust Don t feel guilty if you ve made a mistake or two 47 For whom is the passage most probably written A Students B Parents C Teachers D Doctors 48 In the last three paragraphs the author mainly A explains why friendship is so important B gives advice on how to deal with peer pressure C discusses how peers influence us D shows how to make more good friends 49 Which of following may help handle peer pressure A Spending more time with classmates B Taking up more relaxing hobbies C Choosing friends with no bad habits D Helping others who are in trouble 50 What is the topic of the passage A Friendship B Making decisions C Self confidence D Peer pressure 用心 爱心 专心 8 In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight Two full inches in the first three days These are the kinds of statements used in magazine newspaper radio and television ads promising good shapes and new look to those who buy the medicine or the device The promoters of products say they can shape the legs slim the face smooth wrinkles or in some other way add to beauty or desirability Often such products are nothing more than money making things for their promoters The results they produce are questionable and some are dangerous to health To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation If the product is a drug FDA Food Drug Administration can require
