incident from my mind with the easy carelessness of youth But the words which Carl Walter spoke that day came back to me years later and ever since have been of great value to me Carl Waller was my piano teacher During one of my lessons he asked how much practice I was doing I said three or four hours a day Do you often practice so long at a time asked my teacher 用心 爱心 专心4 I try to I answered Well don t ge said When you grow up time won l come in long periods Practice in minutes whenever you can find them five or ten before school after lunch or between household tasks Spread the practice through the day and piano playing will become a part of your life When I was teaching at Columbia I wanted to write but class periods theme reading and committee meetings filled my days and evenings For two years I got practically nothing down on paper and my excuse was that I had no time Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said During the next week I conducted an experiment Whenever I had five minutes to spare I would sit down and write a hundred words or so To my astonishment at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript 手稿 ready for revision later on I wrote novels by the same means Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever every day there were free moments which could be caught and put to use I even took up piano playing again finding that the small intervals of the day provided enough time for both writing and piano practice There is an important trick in this time using formula you must get into your work quickly If you have only five minutes for writing you can t afford to waste four minutes chewing your pencil You must make your mental preparations ahead of time and focus on your task almost immediately when the time comes Fortunately rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes But life can be counted on to supply interruptions 中断时间

into a very difficult problem It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle Though he was tired Howe slept badly He turned and turned Then he had a dream He dreamed that he had been caught by terrible savages SHS A whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine When he tried to do so Howe ran into the same problem as before The thread kept getting caught around the needle The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe They came up towards him with their spears raised But suddenly the inventor noticed something There was a hole in the tip of each spear The inventor awoke from the dream realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practical sewing machine Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way Thomas Edison the inventor of the electric light said his best ideas came into him in dreams So did the great physicist Albert Einstein Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre To know the value of dreams you have to understand what happens when you are asleep Even then a part of your mind is still working This unconscious 无意识的 but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake However the unconscious part acts in a special way It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first This is why dreams are sometimes called secret messages to ourselves 67 According to the passage Elias Howe was A the first person who solved problems in his sleep B much more hard working than other inventors 用心 爱心 专心8 C the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked D the only person who knew the value of dream at the time 68 The problem Howe was trying to solve was A what kind of thread to use B how to design a needle which would not break C where to put the needle D how to prevent the thread getting caught around the needle 69 Thomas Edison is spoken of because A he also tried to invent a sewing machine B he got some of his ideas from dreams C he was one of Howe s best mends D he also had difficulty in falling asleep 70 Dreams are sometimes called secret messages to ourselves because A strange images are used to communicate ideas B images which have no meaning are used C we can never understand the real meaning D only specially trained people can understand them 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 并在答题卡上将该 项涂黑 选项中有两项为多余选项 Are you cooperative Are you a

But elsewhere teamwork is very much alive High technology has led to a new type of teamwork in a number of fields including advertising scientific research engineering design architecture and ocean exploration Through computer networking scientists engineers and technicians at different locations often thousands of miles apart can work on the same project at once 72 Examples An engineering team can now design and try out a robot system a new manufacturing process or an entire factory before it is built 73 A medical team can simulate 模拟 a dangerous operation before performing it on a patient Of course computer assisted team effort doesn t end with investigation and simulation 74 CAD CAM computer aided design and manufacture is breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions explains Dr Prakash Rao an engineering
