But the words, Carl Walter spoke that day, came back to me years later, and ever since have been of great value to me.Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a day.“Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?”“I try to.”“Well, dont.” he exclaimed. “When you grow up, time wont come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, 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 unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript ready for revision, later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, in every day there were idle 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 sufficient 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 but five minutes for writing, you cant afford to waste four chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly 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. Carl Walter has had a tremendous influence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need, if I plunge in without delay.56. What is the best title of this passage?A. Concentrate on Your Work. B. A Little at a Time.C. How I Became a Writer.D. Good Advice.57. Which of the following statements is true?AThe writer owes great thanks to his teacher for teaching him to work in long stretches.BCarl Walter has had a great influence on the writers life since he became a student.CThe writer didnt take the teachers words to heart at first.DRapid concentration is actually more difficult than most people imagine.58The underlined part “counted on” can be replaced by _.AenrichedBconcentratedCvaluedDexpected59We can infer that the writer _.Ahas new books published each year however busy his teaching isBis always tired of interruptions in life because his teaching schedule is always heavyChas formed a bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novelsDcan find sufficient time for mental preparations beforehand, so hes devoted to work instantly(B)The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like I never do anything right into positive ones like I can succeed. But was positive thinking advocated by Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.The studys authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, youre just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, I am lovable.Those with low self-esteem didnt feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who werent urged to think positive thoughts.The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.60. What do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry?A. It is a highly profitable industry.B. It is based on the concept of positive thinking.C. It was established by Norman Vincent Peale.D. It has yielded positive results.61. What is the finding of the Canadian researchers?A. Encouraging positive thinking many do more harm than good.B. There can be no simple therapy for psychological problems.C. Unhappy people cannot think positively.D. The power of positive thinking is limited.62. What does the author mean by youre just underlining his faults (Line 4, Para. 3)?A. You are not taking his mistakes seriously enough.B. You are pointing out the errors he has committed.C. You are emphasizing the fact that he is not intelligent.D. You are trying to make him feel better about his faults.63. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A. The effects of positive thinking vary from person to person.B. Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy.C. Different people tend to have different ways of thinking.D. People can avoid making mistakes through meditation.(C)On March 23, 2020, Google took a major step in withdrawing its search-engine services from Beijing to Hong Kong. Google acknowledged that it failed to make progress in negotiations with the Chinese government for permission to let Google stop censoring(审查) its search results.Since posting the announcement on its website, Googles stock price has fallen from $ 595 to about $ 567, while Baidu, the leading search engine in China, has seen its stock price rise by 50%. A potential foreign beneficiary (受益者) is Bing, Microsofts new search engine. And while Bing may not exactly have got the keys to a very rich kingdom, its managing group understand their good fortune and are not shying about sticking the knife into Google. Craig Mundie, a chief officer of Bing, told China Daily that “We feel good enough now,” adding, “but its a 20-year journey, and not just three years. And Microsoft is here to stay.”Several other Chinese Internet companies are no doubt moving swiftly to take advantage of this situation. Both S a Yahoo-like website in China and a hugely successful instant-messaging company called Tencent (腾讯) are already trying to hire Google China staff. Analysts believe that of the two, Tencent is in the better position. Nearly 70% of Chinas 400 million Internet users use instant-messaging, and of those, 80% use Tencents system, known as QQ. Thats the major reason why Tencents potential market is bigger than Baidus, and an insider at the company acknowledges that the search business is full of opportunities.All the competitors of Google do what the Chinese government requires: censor their search result. If Microsoft and the others intend to be in China “to stay”, as Craig Mundie put it, there is no chance that the censoring principle will change for them.As to the Googles exit, one of its investors made the comment recently, “Therere still a lot of us who believe that theyve made the wise choice. But Google is apparently out and I guess we just get to accept it.” However, some Chinese netizens regretted the loss of its professional services on Google, such as maps, videos, music and translations.64. Google stops its business in China because _.A. too many companies enter the market B. its stock price has fallen sharplyC. Chinese companies hire its workers D. it refused to censor the search results65. When Google withdraws, _.A. Chinese netizens wont have any professional serviceB. Only Chinese companies will provide search serviceC. Chinas attitude towards censoring wont be changedD. The Google managing group will regret its decision66. A suggested title for the news would be .A. When Google Withdraws from China B. Who Wins in Chinas Search BusinessC. Who Will Profit When Google Exits D. Why Google Loses to Other Competitors(D)The word “parkour” comes from a French phrase roughly translated as “military obstacle course(军事障碍课程).” At first glance parkour looks like an extreme sport, and it certainly has many of the same qualities of an extreme sport. However, it is considered by many traceurs as more of an art and exercise, which allows for individual expression and also promotes inner strength and personal growth.It introduces us to complete freedom from obstacles, and it is this freedom that makes parkour very appealing in strict control of modern society. It is a method thats availabl
