AI have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy Seize the moment. Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it. Don’t have it on their schedule, and didn’t know it was coming or they are too strict to depart from their routine.I can’t count the times I called my sister and said, ―How about go ing to lunch in half an hour?‖ She would gasp and stammer (结结巴巴地说), ―I can’t. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known it yesterday, I had a late breakfast, and it looks like rain.‖ And my personal favorite response ―It’s just Monday.‖ She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch toget her. From then on, I’ve tried to be a little more flexible.Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we are awaken, and all having to show for our lives is re petition of ―I’m going to‖ , ―I plan on‖ and ―Someday, when things are settled down a bit.‖When anyone calls my ―seize the moment‖ friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for a while, and you’re ready to change your attitude to life.My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker(烘缸). If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happily.Now go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to … not something on your SHOULD DO list.21．The example of the writer’s sister serves as ________.A. a debateB. an introductionC. a supportD. a conclusion22．The writer thinks that the excuse ―It’s just Monday.‖ is acceptable, because ________.A. it is still likely that they can have lunch together some time laterB. it sounds most reasonable of all the excusesC. it shows respect for the writer’s suggestionD. it indicates the time when they can have lunch together23．The underlined word ―contagious‖ in the fourth paragraph means ________ .A. accurateB. influentialC. hopefulD. necessary24．What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage?A. To suggest how time flies.B. To persuade busy people to relax.C. To advise people to keep their promise.D. To persuade readers to be flexible on their schedule for practical joy.BAre you a team person? Are you at your best as part of a small, tightly united group of dedicated workers? If so, the future may hold more for you than you think.High technology, some predicted, would make teamwork a thing of the past. That’s happening in those areas of business and data processing where one person and a computer can replace a team of workers.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. They can exchange ideas, try out different designs and test their results.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. An architectural team can do the same with a building or a bridge. 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. It now usually continues into actual design, manufacturing and testing. ―Computer–aided design (CAD) and computer–aided manufacture (CAM) are breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions,‖ explains Dr. Prakash Rao, an engineering manager at General Electric. ―Interdisciplinary（跨学科的）teams and engineers follow a product from concept to production. Everything is interconnected like a network.‖Sometimes a computer–aided effort can extend beyond production. A team that produces robots may use them to explore space and ocean depth. For high–technology team work, the future seems limitless.25. The underlined part ―hold more‖ in paragraph 1 most probably means to .A．have more chances B．give more rightsC．make more regulations D．store more information26. According to the passage, the writer believes that .A．teamwork requires more use of computers than that of human beingsB．teamwork will be completely replaced by computersC．the concept of teamwork is still alive and no longer the same as the pastD．high technology would make teamwork a thing of the past27. The examples given by the writer in Paragraph 4 serve .A．to prove high technology has a promising futureB．to explain his idea of new type of teamwork is reasonableC．to show that it tends to be an end to teamwork soonD．to indicate the computer—assisted team effort just means investigation and simulation.28. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．Many fields of science and technology are now using computers effectively.B．No details are given in the passage about barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions.C．Experts from different fields have to cooperate to develop a product from concept to productionD．High technology is nothing but a new type of teamwork plus CAD and CAM.CPoet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired. But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons.We eventua lly arrived at my parents’doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of storiesI grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey----and the best part of yourself.29.
