高考英语一轮总复习课时作业31Unit1Livingwell(含解析)新人教版选修7课时作业 31Ⅰ.阅读理解(2019·绥德中学高三阶段性测试)Are you sick of going to bed late and waking up tired? Then grab your hiking boots and a tent. A new study suggests that camping in the great outdoors for a couple of days can reset your body clock and help you get more sleep.The body clock is an internal system that tells our bodies when it's time to go to sleep and when it's time to wake up. Scientists track this clock by measuring the amount of melatonin (褪黑激素) circulating in a person's blood at any given time.In a healthy sleeper, melatonin levels rise a few hours before bedtime, stay high through the night, and then settle back down when it's time to wake up.In our modern society, however, most of us stay up many hours past sunset and would probably sleep in many hours after sunrise if we could. And the trouble is, your melatonin levels may still be high when your alarm clock goes off in the morning, which leads to fatigue. It may also have other health consequences as well, such as diabetes(糖尿病), overweight and heart disease.Professor Kenneth Wright of the University of Colorado in the US wanted to see if our body clocks can be reset by a short stay in nature. His team recruited(招募)fourteen physically active volunteers in their 20s and 30s. Nine went on a weekend camping trip, while the other five stayed home. At the end of the weekend, the researchers reported that in just two days, the campers' body clocks had shifted so that their melatonin levels began to rise more than an hour earlier than they did before they left on the trip. By contrast, the body clocks of the group that stayed home shifted even later over the course of the weekend.“This tells us we can reset our clocks fast,”Wright said.Therefore, if you want to change your sleep patterns you could try to increase your exposure to natural light during the day and decrease the amount of artificial light you see at night. And if that doesn't work, there's always camping.本文为说明文。

Only one third of it was relevant to their work, the survey found. Information overload for whit ecollar workers has become a global issue. The huge amount of information has a lready affected their efficiency in management as well as their performance at work.Buried with emailsEvery morning, a secretary at the human resources department of an auto parts company opens her email box, only to find it crammed with at least 50 unread mails.For her, even scanning through these emails every day takes at least half an hour. Some of her colleagues are not so lucky—they have to read at least 100.Bothered with callsTelephone calls are also causing a problem. More than 40 percent whitecollar workers choose mobile phones as the preferred way to communicate important and urgent business matters. Talking saves time and energy over the clicking, reading and replying to emails, but phone calls are also more distracting(分心的). While answering a call, a clerk is likely to put away a much more important task at hand and start the business being talked about on the phone.Solution? Not yetMany companies start with providing staff with better computers, better Internet access and more advanced gadgets(小装置). For example, staff members above a certain level in one company will be provided with a blackberry phone for easier access to their emails. The company has also organ ized many lectures on efficient ways of email management. Yet most whitecollar workers think their companies can do more.16.What does the new survey find ab out whitecollar workers?A.They spend 51 percent of their work time on meetings.B.Only half of the information they receive is useful.C.Over 60 percent of them prefer to use the telephone.D.Some of them have to read at least 100 emails every day.17.Telephone calls cause a problem because ________.A.they take up the time to receive and send emailsB.they are often not answeredC.they are mostly not about businessD.they may lead to change of work schedule18.How do some companies try to solve the problem of information overload?A.They start to give staff a pay rise.B.They plan to employ more people.C.They provide employees with more advanced equipment.D.They organize lectures on how to reduce stress.19.What is the major issue discussed in this text?A.Poor management leads to inefficiency at work.B.Junk mail is causing big trouble.C.Whitecollar workers suffer from information overload.D.Better computers are in need in workplaces.BScientists who try to predict earthquakes have gotten some new helpers recently—animals.That's right, animals. Scientists have begun to understand what farmers have known for thousands of years. Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming, and they show their fear by acting in strange ways. Before a Chinese quake in 1975, snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air. Cows broke their halters(缰绳) and tried to escape.Chickens refused to enter their cage. All of this unusual behavior, as well as physical changes in the earth, warned Chinese scientists of the coming quake. They moved people away from the danger zone and saved thousands of lives.One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animal behavior predict quakes. It's not an easy job. First of all, not every animal reacts to the danger of an earthquake. Just before a California quake in 1977, for example, an Arabian horse became very nervous and tried to break out of his enclosure. The Australian horse next to him, however, remained perfectly calm. It's also difficult at times to tell the difference between normal animal restlessness and “earthquake nerves”.A zoo keeper once called earthquake researchers, saying that his cougar had been acting strangely. It turned out that the cat had an upset stomach.A second task for scientists is to find out exactly what kind of warnings the animals receive. They know that animals sense far more of the world than humans do. Many animals can see, hear, and smell things that people do not even notice. Some can sense tiny changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism of the earth. This extra sense probably helps animals predict quakes.A good example of this occurred with a group of dogs. They were shut in an area that was being shaken by a series of tiny earthquakes.(Several small quakes often come before or after a large one.) Before each quake a low booming sound was heard. Each boom caused the dogs to bark wildly. Then the dogs began to bark during a silent period. A scientist who was recording quakes looked at his machine. It was acting as though there were a loud noise too. The scientist realized that the dogs had reacted to a booming noise. They also sensed the tiny quakes that followed it. The machine recorded both, though humans felt and heard nothing.In this case there was a machine to monitor what the dogs were sensing. Many times, however, our ma chines record nothing extraordinary, even though animals know a quake is coming. The animals might be sensing something we measure but do not recognize as a warning.Discovering what animals sense, and learning how they know it is a danger signal, is a job for future scientists.20.Through the passage the writer hopes to explore ________.A.why animals send a danger signal before an earthquakeB.how animals know when an earthquake is comingC.why animals not humans have a good sense of dangerD.ho w much animals know about an earthquake21.During an earthquake in China in 1975 ________.A.chickens refused to go out of their cageB.snakes were frozen to death in their cavesC.snakes awoke from their winter sleep earlierD.cows broke their halters and escaped from their sheds22.Which of the following is one of earthquake nerves according to the passage?A.An Arabian horse tried to escape from his enclosure.B.A cougar had an upset stomach unexpectedly.C.An Australian horse was perfectly calm.D.A cat acted very strangely in a zoo.23.The scientists did an experiment with a group of dogs to ________.A.find out that the machine could record unusual happeningsB.compare the reactions of animals with those of humansC.prove that animals could sense more than humansD.find out what exact warnings animals sendⅢ.短文填词Dear Jenny,In your letter, you asked me something about how to keep healthy.

operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things.Even if this is possible,it is shortterm,and tends to produce unexpected and unwanted results.If you order someone to do something against their will,they may do it because they feel they have to,but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long term.They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down,making the person unable to function at his or her best.If they connect you with this emotion of fear,they will become less functional around you,and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot,but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively.Fear does no good to leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character,and our understanding and use of emotion.We can order someone to do something,which may be part of the work day;or we can employ them at the emotional level,so they will become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation.Today’s work place is all about relationships.Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they’re recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker.Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like.Leader s understand the way things work.They know the pay checkis not the single most important factor in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence—knowing your own emotions,and how to handle them,and those of others.Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationship with people around you,which is the key to the leadership skills.1.The writer

Unit 1 Festivals around the worldⅠ.阅读理解A(2017·临沂一中模拟)One day, I noticed the most beautiful Cadillac pull in the lot while waiting for my husband. A pretty female driver pulled into the spot beside our car. There was a striking resemblance to Liz Taylor. Her eyes were as blue as the sea, and teeth like an even row of pearls. A few minutes later, a nice looking man entered her car, leaned over and kissed her and she drove away.Sitting there, I wanted to cry. How could some people have it all?Then it became almost routine to see her about once a week. She seemed friendly and always waved, flashing a big smile. My envy continued to exist long after she drove away.A couple of weeks later, sitting in our usual parking lot, I was holding a book, watching her over the top of it. Her husband came to the car, took her arm and helped her out of the car. I could see very well as she moved to get out. She unsteadily walked around to the passenger side very slowly, leaning on a walking cane. Sitting sideways, she lifted one leg with her hands and then the other. The beautiful lady had a prosthesis (假肢) on the left leg and a brace (支持物) on the right leg.I couldn't watch them drive away as the tears were blinding me. Through my tears, I told my husband about the beautiful lady. He said he knew her husband and the story. The lady and her parents were in a car that got caught on the railroad tracks and was hit by a train. Both parents were killed and she was severely injured. She was only 12 years old. The railroad made a large settlement with her because the crossing had no signals. He explained her car was specially built for her needs as well as the home.I prayed for forgiveness all the way home. The lady I thought had everything I didn't. I realized how lucky I was to have my parents, the ability to walk, run or dance through life and many wonderful things money can't buy. I would not have traded places with the beautiful lady for anything.When you meet a person who seems to be much better off than you, don't be fooled.【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

to an academic study,which suggests an “empty nest” is not always a bad thing.Popular wisdom has it t hat parents’ relationships may suffer once their young fly the coop,because they feel they have lost their purpose in life.However,a new study by researchers at the University of California,Berkeley,has found that many couples actually feel happier when t heir children leave home because they are able to enjoy spending time together.In total,123 American mothers born in the 1930s were tracked for 18 years and asked to rate their satisfaction levels shortly after marrying,when they were bringing up babies,once their children reached their teenage years and finally at age 61,when almost all had “empty nests”.Although not all said they were happier in general,most claimed their marriages had improved since their children had left home.Researchers believe this is not just because the spouses were spending more time together,but because they were able to enjoy each other’s company more.One of the participants in the study,which is published in the journal Psychological Science,said:“Once the kids grow up...there’s some of that stress removed...that responsibility removed,so things are a little more relaxed.”Psychologist Sara Gorchoff,who carried out the investigation,said:“The takehome message for couples with young children is ‘hang in there’.” Her coauthor Oliver John added:“Don’t wait until your kids leave home to schedule quality time with your partner.”However,Dr Dorothy Rowe,from the British Psychological Society,said the effectsof living in an “empty nest” will depend on the parents’ relationship wit h their children.“If you’re just waiting for them to leave home so you can get on with your life,then of course you’ll be pleased to see them go,” she said,“But if you’ve built your life around your children you’ll be terribly lonely.For some parents,thei r world falls apart when their children leave.”1.It is commonly believed that________.A.marriages improve after children leave homeB.an “empty nest” is always a happy thingC.parents’ relationships may suffer once their young grow up and move out D.parents will be pleased after their children leave home2.When did many couples feel happier according to the study?A.At age 61,when almost all had “empty nests”.B.Shortly after marrying.C.Once their children reached their teenage years.D.When they were bringing up babies.3.Marriages improve after children fly the coop not because______.A.many couples are able to spend time togetherB.many couples are able to enjoy each other’s companyC.things are a little more relaxedD.many couples needn’t work at all4.The author of the passage tends to agree that________.A.parents should build their life around their kidsB.parents should schedule quality time with each other before kids leave home C.parents’ relationship with their kids has no effect on marriages at all D.parents should be pleased to see their kids leave

think.Tipping,psychologists have found,is not just about service.Instead,studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series ofdifferent factors from the waiter’s choice of words,to how they carry themselves while taking orders,to the bill’s total.Even ho w much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.“Studies before have shown that mimicry (模仿) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,”wrote Rick van Baaren,a social psychology profe ssor.“These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimicks them.”So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups.He requested that half serve with a phrase such as,“Coming up!”Those in the other ha lf were instructed to repeat th e orders and preferences back to the customers.Rick van Baaren then compared their takehome pay.The results were clear—it pays to mimic your customer.The copycat (模仿者) waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.Leonard Green a nd Joel Myerson,psychologists at Washington University in St.Louis,found the generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill.After research on the 1,000 tips left for waiters,cabdrivers,hair stylists,they found tip percentage s in these three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up.In fact,tip percentages appear to plateau (稳定期) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $100.“That’s also a point of tipping,” Green says.“You have to give a little extra to the cabdriver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you.If they weren’t there,you’d never get any service.So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”1.Apart from service,how many other factors affecting the customers’tipping are mentioned in the passage?A.1. B.2. C.3. D.4.2.These studies show that________.A.tipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiters B.people who are being mimicked usually tip less to the person who mimics them C.the mimic waiters can get almost twice as much money as those who don’t mimick othersD.mimicry makes the mimicker feel bad3.According to the passage,which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages?4.We know from the passage that the writer seems to________.A.object to Mr Green’s idea about tippingB.think part of Mr Green’s explanation is reasonableC.give his generous tip to waiters very oftenD.support the opinions of Mr Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping答案:Ⅰ.单项填空1.C 句意为:到他认识到已经中计的时候,再做任何事情也就不济于事了。

2022届高三英语(人教版)总复习课时作业31 Word版含答案
课时作业31Ⅰ.阅读理解(2022·天津高考)Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲乏) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order (按字母挨次), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can—then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》) , I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.1.People with start-up fatigue are most likely to ________.A.delay tasks B.work hardC.seek help D.accept failure2.What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A.Writing essays in strict order.B.Building up physical strength.C.Leaving out the toughest ideas.D.Dealing with the hardest task first.3.On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A.Before starting a difficult task.B.When all the solutions fail.C.If the job is rather boring.D.After finding a way out.4.According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ________.A.ignore mental problemsB.get some nice sleepC.gain complete reliefD.find the right solution5.What could be the best title for the passage?A.Success Is Built upon FailureB.How to Handle Performance FatigueC.Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD.Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems答案与解析本文是一篇说明文。

work,according to the Harris Interactive poll conducted in the United States between Jan.29 and Feb.2 among 2,003 adults.The random national telephone survey released this week by the Federal Waybased charity World Vision found that more teens volunteer to support a charitable (慈善的) cause—56 percent—than have a parttime job—39 percent.Parents and guardians said 82 percent of the teens in their lives do something to support charitable causes,including volunteering,recruiting others to a cause,wearing a Tshirt or donating money.Fortysix percent of the adults surveyed said they volunteered their time and they also inspired their children to volunteer.Sara Johnson,a teacher who advises students at a private school in a Chicago suburb,says she’s seen a rise of teen involv ement in social causes since President Barack Obama was elected in November.The Harris Interactive survey found a quarter of teens have become more involved in charitable causes or organizations as a result of the economic downturn,but the economy has also led to cuts in allowances,and has teens work more hours at a paying job.Alynn Woodson,director of volunteer engagement at Habitat for Humanity International,said she has noticed a new enthusiasm among teen volunteers for the organization.Habitat for Humanity International celebrates the 20th anniversary of its alternative spring break program this year and is expecting more than 12,000 young people to help build homes for lowincome people around the nation.1.The following statements about the teens’ v oluntary work are true EXCEPT________.A.the economic downturn led teens to work less hours at paying jobsB.the poll was done at the end of January and the early FebruaryC.children do more voluntary work than their parentsD.more teens are involved in charitable causes or organizations2.We can infer from the passage that________.A.parents and guardians encourage their children to do voluntary workB.volunteers all wear Tshirts while doing charity workC.more teens are doing paying jobs as a result of the economic downturn D.less teens were enthusiastic about voluntary work before Obama came into power3.The author mentioned Habitat for Humanity International in order to prove________.A.that homes for lowincome people will be built around the nationB.Alynn Woodson is the director of volunteer engagementC.more young people are doing volunteer workD.it’s 20 years since Habitat for Humanity International came into being 4.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A.More teens doing voluntary workB.Teens setting examples for parents in charitable causesC.Comments on teens’ voluntary workD.The 20th anniversary of Habitat for Humanity International(2009年厦门检测,D) Just as the stock (股票) market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind,we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to our beliefsabout what is possible.Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to challenge our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy.For example,imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they possessed.As a member of that group,you would likely hold that same belief about yourself.As a result,even if you had a great desire to create music,you might be hesitant to really get behind yourself,fearing that your investment (投资) would not pay off.Even if you had the courage to follow your passion,your inner belief that you are not born talented would probably be a major obstacle to investing your energy in your dream.On the other hand,if you found a way to release that negative belief,a great flood of energy would pour forth,greatly increasing the likelihood of your success.How much energy we are willing to invest in the various ideas,dreams,and visions we carry within is like the money people are,or are not,willing to invest in the various products available for trade on the stock market.And in both cases,belief plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something.One way to open up the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable guide we sometimes think.There are other more reliable things of success that we can put our faith in,such as passion,feeling,and sense.Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the grain,trusting their sense over the common opinion held by common people about what will work.In the same way,we can learn to trust our heart’s desires and our sense to guide us,questioning any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves.As we take out energy from limiting ideas about what is possible,we free up the resources that have the power to make our inner economy prosper.5.We can safely conclude from the first paragraph that________.A.our belief is not reliableB.belief is not so important in our successC.belief is an obstacle to our successD.our belief determines our success in some way6.According to the passage,if a family of origin has passion for literature,the members of the family will probably________.A.write poemsB.hate literatureC.enter the field of literatureD.teach literature7.We can put our faith in the following things of success except________.A.passion B.feelingC.sense D.stock market8.The purpose of the author is________.A.to teach us a lessonB.to give us some useful suggestionsC.to encourage us to invest in the stock marketD.to tell us common people have negative beliefsⅢ.短文填词A man had to go to court (法院) after he broke the law.He asked his lawyer w________judge would be hearing1.________his case.His lawyer

society where personal happiness is prized above all else,there is little tolerance for falling in despair.Especially now we’ve got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings—whether it’s after losing a job,the breakup of a relationship or the death of a loved one.So it’s n o surprise that more and more people are taking them.But is this really such a good idea?A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isn’t.They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose (行为轻率).Sadness,they argue,serves a useful purpose—and if we lose it,we lose out.Yet many psychiatrists (精神病医生) insist not.Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into depression (抑郁症),they warn.Even when people are sad for good reason,they should take drugs to make themselves feel better.So who is right?Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch?There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life.It may be a selfprotect ion strategy,as other primates (灵长类) als o show signs of sadness.A losing monkey that doesn’t show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey—and that could result in death.In humans,sadness has a further function:we may display sadness as a form of communication.By acting sad,we tell other community members that we need support.Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark mood s.There are plenty of great artists,writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder.Scientists find that people with signs of depression perform better at a creative task,and that negative moods make people think deeply over the unhappy experience,which allows creative processes to come to the front.There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career.A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s.The happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them.1.The underlined word “this” refers to________.A.taking drugs B.falling in despairC.losing a job D.feeling sad2.The author believes sadness is________.A.a good thing for people’s healthB.something horrible never to touchC.a necessary function of humansD.always to be treated as depression3.Some animals show their sadness in order to________.A.cheat their enemy B.protect themselvesC.comfort the loser D.challenge the winner4.We can infer from the last

such a joy in Lisa Beth’s life,the Gerstmans wanted to start a foundation in her name.They wanted to bring that same summer camp joy Lisa Beth felt to other children.When Lisa Beth’s brother,Dan,heard the Cross Island YMCA (CIYMCA) was looking for funds to help send physically disabled children to summer camp,he knew it was the perfect way to keep Lisa Beth’s memory alive.Dan soon learned that many disabled children spent the summer indoors while their ablebodied peers enjoyed camp.The added costs of onetoone care and specialized busing for the disabled children prevented them from being able to join in summer camp.The Gerstman family responded to this need by setting up the Lisa Beth Gerstman Foundation in 2003.Its mission (使命) is to provide children with physical disabilities the opportunity to attend camps in an integrated (综合的) setting.During its first summer,the foundation teamed up with CIYMCA and funded 20 physically disabled kids with varying degrees of disabilities.The children were given the opportunity to experience the joys of summer camp,build lasting friendships and develop their selfconfide nce.Over the last five years,the Lisa Beth Gerstman Foundation has been partnering with camps that are willing to launch (发起) integrated programs that include wheelchair accessible transportation,onetoone swimming instruction,adaptive physical education equipment and training,all in a caring environment where the children join in all regular camp st summer,the foundation partnered with six camps,which allowed a total of 150 physically disabled children to experience summer camp.5.What stopped disabled kids from joining in summer camp according to the passage?A.Some extra costs for it.B.Lack of enough timeC.No permission from parents.D.Lack of selfconfidence.6.What’s the purpose of setting up the Lisa Beth Gerstman Foundation?A.To d evelop children’s confidence.B.To raise money for disabled children.C.To organize summer camp for different people.D.To make it possible for disabled children to attend camps.7.According to the passage,the Lisa Beth Gerstman Foundation ________.A.is in the charge of CIYMCAB.has a history of over 30 yearsC.has gained support from campsD.funded 150 disabled kids during its first summerⅢ.信息匹配A.To be seen and noticed by the leadersB.Learn and use new skillsC.Do what y ou are supposed to doD.Get useful information and adviceE.Look for someone to gu ide youF.Keep it in mind:work hard1.Keep in mind that those who play a lot and hard can loose but those who play smart will always win the day.These tips when employed well will be your tickets to the top.The first thing you need to do is look at your performance.Are you doingwhat you are supposed to be doing?When you know what is expected,you will acquire a momentum that will lead you to the right direction.Otherwise,there is no need of outdoing yourself and others when you are not delivering the right results.2.The other tip that will make you stand out from the rest is hard work.You need to do extra and ask for more.The workload might be overwhelming but promotion only comes to those who are excellent or do thing s that are out of the ordinary or beyond expectation.You must employ extreme dedication to make sure that even as you ask for more,you do not compromise on the quality of work you deliver.3.Another tip for promotion is the workplace is to have a presence.You must be seen at work not just by your colleagues but by leaders in your line of work.Take advantage of every opportunity to interact and know that people on top keep a keen eye looking out for those who stand out.4.Do not be shy to embrace new skills and explore a variety.Promotions only come to those who are aware that this is a dynamic world that smiles on those who are willing to adopt new skills.Devote yourself to do ing things that are considered extra and do not be afraid of this.This will go a long way in making you the person for consideration when it comes to promotions in the workplace.5.Another tip is get information first hand from those who are on top.Talk to those that have been promoted in your organizations and seek advice.Remember,you do not have to learn throught what they say but can learn through their character and how they do their stuff.Action will speak louder than words.However,you need to be aware that you are doing this to make yourself important and not to become another person.Often times,many workers seeking promotion will pretend to be something they are not.Ⅳ.短文改错When I was in high school,most of my friend had bicycles.I hoped I could also have it.One day I saw a secondhand bicycle,that was only one hundred yuan.I asked my father the money.So he said he could only give me half of the money.He should find the other half myself.So I went to sell newspapers after the school.My father was pleasing when I showed him the money a month after.He gives me the other fifty.You can imagine

virtually an epidemic (流行病) of sleepiness in the nation.“I can’t think of a single study that hasn’t found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to,” says Dr David.Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest.The beginning of our sleepdeficit cr isis can be traced back to the invention of the light bulb a century ago.From diary entries and our personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries,sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a nigh t.“The best sleep habits once were forced on us,when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm,and it was dark.” By the 1950s and 1960s,the sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically,to between 7.5 and 8 hours,and most people had to wake to an alarm clock.“People cheat in their sleep,and they don’t even realize they’re doing it,” says Dr David.“They think they’re okay because they can get by on 6.5 hours,when they really need 7.5,8 or even more to feel ideally energetic.”Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep,researches say,is the complexity of the day.Whenever pressures from work,family,friends and community increase,many people consider sleep the least expensive item on their programme.“In our society,you’re considered dynamic if you say you need only 5.5 hours’ sleep.If you’ve got to get 8.5 hours,people think you lack drive and ambition.”To determine the consequences of sleepdeficit,researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them,for instance,to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier.“We’ve found that if you’re in sleepdeficit,performance suffers,” says Dr David.“Shortterm memory is weakened,as are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate.”1.What is the main topic of the passage?A.Research on the causes and consequences of sleepdeficit.B.The epidemic of sleepiness in the modern times.C.The history of people’s sleeping patterns.D.The minimum of our sleeping hours.2.Which of the following is Dr David’s opinion?A.People who think they are sleeping enough are better off than those who don’t.B.Some people can remain energetic with only 6.5 hours’sleep a night.C.If they get 18.5 hours’sleep,people will be full of drive and ambition.D.Peopl e’s metal power suffers if they are lacking in sleep.3.People in the 18th and 19th centuries slept about 9.5 hours a night because________.A.they were forced by their parents to do soB.they knew what was best for their healthC.they had no electricityD.they were not so dynamic and ambitious as modern people are4.The major cause of sleepdeficit of modern people is________.A.the endless TV programmes in the evenings and the InternetB.the pressures of the dayC.the sufficient energy modern people usually haveD.loud noises in modern cities5.What does the word “subjects” in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Persons or things being

The trend to keep a secret bank account is growing because________.A.“escape fund” helps one through rainy d aysB.days are getting harder and harderC.women are money sensitiveD.financial conflicts often occur2.The underlined word “savvy” in Paragraph 1 probably means________.A.suspicious B.secureC.wise D.simple3.Which inference can we make about Margaret?A.She is a unique woman. B.She was once divorced.C.She is going to retire. D.She has many children.4. The author mentions Colleen’s example to show________.A.any couple can avoid marriage conflictsB.privacy within marriage should be respectedC.everyone can save a fortune with a happy marriageD.financial disclosure is not necessarily bad5.

to an academic study,which suggests an “empty nest” is not always a bad thing.Popular wisdom has it that parents’ relationships may suffer once their young fly the coop,because they feel they have lost their purpose in life.However,a new study by researchers at the University of California,Berkeley,has found that many couples actually feel happier when their children leave home because they are able to enjoy spending time together.In total,123 American mothers born in the 1930s were tracked for 18 years and asked to rate their satisfaction levels shortly after marrying,when they were bringing up babies,once their children reached their teenage years and finally at age 61,when almost all had “empty nests”.Although not all said they were happier in general,most claimed their marriages had improved since their children had left home.Researchers believe this is not just because the spouses were spending more time together,but because they were able to enjoy each other’s company more.One of the participants in the study,which is published in the journal Psychological Science,said:“Once the kids grow up...there’s some of that stress removed...that responsibility removed,so things are a little more relaxed.”Psychologist Sara Gorchoff,who carried out the in vestigation,said:“The takehome message for couples with young children is ‘hang in there’.” Her coauthor Oliver John added:“Don’t wait until your kids leave home to schedule quality time with your partner.”However,Dr Dorothy Rowe,from the British Psychological Society,said theeffects of living in an “empty nest” will depend on the parents’ relationship with their children.“If you’re just waiting for them to leave home so you can get on with your life,then of course you’ll be pleased to see them go,” she said,“But if you’ve built your life around your children you’ll be terribly lonely.For some parents,their world falls apart when their children leave.”1.It is commonly believed that________.A.marriages improve after children leave homeB.an “empty nest” is always a happy thingC.parents’ relationships may suffer once their young grow up and move out D.parents will be pleased after their children leave home2.When did many couples feel happier according to the study?A.At age 61,when almost all had “empty nests”.B.Shortly after marrying.C.Once their children reached their teenage years.D.When they were bringing up babies.3.Marriages improve after children fly the coop not because______.A.many couples are able to spend time togetherB.many couples are able to enjoy each other’s companyC.things are a little more relaxedD.many couples needn’t work at all4.The author of the passage tends to agree that________.A.parents should build their life around their kidsB.parents should schedule quality time with each other before kids leave home C.parents’ rel ationship with their kids has no effect on marriages at all D.parents should be pleased to see their kids leave
