Music icon Bob Dylan will not attend the Nobel ceremony in December because he has "other commitments," the Swedish Academy said on Wednesday.
"The Swedish Academy received a personal letter from Bob Dylan yesterday where he explained that he could not make himself available in December...," it said in a statement.
"He wishes that he could accept the award personally, but other commitments make it unfortunately impossible. He underlined that he feels incredibly honored by the Nobel prize," it added. The Swedish Academy said it respected Dylan’s decision, but that it was "unusual" for a Nobel laureate not to come to Stockholm to accept the award in person. Nobel laureates are honored every year on December 10--the death anniversary of the prize’s founder Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist, inventor and philanthropist.
Several other literature prize winners have skipped the Nobel ceremony in the past for various reasons--British writer Doris Lessing on grounds of ill health, British playwright Harold Pinter because he was hospitalized and Austrian playwright and novelist Elfriede Jelinek due to social phobia.
"We look forward to Bob Dylan’s Nobel lecture, which he m ust carry out--it is the only requirement--within six months starting from December 10, 2016," the academy said.
24. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph two refer to?
A. receiving a personal letter
B. expressing himself in a statement
C. feeling horned by the award
D. accepting the award personally
25. What is the Swedish Academy’s attitude towards Bob Dylan’s decision?
A. supportive
B. opposite
C. tolerant
D. indifferent
26. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Nobel Prize goes to Music icon Bob Dylan.
B. Bob Dylan is not to attend the Nobel Ceremony.
C. A Great Anniversary Event--the Nobel Ceremony
D. Bob Dylan--a Music Icon Who Won the Noble Prize
27. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. Elfriede skipped the Nobel ceremony because of physical illness.
B. The Nobel ceremony is in memory of the birth of the Prize’s founder.
C. Bob Dylan informed the Swedish Academy of his absence through telephone.
D. According to the Swedish Academy, the deadline of Dylan’s lecture is June 10, 2017.

Y ou have just won five million yuan in a lottery(彩票) --how would you spend it? Before you know it, ten minutes had gone on daydreaming. There is a time and a place for daydreaming, but we don’t have much control over that. Isn’t it worrying that an estimated 30 to 50 percent of our waking time is spent d aydreaming? What if your dentist is having that lottery daydream while removing your rotten tooth?
Some studies suggest daydreaming makes us unhappy because we are not focusing on what is around us but are instead thinking about the past or future. However, a recent study published in the journal Neuropsychologica finds that mind-wandering can be of benefit to us. The researchers measured the brain patterns of more than 100 people using an MRI(核磁共振成像) scanner. This data was compared with tests on creative ability and a questionnaire on how much their minds usually wandered. Those whose minds wandered the most scored higher in creative ability tests and had more efficient brain systems measured in the MRI machine.
Being efficient at mind-wandering means you can zone out and then naturally tune back in without missing any important point or step. Christine Godwin, the lead author of the latest study from the Georgia Institute of Technology, says that if you are focusing on difficult tasks, your performance will drop if your mind wanders. “But when tasks are easy, people who have high cognitive ability can let their minds wander because it does not affect their performance. Y ou may be thinking about upcoming goals or problem-solving. These are some of the positive sides to mind-wandering.”
Mind-wandering can vary between being more practical or more emotional. What mind-wandering seems to be best at, researchers say, is coming up with new solutions to old problems. So, it’s not always a waste of time!
28. The first paragraph serves as a(n) .
A. explanation
B. introduction
C. comment
D. background
29. The study published in Neuropsychologica shows that .
A. daydreaming makes us unhappy
B. we are focusing on the past or future
C. mind-wandering is related to creative ability
D. MRI scanner is helpful in measuring the brain patterns
30. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Get distracted.
B. Focus on.
C. Be affected.
D. Have control.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Mind-wandering might be dangerous.
B. Daydreaming might bring benefits.
C. Mind-wandering is not a waste of time.
D. Daydreaming is hard to be controlled.
D
If you are in a dilemma about being self-taught or getting formal education, you have come to the right webpage. In this article, we note the advantages of each of these to help you decide which one would be the best for you.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of being self-taught is that you are able to save a lot of money. With each passing year, the cost of getting a degree is on the rise. As a result, many students these days tend to graduate from college with a significant amount of debt. This makes it necessary for them to get a job as soon as possible, otherwise a number of serious issues may arise. Besides, it is possible to learn faster on your own, by focusing on only those areas that you are interested in. Finally, learning on your own can be a great confidence builder. Y ou have to struggle to gain knowledge but once you clear the basics on your own, you will find yourself being much more confident about your abilities.
One of the biggest advantages of formal education is that you get a degree which is a mark of recognition that you have achieved a level of knowledge in that particular field. Many companies tend to prefer candidates who have a college degree. What’s more, though formal education lacks the convenience and flexibility of self-education, it offers you much more in terms of the actual structure of the learning process. Last, being formally educated means that you will enter a college or other similar educational institutions. There you will get the benefit of being taught and guided by learned teachers and other subject experts. This will be a big benefit as you will be able to take advantage of their experience and gain in-depth knowledge about the subject.
Thus, both formal education and self-education have their own sets of advantages. The choice between the two comes down to individual preferences as well as personal situations.
32. Which of the following is an advantage of self-education?
A. A faster pace of learning
B. Being guided by subject experts
C. A wider range of ways to gain knowledge
D. Having more chances of getting part-time jobs.
33. To get the benefit of being taught by learned experts, you should .
A. choose self-education
B. enter an educational institution
C. work for learned teachers
D. make use of webpages about education
34. What is the most important factor in choosing the way of education?
A. The reputation of educational institutions.
B. The knowledge of teachers and experts.
C. The opinions of relatives and friends.
D. One’s preference and situations
35. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text?
A. To promote a webpage about education.
B. To prove that self-education is the best choice.
C. To help readers choose between two forms of education.
D. To prove that it’s difficult to decide on the proper education.

One possible version:
Dear Tom,
I have suffered from such inappropriate public behaviors before. I’m so sorry that shouting ,spitting or littering still exist in public places.
In my opinion, these behaviors have a terrible influence on society. On the one hand, they have a negative impact on our sense of social responsibility, which may lead to our ignoring other people’s rights and feelings, and in turn, we will be disrespected someday. On the other hand, such behaviors may directly pollute the environment .
It is time that measures should be taken to improve this situation. Most importantly, our government should emphasize bad effect of the behaviors. Our school as well as parents should also teach and enforce acceptable standards for all kids.
Y ours,。
