The afternoon on December 25 in the waiting room, I was the nurse on duty. When I felt sad about having to 1 on Christmas Day, a woman and four small children showed up at my desk. "Are you all sick ?" I asked. "Yes." the woman said 2 and lowered her head. But when itcame to telling me about their 3 , things got a little surprising. They all seemed to be well and there was nothing 4 with their body. Why did they tell a 5 that they were all sick? I did not say anything but 6 that it might be a little time before a doctor could 7 them . The mother said, "Take your time. We can 8 here. It's so warm." When she finished the register chart, I noticed she didn't write down theiraddress- were they 9 ? I looked at the 10 around the Christmas tree. The children were excited and 11 to be healthy.

I am one of those people who are terrible at saying no. I take on too many projects at once, and spend too much of my time doing things I'd rather not be doing. I get stuff done, but it's not always the best I can do, or the best way I could spend my time. That's why my newest goal, both as a professional and a person, is to be a quitter. Being a quitter isn't being someone who gives up, who doesn't see important things through to the end. I desire to be the opposite of that. The quitter I want to be is someone who gets out when there's no value in what he's doing, or when that value comes at the expense of something more important. We get involved in something, realize we don't want to be a part of it, but keep on going. We say "Well, I've already invested so much time in this, I might as well stick it out." A friend of mine once told me, "I knew I was an adult when I could stop reading a book, even after getting 500 pages into it." Odd though it sounds, we all tend to do this. I propose the opposite: quit as often as possible, regardless of project status or time invested. If you're reading a book, and don't like it, stop reading. Cut your losses, realize that the smartest thing to do is stop before your losses grow even more, and quit. Instead of reading an entire book you hate, read half of a bad one and half of a good one. Isn't that a better use of your time? Step back for a second. Let's learn how to say "no" at the beginning, or in the middle, and free up more of our time to do the things we'd like to be doing, and the things actually worth doing. Saying no is hard, and admitting a mistaken yes is even harder. But if we do both, we'll start to make sure that we're spending our time creating value, rather than increasing our losses. Let's be quitters together. |
1. The author wants to be a quitter, because he/she . |
A. wishes to have more time for relaxation B. hopes to improve his/her personality C. expects to make more efficient use of his/her time D. has found it hard to do several things at one time |
2. In what circumstances does the author suggest quitting is a good idea? |
A. When you know a task cannot be finished. B. When you feel tired and need a rest. C. When you meet with difficulties along the way. D. When you realize what you are doing is not worth the time. |
3. The message the author tries to convey is to . |
A. learn to say noB. create more value C. live your life to the fullest D. stop doing many things at a time |

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference(爱好), and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don't choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(压抑). Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don't forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief. |
1. According to this passage, . |
A. one can choose his color preference B. one is born with his color preference C. one's color preference is changeable D. one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly |
2. The main idea of this passage is . |
A. one's color preference shows one's character B. you can brighten your life with wonderful colors C. psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preference D. one's color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beings |
3. The writer believes that in realizing the four modernizations of country, we need more people who love . |
A. yellow B. red C. green D. black |

It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can't fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain. Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain. Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, and then he operated on them. He made the monkeys' blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys' brains. When the brain's temperature was 10° C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them. |
1. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that . |
A. the time is too short for doctors B. the patients are often too nervous C. the damage is extremely hard to fix D. the blood-cooling machine might break down |
2. The brain operation was made possible mainly by . |
A. taking the blood out of the brain B. trying the operation on monkeys first C. having the blood go through a machine D. lowering the brain's temperature |
3. What is the right order of the steps in the operation? a. send the cooled blood back to the brain b. stop the blood to the brain c. have the blood cooled down d. operate on the brain |
A. a, b, c, d B. c, a, b, d C. c, b, d, a D. b, c, d, a |

Homework is a great way for kids to develop independent, lifelong learning skills, so here are some general homework tips for parents: ● Make sure your child has a quiet, well-lit place to do homework. Avoid having your child do homework with the television on or in places with other distractions, such as people coming and going. ● Make sure the materials your child needs, such as some paper, pencils and a dictionary, are available. Ask your child if special materials will be needed for some projects and get them in advance. ● Help your child with time management. Establish a set time each day for doing homework. Don't let your child leave homework until just before bedtime. Think about using a weekend morning or afternoon for working on big projects, especially if the project involves getting together with classmates. ● Be positive about homework. Tell your child how important school is. The attitude you express about homework will be the attitude your child acquires. ● When your child asks for help, provide guidance, not answers. Giving answers means your child will not learn the material. Too much help teaches your child that when the going gets rough, someone will do the work for him or her. Cooperation with the teacher. It shows your child that the school and home are a team. Follow the directions given by the teacher. ● Reward progress in homework. If your child has been successful in homework completion and is working hard, celebrate that success with a special even (e.g. pizza, a walk, a trip to the park) to reinforce the positive effort | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
