第二篇Excessive Demands on Young People
Being able to multitask is-hailed by most people as a welcome skill, but not according to a recent study which claims that young people between the ages of eight and eighteen of the so-called Generation M are spending a considerable amount of their time in fruitless efforts as they multitask. It argues that, in fact, these young people are frittering(浪费) away as much as half of their time as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after the other.
Some young people are using an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. At the same time they are working, young adults are also surfing on the Internet, or sending out emails to their friends, and/or answering the telephone and listening to music on their iPods or on another computer. As some new device comes along, it is also added to the list rather than replacing one of the existing devices. Other research has indicated that this multitasking is even affecting the way families themselves function as young people are too wrapped up in(沅湎于) their own isolated worlds to interact with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house nor can they eat at the family table.
All this electronic wizardry(魔力) is supposedly also seriously affecting young people's performance at universit3t and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the impact of modern gadgets (小装置) on their.performance of tasks, the great majority of young people gave a favourable response.
The response from the academic and business worlds was not quite as positive. The former feel that multitasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later development of study skills, resulting in a decline in the quality of writing, for example, because of the lack of concentration on task completion. They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedial (补救的) help with study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the workforce need to be taught all over again, as they have become deskilled.
While all this may be true, it must be borne in mind that more and more is expected of young people nowadays; in fact, too much. Praise rather than criticism is due in respect of the way today's youth are able to cope despite what the older generation throw at them.
36. What is probably true about the multitasking Generation M?
A. They feelthey are more effIcient than others.
B. They waste more time than they should spend.
C. They put more energy on important tasks.
D. They need to improve their analytical skills.
37. With the introduction of new gadgets, what happens to the Generation M's present e-devices?
A.They give way to the latest..
B.They are quickly put aside.
C.They are sold to their friends.
D.They become part of their collection.
38.Multitasking rriakes the Generation M
A. feellonely add pitiful.
B. selfish and aggressive.
C. distant to their family.
D. silent and sad."
39.The academics feel that many undergraduates badly need to
A. adjust their social attitudes.
B. seekpsychologicalassistance.
C. improve their study skills.
D. take more business,courses.
40. What attitude should the older generation adopt towards the multitasking youth?
A. Critical.
B. Thankful.
C. Negative.
D. Supportive.
第三篇Three Ways to Become More Creative
Most people believe they don't have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it.Creativity isn't always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.
This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles: light, fire, matches, wax: night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.
Imagine that normallimitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for_example, your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice.skiing every day
in December, or every Monday in January.
Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators(谈判者) use this technique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can't she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself "in their shoes". The best, fishermen think like fish!
41, According to the passage, when we become adults
A. we can stilllearn to be more creative.
B. most of us are no longer creative.
C. we are not as imaginative as children.
D. we are unwilling to be creative.' ."
42. According to the first technique, if you need to solve a problem
A. you could find an image and try to link it with the problem.
B. you should link it with candles.
C. you have to think of buying a present for a friend.
D. you should link it with as many words as possible.
43. The second technique suggests that you just imagine
A. setting a goal is as simple as skiing.
B. you have ever3r resource to achieve your goal.
C. new possibilities will soon appear.
D. December and January are the best months for skiing.
44. The phrase "put yourself :in their shoes' in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
A. dress yourselflike them.
B. do as they ask you to.
C. think as they would.
D. put on their shoes,
45. We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself:
A. what do I usually do?
B. what did my boss tell me to do?
C. what are my customers' needs?
D. how should I sell my products?
