24、
Are you tired of making so many decisions every day? People may be faced with up to 35,000 choices and a huge number of options (可选择的事物) per day. When tired of decision making, people may depend on fate (命运)—roll a dice or simply flip a coin.
Shall we make choices at random ( 随 机 )? I came to think about the benefits of random decision making when watching a TV show last night. Its main character Sheldon used the dice to randomly order food and drinks in a restaurant. He did this to free up his mind to consider some more important problems. However, his friends question the method’s success. Indeed, this random restaurant order including a large drink was too much for him. Sheldon finally realized that the random result could be improved by reducing options to leave out large drinks. This example suggests that random decision making may not always work well and it’s necessary to reduce the options before rolling a dice in some situations.
In some unimportant decision situations, randomisers make it easier to decide. But how do dice work in more important decision situations? It’s hard to accept the idea of completely depending on a dice. However, this doesn’t mean that dice or coins can’t be of any help at all.
Let me borrow another example from Sheldon. He couldn’t make up his mind when choosing a new TV set from two. His friend Amy asked him to flip a coin. Rather than blindly following the result, however, she suggested checking his emotional reaction. Did he experience happiness or disappointment when faced with the coin’s result? Sheldon’s reaction could be useful to find out which one he truly preferred.
Recently, scientists studied this decision method and found that flipping a coin led people to imagine the two different results more clearly, which resulted in a stronger emotional reaction, and then they recognised hidden preferences and made decisions more easily.
A related study further proved that randomisers simplify the choice process. When using dice, people were less likely to look for additional but unnecessary information about the different options. This helped to speed up their choices.
Taken together, recent research shows surprising benefits of flipping coins and rolling dice as long as people don’t let the results control their choices. Using them but keeping the freedom to be different from the results can speed up the decision process and help solve decision problems.
【1】The first example of Sheldon shows that random decision making .
A.is always effective
B.helps make a good order
C.may work better with fewer options
D.can offer more solutions to important problems
【2】The writer probably agrees that .
A.people should not roll dice or flip coins in important situations
B.people will make better choices when experiencing happiness
C.dice can speed up decision process with unnecessary information
D.reaction to the result of the randomiser may show one’s true preference
【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Follow Your Heart or Your Head?
B.Should You Let the Dice Decide?
C.Listen to Friends, or Roll a Dice ?
D.How Do You Make a Wise Decision?
25、One day, a teacher was speaking to a group of students about how to best use their time. He gave an example his students would never forget.
He pulled out a big bottle (瓶子) and put it on the table. He also took out some rocks and carefully put them into the bottle, one rock at a time. When no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this bottle full?”
Everyone in the class shouted, “Yes.” The teacher replied, “Really?” He pulled out of some very small rocks and poured the small rocks in before he shook (摇晃) the bottle. The small rocks went down into the spaces among the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, “Is this bottle full?”
“Probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!” he replied. He brought out a bucket of sand and poured the sand in the bottle and it went into all of the spaces left among the rocks. Once more, he asked the question, “Is this bottle full?”
“No!” the class shouted. Once again he said, “Good.” Then he poured a cup of water in until the bottle was full. Then he asked, “What is the idea here?” One student put up his hand and said, “The idea is, no matter how busy your life is, you can always do more things if you try really hard!”
“No,” the teacher replied, “that’s not the idea. The idea is if you don’t put the big rocks at first, you’ll never get them in at all. What are the big rocks in your life? Family, friends, your education, or your dreams. Remember to put these big rocks at first or you’ll never get them in at all.”
【1】Why did the teacher do the experiment?

An Experiment (实验) Report on Growing Potato Plants |
Things prepared *A potato that has sprouts (芽) *A flower pot (盆) with soil *A camera to record progress Observation (观察) Day 1 The color of the soil looks darker because I have just watered it. In the center of the pot, I can see a tiny sprout that has grown from the potato under the soil. I’ll call it Buddy. Buddy is green and yellow. I wonder how fast it will grow. Day 6 Without much change in the past six days, I finally see some new progress on Buddy as it has grown taller. It’s exciting to see new life like this. I hope Buddy can grow faster. Day 11 Buddy is getting larger! Three more new sprouts have grown around Buddy! I can see some green leaves grow on the new sprouts, but they have not fully grown yet. I guess I need to be a bit more patient. Day 15 Finally, the leaves on the other sprouts are 3 cm tall. They’re so green. I hope new potatoes under the soil will soon grow. |

27、Many of us feel uneasy when someone stands too close to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eye contact (接触) with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable?
It’s all about personal space, which means not only an imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated (侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume (香水) makes you feel angry.
Whether people have had a stronger wish to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire (渴望) to have space to themselves. In a survey by TripAdvisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.
Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.
Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first, because they are the farthest away. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.
Preferences (偏好) for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin (拉丁人的) cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.
【1】The writer mainly __________ in this article.
A. tells us how to achieve personal space
B. explains why people need personal space
C. introduces some knowledge about personal space
D. argues for the importance of keeping personal space
【2】 What can we know from the survey by TripAdvisor?
A. People need a smaller personal space in recent times than before.
B. People have a strong desire for personal space in recent times.
C. There are not enough seats on the plane to meet people’s needs.
D. Food service is better provided than seats on the plane.
【3】 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The space around the body is more needed than that around all the senses.
B. If you hold newspapers on the bus, your personal space won’t be violated.
C. People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space.
D. Different cultures share the same preferences for personal space.
28、You’re standing with yours classmates. Everyone is talking except you. Perhaps you’re afraid they will laugh at when you say. Maybe you just aren’t .____________ (brave) enough to speak. When I was in high school, I was so shy that I wouldn't talk to anyone. If a s________ asked me the way to a local shop, it was as if I'd forgotten how to talk. One summer, I got a job in a restaurant and that helped a lot.
You may be ________ young to find a part-time job. But you can look for other c_______ to speak with people. You can offer to help an old woman carry her heavy bag. Or you can go to get a newspaper for your family. If you do these things for a while, the s_______(shy) will soon begin to leave you alone.
