Taking a shwer is relaxing. Yu can hum a sng, daydream r think abut nthing, leaving the real wrld behind yu. But did yu knw that shwering can als benefit yur mind?
A research by Sctt Barry Kaufinan, a psychlgist frm Yale University in the US interviewed ver 3,000 peple arund the wrld. It turned ut that nearly tw-thirds f the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shwer and were mre likely t have them in the shwer than at wrk.
S why des a simple shwer have such magic pwer? Science can explain it
Shwering can help t raise ur level f dpamine, a hrmne clsely related t ur creativity. “Peple vary in terms f their level f creativity accrding t the activity f dpamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famus American neurscientist. “Taking a warm shwer can make us feel relaxed and therefre make the dpamine level rise and bring 'Aha! mment t us.”
Besides the chemical changes, shwering may give yu a break frm what yu feel yu have been stuck with. Especially when yu have thught hard all day abut a prblem, jumping int the shwer can keep yu frm the utside wrld s that yu can fcus n yur inner feelings and memries. In this way, accrding t American psychlgist Shelley H. Carsn. authr f Yur Creative Brain. “A shwering hur may turn int an ‘incubatin perid’ fr yur ideas.”
Cmpared with sitting in frnt f a cmputer, taking a shwer is smething we d less frequently in ur daily life. When shwering, we get a fresh experience with the change f lcatin, temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected experiences can lead t psitive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting ff the cuch and jumping in the shwer may create a distance and frce yu t think frm a new pint f view.”
Shwering allws us t enjy the creative juices f ur minds, but it needn't just be the bathrm where yu get yur inspiratin. Fr instance. Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and pet, gt new ideas by driving arund a farm and stpping at different cws until she fund the ne that mst inspired her. S try t create yur wn way t free yur mind, whether it's a walk near the cean, a cuntry drive r reading a bk at hme.

Carls Slim’s prpsal that we wrk a three - day week sunds crazy. But many, in 1922, thught Henry Frd crazy when he annunced that his staff wuld wrk a five-day week.
Our wrking week seems nrmal t us because it is what we all always d. He certainly culd be fr thse he was mst cncerned abut when he made his three - day - week statement at a business cnference in Paraguay: the wrkers wh are nt ready t retire. As Mr. Slim said, it n lnger makes sense fr peple t stp wrking in their fifties r sixties when they may still have up t a third f their lives ahead f them. “Peple are ging t have t wrk fr mre years, until they are 70 r 75, and just wrk three days a week - perhaps 11 hurs a day.” he said.
Keeping lder emplyees at wrk makes sense fr scieties, especially thse with a diminishing number f yung peple wh are expected t supprt lng - living retirees.
He appeared t be suggesting that these shrt - week wrkers earn the same as they did full - time. That is what happens at Telmex, his Mexican fixed - line phne cmpany, where thse qualified fr retirement can chse t wrk fur - day weeks n full pay.
Older wrkers elsewhere might prefer shrter weeks n reduced pay - and eight r nine - hur days rather than 11. Their cmpanies might value keeping their experience while saving mney n their salaries. What abut everyne else? There are thse wh are unemplyed, r in unstable jbs, wh wuld be delighted t have three secure, well - paid days f wrk a week.
Shrter weeks dn’t wrk in every jb, but they wrk in mre jbs than mst traditin - bund managers think. Agreeing t them requires tw shifts in management thinking. The first is the realizatin that much f the time spent in ffices is wasted anyway. Secnd, senir executives need t understand that the best way t measure peple is by the wrk they prduce - nt by hw much time they spend at their desks.
Peple living lnger, in better health, are changing wrking life t. Mr. Slim’s idea is in tune with the times.
12．Accrding t paragraph 2 why did Mr. Slim think it unwise fr peple in their fifties r sixties t retire ?
A. Because they have lnger life t live in their future.
B. Because they have children and ld parents t supprt
C. Because they have much interest in their present wrk.
D. Because they have mre experience than yung wrkers.
13．What can we infer frm the passage?
A. The decisin f wrking five days a week by Frd was cnsidered nrmal in the past.
B. Old peple cntinuing wrking can reduce yung peple’s pressure t supprt their ld parents
C. Sme cmpanies dn’t want their ld wrkers t g n wrking because they can save mney.
D. Much time spent at wrk is wasted if managers dn’t agree t reduce ld emplyees’ wrking time.
14．What des the underlined phrase “in tune with” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Different frm.B. Superir t.C. Far frm.D. Cnsistent with.
15．What is the best title fr this passage ?
A. Retire Or Nt, This Is A Questin!
B. Shrter Weeks Is Welcme By All

二、七选五

Shw Frmality With A Prnun
There are plenty f ways t shw respect in English, but what English is missing is the frmal “yu”. But English has a single, widely accepted secnd-persn prnun. This is als why English desn’t have a standard frm fr addressing mre than ne persn.
②______. Back in the days f Old English, the wrd “thu” was the singular yu and “ye” was the plural yu. By the 13th century, these tw had shifted, s “thu” was the infrmal yu and “ye” was the frmal ne.

Hw many vwels (元音) des English have? Well, if yu lk at the alphabet, it has nly five: A, E, I, O and U. Six if yu thrw in Y. But if yu actually listen t English, there are a lt mre.

When yu thrw in different dialects and clusters (群组) like “trugh, thugh, tugh”, yu can see hw tricky a language this really is. ④______.
Yu culd say, then, that there’s nthing n this list English “can’t” d. We prbably wn’t wake up tmrrw and suddenly have a cmpletely different wrd rder, but the Englishes spken 10, 50 and 100 years frm nw will all differ frm the nes we speak tday. ⑤______.

F. When yu nly knw English, yu’re getting a limited lk at what language as a whle can d
G. This differs a lt frm a language like Spanish, which fr the mst part has nly ne sund per letter

“Next Friday we’ll have the annual Egg Drp Challenge. The challenge is simple — yu have t build a prtective cntainer t keep an egg frm breaking when drpped ver the stadium wall.” said Mr. Beal.
Cassie and I grinned at each ther. Always wrking n prjects tgether, we’re perfect cmbinatin. She’s brainy while I am creative.
While waiting fr Cassie t cme ver and wrk n the cntainer, I made my favrite sandwich with the fluffy marshmallw (棉花糖) cream. That gave me an idea: We can put sme marshmallw cream under the egg as a cushin.
I later tld Cassie abut it. But Cassie wasn’t interested. “I gt a better idea. We put the egg in a basket with a parachute attached.” She said.
“It will never wrk.” I said.
“And Marshmallw cream will?” Cassie rlled her eyes. “The parachute is better than that stupid idea.”
I culdn’t believe it. She never called my idea “stupid” befre. “Then I will build mine and yu build yurs, and we’ll just see whse is better.”
“Fine!” Cassie strmed ut. And just like that, ur friendship was smashed, like an egg drpped frm the tp f a stadium withut marshmallw cream t prtect it.
When Friday arrived, I saw Cassie’s Egg Frce One. She had a handkerchief t create a small parachute. It was tied t a basket and, in the center f it, her egg.
My Egg-cellent Egg Cream didn’t lk quite scientific. I used a layer f marshmallw cream and a layer f jelly (果冻) t supprt the egg.
The cmpetitin started. Everyne in my class carried their egg cntainers up three stadium steps and drpped them ver the side wall. If yur egg brke, yu were ut. If the egg survived, yu had t walk up three mre steps and drp it again. This went n until the last egg brke.
By the furth launch, nly Cassie and I were left.

②根据下文“Back in the days f Old English, the wrd “thu” was the singular yu and “ye” was the plural yu. By the 13th century, these tw had shifted, s “thu” was the infrmal yu and “ye” was the frmal ne. But ver the past several centuries, the prnuns shifted again: “ye” became “yu” and replaced bth f them.”(在古英语时代，“thu”是单数的“yu”，“ye”是复数的“yu”。到了13世纪，这两个词已经发生了变化，所以“thu”是非正式的yu，“ye”是正式的yu。但是在过去的几个世纪里，代词又发生了变化：“ye”变成了“yu”，并取代了它们。)可知，这里在谈英语在过去的时代，曾经拥有过表达尊重的正式的第二人称表达，但是在时代的变更中最后都被“yu”取代了。选项C“然而，奇怪的事情之一是，英语过去两者都有。”和下文意思一致。故选C。
③根据下文“Hw many vwels (元音) des English have? Well, if yu lk at the alphabet, it has nly five: A, E, I, O and U. Six if yu thrw in Y. But if yu actually listen t English, there are a lt mre. English tries its best t reflect this in its writing system”(英语有几个元音？好吧，如果你看字母表，它只有5：A，E，I，O和 U，如果加上Y，就是6个。但如果你真的听英语，还有很多。英语在其书写体系中尽力反映这一点)可知，英语中以书面形式来体现所有的元音。选项A“用书面形式代表所有元音。”和下文意思一致。故选A。
④根据上文“But if yu actually listen t English, there are a lt mre. English tries its best t reflect this in its writing system, but the fact f the matter is that peple learning English thrugh reading are ging t struggle t figure ut what vwels sund like.”(但如果你真的听英语，还有很多。英语尽力在其书写系统中反映这一点，但事实上，通过阅读学习英语的人们将很难弄清楚元音听起来是什么样的。)可知，本空前面谈到：英语中的元音在书面表达和发音中的不同。则接下来应该举例不同的语言和英语的比较。选项G“这与西班牙语有很大不同，西班牙语大多数情况下每个字母只有一个发音。”和上文意思一致。故选G。
⑤根据上文“Yu culd say, then, that there’s nthing n this list English “can’t” d. We prbably wn’t wake up tmrrw and suddenly have a cmpletely different wrd rder, but the Englishes spken 10,50 and 100 years frm nw will all differ frm the nes we speak tday.”(那么，你可以说，在这个清单上没有什么是英语“不能”做的。我们可能不会在明天一觉醒来，突然有一个完全不同的语序，但是10年、50年和100年后所说的英语都将与我们今天所说的不同。)可知，接下来要提到英语在以后的发展。选项E“英语需要不断前进才能生存下去，想想它可以走向何方是件令人兴奋的事。”和上文意思一致。故选E。

Carls Slim’s prpsal that we wrk a three - day week sunds crazy. But many, in 1922, thught Henry Frd crazy when he annunced that his staff wuld wrk a five-day week.
Our wrking week seems nrmal t us because it is what we all always d. He certainly culd be fr thse he was mst cncerned abut when he made his three - day - week statement at a business cnference in Paraguay: the wrkers wh are nt ready t retire. As Mr. Slim said, it n lnger makes sense fr peple t stp wrking in their fifties r sixties when they may still have up t a third f their lives ahead f them. “Peple are ging t have t wrk fr mre years, until they are 70 r 75, and just wrk three days a week - perhaps 11 hurs a day.” he said.
Keeping lder emplyees at wrk makes sense fr scieties, especially thse with a diminishing number f yung peple wh are expected t supprt lng - living retirees.
He appeared t be suggesting that these shrt - week wrkers earn the same as they did full - time. That is what happens at Telmex, his Mexican fixed - line phne cmpany, where thse qualified fr retirement can chse t wrk fur - day weeks n full pay.
Older wrkers elsewhere might prefer shrter weeks n reduced pay - and eight r nine - hur days rather than 11. Their cmpanies might value keeping their experience while saving mney n their salaries. What abut everyne else? There are thse wh are unemplyed, r in unstable jbs, wh wuld be delighted t have three secure, well - paid days f wrk a week.
Shrter weeks dn’t wrk in every jb, but they wrk in mre jbs than mst traditin - bund managers think. Agreeing t them requires tw shifts in management thinking. The first is the realizatin that much f the time spent in ffices is wasted anyway. Secnd, senir executives need t understand that the best way t measure peple is by the wrk they prduce - nt by hw much time they spend at their desks.
Peple living lnger, in better health, are changing wrking life t. Mr. Slim’s idea is in tune with the times.
12．Accrding t paragraph 2 why did Mr. Slim think it unwise fr peple in their fifties r sixties t retire ?
A. Because they have lnger life t live in their future.
B. Because they have children and ld parents t supprt
C. Because they have much interest in their present wrk.
D. Because they have mre experience than yung wrkers.
13．What can we infer frm the passage?
A. The decisin f wrking five days a week by Frd was cnsidered nrmal in the past.
B. Old peple cntinuing wrking can reduce yung peple’s pressure t supprt their ld parents
C. Sme cmpanies dn’t want their ld wrkers t g n wrking because they can save mney.
D. Much time spent at wrk is wasted if managers dn’t agree t reduce ld emplyees’ wrking time.

“Next Friday we’ll have the annual Egg Drp Challenge. The challenge is simple — yu have t build a prtective cntainer t keep an egg frm breaking when drpped ver the stadium wall.” said Mr. Beal.
Cassie and I grinned at each ther. Always wrking n prjects tgether, we’re perfect cmbinatin. She’s brainy while I am creative.
While waiting fr Cassie t cme ver and wrk n the cntainer, I made my favrite sandwich with the fluffy marshmallw (棉花糖) cream. That gave me an idea: We can put sme marshmallw cream under the egg as a cushin.
I later tld Cassie abut it. But Cassie wasn’t interested. “I gt a better idea. We put the egg in a basket with a parachute attached.” She said.
“It will never wrk.” I said.
“And Marshmallw cream will?” Cassie rlled her eyes. “The parachute is better than that stupid idea.”
I culdn’t believe it. She never called my idea “stupid” befre. “Then I will build mine and yu build yurs, and we’ll just see whse is better.”
“Fine!” Cassie strmed ut. And just like that, ur friendship was smashed, like an egg drpped frm the tp f a stadium withut marshmallw cream t prtect it.
When Friday arrived, I saw Cassie’s Egg Frce One. She had a handkerchief t create a small parachute. It was tied t a basket and, in the center f it, her egg.
My Egg-cellent Egg Cream didn’t lk quite scientific. I used a layer f marshmallw cream and a layer f jelly (果冻) t supprt the egg.
The cmpetitin started. Everyne in my class carried their egg cntainers up three stadium steps and drpped them ver the side wall. If yur egg brke, yu were ut. If the egg survived, yu had t walk up three mre steps and drp it again. This went n until the last egg brke.
By the furth launch, nly Cassie and I were left.

English tries its best t reflect this in its writing system, but the fact f the matter is that peple learning English thrugh reading are ging t struggle t figure ut what vwels sund like.”(但如果你真的听英语，还有很多。英语尽力在其书写系统中反映这一点，但事实上，通过阅读学习英语的人们将很难弄清楚元音听起来是什么样的。)可知，本空前面谈到：英语中的元音在书面表达和发音中的不同。则接下来应该举例不同的语言和英语的比较。选项G“这与西班牙语有很大不同，西班牙语大多数情况下每个字母只有一个发音。”和上文意思一致。故选G。
⑤根据上文“Yu culd say, then, that there’s nthing n this list English “can’t” d. We prbably wn’t wake up tmrrw and suddenly have a cmpletely different wrd rder, but the Englishes spken 10,50 and 100 years frm nw will all differ frm the nes we speak tday.”(那么，你可以说，在这个清单上没有什么是英语“不能”做的。我们可能不会在明天一觉醒来，突然有一个完全不同的语序，但是10年、50年和100年后所说的英语都将与我们今天所说的不同。)可知，接下来要提到英语在以后的发展。选项E“英语需要不断前进才能生存下去，想想它可以走向何方是件令人兴奋的事。”和上文意思一致。故选E。
