(A)
D yu have bright ideas? Ideas fr inventins that change sciety r, at least, make life easier fr smebdy? Perhaps we all d smetimes but we dn’t ften make the idea cme true. Recently, in Britain, there was a cmpetitin called British Designers fr Tmrrw. The cmpetitin encuraged yung peple t carry ut their bright ideas. There were tw grups in the cntest: Grup One was fr schl children ver 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altgether.
Neil Hunt, ne f the prize-winners, was called “Sunshine Superman”. It’s imprtant when peple study the weather t be able t recrd sunshine. We need t knw hw many hurs f sunshine we have and hw strng it is. Mst sunshine recrds nly recrd direct sunlight. Neil’s is accurate and this is very imprtant fr research int way f using its pwer.
Yu can d s much with animated cartn. Lk at Simn West’s idea fr animated rad signs. He uses pictures which appear t mve as yu g nearer t r farther frm them. This isn’t a new idea. But it is new t use these pictures n rad signs. “We fund that peple were likely t see mving signs,” said Simn. S nw, yu can really see rcks falling, trains mving, hrses running r car falling ver the edge f a cliff. Quite a warning!
The ideas in the cmpetitin were s inventive that we are surprised that British industry desn’t ask mre schl children fr suggestins. Perhaps this will be the start f “pupil pwer”!

①We have a prblem, and the strange thing is that we nt nly knw abut it but als celebrate it. Just tday, smene basted t me that she was s busy she’s averaged fur hurs f sleep a night fr the last tw weeks. She wasn’t cmplaining; she was prud f the fact. She is nt alne.
②Why are typically ratinal (理智的) peple s irratinal in their behavir? The answer is that we’re in the midst f a bubble. I call it “The Mre Bubble.”
③The nature f bubbles is that smething is absurdly vervalued until-eventually-the bubble bursts, and we’re left wndering why we were s irratinally animated in the first place. The thing we’re vervaluing nw is the pinin f ding it all, having it all, achieving it all.
④This bubble is being enabled by a cmbinatin f three pwerful trends: smart phnes, scial media, and extreme cnsumerism. The result is nt just infrmatin verlad, but pinin verlad. We are mre aware than at any time in histry f what everyne else is ding and therefre, what we shuld be ding. In the prcess, we have been sld a bill f gds: that success means being supermen and superwmen wh can get it all dne. Of curse we basted abut being busy—it’s cde fr being successful and imprtant.
⑤And ur answer t the prblem f mre is always mre. We need mre technlgy t help us create mre technlgies. We need t shift ur wrklad t free up ur wn time t d yet even mre.
⑥Luckily, there is a slutin t the pursuit f mre: the pursuit f less, but better. A grwing number f peple are making this change. I call these peple Essentialists.
⑦These peple are designing their lives arund what is essential and remving everything else. These peple arrange t have actual weekends (during which they are nt wrking). They create technlgy-free znes in their hmes. They trade time n Facebk with calling thse few friends wh really matter t them. Instead f running t different meetings, they put space n their calendars t get imprtant wrk dne.
⑧S we have tw chices: we can be amng the last peple caught up in “The Mre Bubble” r we can jin the grwing cmmunity f Essentialists and get mre f what matters in ur ne precius life.
42. When the wman said she nly slept fr fur hurs a night fr tw weeks, she “_________”.
A. tk pride in ding sB. was asking fr suggestins
C. was unsatisfied with her lifestyleD. knew few peple were like her
43. What is Paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The slutins t “The Mre Bubble”.
B. The advantages f “The Mre Bubble”.
C. The cause and result f “The Mre Bubble”.
D. The disadvantages f “The Mre Bubble”.
44. Accrding t the article, Esscntialists are thse wh _________.
A. are tired f infrmatin and pinins
B. prefer nt t rely n technlgy at their hmes
C. give up certain things fr what matters in life
D. are nt interested in becming successful and imprtant
45. What’s the authr’s attitude twards “The Mre Bubble”?

Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
D yu have bright ideas? Ideas fr inventins that change sciety r, at least, make life easier fr smebdy? Perhaps we all d smetimes but we dn’t ften make the idea cme true. Recently, in Britain, there was a cmpetitin called British Designers fr Tmrrw. The cmpetitin encuraged yung peple t carry ut their bright ideas. There were tw grups in the cntest: Grup One was fr schl children ver 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altgether.
Neil Hunt, ne f the prize-winners, was called “Sunshine Superman”. It’s imprtant when peple study the weather t be able t recrd sunshine. We need t knw hw many hurs f sunshine we have and hw strng it is. Mst sunshine recrds nly recrd direct sunlight. Neil’s is accurate and this is very imprtant fr research int way f using its pwer.
Yu can d s much with animated cartn. Lk at Simn West’s idea fr animated rad signs. He uses pictures which appear t mve as yu g nearer t r farther frm them. This isn’t a new idea. But it is new t use these pictures n rad signs. “We fund that peple were likely t see mving signs,” said Simn. S nw, yu can really see rcks falling, trains mving, hrses running r car falling ver the edge f a cliff. Quite a warning!
The ideas in the cmpetitin were s inventive that we are surprised that British industry desn’t ask mre schl children fr suggestins. Perhaps this will be the start f “pupil pwer”!

①We have a prblem, and the strange thing is that we nt nly knw abut it but als celebrate it. Just tday, smene basted t me that she was s busy she’s averaged fur hurs f sleep a night fr the last tw weeks. She wasn’t cmplaining; she was prud f the fact. She is nt alne.
②Why are typically ratinal (理智的) peple s irratinal in their behavir? The answer is that we’re in the midst f a bubble. I call it “The Mre Bubble.”
③The nature f bubbles is that smething is absurdly vervalued until-eventually-the bubble bursts, and we’re left wndering why we were s irratinally animated in the first place. The thing we’re vervaluing nw is the pinin f ding it all, having it all, achieving it all.
④This bubble is being enabled by a cmbinatin f three pwerful trends: smart phnes, scial media, and extreme cnsumerism. The result is nt just infrmatin verlad, but pinin verlad. We are mre aware than at any time in histry f what everyne else is ding and therefre, what we shuld be ding. In the prcess, we have been sld a bill f gds: that success means being supermen and superwmen wh can get it all dne. Of curse we basted abut being busy—it’s cde fr being successful and imprtant.
⑤And ur answer t the prblem f mre is always mre. We need mre technlgy t help us create mre technlgies. We need t shift ur wrklad t free up ur wn time t d yet even mre.
⑥Luckily, there is a slutin t the pursuit f mre: the pursuit f less, but better. A grwing number f peple are making this change. I call these peple Essentialists.
⑦These peple are designing their lives arund what is essential and remving everything else. These peple arrange t have actual weekends (during which they are nt wrking). They create technlgy-free znes in their hmes. They trade time n Facebk with calling thse few friends wh really matter t them. Instead f running t different meetings, they put space n their calendars t get imprtant wrk dne.
⑧S we have tw chices: we can be amng the last peple caught up in “The Mre Bubble” r we can jin the grwing cmmunity f Essentialists and get mre f what matters in ur ne precius life.
42. When the wman said she nly slept fr fur hurs a night fr tw weeks, she “_________”.
