I was brn and raised n the Gld Cast by a single parent, my incredible mther, Christine. Mum always placed a lt f emphasis n higher educatin and I was educated frm a yung age t enter university.

Parkinsn’s law states: “Wrk expands s as t fill the time available fr its cmpletin.” In ther wrds, things becme harder t cmplete when mre time is given t cmplete them as the build-up t the task becmes stressful and frightening.
Parkinsn’s law is nt a scientific principle. Instead, it is simply an bservatin f a phenmenn many peple including scientists have experienced rather than dug int. As first described by CyrilNrthcte Parkinsn in a 1955 humr essay published in The Ecnmist, it can explain the expansin f rganizatins. Hwever, it can als be a helpful way t think abut ther types f wrk, including persnal prductivity.
The cmplexity f a task tends t grw when mre time is distributed fr its cmpletin. When yu find yurself finishing the task, yu might feel a sense f relief but als wnder why the prject became s much mre f a burden in yur mind than it was in real life. The “extra time” that the task requires ften isn’t related t the task itself — it’s mental stress caused by wrrying abut getting it dne.
In Parkinsn’s riginal example, a wman’s task fr the day was just t mail a pstcard. As a result f having the entire day t cmplete the simple task, the amunt f wrk and time required expanded t fill the whle day. The fictinal wman spent a half-hur searching fr her reading glasses. Writing the pstcard tk anther tw hurs. Mre time was spent finding a stamp, writing the address, and walking the pstcard t the pst ffice.
One reasn why this phenmenn happens lies in hw peple tend t apprach tasks. Research indicates that when peple start a new prject, they tend t fcus n hw much time they have available t d it instead f hw much time the task wuld take t cmplete. While Parkinsn’s law is a phenmenn that can lead t wasted time and inefficient wrk, it desn’t have t be a prblem if yu’re aware f it.
8. Why des Parkinsn’s law fail t be a scientific principle?
A. It lacks prfund research.B. It serves certain enterprises.
C. It has shallw implicatins.D. It aims t uncver an issue.
9. What des paragraph 3 mainly discuss abut Parkinsn’s law?
A Its present situatin.B. Its underlying lgic.
C. Its mental influence.D. Its unnticed wrth.
10. What des Parkinsn’s riginal example imply?
A. Lking fr glasses didn’t matter.B. Mailing a pstcard tk tw hurs.
C. Categrizing tasks cnsumed time.D. Task expands t fill available time.
11. What might be discussed in the fllw-up text?
A. Views n deadline setting.B. Mdes f task assignment.
C. Difficulties in high utputs.D. Tips fr time management.

Regardless f hw famus they are, and despite the star treatment they receive, many celebrities make it a pint t give back t charities. Sme have even set up their wn private fundatins. Their widely publicised visits t trubled areas f the wrld help t raise awareness f issues such as famine and pverty. Accrding t Jane Cper f Unicef UK, celebrities have a unique ability t reach huge numbers f peple, many f whm might nt therwise be engaged in charitable causes. She pinted ut that famus faces had played a significant rle in raising funds in recent years, and their energies had prduced tangible results, such as enabling millins f children in prer cuntries t attend schl.
But in spite f these successes, there is evidence t suggest that celebrity endrsement (代言) may be verrated. In a survey f members f the public t find ut if celebrity invlvement wuld encurage peple t dnate, researchers fund that the impact was nt as great as previusly thught. When shwn a list f well-knwn rganisatins and famus peple wh represent them, ver half f respndents were unable t match the celebrity with the cause. What’s mre, three quarters claimed that they didn’t respnd t celebrity endrsement in any way. The survey als shwed that a few names did stand ut as being assciated with particular charities. But the presence f a celebrity in a campaign, was nt a significant factr when it came t a decisin t dnate time r mney. Instead, the majrity f peple cntribute because f persnal cnnectins in their lives and families which make a charity imprtant t them.
In anther study aimed at yung peple, mst participants cited a cmpelling (无法抗拒的) missin as their main mtivatin t give. The secnd mst imprtant drive was if a friend r peer recmmended supprting a particular cause. Only tw percent f respndents said they were mtivated by celebrity endrsement. This seems t cntradict the general assumptin that teenagers are particularly influenced by famus peple. One pssible explanatin is that there is a general fatigue (疲倦) with celebrity culture. There is als a suspicin that the stars are the nes wh benefit mst when they ffer t d charity wrk. Sme critiques have accused that celebrities might actually take attentin away frm issues by attracting mre attentin than the causes they represent.
S taking all these issues int accunt, is it time fr charities t rethink their campaign strategies and lk fr alternative ways t reach new audiences? Whichever pint f view yu favur, there seems t be pprtunities fr mre research int hw charity campaigns might develp relatinships with celebrities t maximise their ptential. This in turn will pen up mre engagement, and better targeted campaigns — which can nly benefit thse wh really matter — the peple and animals that are in need f assistance.
12. What des the underlined wrd “tangible” in Paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A. Cntrversial.B. Celebrated.C. Definite.D. Temprarily.
13. Which f the fllwing statements is crrect accrding t Paragraph 2?
A. Celebrity invlvement is key t mtivating peple t dnate.
B. All peple are nt influenced by celebrities in charity dnatins.
C. Mst peple cntribute t charities because they are inspired by the family.
D. Nne f the peple believe celebrities make any difference t their dnatin.
14. The 3rd paragraph is mainly abut ________.
A. hw yung peple react t celebrity culture
B. wh is t blame fr taking attentin away frm charities
C. what mainly mtivates yung peple t be engaged in charitable giving
D. why yung peple are rarely influenced by celebrities in charity dnatins
15. What is the authr’s attitude twards celebrity ding charities?
A. Objective.B. Psitive.C. Negative.D. Unclear.

It was a typical busy nn at the dwntwn fast-fd spt. The smell f sizzling patties and crispy fries lingered (弥漫) in the air, and the place was packed with flks rushing t grab a quick meal. I’d just gtten ff a lng mrning at wrk, and my stmach was empty as I finally reached the frnt f the line and gt my rder-a burger, fries, and a cld drink.
As I set the tray (托盘) dwn n a small table by the windw, I glanced ver and saw tw firefighters in the crner. Their unifrms were heavy with faint spts, like they’d just stepped away frm a smky scene, and their bts still held a hint f damp frm the mrning dew. They std in the back f the line, shulders relaxed but eyes tired.
I was just abut t pick up my burger-the cheese melted perfectly-when a lud, sharp siren (警报) cut thrugh the nise f the restaurant. The tw firefighters frze fr half a secnd, and then mved. N hesitatin, n exchange f wrds — just muscle memry. One grabbed his helmet ff the nearby cunter, the ther adjusted his radi n his shulder, and they turned tward the dr, their steps quickening.

My empty stmach served as a quiet reminder f hw lng I’d waited fr this meal. I’d std in that line fr 15 minutes, my feet aching frm the mrning’s wrk. Giving them my lunch meant I wuld have t wait again-maybe anther line, maybe my break slipping away faster. I bit my lip, staring at the tray. Then I thught f their unifrms, the spts, the way they’d act upn hearing the siren like it was a call they culdn’t ignre. They didn’t get t pause fr a meal when emergencies hit. They’d prbably g hurs withut eating, running frm ne call t the next.
