D yu find getting up in the mrning s difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanatin. He has prved that everyne has a daily energy cycle.
During the hurs when yu labur thrugh yur wrk, yu may say that yu’re “ht”. That’s true. The time f day when yu feel mst energetic is when yur cycle f bdy temperature is at its peak. Fr sme peple that peak cmes during the frenn. Fr thers it cmes in the afternn r evening. N ne has discvered why this is s, but it leads t such familiar mnlgues(自言自语) as “Get up , Jhn ! Yu’ll be late fr wrk again !” The pssible explanatin t the truble is that Jhn is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member f the family has.
Yu can’t change yur energy cycle, but yu can make yur life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe yu’re sleepy in the evening but feel yu must stay up late anyway. Cunteract(打乱) yur cycle t sme extent by habitually staying up later than yu want t . If yur energy is lw in the mrning but yu have an imprtant jb t d early in the day, rise befre yur usual hur. This wn’t change yur cycle, but yu’ll get up steam(精力) and wrk better at yur lw pint.
Get ff t a slw start which saves yur energy. Get up with a yawn(哈欠) and stretch . Sit n the edge f the bed a minute befre putting yur feet n the flr. Avid the trublesme search fr clean clthes by laying them ut the night befre. Whenever pssible, d rutine wrk in the afternn and save tasks requiring mre energy fr yur sharper hurs.
28. Which f the fllwing causes family quarrels?
A. Familiar mnlgues.
B. Nt knwing each ther’s energy cycle.
C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.
D. Attempts t cntrl the energy f ther family members

C. g t bed earlier D. get up early than usual
30. Yu are advised t rise with a yawn and stretch because it will .
A. help t keep yur energy fr the day’s wrk
B. help yu t cntrl yur temper early in the day
C. enable yu t get yur energy n yur rutine wrk

Everyne lks frward t prgress, whether in ne’s persnal life r in the general sciety. Prgress indicates a persn’s ability t change the way he is living at the mment. Prgress must lead a better way f ding things. All these, hwever, remains true nly in s far as peple want t accept technlgy and mve frward by finding new and mre efficient ways f ding things.
Hwever, at the back f the minds f many peple, especially thse wh miss the “gd ld days”, efficiency cmes with a price. When cmmunicatin becmes efficient, peple are able t cnduct ne anther n matter where they are and at whatever time they wish t. The click f a buttn allws peple miles apart t talk r t see each ther withut even leaving their hmes. With the cmmunicatin gadgets(小器具), such as mbile phnes and iPads, peple ften d nt take the effrt t visit ne anther persnally. A persnal visit carries with the additinal feature f having t be in the persn’s presence fr as lng as the visit lasts. We cannt unnecessarily excuse urselves r turn the ther persn ff.
With efficiency als cmes mass prductin. Such is the nature f factries and the success f industrializatin tday. Factries have imprved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left t machines and prducts are better made and prduced with greater accuracy than any human hand culd ever have dne. Hwever, with the imprvements in efficiency als cmes the lss f the persnal tuch when making these prducts. Fr example, many handcrafts(手工艺品) are nw prduced in a factry.
Althugh this means that supply is better able t increase demand, nw that the
supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass prductin lwers the quality f the handicraft and it is difficult t find unique designs n each item.
Nevertheless, we must nt cmmit the mistake f analyzing prgress nly frm ne pint f view. In fact, prgress has allwed traditin t keep up. It is nly with prgress and the inventin f new technlgy that many ld prducts can be brught back t their ld state. New technlgy is required fr ld prducts t stay ld.
It is peple’s attitude twards prgress that causes the type f influence that technlgy has n sciety. Technlgy is flexible. There is n fixed way f making use f it. Everything depends n peple’s attitude. The wrst effects f prgress will fall n thse wh are unable t rethink their attitudes and views f sciety. When we accept prgress and adapt it t suit ur needs, a new “past” is created.
32. Accrding t Paragraph 1, prgress can benefit peple when they are willing t _______.
A. live a better life B. lk fr better methds
C. change ways f living D. accept technlgy and advance steadily
33. The authr explains “efficiency cmes with a price” by _______.
A. describing a prcess B. using examples
C. fllwing time rder D. making classificatin
34. What can be cncluded frm the last paragraph?
A. Prgress can suit the needs f daily life.
B. Peple review the past with great regret.
C. Peple’s attitude decides the use f technlgy.
D. Technlgy shuld be intrduced in a fixed way.

阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信 息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。
D yu think yu’re a gd listener? Chances are yu d. But studies shw that mst peple seriusly verestimate their ability t listen. The truth is we are generally nt gd at listening, and ur listening cmprehensin declines as we age.
Why aren’t we gd at listening? One reasn cncerns the speed at which we think. The adult brain can prcess up t arund 400 wrds per minute. This means during a cnversatin an average persn thinks mre than three times faster than he speaks. Therefre, we can easily think abut smething else while smene is talking t us, allwing ur mind t wander r get sidetracked. Thinking abut hw yu will reply while smene is still talking is ne f the mst cmmn barriers t effective listening.
Anther factr that cntributes t ur pr listening is ur ever-decreasing attentin span (持续时间). Accrding t a study cnducted by Micrsft, in 2000 — arund the time the mbile revlutin began—the average human attentin span was 12 secnds; by 2013, it had fallen t 8 secnds! Our mbile devices prvide cnstant distractins, which can be very destructive t listening. Test results have shwn that being interrupted by a cell phne lwers listening cmprehensin by 20 percent.
Interruptins and distractins can cause a dramatic decline in listening ability—but they dn’t have t. Mre and mre peple nw realize that listening is a skill that can be develped thrugh practice. Learning t bserve a speaker’s bdy language and emtins, fr example, can imprve ur active listening. Even the simple act f nte-taking r making eye cntact can help us stay fcused while listening.
The rewards f effective listening are many. Research suggests that peple wh are gd listeners make better leaders. And a recent study indicates that emplyees wh dn’t believe their bsses are listening t them are less likely t ffer helpful suggestins and new ideas. As Dr. Ralph Nichls nce said, “The mst basic f all human needs is the need t understand and be understd. The best way t understand peple is t listen t them.”
40. Accrding t Paragraph 2, why is it easy fr us t get distracted during a cnversatin?
41. What has caused the decrease f ur attentin span?
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
➢ The decline f listening ability caused by distractins is sharp, and it is hard t be prevented.
43. Please intrduce the rewards that effective listening brings t yu.
