I arrived hme frm wrk, my mind racing. I was scheduled t perfrm an experiment using a pricey piece f equipment, but I had spent the whle day wrrying abut the experiment which was n the tp f my agenda, and I amazingly lnged t shut ff my anxius thughts. S after dinner, I made a cup f ht chclate, stretched myself n my sfa, and pened a page. Almst instantly, my mind left behind the details f experimental design and stepped int a land f mnsters, magic dust, and man-like bears cmprising a wnderful wrld distinct frm my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Grwing up, I was virtually never a big fan f nvels. My classmates wuld be crazy abut the latest Harry Ptter bk, while my cpy sat cllecting dust n a shelf. Instead, I wuld chse t read thrugh the reference bks related t my disciplines fr better grades. After I started graduate schl, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal t me at all but I spent mst f my time n campus digesting research papers and textbks and my mind culdn’t handle prcessing fact-filled nnfictin bks at hme, t. S I knew that I needed t find a way t enjy reading again.
T help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s reslutin: I wuld read tw fictin bks per mnth fr the entire year. The result was an almst instant appreciatin f fictin, alng with many unexpected results including nes that have benefited my schlwrk.
What surprised me the mst was hw much I learned. Sme f the best bks I read were histrical fictinal stries happening in a realistic histrical setting. I learned abut life in different cuntries as well as struggles peple there faced during difficult perids in their histries. The bks have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started t think mre deeply abut the diversity f issues in the scientific cmmunity and culd serve it, heart and sul.

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.
8．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.
9．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.
10．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.
11．What is the best title fr this passage ?
A. Retire Or Nt, This Is A Questin!
B. Shrter Weeks Is Welcme By All
C. Wrking Three Days A Week: A Great Idea
D. Carls Slim - Crazy Fr Mre Resting Time
Dreams, accrding t Carl Jung, reveal a certain amunt f reality hidden during waking cnsciusness. In Jungian philsphy, the cnflict and chas experienced in dreams finally bring rder t ur lives. While Jung’s mystical theries are debatable, he was nt mistaken abut the imprtance f dreaming. A grwing number f reprts shw that a cntinuus lack f dreaming is damaging ur waking hurs in many ways.
This trend is causing damage t ur immune and metablic (新陈代谢的) systems, let alne the electrnic prducts that keep us up late at night are ruining ur sleep patterns, which has lng-term cnsequences n ur memry system. One study shwed that nt allwing mice t have adequate amunts f REM (Rapid Eye Mvement) sleep, the stage in which we dream, the mice culdn’t strengthen memries.
Yu might think this is just a sleep prblem, but dreaming is inseparable frm ur nighttime rest. We sleep in cycles, each lasting abut 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle, we g thrugh nn-REM sleep befre hitting REM. As the night prgresses, REM sleep perids increase in length while deep sleep (ne f the stages f nn-REM sleep) decreases. The lnger we sleep, the mre time we spend in REM, which is why we are ften dreaming when waking up in the mrning. If we sleep less than seven hurs, hwever, it becmes harder t achieve this level f REM.
The cmbinatin f sleeping and dreaming acts as an emtinal stabilizer. We recver frm emtinal hurt faster when we sleep and dream prperly. Hwever, we’re nt getting enugh sleep t cycle thrugh the stages t take advantage f this natural circadian anti-depressant (抗抑郁剂) — dreams. Instead, we get depressed and turn t alchl r medicines t get t sleep, which nly makes things wrse because even ne drink leads t late REM while anti-depressants prmte deep sleep at the expense f REM.
We’re paying fr this lack f dreaming in many ways. Fr example, a 2021 study stated that cmpared with quiet rest and nn-REM sleep, REM prmted the frmatin f assciative netwrks and the integratin (整合) f unassciated infrmatin. Vlunteers that experienced mre REM sleep were better equipped fr slving prblems requiring creative slutins.
Rwan Hper, the managing editr at New Scientist, writes that dreams that include an “emtinal cre” appear t be a main functin f REM sleep and that we shuld lk at sleep patterns as seriusly as we d diet and exercise habits.
12．What’s Carl Jung’s view abut dreams?
A. They cause chas.B. They damage immunity.
C. They reveal secrets.D. They mirrr reality.
13．Why is the sleep prcess explained in paragraph 3?
A. T shw a dream mainly ccurs during REM sleep.
B. T prve the minimum sleep time shuld be seven hurs.
C. T prve dream prblems and sleep prblems are attached.
D. T shw peple ften dream when waking up in the mrning.
14．What cnclusin can be inferred frm paragraph 5?
A. REM sleep prmtes creativity.
B. REM sleep helps fight depressin.
C. The brain still receives new infrmatin during REM sleep.
D. The brain is paying the price fr having mre nn-REM sleep.
15．What’s the main idea f the passage?
A. The imprtance f sleep lies in dreams.
B. The absence f dreams is terrible fr us.
C. Dreaming patterns are mre imprtant than we realize.
D. Dreaming has mystical pwer f strengthening memries.

(我们睡得越久，在快速眼动阶段（做梦）的时间就越多，这就是为什么我们早上醒来时经常做梦。然而，如果我们的睡眠时间少于7小时，就很难达到这种程度的快速眼动)”可知，我们是否做梦，与睡眠时长及睡眠过程中的快速眼动时间是有直接关系的。由此推知，第三段解释睡眠过程，是为了证明做梦问题和睡眠问题是联系在一起的。故选C。
14．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“Vlunteers that experienced mre REM sleep were better equipped fr slving prblems requiring creative slutins. (经历了更多快速眼动睡眠的志愿者更善于解决需要创造性解决方案的问题)”可知，经历更多快速眼动睡眠的志愿者更有创造力。故选A。

解析：①be lcated in,位于……、坐落于……,is是系动词,该空是非谓语动词做状语;去掉be动词,过去分词短语作状语。故答案为lcated。
②该空是句子谓语,根据时间状语Three millin years ag,三百万年前,可知为一般过去时,谓语动词是过去式,rise,升起,过去式是rse。故答案为rse。
③high,高的,形容词,此处表示高度差,本空为名词作定语,修饰名词difference,强调被修饰词的性质,用途等;height,高度,名词。故答案为height。
④at an altitude f...,处于……的海拔,介词短语,此处表示处于3099米的海拔。故答案为at。
⑤该空是句子谓语,call,称作,叫作;主语和call为被动关系:峨眉山上寺庙和景点最集中的金顶,被称为世界上最大、最高的汉传佛教圣地;描述客观事实,为一般现在时;一般现在时的被动语态:am/is/are+dne;中心词summit为第三人称单数,be动词用is; call的过去分词为called。故答案为is called。
⑥measure,(指尺寸、长短、数量等)量度为,动词;is是系动词,本空为为非谓语;主语The Buddha statue f Samantabhadra和measure为逻辑上的主谓关系,即主动关系,用现在分词measuring表主动,构成现在分词短语作状语。故答案为measuring。
⑦该空是非限制性定语从句的关系词,从句修饰先行词expressins,指物,关系代词which指代先行词,作从句的主语。故答案为which。
⑧该句is是系动词,空格处是不定式做后置定语,意思是:金顶是欣赏峨眉令人印象深刻的“云海”的最适合的地方,appreciate,欣赏。故答案为t appreciate。
⑨该空修饰后面整个句子,故为副词,incredible难以置信的,是形容词,incredibly,副词,难以置信地。句首单词首字母大写。故答案为Incredibly。
⑩view,景色,可数名词,前面加不定冠词表示泛指,它们展示了一个独特的完整的景色,unique以辅音音素开头,不定冠词用a。故答案为a。
