What were you doing before you started reading this? Were you fully focused on another article? Or eating breakfast? Organizing your day? Or were you staring out of the window, feeling restless and bored?

It is likely to have been the latter. Brief moments of boredom are universal, and are frequently what drives us to stop what we are doing and move to something that we hope will be more exciting.

But although boredom is common, it is neither unimportant nor favorable, according to Dr John Eastwood, a psychologist at York University, Toronto. Eastwood is the joint author of The Unengaged Mind, a major new paper on the theory of boredom.

Boredom, he points out in the paper, has been connected with overeating, depression,

3

anxiety, and an increased risk of making mistakes. Mistakes at work might not be a matter of life and death for most of us, but if you are an air traffic controller, pilot or nuclear power plant operator, they most certainly can be.

Commercial polo Sami Franks confirms that boredom can make pilots lose attention. “When you fly a lengthy distance, there are two pilots, one of whom is monitoring all the screens while the other does the paperwork, talks to air traffic control and so on. You need to be alert(警觉的) for landing and takeoff, but once you’re 500 ft above the runway, the plane’s on autopilot(自动驾驶仪) and it can be very quiet and boring. In a study I saw of pilots who woke up after a short sleep. 30% of them reported seeing the other pilot asleep too,” said Franks.

However, Dr Esther Priyadharshini, a senior lecturer in education at the university of East Anglia, has studied boredom and says it can be seen in a positive light. “We can’t prevent boredom—it’s an unavoidable human emotion. We have to accept it and find ways to control it. We all need downtime. There’s no need to be fully busy with work at all times.” she says.

Children who complain that they have nothing to do on rainy holidays may try to find other things to focus on. The artist Grayson Perry has reportedly spoken of how long periods of boredom in childhood may have improved his creativity.

“We all need vacant time to mull(深思熟虑)things over,” says Priyadharshini. 21． We can learn from Eastwood that _______. A. boredom can be potentially (潜在地) dangerous B. air traffic controllers usually feel bored C. brief moments of boredom are not common D. making mistakes is a major cause of boredom 22．The study mentioned by Franks shows that ______. A. pilots need to be alert for landing and takeoff B. pilots must work well together when flying C. boredom can make pilots lose attention D. flying a plane is generally quite fun

23． Which of the following might be Perry’s opinion on boredom?

4

A. It often leads to failure. B. It has a beneficial effect.

C. It is more likely to happen to children. D. It makes children lose interest in learning. 24．What is the best title for the text? A. Why am I so bored? B. Is boredom bad for you? C. Can I have your attention? D. How can I get rid of boredom?

ADAPTIVE ACTION SPORTS

Adaptive Action Sports was founded in 2005 by Amy Purdy and Daniel Gale.

Amy Purdy was an active snowboarder, until she lost both her legs to bacterial meningitis(脑脊膜炎). She spent three months in the hospital fighting for her life, and doctors gave her a less than two percent chance of survival. Because of meningitis Amy lost circulation in both her legs, and when she came out of the hospital she had prosthetic legs(义肢). When she lost her legs, Amy knew she would be active again, but didn’t know how or when. She struggled to be active on her new legs, and a little over two years after her amputation(截肢) she entered the USASA (United States of America Snowboard Association) National Snowboarding Competition and won medals in three events.

Amy was at an adaptive snowboard workshop in 2002 when she met Daniel Gale. They immediately formed a connection through their enthusiasm for snowboarding, music, and art. Amy’s biggest struggle had been obtaining information on how to start snowboarding again with prosthetic legs, and she and Daniel both saw the need to help others like Amy. They “wanted to create something, a place, a forum, an organization that would enable individuals to find and participate in their enthusiasms without a struggle. Adaptive Action Sports was born.” Their dream was to help athletes with permanent physical disabilities compete in action sports. Adaptive Action Sports holds camps, clinics, and events to create programs and opportunities for these individuals.

Since 2000, the USASA has provided opportunities for adaptive athletes to compete in

5

snowboarding competitions. In 2007, the USASA Competition had 17 adaptive athletes compete, the largest number of adaptive athletes in adaptive athlete competition history. Although many competitors were still injured, they recovered quickly and showed how hard they are willing to push themselves.

25． We know from the text that Amy Purdy lost the ability to ______. A. help others B. walk C. obtain information D. sing 26．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How Adaptive Action Sports was founded. B. Why Amy and Daniel want to help others. C. How Amy and Daniel knew each other. D. What Amy and Daniel’s hobbies are.

27．The underlined words “these individuals” in Paragraph 4 refer to ____. A. people who love action sports

B. athletes whose bodies can’t work normally C. people who want to take part in competitions D. athletes who decide to help disabled people like Amy

At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents(文件) because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper. It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. “I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down ,” says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.

Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy

6

of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it , the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers .

Does all this mean environmental concerns (环境问题) have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away.

“I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling（回收利用）,” said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity.

The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.

28．The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to . A．the rapid development of small businesses B．the opening up of new markets C．the printing of high quality copies D．the increased use of the Internet

29．Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is . A．to encourage printing more quality documents B．to develop new printers using recycled paper C．to find new materials for making paper D．to plant more fast-growing trees

30． Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because . A．people are concerned about the environment B．printers in many offices are working overtime C．small companies need more hard copies D．they see a growing market for printers 31．What would be the best title for the text ? A．Computers and Printers B. E-mail and the Business World

7

C. Internet Revolution and Environment D. Modern Technology and New Markets

“Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher. ”You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James March, a predecessor（前任） at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. For years March ( possibly be wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience.

He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning: “Experience is respected; experience is sought; experience is explained.” The problem is that learning from experience involves（涉及） serious complications（复杂化），ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.

In one interesting part of book，for example，he turns a double eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. He says “The more accurately（精确的）reality is presented，the less understandable the story，and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is. ”

Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher. March is also a poet, and his gift shines though in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short, it is demanding: Don’t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life. 32．According to the text, James March is ____________. A. a poet who uses experience in his writing

B. a teacher who teachers story writing in university

C. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions D. a researcher who studies the way humans think and act 33．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A. Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth. B. Experience makes stories more accurate.

8

C. The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.

D. Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described. 34．What’s the purpose of this text? A. To explain experiential learning. B. To describe a researcher. C. To introduce a book

D. To discuss organizational decision making. 三、完形填空

四、请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Commercial advertisement was once thought of as a technique of the marketers to inform the potential buyers about the availability of certain products. It was seen more as a medium to inform the buyers rather than persuade them to buy. The present day marketers see advertisement as a medium to damage the image of their competitors and their products. This indeed, is an undesirable and an immoral practice. Instead of speaking about their own products, these marketers speak about the drawbacks (often without any basics) of the

10

competing products.

People watching TV advertisements would notice that there has always been an advertisement war between the marketers of different consumer goods. A few such cases are given below. 1. Parachute Coconut Oil vs. V.V.D. Gold

Some time back, the producer of V.V.D Gold Coconut Oil claimed in their TV advertisement that only their products was superior and the one sold in blue colour bottles (the reference was to Parachute coconut oil) was suitable only for un-natural hair. 2. Tata Salt vs. Captain Cook

Tata salt was first iodised (碘处理) salt marketed by an Indian Company. It has been enjoying a good and steady market. Captain Cook, another producer of iodised salt, who entered the market later, had to adopt some strategy to get control of the market. The TV advertisement of Captain Cook stressed on ‘Free flow’ of their salt when transferred to a container. The producer of Tata Salt retaliated (报复) by saying that the claim of Captain Cook was a trick and those who were quality conscious should deal with it with caution. 3. Pepsi vs. Coco Cola

Coca Cola was selected as the official soft drink for the Wills World Cricket 1996. When the cricket series was on, the marketers of Pepsi constantly advertised on TV. Their advertisement gave the idea that the cricketers preferred only Pepsi and as a matter of fact there was nothing official about it. 4. Horlicks vs. Complan

Sometime back, the TV advertisement of Complan, a health drink directly attacked Horlicks, which has been in the market for several decades. The claim of Complan was that their brand (which according to them was Brand C) has a higher percentage of ingredients (材料) compared to Brand H (reference was nothing but to Horlicks).

The above examples clearly show how the technique of advertisement is misused by some marketers to ruin the image of their competitors. This, certainly, is not a healthy trend. Any marketer should only speak about his products and not about his competitors’ products. The awareness of consumers has certainly increased over the years and they are no longer easily taken in. There are many consumer products like salt, oil shaving blades etc. But one thing for sure is that offering the same product in a different container will not make

11

the product different.

Mass media like Radio, Television and newspaper should not allow advertisements that tell lies. Legal regulations, in this regard, should also be made stricter.

71．\envelope\fever has swept the country since We Chat came up with a program allowing users to send cash through electronic payments. This gives the traditions typical of this festive period a facelift as well as some problems.

On the one hand, the brilliant idea takes the Chinese New Year tradition of gifting money into the digital era, which makes gifting money convenient and more accessible to people. What’s more, it can bring people more fun and they can make their friendship with others closer. With electronic red envelopes, you're not limited by your identity or the time of year. On the other hand, electronic red envelopes also attract more teenagers and adults to become hooked on their phones, affecting their social or school life. They spend all their free time surfing and don’t concentrate on work.

In my opinion, \envelope\provides a brand new way of communication for people and obviously adds to more fun if used properly.
