2.A newly married woman called Gilleece, saying she lost her wallet at his bar with her wedding ring inside. Gilleece looked through camera videos, watching the womans every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Then a young man approached the bench and put something in his pocket. Gilleece posted several pictures on the bar’s Facebook page, asking if anybody knew the guy.

Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17-year-oid Prather. Prather admitted having taken the wallet because he hadn’t eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but just took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks(码头) into the ocean.

Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather, told the teen to meet him at the bar. There, Prather said that, not getting along with his family, he had been living in the woods for a week. Gilleece saw him as a kid rather than a criminal. But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could face prison. Gilleece planned to employ two divers to search for it. Meanwhile, the police wanted Gilleece to bring the teen to the station. He called them and said，”He’s going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.”

The next day a crowd gathered to watch the two divers search in the waters Prather mentioned. Finally a diver appeared with the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers burst from the crowd. The wallet’s owner immediately dropped the charges against Prather. But troubled by Prather sleeping in the cold woods, Gilleece told the teen he could stay with him and his family until he stood on his own feet. He also gave the kid a job at his bar.

“Most people would have given the videos to the police, but he chose to help me," Prather told CBS News.

3. Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.

Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.

Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.

Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in space.

While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.

While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.

1.Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?

A.To express his doubts.

B.To compare different ideas.

C.To describe the conditions on Earth.

D.To introduce points for discussion.

2.The underlined word “spin-offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to______.

A.survival chances

B.potential resources

C.unexpected benefits

D.physical possessions

3.What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?

A.Our genetic makeup.

B.Resources on the earth.

C.The adaptive ability of humans.

D.By-products in space exploration.

4.Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?

A.Space exploration has created many wonders.

B.Space exploration provided the best value for money.

C.Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.

D.Space exploration can benefit science and technology.

4.When it comes to focusing at work, there is no lack of things to take responsibility for our wandering minds. Refreshing Twitter, scanning the news, talking with colleagues about small beer. But there^ one possible cause of frequent distraction(使人分心的事).Our work isn’t complex enough, and there isn’t enough of it.

This idea isn’t popular, especially with those who feel they’re already working busily. Actually complex tasks demand more of our working memory and attention, with little mental distraction. We get bored when our skills go beyond the demands of our work. And we feel anxious when the demands of a task go beyond our skills. Understanding your skill level, and matching this with a worthy task will make you more likely to be fully devoted to your work. Besides questioning the complexity of tasks, it’s worth reflecting on whether you have enough work to do in general. If not，you’re inviting distraction.

Think back to your last deadline. That timeline offers you no distractions like using social media. Our workload tends to expand to fit the time available for the completion of work. Small tasks that should take two hours will take an entire workday if we have that time available. Distractions are to blame for this time trap.

A few years ago, after I finished a report on a tight deadline, I continued to be just as busy. I entered my social media accounts when I should have been working. I checked new emails constantly. I felt guilty when I wasn’t busy, and I alleviated this guilt by filling my time with busy work.

Later I realized busy work couldn’t really bring the relief, for the guilt came from the fact that I was working without intention. When we have more to do, choosing what we do ahead of time becomes necessary. Therefore，if you have distraction, consider that you might need to work harder on projects that will fill your days and enrich your life.

1.What do people usually blame for being distracted?

A. The absence of work complexity.

B. Their colleagues’ lack of teamwork.

C. Social media or chats with colleagues.

D. The tiredness after hours of hard work.

2.When will we feel anxious at work?

A.When we don’t have enough tasks to do.

B.When our ability can’t meet job requirements.

C.When we are busy with work for a long while.

D.When we spend too much time on social media.

3.Which of the following can best explain “alleviated” underlined in paragraph 4?

A. Forgot.

B. Researched.

C. Deepened.

D. Eased.

4.What’s the author’s suggestion on dealing with distraction?

A. Work hard with the intention to fill our life.

B. Balance our work and social activities.

C. Expand our workload to fit the time available.

D. Remove the sense of guilt about mind’s wandering away.

Soon it came, and I stepped in, feeling pretty proudly of my high tech way and satisfied with the convenience brought by the app. So later, I was upset to find that the driver was busy looking his cell phone to get the next order.
