This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you dont know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap (水龍頭)water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill(重續(xù)).Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day. Serving in restaurants is often large; too large for many people. If you cant finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows youre taking the food for yourself. Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.21. Which statement is TRUE?A. American people like sitting with people they dont know.B. Hostess always seats a small group at a large table.C. American people never sit with people they dont know.D. American people would not light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.22.What is served before you order?A. Cold water. B. Butter. C. Coffee. D. Bread.23. What do American people always do when servings are too large for them?A. They take the food home with a doggie bag for their dogs.B. They leave the food on the table and go away.C. They take the food home with a doggie bag and enjoy the food later.D. They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food for them.BEven when youre extremely busy, you arent using your time with 100% efficiency. There are gaps in everyones schedule where they arent doing anything important. Even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time when you arent working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.Why arent you completely efficient? Its because time isnt the limiting factor. If it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions (消遣). Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate (拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. Energy levels limit your productivity because when youre tired, you can have enough time and still not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices（犧牲）. But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. The reason why its hard to “find time” isnt a lack of time. Its because you dont have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.I first suspected time wasnt the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. I was extremely busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly. I had daily to-do lists with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise. However, after a few weeks off, because of illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was very light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise. It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. How can I explain this strange experience? I believe you have known it. 24. If someone cant work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is _.A. a schedule without gaps B. breaks and distractionsC. the limited time D. the limited energy25. According to Paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can _.A. work without any rest B. focus on many things at a timeC. find some more time in a day D. do some exercise regularly26. The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to _.A. prove what the real limiting factor isB. show us how busily he needs to workC. explain how important a healthy body isD. tell us what a strange experience he has27. What is the best title of the passage?A. Do You Really Lack Time? B. How Can You Work Efficiently?C. What Makes Your Energy Limited? D. When Should You Do Exercise?CA blind baby is doubly handicapped. Not only is it unable to see, but because it cannot receive the visual stimulus（刺激）from its environment that a sighted child does, it is likely to be slow in intellectual development. Now the ten-month old son of Dr. and Mrs. Dennis Daughters is the subject of an unusual psychological experiment designed to prevent a lag（滯后）in the learning process. With the aid of a sonar-type electronic that he wears on his head, infant(嬰兒) Dennis is learning to identify the people and objects in the world around him by means of echoes(回聲).The device is an improvement of the “Sonicguide”, an instrument produced by Telesensory Systems, Inc., of Palo Alto, Calif, and used by blind adults in addition to a smart or guide dog. As adapted for Dennis, it consists of a battery-powered system about the size of a half dollar that is on a headgear. A transmitter sends out an ultrasonic(超聲的) pulse that creates an 80 degree cone of sound at 6 feet. Echoes from objects within the cone are perceived (felt) as sounds that vary in pitch(音調(diào)) and volume(音量) with the size and distance of the object.The closer an object is, the lower the pitch, and the larger the object, the louder the signal. Hard surfaces produce a sharp ping, while soft ones send back signals with a slightly fuzzy quality. An object slightly to the right of Dennys sends back a louder sound to his right ear than to the left. Thus , by simply moving his head right and left and up and down, he can not only locate an object but also get some notion of its shape and size, thanks to the varying qualities of sounds reaching his ears as the cone of ultrasound(超聲波) passes its edges. Dennis likes to use the device to play a kind of peek-a-boo with his mother. Standing on her knee and facing her directly, he receives a strong signal in both ears. By turning his head away, he makes her seem to disappear. “From the first time he wore it,” says Mrs. Daughters, “it was like a light going on in his head.”What remains to be determined is how well the device will help Dennis cope with his surroundings as he begins to walk and venture further into his environment.Meanwhile, Telesensory, Inc, is working on the development of sonar(聲納) device with somewhat the same sensitivity as Denniss for use by school-age children.28. Dr. and Mrs. Daughters research is directed to _.A. helping the blind to see and learn as well as othersB. benefiting the learning process of blind childrenC. solving blind childrens psychological problemsD. finding out how children develop intellectually29. Infant Dennis becomes the subject of the experiment most probably because _.A. he already lags behind the sighted childrenB. he leads a life as normal as any other childrenC. he is at the early stage of the learning processD. he has the aid of a sonar-type electronic device30. What can we learn about infant Dennis device?A. Its first design was designed for blind adults.B. Its battery is as small as a half-dollar coin.C. It is functionally similar to a sane and guide dog.D. It has been improved by Telesensory Systems, Inc.31. In the third paragraph, “its edges” refers to _ .A. the edge of an object B. the edge of the deviceC. the boundary of Dennis movement D. the boundary of the sound pitch. DMainland couples who give birth to a second child in Hong Kong will be fined for breaking the family planning policy，a senior official has warnedAs more women flock to Hong Kong to give birth to their second child，Zhang Feng，family planning department director of Guangdong Province，stressed that this violated Chinas policies“And those who are government employees will even be dismissed from their posts”he said “ It doesnt matter if they give birth to their second child on the mainland or in other countries and regions, they have violated the countrys policies and the provinces regulations”.
