In the last few years, many office supply companies have begun to sell the adjustable- height desk. These so- called “ sit/ stand” models are equipped with an electric motor that lets them shift from chair height to person height at the push of a button. Unfortunately, they’re regarded as specially furniture. Sit/ stand desks tend to be expensive, hard to find and not easy to test it in person.
When you worked standing up, your mind was more excited and new ideas kept coming out. This is because when you’re standing, you feel a bit unchained from your desk. If you got stuck on a word or sentence as you wrote, you found yourself shaking your arms, bouncing on your feet or stepping away from the desk for a bit------ things you couldn’t do in a chair. Often, standing up seemed to relax your mind enough for you to get over creative barriers.
There’s one other thing about standing for a long time; you tended to get hungrier than you do when you sit on a chair. That felt like confirmation of the stand-up advocates’ belief that you burn more calories when you stand than when you sit. For this reason alone, I’m hoping that sit/ stand desks one day hit the mainstream, with mass- market furniture companies making many low- priced versions. We could all do with a bit more standing up.
小题1:We can learn that the adjustable- height desk is_______.
| A．easy to find | B．easy to test |
| C．relatively cheap | D．smart in operation |
| A．tends to make us much healthier |
| B．get us distracted from the work at hand |
| C．can make us relaxed and be creative |
| D．make us move about and unfocused |
| A．free | B．tired | C．uneasy | D．Unbalanced |
In a survey of fans by the sci-fi and fantasy website, SFX.co.uk, Batman, 70 years old this year, was voted Britain"s favorite superhero.
Unlike many crime-fighting superheroes Batman has no special powers. He can"t fly like Superman or shoot a sticky web like Spider-Man.
Bruce Wayne is born to a wealthy Gotham City business family. However, when his parents are murdered his life changes completely.
Wayne feels anger at their deaths and guilty that he did not prevent them. He travels around the world learning how to fight. Upon returning to Gotham, he creates a disguise (伪装) to enable him to fight crime without being recognized.
A childhood fear of bats leads him to choose to dress as one. His idea is that through the bat person he can prove to himself that he has overcome his childhood fears.
Wayne is the CEO of the company he inherits (继承) from his father. He seems to live the lifestyle of a millionaire playboy. But this is a ruse (计策). He works hard at the image to allow himself the freedom he needs to do his work as a crime fighter. "Bruce Wayne, playboy" is the disguise Batman is the real person.
"Wayne is not a born superhero. Instead, he is a real, complex person," said Dace Golder, editor of the website. "He is the most realistic of all the superheroes. I am particularly interested in the emotional process by which a boy becomes a hero. His superhero qualities come from within."
小题1:What is the article mainly about?
| A．How Bruce Wayne develops into a superhero. |
| B．How to overcome childhood fears. |
| C．What makes a superhero. |
| D．Why superheroes enjoy great popularity in Britain. |
| A．his curiosity about bats | B．his childhood fear of bats |
| C．his parents" sudden death | D．his unusual travel experiences |
| A．He prefers the lifestyle of a playboy. |
| B．He doesn"t know how to run a company. |
| C．He loves freedom more than anything else. |
| D．He needs to disguise his crime fighting activities. |
| A．Batman is a born superhero |
| B．He has special powers |
| C．The turning point of his life is due to his parents" sudden death |
| D．He actually lives the lifestyle of a millionaire playboy |
The companies announced their new rules ahead of a Federal Trade Commission hearing on Wednesday that steps up pressure on the companies to help solve the growing child obesity problem through more responsible marketing. The self-given rules include promises by seven companies who will no longer use licensed characters, such as those made popular through movies or TV shows, to advertise online or in print media unless they’re promoting their healthier products. Four other companies said they do not advertise at all to children under 12.
“I think this is a very good step forward. It’s not the end of the journey but it’s a good way down the road,” said Margo Wootan, Nutrition Policy Director at the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest.
Since the FTC first publicly raised the issue in 2005, many of the companies have started selling products with better nutrition in mind. The companies hope their self-regulation efforts — organized through the Council of Better Business Bureaus — will fend off any new and more strict federal regulation.
Parents are happy to see new rules that restrict the use of cartoon characters such as Shrek, Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob SquarePants. “It catches their eyes when you’re shopping,” said Josephine Thomas, a mother of three boys who lives in Manhattan. “As soon as they see a Shrek or Mickey Mouse, they automatically look at that and they don’t see what they really need. That’s one of the biggest problems when you go shopping.” That’s one reason the food companies have said they will now only use licensed characters to advertise their “better for you” products.
小题1:The reason why the food and drink companies will take action is that they want to___________
| A．promote sales across the country |
| B．limit advertising to children under the age of 12 |
| C．meet increasing demands from kids |
| D．adapt to the new federal regulations |
| A．may still use cartoon characters in advertising |
| B．are going to stop advertising to children under 12 |
| C．Would like to continue the cooperation with entertainment media |
| D．will make food and drink specially for fat kids |
| A．prevent ... from happening | B．draw up or work out |
| C．pay attention to | D．give a warm welcome to |
| A．kids spend too much on unhealthy food |
| B．parents are strict about their kids’ food choice |
| C．“better for you” products are popular with kids |
| D．ads with cartoon characters mislead kids |
I can"t give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower, but here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life．
1．Do less
Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day．Focus not on quantity but on quality．Pick 2 or 3 important things-or even just one important thing- and work on those first．
2．Have fewer meetings
Meetings are usually a big waste of time and make you rush．Try to have blocks of time with no interruptions, so you don"t have to rush from one meeting to another．
3．Give yourself time to get ready and get there
If you"re constantly rushing to appointments or other places you have to be, it"s because you don"t allot（分配） enough time in your schedule for preparing and for traveling．Pad your schedule to allow time for this stuff．If you think it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date, perhaps give yourself 30 to 45 minutes so you don"t have to shave in a rush or put on makeup in the car．
4．Practice being comfortable with sitting doing nothing
When people have to wait, they become impatient or uncomfortable．Try standing in a line and just watching and listening w people around you．It takes practice, but after a while, you’ll do it with a smile．
5．Realize that if it doesn"t get done, that"s Ok．
There"s always tomorrow．And yes, I know that"s a frustrating attitude for some of you who don"t like laziness or living without firm deadlines, but it"s also reality．The world likely won"t end if you don"t get that task done today．Your boss might get mad, but the company won"t collapse and the life will inevitably go on．
Try these things out．Life is better when unrushed．
Remember the quote: If nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you．
小题1:Which can be the best title of the passage?
| A．How not to hurry in our life? |
| B． How to give out our life? |
| C．What to do with our life? |
| D．How to change our life? |
| A．you don"t have to put on makeup |
| B．you"d better squeeze about 35 minutes out for it |
| C．you should arrange 10 minutes for it |
| D．you should rush there |
| A．even if we do as we"re told by the author, we can"t change anything |
| B．if we follow the author"s advice, our life will be better |
| C．we should try to do all the things better on our task list |
| D．there"s always tomorrow, so we can put off the thing that must be done today till tomorrow |
| A．develop rapidly | B．pay enough |
| C．fail completely | D．drop suddenly |
Alice Wu is an editor at a Chinese Internet publication．She takes the subway to work, but she is certain she can cut her commute time if she drives herself．Wu says it takes her three hours to get to work now．If she had a car, she says, the same trip would only take her two hours．
The Asian Games Village Automobile Exchange is the biggest car dealership in Beijing．General manager Guo Yong says the business sells more than two thousand cars each week．Guo says it is much easier for Chinese consumers to buy a car now．In the past, it would take them several years to earn enough money to buy a new car．Now, he says, many people only need to save for one year．Also, the emergence of less expensive domestic brands like Chery and BYD means more Chinese can afford cars．
For decades, most Chinese city residents got about by bicycle or public buses and trains．Now, in many areas, the number of new cars is growing faster than the road system, leaving city streets jammed with traffic．Guo Liang has wanted to buy a car for a decade, and he will be the first in his family to own one．He is not deterred by Beijing"s traffic jams．Guo says if the traffic is too bad, he will use the car for leisure or holidays with his family．Another customer, Zhang Menxin, works in Beijing, but is from Xi"an, more than 900 kilometers away．Zhang says it is very difficult to get a train ticket to return home for Chinese New Year．She adds that train is not convenient．If she had her own car, she says, she could go anytime she wanted to．
World Bank transportation specialist Shomik Mendhiratta says, “Getting a car makes people feel like they have arrived to the middle class, and it"s got a huge status associated with it．It"s a fantastic thing to have．”
小题1:The underlined word "deterred" in the 4th paragraph probably means .
