[详细]举一反三
If you’re planning on traveling, there a re a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your jou rney.
First of all, always check and double-check departure (起程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency(货币) with you when you arrive  in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flew there from London via(经由)Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.
“Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing (令人难 堪的).
The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suit and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.

小题3:According to the passage, the driver was angry because_______| A．the author gave him false money | | B．the author did not give him the local currency | | C．the author did not give him money | D．the auth or had no enough change |
小题4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?| A．The author tells people to choose warm places as their travel destinations. | | B．You don’t have to take credit cards when traveling. | | C．You should know more about the weather of the place you’ll visit. | D．You should take enough change when yo u travel to other countries. |
小题5:What is t he main idea of the passage?A．A few simple rules about how to make life easier both befo re and after your journey. | | B．Always check and double-check departure time. | | C．It is important to have the local currency with you when you arrive in a country. | D．To find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you lea ve. |

Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.
The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive  than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said, “Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee’s attention.”
“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Coker said on the university’s websit e. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day’s work, and as a result, increases productivity(生产效率),”he said.
According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching video, using social networking sites or shopping online,” said Coker. “That’s not always a good idea .”
However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without,” he said.
小题1:What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show?| A．People who surf the Internet are good employees. | | B．Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours. | | C．Surfing the Internet for fun during office hours increases productivity. | D．The Internet is becoming more and more impo rtant in people’s life. |
小题2: According to Paragraph 3, Brent Coker would most probably agree that______.| A．the longer a person’s mind rests ,the better attention he will have | B．surfing the Internet is the best way to increase productivit y | | C．workers should have a long break during office hours | | D．Workers should let their minds rest now and then |
小题3:Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities? | A．Watching videos. | B．Reading online news. | | C．Reading online novels | D．Playing online games. |
小题4:The underlined word “block” in Paragr ap4 means “_____”.| A．prevent | B．cycle | C．burst | D．breathe |
小题5:What can we infer form the last paragraph?| A．Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity. | | B．Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity. | | C．Most people don’t surf the Internet in moderation during office hours. | | D．People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet. |

Before discussing different kinds of emotions, let us briefly talk about how researchers 1 bodily processes, actions and behavior, and how this relates to what we do in our daily lives when we observe emotions in 2 .
Bodily processes can be directly measured by 3 of a polygraph. (测谎器)When a polygraph is skillfully used to 4 how we react bodily with what we are 5 , it is called a "lie detector". Bodily processes can also be measured 6 . This is what we do when we observe someone blushing (脸红). However, we are not always 7 of what bodily processes respond to.
Measuring action 8 behavior is the other way researchers assess the emotions. 9 , one measure of fear of snakes is how 10 a person will go to the snake. Another procedure is to have a person 11 how afraid he is, or how he feels, in this way, researchers have 12 the so-called "fear thermometer" to assess a person’s fear. 13 our everyday living, we do very much the same thing. Only not too 14 . We react to what a person does, what he says, 15 he says it, and how he looks. Is he smiling? Is his voice trembling? We put all this 16 together to infer what a person is feeling.
17 , we do not always act as we feel. Sometimes we do things that we don’t feel like doing. 18 we say we feel one way and then we act another. Actors, for example, successfully learn to "make believe" emotions, or learn to 19 them. Thus we 20 always tell what a person is feeling by what he says or by what he does.
