We’ve all had cases where we’ve waited just a bit too long to pay an electric bill or speeding ticket. But one man, from California by reasonable assumption，who goes by “Dave”，recently took procrastination (拖延) one step further, by paying a parking ticket almost a half-century after it was given. In December 2018, the Minersville Police Department in Pennsylvania received a letter in the mail. Whoever wrote the letter decided it was best to keep his name somewhat unknown，so he put the return address as “Wayward Road，Anytown California” under the name “Feeling guilty”. When the officers opened the envelope，they found a brief letter, along with a $5 bill, and a parking ticket dating all the way back to 1974. The note read，“Dear PD，I've been carrying this ticket around for 40 plus years always intending to pay. Forgive me if I don't give you my info. With respect，Dave.” Even though the initial parking ticket was only for $2, “Dave” must have felt awfully guilty because he left 150 percent，or $3, in interest. Michael Combs, the Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department, stated in an interview that the same ticket would cost about $20 if it were given today. Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate. Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to out-of-state cars back then，“Dave” could have gotten away with never paying the $2 fine. But apparently，guilt got the best of him，and he decided to finally cough up the money more than 40 years past its due date. 【1】How much do we know about “Dave”？ A. He lives in Wayward Road，Anytown California. B. His car probably came from Ohio at that time. C. The police are trying to find out more about him. D. “Dave” is of course the man’s real name indeed. 【2】Why didn’t “Dave” pay for the parking ticket until recently? A. He completely forgot about it in the past 44 years. B. He didn’t find it until almost half a century later. C. He didn’t pay for it just because of procrastination. D. He failed to find out who he should pay the money to. 【3】What drove “Dave” to pay for the parking ticket at last? A. A strong sense of guilt. B. Fear of being tracked by the police. C. Worry about being fined more. D. Sudden change of his financial situation. 【4】Which of the following can be the best title? A. Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department Shares a Story B. Parking Ticket Carried Around for Almost Half a Century from Ohio C. Unusual Letter Comes from Wayward Road, Anytown California D. Mysterious Procrastinator Finally Pays 44-Year-Old Parking Ticket |

“Birds” and “airports” are two words that, paired together，don’t normally paint the most harmonious picture. So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport that is for birds. Described as the world’s first-ever bird airport, the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary(保护区）in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is, of course,not an actual airport. Rather，it's a wetland preserve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds-even thousands-of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the East Asian-Australian Flyway. Over 50 species of migratory (迁徙的）water birds，some endangered, will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway. Located on a former landfill site，the 150-acre airport is also open to human travelers.(Half a million visitors are expected annually.) However，instead of duty-free shopping，the main attraction for non-egg-laying creatures at Tianjin’s newest airport will be a green-roofed education and research center, a series of raised “observation platforms” and a network of scenic walking and cycling paths totaling over 4 miles. “The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species, while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin.” Adrian McGregor of an Australian landscape architecture firm explained of the design. Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports, Tianjin is a city---China’s fourth most populous----that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs• 【1】The underlined phrase “non-egg-laying creatures” in Paragraph 3 refers to? A. Visitors. B. Designers. C. Endangered water birds. D. Planes. 【2】What do we know about the airport according to the passage? A. People cannot watch birds up close here. B. It is located on a 150-acre landfill site. C. It functions as an actual airport and a wetland preserve. D. It provides migratory birds with food and shelter. 【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The airport will become a permanent home for birds. B. Tianjin will win worldwide fame in the future. C. Tianjin’s air quality will improve thanks to the airport. D. Tianjin will be able to accommodate more people. 【4】What is this passage mainly about? A. Airports shut down and open up. B. China is to open the first Bird Airport. C. Airports turn into green lungs. D. Birds are no longer enemies to airports. |

Brriiinnng. The alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning. You jump out of bed, rush into the shower，into your clothes and out the door with hardly a moment to think. A stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure climbing. Once at the office, you glance through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters. In that sort of mood，who can get down to work, particularly some creative，original problem-solving work? The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible,open-minded thinking. Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we’re unfocused. If you are one of those energetic morning people, your most inventive time comes in the early evening when you are relaxed. Sleepy people’s lack of focus leads to an increase in creative problem solving. By not giving yourself time to tune into your wandering mind, you’re missing out on the surprising solutions it may offer. The trip you take to work doesn’t help, either. The stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons(神经细胞)，making inspirations less likely to occur. And while we all should read a lot about what’s going on in the world，it would not make you feel good for sure, so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the day’s work is done. So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to start them with a full capacity for creative problem solving? We’d set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed，following our thoughts where they lead. We'd stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower，stopping thinking about tasks in favor of a few more minutes of relaxation. We’d take some deep breaths on our way to work, instead of complaining about heavy traffic. And once in the office —we’d click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web has to offer. 【1】According to the author, we are more creative when we are______. A. focused B. awake C. relaxed D. busy 【2】What does the author imply about newspapers? A. They are solution providers. B. They are normally full of bad news. C. They are a source of inspiration. D. They are more educational than websites. 【3】By “tune into your wandering mind” (in Para. 2)，the author means “ ”. A. wander into the wild B. listen to a beautiful tune C. switch to the traffic channel D. stop concentrating on anything 【4】What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To offer practical suggestions. B. To summarize past experiences. C. To advocate diverse ways of life. D. To set up a routine for the future. |

If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all.【1】 So challenge the following limits: 1. Figure out what you’re scared of and do it continuously. If you’re a salesman, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call.【2】 But don’t stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eye and say, “Go on. I’m not scared!” 2. Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to develop Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this.【3】Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income. 3. Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise. 【4】A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself. 4. Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people. Don’t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers—try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they’re going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class.【5】 A. You should do it continuously. B. Someone may hang up on you. C. You don’t need to go to the gym. D. Running in the gym may be a better choice. E. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself. F. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. G.
