My mother was an excellent housekeeper. She had a few surgeries over the years, and before each one she’d have my father move the stove out from the wall so she could clean behind it. It would have been hard for her to relax in the hospital if she knew there were dust balls behind the stove. The entire house was tidy and organized – there was a place for everything and everything was in its place. Mom would hang the sheets outside to dry rather than inside the house. And if storm clouds gathered, she would run outside, race down to the sheets, throw them into a bag, and then race back to the house as the rain started, satisfied that a major catastrophe had been avoided. Throughout our entire childhoods, my sisters and I were spoiled with fresh bedding and cookies fresh from the oven. There’s something beautiful about freshness, like the beginning of a school year, the start of a marriage, the birth of a child, moving to a new place, or starting a new job. Freshness is like opening a new calendar that isn’t yet filled with neglected tasks. A new year always means a chance at a fresh start. But the question is, how do we choose to make this new start? Maybe I need to do some housekeeping myself. A good sweeping usually leads to finding some interesting things – an old memory or two and new hobbies that fell by the wayside. Perhaps it’s time to clean out all those drawers filled with junk – the ones holding old tapes that replay the things I regret doing and the things that I wish I had done. My personality could use some polish (亮光剂) as well – the ability to listen more than I talk. Glass cleaner (玻璃清洁剂) would be a good idea too – something to give me a clearer view of the things that matter and the things that don’t. Cleaning is rarely my first choice of activity, but I’m ready to go and do what needs to be done. Here’s to a fresh start and a new year. 【1】What can we learn about the author’s mother according to the article? A.She prefer rainy days to sunny days. B.She couldn’t bear anything to be unorganized in her house. C.She required her daughters to wash their own bedding. D.She ask her husband to do the housekeeping during her surgeries. 【2】What does the author think about her childhood? A.She has forgotten it B.It was painful for her. C.It was full of happiness. D.She was spoiled by her mother. 【3】Why does the author decide to do some housekeeping herself? A.She see it as a chance to improve herself and move on. B.She wants to help reduce her mother’s burden. C.She is quite bothered by her messy house. D.She thinks it’s time to learn some life skills. 【4】The author wrote this article mainly to ______ A.give advice on how to clean the house. B.inspire people’s thought and plan for the new year. C.share the story of her mother’s strength. D.recall her mother sisters and father. |

Ever since it was created 30 years ago, The Simpsons, the longest running prime-time(黄金时段) TV show in the country, has become part of US life. So when TV critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz ranked the 100 greatest comedies and dramas broadcast in the US ,it came as no surprise that The Simpsons was their top choice. This was the show that changed the very concept of cartoons in Western society. Before it appeared, cartoons were considered a way to learn and have fun, not serious adult entertainment. The Simpsons changed this. The genius of the show is that it has something to offer both adults and children. It’s a hugely entertaining program that’s also full of satire(讽刺的) and clever humor.A remark by Chitra Ramaswamy in The Guardian gave a sense of the esteem(敬重) in which The Simpsons is held:“Nothing before or since has match its capacity to be at once so profoundly clever and so unbelievably stupid.” The show’s creators make fun of the US government, social customs, and of course, the idea of family life. But unlike most classic US prime-time TV characters the Simpsons are a dys-functional(功能失调的) family. Bart, the boy, is always in trouble---both at home and at school. That may be in part because of his paternal example. Homer Simpson, perhaps the most iconic(标志性的) character, is a beer-swilling, overweight slob（懒汉） who is normally found in front of the TV. And Marge, Homer’s wife and the mother of the family, spends most of her time cooking, cleaning or trying to fix the messes that Bart and Homer make. The smartest member of the family is daughter Lisa, who does well in school but is no goody-goody(讨好卖乖的人)---Lisa never misses an opportunity to challenge authority. The youngest member of the family is baby Maggie, who will likely be as much of a handful as her brother and sister when she grows up. But although the Simpsons are a problem family, viewers are always on their side. One of the reasons why the show has remained so popular all these years is that the characters are so lovely. Millions of us identify with them. They are a working class family struggling to make ends meet. They aren’t perfect, but then, who is? And after 30 years, this is still what strikes a chord （引起共鸣）with millions of viewers worldwide. 【1】According to the article , The Simpsons___________. A.is suitable for both adults and kids. B.reminds people of their sad children. C.is a program designed only for fun. D.is difficult to understand for many people. 【2】Which of the following statement is TRUE about the Simpson family according to the article? A.They all show great support to the government. B.Bart and Lisa are the troublemakers of the family. C.They are an ordinary family with many problems. D.The children regard Homer as their role model. 【3】According to the article,viewers like the Simpsons mainly because________. A.they have the courage to challenge authority. B.their lives and problems are similar to real people’s. C.they teach viewers how to fix problems. D.they are a happy and perfect family. 【4】What is the article mainly about? A.Reasons behind The Simpsons’ lasting popularity. B.The most popular characters in The Simpsons. C.Changes to The Simpsons over the years D.What kind of stories The Simpsons tells. |

Staying up late is a potential battle between parents and kids. But the solution could be as simple as changing your meal time. Researchers at the University of Surrey, UK, found that delaying meals could help change one of the internal body clocks. Besides a “master” clock in the brain, there are clocks in other parts of the body. They are usually synchronized（同步的）according to factors including light. During the study, researchers teased 10 participants to study the effect of changing meal times on their body clocks. The participants were given three meals -breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the first stage, participants received breakfast 30 minutes after walking .Lunch and dinner followed, after 5-hour interval（间隔）.In the second stage, each meal was delayed by 5 hours. Right after each stage, blood and fat samples were collected. Results showed that later meal times greatly influenced blood sugar levels. A 5-hour delay in meal times caused a 5-hour delay in the internal blood sugar rhythms. The discovery showed that meal times are in line with the body clock that controls blood sugar levels. This is a small study but the researchers believed the findings could help jet lag sufferers and night-shift workers. In a study by the University of Surrey in 2013,researchers explored what happened when a person’s body was changed from a normal pattern to that of a night-shift worker’s. After people work through the night, over 97 percent of the body’s rhythmic genes are disrupted. These findings explain why we feel so bad following a long flight, or after working at night, according to Simon Archer ,one of the study’s researcher. “It’s like living in a house. There’s a clock in every room in the house and in all of those rooms those clocks are now disrupted, which of course leads to chaos（混乱）in the household,” fellow researcher Der-Jan Dijk told the BBC. Changing meal times didn’t affect the “master” body clock -the one controlling when we get sleepy-but it can reset the body clock that controls blood sugar levels. This wouldn’t necessarily cure jet lag completely, but it might reduce the negative effects. A study published earlier this year suggested that just a weekend camping trip could be enough to reset our body clocks. And now this latest research shows regular food schedules could play a key part too. 【1】What did researchers at the University of Surrey find from their new study? A.Connections between the “master” clock and clocks in other parts of the body. B.A delay in meal times causes an irregular change in blood sugar rhythms. C.Changing meals times can be enough to reset one of our body clocks. D.Blood sugar levels are affected by when we eat rather than by our internal clocks. 【2】What can we know about the new study? A.The internal between each meal being given was different. B.Each meal was served five hours later during the second stage. C.Participants were asked to report their feelings after each stage. D.Blood and fat samples of the two groups of participants were collected. 【3】What can we learn from the study by researchers at the University of Surrey from 2013? A.All our body’s genes would be disrupted if we worked through the night. B.A disruption to the body’s rhythmic genes can cause people to feel bad. C.The disruption of one gene could lead to the disruption of other genes. D.Our genes often become less active after a long flight or night of work. 【4】According to the article,________________. A.there is more than one way to reset body clocks. B.it’s impossible to reduce the negative effects caused by jet lag or night work. C.the “master” body clock controls all the other body clocks. D.a change in meal times can reset the “master” body clock. |

Recently, I’ve been following a simple rule that is helping me crush procrastination(拖延症) and making it easier for me to stick to good habits at the same time．【1】 There are two parts to the 2-Minute Rule… Part 1—If it takes less than two minutes，then do it now． 【2】 For example，washing your dishes immediately after your meal，tossing the laundry in the washing machine，taking out the garbage，sending that email，and so on． If a task takes less than two minutes to complete，then follow the rule and do it right now． Part 2—When you start a new habit，it should take less than two minutes to do． Can all of your goals be accomplished in less than two minutes? Obviously not．But，every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less．【3】 It might sound like this strategy is too basic for grand life goals，but I beg to differ．The 2-Minute Rule works for big goals as well as small goals because of the inertia(惯性)of life．【4】 I love the 2-Minute Rule because it embraces the idea that all sorts of good things happen once you get started． The most important part of any new habit is getting started—not just the first time，but each time．It’s not about performance，it’s about consistently taking action． I can’t guarantee whether or not the 2-Minute Rule will work for you．【5】 Anyone can spare the next 120 seconds．Use this time to get one thing done．Go． A．I call this little strategy the “2-Minute Rule”． B．And that’s the purpose behind this little rule． C．Here’s what you need to know to stop procrastinating． D．Once you start doing something，it’s easier to continue doing it． E．But，I can guarantee that it will never work if you never try it． F．The goal is to make it easier for you to get started on the things you should be doing． G．It’s surprising how many things we put off that we could get done in two minutes or less． |
