26、I was putting on my boots just now in what the novelists call “a brown study.” There was no urgent reason for putting on my boots. I was not going out, and my slippers were much more comfortable. But something had to be done. I wanted a subject for an article. Now if you are accustomed to writing articles for a living, you will know that sometimes the difficulty is not writing the article, but choosing a subject. It is not poverty you suffer from, but an embarrassment of riches.
But what has this to do with putting on my boots? It is a reasonable question and I will tell you. For an hour I had paced my room in my slippers in search of a subject. I had looked out of the window over the sunlit valley, and watched the smoke of a distant train disappearing towards the west. I had sharpened every pencil I had on me with great care. But the more I sharpened my pencils, the more anxious I grew about the theme for an article.
It was at this moment that I remembered my boots. The act of bending my body changed the current of the blood. You saw things in a new light. So I fetched my boots and sat down to put them on.
The thing worked like a charm. For in my preoccupied condition I picked up my right boot first. Then mechanically I put it down and seized the left boot. And then the fact flashed on me that all my life I had been putting on my left boot first. If you had asked me five minutes before which boot I put on first, I should have said that there was no first about it; yet now I found I was in a habit so fixed that the attempt to put on my right boot first affected me. The thing couldn’t be done. And then came into my mind that fascinating book of Samuel Butler’s on Life and Habit. Yes, certainly, here was a subject that would “go.” I took out a pencil, seized some writing paper, and sat down to write on “The Force of Habit.”
【1】By “It is not poverty you suffer from, but an embarrassment of riches.” in paragraph 1, the author means _____.
A．some subjects are too complicated or embarrassing to write on
B．poverty is no longer a problem nowadays, but embarrassment is
C．poor people don’t encounter as many embarrassments as the rich
D．there’re so many subjects that it’s hard to decide which to choose
【2】Why did the author sharpen his pencils with great care?
A．To help himself promote thinking.
B．To draw what he saw out of the window.
C．To write his article more smoothly.
D．To relieve himself of anxiety about writing.
【3】Putting on the boots helped the author _____.
A．get rid of his fixed habit
B．lower his blood pressure
C．see things from a new angle
D．free his preoccupied mind
【4】The passage is mainly about the author’s _____.
A．personal attitude towards habits
B．daily routines as a professional writer
C．writing process of a special article
D．decision making on the theme for an article
27、Among rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.
In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America, which increase the rewards to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.
Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (国内生产总值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.
It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in interest. It is too early to explain the different trends（趋势）in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance?
【1】From the text we know that the author___________.
A．believes that longer working hours is better
B．prefers shorter working hours to longer ones
C．says nothing certain about which pattern is better
D．thinks neither of the patterns is good
【2】Which of the following countries has more of its people at work?
A．Spain.
B．France.
C．Germany.
D．America.
【3】In the last paragraph, the underlined word “which” refers to ______.
A．family life
B．situations
C．other values
D．trends
【4】What message can we get from the text?
A．The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.
B．Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.
C．People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.
D．Americans are happier than Europeans.
【5】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．Americans and Europeans
B．Staying at Home
C．Work and Productivity
D．Work and Happiness
28、How to “Speed-read” Body Language
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, social distancing has dramatically changed the way we interact with each other, especially when it comes to non-verbal communication.
Wearing a face mask has quickly become the norm—and that will likely remain for the foreseeable future. 【1】 , it can be difficult to tell what a person is thinking and feeling. How can we better read body language, now that we’re wearing masks? Part of the answer lies in the question itself. Too of- ten, we put all our focus into people’s faces, when we should also be observing the movements of their en- tire upper bodies. This is especially important today, since we do a lot of social interacting through video platforms, where we see each other mostly from the waist up. Body language is an outward reflection of a person’s emotional condition. 【2】 .
Touching the neck
If someone is touching their “neck dimple”(the visible indentation at the middle-front of their neck), it could mean they’re distressed or insecure. 【3】 , try to comfort them or ease their anxiety.
Rubbing the chest
【4】 . If someone is rubbing the upper part of their chest with a palm of a hand(or even just the fingers), it can indicate discomfort or concern. I recently found myself doing this when discussing a family-member’s health.
Tilted head
Head movements can go a long way toward showing whether or not someone is fully engaged, especially during video conference calls. A slightly tilted head displays awareness and attentiveness. And, when combined with a few nods, it can show approval of what’s being said or heard.
【5】
We often squint our eyes when we’re trying to focus our vision on something that’s far away. But squinted eyes and a furrowed “glabella”(the part of the forehead above and between the eyebrows)can also be a sign of disagreement or confusion.
A．This is another sign of stress and anxiety
B．If you notice someone doing this
C．Wearing a mask is a normal part of being around other people
D．Slow your movements
E．Here are some tips on how to speed-read it
F．Squinted eyes
G．But with nearly half of the face hidden
29、Madame Curie, the youngest of five children, was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1867. Marie Curie’s maiden name was Manya. Her parents were teachers, and she learned the importance of education at an early age. No higher education was offered to women in Poland at that time, so Manya took a job as a governess (女家庭教师). She sent part of her income to Paris to help pay for her older sister’s medical studies. Her sister qualified as a doctor and married a fellow doctor in 1891. Manya went to join them in Paris, changing her name to Marie. She entered the Sorbonne (now the Universities of Paris) and studied physics and mathematics, graduating at the top of her class. For the research she wanted to do, she was introduced to another young scientist, Pierre Curie. Later they fell in love with each other. After their marriage, they worked together on radioactivity.
Fame troubled Marie Curie and also her husband, because science was their world and in this world of science fame and honor to persons had no value. One day when a writer for a newspaper tried to ask Marie about herself and her thoughts and her beliefs, she answered him, “In science we must be interested in things, not in persons.” Much of the real character and spirit of this unusual woman was found in these few words, which she was later often to repeat. One evening, at a big party, a friend asked if she would like to meet the King of Greece, who was also a guest. She answered in her simple manner, “I don’t see the value of it.” Then, seeing that she had hurt the feelings of her friend, she quickly added, “But …but…of course, I shall do whatever you please. Just as you please.”
