21、They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time—actually deadlines are. New research from the University of Otago has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short.
Professor Stephen Knowles and his co-authors tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research published in Economic Inquiry. Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey was about charity, the results apply to any situation where someone asks another person for help.
The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.
“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive, postponing it results in lower response rates.”
He says it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”
【1】Why did Professor Knowles do the research?
A．To study more about procrastination.
B．To test the effects of deadlines.
C．To prove the existence of procrastination.
D．To advocate charity donation.
【2】Which situation is least likely to lead to procrastination?
A．A crowd-funding appeal with no deadline.
B．A one-week post-disaster donation.
C．A one-month application for assistance.
D．A charity donation due on a given date.
【3】Why do people procrastinate when given a long deadline?
A．They are unwilling to act.
B．They dislike the deadline.
C．They lack a sense of urgency.
D．They are too busy to remember.
【4】What does Professor Knowles talk about concerning the research in the last paragraph?
A．Its concern.

22、What we know of prebirth training makes all this attempt made by a mother to influence the character of her unborn child by studying poetry, art, or mathematics during pregnancy seem totally impossible. How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child？There is no connection between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child, because it changes the activity of her glands(腺) and the chemistry of her blood. Any chemical change in the mother's blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we cannot see how a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved(溶解) in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.
In our discussion of instincts(本能) we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit(继承) must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study.
As for musical ability, it may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear, a special structure of the hands or the vocal(发声的) organs connections between nerves and muscles. If these factors are all organized around music, the child may become a musician. The same factors, in other circumstance, might be organized about some other center of interest.
The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other fields may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.
【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph？
A. A mother can't help her child become a talented poet just by studying poems during pregnancy.
B. A pregnant mother needn't have prebirth training because of no nervous connection with her child.
C. Mothers' prebirth training is totally unlikely to influence the character of unborn children.
D. An emotional shock to the mother has little effect on her unborn child for their unconnected vessels.
【2】It can be concluded from the passage that a child may not inherit from mother.
A. sensitive ears B. capable fingers C. a knowledge of maths D. intelligence
【3】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？
A. Inherited Talents B. Role of the Environment C. An Unborn Child D. Role of Inheritance
23、We often hear that 60 is the new 50. Just check out the images of your grandparents or greatgrandparents and notice their stooped (曲背的) bodies, their wrinkled faces when they were barely pushing 60. What a contrast with energetic, gymgoing sexagenarians (六十几岁的人) of today !
The research overseen by gerontologist(老年学专家)Taina Rantanen, compared adults born in 1910 and 1914 with those born roughly 30 years later. Both birth groups were examined in person at age 60 and again at 70 with the same set of six physical tests and five measures of cognition(认知).
According to the research, the laterborn group could walk faster, had a stronger hand grasp and could use more force with their lower legs. On cognitive tests, the laterborn group had better verbal fluency, and scored higher on a test matching numbers to symbols. But not everything changed across the generations: measures of lung function were surprisingly not changing, and there was no improvement in the shortterm memory task of recalling a series of figures.
There are many reasons why people are aging better, including improved medical care and a drop in smoking, but the key factor shown in the study of physical function was that the laterborn adults were more physically active and had bigger bodies, which suggested better nutrition. For brain function, the key seemed to be more years of education.
“Education is a powerful influence on aging and health,”says Luigi Ferrucci, scientific director of the U. S. National Institute on Aging. “With more education, you are probably going to have a larger income, which means you are more likely to go to the doctor, and have good nutrition.” He also points out that the average lifespan is seven years shorter in a poor state such as Mississippi than in a wealthier one such as California. “Here we still have lots of people who cannot take the drugs they need because they cannot pay for them,” he says. In short, 60 may be the new 50 for many of us but not for all.
【1】How does the writer begin the passage?
A．By imagining a scene.
B．By presenting an image.
C．By raising a question.
D．By making a comparison.
【2】Which of the following is true about the research?
A．The laterborn group could hardly grasp things tightly.
B．Everything didn’t change across the generations.
C．The laterborn group did worse in matching numbers to symbols.
D．There was a little improvement in shortterm memory in both groups.
【3】According to the research, what contributes most to better physical aging?
A．Better nutrition.
B．Education.
C．Improved medical care.
D．Energetic images.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Many reasons contribute to people’s better physical function.
B．Today’s energetic sexagenarians have much better images.
C．Education is the key to people’s better aging.
D．People today are aging better than people born earlier.
24、Children form opinions about drugs and alcohol at a very early age. Even four and five year olds have definite opinions about alcohol. Preschoolers, because of the commercials they see on TV, often think that alcohol helps people have more fun and be better athletes! Images of alcohol are everywhere in out society—consumption of alcohol is represented twice per hour in daytime shows, and three times in an average evening program.
Despite the wide spread of alcohol in our society, and the problems that can be connected with it, many parents feel uncomfortable when talking about alcohol with their children, or are not sure when and how to start. Many parents believe that teenage drinking is something that their children would never be involved in.
Unfortunately, teenage drinking is very common in North Dakota. In a state wide survey of adolescents in junior and senior high school. Only 24% claimed to have never consumed alcohol. When asked about their drinking in the past 30 days:
·61% adolescents reported drinking
·42% drank five or more drinks in a row
·17% reported binge drinking
·4.2% reported driving and drinking
Other research on rural youth in North Dakota has found that about 10% of a sample of fifth and sixth graders were engaged in frequent drinking. Teenagers who reported alcohol use (especially those who began use in late elementary school and junior high school) were more likely to be depressed, feel less positive about both their family and friends, and have poorer grades.
Research has found that children and even teenagers look to their parents in making decisions about important things in their life. Decisions about using alcohol are undoubtedly something that parents will want to provide guidance about. Here are some suggestions about talking to children about alcohol.
【1】The author’s attitude towards images of alcohol is ___________.
A. negative B. responsible
C. shocking D. positive
【2】We can infer from Paragraph 2 that _____________.
A. many parents don’t realize the seriousness of teenage drinking
B. many parents feel uncomfortable with teenage drinking
C. many children would never be involved in teenage drinking
D. alcohol is a general topic between parents and children
【3】Which of the following is a misguided idea?
A. Teenagers involved in drinking tend to have poorer grades.
B. Teenagers involved in drinking alcohol tend to be better athletes.
C. Teenagers reporting alcohol use are more likely to be depressed.
D. Teenagers reporting alcohol use feel less positive about their family.
【4】What will the article probably talk about next?
A. How to be supportive of your children.
B. Means of teaching children to make important decisions.
C. Advice about talking to children about alcohol.
D. Why teenagers look to their parents in making decisions.
【5】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
