24、A day is made up of hundreds of small decisions. I'll wear this; I'll buy this; I'll have this for lunch; I'll go there at 3 o'clock; I'll reply to this e-mail.
For some people, it's not a big deal. For others, however, making decisions isn't easy. They agonize over what to do, changing their minds back and forth. and second guessing themselves even after the decision has been made.
Emily was in the restaurant with her husband. After several minutes of reading the menu , she said , "Um , let's see. I don't know what to order. Maybe I'll have the burger; no wait, the pasta seems good. Or, maybe the soup and salad. Don, what are you ordering? OK; that sounds good ; I'll have that too. " Don often gets annoyed (恼怒的) .He doesn't understand why she finds the simplest decisions so difficult. He sometimes makes decisions for the two of them. But Emily gets annoyed with him for being so controlling. "But we'd never decide anything if I left it up to you," he argues.
Good decision-making is a skill that comes easily to some people, not so easily to others. Choices are confusing. Choices can make you anxious. They can cost you peace of mind, even after you've made the decision. The skill of good decision-making has become increasingly important. Why? Because we have a lot of choices, both with the simple and the serious things in life.
Decisions force us to close the door on other possibilities. Accept that you can't have it all. You can't order every delicious dish on the menu. And there will be paths not taken, things not experienced. Let the past be. Live in the present where what you do today will make a difference.
It's often good to think through your decisions, but don't overdo it. More thinking is not always better thinking. Too much research may lead to confusion. Sixth sense can help make decisions as good as careful study of endless data(数据) , sometimes even better.
Some decisions don't work out as expected ; this doesn't mean that you made a bad one. You decide to go on a cruise (油轮旅行) . You choose a large and beautiful ship. Everything should work out just right. Only you didn't count on a bug that spread through the ship, making you and your family sick for five clays. You felt terrible for making such a stupid decision. No. You did not make a stupid decision. It's just that sometimes the unexpected happens.
Try to make your decision. After all, it's your special experience.
【1】The words "agonize over" in Paragraph 2 probably mean" ".
A.think about a difficult decision carefully and with lots of effort
B.stick to the big decision that you have made
C.let go of the decision that you have made
D.fear to make decision out of uncertainty
【2】The writer mentioned Emily and her husband in Paragraph 3 to .
A.criticize Emily's husband for controlling
B.show how annoying indecisiveness could be
C.introduce how hard it was to decide what to eat
D.explain the difficulty Emily had when making a decision
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.We should think about all the possibilities before making a good decision.
B.Neither research nor data may help people with decision-making.
C.Sometimes unexpected situation may waste a good decision.
D.People feel terrible when making decisions.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Do you have difficulty making decisions?
B.Are you good at making a difficult decision?
C.Can you make a right decision easily or not?
D.Would you like to make decisions for others?
25、Holmes said, “Somebody sent a letter with five pips (桔核) in it from India, and arrived seven weeks later to kill John’s uncle. Then they sent five pips from Scotland and arrived three days later to kill John’s father. Now they have sent five pips to John from London!”
“The letters are all from sea ports (海港). The writer was on a ship when he wrote the letters,” I replied.
“Very good, Watson! And John’s enemy is in London already!”
“Well, I hope they won’t kill young John,” I said.
But they did. The next morning, we read in the newspaper that a policeman found him die near Waterloo station. Holmes was very angry about it.
“He came to me for help and those men murdered him! I’m going to find them, if it’s the last thing I do!” he said to me, and he hurried out of the house.
At night, when he came back, he was tired, but pleased, he said, “I know the names of John’s enemies! And now I’m going to send them a surprise! This will frighten them!” He took five pips from an orange and put them in an envelope (信封). On it he wrote “S. H. for J. C.”
“I’m sending the pips to captain James Calhoun. His ship is called the Star. He and his men are sailing back to Georgia, USA.”
“How did you find him, Holmes?” I asked.
“Ship’s papers,” he said, “I’ve looked at hundreds of them today. Only one ship, the Star, was in the three ports at the right times, this morning the Star left London to sail back to Georgia. I found out that the captain and two of his men, all Americans, weren’t on the ship last night, so I’m sure they killed John. When they arrive in America, they’ll get the pips and then the police will catch them!”

26、 Are there too many kids obsessed (着迷的) with texting?
Texting Nonstop!
Yes, I do think kids are too obsessed with texting. Many kids I know can be in the same room or even sitting next to each other, but they text each other rather than actually talk with friends, it's hard to get their attention when they are texting. People seem to like to text more than talk.
—Riley
Responsible Texting
No, I don't think too many kids are obsessed with texting. Sometimes kids might just need some time alone on the phone. They probably just need to talk to their friends! I believe most kids are responsible and know when to stop texting.
—Ella
Guilty (羞愧的) About Texting Too Much
Kids are really obsessed with texting. When I text my friends, almost all of them answer in less than a minute. Some of my friends even get their phones taken away for being on them too much. I see my friends most of my day at soccer time or at school, and even I am guilty of texting them several hours a day when I am home. Sometimes it's better to spend time outdoors and with your family rather than with your phone.
—Tom
Get physical Training—Get off the phone!
A lot of my friends, as soon as they got a smartphone, texted or got online constantly. Spending that much time on a screen is not healthy for you or your brain. Personally, I'd rather spend time outside doing sports with my friends than on the phone. You can tell your friends things at school or whenever you see them next time—you don't have to spend all your time texting.
