24、
Do you ever feel like your thoughts are going around in circles? One minute, you’re thinking about your homework. The next minute , you’re thinking about your plans for the weekend.
Is it possible for us to slow our thoughts down or even stop them completely? It depends on your definition(定义)of “thinking”, according to Michael Halassa, a researcher at MIT, US. We basically go through each day in one of the two states(状态)—we either realize that we are thinking or we don’t. Our brains won’t stop thinking completely until we die.
“The brain never actually stops ‘thinking’ in a broader sense. Most thoughts are actually in the background without us noticing them and there’s not really a way to turn these things off.” Halassa said. Human brains can unconsciously process(无意识地处理)about 11 million pieces of information per second, according to Forbes.
You can compare this to how a computer works. Even when you aren’t using your computer while it’s turned on, it is still running operations “in the background”. Your computer, much like your brain, is constantly “thinking”, even if you’re not actively using it.
Some researchers have referred to this phenomenon(现象)as “thought-chatter”. It describes all kinds of thoughts that pop(出现)in and out of our mind at different times during the day, according to Steve Taylor, a psychology lecturer.
Some thought-chatter can be enjoyable, such as daydreaming. Albert Einstein came up with his famous theory of relativity(相对论)while daydreaming at work. “But too much though-chatter can make us feel too anxious or worried,” Taylor said. “Meditation(冥想)can help us clean up some of this thought-chatter.
【1】The writer introduces the topic to readers by ______.
A.explaining the topic
B.reminding readers of a situation
C.making a conclusion
D.giving the answer to a question
【2】Michael Halassa thinks ______.
A.humans can control their brain completely
B.humans can always realize their brain is working
C.human brains always process information consciously
D.humans sometimes don’t realize their brain is working
【3】Which is TRUE about “thought-chatter”?
A.It can be reduced by meditation.
B.It is the background noises we hear.
C.It always helps us come up with new ideas.
D.It is considered as enjoyable as daydreaming.
25、Each year, the famous Oxford Dictionaries chooses its Word of the Year. The word is carefully chosen depending on how popular it is and how well it explains the year. However, this year they didn’t actually choose a word at all. Instead, they chose a “face with tears(眼泪) of joy” emoji (表情符号).
This was the world’s most used emoji in 2015, according to research done by the Oxford University Press. It made up 20 percent of all emojis used in the UK and 17 percent of those used in the US.
Emojis started from Japan in the 1990s. Through the years, the simple, small pictures have changed the way people communicate online. According to New Yorker magazine, a survey in 2013 showed that 74 percent of people in the US and 82 percent in China had used emojis. About 6, 000,000,000 emoji pictures are flying around the world every day through messages. Although some worry that emojis will make people’s language skills weak, fans say they are fun and help them express their feelings more easily.
“Emojis are no longer just for sending messages to teenagers. Instead, they have become a kind of expression, which can cross language barriers (障碍),” Oxford Dictionaries said in a statement, explaining their uncommon choice. “Emoji culture has become so popular that emojis have their own way and stories.”
Some even think emojis can take the place of words. Fred Benenson, an American data (数据) engineer, translated American novel Moby Dick into Emoji Dick. The book has even been kept by the US Library of Congress (美国国会图书馆).

26、These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year”between their graduation from school and their university studies. This means they can take a year off to do something else, before they start their studies.

Many parents, teachers and business people agree that travelling can teach important values.
