26、Multitasking—doing several things at a time—was once applauded as the best way to work. But does it actually help you get things done, or does it make you less effective?

【1】 If you can actually do two or more things at one time, that clearly saves time.【2】 And it can fill time that would otherwise be spent poorly.

However, a growing body of research shows that multitasking is not as productive as it appears. It turns out that when most people multitask, they don't actually focus on more than one thing at a time. 【3】But changing your focus constantly uses mental energy that could be spent working. It also causes you to take longer and make more mistakes. In addition, it creates stress. People who try to multitask often end up feeling more anxious and less peaceful than people who don’t.

【4】 A very small group of people—about two percent of the population—excel at multitasking. These people, called supertaskers, are able to work on several things at once without their performance suffering. But experts caution: supertaskers are very rare. The majority of people who think multitasking makes them more productive are fooling themselves.

If you do want to multitask, productivity experts recommend doing it carefully. 【5】.

A．There are some exceptions to the no-multitasking rule.

B．Instead they switch back and forth between concentrating on two or more tasks.

C．Doing things one at a time usually helps people produce better work .

D．To some people, the advantages of multitasking seem obvious .

E．Multitasking actually works against the goal of getting things done.

F．It might also make you feel productive, which can in turn make you happy.

G．Pair a mentally challenging task with a physical task you don’t have to think about.

27、If you’re a thrill seeker, here are several festivals and celebrations from around the world that will get your blood pumping.

Spain: Baby-Jumping

The Spanish village of Castrillo has some interesting ideas about childcare. Since the 17th century, the village has been holding a yearly ceremony in which babies are laid out on mat in the street. Actors dressed as devils then skip over them. It supposedly removes the children’s original sin. Nobody would blame you if you held your breath until the jumping part is over.

Italy: Fruit Battle

If oranges seem harmless to you, that’s probably because nobody has ever thrown one straight at your head. Every year in February the Italian town of Ivrea puts on an orange battle, in which the town overthrow a bad emperor. A horse-drawn cart carrying oranges and players representing the emperor’s evil helpers is drawn into the square. The people on foot have special uniforms. Cuts and hurts are to be expected. The orange juice in a cut is certainly an acquired taste. The battle looks like chaos, but there is an important limit: throwing oranges at the horses is strictly forbidden.

Japan: Extreme Log Ride

Once every six years the Onbashira festival takes place in the Lake Suwa region in Japan. The purpose of the festival is to replace the 16 logs that stand at the corners of the four buildings of the Suwa Grand Shrine. The celebrations begin in the mountains in April when 16 carefully chosen fir trees in the mountains are cut down using traditional logging tools. They are then dragged down to the temple without the use of mechanized equipment. So people have to work in large teams to hold them up mountains and across rivers. The entire journey, usually about 10 kilometers, is dangerous. This can result in many injuries and death.

【1】Why should the actors in Spain dress as devils while skipping over babies?

A．To practise their breath.

B．To make children happy.

C．To challenge themselves.

D．To remove the children’s original sin.

【2】What do the three festivals have in common?

A．They all look like chaos.

B．Cuts and hurts are to be expected.

C．They are all dangerous and thrilling.

D．People should have special uniforms.

【3】Where can we find this passage?

A．Travel magazine.

B．Diary record.

C．Geography booklet.

D．Science report.

28、

In Darrel Gregory’s encouraging picture book I’m Not Very Good at It, a mother suggests a means for her daughter to handle her low self-esteem.

The story centers on a downcast girl, who, when asked to do anything, tells herself, “Okay, but I’m not very good at it.” These words are voiced aloud whether she’s making a birthday card, baking, or helping her mother with a bird house. When her mother asks her why she responds in this manner, the girl replies, “Because that’s what my brain said.” Through a series of playful explanations, her mother advises her to listen to her heart instead. After a few attempts at practicing this new habit, the girl realizes that being good at something----or not!----is not as important as trying.

The story’s repetitive structure emphasizes its therapeutic message about stopping self-doubting talk and about practicing stillness. Though perfectionism and fear of failure are possible explanations for the girl’s behavior, the specific reasons and context for her self-doubt are absent. It is a depersonalized story whose heroine is generic, nameless, and tough to connect with. She is preschool-aged, but is asked to possess great self-awareness about her own personality and to shift her own features----it happens too early for a preschool-aged child, if not idealistic.

Ari Miller’s soft illustrations(插图) make the text vivid. Their detailed home scenes portray the girl’s activities. They are faithful depictions of the story that track the girl’s emotional change through subtle facial expressions. The girl’s mother is left out of these images, though her advice and support is one of the main features of the story.

Sincere in its description of growing past self-doubt, the picture book I’m Not Very Good At It encourages positive outlooks.

【1】What type of writing is the text?

A．A report

B．An advertisement.

C．A review.

D．An announcement.

【2】The word “downcast” in second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____________.

A．confident

B．shy

C．depressed

D．courageous

【3】What can we learn about the story from the passage?

A．The girl follows her heart and grows stronger with few attempts.

B．The mother encourages her daughter to build up self-esteem.

C．Ari Miller’s illustrations describe the mother’s activities.

D．The story just centers on how to practice stillness.

【4】What’s the writer’s attitude towards Darrel Gregory’s book?

A．Indifferent.

B．Supportive.

C．Negative.

D．Critical.

Sustainable fashion, also called eco fashion, is part of the growing design philosophy and trend of sustainability, the goal of which is to create a system which can be supported indefinitely in 【1】 of environmentalism and social responsibility.
