25、
Are you tired of making so many decisions every day? People may be faced with up to 35,000 choices and a huge number of options (可选择的事物) per day. When tired of decision making, people may depend on fate (命运)—roll a dice or simply flip a coin.
Shall we make choices at random ( 随 机 )? I came to think about the benefits of random decision making when watching a TV show last night. Its main character Sheldon used the dice to randomly order food and drinks in a restaurant. He did this to free up his mind to consider some more important problems. However, his friends question the method’s success. Indeed, this random restaurant order including a large drink was too much for him. Sheldon finally realized that the random result could be improved by reducing options to leave out large drinks. This example suggests that random decision making may not always work well and it’s necessary to reduce the options before rolling a dice in some situations.
In some unimportant decision situations, randomisers make it easier to decide. But how do dice work in more important decision situations? It’s hard to accept the idea of completely depending on a dice. However, this doesn’t mean that dice or coins can’t be of any help at all.
Let me borrow another example from Sheldon. He couldn’t make up his mind when choosing a new TV set from two. His friend Amy asked him to flip a coin. Rather than blindly following the result, however, she suggested checking his emotional reaction. Did he experience happiness or disappointment when faced with the coin’s result? Sheldon’s reaction could be useful to find out which one he truly preferred.
Recently, scientists studied this decision method and found that flipping a coin led people to imagine the two different results more clearly, which resulted in a stronger emotional reaction, and then they recognised hidden preferences and made decisions more easily.
A related study further proved that randomisers simplify the choice process. When using dice, people were less likely to look for additional but unnecessary information about the different options. This helped to speed up their choices.
Taken together, recent research shows surprising benefits of flipping coins and rolling dice as long as people don’t let the results control their choices. Using them but keeping the freedom to be different from the results can speed up the decision process and help solve decision problems.
【1】The first example of Sheldon shows that random decision making .
A.is always effective
B.helps make a good order
C.may work better with fewer options
D.can offer more solutions to important problems
【2】The writer probably agrees that .
A.people should not roll dice or flip coins in important situations
B.people will make better choices when experiencing happiness
C.dice can speed up decision process with unnecessary information
D.reaction to the result of the randomiser may show one’s true preference
【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Follow Your Heart or Your Head?
B.Should You Let the Dice Decide?
C.Listen to Friends, or Roll a Dice ?
D.How Do You Make a Wise Decision?
26、Spending more than two hours a night doing homework leads to better results in English,math and science, according to a major study (by Pam Sammons, England) which has tracked(跟踪) the progress of3,000 children over the past 15 years.
Spending any time doing homework showed advantages, but the influence was greater for the students who put in two to three hours a night, according to the study published by the Department for Education in England.
The scientists who did the research say their study empbasizes(强调) what students actually do rather than how much work the school has set.
Pam Sammons, a professor of education at Oxford University, said that time spent on homework showed the influence of the school-if children were expected to do homework and if they enjoy their subjects. "That's one of the reasons Indian and Chinese children do better.They put more time in it." he added.
It's also reported that students who enjoyed school got better results. "Schools could make sure children had a better experience by improving the school environment, making school work interesting and making children feel supported by teachers." Sammons said.
It is suggested that children aged 5 t0 7 should be set one-hour homework a week, half an hour a night for 7 t0 11-year-olds. Secondary schools were encouraged to set up two hours a night for 14 t0 16-year-olds.
"Head teachers should make their own homework policy(政策)," the government says.

A. In a poster. B. In a magazine.
C. In a storybook D. In an advertisement.
【2】According to the first paragraph, spending doing homework leads to better results in lessons.

27、 One of the most often asked and most controversially (有争议的) answered question is “What should I do when I meet a blind person?” A quick Google search will turn up plenty of answers, which are quite different from each other. So, obviously, there is no general agreement on what to do when you meet a blind person.
There are no special rules or dos and don’ts that can deal with this situation. There is only one principle (原则): Blind people are nothing more or less than people who happen to be blind. As such, it is our own job to take care of ourselves, and we are grateful to no one else for special care or leadership.
The best thing to do is nothing. Don’t suppose you know what we need. If we do need something, we’ll politely let you know.
Forget everything you’ve heard about the blind even if you consider yourself to be an expert. Blind people have plenty to say about “experts”. Especially, forget anything you’ve heard or read about “Ten Things to Do if You Meet a Blind Person”. The advice will probably just cause more embarrassment (尴尬). More of it is made up by sighted people anyway and doesn’t necessarily stand for the blind’s view.
There is completely no way to second-guess the situation by imposing (强加) any preformed ideas. Even if you’ve known other blind people, don’t think you know what to do with every one of them. The thing that often makes us angry is to hear “It’s OK. My mother (sister, cousin, friend) is blind.”
Blind people are as different from each other as any two people on this earth. There are no similarities among us that you can depend on. Even the degree of vision, hearing or touch that we use can be very different. Most blind people do have the same degree of vision, and even the very few of us who are totally blind may use our touch and hearing very effectively.
【1】It can be inferred from the passage that the writer ________.
A.is a blind person
B.hears more clearly than others
C.never asks others for help
D.thinks blind people need special care
【2】According to the passage, which of the following opinions may the writer disagree with?
A.Most blind people can take care of themselves.
B.Blind people aren’t equal to sighted people.
C.Blind people generally dislike those thinking they understand the blind a lot.
D.Each person, blind or sighted, is different from anyone else.
【3】Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A.Never Help the Blind
B.Try to Help the Blind
C.Not Every Help Is Good for the Blind
D.Learn More about the Blind
28、阅读下面短文,根据语境、音标或所给单词的提示,在每个空格内填入一个恰当的词,要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确,使短文意思完整、行文连贯。
Yangzi was a famous scholar (学者). One day, one of his 【1】 (neighbor) lost a sheep and he asked all his friends for help. Yangzi asked the neighbor, “Why do you send so many people out just to look for one lost sheep?” His neighbor explained there 【2】 a lot of branches. After a while, all the people came back, but none of them 【3】 [faʊnd] the sheep. They said, “Each road has branches and each branch has its own branches. We do not know how to make 【4】 choice. So we give up.”
After hearing this, Yangzi kept 【5】 ['saɪlənt] and was lost in thought. His students didn’t understand 【6】 their teacher worried. After all the lost sheep wasn’t 【7】 (he).
Xinduzi, a friend of Yangzi, told the students 【8】 (serious) “Your teacher is worrying about your studies. What has happened reminds him 【9】 the difficulty of learning and researching. In his opinion, if you fail to find the right way of study, you can 【10】 [əˈtʃiːv] nothing, just like those people who tried to find the lost sheep.”
This is the Chinese idiom story “qilu wangyang”. It is used to show the importance of choosing the right direction. It is easy to lose your way when the situation is complex (复杂的).
29、 Shops have all kinds of tricks to get you in their doors, or on their websites, and spending. They are like traps to catch you, the buyer. If you know what those traps are, you can avoid falling into them.
Loss leaders(亏本促销商品)
Step one is to get you into the shop. The_____that they do this is by advertising a product that you need at a crazy low price. The price might even be below cost. They______lose money when you buy that milk or those disapers, but you come in for that. Once in the shop you are sure to get the other things that you want and need, aren’t you? Those are called loss leaders.
The expensive one makes yours seem reasonable
You’re looking for a quality jacket. The one you want costs more than you _____,but right next to it is a very expensive one. Suddenly yours seems pretty reasonable. You decide to buy it____ some people are spending even more money on jackets. You’ve been caught out! The placing of differently-priced items like this is done on purpose.
They give you a place to rest
You are tried from shopping and are thinking of going home. But then you see a bench, or a place to get a cheap coffee or cake. You take a break and then you are_____ to shop again. That is just what is likely to happen. Some shops even provide creches where parents can leave their children in order to shop more easily.
That“99”really ____ people to buy
You probably don’t believe that just because something is priced $9.99 instead of $10 you’ll buy it. But studies have proven that it is true. It is called the “left-digit effect”. Be aware of that when you shop.
Avoid these traps so that you won’t spend too much.
