A
On Nov.18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him. He was stricken with polio (小儿麻痹症)as a child, and so he walks with the aid of two crutches.
The audience sat quietly while he makes his way across the stage to his chair and begins his play. But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars, one of the strings on his violin broke. We thought that he would have to stop the concert. But he didn't. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again.
Of course, anyone knows that it is impossible to play a pleasant work with just three strings. I know that, and you know that, but that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that.
When he finished, there was a breathtaking silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered. There was an extraordinary outburst of applause from every corner of the auditorium.
He smiled, wiped the sweat from his brow and then he said—not proudly, but in a quiet, holy attitude —“You know, sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”
This powerful line has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it. And who knows? Perhaps that is the meaning of life—not just for artists but for all of us.
So, perhaps our task in this fast- changing, puzzling world in which we live is to make music, at
first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.
21. What made Itzhak Perlman's performance at the concert special on Nov.18, 1995? A. He was played an operation. B. He was late for the stage.
C. He had a quarrel with the audience. D. His string of violin got broken.
22. Why didn't Itzhak Perlman accept the fact on the stage? A. He was a person of self pride.
B. He thought the audience didn't see that.
C. He decided to succeed with fewest conditions. D. He didn't see the string get broken at all.
23. Why did the audience give heated claps to Itzhak Perlman? A. They were moved by his disease. B. They were moved by his spirit. C. They were laughing at his action.
D. They were encouraging him to cheer up. 24. What is the best title for the passage?
A. When you lose the most important thing B. How can you give it up easily? C. Playing a violin with three strings D. Playing a violin to yourself
B
For years, mobile phones weren't much to look at. The screens were small, and users needed to press the same key several times to type a single letter in a text. Then, the first iPhone was released. Within six years, most people owned a smartphone—accepting the new technology perhaps faster than ever. It suddenly became very easy to predict what most people would be doing in public
places.
Today, smartphones seem indispensable. They connect us to the Internet, give us directions, allow us to quickly fire off texts and can even help you find the last hotel room when your plane is grounded by a dust storm. Yet research has shown that this convenience may be coming at a cost.
In the beginning, smartphone users would stay together, sharing what was on their phones. As time has gone on, there's been less of that and more of what we call the alone together phenomenon. Then you become attracted by the world on the screens. This is the new normal: Instead of visiting someone, you text them. Instead of getting together for dinner with friends to tell them about your recent vacation, you post the pictures to Facebook. It's convenient, but it cuts out some of the interaction (互动）that, as social animals, we want.
One study asked college students to report on their mood five times a day. It was found that the more they had used Facebook, the less happy they were. Frequent smartphone users asked to put their phones face down on the table grew increasingly anxious as time passed. According to another study, people whose partners were more frequently distracted(分心的）by their phones were less satisfied with their relationships and were more likely to feel depressed.
Smartphones are a tool, and like most tools, they can be used in positive ways or negative ones. In moderation, smartphones are a convenient technology. Yet a different picture has also appeared over the past decade: Interacting with people face to face usually makes us happy. Electronic communication often doesn't.
25. What's the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2 ? A. Expensive. B. Necessary. C. Fashionable. D. Unusual. 26. According to the passage, in the long run, smartphones will __________. A. make you feel happier
B. have greater benefit than harm
C. change your understanding of the world D. lead to less face-to-face communication
27. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that frequent use of smartphones__________. A. can be harmful to people's mental health B. help improve people's social skills C. reduce people's interest in Facebook D. make people become independent
C
I love sleeping. It’s something I’m good at. There’s nothing better than nodding off on the sofa in front of the TV and when my head hits the pillow at night, I have no problem falling into a deep sleep within minutes. There is one place where I never nap(打盹) and that’s work – but new research suggests I should!
The idea of you and your colleagues(同事) heading off for a lie-down in the afternoon may seem strange, but some companies such as Google and Facebook actually encourage it. Because it’s thought that a power-nap makes them more refreshed and more focused, and this in turn makes them more productive.
An Australian health writer called Victoria is a founder of a campaign called Nap Now which is trying to make sleeping at work more acceptable. She calls herself a “naptivist”! She says: “I think that our culture is a bit crazy not to accept it. It’s time to end the common work principle which is all about working longer and harder.”
