Long ago, people believed that in the future we would work less, have more free time and get more relaxed. 1.
Today we work harder, work longer hours and have more stresses than ten years ago. We walk faster, talk faster and sleep less than previous generations. And although we use machines that save us time, we have less free time than our parents and grandparents. 2. An American journalist James Gleick in a new book, says that people are suffering from “ hurry sickness” --- we’re trying to do more things in less time. As a result, our lives are stressful. He says that if we don’t slow down, we won’t live as long as our parents. 3.
Newspaper articles today are shorter and the headlines are bigger. Most people don’t have enough time to read the articles, so they only read the headlines. On TV and the radio, newspapers speak more quickly than ten years ago. In the USA, there is a book called One-Minute Bedtime Stories for children. These are shorter versions of traditional stories, specially written for “busy parents” who want to save time! Some answer phones now have “quick playback” buttons so that we can replay people’s messages faster--- we can’t waste time listening to people speaking at the normal speed! 4. Ten years ago when people went to art galleries they spent seconds looking at each picture. Today they spend just three three seconds! Nowadays, many people prefer faster and dynamic sports like basketball.
5. Our cars are faster but the traffic is worse, so we drive more slowly. We spend more time sitting in our cars, feeling stressed. Experts predict that in ten years the average speed on the road in cities will be only 17 km/h.
A.People didn’t feel stressed ten years ago.
B.But unluckily, this has not happened yet.
C.Even when we relax we do everything more quickly.
D.But what is this doing to our health?
E.For most people, being faster doesn’t mean being better.
F.The only thing that is slower than before is the way we drive.
G.Now everything is faster than before, which bring us more convenience.

It is thought that we won’t go shopping because many goods are available on the Internet.There will be no more books because all books will be available from electronic libraries.The Internet will be used to book holidays, rent films and order food. Most telephone calls will be made over the Internet as well. Some people are excited about these new developments.Others, however, do not think that computers will replace our present ways of shopping and communicating.
Is Internet shopping as much fun as traditional shopping ? Many people say it is not. It is fun to go into shops and look at the goods in person.

Not long ago, many people believed that babies only wanted food and to be kept warm and dry. Some people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. But doctors in the United States now say babies begin learning on their first day of life.
A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other people.
The researchers say this ability to learn exists in a baby even before birth. They say newborn babies can recognize and understand sounds they heard while they were still developing inside their mothers.
Experts say the first three years of a child’s life are the most intensive period of language and speech development. This is the time when the brain is developing. Language and communication skills are believed to develop best in an environment that is rich with sounds and sights. Experts say babies should repeatedly hear the speech and language of other people.
America’s National Institutes of Health says evidence suggests there are important periods of speech and language development in children. The ability to learn a language will be more difficult if these periods pass without early contact with a language.
The first signs of communication happen during the first few days of life, when a baby learns that crying will bring food and attention. Research shows that most children recognize the general sounds of their native language by six months of age. By that time, a baby usually begins to make sounds. These sounds become a kind of nonsense speech over time.
1.When does the author think babies begin to learn? (no more than 9 words, 2 marks)
________
2.Why do babies smile to please her mother or other caregiver? (no more than 9 words, 2 marks)
________
3.According to experts, how can babies’ language and communication skills develop? (no more than 8 words, 3 marks)
________
4.What does the author mainly tell us? (no more than 8 words, 3 marks)
________

The idea that I would be rewarded if I worked hard enough was deeply rooted in me.So I spent long hours in the lab,steadily filled pages in my notebook,and was praised for my hard work.When my experiments didn’t produce the exciting results they were expected to,I thought I just needed to work more.1.I didn’t know what to do.It was late in the evening.One other person was still in the lab:A postdoc(博士后),who noticed my situation,came over and gently asked how I was doing I told him about my struggles with the experiment and that I felt like a failure. 2.After we talked through the experiment,the postdoc said,”I think it's time to go home and get some sleep”He added with a smile,”Taking a break is also hard work,you know?”
Those comments planted the seed of a new approach:novel ideas do not come from a mind constantly under pressure.My best ideas and”aha”moments almost always come after I allow my mind to relax-whether that’s playing video games with my brother,cooking a nice dinner,or going on long hikes with my wife.3.
Today,a decade after that eye-opening evening in the lab.I try to pass this mindset on to my own students.Not too long ago in the lab one night,I walked by one of my students.I gently asked how she was doing.With a defeated look,she responded that the plan for the experiment refused to work,again,despite many attempts.I couldn’t help but see myself all those years ago.4.I asked her why we do what we do.Often it comes down to pursuing curiosity and passion.
How can we foster that spirit? 5.Work-life balance is not a harmful thing to excellent research,or an optional bonus,but a fundamental pan of it.
A.So I worked even harder,ignoring the result.
B.Part of working smarter,I realized,call be taking a break.
C.The answer does not include working ourselves to exhaustion.
D.By striking a balance between working hard and getting some sleep.
E.I didn’t tell him that I was also wondering what was wrong with me.
F.Yet here I was,working harder than ever-but not getting anywhere.
G.We talked for a while about academic life and what it means to be a researcher.
