Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. Focus on the one thing you are doing. B. Habits like these which encourage you to multitask make you mentally exhausted and unproductive. C Make sure that you also take breaks in your monotasking, because that' s what helps your brain to stay focused. D. So it' s a win-win for everyone! E The little information we do take in when we' re multitasking is more difficult to remember at a later stage. F. You feel so good that you believe you' re being effective and further encourages your multitasking habit.
Why Do You Find It So Hard to Not Multitask
Most of us do multitasking almost daily. But it' s time to change that. Your attention is already being pulled in millions of directions daily, so you really don' t need to add multitasking to the list. Let' s take the smartphone for example. On average you check your phone 110 times a day—that means you' re spending 23 days every year glued to your smartphone!How productive do you think that makes you 67__________
But it' s hard to let go of these habits because you've conditioned your brain to send misleading signals to your body. Research has shown that when you multitask “successfully”, you activate the reward mechanism in your brain that releases dopamine, the happy hormone. 68 __________. This rush can also make you overly optimistic, which means you are less careful about the work you do and more likely to make mistakes. Multitaskers basically get addicted to this rush which leads them to believe they are being effective when in fact they' re not.
You can find healthier, more balanced dopamine releases through ticking things on your to-do list through mono-, or single-tasking too. Since our brains can only effectively focus on one thing at a time, this is the way for you to accomplish more in less time. Research has suggested you're 50%quicker on average to accomplish a task if you monotask, and you' re also 50%less like to make errors. 69 ________. You'll also be able to appreciate things on a deeper level and get more enjoyment from them when you' re focused. If you' re chatting to a friend over coffee while checking your phone, you' re not making the most out of your time with your friend!
Now you' re probably desperate to find out how to get rid of this multiasking habit so you can find real productivity. There is no easy answer. You simply have to commit to it and have the self-discipline to stick to one task at a time. Just say to yourself: When I walk, I walk. When I talk to someone, I talk to someone.
When I read, I read. It' s as simple as that. 70___________. And like that, you've mastered monotasking.

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Here we show how this work translates to humans. Many college students experience irregular and insufficient sleep. The study evaluated more than 600 first-year students across five studies at three universities. Most surprising to me was that no matter what we did to make the effect go away, it persisted. The results are available in the Feb. 13 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Total nightly sleep is a potentially important and underappreciated behavior supporting academic achievement.
Nightly Sleep Is Key to Student Success
For young adults, college is a time of transition. It may be the first time students have the freedom to determine how to spend their time, but this freedom comes with competing interests from academics, social events and even sleep.
A multi-institutional team of researchers conducted the first study to evaluate how the duration of nightly sleep early in the semester affects first year college students’ end-of-semester grade point average (GPA). Using sleep trackers, they found that students on average sleep 6.5 hours a night, but negative outcomes built up when students received less than six hours of sleep a night. 67
David Creswell, the William S. Dietrich II Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience at the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, led a team of researchers to evaluate the relationship between sleep and GPA.
“Animal studies have shown how critical sleep is for learning and memory,” said Creswell. “ 68 The less nightly sleep a first-year college student gets at the beginning of the school term predicts lower GPA at the end of the term. Lack of sleep may be hurting students’ ability to learn in their college classrooms.”
69 The researchers found that students who receive less than six hours of sleep experienced a pronounced decline in academic performance. In addition, each hour of sleep lost corresponded to (相对应) a 0.07 decrease in end-of-term GPA.
“Once you start dropping below six hours, you are starting to add massive sleep debt that can harm a student’s health and study habits, damaging the whole system,” said Creswell. “ 70 ”
“A popular belief among college students is valuing studying more or partying more over nightly sleep,” said Creswell. “Our work here suggests that there are potentially real costs to reducing your nightly sleep on your ability to learn and achieve in college. There’s real value in budgeting for the importance of nightly sleep.”

Strengthen Bonds With Your New Pet
Welcoming a new pet can be a magical moment for a lot of families. Unfortunately, many new pet owners struggle to bond with them. The following steps may help.
This should go without saying but spending time with your pets can greatly help you form a strong relationship. Pets love to be included in every activity of their humans, whatever the activities are. 67 Cats love playing with yarn (纱线) balls and fishing pole toys. Dogs are outgoing and usually love playing games with tennis balls such as fetch. So it’s also important to learn what type of play your pet enjoys.
Most people forget that training and teaching them tricks is a healthy outlet as well. 68 Whether you’re teaching them simple commands like ‘sit’ or something more complex like ‘turn around’ or ‘bow’, they’re sure to enjoy your company and will love you all the more for your attention, company and praises. Pets also love being rewarded with treats. 69 Moreover, when they begin to anticipate treats for good behaviour, they are more likely to be on their best behaviour, further making you and your pets grow closer.
One more thing to notice is that taking care of a pet can be a wonderful experience and also be quite frustrating. For new pet owners, it can be confusing, especially if you don’t understand what your pet needs or wants at any given time. 70 This might take a day or two, or might take months. But eventually, you will reap what you sow.
A.Training will ease your annoyance as your pets tend to obey more and behave better.
B.Giving them an extra piece of chicken for a job well done is essential for a strong relationship.
C.They usually communicate through body language so you need to pay attention to them.
D.You should always learn to be patient and accept that there will be a period of adjustment.
E.But playtime is still a necessary and effective activity to share fun moments together.
F.The Internet is a good place to figure out how you can train them efficiently.

Directions:Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. While these villages possess undeniable fascination, many remain underdeveloped. B. This effort includes the knowledge exchange between the students and local villagers C. Both were selected for revitalization efforts led by the Village Revitalization Team. D. In Sukarara, a local tradition requires girls master weaving skills before marriage E. They decide to be a bridge between tradition and progress, united for their growth F. It's about preserving the cultural heritage and ensuring traditions being passed down
Students’ Journey to Empower Rural Heritage
From Aug. 18 to 22 a team of 15 Tsinghua University students, representing diverse backgrounds from China, South Korea, Malaysia, and Indonesia, set foot on an overseas research exploration focusing on rural revitalization(振兴) in Indonesian villages, particularly within Nusa Tenggara Barat(NTB).
With the diverse cultural heritage, Indonesia is home to over 83,000 villages, each radiating its own charm and character. 67
The research mission took the students to Sukarara and Sade villages, two of NTB's tourist destinations. 68 Sukarara and Sade are a world apart from the busy cities to which most of us are accustomed. The villages are a living test to Indonesia's rich culture and its devotion to preserving traditions. The Revitalizing these villages goes beyond mere economic development. 69 The weaving skills and architectural techniques of Sukarara and Sade villages are not only beautiful, but they are also an inseparable part to the identity of these communities. It's essential that they strike a balance between progress and preservation.
As the journey came to an end, the students carry with them not only the memories of their experiences there, but also the responsibility to make a positive impact on these remarkable places. 70 They are optimistic that Indonesian villages can experience meaningful development, ultimately leading to increased opportunities for employment and an improved quality of life.

A. Do I even want them On whose clock B. Why should you challenge that secret timeline of milestones in your head C. This time, quitting her job led to her first album, television appearances and sold-out shows. D. Instead of feeling pressure to hit life events on someone else’s timeline, maybe it’s fine to make our own. E.

She spent years feeling like an outsider and failure as she watched her peers rise in school and work, figuring she’d never catch up.
Defining Success on Your Own Terms
“You go to college right out of high school. That’s the rule, right ” says Nikki Ivey, a sales trainer and consultant outside Jacksonville, Fla. However, it’s not the case for her. Actually, she got her undergraduate degree at 28. __67__
One by one, she missed the milestones she’d envisioned in some imaginary dream life: earning six figures by 30, buying a house by 35. Then she hit one—attaining a high-level executive position in a company. She didn’t love the job. She did love sitting around the dinner table laughing with her kids. “__68__” she asked herself. She ended up leaving the job, and started to wonder about all those milestones.
Danielle Ponder had a career as a lawyer before dedicating herself to singing full time. Working as a public defender in Rochester, N.Y., Danielle Ponder would frequently Google, “Did anyone make it after the age of 35 ” At one point, she quit her day job, only to return a year and a half later, due to the pandemic and disappointing bookings. On the last day of 2021, five days before her 40th birthday, she tried again. __69__ “I don’t know if I could survive this happening to me at 19,” she says. She thinks her insecure teen self wouldn’t have handled the stress of the public eye well.
It can be hard to make a transition later in life. __70__
