Getting and staying focused can be a challenge even in the best of times. But with everything going on in the world, concentrating can often feel down-right impossible. Below are some tips to help you find your flow.
Distract（使分心）your brain. Schedule into every workday some breaks from all that focusing and allow your mind to travel into what's called the"default（默认的）mode network"for a bit of freestyle activities. 36 . It's the place where our minds find innovation and creativity and often make better decisions than the focused mind.
37 . This involves first turning your attention inward. Try traveling with your mind to someplace enjoyable— maybe it's a walk through an imaginary forest or sunbathing on a warm sandy beach. Doing this several times a day can offer your mind a fresh approach to the job at hand.
Block interruptions before diving into deep work. 38 . To help, turn off text messaging, notifications and social media alerts. Be vital when you want a deep dive into focus. Your important work benefits when you shut off or put away your phone and other screens.
Know your body clock. Whether you are sharp in the morning or a night owl, don't spend your day-in particular your peak brain hours—doing busywork. 39 .
Try new hobbies. Engaging in hobbies not only is fun but can help us come up with new solutions to problems we' re facing at work or home. 40
A. Try to daydream what happened
B. We try to obtain focus but in vain
C. Engage in positive constructive daydreaming
D. Instead, reserve your best brain time for the big stuff
E. This network of the brain circuit is where magic happens
F. Our days are filled with distractions, from others and ourselves
G. Allowing your mind time to play is another way to invite innovation

Four Ways to Beat the Monday Blues
Are you feeling down because the weekend is almost over Take it easy, and you can try the following ways to help you overcome the Monday Blues.
Make a list for your next week.
Instead of focusing on difficult tasks that lay ahead of you, think about all the good to come. 36 A good place to start is to think of one thing you are excited about for each category: at work, after work, and at the weekend. If it’s hard to come up with three things to look forward to, get planning ASAP! We’re not talking about anything difficult, just simple things that uplift you like meeting a friend for coffee.
37
Sleep has a tremendous effect on our mood. According to Harvard Medical School, “poor or inadequate sleep can cause stress, while healthy sleep can enhance well-being.” So, if you find yourself a little more short-tempered than normal, sleep may be the answer. 38 It’s worth taking this into account on Sunday to avoid a lack of energy on a Monday morning.
Choose your favorite clothes.
39 In fact, psychologists conclude that the strong link between clothing and mood suggests we should put on clothes that we associate with happiness, even when feeling low. In short, wearing whatever you like on Monday makes you feel great!
Arrange some easy tasks.
After a weekend of fun and taking it easy, it might be best to keep Monday’s schedule a little lighter than other days. This doesn’t mean sitting around and drowning in your blues. It means that instead of facing the most complicated stuff on a Monday, put some time into the easier tasks. 40
A. Form a routine of daily life.
B. Go to bed early on Sunday night.
C. Don’t underestimate the power of a suit.
D. Reduce Monday Blues by allowing yourself to do Monday with ease.
E. Putting less pressure on yourself is a good way to beat the Monday Blues.
F. Take a nap to energize or get to bed earlier tonight to make up for lost sleep.
G. Make a list by writing out some things that you are currently looking forward to.

第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The age of space exploration started on April 12, 1961, when the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to journey to outer space. But why do we go to environments that are dangerous and even deadly to humans The answer is simple. 36 In this article, we’ll read the major four benefits of space exploration.
Promote the progress of medicine
37 For example, analyzing the effects of zero-gravity (零重力) on blood flow led to many discoveries on how to prevent some heart illnesses. The experiments and measurements of bone strength and bone loss in astronauts have helped doctors better understand bone diseases.
Develop new technologies
The space race has birthed the most technological advancements in the shortest period of time. 38 For example, the running shoes were originally developed for astronauts. We use them in our day-to-day lives without even knowing that some NASA engineers originally developed them for the Apollo program that took humankind to the moon.
Start space tourism
The biggest dream some of us have is being able to take a trip to outer space. However, it is still too expensive to go to space. As reusable rockets improve, the costs of these trips will become significantly lower. 39
Inspire the next generation
Space exploration stimulates the curiosity of children. 40 Not only is this good for them as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) jobs can secure them a comfortable future, but it also helps humans.
A. Technologies have advanced considerably.
B. It gets students interested in science and technology.
C. Hopefully one day they’ll be within the reach for all of us.
D. These include stepping up cooperation in space exploration.
E. The benefits of space exploration go beyond the dangers of it.
F. Studying the effects of space travel can lead to some medical benefits.
G. Throughout the years, companies have found consumer uses for many of these developments.

●Stop worrying about the outcome.
37 But not every conversation will lead to a new friend. It is completely normal to feel nervous about the idea of striking up a conversation with someone you don't know. For many people, it can be difficult to overcome the fear of saying something wrong. Remember that real conversations can lead to increased self-confidence and lasting friendships.
● 38
Remember that being true to yourself is more important than what strangers think. Who you are is no less important than who anyone else is. Every person has their own story and journey, and yours is just as important as anyone else's. 39
●Don't share too much too quickly.
It can sometimes be easy to share a little too much information about yourself, especially if you are excited or anxious when engaging with strangers. 40 Remember that you are simply striking up small talk with someone, not trying to turn them into your instant best friends.
