One day，I received a call from a colleague.He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem，while the student claimed a perfect score.I was elected as their arbiter(仲裁人)．I read the examination problem，“Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer(气压计)．”The student had answered，“Take the barometer to the top of the building，attach a long rope to it，lower it to the street，and then bring it up and measure the length of the rope.The length of it is the height of the building.”
The student had really answered the question completely，but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics.I suggested the student try again.I gave him six minutes to answer the question，warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics.Five minutes later，he said he had many answers and dashed off one，which read“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof.Drop the barometer，timing its fall with a stopwatch.Then，use the physical formula(公式)to calculate the height of the building.”
At this point，my colleague had to accept it，and then the student made almost full marks.I couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were.He listed many others，and then added，“Probably the best one is to take the barometer to the administrator and say to him，‘Sir，here is a fine barometer.If you tell me the height of the building，I will give it to you.’”
Then，I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question.He admitted that he did，but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.
The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world.He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922.
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了一个学生不按老师的要求解答物理题，但最终获得诺贝尔物理学奖的故事。

C．the teacher didn't fully understand his answer
D．his answer didn't show his knowledge of physics

【答案】 D

Ⅱ.阅读理解
As a boy growing up in India，I had longed to travel abroad.I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s，with great interest.
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe，where my father was to attend a meeting.We planned to travel to Belgium，Netherlands and West Germany.
I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad.I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand，during the flight to Frankfurt.We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew.The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable，even for someone like me，who is otherwise scared of flying.
After spending almost two weeks in Europe，we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport，for our return flight.What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河)，it was simply an unforgettable experience.I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation，but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again，with the quality of their service.
Being the first airline to take me overseas，Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart.Even today，I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline.Flying，in general，for me，has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience)．Flying on Lufthansa，however，is something I always have and always will look forward to.

Ⅲ.任务型阅读
Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted (走神) by email，the Internet and other things throughout the day?
“People often lose their concentration when they are bored，of course，but also when they are busy with challenging tasks，”says Peter Bregman.“They sometimes have a feeling to escape from what's difficult or boring，so they jump out，”he says.The part of the brain devoted to attention is connected to the brain's emotional center.Any strong emotion—quarrels with colleagues，problems at home—can interrupt our attention.Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction.
Refocusing is hard for many people.Robert Epstein suggests the following，“Stop and listen to music for a few minutes.Go for a short walk or take a deep breath，where you breathe in deeply，count to five slowly，hold it and breathe out very slowly.”This can“blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your focus”．
Take more control by arranging your time and becoming more aware of your behaviors.“Setting the phone alarm to go off every hour is my way of creating awareness，”Mr.Bregman says，“You have to inform yourself that you've lost focus in order to do something about it.”Starting the day with a to?do list is important，such as when to eat，when to go to the gym or take a walk.But if it's too ambitious(费力的)，you will put yourself in a state of anxiety，which makes it hard for the brain to concentrate.“Choosing three or four things as your priority(优先)for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus，”he says.
