Dear daughters,
Most parents tell their children, “You can be anything you want when you grow up.” I feel the same and I say this often. But I also want you to understand that the dream itself comes from hard work, some good luck and good timing.
Girls, here are some words of wisdom as you make your way in the world, from an entrepreneur and from your mama.
1. Be open-minded to changing your path (even several times) along the way
In high school, I wanted to be a politician. I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington, DC. There, I discovered that I loved to support women. It taught me that I’m creative, a strong leader and great at marketing. As a result, I moved on to be the head of a national health care nonprofit. Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag business. Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own.
Figure out what you are good at and what you are passionate (充满激情的) about. Keep an open mind; the initial path you choose may lead you into other areas.
Don’ t waste your money or time, but constantly change what you are doing professionally based on what you are learning about yourself.
2. Failure is critical to your success
I won’t tell you to feel good about failure. Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure I’ve had along the way has absolutely made me better.
Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing. I eventually passed, and I’ve never failed an exam again. I learned from that experience to ask for help. Now, I ask for help in business all the time.
Being passed over for a significant job opportunity that I was more than qualified for because of unfair assumptions (being too young for the role) hurt me. I had a three-month pity party. And then I went out and got a big job at a national organization at age 27. It’s okay to get angry! Take that and turn it into positive action.
I’m proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur. I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want and you can have everything on your list. It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes.
Love,
Your Mom

The negative health effects of being economical on sleep during the week can’t be reversed by marathon weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study.
Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation can cause weight gain and increase other heath risks, including diabetes. But for those who force themselves out of bed bleary-eye each weekday after too few hours of shut-eye, hope springs eternal that shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and reverse any ill effects.
The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced metabolic disruption that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of insufficient sleep, those gains were wiped out when people plunged back into their same sleep-deprived schedule the next Monday.
“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they’re gone when you go back to your routine. It’s very short-lived," said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology laboratory at the University of Colorado at Boulder, who oversaw the work. “These health effects are long-term. It’s kind of like smoking once was － people would smoke and wouldn’t see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early phase of where smoking used to be.”
Michael Grandner, director of the sleep and health research program at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, said the study reinforces the concept that people need to stop thinking of sleep as a balance sheet. Imagine a person who ate nothing but cheeseburgers and frenchfries Monday through Friday, but dined only on celery and kale on the weekend and tried to call that a healthy diet, he said.
Drastically cutting calories all week and then bingeing on a giant pizza on Saturday wouldn’t restore balance either. That, he argued, is essentially what people are doing when they skip sleep on weekdays with the idea they can make up for it on the weekend.
Wright said that the study suggests people should prioritize sleep－cutting out the optional “sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic devices. Even when people don’t have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about prioritizing sleep in the same way they would a healthy diet or exercise.
Smoking is mentioned in Paragraph 4 ______.
A. as an example of short-term negative health effects
B. to show how short-lived catch-up sleep benefits are
C. to illustrate the effects of insufficient sleep on people’s health
D. as a lifestyle choice causing immediate effects on people’s health
28. Those skipping sleep on weekdays and catching up sleep on weekends have the same mindset as those who believe that ______.
A. cheeseburgers and frenchfries are healthy diets
B. Saturday pizzas contain a huge amount of calories
C. celery and kale are healthy if eaten on the weekend
D. junk food can be balanced by occasional healthy diets
29. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Weekend recovery sleep absolutely brings benefits to people’s health .
B. To some degree,routine sleep deprivation can cause long-term health risks.
C. Valuing sleep, healthy diets and exercise help people keep fit.
D. Sleep will soon be like smoking as an unhealthy lifestyle choice.
30. The passage is intended to _______.
A. call on people to improve their sleep schedules
B. deny the health benefits of weekend recovery sleep
C. reinforce the negative effects of routine sleep deprivation
D. introduce a new study of the correlation between sleep and health

I was talking recently with my mom when our conversation reminded me of a funny story.
“This is extremely funny,”I said.“One time I was driving with my friend Rudy...”
My mom cut me off impatiently.
“I’ve heard this one before, honey,”she said.“You don't need to tell it again.”
Storytelling is supposed to be a bonding experience. When we share our personal narratives, we disclose something about our values, our history, our outlook on life. The self-disclosure builds closeness and is a signal of faith in the relationship.
But the bonding benefits of storytelling only work if you’re good at it. Many of us, even those who tell stories for a living, are not. We repeat stories we’ve told before. We tell tales that don’t have a point. We fail to pay attention to our audience, choosing stories that are inappropriate or ignoring clues that our listener is bored, annoyed or confused. And we don’t know how to edit ourselves, throwing in every detail we find fascinating, no matter how irrelevant.
“People can’t become engaged with a story that is incoherent,”says Melanie Green, a professor of communication at the University at Buffalo, who has been studying storytelling for 20 years. “They’re too busy trying to figure out what is going on.”
Dr. Green’s new research, which is yet to be published, shows that people who tell stories － as opposed to just delivering facts or opinion are judged by others to be more warm and likable. And her previous research has shown that women find men who are good storytellers to be more attractive and desirable as long-term partners, most likely because storytelling shows a man knows how to connect, to share emotions and, maybe, to be vulnerable.
But 10 new studies by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Georgia found that people who repeat the same stories over and over are viewed as less sincere and less authentic. In other words, they’re seen as not presenting their true self to the listener. The research also found that listeners are less interested in engaging with someone retelling a story they’ve heard him or her tell before.
(Para 10) Scientists now know that a well-told story boosts the release of two key neurochemicals in the brain: dopamine, which focuses our attention, and oxytocin, which helps us bond. This produces a state called immersion, in which a listener is both absorbed by a story and willing to be persuaded, says Paul Zak, a neturoeconomist and professor of economic sciences, psychology and management at Claremont Gradtutate University, in Claremont, Calif., who studies the neurobiology of storytelling. To get listeners to enter a state of immersion, the storyteller needs them to pay attention and to become emotionally engaged in the outcome of the story. This emotional engagement is what increases the listener’s attachment to the storyteller.
Dr. Zak, who is also the CEO of Immersion Neuroscience, a technology company that measures the neurological changes of people going through immersive experiences such as listening to stories or watching movies, says his research has found that all compelling plots share certain elements. They have an exciting start － “It has to be a James Bond opening, some reason for me to want to listen to the story and become absorbed by it,” Dr. Zak says － and then build both emotion and tension quickly. They have characters that are interesting and likable enough that people care about them. And they have action and a satisfying resolution to the tension.
Good storytellers use their voice to convey emotion, passion, drama － all cues that show they really care about the story. Emotional stories － ones that make people laugh or feel moved, touched, angry or outraged － have the most impact, says the University at Buffalo’s Dr. Green. “If it sparks an emotion in you, there’s a good chance it will spark an emotion in your audience,” she says.
The conversation between the author and her mother is quoted to ______.
A. prove that people like to repeat an interesting story
B. show what they usually talk about in their daily life
C. disclose that there is a generation gap between them
D. illustrate that people don’t like to be told a story they’ve heard before
According to the passage, a good storyteller ______.
A. will never repeat a story
B. will make friends with the audience
C. will try to tell a story with as many details as possible
D. will make necessary adjustments while telling a story
Paragraph 10 mainly talks about ______.
A. new findings on storytelling
B. the science behind a good story
C. how to create immersion in your story
D. how to help listeners engage with a story
The underlined word “compelling” probably means ______.
A. very intensive B. very touching C. very absorbing D. very complicated
We can conclude from the passage that______.
A. Listeners will by no means enjoy repeated stories.
B. Men who are good at telling stories are more popular with women.
C. People who tell stories are as attractive as news anchors who report news.
D. People who repeat the same stories may receive criticism from the audience.

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。
It is one of the oldest magic tricks in the book — a magician locks a woman in a box, with her head and feet sticking out from either end, and saws（锯）it in half. But when she finally jumps out of the box the woman is unharmed.
This trick was introduced nearly a century ago. It has been around for some time, but __36__. Why is it so successful? The answer is simple: the human mind is easily fooled.
Our brain processes the world around us based on information that sensory organs（感官）, including the eyes, pick up. For instance, when we see a cow or a horse standing behind a tree, we automatically “fill in” the part of the animal’s body that is hidden from our sight. “So __37__ and it’s generating this rich world by filling in information,” Stephen Macknik told Science magazine.
But since our brains are filling in the gaps, __38__. They tend to be driven by your previous experiences and you expect things to go as they did in the past even if sometimes they do not. This tendency explains magicians’ success in fooling people with well-known coin tricks. For example, when you see a magician throw a coin up and down in one hand and then fake a coin throw to the other hand, you would naturally believe that the coin is in the other hand.
Apart from the information gaps, magicians also use the “blind spots” theory when doing their shows. The most well-known experiment demonstrating this theory is called the “invisible” gorilla, in which volunteers watch a video of two basketball teams. They are asked to count how many times the team wearing white shirts pass the ball. In the meantime, a person dressed as a gorilla walks onto the court. But shockingly, __39__, even when they appear to be looking directly at it.
Magicians employ this tactic (招数)，what they call “misdirection”, in almost every one of their acts. __40__ using comedy and music, which can make us miss stuff during the performance.
A. They direct our attention somewhere else
B. Half of the viewers catch sight of the gorilla
C. Sometimes they get it wrong
D. It never goes wrong
E. Half of the viewers don’t notice the gorilla
F. The brain is taking this kind of little information about the world
G. They hold our attention

Unilever brought its Rexona deodorant(香体露) to China a decade ago, dreaming of a successful market. Wages rising, consumers were spending. More of them, it stood to reason, would be ___41___ to a Western product.
“We had created established markets for Rexona from the ___42___ in many countries, and we did not see any reason why we couldn’t do the same in China,”Frank Brank, Unilever’s ____43___ China head, said by telephone from Dubai, where he now ___44___ as an investment adviser.“We had an extremely ___45___ plan at the time,”Mr. Braeken said.
But cultural differences and simple ___46___ — scientists have shown that many East Asian people don’t have Westerners’ body odor(气味) issues — stopped those plans.

Companies like Apple and Starbucks have prospered(兴旺) in part by ___53___ aspirational （渴望成功的）products to Chinese consumers who want to show the world that they have ___54___ it. That task is tougher for products that nobody sees.
“It has to be something ___55___ or something you can smell,”said Ye Tan, an independent economist in Shanghai.“Deodorant fails partly ___56___ it is invisible.”
The products have their Chinese supporters. Cai Qianyi, a 38-year-old media professional in Beijing, started using deodorant in 2006.

Dear Daniel
My high school life is ___61___ (stress). I try to sleep for a while at noon, but I still get sleepy in the afternoon. What should I do?
Heater
A
Dear Heater,
This is a serious problem. As a teacher, I saw many students sleeping in class, ___62___ (able) to focus — even children!
Let’s look at your lifestyle. Do you stay awake late at night? Do you use your smartphone before bed? Do you have caffeine at night?
First, late nights are a bad habit, even if you’re staying up late ___63___ (study). Research shows that studying ___64___ you’re tired is less effective. ___65___ (lose) sleep makes you too tired in class the next day. You should sleep for seven or eight hours each night.
Next, don’t use your smartphone before bed. The screen keeps our eyes and brains ___66___ (wide) awake. If you ___67___ use a phone before bed, use a blue-light filter（过滤）app.
Of course, you should avoid caffeine after dinner. This means no cola, no chocolate and no coffee. ____68__ (drink) non-caffeinated teas or water.
As ____69___ your sleepy afternoons, napping（午休）is normal and healthy. It sounds like you need a “power nap”. These are 20-30 minute naps that give a boost（增强）of energy. Set your alarm for 25 minutes and get up when you hear it. Be careful! If you nap too long, you will feel ___70___ (sleep) than before.
Proper sleep is an important part of a healthy life, so taking a nap is taking care of yourself.
Good luck!
Daniel

第二节 短文改错(共10小题；每小题l分，满分10分)

增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除：把多余的词用斜线(＼)划掉。
修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。
Has anybody ever told you that you shouldn’t sneeze（打喷嚏）with your eyes open and your eyeballs will pop out? This might sound reasonable, because our eyelids（眼皮）always close when we sneeze. But is that true?
Actually, this is highly likely. Although a sneeze can burst from your nose in a speed of 320 kilometers per hour, it can’t transfer（转移）that pressure to your eyes. Plus, there’s no muscle directly behind the eye what could push the eyeballs outward. Thus, your eyelids don’t have much muscle power, so even if they are responsible for keeping your eyeballs in place, they would fail.
But then why do we always close our eyes when we sneeze? It’s simple a reflex（反射）of the body, just like how our legs kick when our knees tapped. The nose and eyes are linked by nerves, so the stimulation（刺激）from the sneeze travel up one nerve to the brain then down another nerve to the eyelids, cause a blink（眨眼）for most people. It’s just an involuntary reaction with no real purpose.

第三节 书面表达（满分25分）
Nowadays, when something wears out, people are likely to throw it away that is otherwise of great use, which leads to growing mountains of rubbish.
How did we become a throwaway society? First of all, it is easier to replace an object than to spend time and money repairing it. Another cause is our fancy for disposable products. As busy people, we are always looking for ways to save time and make our lives easier. Our appetite for new products also contributes to the problem. As a consequence, we throw away useful possessions to make room for new ones.
Improper throwing is a great threat to our limited resources. We should adopt a “reduce, reuse and recycle” approach to solve the problem and take good care of our environment.

Dear daughters,
Most parents tell their children, “You can be anything you want when you grow up.” I feel the same and I say this often. But I also want you to understand that the dream itself comes from hard work, some good luck and good timing.
Girls, here are some words of wisdom as you make your way in the world, from an entrepreneur and from your mama.
1. Be open-minded to changing your path (even several times) along the way
In high school, I wanted to be a politician. I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington, DC. There, I discovered that I loved to support women. It taught me that I’m creative, a strong leader and great at marketing. As a result, I moved on to be the head of a national health care nonprofit. Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag business. Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own.
Figure out what you are good at and what you are passionate (充满激情的) about. Keep an open mind; the initial path you choose may lead you into other areas.
Don’ t waste your money or time, but constantly change what you are doing professionally based on what you are learning about yourself.
2. Failure is critical to your success
I won’t tell you to feel good about failure. Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure I’ve had along the way has absolutely made me better.
Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing. I eventually passed, and I’ve never failed an exam again. I learned from that experience to ask for help. Now, I ask for help in business all the time.
Being passed over for a significant job opportunity that I was more than qualified for because of unfair assumptions (being too young for the role) hurt me. I had a three-month pity party. And then I went out and got a big job at a national organization at age 27. It’s okay to get angry! Take that and turn it into positive action.
I’m proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur. I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want and you can have everything on your list. It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes.
Love,
Your Mom

The negative health effects of being economical on sleep during the week can’t be reversed by marathon weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study.
Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation can cause weight gain and increase other heath risks, including diabetes. But for those who force themselves out of bed bleary-eye each weekday after too few hours of shut-eye, hope springs eternal that shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and reverse any ill effects.
The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced metabolic disruption that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of insufficient sleep, those gains were wiped out when people plunged back into their same sleep-deprived schedule the next Monday.
“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they’re gone when you go back to your routine. It’s very short-lived," said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology laboratory at the University of Colorado at Boulder, who oversaw the work. “These health effects are long-term. It’s kind of like smoking once was － people would smoke and wouldn’t see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early phase of where smoking used to be.”
Michael Grandner, director of the sleep and health research program at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, said the study reinforces the concept that people need to stop thinking of sleep as a balance sheet. Imagine a person who ate nothing but cheeseburgers and frenchfries Monday through Friday, but dined only on celery and kale on the weekend and tried to call that a healthy diet, he said.
Drastically cutting calories all week and then bingeing on a giant pizza on Saturday wouldn’t restore balance either. That, he argued, is essentially what people are doing when they skip sleep on weekdays with the idea they can make up for it on the weekend.
Wright said that the study suggests people should prioritize sleep－cutting out the optional “sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic devices. Even when people don’t have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about prioritizing sleep in the same way they would a healthy diet or exercise.
Smoking is mentioned in Paragraph 4 ______.
A. as an example of short-term negative health effects
B. to show how short-lived catch-up sleep benefits are
C. to illustrate the effects of insufficient sleep on people’s health
D. as a lifestyle choice causing immediate effects on people’s health
28. Those skipping sleep on weekdays and catching up sleep on weekends have the same mindset as those who believe that ______.
A. cheeseburgers and frenchfries are healthy diets
B. Saturday pizzas contain a huge amount of calories
C. celery and kale are healthy if eaten on the weekend
D. junk food can be balanced by occasional healthy diets
29. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Weekend recovery sleep absolutely brings benefits to people’s health .
B. To some degree,routine sleep deprivation can cause long-term health risks.
C. Valuing sleep, healthy diets and exercise help people keep fit.
D. Sleep will soon be like smoking as an unhealthy lifestyle choice.
30. The passage is intended to _______.
A. call on people to improve their sleep schedules
B. deny the health benefits of weekend recovery sleep
C. reinforce the negative effects of routine sleep deprivation
D. introduce a new study of the correlation between sleep and health

I was talking recently with my mom when our conversation reminded me of a funny story.
“This is extremely funny,”I said.“One time I was driving with my friend Rudy...”
My mom cut me off impatiently.
“I’ve heard this one before, honey,”she said.“You don't need to tell it again.”
Storytelling is supposed to be a bonding experience. When we share our personal narratives, we disclose something about our values, our history, our outlook on life. The self-disclosure builds closeness and is a signal of faith in the relationship.
But the bonding benefits of storytelling only work if you’re good at it. Many of us, even those who tell stories for a living, are not. We repeat stories we’ve told before. We tell tales that don’t have a point. We fail to pay attention to our audience, choosing stories that are inappropriate or ignoring clues that our listener is bored, annoyed or confused. And we don’t know how to edit ourselves, throwing in every detail we find fascinating, no matter how irrelevant.
“People can’t become engaged with a story that is incoherent,”says Melanie Green, a professor of communication at the University at Buffalo, who has been studying storytelling for 20 years. “They’re too busy trying to figure out what is going on.”
Dr. Green’s new research, which is yet to be published, shows that people who tell stories － as opposed to just delivering facts or opinion are judged by others to be more warm and likable. And her previous research has shown that women find men who are good storytellers to be more attractive and desirable as long-term partners, most likely because storytelling shows a man knows how to connect, to share emotions and, maybe, to be vulnerable.
But 10 new studies by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Georgia found that people who repeat the same stories over and over are viewed as less sincere and less authentic. In other words, they’re seen as not presenting their true self to the listener. The research also found that listeners are less interested in engaging with someone retelling a story they’ve heard him or her tell before.
(Para 10) Scientists now know that a well-told story boosts the release of two key neurochemicals in the brain: dopamine, which focuses our attention, and oxytocin, which helps us bond. This produces a state called immersion, in which a listener is both absorbed by a story and willing to be persuaded, says Paul Zak, a neturoeconomist and professor of economic sciences, psychology and management at Claremont Gradtutate University, in Claremont, Calif., who studies the neurobiology of storytelling. To get listeners to enter a state of immersion, the storyteller needs them to pay attention and to become emotionally engaged in the outcome of the story. This emotional engagement is what increases the listener’s attachment to the storyteller.
Dr. Zak, who is also the CEO of Immersion Neuroscience, a technology company that measures the neurological changes of people going through immersive experiences such as listening to stories or watching movies, says his research has found that all compelling plots share certain elements. They have an exciting start － “It has to be a James Bond opening, some reason for me to want to listen to the story and become absorbed by it,” Dr. Zak says － and then build both emotion and tension quickly. They have characters that are interesting and likable enough that people care about them. And they have action and a satisfying resolution to the tension.
Good storytellers use their voice to convey emotion, passion, drama － all cues that show they really care about the story. Emotional stories － ones that make people laugh or feel moved, touched, angry or outraged － have the most impact, says the University at Buffalo’s Dr. Green. “If it sparks an emotion in you, there’s a good chance it will spark an emotion in your audience,” she says.
The conversation between the author and her mother is quoted to ______.
A. prove that people like to repeat an interesting story
B. show what they usually talk about in their daily life
C. disclose that there is a generation gap between them
D. illustrate that people don’t like to be told a story they’ve heard before
According to the passage, a good storyteller ______.
A. will never repeat a story
B. will make friends with the audience
C. will try to tell a story with as many details as possible
D. will make necessary adjustments while telling a story
Paragraph 10 mainly talks about ______.
A. new findings on storytelling
B. the science behind a good story
C. how to create immersion in your story
D. how to help listeners engage with a story
The underlined word “compelling” probably means ______.
A. very intensive B. very touching C. very absorbing D. very complicated
We can conclude from the passage that______.
A. Listeners will by no means enjoy repeated stories.
B. Men who are good at telling stories are more popular with women.
C. People who tell stories are as attractive as news anchors who report news.
D. People who repeat the same stories may receive criticism from the audience.

It is one of the oldest magic tricks in the book — a magician locks a woman in a box, with her head and feet sticking out from either end, and saws（锯）it in half. But when she finally jumps out of the box the woman is unharmed.
This trick was introduced nearly a century ago. It has been around for some time, but __36__. Why is it so successful? The answer is simple: the human mind is easily fooled.
Our brain processes the world around us based on information that sensory organs（感官）, including the eyes, pick up. For instance, when we see a cow or a horse standing behind a tree, we automatically “fill in” the part of the animal’s body that is hidden from our sight. “So __37__ and it’s generating this rich world by filling in information,” Stephen Macknik told Science magazine.
But since our brains are filling in the gaps, __38__. They tend to be driven by your previous experiences and you expect things to go as they did in the past even if sometimes they do not. This tendency explains magicians’ success in fooling people with well-known coin tricks. For example, when you see a magician throw a coin up and down in one hand and then fake a coin throw to the other hand, you would naturally believe that the coin is in the other hand.
Apart from the information gaps, magicians also use the “blind spots” theory when doing their shows. The most well-known experiment demonstrating this theory is called the “invisible” gorilla, in which volunteers watch a video of two basketball teams. They are asked to count how many times the team wearing white shirts pass the ball. In the meantime, a person dressed as a gorilla walks onto the court. But shockingly, __39__, even when they appear to be looking directly at it.
Magicians employ this tactic (招数)，what they call “misdirection”, in almost every one of their acts. __40__ using comedy and music, which can make us miss stuff during the performance.
A. They direct our attention somewhere else
B. Half of the viewers catch sight of the gorilla
C. Sometimes they get it wrong
D. It never goes wrong
E. Half of the viewers don’t notice the gorilla
F. The brain is taking this kind of little information about the world
G. They hold our attention

Unilever brought its Rexona deodorant(香体露) to China a decade ago, dreaming of a successful market. Wages rising, consumers were spending. More of them, it stood to reason, would be ___41___ to a Western product.
“We had created established markets for Rexona from the ___42___ in many countries, and we did not see any reason why we couldn’t do the same in China,”Frank Brank, Unilever’s ____43___ China head, said by telephone from Dubai, where he now ___44___ as an investment adviser.“We had an extremely ___45___ plan at the time,”Mr. Braeken said.
But cultural differences and simple ___46___ — scientists have shown that many East Asian people don’t have Westerners’ body odor(气味) issues — stopped those plans. Sales totaled only a small amount of the ___47___ marketing budget for Rexona, Mr. Braeken said. Today, by some estimates(估算), less than 10 percent of China’s population uses deodorant, and it can be ___48___ to find outside major cities.
China’s growing consumer class has ___49___ global growth and lifted the fortunes of Starbucks, KFC and a ___50___ of other Western brands. Many Chinese people now drink coffee instead of tea, eat cheese and ice cream ___51___ potential tummy tremors（肠胃问题）, and have ice-cold sodas in large amounts in a country where grandmothers ___52___ a extreme fear at any liquid below room temperature.
Companies like Apple and Starbucks have prospered(兴旺) in part by ___53___ aspirational （渴望成功的）products to Chinese consumers who want to show the world that they have ___54___ it. That task is tougher for products that nobody sees.
“It has to be something ___55___ or something you can smell,”said Ye Tan, an independent economist in Shanghai.“Deodorant fails partly ___56___ it is invisible.”
The products have their Chinese supporters. Cai Qianyi, a 38-year-old media professional in Beijing, started using deodorant in 2006. He doesn’t think he has body odor but sees a problem with sweat___57___.“Sweat leaving wet spots on your T-shirt in the summer is extremely ___58___, especially around the armpits(腋窝), which could be really ___59___ embarrassing,”Mr. Cai said.

Dear Heater,
This is a serious problem. As a teacher, I saw many students sleeping in class, ___62___ (able) to focus — even children!
Let’s look at your lifestyle. Do you stay awake late at night? Do you use your smartphone before bed? Do you have caffeine at night?
First, late nights are a bad habit, even if you’re staying up late ___63___ (study). Research shows that studying ___64___ you’re tired is less effective. ___65___ (lose) sleep makes you too tired in class the next day. You should sleep for seven or eight hours each night.
Next, don’t use your smartphone before bed. The screen keeps our eyes and brains ___66___ (wide) awake. If you ___67___ use a phone before bed, use a blue-light filter（过滤）app.
Of course, you should avoid caffeine after dinner. This means no cola, no chocolate and no coffee. ____68__ (drink) non-caffeinated teas or water.
As ____69___ your sleepy afternoons, napping（午休）is normal and healthy. It sounds like you need a “power nap”. These are 20-30 minute naps that give a boost（增强）of energy. Set your alarm for 25 minutes and get up when you hear it. Be careful! If you nap too long, you will feel ___70___ (sleep) than before.
Proper sleep is an important part of a healthy life, so taking a nap is taking care of yourself.
Good luck!
Daniel

删除：把多余的词用斜线(＼)划掉。
修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。
Has anybody ever told you that you shouldn’t sneeze（打喷嚏）with your eyes open and your eyeballs will pop out? This might sound reasonable, because our eyelids（眼皮）always close when we sneeze. But is that true?
Actually, this is highly likely. Although a sneeze can burst from your nose in a speed of 320 kilometers per hour, it can’t transfer（转移）that pressure to your eyes. Plus, there’s no muscle directly behind the eye what could push the eyeballs outward. Thus, your eyelids don’t have much muscle power, so even if they are responsible for keeping your eyeballs in place, they would fail.
But then why do we always close our eyes when we sneeze? It’s simple a reflex（反射）of the body, just like how our legs kick when our knees tapped. The nose and eyes are linked by nerves, so the stimulation（刺激）from the sneeze travel up one nerve to the brain then down another nerve to the eyelids, cause a blink（眨眼）for most people. It’s just an involuntary reaction with no real purpose.

第三节 书面表达（满分25分）
Nowadays, when something wears out, people are likely to throw it away that is otherwise of great use, which leads to growing mountains of rubbish.
How did we become a throwaway society? First of all, it is easier to replace an object than to spend time and money repairing it. Another cause is our fancy for disposable products. As busy people, we are always looking for ways to save time and make our lives easier. Our appetite for new products also contributes to the problem. As a consequence, we throw away useful possessions to make room for new ones.
Improper throwing is a great threat to our limited resources. We should adopt a “reduce, reuse and recycle” approach to solve the problem and take good care of our environment.
