Working in the University of Alberta, Chaston devised a test that required subjects to find specific items in various images. However, before the
subjects started the test, they were told that once they had completed it they would be asked
to estimate how much time had
passed during their test.
There were seven levels of
difficulty among the tests. In some cases, the items were easy
to find because they were of different colors. In the more difficult tests, the items were placed among many similar looking items, or they didn’t even exist in the image. “The
harder the search tasks were, the smaller the estimates became,” said Chaston.
There are two kinds of time estimations, Chaston added, and
D. worsen

B. different groups of he or she will be asked to make
an estimate after a task is completed. Then there’s retrospective, which means someone has been asked to provide a time estimate after the task has been completed.
Chaston said, “In our society, we’re pretty good with
prospective estimates. Most of us wear watches, and we’re
pretty good at keeping track of
the time because we have to for
most of our regular, daily lives.” For this reason, Chaston is pleased that the results of his study showed such a powerful effect of attention on prospective time estimates.
“This really shows that even if
you know in advance that you’re going to have to estimate the time of a task, the more attention the task requires, the faster time flies.”

C. different items used in the tests
D. different instructions to the estimators

The word “icon” in Paragraph 1 is Tim Berners-Lee is the brilliant (1)

breakthrough engineered by this icon of cyberspace did occur, in part, by chance. Berners-Lee was C. teacher A. follower B. idol
trying to find a way to organize his research files, so he developed a software program
that, as he puts it, was “really useful for keeping track of all the random associations one comes across in real life. Brains are supposed to be so good
at remembering – but sometimes mine wouldn’t.” It worked so well, creating effective
linkages between huge amounts of information. It eventually became the basis for the revolution we now casually refer to as the Web. “It would be akin
to a carpenter building a little cabinet for himself and suddenly discovering he could store the entire world inside the thing.
There was quite a bit of luck in
it,” says Arthur Molella from
the National Museum of American History.
The element of chance has also helped produce many of the most important innovations in modern life. Take Percy Lebaron

For many years, officials of the National Institutes of Health have told Americans that they need to get enough sleep. They say this is necessary for people to stay healthy and do well. Now health officials begin to urge children to get enough sleep. They say children need at least nine hours of sleep every night. They say research shows that children who get this much sleep perform better in school and are less likely to become too fat.
Studies show that lack of sleep causes tiredness and problems with clear thinking. People who do not get enough sleep become angry easily. They also have trouble controlling
(1)
It can be inferred from the passage that health officials __________.
A. suggest that children should not
sleep too much

enough sleep in the past

to sleep more
D. used to think that children had
enough sleep (2)
Which of the following is caused by the shortage of sleep?
A. Lack of self-control
B. Mental disorder
their emotions.
Among children, problems that result from lack of sleep often are mistaken for more serious disorders. Unlike adults, tired children seem to have endless energy. Some doctors mistakenly identify this as
hyper-activity. Many sleep disorders first develop in childhood. But doctors often do not identify the disorder until years later. Experts say many American teenagers are not getting enough sleep. Teenagers stay up late for several reasons. For example, schoolwork, after school activities and late-night fun. Four years ago, education officials in Minneapolis

This summer, for the first time, Emory College let freshmen pick their own roommates in an online roommate-selection system. Students, using screen names to hide their identities, posted profiles of themselves detailing personality (1)
In computer matchmaking, initially students do not reveal their __________.
A. personalities
B. identities
C. habits
attributes, work habits, music and food preferences, and exchanged information using e-mail.—Housing officials at Emory say they expect that letting students pick their own roommates who are their closest matches will increase the likelihood of compatibility. And there’s little risk of hurt feelings if the e-mail exchanges do not lead to a match, since the initial round of contacts is
done under screen names.
Several studies have shown that roommates have an impact on the attitudes and social behavior of those they live with. And one recent study found that a roommate’s academic performance has a small, but statistically significant, effect on the other roommate’s grade-point average. Other studies, however, did not find that effect.
The business of assigning roommates varies widely across the country. At Davidson College, the housing staff sort every freshman with careful hand-selection. The Davidson philosophy is that roommates should be as similar as
D. hobbies
If e-mail exchanges between
(2) students fail to lead to a match, the students involved __________.
A. will end up with hurt feelings
B. will stop using their screen names
C. won’t feel embarrassed or
discouraged
D. won’t have another chance to
contact others
As mentioned in the passage, only (3) one study found that roommates have an impact on the __________ of the other roommates.
A. academic grades
B. social behavior
C. sleeping patterns
D. personal attitudes
It can be inferred from the passage (4) that computer matching __________.
A. is unlikely to be a great success
possible, while halls should be as diverse as possible.
―We had a match that seemed perfect, until we discovered that one was a cattle rancher’s son and the other was a vegan (绝对素食者),‖ said Ms. Kromm. ―They should
B. is a novelty with no final results
C. will not be as good as expected
D. will soon replace hand selection
(5)
Both computer matching and hand selection follow the principle of definitely meet, on the same hall. But we didn’t want to put them in the same room.‖ Occasionally, an
incoming student asks to be paired with an Asian, or says she might not
be able to get along with a Republican. In such cases, Ms. Kromm will remind them that
Davidson does not accept roommate preferences based on race, ethnicity, and religion.
__________.
A. putting students with similarities
together
B. meeting all legitimate demands of
students
C. letting students pick their own
roommates
D. seeking diversity in roommate

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure – those who have climbed the highest mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans.

Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping involve jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.
