The average American checks his/her smart phone once every six and a half minutes, or roughly 150 times each day.You probably do this without even thinking about it.This can influence how well we focus,and the degree to which we can have meaningful social communications, especially if we're constantly interrupting ourselves with technology.This is a growing problem more so for younger people.However,some people might be more immune to this constant interruption.Many older adults may have not developed these \,and are more focused on the present.
In our rapidly changing world,we value speed and efficiency(效率),However,there's something to be gained by being slow.When I first started giving presentations to large audiences,I was a rapid communicator.With my mind racing a mile a minute,I tried to say everything I knew about a topic to be thorough,but I noticed the crowd didn't follow.Now,I have only one note to myself that I need as a reminder before beginning a presentation:\.I'll set aside more time for questions and get more audience participation to assess the 1evel in which my message has been understood.With pauses and the right speed,clear message appears,often with fewer words. There is another chance to slow down.Slowing down can make you more aware of the Simple dangers of walking and falling.Falls can be one major cause of hurts and deaths in old age.Thus,taking time to walk down steps,avoiding a tripping(绊倒)danger or being aware of slippery surfaces is important at any age.
Today,there're parts of our life that stress the benefits of being slow. And as we age,we might see the benefits of slowing down a little bit.While we often seek to prevent the process of aging,one necessity and potential benefit of aging may be to appreciate the benefits of slowing,enjoy the here and now a little bit more,and not to worry so much about the future. 8.

happened. My child's language delay was identified, but doctors struggled to properly help her, I felt like we both needed to he rescued.

A. Good things are worth appreciating slowly. B. Being slow is becoming a popular lifestyle. C. Few people know how to enjoy being slow.
D. The old tend to enjoy the benefit of slowing more.
D
Humans have always considered themselves special compared with other animals.One reason is the complexity of our
language-bounded by unique rules,such as syntax,where we string words together in a specific order to create meaningful sentences.But it turns out a bird may also vocalize(发声)with syntax rules.
The Japanese great tit is a bird that's a close relative of North America's very own chickadee.Toshitaka Suzuki of Japan's Graduate University for Advanced Studies has been listening to the calls of the Japanese great tit for the past decade.Suzuki has recorded at least ten types of alarm calls used by the bird.One of those is known as the ABC call,which warns other great tits of the presence of a predator(捕食者),and another is the D call,which signals the birds to approach the caller.
Now Suzuki and his colleagues have found that the great tit uses those calls together to deliver both messages to other birds.And they found that the order of that call was vital-only ABC-D call made sense to the birds.When the scientists intentionally changed the order to create a D-ABC call,the birds did not respond.The study is published in the journal Nature Communications. \,and figuring that out I think will be difficult but also potentially really,really interesting,because it'll give a lot of deep understanding…\, a member of the study scientists.\.Obviously it matters in human language,the order in which we say things,but it's still somehow amazing when you find it in birds.So I think understanding why it's the case will be really interesting in the future\
The work could help explain the evolution of the building blocks and structure(结构)of our own language. 11. What's the major function of paragraph 1? ______
A. To show language differences to readers.
B. To tell a commonly accepted belief to readers. C. To introduce the background of the whole text. D. To raise readers'interest in the following text.
12. Why did the birds make no response to D-ABC call? ______
A. It failed to make any sense. C. They found it barely natural. B. It was far beyond their level. D. They were afraid of scientists.
13. What can we know according to David Wheatcroft's words? ______
A. He speaks positively of the discovery that the sound order exists in birds. B. Scientists have already understood the reason why the order matters. C. The order discovered in birds is as obvious as in human language. D. He thinks scientists look for the order in birds for entertainment. 14. What is the best title for the text? ______
A. Birds'Sound Makes Them Survive B. Birds Help Man's Language to Evolve C. Birds Combine Calls in a Specific Order D. Birds'Language is Different From Man's 二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)
We automatically assume that as adults, we're wiser than when we were children. However, actually we can learn a lot from our childhood self. For example, we can learn to develop optimism about the future. Do you remember how excited you used to be just before Christmas? (1) Reintroduce that childlike wonder into our daily experiences. We can learn to dream big and imagine the impossible. How often have you heard a child say something like \, I'm going to be an astronaut\? Our adult minds immediately laugh at this idea and think about all the logical reasons as to why this might never happen. (2) We minimize our chances of attaining what we dream about. It is okay to dream big just as our childhood self did.
(3) Our childhood self looked at possibilities and believed we could achieve them successfully. If we wanted to build a tree house,
we'd go about thinking about how to make it happen instead of focusing on all the reasons it might not happen. In this way we can
fill our life with possibilities rather than regrets.
We can learn to be playful and silly sometimes, (4) Children spend a large amount of time escaping from reality to mess about and have fun. Make time for your childhood self to come out and play. Run around the garden, wear a silly hat or spend time laughing. (5) .
A. Don't imagine things could go wrong. B. We can learn to hold a \. C. That feeling of great joy is hard to beat.
D. Most children tend to think in a positive way.
E. All of these activities can make us feel happy and alive. F. We employ self-limiting beliefs without even realizing it. G. All work and no play makes a person very dull and upset. 15. A. A B. B C.
