There are gaps in everyones schedule w

18、here they arent doing anything important. Even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time where you arent working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.Why arent you completely efficient? Its because time isnt the limiting factor. If it were the limiting factor, people co

19、uld work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions. Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate(拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels t

20、o pay attention. Energy levels limit your productivity because when youre tired, you can have ample time and still not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.You might no

21、t be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices. But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. The reason its hard to “find time” isnt a lack of time. Its because you dont have enough energy left to focu

22、s on something else that needs to fit into your day.I first suspected time wasnt the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. I was insanely busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly. I had daily-to-do lists with over twenty items, and I still found time to e

23、xercise. However, after a few weeks off, due to illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was incredibly light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise. It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. How

27、tant a healthy body isDtell us what an odd experience he has23（8分） In the U. S. state of Washington, a road called Interstate(州際公路；州際的)90 cuts through a wild mountainous area to reach the city of Seattle. For the areas many kinds of animals, busy high- way greatly limits their movements. Animals nee

28、d to move to find food, to find mates, to find new places to live as their populations expand or just when conditions change, like a fire breaks out. Crossing I-90 as the road is called is a risky but sometimes necessary act. But soon, animals will have a safer choice. They will be able to go above

29、it.To help the animals, the state is finishing work on its largest - ever wildlife bridge. The 11-meter-tall, 20 - meter - wide bridge begins in the forest. It forms two arches above the highway, one for each direction of traffic. Workers are adding fencing anti plants to help guide the animals acro

30、ss the bridge，Two-meter-thick walls will help block noise from vehicles below. Scientists chose the area because it is within a natural migration(遷徙)path for some animals.The I -90 bridge is part of a growing number of wildlife crossings across the United States. Some are fences, some are overland b

31、ridges，and some are underpasses. They all aim to keep drivers and animals away from each other.A U. S. Transportation Department study found crashes between animals and humans rose year by year. The accidents made up about 5 percent of all crashes nationally, and cost the economy (經(jīng)濟(jì))about 8 billion

32、. Such costs come from car repaid, emergency room visits and removal of the dead animals on roads. Collisions between animals and drivers are rarely deadly to people. But they are often deadly to wildlife. The study also found that 21 endangered or threatened species in the U.S. are affected by vehi

33、cle hits. Bridges, underpasses and fencing reduce I he areas animal - driver collisions by 80 percent.Most of the wildlife bridges are in western states. Many other areas also need such paths. But finding money for more crossings is“the- number - one problem”. Patty Garvey Darda of the U. S. Forest

34、Service has worked on the I - 90 crossing from the start of the project. She says the $ 6 - million bridge will one day pay for itself because the highway will not have to be fully or partly closed each time a large animal is struck. “If you shut clown Interstate 90, you shut down interstate trade.

35、” she adds.1、What do we know about die I -90?AIt goes from Washington DC to Seattle,BIt is dangerous for wild animals to cross.CIt blocks the movements of wild animals.DIt is the longest - ever highway in the world.2、What is being done to help the animals?ABuilding a wildlife bridge to keep drivers

36、and animals away.BDesigning walls to protect animals from traffic accidents.Cforming 2 arches, one for traffic and the other for animals.DChoosing a natural and safe area for wild animals to live in.3、What can we learn from the study?ATraffic accidents went down gradually nationwide.BMost money was

37、spent in rescuing wild animals,CCollisions are more deadly to wildlife than to people,DSome species no longer existed because of vehicle hits.4、Which of the statements may Patty Garvey - Darda agree with?AThe bridge costs too much money.BAnimals won11 be struck by drivers.CThe effort to build the br

The scientist from a research institute of intelligent robots finds the experience so boring that hed rather driveeven though he lives close to his lab and knows that walking us healthy. I e

39、njoy walking with someone, like with my wife, with my daughter, Kanda said. But they are not always available.So Kanda, who specializes in human-like bots, developed a robotic walking partner that could make small talk based on its surroundings, which, he hopes, might motivate people to get out and

40、exercise more. The bot rests on a persons shoulder like a boxy parrot. It weighs about a pound and a half and sits roughly 8.5 inches high, 3.5inches wide, and 10 inches long. A microphone, speaker, and internal camera allow it to communicate. Its even equipped with a smile.Kanda and his team collec

41、ted video form five different locations, including a garden and a shopping mall, and created a dataset of small talk topics related to each location. Then they programmed the robot to associate visual cues with specific topics. A special speech software provided the robot with a voice. Near a group

42、of parked cars, for example, it might say, In a big parking lot, sometimes I forget where I parked.They tested the robot on 15 volunteers, 10 males and 5 females, who were paid and averaged about 26 years old. Have you ever blown a puff of dandelion（蒲公英）seeds into the air? The robot asked a particip

43、ant, who smiled and responded, Yes, I often did that when I was a child. Although several participants noted the robots weight, Kanda was surprised that no one considered the experience as strange or funny. I guess people enjoy new technologies, he said.Just like a human partner, Kandas bot isnt per

44、fect. Its not able to go for walks in heavy rain and, while the robot can make expressions, it cant really hold a conversation, about which Kanda is most worried. Despite its limits, Kanda was comforted by the bots presence. I felt a kind of sense of being with someone, he said, particularly when it

45、 spoke.1、Why does Kanda have the idea of developing a robotic walking partner?ABecause he wants someone to accompany him while walking.BBecause he has never developed a robot like a parrot.CBecause his family are unwilling to walk with him.DBecause he is crazy about developing robots.2、What characte

46、ristic does the robot have?AIt can speak and see.BIt can walk like a human being.CIt can communicate with people freely.DIt is much more humorous than a real person.3、What is necessary for the robot to function?AA small size.BA boxy shape.CA human partner.DA speech software.4、What is Kanda most like

47、ly to do about his robot next?ATo make it more convenient to carry.BTo improve its conversational skills.CTo enable it to walk in heavy rain.DTo better its sound system.25（10分）A MENTORING (導(dǎo)師制）program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.

48、o to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex Goldberg, the programs founder, said： “We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.” “We try to create wor

For example, weve secured internships (實(shí)習(xí)）with world-famous firms such as Honda.”“At a time of funding cutbacks, schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring because of that. It is extremely

52、nd education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. Before we left 1 didnt quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn t stop、it was amazing”

53、he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues(問題）such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.Kieran said： It has really helpe

54、d me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.For details visit www. younginsviratiom. com.1、Why is The Young Inspirations mentoring prog
