It doesnt matter how beautiful the weather is if the only time you get to experience it is on a15-minute lunch break. When I worked full-time in an office, I would feel the pain of this as colleagueswith kids jetted off for a summer break and I was left to work. I felt as though my life came second to theirs,but Ive come to realize this time was actually a gift.Let me explain. So much of our working week finds us rushing to meet deadlinesand please bosses. We have a long list of things that have to be achieved and we can get so lost in all ofthese that we forget to do the other things that can boost both our careers and productivity. Thesummertime, however, sees managers on holiday and an attitude of “nothing will get decided on untilSeptember”, which means this is the perfect time to focus on you.The main thing Ive learned over my years of working is to use this period torecharge, even if youre not actually on holiday. I vividly remember complaining to a friend once of beingbored during August. After shed rolled her eyes at this non-problem, she suggested that perhaps this timewas slow because it is supposed to be focusing on something other than work. I could leave on time andhave life outside of the office. Making time to see my friends or finally seeing the exhibitions Id beenputting off for months recharged me, and when the break ended, I was ready for it.So much of our working life is about relationships, yet we sacrifice these to raiseproductivity. It may be more beneficial to a work relationship to take a colleague for a coffee, but itsquicker to fire off an email, so we do that. In the summer, suggesting a walk in the sunshine, while you talkabout how to deal with that tricky client, suddenly seems like the best way to work. The-hopefully-warmweather makes all of us unreserved, so use this to your advantage. Are there people youve really wanted tomeet but theyve always been too busy?And finally, if you already know that, come September, youre going to start pushing forthat pay rise or new job you promised yourself, then now is the time to ensure that youve got all theevidence to make your case. Offering to be the point of contact for projects when your boss is away cangive you the experience you need to take the next step. Use the summer wisely and, by the end of it, youllbe the employee with a new plan of action and a contacts book filled with new best friends.24. The reason why the author counts the summer break as a gift is that _.A. it provides a chance to escape from loads of heavy workB. much attention can be paid to oneself and self-refreshmentC. it is a perfect time to jet off and spend holidays with kidsD. work can be postponed to September for absence of managers25. What does the underlined sword “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The work.B. The experience.C. The break.D . The exhibition.26. Where would the sentence “Summer brings out everyones social side.” best fit?A. B. C. D. 27. According to the author, what is the benefit of being “the point of contact for projects”?A. Filling in the gap colleagues have left.B.Developing new friendships and action plans.C.Recharging yourself with much energy.D.Catching up on pleasures you have missed.CI live in an area where most parents would rather cut back on personal hobbies for themselves thanstop paying for their childrens activities.Music lessons, horseback riding, summer camps, sports teamsthe list goes on and on. Often, so dothe costs. And even if the money is not there, some parents find a way. I know people who have borrowedfrom family and run up their credit cards to pay for all the stuff they believe their children just cannot miss.“The experiences we thought kids had to have before high school has moved down to junior high andnow elementary,” said William Doherty, a professor of family studies and director of the marriage andfamily therapy program at the University of Minnesota. Soon, well be talking about leadershipopportunities for babies.”Somehow, not offering our children every possible opportunity “feels like bad parenting,” said WendyMogel, a clinical psychologist.But in an effort to give their children everything, some parents end up not just using up financialresources, but also their own emotional energy. “A lot of parents are exhausted by their ownoverparenting,” said Bryan Caplan, an economics professor at George Mason University.” They make somany sacrifices and are so stressed out by driving around so much that they explode at kids for changingthe radio station.”“Its easy to take a look at the more successful kids and assume that all the activities are why they aremore successful,”Professor Caplan said. But research doesnt bear that out. On a recent National PublicRadio program, Steven D. Levitt, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago, said he andanother economist could find no evidence that that sort of parental choices could be linked at all withacademic success.28. What can we infer from William Dohertys argument?A. Kids need to experience so many activities at a young age.B. Kids should seize leadership opportunities when they were babies.C. Kids are taking part in extracurricular activities at a much younger age.D. Kids should take part in extracurricular activities before elementary school.29. Why do parents offer their children so many lessons according to Wendy Mogel？A. They want to show off their love to their children.B. They think that is the kind of life their children want to live.C. They want to be good parents and be responsible for their children.D. They believe the lessons can help their children achieve academic success.30. What does the underlined phrase bear that out in the last paragraph mean？A. Understand.B. Deny.C. Examine.D. Prove.31. What is the bad effect of offering children too many extracurricular activities？A. The children may make no sacrifice.B. The children may not be successful in the future.C. The parents may ask too much of their children.D. The parents may get extremely tired.DWhat if we had the power to control time, instead of moving from the past to the present to the future?What if we could jump, loop and travel through time in a machine? What if we could go wherever andwhenever we pleased?This ability would allow us to witness historic wonders, change decisions and see people from the past.We could right wrongs and stop wars from starting.The mysterious puzzle of time has kept people debating its nature for hundreds of years. Sciencefiction writers have turned it into imaginative stories. Some scientists have even attempted to explain itusing math. This math tries to make the dream of time travel come true.The scientist Albert Einstein saidthat time and space are one thing. He called it “spacetime.” Einstein said that there are three dimensions inspace: height, width and depth. A scientist named Hermann Minkowski added time as a fourth dimension.Einstein introduced two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel. The first isrelativity. The idea of relativity is that the force of gravity causes space to bend, which causes time to twist.The second idea focuses on special relativity. The idea is that a traveler moving super-fast through flatspacetime will enter the future. Einstein considered time “relative” because it is measured based on wherewe are on Earth or in space.Stephen Hawking is a famous scientist. He believes that a time machine will never be built. If it werepossible, he thinks we would already know. If a time machine could be built, how come no one from thefuture has invaded us?The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P.Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows haveexplored the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old bookstake travelers backward and forward.Will time travel ever happen? Who knows? Most important is to keep your eyes open and have a senseof wonder.32. What is the authors purpose of writing the first paragraph?A. To draw readers attention to time travel. B. To show peoples interest in time travel.C. To show time and space are connected.D. To make people believe time travel is possible.33. Which of the following statement could Einstein agree with?A. People cant move faster than light.B. Time travel is possible in the future.C. Time travel is against scientific rules.D. Spacetime is not a real thing in theory.34. What is the last but one paragraph mainly about?A. The first science fiction story.B. Some tools used in time travel.C. Different works about time travel.D. Edward P. Mitchell, the pioneer.35. What is the writers attitude toward time travel?A. Cautious.B. Approving.C. Doubtful.D. Hopeful.第三部分 完形填空（共 15 个小题：每小题 1 分，满分 15 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B, C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。第三部分 完形填空（共 15 个小题：每小题 1 分，满分 15 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B, C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。Exercise and I have never had a good relationship due to my fear of sports.
