That cold January night, I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I

As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, about a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize the noise had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. I ran out and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck( 垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked,
holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a: m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

When your child is supposed to be doing homework., are they chatting with their friends on Facebook.or playing games? If you want your child to do a good job with their homework and get good grades then you may want to start teaching them that this isn't the best idea. Many studies have shown that multitasking (多任务化) doesn't work, even though your child is
probably proudly claiming they can do ten things at once ! Many people believe that they can perform two or more tasks at the same time, but Dr Edward Hallowell says this is a myth(神话). The reality is that multitasking results in poor job performance.
New devices(器件) such as smartphones, Wads, games and social networking sites make it very easy to multitask and " attention share " resulting in difficulty focusing on the task at hand, such as listening in the classroom or doing homework. "Unfortunately, the brain actually
rewards kids for multitasking even if performance on every task gets worse and worse. Kids don't know they're doing worse because they. feel better when they multitask, "says Dr Edward Hallowell.
Since the appearance of hand-held devices and social networking sites teachers have noticed a difference in academic performance, critical thinking skills and how information is processed. "Multitasking prevents people from gaining a deep understanding of the information they are trying to learn , " says Dr Edward Hallowell. Kids have a difficult time sticking with a "difficult to understand" topic and tend to allow themselves to be distracted(分散精力) , to tune out and switch over to Facebook or using their cell phones rather than working harder at understanding a difficult subject or problem. In the long run, multitasking affects grades. One study showed that kids that use the Internet while in class did poorly on tests resulting in lower
grades.
32. Who are the passage's intended readers?
A. Children. B. Teachers. C. Researchers. D. Parents.
33. What's Dr Edward Hallowell's attitude toward children multitasking?
A. Supportive. B. Neutral. C. Objective. D. Negative.
34. What's probably talked about in the paragraph following the passage?
A. Difficult attitudes towards multitasking. B. Why children like multitasking.
C. What to do with children multitasking. D. The advantages of multitasking.
35. What's the best title for the passage?
A. Is Multitasking Truth or Myth B. The Multitasking Generation
C. Multitasking Results in Poor Grades D. Children Are Proud of Multitasking

pleased by the effort you're making to learn their names.
Admit you don't know. 38 Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, "I'm working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?"
