Several weeks later when life began to return to normal, Donna 51 that the level of support she had given Mary far overtook any support she had 52 herself during her dark time. She was able to use the support she had given her friend as a 53 for the support she needed.

One of the key challenges ja urban architecture over the next 50 years will be figuring out how to squeeze vast numbers of additional people into cities that are already extremely crowded. London, for example, will somehow have to deal with a projected 100,000 extra residents every year. The current plan of building new “satellite towns” of the city causes a lot of problems, but architects are working on ambitious solutions that go vertical instead of horizontal (水平的)in search of space.
In terms of population density (密度),London is on of the least crowded major cities in the world. However, the fact remains that the city’s population is growing at a rapid rate, and horizontal expansion into the surrounding areas is eating up increasingly important agricultural land, as well as worsening all the transport problems coming with urban growth.
Popular Architecture would propose a wholly different solution. The proposal is to go upwards with vertical towers of considerable size, each representing an entire new town by the time it’s completed. Each tower would be 1500 meters high. Besides mere accommodation, each tower would function as an entire town unit, with its own schools, hospitals, parks and gardens, sports facilities, business areas and community spaces. The population density of such a tower could help lower the individual energy requirement of each resident, reducing the ecological problem caused by the population as a whole.
While the building itself is unlikely ever to be seriously considered for construction—imagine the number of lifts it would need, let alone the possible dangers of open areas at such heights and with such wind exposure—the concept can serve as a conversation-starter for urban planners looking to face the challenges of the current and coming centuries,
58. What challenge will urban architects in future have to face?
A. Accommodating more residents.
B. Working out ambitious plans.
C. Designing less crowded cities.
D. Building new satellite towns.
59. What will happen to London through horizontal expansion?
A. More land can be saved.
B. The safety problems can be solved.
C. The population growth can be controlled.
D. The transport problems can be worsened.
60. What does the author think of the idea of building vertical towers?
A. It’s impractical.
B. It’s a perfect solution in the current century.
C. It’ll be started soon.
D. It’ll become a reality in coming centuries.

To combat the trap of putting a premium on being busy, Cal Newport, author of Deep work; Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted world, recommends building a habit of “deep work”—the ability to focus without distraction.
retreats
There are a number of approaches to mastering the art of deep work—be it lengthy dedicated to a specific task; developing a daily ritual;or taking a “journalistic” approach to seizing moments of deep work when you can throughout the day. Whichever approach, the key is to determine your length of focus time and stick to it.
Newport also recommends “deep scheduling” to combat constant interruptions and get more done in less time. “At any given point, I should have deep work scheduled for roughly the next month. Once on the calendar 1 protect this time like I would a doctor’s appointment or important meeting”, he writes.
Another approach to getting more done in less time is to rethink how you prioritize your day—in particular how we craft our to-do lists. Tim Harford, author of Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives, points to a study in the early 1980s that divided undergraduates into two groups: some were advised to set out monthly goals and study activities; others were told to plan activities and goals in much more detail, day by day.
While the researchers assumed that the well-structured daily plans would be most effective when it came to the execution of tasks, they were wrong: the detailed daily plans demotivated students. Harford argues that inevitable distractions often render the daily to-do list ineffective, while leaving room for improvisation in such a list can reap the best results.
In order to make the most of our focus and energy, We also need to embrace downtime, or as Newport suggests, “be lazy. ”
“idleness is not just a vacation, an indulgence or a vice; it is as indispensable to be brain as Vitamin D is to the bod... [idleness]is paradoxically, necessary to getting any work done, ” he argues.
Srini Pillay, an assistant professor of psychiatry. at Harvard, Medical School, believes this counter-intuitive link between downtime and productivity may be due to the way our brains operate. When our brains switch between being focused and unfocused on a task, they tend to be more efficient.
“What people don’t realize is that in order to complete these tasks they need to use both the focus and unfocus circuits in their brain,” say Pillay.
61. The key to mastering the art of deep work is to .
A. keep to your focus time
B. list your immediate tasks
C. make specific daily plans
D. seize every minute to work
62. The study in the early 1980s cited by Harford shows that .
A. distractions may actually increase efficiency
B. daily schedules are indispensable to studying
C. students are hardly motivated by monthly goals
D. detailed plans many not be as fruitful as expected
63. Pillay believes that our brains’ shift between being focused and unfocused .
A. can result in psychological well-being
B. can bring about greater efficiency
C. is aimed at better balance in work
D. is driven by task urgency
64. This text is mainly about .
A. ways to relieve the tension of busy life
B. approaches to getting more done in less time
C. the key to eliminating distractions
D. the cause of the lack of focus time

Digital devices are challenging the nature of ownership. It’s time to fight back.
OWNERSHIP used to be about as straightforward as writing a cheque. If you bought something, you owned it. If it broke, you fixed it. If you no longer wanted it, you sold it or chucked it away. Some firms found tricks to musclein on the aftermarket, using warranties, authorized repair shops, and strategies such as selling cheap printers and expensive ink. But these ways of squeezing out more profit did not challenge the nature of what it means to be an owner.
In the digital age ownership has become more slippery. Just ask Tesla drivers, who have learned that Elon Musk forbids them from using their electric vehicles to work for ride-hailing firms, such as Uber. Or owners of John Deere tractors, who are “recommended” not to tinker with the software that controls them. Since the advent of smartphones, consumers have been forced to accept that they do not control the software in their devices; they are only licensed to use it. But as a digital leash is wrapped ever more tightly around more devices, such as cars, thermostats and even sex toys, who owns and who controls which objects is becoming a problem. Buyers should be aware that some of their most basic property rights are under threat.
The trend is not always malign. Manufacturers seeking to restrict what owners do with increasingly complex technology have good reasons to protect their copyright, ensure that their machines do not malfunction, uphold environmental standards and prevent hacking. Sometimes companies use their control over a product’s software for the owners’ benefit. When Hurricane Irma hit Florida this month, Tesla remotely upgraded the software controlling the batteries of some models to give owners more range to escape the storm.
But the more digital strings are attached to goods, the more the balance of control tilts towards producers and away from owners. That can be inconvenient. Picking a car is hard enough, but harder still if you have to unearth the specs that tell you how use is limited and what data you must surrender. If it leads to more built-in obsolescence, it can also be expensive. Already, items from
smartphones to washing machines have become exceedingly hard to fix, meaning that they are thrown away instead of being repaired.
Privacy is also at risk. Users were appalled when it emerged that iRobot, a robotic vacuum cleaner, not only cleans the floor but creates a digital map of the home’s interior that can then be sold on to advertisers.
Such intrusions should remind people how jealously they ought to protect their property rights. They should fight for the right to tinker with their own property, modify it if they wish and control who uses the data that it hoovers up. In America this idea has already taken root in the “right to repair” movement;legislatures in a dozen states are considering enshrining this in law. The European Parliament wants manufacturers to make goods, such as washing machines, more fixable. In France appliance-makers must tell buyers how long a device is likely to last—a sign of how repairable it is. Regulators should foster competition by, for instance, insisting that independent repair shops have the same access to product information, spare parts and repair tools as manufacturer-owned ones—rules that are already standard in the car industry.
Ownership is not about to go away, but its meaning is changing. This requires careful scrutiny. Gadgets, by and large, are sold on the basis that they empower people to do what they want. To the extent they are controlled by somebody else, that freedom is compromised.
65. What do some companies want to do by selling cheap printers and expensive ink?
A. Change the nature of ownership.
B. Authorize who owns the products.
C. Make more profits out of the products.
D. Guarantee the operations of the aftermarket.
66. What does Tesla upgrading its software in the face of Hurricane Irma suggest?
A. Long-distance control is a trend worldwide.
B. The change in ownership isn’t necessarily bad.
C. Companies’ control of product is very strong.
D. Technology plays a vivid role in firms’ success.
67. What will consumers tend to do with more digital strings linked to goods?
A. Pick up car parts more quickly and cheaply.
B. Suffer more of a loss of ownership in a way.
C. Have a better know ledge of machine maintenance.
D. Expose themselves to more independent manufactures.
68. Why may iRobot make people panic?
A. It works well all on its own.
B. It can finish cleaning very swiftly.
C. It poses a threat to users’ privacy.
D. It can rack users’ location automatically.
69. What can we infer from the last but one paragraph?
A. Independent repair shops should improve their skills.
B. Makers should extend their products’ guarantee period.
C Customers’ awareness of protecting their privacy is very weak.
D. Efforts to push for the property repair right are on the rise.
70. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Get rid of shopping traps!
B. Stand up for fair competition!
C. Make full use of digital devices!
D. Take back control over our ownership!

Unless you are like Nasty Gal’s founder Sophia Amoruso, the passwords you use to access your email and the endless other accounts you need for work aren’t filled with intention. With increasing security requirements, it’s likely your word/nurmber combinations are becoming even less memorable. But new research suggests it may not be long before you won’t need to memorize passwords.
“Brainprint”, published in Neurocomputing, reveals that the brain’s reaction to certain words could be a unique identifying code—like a fingerprint—that could eventually replace passwords.
In a small experiment, the researchers measured the brains’ signals of 45 volunteers as they read through a list of 75 acronyms such as FBI and DVD. The word-recognition response differed so much between each participant that a second experiment using a computer program could identify
each one with 94% accuracy.
It’s not enough to feel totally secure, but promising enough to him at the future of securing sensitive information.
The advantage of using such a biometric system(生物识别系统) is that it can be used for continuous verification (验证), New Scientist points out. Passwords or fingerprints only provide a tool for one-off identification. Continuous verification could in theory allow someone to interact with many computer systems at the same time or even with a variety of intelligent objects, without having to repeatedly enter passwords each device.
As Hollywood has illustrated, it’s simply a matter of cutting off a finger to steal that person’s identity. “Brainprints, on the other hand, are potentially cancellable, ” said Sarah Laszlo, assistant professor of psychology and linguistics at Binghamton University and co-author of the study, “So, in the unlikely event that attackers were actually able to steal a brainprint from an authorized user, the authorized user could then ‘reset’ their brainprint. ”
Until now, brain signals have been a challenge to understand. This experiment leaped over the obstacle by focusing on the brainwaves from the specific area that reads and recognizes words. The signal is therefore clearer and easier to measure.
The problem, so far, is that the brain signal is still not as accurate as scanning someone’s fingerprint and initially requires sticking diodes (二极管) on your head in order to get a read. That’s OK, according to Zhanpeng Jin, assistant professor at Binghamton University and coauthor of the study, because brainprint isn’t going to be mass-produced any time soon. He says the researchers foresee its use at places such as the Pentagon, where the number of authorized users is small, and they don’t need to be continuously verified the way you do to access your mobile device or email.
Better keep your memory sharp, at least a little while longer.

“He who bears the greatest hardship becomes the greatest man. ” This idiom shows Chinese people’s traditional belief in the vital role that hardship plays in a person’s life as they grow up. But today, as our lives have greatly improved, do we still need this so-called “hardship education”?
“We definitely do, ” said Wang Weiqiong, mother of a 15-year-old girl in Jiangxi. “Many children take everything for granted, as they’ve never known how difficult it is to make money.”
Wang is not alone. According to a recent survey of 2,017 people done by China Youth Daily, 81.8 percent of the interviewees supported hardship education including experiencing life in poor areas, outdoor training, taking part-time jobs, and doing housework.
Qiao Yu, from Tianjin Foreign Languages School, also supports the idea “Hardship helps us grow and be prepared for the difficulties of society, ” said the 18-year-old, who worked in a cake store this summer.
But while it contributes to students’ development, “hardship education shouldn’t be seen as simply making students suffer, ” Sun Yunxiao, deputy director of the China Youth and Children Research Center told China Youth Daily. “It should follow teenagers’ growth. ” Sun said that
students could also do sports to learn to face difficulties, for doing sports can greatly strengthen their bodies and minds.

书面表达参考范文:
The Chinese have a traditional belief that hardships contribute to one’s growth. A recent survey shows that many parents and students support it, but some experts are opposed to it .(30 words)
As is know, hardship education refers to all kinds of activities including community services, social practice, volunteer work and various sports, which allow teenagers to experience the difficulties of life and society, thus contributing to their growth.
In my eyes, with the fast development of our living standards, hardship education has become a must for the contemporary youth. For one thing, via hardship education, teenagers can enhance their overall quality such as courage and perseverance, and get better prepared for the future. For another thing, by participating in various activities, teenagers can build up their strength and develop surviving skills besides written knowledge.
To sum up, society, school and families should attach great importance to hardship education for all students.(120 words)
