This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes
them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being
unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and
clumsy._71__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the
important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in
human history. __72__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without
such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or
otherwise looking like a fool?
First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others.
Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__73_ And if you want to
improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it
while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a
shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.
It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really
need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to
avoid falling asleep.__74__
Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved
slowly away.____75_
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the
clouds.
A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.
B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.
D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.

E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and
attentive.
F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be
hard to understand.
G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re
in the daydream zone.

A. The mistaken belief
B. The need for tolerance
C. Unpunctuality at dinners
D. Punctuality and confidence
E. Self-discipline and punctuality
F. Avoid anxiety by being punctual
61. A
There is the belief that, if you arrive at an appointment late, you will be
considered important. This is a mistaken view. Being unpunctual, we are not respectful
of others ; we are interfering ( 扰乱)with another man's time. We must realise that
keeping appointments or being punctual is a contract that is silently agreed and we are
expected to respect this contract. It is only natural that we lose faith, trust and confidence
in a person who is tardy(延迟的).
62. E
To be punctual one has to have self-discipline(自律), and the lack of it affects
others. A school boy or girl is unpunctual because he or she does not have the necessary
human virtue of self-discipline. It is also a mark of disrespect for a system or an
institution. Unpunctual people seldom realise that their habit cause problems to others. A
salesman who is not punctual may not make a sale if he arrives late for an appointment.
If one is late for a job interview, it is not likely that he will get the job.
63. F
Being punctual, we can avoid anxiety. Imagine the anxiety if you do not want to
be considered unpunctual. You will be anxious if you set out for a dinner late. The person
who sets out late might be careless in driving. He will ignore traffic rules. A traffic jam,
flat tyres, etc. can delay him further. Happy and calm is the man who takes all these
第 2 页 / 共 22 页
possibilities into consideration and arrives at the appointment either early or on time.
64. C
Many of those who attend dinners are notorious (声名狼藉的)for unpunctuality.
They ignore the appointed time and leave their homes only after the fixed time. They are
indifferent to the inconvenience caused to others. If the self-centred guest arrives late, the
nine others at the table set for ten will have to wait. The host is put in an unpleasant
situation and this man seldom thinks of the inconvenience caused to all -the waiters, the
management staff, etc. It is necessary for us to think of others and be considerate to them.
65 B
However, we cannot always be intolerant (无法容忍的) of tardiness, for ordinary
living requires some tolerance. There can be a busy executive who fights to keep to his
schedule. Such a person may be forgiven if he is late, but not those who are deliberately
late to create impression.
In modern society, punctuality is a necessary virtue. It is a recognition of the
importance of other people.

Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in
the length of the runs. 36 , buy the best-fitting running shoes you can find. No one can
say which brand will work best for you or feel best on your feet, so you have to rely on
your experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop. When you have found shoes
that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double-check the fit. 37 . As always,
you should stretch(伸展) at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries.
During the first week, do not think about distance, but run five minutes longer each
day. 38 , it is wise to take a day off to rest. But during the next week, set a goal of at
least a mile and a half per run. 39 . After two weeks, start timing yourself. 40 .
Depending on the kind of race you plan to enter, you can set up a timetable for the
remaining weeks before the race.

Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences, 36 .Trust is a risk.
But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from
an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been stolen from,
lied to , misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people
simply can’t trust anymore, 37. It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in
a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
38 having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you
can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.
39
If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s
a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point
in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.
You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking
at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful
for all of the good in your life. 40 instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the
experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
A. Learn to really trust yourself.
B. It is putting confidence in someone.
C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E. They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.
F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.

Secret codes (密码)keep messages private。Banks, companies, and government agencies
use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.
People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落
后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called
cryptography.
There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My
elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”
38 You might represent each letter with a number, For example, Let’s number the
letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter,
the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 20 13 5.”
A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a
real code, you must have a code book. 39
For example “bridge“ might stand for “meet”
and “ out” might stand for “ me.” The message “ bridge out” would actually mean
“Meet me.”40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes
must be changed frequently.
A.It is very hard to break a code without the code book.
B.In any language, some letters are used more than others.
C.Only people who know the keyword can read the message.
D.As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.
E.You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.
F.With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.
G.Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.

A garden that’s just right for you
Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the
garden appeared to total more than the sum( 总和) of its parts? 16 . But it doesn’t happen by
accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the
natural world and how you approach the gardening process.
●___17
Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of
color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer

fertilizers(肥料). 18 . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you
want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.
●Recall(回忆)your childhood memories
Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and
Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important. 19 --how being in
those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking
some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 20 then go outside and work out a plan to translate
your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.

Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 16 But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at
home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as
much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult. 17 This text is
about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.
18 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any
fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh. 19 When you have bought a fish and arrive home,
you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should
be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.
There are many common methods used to cook fish. 20
First,
lean it and season it with your choice of spices(调料).
Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one p
ound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.
A. Do not buy it.
B. The easiest is to steam it.
C. This is how you can do it.

D. It just requires a little knowledge.
E. The fish will go bad within hours.

Five Things Nobody Told Me about College
As I type this , I am in my university dorm room. A year ago, when I was awaiting to hear the
results of my college applications, I often went to websites for some type of insider look on what
college would be like. However, there’s only so much that prep books, websites, and older friends
can teach. Here are the top 5things nobody told me about college:
61
Nobody entering a university knows exactly what they want to study. If they tell you
otherwise, they’re lying and will probably change what they want to purse within the first quarter of
attendance . During my first quarter at University of California, Riverside (UCR),I thought that I
wanted to study Political Science with its focus on International Affairs, so that’s what I applied for.
However, once I worked with statewide and local government, I realized that a better fit for me
would be Public Policy, and now I am in the process of changing my area.
62
In college, there are so many good chances for you to meet your expectations. However,
there is a very important difference between wanting to do something and applying for something.
In order for you to take advantage of the conferences, research, internships ,and fellowships that
your university offers, apply! Step into your academic advisor’s office, introduce yourself, and begin
making the valuable connections that are necessary to help during the rest of your college career.
Great things happen when you step out of your comfort zone, and you would be surprised on how
第 7 页 / 共 22 页
many chances exist if you just ask.
63
College is where you meet your birdesmaids, neighbors, and potential bosses. The
relationships you develop now will probably be linked to the ones you value later, so be wise about
the people who you invest yourself in . You are only one person, and you do not have time to waste
on people who would rather cause drama or mess up with your purpose. Surround yourself with
uplifting individuals who challenge you to be better while loving you for who you are, and be patient
to the people who are the complete opposite of that description.
64
As a first-year, I was afraid to make any noise towards campus issues that I noticed. It was not
until I became involved in student government that I gained the confidence to handle projects that I
created with the help of ASUCR Office of the President. During my first quarter, I spoke directly to
the Chancellor, asking him for support towards my initiavives, met with the Vive Chancellors, and
coorerated with my teaching assistances to begin my undergraduate research protect. Nothing good
will happen when you are silent.
65
At my high school, there were about only four active club and organizations that students could
be a part of. Imagine my surprise when I stepped foot onto UCR’s campus, where over 400
organizations exist, ranging from political organizations to karate club. You are not paying all or your
tuition(学费)to merely go to class, study,pass tests and graduate. Make something worthy out of
your experience. Create that you will want to tell your grandchildren one day. It all begins here, by
signing up to join an organization.

We all go through times when we feel we are not good enough. We might feel that way at work or in
school or even as a parent. Here are some things to remember when you feel like that.
36.When I started my Ph.D. program, I felt like the dumbest person in every class. I couldn’t believe
how many smart people were there. I didn’t know if I could measure up to their intelligence or
compete in the same league with them. Years later, I found out that almost everyone felt this way,
too.
You are unique and have special talents. If you can barely make Hamburger Helper , don’t
compare yourself to your sister who is a chef( 厨师). I’m sure you can do many things that she
can’t. 37
You are you. You are not your sister.

You need to stop chasing perfection. It doesn’t exist. What’s perfect to me is not perfect to you. So
if you think that there is some objective measurement of perfection and that the rest of the world is
judging you against, then you are wrong. 38.
39.
Our sense of self-worth is based in our thoughts. We have been programmed for many years
with thoughts about ourselves. Messages come from our parents, our peers, teachers, the media
and our own labels. But guess what? They are only thoughts. Just because you think these thoughts,
it doesn’t make them true. 40.
A. You have the power to change your future.
B. So focus on your own passions and talents.
C. You are not the only one who feels this way.
D. If you love yourself for who you are, other people will notice.
E. You need to change your thought patterns.
F. One of my favorite sayings is, “Don’t believe a negative thought you think!”
G. Most people are too worried about their own lack of perfection to judge you.

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my
weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people
who enjoyed insects bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They
had nothing in common with me. 36
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer.
37
We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long
distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother
Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and
the doctor`s bill for my son`s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the
wilderness.

Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the
alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body
clock 36 Here is how to make one.
● 37 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important.
Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some
exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your
reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-
arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your
family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags.
38 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee
maker with a timer.
Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday
night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the
weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study

down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at
your record. 40 If not, take another look at other methods you could try.

Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats
are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month.
71
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories.
72
We know
that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections
between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have
been unclear.
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between
neurons( 神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh
memories to form the next day.
73
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right.
74
The
synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent
smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between
neurons weaken while sleeping.
If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night`s,
we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our
brains may have smaller room for new experiences.
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even
though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to
be protected and stayed the same size.
75
“You keep what matters,” Tononi
says.
A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.
B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.
C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.
D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.

learning.

How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews
The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the
streets with a cameraman to interview people on the sport. _____31_____ But with
these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.
When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews
for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general
questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental
problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental
protection is important in America?” _____32_____
Hit the streets with confidence. _____33_____ Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ
News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic.”
This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.
Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not intereste
Don’t get discouraged.
● 34 Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten
minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make
sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of
answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won’t be able to use it.
A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 35
● If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to
appear on the air, don’t leave work without them.
A. Limit your time.
B. As you approach people, be polite.
C. If you don’t own a camera, you can buy one.
D. For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.
E. To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.

causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry
are triggering（触发）events, personality traits（特征）, and our assessment of situations. 51

pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching,
experiencing physical pain, and much more. ____52____ The reason why someone is triggered by
something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits.

personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely
to get angry. 53 Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but
rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.
54 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself.
Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.
55 However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to
appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level
of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our
feelings.

B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.

angry.
E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background

of your mind.
F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate
ourselves with a critical eye.
G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person
may or may not trigger another.
