& There was a time, not so long ago, when I was busy, busy. At least I thought I was. &&& I told people I worked 60 hours a week. I declared to sleep six hours a night. As I complained to anyone stuck next to me at parties, I was basically too busy to breathe. &&& Now I work 45 hours a week and sleep close to eight hours a night. But I’m not getting any less done. My secret？ I started keeping track of how I spent my time, logging how many hours and minutes I devoted to different activities, sleep and chores. &&& I soon realized I’d been lying to myself about where the time was going. What I thought was a 60-hour workweek wasn’t even close. I would have guessed I spent hours doing dishes when in fact I spent minutes. I spent much time lost on the Internet or hanging about, unsure exactly what I was doing. &&& I'm not alone in this time fog. If you believe results from some studies, plenty of people have false impressions of how they spend time in our “too-rushed-to-breath” world. &&& We all have the same 168 hours per week―a number few people think it over even as they talk about “24-7” with abandon―but since time passes whether we admit it or not. we seldom think through exactly how we’re spending our hours. &&& We also live in a competitive society, and so by complaining about our overwork, we show that we devoted to our jobs and our families. Being “busy” and “starved for time” is a way to show we matter. Put another way, it makes us feel important. &&& But if you think about it, complaining about a lengthy to-do list is not only boring, it’s sad excuse for one’s self-esteem（自尊）. Owning up to how we spend our hours gives us more control of our time, and finally, of our lives. 43. What does the author mainly talk about in the first two paragraphs？&&& A. He was made so busy all by himself.&&&& B. He was once terribly busy every day. &&& C. He has a good six-hour sleep a night.&&&&& D. He was too busy to stand his daily life. 44. The expression “24-7” （in Para. 6）most probably means __________. &&& A. 7 hours a day for rest or sleep&&&&& B. 7days a week and 24 hours a day. &&& C. 7 hours taken away from 24 hours&&&&&& D. work hours decreased from 24 to 7. 45. To settle our “time fog”, the author thinks, we should first __________. &&& A. build up self-confidence in our daily life&&& B. give up complaining about our lengthy to-do list. &&& C. know that it’s important to own enough available time&&& D. make it clear how much time we have improperly used. 46. What will the author most probably talk about next？&&& A. Why you are so busy.&&&& B. Where your time goes. &&& C. How to control your time.&&&&& D. How to evaluate work time. 43-46ABDC

＞＞＞Not very long ago, a special family system(体系) existed in ..
Not very long ago, a special family system(体系) existed in certain parts of South India. In the system, the actual head of a family unit was the mother’s eldest brother, though the mother also had an important position in the family. In families of this kind, a husband was actually no more than a visitor. He did not live with his wife, but with his own mother, brothers and sisters in another house. He saw his sons and daughters sometimes, but the man who actually fed and cared for them and acted as their father was their uncle--- their mother’s brother.But this system, in which brothers and sisters take the place of the father, no longer exists in South India except in a few villages. Economic(经济的) changes have had far- reaching effect on family life. Family life began to change when men went out to work in factories and offices instead of working with their mothers, brothers, and sisters on the land. When a man went out to work, he had money of his own and could buy his own land and build his own family, instead of depending on his mother and his brothers. He wanted to be independent(独立的). This is an example of the way in which economic relations can have an effect on family relationships.小题1: The best title of this passage is ______.A．Husband Actually Visitor in FamilyB．Family System in South IndiaC．Wife Has Important Position in FamilyD．Economic Relations Affects Family Relationships小题2: Who had the actual control of a family in South India not long ago?A．The mother.B．The mother’s eldest brother.C．The father.D．The father’s mother.小题3: In this system, the husband lived together with______.A．his wifeB．his sons and daughtersC．his mother, brothers and sistersD．his wife’s brother小题4:Now in South India there are__ of this system in which a husband has no control of his family.A．no familiesB．many more familiesC．very few familiesD．not any families

科教类阅读
科教类阅读的概念：
科教类阅读主要考查考生对书面语篇的整体领悟能力和接受及处理具体信息的能力。试题的取材，密切联系当前我国和世界经济、科技等方面的变化，有关数据的来源真实可信。科教类文章阅读技巧：
一、材料特点：这类文章的总体特点是：科技词汇多，句子结构复杂，理论性强，逻辑严谨。具体说来它有以下几个特点：　1、文章中词汇的意义比较单一、稳定、简明，不带感情色彩，具有单一性和准确性的特点。这类文章通常不会出现文学英语中采用的排比、比喻、夸张等修辞手法，一词多义的现象也不多见。　2、句子结构较复杂，语法分析较困难。为了描述一个客观事物，严密地表达自己的思想，作者经常会使用集多种语法现象于一体的长句。　3、常使用被动语态，尤其是一些惯用被动句式。二、命题特点：科普类阅读的主要命题形式有事实细节题、词义猜测题、推理判断题以及主旨概括题等，其中推理判断题居多。三、应对策略：1、要想做好科普英语阅读理解题，同学们就要注意平时多读科普知识类文章，学习科普知识，积累常见的科普词汇，从根本上提高科普英语的阅读能力。 2、要熟悉科普类文章的结构特点。科普类文章一般由标题(Head line)，导语(Introduction)，背景(Back ground)，主体(Main body)和结尾(End)五部分构成。标题是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括，但根据历年的高考情况来看，这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题，而要同学们选择标题。导语一般位于整篇文章的首段。背景交待一个事实的起因。主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述，这一部分命题往往最多，因此，阅读时，同学们要把这部分作为重点。结尾往往也是中心思想的概括，并与导语相呼应，命题者常在此要设计一道推理判断题。　　3、在进行推理判断时，同学们一定要以阅读材料所提供的科学事实为依据，同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的科普常识。科普类阅读应试策略：
【命题趋势】阅读理解题主要考查考生对书面语篇的整体领悟能力和接受及处理具体信息的能力。试题的取材，密切联系当前我国和世界经济、科技等方面的变化，有关数据的来源真实可信。因此科普知识类文章是每年的必考题。分析历年的科普类文章我们不难发现以下特点： 1、文章逻辑性强，条理清楚，语法结构简单，用语通俗。 2、文章内容注重科技领域的新发现。内容新颖，从而使文章显得陌生，内容抽象复杂。 3、命题方面注意对具体细节的准确理解和以之为依据的推理判断。 4、以人们的日常行为或饮食健康入手，探讨利弊，诠释过程，阐述概念。【应试对策】许多考生在考试时感到困惑的是：为什么一些没有超越中学语法和词汇范围的篇章，读起来却不能正确理解，或者要花费很多时间才能读懂呢？这种现象的产生与阅读方法有很大的关系。例如，有的考生在考试时一见到文章就立刻开始读，结果读了半天，还不知道短文讲的是什么，试题要求了些什么，结果浪费了大量的时间，而阅读效果并不好。那么，怎样读效果才好呢？任何一种阅读方法或技巧的使用，都是由篇章特点和试题本身的要求决定的，应根据不同的体裁和试题要求采取不同的策略。 1、浏览。浏览的主要目的就是确定文章的体裁。如果文章属于人物传记、记叙文、故事、科普小品和有关社会文化、文史知识的文章，一般来说，应该先看看文章的试题考查内容，对题目类型做到心中有数，针对不同问题，在通读时有粗有细地去阅读，这样不仅能把握篇章的基本结构和逻辑线索，也能做好有关具体事实信息考查的试题。 2、挖掘寓意，掌握中心思想，推出结论。任何文章，作者在行文时都有一定的写作目的和主要话题。在通读篇章时应该吃透作者的写作意图，抓住文章的主题句，充分发挥自己的想象力和概括力，作出对中心思想的归纳和结论的推断。 3、把握篇章结构，利用上下文进行推测。高考中的阅读理解篇章往往是一个较完整的短文，其结构、思想，前后上下连贯统一。考试时应充分利用这一特点推测一些生词、短语在句中的含义，切莫盲目孤立猜测。 4、综观全篇，前后呼应。这是阅读理解的最后一步，在做完阅读理解题后，要立足于文章整体，再迅速读一遍短文，短文中的问题和答案的设置前后都是相关联的，有着一定的连续性，体现着文章的基本脉络。

＞＞＞Reading comprehension. Not long ago I was invited out to di..
Reading comprehension.
&&&&& Not long ago I was invited out to dinner by a girl called Jane. I have met Jane only twice, and she was very beautiful.&&&& &I was very pleased. "She loves me" I thought. "I am sorry at such short notice." She said when I arrived,"but we suddenly knew there were going to be thirteen people at the table,so we had to find someone else." Believing that the number 13 is unlucky is a typical of superstition. Recently I came across a little group of worried people.They gathered round a man lying on the pavement (人行道)beside a road in London. They were waiting for an ambulance, for the man had been knocked down by a passing taxi. He had stapped off the pavement and into the street in order not to walk under a ladder (梯子). To see a black cat in England islucky. But if you see a black cat in India, it is considered very unlucky. There, if you are about to set out ona long journey, and someone sneezes, you should not go. If you break a mirror, you will have seven year's bad luck. Just superstition, of course.

故事类阅读
故事类阅读：文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。阅读这类材料时，同学们一定要根据主要情节掌握文章主旨大意，同时抓住每一个细节，设身处地根据文章内容揣摩作者的态度和意图，根据情节展开想象，即使是碰到深层理解题也可迎刃而解。故事类阅读注意：初中生接触到的阅读材料大都是故事类。阅读故事类的材料，应该抓住人物线索、地点线索、时间线索和情节发展线索。特别注意的是，以上线索往往是并存的。因为情节的发展总是涉及到人物的变化、时间的推移、场景的变换等。而阅读材料后的阅读理解往往会围绕这些内容设计一些事实类的理解题。凡事实类的理解题都可以从阅读材料的表层文字中找到答案。在阅读故事类短文时，应理解文章的深层含义，也就是它的主题。在此需要注意的是，现在的阅读理解题在测试事实类的理解题的同时，往往有一道推理类理解测试题．

Not long ago, the only time you could see a robot was when you were reading a novel or watching a movie such as Star Wars (星球大战) . Today, however, a lot of things in science stories have been science facts. Robots are starting to appear in our everyday lives. These robots have different sizes, shapes, and colors. But they all have the same type of man-made “brain”. Leading the robot revolution （革命）are industrial(企业) robots that work in factories. Industrial（工业） robots can do different kinds of jobs that are often boring and sometimes dangerous. Robots are also coming to American homes, though not as quickly as they are entering factories. These robots aren’t as friendly and bright as those you saw in &Star Wars. But, their makers say, today’s home robots “walk”, sense objects(感知物体) in their way (and sometimes knock into them), and even carry objects (which they sometimes drop). Well, nobody is perfect. We may laugh at home robot today, but some day they may see and hear better than humans do. We humans can only see certain wavelengths（波长） of light, and hear certain sounds. That’s because the abilities of our eyes and ears are limited. Robots, however, need not have the same limits as we have. Robot may also be equipped with devices that pick up information humans can’t. To understand what their sensing devices(传感器) pick up is a hard job. Remember, man—made brains handle(处理)information, including all kinds of data, as zeroes and ones. Imagine the difficulty in trying to explain to a robot what a football looks like—using only zeroes and ones.【小题1】 From the passage, we can see that factory robots _________.A．help to improve other types of robots$ \6 _% H- \9 a9 ^7 C B．are most active in industrial revolution) Y1 B* e3 `( X! e7 ] C．are playing a more important role than other types of robots! \" Q/ L+ A% J2 [/ K D．are the tallest type among robots
