Begin doing the work you love as soon as possible, even if you don’t get paid for it, or if you can only work at it part-time. Albert Einstein was unable to get a job as a physics professor. He could have said to himself, “Well, I just don’t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for something else.” Instead, he wrote the two most famous papers when he was employed as a patent  clerk. After their publication, there was not a major university in the world that would not have been glad to have him on their staff.

If you want to work as an artist and you are making a living as a waiter, don’t think of yourself as a waiter who hopes one day to become an artist. That puts the work you love somewhere off in the distant future. Rather, think of yourself as an artist, supporting yourself by waiter tables—and paint, or draw as much as you can. It is possible to earn a living wage as a waiter working 24 hours a week. That leaves plenty of time to devote to training or developing your craft（手艺）in the off hours.

While seeking the work you love, it helps to expand your awareness  into the universe of all possibilities. You don’t want to be limited to the ideas of what you should do or what you have done before. Having opened to all possibilities, you can make a final decision and select the work you love as your own.

Doing the work you love requires that you be equally comfortable with the imaginative and the practical. It requires the ability to dream big dreams and the ability to face and master all the little details that make dreams come true.

1.According to the passage, perhaps Einstein once said to himself, “_______.”

A．Well, I just don’t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for

something else

B．The job is just what I want, I should work very hard at it

C．I have to support myself by working as a patent clerk now, but I won’t give physics up

D．I must wait until I find my favorite job

2.If a person works 24 hours a week, he can________.

A．have enough spare time for his hobbies

B．have no time left to make his dream come true

C．do nothing else

D．make a good living

3.Which of the following is not implied in the last paragraph?

A．Sometimes the imaginative is different from the practical.

B．We have to take care of a lot of details before we make our dreams come true.

C．We shall do practical things rather than dream.

D．We shall dream big dreams and practice as well.

4.According to the passage, the author encourages us to ________.

A．start work quickly                                 B．select job carefully and patiently

C．dream often                                        D．make up our minds quickly

Things Your Pilot Won't Tell You

You may not be getting the airline you paid for．

You may go to an airline website and buy a ticket, and get onto an airplane that has a similar name painted on it, but half the time, you're really on a regional （地方的） airline．The regionals aren't held to the same safety standards as the majors: their pilots aren't required to have as much training and experience, and the public doesn't know that．

—Captain at a major airline

If you're a nervous flier, book a morning flight．

The heating of the ground later causes bumpier （颠簸的） air, and it's much more likely to thunderstorm in the afternoon．

—Jerry Johnson , pilot, Los Angeles

The smoothest place to sit is often over or near the wing．

The bumpiest place to sit is in the back．If you're in the middle, you don't move as much．

—Patrick Smith, pilot, and author of Cockpit Confidential

Sit in the front if you want fresher air．

The general flow of air in any airplane is from front to back．So if you're really concerned about breathing the freshest possible air or not getting too hot, sit as close to the front as you can．Planes are generally warmest in the back．

—Tech pilot at a regional airline, Texas

You never know where the safest seat is．

There is no safest place to sit．In one accident, the people in the back are dead; in the next, it's the people up front．

—John Nance, aviation safety analyst and retired airline captain, Seattle

I've been struck by lightning twice．

Most pilots have．Airplanes are built to take it．You hear a big boom and see a big flash and that's it．You're not going to fall out of the sky．

—Charlotte, pilot for a regional earner,．North Carolina

People don't understand why they can't use their cell phones．

Well, what can happen is 12 people will decide to call someone just before landing, and I can get a false reading on my instruments saying that we are higher than we ideally are．

—Jim Tilmon, retired American Airlines pilot, Phoenix

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Even if you don't have to work, eat or sleep, you won't be able to get through all information on blogs and social networks. The problem we face is that much of this information seems very interesting at first glance. Actually, much of the information is unimportant, disposable and it distracts us from more meaningful pursuits. Worse still, when we spend lots of time consuming information from our social media streams, we may find it hard to concentrate on what we’re doing and we have a tendency to forget what we have consumed anyway.

A new study from Sweden’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology has found that too much social media exposure actually reduces your ability to process information and depletes (耗尽) your short-term working memory.

Our working memory plays a critical role in our capacity to filter (过滤) information and remember what is valuable but it is not a limitless resource. Erik Fransen, a professor in Computer Science at KTH and the leader of this is new study on social media overload says this can explain why our capacity (容量) for processing information begins to fail when we attempt to put more information in the working memory.

In fact, when you try to process the information like speech or video, you are going to need partly the same system of working memory, so you are reducing your own working memory capacity. And when you try to store many things in your working memory, you get less good at processing information.

It is the periods of downtime of your brain—preferably disconnected from the distractions of your computer or smartphone—that are needed for memory consolidation (巩固) and transferring important information to your exposure to new information. Besides, you can empty your mind of thoughts quickly to relax completely, go for a short walk or spend a few minutes listening to music. This will help you improve your capacity to process information and increase your productivity.

1.What can we learn about social media overload from Paragraph 1?

A. It distracts our attention.　　 B. It is beneficial to us.

C. It brings us whatever we want.　　 D. It keeps us informed of everything.

2.Why does your capacity for processing information begin to fall sometimes?

A. Much of the information is unimportant.

B. Your working memory is a limited resource.

C. You're less good at processing information.

D. You don't make the most of your brain.

3.Which is recommended to relax your brain?

A. Thinking over things carefully.　　 B. Listening to music for a while.

C. Taking enough physical exercise.　　 D. Focusing more on the present.
