In today's busy world, it's easy to get off the course of our life. Having a Life Map to _________helps us keep moving quickly and ________ towards our goals. It helps us quickly correct things when we are ________ a mess, and helps us find the right _________ to deal with unexpected problems.
But if we don't have the map, all the planning in the world won't _________. We’ll end up driving________ around, being distracted by many different paths. Even if you know _______ you want to go, you haven't tried and have no true method of getting there.
If you were going to drive to somewhere _________, firstly you would map it out. More likely, you often look at the _________ for directions to make sure that you were on the right track. You would be able to tell quickly if you needed to _________ adjustments, correct a mistake, or consider a(n) ________ of plans. Don't let your temporary, current desires take precedence(优先) over what you really want, because an important part of success is _________ what is and what isn't a distraction.
For example, as you are _________ for your party, you see a seller with some fresh flowers and you decide to stop and __________ some for your friends. In this __________, a stop along the way adds to your goal. _________, if you decide to stop and see a movie and arrive quite ________ at the party, then you have detracted from your goal.
It is exactly true for the Life Map. Each “opportunity” must be ________ according to how this will _______ your final goal---will this contribute to it ________ will this detract from it? Therefore, both the driving map and the Life Map serve the same high purpose: to keep you on the right track.

In today's fast-paced (快节奏) society, few people take time to enjoy the midday meal．Most of us just rush right through it. We grab a quick salad, or buy a sandwich and eat at our computers, Sometimes, if there is a deadline around the corner, we just skip lunch．
The development of technology hasn't done our eating habits much good either．We are constantly distracted by e-mail, social media, and 24 - hour news．Even when we do sit down for lunch, we are more connected to our hand - held electronic devices．
Long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems, and many developed countries have put in place labor laws specifically regarding the lunch break．These laws give employees the right to take a break during a long work shift, but it's up to them whether they do so or not．
Frank Partnoy, a former Wall Street trader, says that employers should encourage workers to take time off for lunch．This is because long lunch breaks can benefit both individuals and society.
Writing in The Guardian, Partnoy says that one obvious reason to take a lunch break is to slow down and gain some perspective（认识）． A break from work allows us to think strategically and outside the box．It also puts our daily tasks into a broader context（背景）．
What we eat at lunch is also important．In Partnoy' s opinion, a fast food lunch is more harmful than not having lunch at all． And it's not just about calories and unhealthy food．Recent studies show that fast food also has negative effects on how we think．
However, if we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat leisurely with colleagues, we are more likely to slow down, something that hardly can be achieved in a noisy and over — packed fast food chain．
Despite these benefits, some employees might still be unwilling to take time off for lunch．Partnoy's suggestion? Make skipping lunch difficult: Employers could ask workers to fill out a form stating their reasons for skipping the meal．
1.What does the underlined phrase "skip lunch" mean in the first paragraph?
A．have a quick lunch B．don't have lunch
C．work while having lunch D．take a lunch break
2.Which of the following is true according to the text?
A．Modern technology results in good diet habits．
B．Electronic devices make our life comfortable．
C．Many people are too busy to have a good lunch．
D．Laws have passed to make workers have lunch．
3.According to Frank Partnoy, long lunch breaks________.
A．are time for the workers to relax their mind
B．make the employees work longer hours
C．are for employees to have a quick lunch
D．make the workers eat a proper lunch at home
4.In Partnoy's opinion, a fast food lunch________.
A．saves a lot of time for a rest
B．affects people's way of thinking
C．is better than having no lunch
D．makes workers sit down and think
5.What might be the author's purpose in writing the text?
A．To warn us not to eat fast food．
B．To introduce Frank Partnoy's opinion．
C．To encourage us to work more efficiently．
D．To show the importance of a proper lunch．

Television has changed the lifestyle of people in every industrialized country in the world. In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made.
Television, although not essential, has become an important part of most people’s lives. It alters people’s ways of seeing the world; in many ways, it supports and sustains (维持) modern life.
Television has become a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, the major transmitter of culture, and a keeper of tradition. Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not a teacher but a sustainer; the poor quality of programming does not elevate (提高) people into greater understanding, but rather maintains and encourages the life as it exists.
The primary reason for the lack of quality in American television is related to both the history of TV programming development and the economics of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close relationship which the advertisers had with radio programs became the system for American TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the programs. Thus, in American society, television is primarily concerned with reflecting and attracting society rather than experimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible. To do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than educational, attractive rather than challenging.
Television in America today remains, to a large extent, with the same organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope for further development and true achievement toward improving society will require a change in the entire system.
1.According to the author, American television is poor in quality because _________.
A. it is controlled by radio companies
B. the programs have to be developed partly for economic reasons
C. advertisers are interested in experimenting with new ideas
D. it is still at an early stage of development, compared with the radio
2.In the author’s view, American TV should _________.
A. be entertaining and attractive
B. reflect society and attract society
C. attract as many viewers as possible
D. change with the development of society
3.Based on the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. TV has become a must in the American’s life.
B. One can expect to improve his understanding significantly from watching TV.
C. American TV is important to most people as it affects their life in many ways.
D. American TV nowadays has some different standards from the past.
4.The author’s attitude towards American television is _________.
A. negative B. positive
C. indifferent D. sympathetic
