About 10 years ago,I sat in my office,struggling to write an annual progress report for my leader. I enjoy writing scientific papers that engage my creativity and further my research. But report writing doesn’t come with any reward apart from the momentary satisfaction of finishing something. Like other routine paperwork,I find it hard to get through. So that day,I offered myself a reward : When I finished the report,I'd give myself 2 hours to examine slides (载玻片)under the microscope — a task I've always loved but never had much time for as a staff member. It ’ s a strategy I call " just for fun"，.
The strategy was born out of challenges I experienced in graduate school. I usually delayed putting together reports for university administrators until threatening letters arrived. I never felt that paperwork was advancing my science, but rather sapping my energy and time for research. One of my committee members recognized and understood my difficulties. Then he told me about his strategy of rewarding himself with a fun project when he completed a task that he didn’t particularly enjoy. He advised me to think about doing something similar. I immediately liked the idea.
Over the course of my career，this strategy helped me complete and move past the parts of my job that I didn’t particularly enjoy. The rewards I gave myself provided a way to relax and reminded me why I love being a scientist.
As for that annual report,I spent an ordinary morning on it but got it done. Then I hurried over to the microscope ， eager to inspect a series of slides that my collaborators (合作者) had sent a couple of weeks earlier. To others， it may have looked like work. But to me,it was just for fun.
1.Why does the author dislike report writing?
A.He receives too little from it.
B.It is extremely easy to finish.
C.It needs too much creativity.
D.He doesn’t major in writing.
2.What does the underlined word " sapping" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Acquiring. B.Consuming.
C.Lacking . D.Providing.
3.How did the author get his strategy?
A.Through the inspiration of his report writing.
B.Through the reward of his collaborators.
C.Through the instructions of university administrators.
D.Through a committee member’s suggestion.
4.What can we learn from the author’s experience?
A.Choose a career you really like.
B.Seek fun when doing science research.
C.Motivate yourself to finish boring tasks.
D.Reward yourself with a new strategy.

In the suburban district of a city lived an old woman quite alone. Her husband died thirty years ago and two years later, her only son went away with lung cancer. So she had no family still living and her only friend was a little white dog who went everywhere with her - with one exception. The dog loved the fireplace in winter, and after the old woman went to bed he would sometimes go and lie in front of the warm coals. Usually though, the dog lay on a rug right next to the bed.
Deeply as the old woman loved her dog, she wouldn't allow the dog on the bed with her. However, if she became frightened or had a nightmare, she would put her hand down to her little white dog and he would lick it to calm her down.
One night she was reading the newspaper just before going to sleep. She trembled and pulled the duvet（羽绒被褥）up around her as she read that a mental patient had wandered out from a nearby hospital. No one knew if the patient was dangerous or not, but he was a suspect in the murders of several women who lived alone.
The woman turned off the lights and tried to sleep, but she was frightened, and turned over continually. Finally, she reached down to where her little white dog slept. Sure enough, a warm, wet tongue began to lick her hand. The woman felt reassured and safe, and left her hand hanging off the side of the bed. As she turned to settle in comfortably she opened her eyes for a moment and looked through the open door into the living room.
There in front of the fireplace, sat her little white dog, gazing at the coals and wagging his tail. And down beside her bed, something was still licking her hand.
1.From the first paragraph we can know that _________.
| A．her husband died following her son |
| B．the old woman was through with her relatives |
| C．the dog wasn’t always keeping her company . |
| D．the dog sometimes was tired of her |
2.Why didn’t she allow the dog on the bed with her?
| A．Because the dog was too dirty. |
| B．Because she was fearful of dogs. |
| C．Because the author dislikes keeping dogs. |
| D．The author didn’t mention the reason for it. |
3.The reason the old woman shivered was that _____________.
| A．she was too old to stand the cold weather |
| B．the room temperature came down with a run |
| C．she was reading a frightening story |
| D．a news story was carried in the paper |
4.Seeing the dog still sitting by the fireplace, __________.
| A．the old woman would call him to her |
| B．the old woman would be frightened to half death |
| C．would be luck to have another dog |

Earlier this month， the University of Glasgow in Scotland launched a course entitled： D'oh! The Simpsons Introduce Philosophy． The course's aim is to ease students into the typically heavy topic by relating it to the popular cartoon family．
"The Simpsons is one of the modern world's greatest cultural artifacts， partly because it is so full of philosophy，" John Donaldson， creator of the course， told the BBC． "Aristotle， Kant， Marx， Camus and many other great thinkers' ideas are represented in what is arguably the purest of philosophical forms - the comic cartoon．"
While this may seem like an unusual way to attract pupils to a traditionally dull topic， this class isn't the first of its kind． In 2009， Liverpool Hope University in the UK began offering a master's degree on the music of internationally known 60's group The Beatles， which still runs today． The following year， the UK's Durham University gave students the chance to enroll on a Harry Potter-themed module， covering contents such as "Gryffindor and Slytherin： prejudice and intolerance in the classroom" and "muggles and magic"．
To some， these courses may seem like a waste of a valuable education， but Donaldson believes that packaging certain topics into something easier to relate to will enhance the learning experience， without distraction from the main subject． "Firstly， scholars want to be taken seriously by other scholars and ideas like this can be seen as not serious，" he tells iNews． "There are definitely ways to incorporate popular culture into academic subjects that still remains substantial and doesn't take away from the quality of the ideas．"
Already booked full， Donaldson's Simpsons class isn't meant to be taken as seriously， however． The lecturer says that his one-day course， which will pose philosophical questions around morality， free will， and religion by relating them to scenarios from The Simpsons， aims to introduce students to his area of expertise greatly while they have a bit of fun．
1.From Paragraph 2， we can learn that ______ ．
A. many great thinkers appear in The Simpsons
B. The Simpsons contains many philosophical ideas
C. John Donaldson creates the cartoon The Simpsons
D. the main reason for The Simpsons' success is its philosophy
2.The third paragraph is developed mainly ______ ．
A. by making a comparison
B. by following the order of time
C. by analyzing the process
D. by giving examples
3.What does the underlined word " scenarios" in the last paragraph mean？ ______
A. Characters． B. Settings．
C. Plots． D. Images．
4.The passage mainly talks about ______ ．
A. a creative philosophy course
B. a popular comic cartoon
C. a reform of traditional subjects
D. an enterprising lecturer
