In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, emailing, sending and reading messages. We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no 36

for stillness.

And when we are 37 to be still because we're in line for something, or waiting at a doctor's appointment, or on a bus or train, we often 38 something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn't something we're 39 .

This comes at a 40  : we lose that time for 41, for observing and listening. We lose peace.

And 42  yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, but get 43  done.

Take a moment to think about 44  you spend your days．Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering 45  , checking on the news and the latest stream of information? Are you always 46  through your schedule?

Is this how you want to spend your 47  ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be 48. Don't think about what you have to do, or what you've done already. 49  be in the moment.

Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you'd 50  it to be. See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration; more 51. Then be that vision.

It's pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day 52  you've gotten used to that, try doing less each day.Breathe when you feel yourself moving too 53  . Slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of 54  for it. 55  the stillness. It's a treasure，and it's available to us, always.

Rush hour traffic is a problem in many big cities around the world. Commuters (上下班者) rush to and from their jobs in cars, buses, subways, trains, and even on bicycles. Large cities in the United States have two rush hours –– one in the morning and one in the evening. But in cities in other parts of the world, there are four rush hours. In Athens and Rome, for example, many workers go home for lunch and a nap. After this midday break, they rush back to their jobs and work for a few more hours.

In Tokyo, there’s a big rush hour underground. Most of the people in Tokyo take the subways. The trains are very crowded. Subway employees called packers wear white gloves and help pack the commuters into the trains when the doors close. They make sure that all purses, briefcases, clothes, and hands are inside the trains.

In Seoul, many commuters prefer to take taxis to get to work. To hail a cab，many people stand at crossroads and raise two fingers. This means they’ll pay the cab driver double the usual fare. Some people even raise three fingers! They’ll pay three times the normal rate.

Streets in Rome are very crowded with automobiles and mopeds (摩托自行车) during rush hours. The city can’t make its streets wider, and it can’t build new highways, because it doesn’t want to disturb the many historic sites in the city, such as the Forum and the Coliseum. It took the city fifteen years to construct a new subway system. Construction had to stop every time workers found old artifacts and discovered places of interest to archaeologists (考古学家).

In many big cities, there are special lanes on highways for carpools. These are groups of three or more people who drive to and from work together. They share the costs of gas and parking and take turns driving into the city.

1.Big cities have traffic problems during rush hours because there are_______.

A. special lanes on highways　　 B. many commuters

C. four rush hours　　 D. many cars on the street

2.Most of the commuters in Tokyo_______.

A. take subway trains to work　　 B. are pack ers

C. take taxis to work　　 D. carry briefcases to work

3.To “hail a cab” in Paragraph 3 means to________.

A. pay double the normal fare　　 B. try to get a cab

C. prefer to take taxis　　 D. to stand at crossroads

4.Commuters in carpools probably______.

A. live in the city　　 B. take the subway to work

C. save money on gas and parking fee　　 D. have special license plates (牌照)

The demands of the modern world are growing day by day and this is putting more pressure on scientists to do research. However, as stated by Griffiths, “There is no hope of doing perfect research”. Naturally, there have been a lot of criticisms (批评), as many scientists immediately announce that their research methods are very safe and that they have the perfect research theory (理论).

However, scientific history is filled with examples, in which a perfect scientific solution that was based on decades of scientific research has been overturned (推翻) with new theories. Naturally the first example that comes to mind is the fact that Newton’s Theories were thought to be very safe and they were used in all fields of science. For centuries, thousands of scientists around the world used Newton’s Theories to formulate (规划) other theories.

However, after nearly two centuries of use, Newton’s Theories were found to be not as perfect as they were thought. Through Einstein’s publication on the General Theory of Relativity, it was found that Newton’s laws were imperfect in explaining all motions (运动) that were taking place in our universe. It was found to be imperfect under some conditions, even though, Newton’s laws are still used today to predict motion at low speeds.

Thus, perfect research is only a myth (神话). Of course, this does not mean that a scientist should simply give up and accept imperfection in his or her research efforts. Improvements and changes in research techniques and methods are a natural part of evolution (进化) and it is each scientist’s responsibility to take it forward as much as possible.

While the final answer to the universe’s questions may never exist, a time will come when there will be fewer questions as new answers are found and more improved research is carried out by scientists around the world.

1.Why have there been a lot of criticisms?

A. The modern world demands mor e and more.

B. Scientists have a negative attitude.

C. Many scientists arrive at their conclusions (结论) too fast.

D. Griffiths does not believe what scientists say.

2.Through the publication of the General Theory of Relativity, Newton’s Theories turned out to be ______.

A. not so perfect　　 B. completely wrong　　 C. very safe　　 D. very exact

3.What will scientists do to deal with the “imperfectness” problem?

A. Accept the fact and give up.

B. Improve and change their methods and techniques.

C. Try their best to carry out the perfect study.

D. Ignore it and do as they please.

4.We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.

A. the universe’s questions are sure to have a final answer

B. the number of questions is sure to increase with the passing of time

C. scientists are carrying out improved studies

D. there will be more scientists in the world in the future

Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.

Many roads and places in Singapore are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries —in both the West and the East.

Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus —obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.

Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay（马来语）. Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.

A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent（月牙） because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.

1.What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Change suddenly.

B．Change significantly.

C．Disappear mysteriously.

D．Disappear very slowly.

2.Which of the following places is named after a person?

A．Raffles Place.                          B．Selector Airbase.

C．Piccadilly Circus.                        D．Paya Lebar Crescent.

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.

B．Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.

C．The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.

D．Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.
