He called out to me saying. “Papa, sit”. That usually means leaving everything and sitting down to play with him. As he will not stop calling out till I give in. He was playing with beads (珠子), an exercise to help build the motor skills. Anyway, so after he finished playing with the beads he began to put them in their box. He did that very slowly and carefully as if they were made of chocolate. And with over a hundred beads to go, I was getting tired “Why could he not pick up 10 in one go and put them in?” said my anxious mind. Damn! My morning was going to go for a toss today. And then it hit me like a brick. This boy was enjoying the whole process. For him the fun was in the game, in the preparation for the game and in the process of properly collecting and picking up. It was not just about his turnor the fun part. Every bit was as fun as the other. “What a great view to have.” I thought to myself. To live each moment as it is the perfect moment. To do each task as if it were the most awesome task to do. Nothing else matters. I thought of myself as a kid when we would go out to play cricket(扳球). If I was not playing, I was unhappy as I desperately waited for my toss to do so. Only the process of doing something I associated with happiness made me cheerful. The rest of the time I was waiting for my turn in the future or thinking of a great hit from the past. This is also how I have so often lived my life, waiting for something in the future or looking back on what it was like in the past. Now, Advait was showing me that life was about thoroughly living every moment with complete love and peace. I realized that the truest and happiest moments of my life have been the ones where I fully participated without thoughts of the past or the future.36.Wecaninferthatthewriter .A.likedplayingbeadswhenhewasachild B.likeddoingexercisetohelpbuildhisskillsC.wasntquitewillingtoplaywithhisson D.didntallowhissontoeatmuchchocolate37.Theunderlinedphrase“goforatoss”probablymeans“ ”.A.beruinedB.beforgotten C. becomecheerfulD.becomerelaxing38.Whenthewriterwasakid, he_.A.hatedthinkingofthepastB.failedtoenjoyeverymomentC.wascrazyaboutdoingsports D.oftenassociatedcricketwithhappiness39.Whatwouldthewriterprobablydonext?A.Gotoplayacricketgame.

The theory is most often credited to a 1993study by K. Anders Ericsson (which has been mentioned more than 4,000 times, according to Google Scholar). But a new review of that study and other research in the field came to a different conclusion: Practice is not as vital as previously thought. In the new paper, published in Intelligence, the authors write that “we have evidence that deliberate practice, while important, is not as important as Ericsson has argued it is - evidencethat it does not largely account for individual differences in performances.” The authors of the new paper re-analyze scores of studies on outstanding chess players and musicians. They point out that there is significant variation in how long it took for people to get to the level of a chess master. One player in a 2007 study, for example, “took 26 years ofserious involvement in chess to reach a master level, while another player took less than 2years to reach this level”they write. They conclude that practice can only explain one-third of the success in chess and music, and probably other fields as well. The evidence is “quite clear that some people do reach an outstanding level ofperformance without plentiful practice, while other people fail to do so although they doplentiful practice,” they write. They suggest that other factors together explain the lions shareof success (at least in these two most-studied areas), such as intelligence, staffing age, personality and other factors.Despite their new analysis, the authors write that the debate is likely to continue “formany years to come,” which makes me think: Perhaps the “10,000 hour rule” should bedefined(定义) as “the amount of time scholars spend arguing over what factors explainsuccess.41.

How did the new study get its conclusion? A. By studying dozens of chess players. B. By studying other peoples research. C. Through 26 years of serious study. D. Through large amount of practice.44.

One of the answers is that teachers often havechildren covering material at home by themselves that they do not discuss during schooltime at all. Of course, the teachers reasoning for this is that there arent enough hours in the dayand they want to cover more areas on a certain subject. Some experts on education say there is no evidence to suggest that homework is helpfulto student achievement. On the contrary, too much of it can cause students to quit. Otherexperts, however, say that homework is necessary and helpful. They insist that homework isdesigned so students can practice the concepts taught in class, build good study habits, andreflect on their own learning.【写作内容】1.以约30词概括上文的主要内容：2.以约l 20 词就“高三学生的学习”谈谈你的想法，内容包括：(1)你的课后作业是否过多？ (2)高三学生是否需要做大量课后作业？( 3)你如何安排课外的学习时间？_高三英语作业12 I、语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分）16.attractive17.started 18.where 19.Though/Although/While 20.decision21.meeting22.and23.we 24.the25.around/round/overII、阅读41.A 42.D 43.B 44.B 45.C46.C47.A 48.D 49.F50.B读写任务（共1小题，每小题25分）参考范文1：It is reported that many teenagers are having too much homework to do.

Instead, I can still find timeto do some extra reading every day.In my opinion, large amount of homework for students of senior 3 is certainly necessarysince we can apply what weve learned in class and have a better understanding of the knowledgeafter doing our homework. Whats more, more homework means more chances to discover ourshortcomings and adjust our learning habits.My homework usually takes up part of my out-of-class time, and I spend the rest of the timelearning on my own since it is my belief that independent learning is a good supplement to teachers teaching.All in all, we should use our out-of-class time properly and efficiently.参考范文2 It is reported that many teenagers are having too much homework to do. While teachers have good reasons why much homework should remain, experts on education hold different opinions on the necessity of homework. As a senior 3 student, I have to say that Im having so much homework that I dont have enough time for my own study plan.In my opinion, a certain amount of homework is good to us senior 3 students, but too much of it will surely add to much learning pressure. If we get much homework for each of the six subjects every day, we will be lost in homework without any reflection on our learning. My homework takes up most of my out-of-class time, and I spend the rest of the time learning on my own since I believe independent learning is a good supplement to teachers teaching. All in all, we need more out-of-class time of our own and we should use it properly and efficiently.、5
