But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, lets take a look at three types of waits.The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most unpleasant of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink (洗碗池) as an example. There is completely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until its full. During these waits, the brain runs away from the body until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and absent-minded.A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer (炖) three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes. I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures (步骤) strictly. After all, Forced Waiting needs patience. Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual because it is mostly voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.Turning ones life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists (乐观派) among us. It seems to be silly to follow the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesnt come to depend on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time youre standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that youll have to eat until a large bag of money falls out of the sky, dont be desperate. Youre probably just as busy as the next guy.26 . What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?AThe Watched-Pot Wait involves body and brain.BThe Forced Wait makes people helpless.CThe Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.DThe Forced Wait requires some self-control.27 . What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?AIt is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.BIt brings more results than the Forced Wait.CIt doesnt always bring the result we want.DIt doesnt give people faith and hope.28 . What does the writer advise us to do the next time we are waiting?ADont lose heart.BDont depend on others.CDo something else.DTake it seriously.29 . The writer supports his opinion by _.Adescribing detailed processes of waitsBanalyzing different kinds of waitsCexploring several causes of waitsDshowing disappointing results of waitsDear Mike,How is it going?

Its owner was an old man. He had been away for several years to visit his friends. It was a large lovely garden with soft green grass and beautiful flowers. While the old man was away, some children came to play in the garden every afternoon. The birds in the garden sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games to listen to them. For them, the time they spent there was the happiest they had ever had.One day the old man came back. When he saw the children playing in his garden, he was very angry. What are you doing here? he shouted. Nobody except myself is allowed to play in my garden. The children were terrified and ran away. Then spring came, but it was still winter in the old mans garden. There were blossoms (花) and birds all over the village, except in the garden. The birds didnt like singing in his garden, since there were no children. Why is spring arriving so late this year? the old man thought. How pretty it would be if it were spring now! One morning, the old man was woken up by some sounds. He heard birds singing and children laughing. When he opened the window, he saw the birds sitting in the trees and the children running about happily. Im sure spring has come.

Oxford Learning founder and CEO Dr. Nick Whitehead, said, “Homework might be an unavoidable(不可避免的) part in school, but it doesnt have to be the boring part. With the right skills in place, students can turn homework from headache-including to trouble-free.” These steps will make an obvious difference.Use your notebooksThe brain is able to finish great works, but it is not perfect. Students should never rely on (依赖) it to remember all school details. When a teacher assigns homework, students should write the details in their notebooks. According to Whitehead, to make them effective, students need to remember to take the notebooks out of their school bags at night, open them up, and read over the nights listRemove distractions (使注意力分散的事物)Computers on, music on, text messages receiving Whitehead says that if students arent doing research, they should turn off all the above electronics and focus on the task at hand for a set period of time. Theyll find that it is easier to concentrate (全神贯注) and that homework is finished in a shorter time.Think activelyGetting homework done is the name of the game, but what happens if students are struggling with a question, or cant work out an answer? When facing difficulties, it is wise for the student to take a small break then return to look at the problem again.Get organizedHomework is often the most disorganized part. Whitehead says, “Students should keep all the homework-related things in a bin so they dont waste time searching for pens or rulers.” He also suggests picking the same place to do homework every night, and (when possible)completing homework at the same time each day.How to make homework 55 .
