But while the exact origins of puppet theatre are unknown, it has been popular in many cultures and may have been the very first kind of theatre,” he explains. Roberts shows are highly original. “A puppet show can involve anything from clowning(傻逗) to storytelling,” he says. Equally diverse are the audiences he performs for. “Some are attracted by the puppets themselves, while others enjoy the dialogue.” Roberts believes that this form of entertainment can be appreciated by people of all ages and cultures.Roberts interest in puppets started when he received some beautiful glove puppets one Christmas. He started putting on shows with these for family and friends and then moved on to handmade Chinese string puppets. Learning mostly from books and personal experience, he explains, “I was already spending most of my free time carving puppets and putting on shows, so I hardly noticed the change from students to full-time professional puppeteer.”The puppets are designed specifically for each show, which is extremely time consuming. According to Roberts, “Sometimes what you expect and what you actually create in the end are two very different things. Ive made some of my best puppets accidentally.”When most people hear the word “puppetry”, they more than likely think of a way of keeping children entertained at birthday parties. Certainly the subject matter will be expected to be light-hearted rather than serious. However, Roberts wants to point out that puppets convey serious messages sometimes.” he says.24. What do we know about puppetry in the first paragraph?A. It is a most popular form of entertainment.B. It cannot give people pleasure any more.C. It was first brought to life by Peter Roberts.D. Its value as an art form is not fully recognized.25. In Roberts eyes, his puppet shows . A. usually attract people full of humorB. are most something for old aged audienceC. display something meaningful for different people D. involve hard work and great intelligence26. Roberts developed an interest in puppets because of .A. the puppet show books B. his university majorC. a Christmas gift D. some Chinese string puppets27. What does Roberts want people to think of puppet theatre? A. It is just a kind of entertainment for kids. B. It can be educational as well as entertaining. C. It is only a kind of serious art form. D. It should be kept light-hearted.CWhen its five oclock, people leave their office. The length of the workday, for many workers, is defined by time. They leave when the clocks tell them theyre done.These days, the time is everywhere: not just on clocks or watches, but on cellphones and puters. That may be a bad thing, particularly at work. New research shows that clock based work schedules hinder creativity. Clock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours. For example: a meeting from 9 a. m. to 10 a. m, research from 10 a. m to noon, etc. On the other hand, task-timers have a list of things they want to acplish. They work down the list, each task starts when the previous task is pleted. It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning. What, then, are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways? Does one make us more productive? Better at the tasks at hand? Happier? In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier, they had participants organize different activities from project planning, holiday shopping, to yoga by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under “ clock time” vs. “ task time”. They found clock timers to be more efficient(有效率的) but less happy because they felt little control over their lives. Task timers are happier and more creative, but less productive. They tend to enjoy the moment when something good is happening, and seize opportunities that e up.The researchers argue that task-based organizing tends to be undervalued and under-supported in the business culture. This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office, but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic of the economy: work organized by clock time. While most people will still probably need, and be, to some extent, clock-timers, task-based timing should be used when performing a job that requires more creativity. Itll make those tasks easier, and the task-doers will be happier.28. What does the author say a clock-based work? A. It makes workers very tired.B. It reminds workers to leave on time. C. It makes workers aware of the precious time. D. It may have a bad effect on the creativity. 29. What does the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Block. B. Consider. C. Increase. D. Value. 30. What did Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier find in their experiments about clock-timers?A. They seize opportunities as they e up.B. They always get their work done in time.C. They tend to be more productive.D. They can control their lives.31. What do the researchers suggest?A. Task-based timing is preferred for doing creative work.B. It is important to keep a balance between work and life.C. Performing creative jobs tends to make workers happier.D. A scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation.DOpen Letter to an Editor I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently one who works for you. In fact, hes one of your best reporters. He wants to leave. Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume （简历）and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues （问题）, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. Im sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment （分工）, and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility youve given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom. So why is he looking for a way out? He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights. The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is. He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what hes doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. Thats what you want for him, too, isnt it? So your reporter has set me thinking. Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists- everyone- is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we cant do it, theyll find someone who can. 32. What does the writer think of the reporter? A. Optimistic. B. Imaginative. C. Ambitious. D. Proud. 33. What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks? A. Finding the news value of his stories. B. Giving him financial support. C. Helping him to find issues. D. Improving his good ideas. 34. Who probably wrote the letter? A. An editor.B. An artist.C. A reporter. D. A reader. 35. The letter aims to remind editors that they should _. A. keep their best reporters at all costs B. give more freedom to their reporters C. be aware of their reporters professional development D. appreciate their reporters working styles and attitudes第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两 多余选项。 We all know that a hot, milky drink and a warm bath are supposed to relax you before bed, but many of us still cant slip into sleep.
