    At thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊断）with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

    In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”

    She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”

    I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

    In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

    Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?

    I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “ See what you can do when you keep trying?”

    1.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because .

    A．He was new to the class

    B．He was tired of literature

    C．He had an attention disorder

    D．He wanted to take the task home

    2.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?

    A．He made a great invention.

    B．He had good sight.

    C．He gave up reading.

    D．He learned a lot from school.

    3.What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?

    A．Angry. B．Impatient.

    C．Sympathetic. D．Encouraging.

    4.What is the main idea of the passage?

    A．The disabled should be treated with respect.

    B．A teacher can open up a new world to students.

    C．Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.

    D．One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.

    “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”---Lao Tzu

    If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don’t have to be like everyone else. You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less, and disconnected sometimes. Your environment doesn’t control your life---you do. I’m not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower. 1.

    1. Do less.

    Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. 2. Pick 2-3 important things--- or even just one important thing--- and work on those first. Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.

    2. 3.

    Meeting are usually a “big waste of time”. And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.

    3. Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.

    When you do the important things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that don’t get done. And you need to ask yourself: 4. What would happen if I stopped doing them?

    4. Practice mindfulness.

    5. , rather than things so much about future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully. When you are walking, appreciate your surroundings, no matter where you are.

    Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing , so can you.

    A. Have fewer meetings

    B. How necessary are these things?

    C. Simply learn to live in the present

    D. Focus not on quantity but on quality

    E. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.

    F. The world likely won’t end if you don’t pass one of the examinations.

    G. But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life.

    If you like texting and are trying to lose weight, a new study found that using texting to track diet and exercise habits may help you lose weight.

    Previous research has shown that keeping food and exercise diaries improves the likelihood of success when you are trying to lose weight. Using a computer or a pen and paper to record information, however, can be a burden and cause some people to give up.

    Duke University researchers said using text messages to track eating and exercise habits can save time, and increase the chances that people will stick with their weight-loss rules.

    The study included 26 obese women with an average age of 38. The women used daily texting as part of their weight-loss program. The text messages focused on tracking personalized goals, such as avoiding sugary drinks or walking 10,000 steps a day. Messages also provided brief feedback (回复) and tips.

    Every morning, the women received a text from an automated system that said, “Please text yesterday’s personal information of steps you walked and how many sugary drinks you had.” Based on the women's responses to the text message, the system sent another text with personalized feedback and tips.

    After six months, the women who used daily texting lost an average of nearly 3 pounds, while another group of women who used traditional methods to keep food and exercise diaries gained an average of 2.5 pounds, according to the study, which was published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.

    “Text messaging has become popular and may be an effective method to simplify tracking of diet and exercise behavior,” Dori Steinberg, who was responsible for this research, said.

    Steinberg said, "Text messaging offers several advantages compared to other self-monitoring methods. Unlike web-based diet and exercise diaries, data in a text message can be entered quickly on nearly all cellphone platforms so it is very convenient to receive feedback. Besides, because of the limited number of words used in text messages, it saves time.”

    1.According to the study, traditional methods _________.

    A. are easier for people to lose weight

    B. may cause people to give up losing weight

    C. provide brief feedback and tips

    D. are easy to track diet and exercise behavior

    2.Which is NOT true about text messaging according to Steinberg?

    A. It saves time.

    B. It saves money.

    C. It can be entered quickly.

    D. It is easy to receive feedback.

    3.What’s the best title for the text?

    A. Texting helps keep healthy

    B. Texting saves time and money

    C. Texting can help you lose weight

    D. Texting provides brief feedback and tips

    4.What’s Dori Steinberg’s attitude towards text messaging?

    A. Unknown. B. Negative.

    C. Positive. D. Unconcerned.
