    For students going to London for the first time, which of the following provides the most reliable information? A. University accommodation offices. B. Loot and Renting C. Noticeboards. D. Family. 答案:A 考点:: 解析:推理判断题.根据第一部分“The advantage of using your university accommodation is that you can get support if you have a problem. .而其他的都没有涉及到问题的解决这部分.所以选择A. C. The term “multitasking originally referred to a computer’s ability to carry out several tasks at one time. For many people, multitasking has become a way of life and even a key to success. In fact, some excellent mental aerobic exercises involve engaging the brain in two or more challenging activities at a time. Although checking e-mail while talking on a phone and reading the newspaper may be second nature for some people, many times multitasking can make us less productive, rather than more. And studies show that too much multitasking can lead to increased stress, anxiety and memory loss. In order to multitask, the brain uses an area known as the prefrontal cortex . Brian scans of volunteers performing multiple tasks together show that as they shift from task to task, this front part of the brain actually takes a moment of rest between tasks. You may have experienced a prefrontal cortex “moment of rest yourself if you’ve ever dialed a phone number and suddenly forgotten who you dialed when the line is answered. What probably occurred is that between the dialing and the answering, your mind shifted to anther thought or task, and then took that “moment to come back. Research has also shown that for many volunteers, job efficiency declines while multitasking, as compared to when they perform only one task at a time. Multitasking is easiest when at least one of the tasks is habitual, or requires little thought. Most people don’t find it difficult to eat and read the newspaper at the same time. However, when two or more attention-requiring tasks are attempted at one time, people sometimes make mistakes. We often don’t remember things as well when we’re trying to manage several details at the same time. Without mental focus, we may not pay enough attention to new information coming in, so it never makes it into our memory stores. That is one of the main reasons we forget people’s names---even sometimes right after they have introduced themselves. Multitasking can also affect our relationships. If someone checks their e-mail while on the phone with a friend, they may come off as absent-minded or disinterested. It can also cause that person to miss or overlook key information being passed on to them. 本篇文章是一篇说明文. 【查看更多】

         Below is a housing guide for students going to London.
         University accommodation (住所) offices
         Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东).Others also
    provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations. The advantage of using
    your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have a problem. The
    disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students.
    Property papers: Loot and Renting
         Loot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for corenters. The offers are
    from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other corenters. They also have a website:
    www.loot.com.The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is
    that there is no quality control over the offers.
         Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies.
    Their website is at www.renting.co.uk.
         Accommodation agencies
         The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation
    agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number
    of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirement and can save you time in looking for the
    right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.
         Noticeboards
         Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be
    posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online
    noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an
    excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.
         Word of mouth  
         Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students
    to another by word of mouth .It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.
         Family
         Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider
    buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.
