阅读理解

    Six years ago, Ann graduated(毕业)from college with a degree in Art. Now she is twenty-nine and works for a large computer company. She takes classes twice after work. She is learning to use the computer program Power Point. “I enjoy the college, but my job doesn't use the information I learned at college, ” Ann says. “The course(课程)is helping me to do my job better.”

    In the past, when students graduated from college and got a job, they usually stopped studying. Today lifelong learning is becoming more common. In many countries, some people return to school in their late twenties, or even older to get a higher degree. More people are taking training courses to improve their working skills after work. People can also get degrees or training through the Internet. Ann's sixty-year-old mother and father are taking courses in Art and Music. “We love these two subjects. Learning is so much fun,” they say happily. “It's never too old to learn.”

January 1st is the New Year's Day, the first day of the year. It is a legal(法定的)holiday, and all banks, stores and schools are closed. Many people invite their friends to come and visit them in the afternoon or evening.

The only legal holiday in February is Washington's Birthday. Although Washington was born on February 22nd, his birthday is now celebrated on the third Monday of February. Some states also celebrate Lincoln's birthday on February 12th. These two, the United States' most famous presidents, were both born in February. The last Monday in May is Memorial Day(纪念日). This holiday remembers many service members, men and women, who died for their country. Americans celebrate Memorial Day with services in cemeteries(公墓)and churches.

America's great national holiday, Independence Day, falls on the fourth of July. It celebrates the birth of the United States. It was on this day that the colonists(殖民者)announced their independence from England. They had to fight hard for the next seven years to win this independence.

The first Monday of September is Labor Day(劳工节). This holiday honors(向……表示敬意)the working people of the United States. There are sorts of celebrations and speeches on this day, too. People go to all kinds of places to enjoy the fine weather at the end of summer.

 阅读下面材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Have you noticed that time seems to pass more slowly when you're waiting in a long line? But when you're playing with your friends, hours seem like minutes. Of course, time is always passing at the same speed--but why does it sometimes feel different?

A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience (神经科学杂志)can tell us the answer. Lead author Masamichi Hayashi and his research team in the US found that it has to do with neurons(神经元)in our brains that are sensitive(敏感的)to time.

The researchers measured (测量)the brain activity of 18 adults who were asked to look at a picture on a screen for a certain period of time. They were then asked to guess how long they had been looking at the picture. They were likely to guess incorrectly when they were asked to stare at the picture for very long or very short periods of time. 

After looking at their brain activity, the researchers found neurons need a certain amount of time to pass signals. When they receive repetitive stimulation(重复的刺激) (such as staring at a screen), these neurons finally get tired and don't work well. It doesn't matter whether this amount of time is long or short, as long as the stimulation is repetitive. However, other neurons still work normally, causing a different experience of time.

When you stand in line or do some other repetitive tasks, such as math homework, your time-sensitive neurons get tired and cause you to feel like time is going slowly. But when you're doing something more high-speed, such as playing soccer, you experience in the opposite way. Either way, you can't always trust your brain when it comes to your experience of time.

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

①Do you compare yourself to other people? Perhaps your best friend receives something you really want for Christmas, or you're not allowed to go to a concert but your brother or sister is. Even though comparisons are common and can sometimes be helpful, concentrating on your own progress is important for your happiness.

②Why does concentrating on me matter? "We often compare ourselves to others who are doing better or not as well as ourselves," says Dr. Abbott, a psychologist (心理专家). "But I suggest comparing achievements to your past self (where you started) and your future self (where you'd like to get to)." This can make you take pride in what you've achieved and excited about what you might do. Psychologist Jack agrees and says that concentrating on your own purposes is more worthwhile than always trying to come out on top.

③Do comparisons make you happy? Comparing yourself to those around you is natural and we often do it without realizing it. It can help us to find our achievements and to form friendships with new people who have similar interests. However, it's important to remember that nobody is perfect in real life. It's also important to take note of how the comparison is making you feel.

④"If you begin to feel quite low, focus on your own strengths and what you are good at," says Abbott. In other words, you can ask yourself questions like "____", "What do I feel good about?" and "What improvements can I notice?", which can help you trust yourself.

⑤Maybe sometimes you are wondering "What if all my friends are better than me?". Dr. Antrobus says that jealousy (妒忌) is an ordinary feeling but focusing on improving your own performance can help you feel just as successful. He also mentions bat learning to celebrate your friends' success can not only help to cheer your friends up but also help you feel good. "It will encourage you to build each other up."
