We'll save bits of time here and there, add it up, and we will finally get to everything we want to do. But after studying how successful people spend their time and looking at their schedules (時刻表), I think this idea has it completely backward. We don't build the lives we want by saving time. We build the lives we want, and then time saves itself.

I recently did a time diary project looking at 1,001 days in the lives of unusually busy women. They had demanding (要求高的，費力的) jobs, sometimes their own businesses, kids to care for, maybe parents to care for.

One of the women whose time log I studied goes out on a Wednesday night. She comes home to find that her water heater has broken, and there is now water all over her rooms. If you've ever had anything like this happen to you, you know how frightening it is. So she's dealing with the mess that night, and the next day she's got plumbers (水管工) coming in. The day after that, a cleaning worker comes to repair the floor. It takes seven hours of her week. Seven hours. That's like finding an extra hour in the day.

But I'm sure if you had asked her at the start of the week, "Could you find seven hours to go to the gym?" I'm sure she would've said, "No! Can't you see how busy I am?" Yet when she had to find seven hours because there is water all over her rooms, she found seven hours. And what this shows us is that time is highly changeable. We cannot make more time, but time will reach for what we choose to put into it.

Small moments can have great power. You can use your bits of time for bits of joy. Maybe it's choosing to read something wonderful on the bus on the way to work. I know when I had a job that required two bus rides every morning, I used to go to the library on weekends to get books to read. It made the whole experience almost enjoyable.

It's about looking at the whole of one's time and seeing where important things can go. I truly believe this. There is time. Even if we are busy, we have time for what matters. And when we focus on what matters, we can build the lives we want in the time we've got.

1.What do we know about the women in the speaker's project?

A.They had a busy work schedule. B.They were single business women.

C.They followed their schedule strictly. D.They had to look after both their kids and parents.

2.What does the woman do when she finds her home a mess?

A.She is too worried to do anything. B.She deals with it in an orderly way.

C.She fixes the broken water heater by herself. D.She spends seven hours thinking of what to do next.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.It is important to set and achieve life goals. B.The key to success is to make full use of time.

C.Time saves itself when we focus on what matters. D.It's unwise to make your work schedule too busy.

Did you forget your password (密碼) or your ID? Well, you’ll never forget your face. Using your face as your ID is quick and convenient. You could take the subway or get on the plane with just your face alone. This is how facial recognition (人臉識別) works. It has also been used to catch criminals. The American pop singer Taylor Swift even used the technology to find out the person who did something bad to her at her concerts.

In China, facial recognition systems(系統(tǒng)) have been used in many areas. In Zhengzhou, people can now get on the subway by using facial recognition technology. They just need to connect their online payment systems to the subway’s smartphone app. Students at certain schools can pass through the school’s gates by scanning (掃描) their face.

However, there are no laws to control the use and collection of facial information now, according to Zhao Zhanling, a researcher at the China University of Political Science and Law. Many people are worried about the collection and use of the information by governments and companies. Why is it necessary to collect data about your face and what will the data (數(shù)據(jù)) be used for? These are some common questions about the facial recognition.

“I feel uncomfortable because I don’t know how the company is using my facial information or whether it will be leaked. If so, my secret information will become known to the public.” Feng Yi, a tourism company worker, said about Zhengzhou’s subway smartphone app. Leaks are a problem that worries people because companies have always failed to protect users’ data. When someone steals your personal information, you can change your bank card and password, but can you change your face when your facial information is stolen?

As facial recognition is used more and more in our daily lives - from schools and subways to street comers and smartphones - we must ask ourselves whether or not this new technology is worth the risk.

1.The example of Taylor Swift is to ________.

A.show the popularity of facial recognition among pop stars

B.introduce tire advantage of facial recognition further

C.describe people’s fears over facial recognition

2.According to Paragraph 2, facial recognition technology can’t be used to ________.

A.pay to take the subway

B.pass through the school’s gates

C.invent an online payment app

3.What does the underlined word “l(fā)eaked” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.泄露 B.收集 C.攔截

4.From the passage, we know that ________.

A.some laws have been made to control the use of facial information

B.it may be risky to use the new technology according to the writer

C.many people think it necessary to collect data about their face

5.Which is the best title of the passage?

A.Your Face Is Your Best ID

B.Wide Use of Facial Recognition Technology

C.Facial Recognition - Progress and Challenge

During my travels through the mountains of Greece I was only ever scared once, it was dusk and as I walked. I came across six large wolves that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur.

As I went near, the wolves left the blood-covered snow that surrounded the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 meters from me and stared. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling me. The animals looked both beautiful and frightening, but I knew I couldn't show them my fear. As I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised his head once more but this time let out a long, loud cry. The awful cry rang out across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost certain it was a sign to be death.

Every moment I expected to see the pack of wolves’ dash at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general moving among his soldiers. They cried out loud again. But when they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my direction or make me run they feared to come after me, so they let me pass and returned to the dead animal.

If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am certain the whole pack would have attacked me in a moment. But my show of false courage intimidated them and kept them back.

1.Why didn't the wolves attack the man？

A.They were no longer hungry when they saw him.

B.The man was already known to the wolves.

C.They were too far away to catch the man.

D.The man showed no fear as he passed by.

2.The underlined word 'intimidated' means .

A.encouraged B.scared C.doubted D.hurt

3.What is the author's purpose in writing this story？

A.To show that mountains can be dangerous places.

B.To discuss the habits of mountain wolves.

C.To stress the need for courage when in danger.

D.To make people aware of the danger of wolves.

4.Which of these is right according to the passage？

A.The wolves were friendly to the writer.

B.The writer knew wolves were dangerous in childhood.

C.The lead wolf asked the other wolves to stand in line.

D.The writer wasn't afraid of the wolves at all.

5.The best title of the passage could be .
