Why does everything else seem so interesting when you have to study? Let's find out how to stay focused．Follow each piece of advice that is given below．

Switch Off Your Cell phone

Nothing's worse for a teenager to stay without their cell phone even for a minute．However，if you can't find yourself focused for a long time，you know that it's the continual sound in your cell phone that isn't letting you learn．Stop sending text massages to your friends saying‘I can't study’or‘how much have you finished’．Remember，you don't have enough time to kill，do you?

Soothing Music(舒緩的音樂)Helps

Bizarre (離奇的)as it may sound，while things such as TVs，PCs，or MP3 players are not acceptable while studying，researchers claim(斷言)that listening to soothing music actually helps you stay focused．Try it．It might work for you．

A New Timetable Every Day

One of my personal techniques，tried and tested，is creating a new timetable every day. You don't really need to draw one．Instead，just stare at the clock，and divide your hours．Suppose．2 hours of continuous study require a 30-minute break after that．Relax and then go back to study for another two hours．Just be true to yourself, and try not to get distracted(注意力分散的)in those two hours．

Try Different Places to Study

The idea is，looking for a place that doesn't have much to focus upon is the best way of staying organized while studying．A lonely corner in your house is perfect in this case．Hey! Why don't you go to your school library，if things get worse? It has the perfect atmosphere，silence，and a librarian，every time! Now this will work for sure，trust me．

Section B

Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in  the passage you have just read.

(A)

       Matsushita, the world’s largest provider of consumer electronics, has decided to move in on Hollywood. Last weekend, Matsushita company leaders met with movies VIPs from MCA, Inc., the entertainment community that produced the movies as “Jaws” and “E.T. the Extra-terrestrial”. If the negotiations are successful, Matsushita will pay somewhere between $6 billion and $7.5 billion for MCA, by far the largest U.S. buying by a Japanese company.

       The deal is larger than last year’s $5 billion buying of Columbia Pictures by Matsushita’s competitor, Sony Corporation. The movement by the Japanese companies shows Tokyo’s growing interest in the entertainment world. It is surprising for both sides of the Pacific Ocean. Why does a disciplined, no-nonsense nation like Japan want to get into show business? The answer is quite simple: To make money. Japanese corporation leaders feel the global potential of the entertainment business and recognize that there is an increasing market for movies and television in the rapidly industrializing world.

Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.

In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend（配偶）, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal, Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen -- the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.

Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs （面包屑）you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal（泄露）what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.

The key question is: Does that matter?

For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no."

When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it A survey found an overwhelming pessimism（悲觀）about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me."

But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths （收費處）to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (優(yōu)惠券).

But privacy does matter -- at least sometimes. It’s like health: When you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.

1.What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?

A．Friends should open their hearts to each other.

    B．There should be a distance even between friends

   C．Friends should always be faithful to each other.

   D．There should be fewer disputes between friends.

2.Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret" ?

   A．Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.

   B．People leave traces around when using modern technology.

   C．There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs.

   D．Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.

3.What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protections?

    A．They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.

   B．They use various loyalty cards for business transactions.

    C．They rely more and more on electronic devices.

   D．They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.

4.According to the passage, privacy is like health in that ______.

   A．people will make every effort to keep it

   B．its importance is rarely understood

   C．it is something that can easily be lost

   D．people don’t cherish it until they lose it

科目：高中英語 來源：20102011年云南省高一下期末考試英語 題型：閱讀理解

It is natural that children are curious about the world around them. For example, they want to know how their hearts beat. They want to know why the ocean water tastes salty.

　　As children grow up, they become curious about different kinds of things. When they are babies, they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers. They become interested in the physical world around them: the plants, the animals, the sky. Later, they become interested in the things that people have made: wheels, bicycles, cars. And when they are adults, their curiosity continues. Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career (生涯、職業(yè)) in science.

　　Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the world．Those who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the skies. Other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences. A third group of scientists study the physical sciences, e. g. physics, chemistry.

　　These scientists have already discovered a lot about our world．For example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. They say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute. Your heart is a pump (泵) that pumps blood to all parts of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrition. When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them. The muscles need oxygen, too . So your brain sends a signal to the heart. The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen. Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles. It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute.

　　Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why does the ocean water taste salty” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask , “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year.” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.

　　We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.

1.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

　 A．People of different ages are interested in different things

　 B．People in different countries are interested in different things.

　 C．Men and women are curious about different things.

　 D．People are curious in the same way.

2.Scientists who work with the biological sciences study____.

    A．the earth , the oceans and the sky   B．plants and animals

    C．man-made things              D．ocean water

3.When you run, your muscles need ____.

A．more nutrition and oxygen    B．more signals    C．more salt   D．water

4.A rock cracks _____.

A．in wet regions                       B．in dry regions

C．a(chǎn)t very high or very low temperatures   D．when salty water falls in

5.People are always curious because ____.

A．they cannot explain many things     B．they know nothing about the world

C．they know little about the world                             D．they want to be scientists
