Celebrated in the city of Munich, Germany, the Oktoberfest, as it is popularly called, is a 3-week festival that takes place in the months of September and October. Also called the largest beer festival in the world, the Oktoberfest gathers about 6 million visitors worldwide every year.

Nowadays more and more people are trapped in too busy work to relax themselves. We have no time to tell a bed-time story to our children, or enjoy a nice dinner with our family, or take a break to think about how we live the precious life, or even meet friends. All we notice is that the distinctions that used to guide and steady us ------ between Sunday and Monday, public and private, here and there ------ are gone. We have more ways to communicate, but less and less to say. Partly because we’re so busy communicating.
Maybe that’s why more and more people I know, even if they have no religious commitment, seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi. Some friends of mine try to go on long walks every Sunday, or to “forget” their cellphones at home. A series of tests in recent years has shown that after spending time in quiet rural settings, subjects “exhibit greater attentiveness, stronger memory and generally improved cognition. Their brains become both calmer and sharper.” More than that, empathy, as well as deep thought, depends on neural processes that are “inherently slow. ” The very ones our high-speed lives have little time for.
In my own case, I turn to eccentric and often extreme measures to try to keep my sanity and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all. I’ve not yet used a cellphone and I’ve never Tweeted or entered Facebook. I try not to go online till my day’s writing is finished, and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan.
None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism (苦行主義): it’s just pure selfishness. Nothing makes me feel better-----calmer, clearer and happier----than being in one place, absorbed in a book, a conversation, a piece of music. It’s actually something deeper than mere happiness: it’s joy, which the monk David Steindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens.” That is the highest of the highest we have been longing for----The Joy of Quiet.
【小題1】The writer sometimes doesn’t do anything because ________.

A．he is out of work .
B．whatever he does make no sense
C．he is worried about his writing.
D．he can enjoy himself in his leisure time.
【小題2】When the writer uses the word “forget” , his real meaning is _______.
A．Somebody really forgets his cellphone at home.
B．Somebody thinks cellphone is not a suitable means of communication.
C．Somebody hates modern techniques such as the cellphone.
D．Somebody leaves his cellphone at home on purpose.
【小題3】Which of the following is right?
A．It is better to go back to the ancient times since we are so busy now.
B．The writer is unwilling to help others since he is selfish.
C．Slowing down to find time and space to think and enjoy oneself is urgent.
D．We have more to say because we have more ways to communicate.
【小題4】What does the underlined word mean?
A．differenceB．samenessC．simplicityD．complication
【小題5】What is the main idea of the article?
A．The importance of spending time in quiet.
B．We can do some sports such as yoga to relax.
C．Principle or asceticism is important in one’s life.
D．The more we communicate, the more we will be closer.

科目：高中英語 來源：2013-2014學(xué)年四川省成都市畢業(yè)班第一次診斷性檢測英語試卷（解析版） 題型：其他題

閱讀下面短文并回答問題，然后將答案寫到答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上（請注意每題詞數(shù)要求）。

     In the spring of 2013, Carly Zalenski's eyes were filled with tears as the dusty bus ran down a dirt road in southern Vietnam. The 14-year-old girl and her family had traveled by plane from Canton, Ohio, to Ho Chi Minh City and then by bus deep into the Mekong Delta. Now, as they approached the village, hundreds of cheering schoolchildren lined the entrance to the Hoa Lac School, a two-story concrete building that Carly had raised money for.

     Carly started helping others when she was eight, handing out Thanksgiving baskets at church to families in need. It was a snowy day, and she saw that one girl was wearing a pair of broken shoes and others didn't have warm coats. The next November, she went door-to-door asking for used coats, hats, gloves, and scarves, and then handed them out with the baskets.

     But Carly wanted to do more - she wanted to "change lives," she says. She remembered that her grandmother's Rotary club had, years earlier, raised money to build a school in Vietnam. That was it, she decided. She'd build a school, too.

     She put together a PowerPoint presentation on the people and culture of Vietnam. At 12, hardly able to see over the platform, she gave her first fund-raising speech. She spoke with enthusiasm" The kids in rural Vietnam don't have good schools, " she told a room of 200 Rotarians. "That's not fair. I want to raise money and improve the school condition to make their lives better. "

     In two years, Carly set off with her family across Ohio, visiting three or four Rotary clubs a week. "We traveled like crazy people to all these meetings," recalled her mother, Kris.

     Finally, Carly raised $ 50,000, which was matched by the Vietnam Children's Fund. At the donation ceremony in Hoa Lac, the school principal was impressed with the ninth grader. "How wonderful," he said through a translator, "that a girl wanted to do something for kids of her age so far away. "

1.In which year was Carly born? (Within 2 words)

________________________________________________

2.Why did Carly once collect used clothes from door to door? (Within 12 words)

3.What made Carly determine to build a school in Vietnam? (Within 10 words)
