A student and his teacher were walking through the forest. The student was disturbed(扰乱) by the fact that his mind was in constant unrest（不安）. He asked his teacher, “Why most people’s minds are restless, and only a few have a calm mind? What can one do to still the mind ?” The teacher looked at him, smiled and said, “I will tell you a story. An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again, and the elephant waved it away denovo”. This was repeated several times. Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can't you stay for a while in one place?" The fly answered, "I am attracted to whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses pull me constantly in all directions and I cannot resist them. What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still?" The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not rule my attention. Whatever I do, I get immersed(沉湎于) in it. Now that I am eating, I am completely immersed in eating. In this way I can enjoy my food and chew（咀嚼）it better. I rule and control my attention, and not the other way around." The student's eyes opened wide and smile rose on his face. "I understand! If my five senses are in control of my mind and attention, then my mind is in constant unrest. If I am in charge of my five senses and attention, then my mind becomes calm". "Yes, that's right", answered the teacher, "The mind is restless and goes wherever the attention is. Control your attention, and you control your mind". 1. How did the elephant drive the fly away? A. With its long tail. B. With its long ears. C. With its strong legs D. With its long trunk. 2.The reason why the elephant stayed calm and still was that _______. A. it didn’t have a sense of direction B. it was too heavy to move around like the fly C. it paid much attention to things around it D. it concentrated (集中) on what it was doing 3.The underlined word “denovo” in the second paragraph probably means _______. A. in total B. in common C. once again D. as usual 4. The main purpose of the passage is to tell the readers _______ A. the relationship between the mind and attention B. how to make use of the five senses C. people should stay calm and still D. only the elephant can control the mind and attention

A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months. The system, called driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%--40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue. Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response. Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy. In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver’s response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warms that the driver must stop as soon as possible. The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time, are successful, the markers will bring the product to market within about a year. 1. According to the text, Driver Alert ______. A. aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents B. has gone through testing at laboratories C. aims to prevent drivers from sleeping D. has been on sale for 12 months 2.How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert? A. By sounding a warning. B. By touching the wristband. C. By checking the driving time. D. By pressing the steering wheel. 3.We can learn from the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his response time is ________ A. About 400 milliseconds B. below 500 milliseconds C. over 500 milliseconds D. about 4 minutes 4. When the driver gets sleepy while driving, Driver Alert ______. A. moves more regularly B. stops working properly C. opens the window for the driver D. sounds more frequently and loudl

Big Ben takes its name from Sir Benjamin Hall in 1858, who was responsible for the making of the world-famous clock at that time. It only has a very big size, but is extreme accurate as well. Officials from Greenwich Observatory have the clock check twice a day. On BBC, you can hear a clock when it is striking because microphones are connected to the clock tower. Big Ben has hardly gone wrong up till now. Once, therefore, it failed to give the correct time. A painter who worked on the tower hung a pot of paints on one of the hands and slowed it down! Yours, Mary
