Reading for pleasure is an alien concept especially between your to-do list, your deadlines, and your complete lack of “your time”. 1. However, tons of super successful people find time in their schedules to read. After spending hours and hours trying different strategies, I’m excited to share the tricks that have helped me make reading for pleasure reality.

Combine it with an existing, enjoyable habit.

Writer James Clear introduced me to the concept of “habit stacking（叠放）” 2. According to Clear, “the quickest way to build a new habit into your life is to stack it on top of a current habit.”

Since I’ve always loved breakfast, I decided to “stack” the new habit of reading for 30 minutes on top of my existing one of going to cafes and eating fried eggs.

At the beginning of each month, my friend and I share our reading lists and make sure to help each other to finish them. After posting my first reading list with an image and “mentioning” a few authors, one of them started following my account and another asked me to share my thoughts on his book. 4.

Only allow yourself to buy a new book for every book you’ve finished.

Although I never read much until recently, I did have the bad habit of buying books—books that would only collect dust on my shelves. I’ll assume that I'm not the only one with this problem. 5. No matter how eager you are to purchase the new release that appeared in your local bookstore or on the homepage of your Amazon account, don’t—not unless you’ve recently finished a book from your reading list. It’s that simple.

A.Share your monthly reading goals with a friend.

B.Picking up a book and reading for fun feels impossible.

C.Be responsible to your friends and the Internet strangers

D.Thanks to this strategy, I got my bookish lifestyle started.

E.So I propose a solution that will help you both read more and save money.

F.Being addicted to social media sure keeps you from achieving your reading goal.

G.Posting your list online to build connections with writers you admire will always make a difference.

Just how much does the Constitution （宪法）protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant （(授权令) if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.

California has asked the justices to restore the practice that the police may search through the contents of suspects' smartphones at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state says, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies .

The justices would be careless if they followed California's advice. They should start by rejecting California's weak argument that exploring the contents of a smart phone is similar to say, going through a suspect's wallet. The court has ruled that police don't offend against the Fourth Amendment（修正案） when they go through the wallet, of an arrestee without a warrant. In fact, exploring one's smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone may contain an arrestee's reading history, financial history, medical history and comprehensive records of recent correspondence.

Americans should take steps to protect their own digital privacy and should avoid putting important information in smartphones. But keeping sensitive information on these devices is increasingly a requirement of normal life. Citizens still have a right to expect private documents to remain private and protected by the Constitution's prohibition on unreasonable searches.

In many cases, it would not be very difficult for authorities to obtain a warrant to search through phone contents. They could still trump （打出王牌）the Fourth Amendment protections when facing severe and dangerous circumstances, such as the threat of immediate harm, and they could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not deleted or altered while a warrant is on the way. The justices, though, may want to allow room for police to cite situations where they are entitled to more flexibility.

But the justices should not swallow California's argument whole. New technology sometimes demands fresh applications of the Constitution's protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a digital necessity of life in the 20th. At that time, the justices had to explain new rules for the new personal domain （领域）of cars. Similarly, the justices must sort out how the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution applies to digital information now.

1.The author's attitude toward California's argument is one of ________

A.disapproval. B.tolerance.

C.indifference. D.cautiousness.

2.The author believes that exploring one's phone content is comparable to

A.scanning one's correspondences. B.handing one's historical records.

C.getting into one's residence. D.going through one's wallet.

3.In paragraph 4 and 5, the author shows his concern that

A.citizens' privacy is not effectively protected.

B.principles are hard to be clearly expressed.

C.phones are used to store sensitive information.

D.the court is giving police less room for action.

4.Orin Kerr's comparison is quoted to indicate that

A.the Constitution should be implemented flexibly.

B.Principles of the Constitution should never be changed.

C.California's argument violates principles of the Constitution.

D.New technology requires reinterpretation of the Constitution

People who have got rhythm might have an advantage when it comes to language and reading skills. A new study shows the brains of people who can move to a musical beat react to speech on a more consistent basis than those who can't. Researchers also find that musical training can sharpen the brain's response to language.

The researchers say their discovery provides the first biological link between the ability to keep a beat and how the brain responds to speech, something that can have important value for reading skills. To gather materials for their research, the team got more than 100 teenagers who lived in Chicago, Illinois. The teens were given two tests. First, they were instructed to listen to and tap their fingers along to the beat. The researchers calculated how accurately their young volunteers were able to tap along to the musical timekeeper. Second, the teen subjects were linked to an EEG device, which measures electrical activity in the brain. The EEG device was focused on an area of the brain that not only processes sound, but is also connected to parts of the brain responsible for motor-movement. The researchers recorded the brainwaves as their teen subjects listened to the synthesized speech sound, which was repeated irregularly for half an hour. The researchers were able to find out how the nerve cells in that particular region of the brain responded every time the synthesized sound was played. a Across this population of adolescents, the more accurate they were at tapping along to the beat, the more consistent their brains' response to the letter unit was," said Nina Kraus.

While past studies have showed the links between reading skills and a person's ability to keep a beat, the researchers said their new findings show the hearing system is what provides a common basis for those links. “Rhythm is naturally a part of music and language." Nina said.

1.According to the first paragraph, what can get the brain's reaction to language more effectively?

A.Rhythm. B.Musical training.

C.Language. D.Reading skills.

2.The underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ________

A.areas of knowledge studied in a school, college, and so on

B.things that are being discussed in a conversation or a book

C.persons or things that are the main features of works of art

D.persons or animals that are studied in an experiment or a research

3.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.

A.reading skills may make language learners keep a beat

B.the hearing system may be useless while a person is learning to read

C.the hearing system may separate sound from meaning while a person is reading

D.the hearing system may be used while a person is reading or taking musical training

4.What can we conclude from this passage?

A.Experts are expanding their studies on rhythm.

B.Rhythm might help us improve our reading skills.

C.Moving to a musical beat is more popular nowadays.

D.Experts find the links between the hearing system and reading.

The sound that woke Damian Languell at 8:15 in the morning was so loud he assumed it came from inside his house in Wade, Maine. As he got up to investigate, he heard another sound, this one coming most definitely from outside. Looking out of his bedroom window, he noticed a tree enveloped in smoke about 500 yards away. A car wrapped around the tree's base, its engine on fire.

Grabbing buckets of water, he and his wife ran to the crash site. Up close, the accident looked worse. The car was split nearly in two, and the tree was where the driver's seat ought to have been, as if planted there. No one should have survived this crash, and yet there was 20- year-old Quintin Thompson, his terrified face pressed against the driver's side window, in visible pain.

Languell tried putting out the fire with his buckets of water but failed. When the flames got into the front seats, he knew he had to get the young man out. So Languell opened the car's back door and climbed in. Using a pocket knife he'd brought with him, he cut through Thompson's seat belt. Now that Thompson was free, Languell pulled him out, and dragged him to safety before the entire car was in flames.

It is empathy that drove Languell to help, just as he said, "My heart goes out to Thompson. When you are that close to that level of hurt, you feel it so directly." For his heroic action, Languell was added to the list of real-life heroes changing the world.

1.Where was the first sound actually from?

A.A house on fire. B.A car crash.

C.The bedroom window. D.The basement.

2.What do we know about Quintin Thompson?

A.He saved his car from fire. B.He was successfully rescued.

C.He remained calm all the time. D.He was capable of helping himself out.

3.Which of the following best explains "empathy” underlined in the last paragraph?

A.Honesty. B.Wisdom. C.Sympathy. D.Responsibility.

4.Which words can best describe Damian Languell?

A.Daring and generous. B.Caring and grateful.

C.Courageous and noble. D.Ambitious and reliable.

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow（乌鸦）perched（栖息）on their window.

The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.”

After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you, it’s a crow!”

After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What is this?”

At this time some expression of irritation（恼怒）was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father with a rebuff（生硬回绝）. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?”

This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”

A little while later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered（发皱的）diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:

“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel irritated but I rather felt affection for my innocent son,

Being alone doesn’t necessarily mean being lonely: even when you’re dining alone, you’re often in the company of your phone, which means you’re in touch with friends and family, with the tap of a screen.

A new survey of 2,000 Americans found that the average adult eats alone during 7-4 meals each week. However, many say it can be a good thing. In fact, the survey revealed that 68 percent of Americans look forward to eating a meal alone.

The top reason why Americans eat alone? “It’s more relaxing”, say 50 percent of people who have taken part in the survey. Busy schedules (44 percent) and saving money (38 percent) round out the top three answers.

The new study, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of The U. S. Highbush Blueberry Council, revealed that busy schedules are challenging for Americans in general, and that it impacts mealtime is no exception.

The average American says they rush through four meals a week due to lack of time, with two meals being eaten on their feet and/or on the go.

Technology may be changing how we understand our alone time, and dining beside your phone could be Just as good as eating with a friend.

At least half of respondents will take part in some “eat and scroll” for six meals every week, but, two in three (66 percent) say they don，t feel like they’re eating alone when they’re looking through their phone.

Keeping our relationships strong doesn’t always require being together physically (though the average person in the poll ate with another person six times a week —one shy of their “solo meals” record). According to the poll, three in four respondents (75 percent) feel that engaging with their friends and family on social media platforms helps them feel more connected.

“Today, ‘togetherness’ is more of a feeling than a physical state, and people get creative to stay connected,” said a spokesperson for The Highbush Blueberry Council. “The joy of being together - however you manage it - never changes.”

As scientific meetings are canceled worldwide, researchers are rethinking how they network a move that should have done earlier. “At some point, we need to be having conversations about ‘What is the point of a conference now? says Sarah Horst, a planetary scientist.

Meeting spaces that are inaccessible to some disabled scientists, health considerations, a lack of access to childcare and travel restrictions can all encl up alienating potential attendees from physical conferences. There’s a large appetite” for alternative conference set-ups, says Divya Persaud, a planetary scientist. She and Eleanor Armstrong, a UCL sociologist of space science, have a grant from their university to hold an experimental virtual conference, called Space Science in Context, in May. The conference aims to improve accessibility. Participants will watch recorded talks ahead of time and then join in online conversations on the day of the conference. Persaud says that the response to plans for the meeting, which launched its save-the-date website last week, has been overwhelmingly positive. But she also points out that many of the adjustments that conferences are making, such as introducing virtual participation, are accommodations for which disabled scientists have been demanding loudly for years, and it’s a shame that it took a global health crisis to make them happen.

Still, as conference organizers are finding out, making these changes, especially on short notice, is no easy thing. The European Geophysical Union (EGU) general conference is scheduled for 3---8 May in Vienna, and session leaders are making other plans in case it is canceled. Those intending to participate in the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference this week in The Woodlands, Texas, found that they are trying to come up with alternative solutions when that conference was canceled on 4 March. Most of the responses were just ‘ Well , have the conference online’ “ says Horst.

1.Which of the following is NOT a potential attendee?

A.Scientists without visas. B.Scientists who are not feeling well.

C.Scientists with physical disabilities. D.Scientists who don't understand childcare.

2.What is the public’s attitude towards online conference?

A.Uncertain. B.Supportive. C.Disappointed. D.Dissatisfied.

3.Why does the second paragraph take Space Science in Context as an example?

A.To show that modern technology can realize conference online.

B.To prove that virtual conferences can make more people involved.

C.To praise the conference organizing ability of these two scientists.

D.To emphasize that the previous physical meetings were unsuccessful.

4.Where would this passage most probably appear?

A.In a guidebook for tourists. B.In a weekly story magazine.

C.In science channel of a website. D.On the front page of a newspaper.

For a long time hikers in Japan have considered a bear bell essential. Its tinny ring is said to scare off huge creatures. Nowadays, however, bear bells are increasingly useful on the way to the shops as well as in the wild. “The number of animals - whether bears, boars or monkeys --is expanding, and they are going into villages and towns”, says Hiroto Enari of Yamagata University.

Japan is home to many species of wild animals, including both black and brown bears. Estimates of their numbers are unstable, but since the 2000s the number of bear sightings has been rising. There were close to 1 3 , 000 in 2018 alone. The reappearance has its roots in the truth : the shrinking of Japan’s population is especially sharp in rural areas, where it is more serious by ongoing urbanization. The reducing quantity of people, in turn, has emboldened (使大胆)animals. Bears are less limited about entering villages in broad daylight if there are few folks around, Mr Enari says. Indeed, the biggest jumps in sightings have been where the population is falling fastest.

Hunting is declining in Japan, too. Government data suggest that the average hunter is now 68 years old. The country’s many forests and mountains provide an expansive habitat for wild animals. Indeed, the true wilderness is growing as foresters and farmers die off. Bears become particularly bold in years when acorns (橡实)are scarce, sneaking into orchards (果园)to steal fruits.

While some welcome their reappearance? others suffer from it. Every year bears injure scores of people, and kill a handful. Deer cause damage to farmland and speed up erosion by, for example, eating up grass. Simple solutions, such as changing the layout around villages or putting up fences, are rarely used. Instead, many bears are captured or killed. In 2013 the government decided to halve the number of certain types of deer, boars and monkeys by 2023. Japan is struggling to adapt to the changing power balance between animals and people”, says Mr Enari.

1.In Japan, what were the bear bells first used for?

A.Warning people of bears’ appearance.

B.Safeguarding the shops and villages.

C.Driving away various wild animals.

D.Scaring off bears for the hikers.

2.What can we learn from paragraph 2?

A.It is hard to see a brown bear in Japan.

B.The number of bear sightings has declined since 2000.

C.Japan’s reducing population is a main cause for bears’ reappearance.

D.Bears appear most frequently where the population increases fastest.

3.What is the other cause for wild animals’ reappearance?

A.The increase of forests. B.The decline of hunting.

C.The reduction of their habitats. D.The death of foresters and farmers.

4.What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.The problem wild animals bring about and related measures to handle it.

B.Japanese people’s attitude to the reappearance of wild animals.

C.Methods for killing wild animals and the government’s attitude to them.

D.The wild animals’ future Japanese experts expect.
