第二部分阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题，满分50分）

Here are a few tips to help you, the workaholic, re-focus and get the best out of life.

EIGHT HOURS OF SLEEP! Make it a point to get at least eight hours of sleep and plenty of rest. Don‘t believe that you can always ‘catch some sleep or rest later.’ Your body cannot make up for lost sleep or rest time because it is not physiologically possible.

STRICTLY FAMILY ON WEEKENDS! Resolve to make Saturdays and Sundays strictly for family time. And stick to this! Mondays until Fridays you make an excuse not to relax and spend time with your family because it‘s work time, why not make a similar excuse for Saturdays and Sundays? ‘I can‘t work today because I‘m spending time with my family.’

GET SOME FOOD IN! Make sure you get food in your stomach. Workaholics are known to be food-skippers. If you can‘t afford to get off your desk or from doing paperwork, have food delivered to you. It‘s always a good idea if you have crackers on your drawer to ease the hunger pangs.

CONFINE WORK! Resolve to confine work in your office. Don ‘t bring work to your home! Keep those files in your office desk where they belong. Practice working only within your working hours.

If you have an eight-to-five working schedule, stick to it.

WORK UP THOSE MUSCLES! Exercise, exercise, exercise! Set aside at least an hour each day or every other day for exercise. You body needs to be conditioned, and working non-stop isn‘t going to give it the proper physical conditioning it needs. Since most workaholics tend to have their behinds stuck on their chairs, it‘s even more important that you get some exercise.

MAKE A PLAN! Plan your day. Work on only one or two things at a time. It‘s much easier to work on something and finish it first and then move on to the next rather than do a number of things all at the same time and never finish or accomplish anything at the end of the day. Make out a list of priorities. Write down things that need to be worked on immediately or are urgent, keeping the least ones at the bottom of your list. After you‘ve done this, be guided by this list. Turning this activity into a habit will also help you manage your time better, be more organized, and accomplish more.

The Hunan Satell ite TV(HNTV) show “Where are we going, Dad?” is a big hit. Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there. The program fully showed us a modern version of the “how to be a good father”. As the young parents today are too busy

to take care of their children, this new form of “Lost on the way” played by nanny Daddy and cute kids triggered（触发）a lot of people’s emotional resonance（共鸣）. Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.

The TV shows like “Children are hard to support!”, “Where are we going, Dad?”, “hot mom” and “cute kids” are becoming more and more popular. All of these show the new parents’confusion in children’s education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.

In real life, on the one hand the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand they continue to do so. The data collected by HNTV shows that nearly two-thirds of their

audience are female, among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34.We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children, while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom. The story of a child without the company of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers. In a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child. The participation of mother in the children’s education is also very low.

It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education, and where the parents will guide their children to go that “Where are we going，Dad?” shows us. If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot. The truth is that children will go where their parents go; and society will go where the children go.

46. In raising a child in modern society, parents should ________.

A. play computer games with their children

B. keep their children at home to avoid socializing

C. balance well between family and career

D. break down the barrier between children and teachers

47. Which of the following can be inferred in the passage?

A. Parents shouldn’t entirely leave the education of children to the old.

B. 36% of the audience of the program are female aged from

25-34.

C. The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play.

D. In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.

48. Which one is the best title of the passage?

A. Confusion Behind “Where are we going, dad?”

B. Modern Education is Important

C. Nanny Daddy and Cute Kids

D. New problems in Modern Children’s Education

49. What attitude towards modern family education does the author express in the second paragraph?

A. Proud.

B. Worried.

C. Optimistic.

D. Indifferent.

C

Birthdays often involve surprises. But this year‘s surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.

On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts

discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. “It‘s very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one,” said an expert from Britain‘s National Portrait Gallery.

The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image —commonly known as the “Flower portrait”—was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare‘s death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from

about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.

“We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare‘s plays,” Tarnya Cooper, the gallery‘s curator (馆长), told the Associated President.

The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company.

“There have always been questions about the painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. “Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture.”

Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation and the results will come out later this

month.________.

50. What makes the birthday of Shakespeare dramatic this year?

A. It was found that he painted a portrait in 1814 instead of in 1609.

B. The Flower portrait has been found to be a fake.

C. Three portraits of Shakespeare are being tested to identify a real one.
