14、al thinking (迂回思维), first described by Edward de Bone in 1967, is just a few years older than Edwards son. You might imagine that Caspar was raised to be an adventurous thinker, but the de Bone was so famous, Caspars parents worried that any time he would say something bright at school, his teachers
15、 might snap, Where do you get that idea from? We had to be careful and not overdo it. Edward admits. Now Caspar is at Oxford-which once looked unlikely because he is also slightly dyslexic (诵读困难). In fact, when he was applying to Oxford, none of his school teachers thought he had a chance. So then w
16、e did several thinking sessions, his father says, using my techniques and, when he went up for the exam, he did extremely well. Soon after, Edward de Bone decided to write his latest book, Teach Your Child How to Think, in which he transforms the thinking skills he developed for brain-storming busin
17、essmen into informal exercises for parents and children to share. Thinking is traditionally regarded as something executed in a logical sequence, and everybody knows that children arent very logical. So isnt it an uphill battle, trying to teach them to think? You know, Edward de Bone says, if you ex
18、amine peoples thinking, it is quite unusual to find faults of logic. But the faults of perception are huge! Often we think ineffectively because we take too limited a view. Teach Your Child How to Think offers lessons in perception improvement, of clearly seeing the implications of something you are
19、 saying and exploring the alternatives. 36. What is TRUE about Caspar? A. He first described lateral thinking. B. He is often scolded by his teacher. C. He is Edwards son. D. He is an adventurous thinker.37. Caspar succeeded in applying to Oxford because _. A. he used in the exam the techniques prov
20、ided by his father B. he read the book Teach Your Child How to think before the exam C. he was careful and often overworked D. all of his school teachers thought he had a chance38. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that Edward _. A. was prompted to study lateral thinking because his son was slight
21、ly dyslexic B. once taught businessmen how to think before he wrote for parents and children C. was likely to improve childrens logic with his book D. gave a description of lateral thinking several years after his son was born39. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements expresses
22、Edward de Bones view? A. We often think ineffectively because we take too limited a view. B. Thinking is traditionally regarded as something executed in a logical sequence. C.

23、nking refers to the following EXCEPT _. A. seeing the implications of what you are saying B. exploring the alternatives for what you are saying C. improving ones logic in thinkingD. improving ones perception in thinkingPassage Two For millions of years before die appearance of die electric light, sh
24、ift work, all-night cable TV and die Internet, earths creatures evolved on a planet with predictable and reassuring 24-hour rhythms. Our biological clocks are set for this daily cycle. Simply, our bodies want to sleep at night and be awake during the day. Most women and men need between eight and ei
25、ght and a half hours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives. (Contrary to popular belief, humans dont need less sleep as they age.) But on average, Americans sleep only about seven and a half hour per night, a marked drop from the nine hours they averaged in 1910. Whats worse,
26、nearly one third of all Americans get less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night. For most people, thats not nearly enough. Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80 different sleep disorders. Some sleeping disorders are genetic.
27、But many problems are caused by staying up late and by traveling frequently between time zone or by working nights. Dr. James F. Jones at National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver says that sleep disorders are often diagnosed as other discomforts. About one third of the patients referred
28、 to him with possible chronic fatigue syndrome actually have treatable sleep disorders. “Before we do anything else, we look at their sleep,” Jones says. Sleep experts say that most people would benefit from a good look at their sleep patterns. My motto (座右铭) is Sleep defensively, says Mary Carskado
29、n of Brown University. She says people need to carve out sufficient time to sleep, even if it means giving up other things. Sleep routines - l/ire going to bed and getting up at the same time every day - are important. Pre-bedtime activities also make a difference. As with Eisner, who used to suffer
30、 from sleeplessness, a few life style changesavoiding stimulants and late meals, exercising hours before bedtime, relaxing with a hot bathyield better sleep.41. What is TRUE of human sleep? A. On average, people in the U. S. today sleep less per night than they used to. B. For most people, less than
31、 six hoers of sleep on a typical work night is enough, C. Most people need less sleep when they grow older. D. Most people need seven and a half hems of sleep every night42. For our bodies to function properly, we should _. A. adjust our activities to the new inventions B. be able to predict the rhy
32、thms of our biological clocks C. sleep for at least eight hours per night D. believe that we need less sleep as we age43. According to the author, many sleeping disorders are caused by _. A. improper sleep patterns B. chronic fatigue syndrome C. other diseases D. pre-bedtime exercises 44. Which of t
33、he following measures can help you sleep better? A. Having late meals. B. Traveling between time zones C. Staying up late. D. Taking a hot bath.45. Sleep defensively means that - A. people should sacrifice other things to getting enough sleep if necessaryB. people should give up going to bed and get
34、ting up at the same time every day. C. people should go to a doctor and have their problems diagnosed D. people should exercise immediately before going to bed every nightPassage ThreeThe media can impact current events. As a graduate student at Berkeley in the 1960s, I remember experiencing the eve
35、nts related to the Peoples Park that were occurring on campus. Same of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV. I found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions obtained from the news media. I could begin to see events of that time
36、 feed on news coverage. This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinctions between these realities.Electronic media are having a greater impact on the peoples lives every day. People gather more and more of their impressions from representations. Television and telephone communic
37、ations are linking people to a global village, or what one writer calls the electronic city. Consider the information that television brings into your home every day. Consider also the contact you have with others simply by using telephone. These media extend your consciousness and your contact. For
38、 example, the video coverage of the1989 San Francisco earthquake focused on live action such as the fires or the rescue efforts. This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster. Television coverage of the Iraqi War also developed an immediacy. CNN reported events as they happened. This coverag
39、e was distributed worldwide. Although most people were far away from these events, they developed some perception of these realities.In 1992, many people watched in horror as riots broke out on a sad Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, seemingly fed by video coverage from helicopters. This event was t
40、riggered by the verdict (裁定) in the Rodney King beating. We are now in an age where the public can have access to information that enables it to make its own judgments, and most people, who had seen the video of this beating, could not understand how the jury (陪审团) was able to acquit (宣布无罪) the poli
41、cemen involved. Media coverage of events as they occur also provides powerful feedback that influences events. This can have harmful results, as it seemed on that Wednesday night in Los Angeles. By Friday night the public got to see Rodney King on television pleading, Can we all get along? By Saturd
42、ay, television seemed to provide positive feedback as the Los Angeles riot turned out into a rally for peace. The television showed thousands of people marching with banners and cleaning tools. Because of that, many more people turned out to join the peaceful event they saw unfolding (展开) on televis
43、ion. The real healing, of course, will take much longer, but electronic media will continue to be a part of that process.46. The best title for the passage is _. A. The1989 San Francisco Earthquake and the i992 Los Angeles RiotsB. How Media Cover EventsC. The 1992 Los Angeles Riots D. The Impact of
