3 Computers李仕才【阅读理解插花】I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke(唤起)an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the English I grew up with.Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I feel embarrassed to s ay that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English”, for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the English I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as“broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的)language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show: her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts. 【文章大意】本文主要记叙了作者在不同时期对母亲所使用的语言的不同看法。

When it's five o'clock，people leave their office.The length of the workday，for many workers，is defined by time.They leave when the clock tells them they're done.These days，the time is everywhere：not just on clocks or watches，but on cellphones and computers.That may be a bad thing，particularly at work.New research shows that clock-based work schedules hinder morale(士气)and creativity.Clock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours.For example：a meeting from 9 a．m.to 10 a．m.，research from 10 a．m.to noon，etc.On the other hand，task-timers have a list of things they want to accomplish.They work down the list；each task starts when the previous task is completed.It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning.What，then，are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways？Does one make us more productive？Better at the tasks at hand？Happier? In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier，they had participants organize different activities—from project planning，holiday shopping，to yoga—by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under “clock time” vs.“task time”．They found clock-timers to be more efficient but less happy because they felt little control over their lives.Task-timers are happier and more creative，but less productive.They tend to enjoy the moment when something good is happening，and seize opportunities that come up.The researchers argue that task-based organizing tends to be undervalued and under-supported in business culture.Smart companies，they believe，will try to bake more task-based planning into their strategies.This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office，but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic of the economy：work organized by clock time.While most people will still probably need，and be，to someextent，clock-timers，task-based timing should be used when they are performing a job that requires more creativity.It'll make those tasks easier，and the task-doers will be happier.1．What is the way people often do their work according to the author?A．They give priority to the most urgent task on hand.B．They set a time limit for each specific task.C．They combine clock-based and task-based planning.D．They accomplish their tasks one by one.2．What did the researchers find in their experiments on clock-timers?A．They tend to be more productive.B．They seize opportunities as they come up.C．They always get their work done in time.D．They have more control over their lives.3．What is the researchers' opinion about today's business culture?A．It does not support the strategies adopted by smart companies.B．It attaches more importance to work efficiency than to workers' lives.C．It aims to bring employees' potential and creativity into full play.D．It does not lay enough emphasis on task-based practice.4．From the passage，we can conclude that ________.A．it is important to keep a balance between work and lifeB．task-based timing is preferred for doing creative workC．performing creative jobs tends to make workers happierD．a scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation【解题导语】本文是一篇对时钟型和任务型两种工作方式的研究报告。

Unit 3 Computers李仕才一、阅读理解Mahendra, a former senior officer at the State Bank of India, talks about his disabled and wounded dogs like a father about his children—with the same love, affection, and warmth. He's a well­known animal rights activist, the secretary at People for Animals (PFA). But nothing explains Mahendra better than his love for animals. It was this love that led him to establish India's first shelter home for dogs living with disabilities.It all started in 1998 when, while taking a midnight walk, Mahendra came across a very weak dog on the street, whose bones were seen under its skin. Mahendra decided to feed it and for the next couple of days it became the centre of his life, until the night when he found it dead. Since then, Mahendra started providing treatment to all wounded and sick dogs he came across. After some time, somebody told Mahendra about PFA, India's largest animal welfare organization, chaired by Mrs Maneka Gandhi. Mahendra contacted her and, impressed by the work he was doing, Mrs Gandhi asked him to start a PFA chapter in Ahmedabad.Thus, in 2014, he started the shelter. It took a long time for Mahendra to find land where the shelter could be set up. Finally, Ramesh Bhai Patel, a farmer from a village named Jundal, agreed to give his land for nothing. Along with a team of four doctors and many volunteers, the shelter now has twenty­five dogs that were unable to walk at all when they were brought in. Today, they're slowly healing.Dogs that have healed with proper treatment are sent back to where they came from if the environment there is safe. However, the shelter will be home to the blind dogs for all their lives, says Mahendra.The shelter runs on the money coming from Mahendra's own pocket. There have been some financial crunches now and then but Mahendra is determined that no matter what challenges come their way, they'll fight through.1.From Paragraph 1, what can we know about Mahendra?A.His affection for animals.B.His love for senior people.C.His care for disabled people.D.His devotion to protecting his children.2.Mahendra decided to do something for animals because of ________.A.the death of a homeless sick dogB.his meeting with a sick dog one nightC.the encouragement of Mrs GandhiD.his contact with the organization PFA3.In his effort to build the shelter, Mahendra ________.A.spent much money hiring a landB.received little support from othersC.got a free land from a farmerD.was financially supported by the government4.What does the underlined word “crunches” in the last paragraph mean?A.Aids.B.Markets.C.Services.D.Difficulties.参考答案：1.A; 2.A; 3.C; 4.D解析：1.[细节题。
