Ah, daydreaming. Is 1 anything more pleasant than sitting back and letting your thoughts
drift? Well, yes: 2 letting your thoughts drift, for one. Because according to a study published in
the journal Science, people are least happy when their minds wander. [M. Killings and Daniel Gilbert,
A Wandering Mind Is an Unhappy Mind]
Humans, to a degree unmatched by other 3 , are capable of thinking about things outside
the here and now— 4 that happened yesterday, or something they hope will happen tomorrow. It’s
that sort of itinerant intellect 5 allows us to plan and to learn. But at what cost?
Psychologists at Harvard used an iPhone app to find out. 6 random times throughout the day,
the program asked some 2,200 participants what they were doing, what they were thinking about and
7 they felt. It turns out that people spend nearly half their waking hours thinking about something
other than what they’re doing. And 8 whether and where their thoughts tend to 9 is a better
predictor of their feelings than what they’re actually up to. The scientists conclude that a wandering
mind is an unhappy mind.
10 try to focus on, and live in, the present. You might discover that happiness is just being
where it’s happening.
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (40%)
A. Read the following passages and answer the questions by choosing A, B, C, or D (20%)
1.
Bragging about your fancy new cell phone is a fleeting pleasure; after all, today's coolest models
tend to be next month's paperweights. By contrast, the half-life of a cordless phone for the home is 第3页（共7页） measured in years. So if you really want to be ahead of the tech curve, forget the cell-phone wars and
check out the new 5.8-GHz cordless phones.
Named after the frequency of the radio wave (measured in billions of cycles per second) that
carries the signal between the handset and the base station, 5.8-GHz phones promise more clarity
because there are fewer devices that operate on the same frequency and thus fewer to cause interference.
If you have a cordless phone that is a couple of years old or even a new one that costs less than $50,
chances are it is a 900-MHz model that is highly susceptible to static or buzzing from baby monitors,
wireless speaker systems and your neighbors' 900-MHz phones. The newer 2.4-GHz units, introduced
as an improvement over the 900-MHz models, do get less static, but wireless home networks and
microwave ovens can still trigger a snap-crackle-pop effect. Not so the 5.8 GHz. So far, only a few
companies sell the new models, and they don't come cheap. Uniden's TRU5865 costs $149, while the
Vtech 5831 is $179. I preferred the Uniden because it was static free both inside my apartment and up
to a block away. Its compact design hides the antenna inside the handset, and the glowing orange keys
