【题目】Say Goodbye to Post-holiday Syndrome

You’ve spent countless days waking up late, enjoying watching your favorite TV shows and lying on the couch.1 It’s time to go back to work. Here are some tips to make the shift from vacation to work of smoother.

Tidy up your work- space first.

Chances are you’ll be greeted by piles of unopened mail, files, and other office items sitting on your desk.2The longer you wait, the more likely these items will be sitting around your desk later in the week.

3

You may feel the urge to work on three different things at the same time in order to catch up on work. However, this is not the most efficient approach. Instead, you should make a point to focus your mind and to only work on one item or task at a time.

Remove unnecessary distractions.(注意力分散)

It’s incredibly important to get serious about cutting out obvious distractions. This way, you can catch up on things efficiently without being bothered every five minutes.4

Make plans to enjoy yourself the first week back.

5Scheduling a lunch date or two with friends can make the week back seem a bit less painful. Treat yourself to your favorite drink at the local cafe during your coffee break. It may take several days for you to finally get readjusted and that’s perfectly fine. Stay calm, focused and relaxed. You’ll be back to your old routine at work before you know it.

A.Do one thing at a time.

B.Make a list of tasks based on their importance.

C.Then you suddenly come to an uncomfortable realization.

D.So it’s a good idea to deal with these items as soon as you can.

E.You’re back at work, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yourself.

F.Rather than ignoring these items, take a few minutes to process them.

G.Switch off your cell phone, and close out of any social media accounts.

【题目】Gemini Man

Gemini Man is a big-budget Hollywood sci-fi-action movie based on an original concept, rather than on a superhero comic or an old TV series, even though this particular original concept is more 20 years old. In it a government assassin (杀手)is being hunted down by his own clone The original script was sold by Darren Lemke to a studio in 1997, and since then almost every male A-listener has been attached as a potential star. Now, at long last, Ang Lee has directed Gemini Man, and Will Smith plays both the veteran assassin and his much younger doppelganger (分身).

Jojo Rabbit

During World War Two, a 10-year-old German boy (Roman Griffin David) is desperate to be a dutiful Nazi, only to discover that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding, a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their house. It may not sound like the stuff of a big-hearted comedy but Taika Waititi can make anything warm and funny. As well as writing and directing Jojo Rabbit, Waititi co-stars as the boy’s imaginary friend,a nitwitted Adolf Hitler.

Doctor Sleep

Mike Flanag’s new film is adapted from Stephen King, novel, Doctor Sleep, which was a sequel (续集) to The Shining. You can expect to see blood flowing out of lifts in a rapid stream, ghostly twin girls and headache-including carpet patterns. Ewan McGregor stars as Danny Torrance, the boy with psychic powers m 1980 film. Now, he is a middle-aged hospital counsellor.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

Here’s another chance to see Angelina Jolie. In 2014 she starred in Maleficent, Disney's live-action remake of the Sleeping Beauty cartoon from 1959. The twist was that the eponymous wicked fairy wasn’t so wicked, after all, and that the real villain was the father of Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning).

【题目】 Jane Austen is loved mainly as a charming guide to fashionable life in the Regency period (英国摄政时期). She is admired for describing a world of elegant houses, dances, servants and fashionable young men driving barouches (四轮四座大马车). But her own vision of her task was completely different. She was an ambitious and strict moralist. She was highly conscious of human failings and she had a deep desire to make people nicer: less selfish, more reasonable and more sensitive to the needs of others.

In Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bonnet start off heartily disliking each other and then, gradually realize they are in love. They make one of the great romantic couples. He is handsome, rich and well connected; she is pretty, smart and lively. But why actually are they right for one another?

Jane Austen is very clear. It’s for a reason we tend not to think of very much today: It is because each can educate and improve the other. When Mr. Darcy arrives in the neighborhood, he feels “superior” to everyone else, because he has more money and higher status. At a key moment, Elizabeth condemns his arrogance (自大) and pride to his face. It sounds offensive in the extreme, but later he admits that this was just what he needed.

Mostly, we tend to think of love as liking someone for who they already are, and of total acceptance. But the person who is right for us, Austen is saying, is not simply someone who makes us feel relaxed or comfortable; they got to be able to help us overcome our failings and become more mature, more honest and kinder—and we need to do something similar for them.

1What do we know about Jane Austen from paragraph 1?

A.She lived a fashionable life.B.She wrote about the life of the rich.

C.She knew exactly human virtues.D.She was nicer to less selfish people.

2What can we learn about Mr. Darcy from the text?

A.He dislikes Elizabeth from the beginning to the end.

B.He is handsome, rich and rather modest.

C.He is kind to everyone in the neighborhood.

D.He needs Elizabeth to point out his shortcomings.

3Which person is right for you according to Jane Austen?

A.A person that you like for who he or she is.

B.A person with whom you feel really relaxed.

C.A person making you become a better man or woman.

D.A person who does something similar to you.

4What message does the book Pride and Prejudice convey?

A.Improve yourself with your lover’s help.

B.Accept the people you love totally.

C.Earn much money to make people love you.

D.Find your true love with pride and prejudice.

【题目】Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

The Minoans: A Forgotten People

The first advanced culture in ancient Greece was the Minoan culture. For thousands of years, knowledge of these people survived only in Greek myths. In the late 19 h century, archaeologists began to unearth ruins. This inspired Arthur Evans to begin digging on the island of Crete near mainland Greece. On a dig in Kbossos, Evans found an ancient palace Experts think that it was the palace of King Minos, acentral figure in many Greek myths.

1With his team, he uncovered a vast structure, varied works of art, and many hieroglyphic records. These finds, together with later finds, comprise all that experts know about Minoan culture.

From the evidence experts gathered, it is clear that the Minoans were ahead of their time. The palace at Knossos was five floors high with hundreds of rooms. Buildings throughout the ancient city had plumbing and flush toilets. Stone pavement lined the surfaces of the roads. In addition, the Minoans possessed a highly developed naval fleet for long-distance trade. 2These records confirm the central role of commerce in culture.

Their analysis of the evidence also offers insight into some aspects of Minoan society.3Ruins and artwork suggest that people of all classes enjoyed a high degree of social and gender equality. Religious icons(图符)show that Minoans worshiped bulls, the natural world, and many female gods.

An unusual feature of Minoans culture was the pursuit of leisure interests. Sport and visual arts were central to Minoan life. Boxing and bull jumping, a sport in which players jumped over live bulls, were popular. Although bull jumping may have served some ritual purpose, experts believe that it was done mostly for fun. Similarly, although some works of art showed political and religious themes, other works served only as pleasant decor(装饰品).4

The Minoans met their demise after a series of natural disasters. Experts believe that group from the Greek mainland capitalized on these events and looked over the island.

A. Some experts think that the wealth gained from trade allowed for such leisure in sports and the arts

B. Experts believe that a king and mostly a female priest ruled the government and controlled trade.

C In ancient Greek myths, Minoan society was quite prosperous and highly civilized

D. The palace that Evans unearthed a century ago was the first proof of Minoan culture.

E. Minoan culture didn't exist before Arthur Evans discovered the palace under the earth

F. Although not yet decoded, written script on clay tablets appears to list trade accounts.
