hundred dollars new. this coat was even better. john tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. the fit was perfect. john wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a big grin. “did the kids like your coat?” i asked. “they loved it.” he said. over the next few weeks, john changed. he was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and on the whole much happier. “good dinner, mom.” he would say every evening. without a word of objection he would carry in wood for the stove. one day when i suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, john, who always put things off, said: “youre right. i guess i will.” when i mentioned this incident to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.john and i both know we

their own. and making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to david yocum and his partner, brain bell. their building is a former automobile electricalparts firm in atlanta. from the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting (生锈的) walls.in 2000, yocum and bell found this building in the citys west end. built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned (放弃) years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. but the price was right, so yocum bought it. he spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition (拆除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building, the demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was therethe walls, the rust, the light,” yocum said. “every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. its like an art installation (装置) in therea slow-motion show.”since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. the back of the building is a working area and a living room for yocum and his wife. a sort of buffer (缓冲) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical (机械的) room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.yocum and bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from the decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. it has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.29. according to the passage, it is for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own. a. easyb. unnecessary c. unrealisticd. common30. working on the old building, yocum and bell .a. pulled rubbish out through the roofb. removed the skylights from the bathroomc. presented a slowmotion show in an art galleryd. built a kitchen at the back part of the old building31. it can be inferred from the passage that yocum and bell .a. benefited a lot from pulling down the roofb. turned more old buildings into art galleriesc. got inspiration from decorating their old buildingd. paid more attention to the outside of the gallery32. the main idea of the passage is that . a. people can learn a lot from their failuresb. it is worthwhile to spend money on an old buildingc. people should not judge things by their appearanced. creative people can make the best of what they havedeven when youre extremely busy, you arent using your time with 100% efficiency. there are gaps in everyones schedule where they arent doing anything important. even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time where you arent working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.why arent you completely efficient? its because time isnt the limiting factor. if it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions (消遣). instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate (拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.the real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. energy levels limit your productivity because when youre tired, you can have enough time and still not get everything done. your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.you might not be able to add another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices. but even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling (取消) anything. the reason why its hard to “find time” isnt a lack of time. its because you dont have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.i first suspected time wasnt the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. i was extremely busy, but at that time i still exercised regularly. i had daily to-do lists with over twenty items, and i still found time to exercise. however, after a few weeks off, due to illness, i stopped exercising. i was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was incredibly light. despite this free time, i found it hard to find time to exercise. it seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. how can i explain this strange experience? i believe you have known it. 33. if someone cant work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is _.a. a schedule without gaps b. breaks and distractionsc. the limited time d. the limited energy34. the writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to _.a. prove what the real limiting factor isb. show us how busily he needs to workc. explain how important a healthy body isd. tell us what an strange experience he has35. what is the best title of the passage?a. do you really lack time? b. how can you work efficiently?c. what makes your energy limited? d. when should you do exercise?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（注意：此题答案涂在答题卡上。e=ab,f=ac,g=ad）choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. one important question that you might ask yourself is: “how do i get a good job?” 36 . there are people who can answer an unimportant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. 37 . he used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. his father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. one day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. without stopping to think, the lad（少年）offered to take his place. 38 . 39 . if the lad had gone home to consider about his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. it is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well. sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs (美差). when you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. 40 . and within a year this person had become general manger of the company.a. this story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.b. people find jobs in a number of ways.c. its almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers d. take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.e. but there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the companys faults.f. he spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.g. it is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.第三部分
