Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted (走神) by e-mail, the Internet and other things throughout the day? According to the survey made by a famous university in the USA, most people have the experience.
“People often lose their concentration when they are bored, of course, but also when they are engaged in challenging tasks,” says Peter Bregman, the head of the survey. “They sometimes have a feeling to escape from what’s difficult or boring, so they jump out,” he says. The part of the brain devoted to attention is connected to the brain’s emotional center. Any strong emotion —quarrels with colleagues, problems at home —can interrupt our attention. Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction.
Refocusing is hard for many people. Robert Epstein suggests the following, “Stop and listen to some soft music for a few minutes. Find a good friend or a teacher and say out your matter on your mind. Go for a short walk or take a deep breath, where you breathe in deeply, count to five slowly, hold it and breathe out very slowly. This can blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your focus.”
Take more control by structuring your time and becoming more aware of your behaviors.“Setting the phone alarm to go off every hour is my way of creating awareness,”Mr. Bregman says.“You have to inform yourself that you’ve lost focus in order to do something about it.” Starting the day with a to-do list is also important, such as when to eat, when to go to the gym or take a walk. But if it’s overly ambitious, you will put yourself in a state of anxiety, which makes it hard for the brain to concentrate. “Choosing three or four things as your priority (優(yōu)先) for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus,” he says.

A. They don’t want to be devoted to their work.

2.Which incident might not interrupt your attention?
A. You were scolded by your teacher.
B. You had words with your good friend.
C. You went to school at six as usual.
D. Your mother and father had a quarrel.
3.According to Robert Epstein, how can we refocus on what we should do?
A. Listen to rock music for some time.
B. Turn to your good friends or teachers for help.
C. Run around the playground for some time.
D. Take a breath from time to time.
4.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “restore”in the passage?

On Friday, June 20th, 29 dogs along with their owners came to Santa Rosa, California. They came there to take part in an unusual competition—one that seeks out and honors the World’s Ugliest Dog. Now in its 26th year, the competition is one of the biggest attractions at the annual Sonoma County Fair.
Among the leading competitors were Cupcake, who was adopted (收養(yǎng)) from a local dog rescue center in January and Shorty, who would have been put to sleep if its owner, Jason, wasn’t kind enough to pick it up. Also competing was 11-year-old veteran Grovie. Described by his owner as short and funny, the Chinese pug is a local resident who has taken part in this contest several times. Then there was 2002 “World’s Ugliest Dog” and “Ring of Champions” winner, Rascal. The 7lbs naturally hairless dog with very few teeth comes from an impressive background (背景). His grandfather, Chi Chi, holds the Guinness World Record for winning the title “World’s Ugliest Dog” seven times!
But all these impressively “ugly” dogs had no chance against Peanut. The two-year-old dog was badly burnt in a fire which caused him to lose his lips, most of his body hair and eyelids. Besides winning the title, $1,500 USD in cash and a large trophy (獎杯), the first time winner also enjoyed an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City where he made scheduled appearances on the Today Show and the Jimmy Kimmel Show.
The competition is a great way to honor these dogs, many of whom get their unusual looks because of human abuse (虐待). But most importantly, it raises awareness about their adoption by showing the world that ugliness does not prevent dogs from becoming very loving pets.
1.Who play the biggest role in the competition mentioned in Para. 1?
A. The dog owners who are good at keeping dogs.
B. The people who have adopted dogs.
C. The dogs that have unusual skills.
D. The dogs that look very ugly.
2.It can be inferred that Jason adopted Shorty probably because he .
A. thought Shorty would win the competition
B. loved Shorty’s appearance very much
C. didn’t want Shorty to be homeless
D. didn’t want Shorty to be killed
3. What can we learn from Rascal’s impressive background?
A. He comes from a family of ugly dogs.
B. Most of his family members are well-known.
C. His grandfather had won the competition seven times.
D. Seven of his family members had won the competition.
4. According to the last paragraph, the competition wants to .
A. show that not all people are kind to dogs
B. call on people to adopt ugly dogs
C. tell people that loving pets usually don’t look good
D. warn people not to judge dogs by appearances

1. Penguins Mate for Life
During the mid-2000s, films like "Happy Feet" made penguins all the rage, and young lovers went around spreading the facts like "penguins mate for life." While the idea is sweet, it's not exactly true.
Penguins usually stick with their partners through the mating season, but when it's time to mate again, they choose whomever is convenient, not necessarily their old flame.
2. Vincent Van Gogh Cut Off His Entire Ear
This is not entirely true. It was not his entire ear - just the tip of the lobe(耳垂) - and some say he didn't even do it. Van Gogh lived with artist Paul Gauguin, who had quite a violent temper, and many believe Gauguin actually did the cutting.
Either way, Van Gogh did reportedly send the tip to a prostitute.
3. Napoleon Bonaparte was Short
Everyone knows Napoleon Bonaparte was a tiny man - after all, his nickname was "le Petit Corporal." His reputation for being short even inspired the phenomenon known as the "Napoleon complex."
In reality, Napoleon stood around 5 feet and 7 inches tall, which was very average back in the day. Many believe his nickname was meant as a term of endearment, not a reference to his height.
4. Ben Franklin Preferred a Turkey to a Bald Eagle
The bald eagle is certainly a well-known representation of America, but legend has it that if Ben Franklin had his way, a turkey would have been much better. In reality, Franklin wrote a letter to his daughter mocking the eagle symbol used in a seal(印章) by the Society of the Cincinnati, a private military group.
He said it looked like a turkey and may as well be one.
5. You Have Five Senses
If you remember learning about the senses in elementary school, you know humans possess five: sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste. Most scientists agree, however, that you have more like 10-20 senses, including pain, hunger, thirst, temperature, and more.
6. George Washington had Wooden Teeth
George Washington is known for three things: being the first president, chopping down a cherry tree, and having wooden teeth. At least one of these is certainly not true. While Washington did have bad teeth, his dentures(假牙) were not wooden.
7. Einstein was a Bad Student
If you ever made bad grades and pulled the old "Albert Einstein used to make bad grades" card with your parents or teachers, you are lucky you got away with it. In reality, Einstein was at the top of his class and mastered calculus when he was barely a teenager.
The reputation he developed for being a bad student had more to do with his behavior. He liked to talk back to his teachers.
1.Which is the true fact according to the passage?
A. Penguins usually stick with their partners through their whole lives.
B. Franklin laughed at the eagle symbol used in a seal and said it looked like a turkey.
C. Napoleon was much shorter than average.
D. George Washington’s false teeth were made of wooden.
2.Why do most people hold the idea that Albert Einstein used to make bad grades?
A. Because he used to like to talk with his teachers.
B. Because he used to be criticized by his parents.
C. Because he used to be different from other students.
D. Because he used to behave badly and usually didn’t respect his teachers.
