Passage C
When the famous scientist, Albert Einstein, was 16 years old, he imagined himself riding. along a beam (束) of light. He used this picture in mind to help him when working out the theory of relativity. “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” said Einstein.
Daydreaming, called “thought experiments” by Einstein, can make you have wild imagination, like flying around in space. It lets your mind walk slowly around ideas, memories and experiences that aren’t happening right now. According to China’s health authorities (权威机构), daydreaming for a while each day can improve your health and creativity.
Getting into a daydream lets your mind relax when things are difficult. It helps you deal with worries and fears. For example, imagining how you’re going to speak up in class is like practicing the scene in your head, which can make you feel calmer. Daydreaming also inspires (激励) creativity and lets you find new worlds where there are no limits to what you can do or who you are. Gao Wei, an expert in thoughts and feelings, thinks we should find time to daydream. “Thinking for pleasure can be a powerful tool to shape our feelings.” he said. However, try not to let your mind be absent when you need to pay attention in class or cross the road. Instead, find the time when you don’t have to do anything carefully, like going for a walk.
Think about interesting ideas and see where your mind takes you. Research shows that people often come up with more solutions to problems after they’ve taken a mind break. So next time you’re busy with hard work, stop for a moment and see where your daydreams take you.
56. In Paragraph 1, the writer tells us something ________ to start the passage.
A. by giving an example. B. by raising a question. C. by listing numbers. D. by comparing facts.
57. Daydreaming can make people ________.
A. fly around B. walk slowly C. think freely D. be more careless
58. The expert called Mr. Gao suggests ________.
A. escaping from the hard time B. looking for new worlds
C. finding time to imagine D. making a powerful tool
59 What’s the writer’s purpose of writing Paragraph 4
A. To show a science research result. B. To talk about interesting ideas.
C. To help people finish the homework. D. To remind people to have a mind break.
60. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Albert Einstein’s discovery. B. The importance of daydreaming.
C. The best time to daydream. D. How to improve health through daydreaming.
IX. Reading expression. (2*5=10)
Read the passage and answer the questions.
In the world literature, there are some famous works about love and missing. The feelings are not only between lovers, but also between other people, such as parents and kids, or friends.
There is a famous Chinese poem, “Love Seeds”. It was written by the poet, Wang Wei. He used red beans to express his missing for his friends. The poet wished his friend to collect as many red beans as possible. As time goes on, Chinese people have been using red beans to express a feeling of missing.
Red beans have a strong meaning in Chinese culture. Red beans are often hard and come in a heart shape. They are similar in color to that of blood and can be kept for a long time without fading (褪色). Red beans mean love and loyalty. Men give red beans to their lovers to show their loyalty and women wear jewelry (首饰) made of red beans to expect a happy life.
Compared with expressing love to others by saying “I love you” or “I miss you” directly, Chinese poets express the feelings of love, missing and so on in a symbolic way. For example, poets use pears to describe the moment of goodbye and they regard the full moon as a symbol of a family reunion.
Chinese people love to use poems to express their deep thoughts and feelings. The charm (魅力) of Chinese culture and words is shown in several words in the poems.
61. What did Wang Wei wish his friend to do
62. What shape do red beans come in according to the passage
63. Why do women wear jewelry made of red beans
64. How do Chinese poets express the feelings
