This Way to Dreamland

Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes

them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of

what’s

happening

around

them.

They

can

seem

forgetful

and

clumsy.

71

They

annoy

us

because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.

But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in

human

history.

72

Can

you

imagine

what

kind

of

world

we

would

have

without

such

ideas and inventions?

So

how

can

you

come

up

with

brilliant

daydreams

and

avoid

falling over

tree roots

or

otherwise looking like a fool?

First,

understand

that

some

opportunities(

机会

)

for daydreaming

are

better

than

others.

Feeling

safe

and

relaxed

will

help

you

to

slip

into

daydreams.

73

And

if

you

want

to

improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re

daydreaming, try to do it while you

are involved in another task

—

preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or

even making meaningless drawings.

It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need

to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.

___74___

2

Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved

slowly away.

75

Always

remember

that

your

best

ideas

might

come

when

your

head

is

actually

in

the

clouds.

A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.

B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.

C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post

-it notes.

D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.

E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.

F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard

to understand.

G

. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re

in the

daydream zone.

E.

Have no fear.

F.

Go it alone.

One of the best things you can do any time in the semester is go see the professor. So

hoof on over to an office hour and have some one-on-

one face time with someone who’ll help you

master the material and improve your grade, to boot. But how should you have this conversation

with the professor?Here are five insider tips about how to make that office hour really count:.

61.

_________ No need to get all bent out of shape about going to see the professor. The professor

would actually

like

to see you and answer your questions. Believe it or not, he or she is on your

side and is eager to see you do well. And besides, he or she has seen many students stupider than

you, so nothing you’re going to

ask will set the record for stupidity.

62.

_________ Even though you might feel more comfortable going with a friend or partner, the

office

hour

will

go

better

if

it’s

just

you

and

the

professor.

You’ll

get

in

more

questions,

the

discussion will be tailored to what you need most help on, and two-party communication is almost

always more productive than committee work. Your friend can wait outside for the discussion.

3

63.

___

_______ If you can’t make the official office hours, most professors are willing to make

individual appointments to help you out. If you’re lucky enough to land such an accommodation,

though, be sure you’re 100 percent on time. There’s nothing that ticks o

ff a professor more than

making him-or herself available for a

custom office hour only to find that you don’t care enough

to

come

on

time.

And

besides,

the

professor

might

leave

after

ten

minutes,

which

would

make

your trip a total loss.

64.

__________ If you’

re meeting with the professor to go over a paper or test, or to ask questions

about a particular lecture or reading,make sure you bring that paper or test, or your lecture notes or

a

copy

of

the

article.

The

professor

doesn’t

remember

the

comments

he

or

sh

e

wrote

on

your

individual piece of work---though he or she will be able to recall them after just a brief glance at

your work. And if you have your lecture notes or the article in hand, you and the professor will be

able to examine specific points that are confusing to you, rather than just talking in a general way

about the contents.

65.

___________ Office hours almost always go better if you bring a few specific questions to the

meeting.

It’s

almost

never

good

to

start

a

meeting

with

general

comments

such

as“I

didn’t

understand what you said about [main topic of the course]” or“I couldn’t understand any of your

lectures

last

week.”

Much

better

is

to

come

in

with

two

or

three

conversation

-starters

about

a

specific concept, point, or problem you didn’t understa

nd. Keep in mind that in a fifteen-minute

office hour (which is how long these things usually last), two or three questions are usually the

most you’ll have time to discuss.

Evaluating Sources (

来源

) of health Information

Making good choices about your own health requairs reasonable evaluation. A key first step

in

bettering

your

evaluation

ability

is

to

look

carefully

at

your

sources

of

healthy

information.

Resonable

evaluation

includes

knowing

where

and

how

to

fins

relevant

information,

how

to

separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and

the reliability of sources.

71

Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find

out for yourself what a study really reported, and determin whether it was based on good science.

Think about the type of study.

73

Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour

“

contributes to

”

or is

“

associated with

”

an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result.

73

Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.

Use your common sense. Ifa report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially

careful of information contained in advertisements.

74

Evaluate

“

scientific

”

statements

carefully, and be aware of quackery(

江湖骗术

).

75

Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but

4

each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.

will serve you well throughout your life.

A. Make choice that are right for you.

B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.

C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.

D. And examine the findings of the original research.

E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.

F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author

’

s point of view.

G

. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive

from common sources.

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule

From my experience , there are three main reasons why people don

’

t cook more often :ability ,

money , and time 36

.Money is a topic

I’

ll save for another day .So today I want to give you

some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spent in the kitchen .Here are three tips

for great cooking on a tight schedule :

1.

Think ahead .The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when

I’

m already hungry and

there

’

s nothing ready to eat .So think ahead of the coming week .When will you have time to

cook ?Do you have the right materials already ? 37

.

2.

Make your time worth it .When you do find time to cook a meal , make the most of it and

save yourself time later on .Are you making one loaf of bread ?

38

.It takes around the

same amount of time to make more of something .So save yourself the effort for future

meal .

3.

39

This may surprise you , but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time

is experimentation .It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can

work

well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more

ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

Hopefully that gives you a good start. 40_______ And don

’

t let a busy schedule discourage
