11．(Three classmates are talking about their homework on DingTalk at the weekend.)
Qian, Fei, Lin
Fei: Hi, there. Have you finished the reading exercises?
Li: Of course.
Qian: (1)      
Fei: It took me nearly half an hour.
Lin: @Fei. (2)       I spent only 5 minutes on it.
Qian: @Lin. I guess you just finished the exercises.
Lin: Yes. (3)      
Qian: @Lin. The teacher always tells us to try to think more and get more from reading. I wrote a short summary of the passage.
Fei: @Qian. (4)      
Lin: It seems that I did so little. Thank you for reminding me.
Qian: @Lin. It's nothing. (5)      
Fei: Good idea! We can share our thoughts.
Lin: I can't agree more!

12．　　If you love singing competition shows, you may have watched Produce 101. It has been popular since it was played on the Internet on April 21st, 2018 for the first time. 101 girls took part in the show and (1)      . After several rounds (回合), the top 11 girls formed a girl group.
　　Among all the girls, Wang Ju is a special one. Although the girl is good at singing and dancing, she is not like a (2)       "princess" who is thin, white-skinned and shy. Quite the opposite, she is strong, dark and (3)       speaks out what she wants to say. She was once the No.1 in an Internet voting (投票) round, getting the most (4)      . "It's time for a new generation of girl groups," wrote a reporter. "(5)       comes in all shapes, sizes and personalities (个性)."
　　But people love Wang Ju not just because she looks different from other beautiful girls. With her words — "It's better to change the wind than to (6)       it," Wang shows the qualities of being independent and ambitious (有抱负的). Some people think girls should be sweet and quiet and play cute all the time. (7)      , she makes it clear what she wants, and fights hard for her dreams.
　　"Many people tell me that I am not (8)       to be in a girl group, but I think I have the chance to redefine (重新定义) a girl group," she said during an interview after one of her shows. It seems that, in her own world, she has successfully "changed the wind".

14．　　The International Space Station (ISS) is a science lab in space, where there are six people now. Usually astronauts stay in the ISS for five or six months. Can you imagine how boring it is to live in a tight (紧凑的) space with just five other people for six months? CIMON 2, a floating (浮动的) computer, was created to work there for three years to help astronauts. It was sent to the ISS on December 5th, 2019.
　　CIMON was created with two jobs in mind. One is helping astronauts with tasks. The other is trying to be "someone" astronauts can talk to. It is a robot with a face which was created by the European airplane company, Airbus. It has no arms or legs, but it can move where it needs to go with motors inside.
　　Helping astronauts is easy for CIMON — it can see, hear, understand, and speak. Its "mouth" is a loudspeaker that can be used to talk or play music. The brains behind CIMON were provided by IBM, a computer company famous for training computers to understand human speech. CIMON can understand not just what people say, but what they mean. If astronauts ask it for instructions or information, CIMON can answer the astronauts, or use its screen to display pictures or documents (文件), if needed. CIMON also has several cameras, which can take pictures and videos to help astronauts keep records of experiments or other important actions.
　　The more difficult part of CIMON's job is being a companion for the astronauts. The first CIMON could understand what people were saying and mastered more than 1,000 sentences, but it was not enough. CIMON 2 has been improved so that it can find out how people are feeling.
　　 The creator hopes CIMON will be a calm, trusted friend that astronauts can talk to when they don't want to talk with others. This could be especially important if tension (紧张气氛) in a group of astronauts causes them to stop thinking clearly.

15．　　It may seem strange to think about countries being "happy" when most of the world is fighting with the coronavirus (冠状病毒), but a yearly report by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network ranked the world's countries by how happy they are.
　　To get an idea of how happy people are, the researchers told people to imagine life as a ladder (阶梯). (1)       The best possible life would be on step 10. Then the researchers asked people where they were on the ladder. They asked this question of 10,000 people in 156 different countries over the last three years.
　　For the third year in a row, the report named Finland as the world's happiest country. (2)       The other top four countries were Denmark, Switzerland, Iceland and Norway.
　　(3)       These included how much money people make, how long they live, how free they are, how much help they get from the people around them, and whether the government is seen as honest.
　　Clearly, the kind of happiness that was being measured (衡量) by the report wasn't just about laughing, smiling, and telling jokes. (4)       The report suggested that when people live in a place where they trust other people and the government, they are more likely to be happy. The report's authors described these as "high-trust" countries.
　　As countries around the world face the big challenges brought by the coronavirus, the report's authors don't lose heart. (5)      
　　Actually, in high-trust areas, disasters (灾难) can often leave people with a surprisingly good feeling. They say difficult times let them know there are lots of good people around who would like to lend a helping hand.

16．　　People often say that the world is getting smaller. By this, they mean with the rapid development of society, communications and trades between countries have been improved a lot. So each country knows one another more and more. There seems to be a lot of truth to this. After all, you can buy African food in Norway, or watch a French movie in China.
　　However, countries still have the power to shock the people who visit them for the first time. For many of us, there are still real differences in the cultures and habits between nations.
　　Recently, a Serbian student, Milorad Boti, was surprised on a school trip to Germany when he found that public bathrooms there were not the same as those in his home country. He noticed that after using the closestool (马桶), the lid (盖子) of the closestool rotated (旋转) as part of a cleaning process.
　　Most often, however, eating habits are different between cultures. When visiting a Western country, an Indian man, Kaushal Barot, noticed people often talk in restaurants for hours with friends. Kaushal was surprised because in India, restaurants are for one thing only.
　　The differences in cultures can seem positive, negative (负面的), or just strange. But rather than something to be feared, these differences should be welcomed. In fact, if the whole world were like one big country, it would be a much more boring place. So let's be proud of our own culture, and at the same time, be open to the cultures of others.

　　Have you ever done this? You may be in an English class, hoping that no one notices you're doing your math homework and talking with your partner once a while. So you are multitasking!
　　What is multitasking?
　　Multitasking is now used to describe the ability to do several things at the same time. When you're busy, several jobs done at the same time sounds far more productive than just dealing with a single one. But is it true?
　　(1)______
　　For many people, multitasking has become a way of life and even a key to success. However, people who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things or more at once, because they are easily distracted (注意力分散的) and can't focus on one activity. The research shows that as people move from task to task, their mind actually moves to another thought or task, and then takes a "moment" to come back.
　　Should you "multi-task" or "mono-task"?
　　Multitasking is easy when at least one of the tasks requires little thought. Most people don't find it difficult to eat and read the newspaper at the same time. However, when two or more tasks that require attention are tried at the same time, people sometimes make mistakes.

How can you become more productive?
It's not easy to stay focused, especially in the information age — there are so many distractions.
But you can practice being focused.
●Set goals. 在采取行动之前，你应该知道你需要达成什么目标。
●List the tasks you have to do. This helps you decide what to do first, and also which two can be done at the same time.
●Set a time limit (限制) on your task. Try writing or working for 30 minutes and then take a break.
