Most people-or at least more Western Europeans-did not accept daydreaming as part of their lives. In fact, until recently, daydreaming was viewed as a waste of time. Or it was considered an unhealthy escape from real life and its duties. But now some people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming. And it may be that more people are suffering from a lack of daydreaming than are suffering from too much of it.It now appears that a person's self-control and self-direction may suffer if he or she does no daydreaming at all. Such a person may become poorly equipped to deal with the pressures of daily life.Dr. Joan T. Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes to intellectual growth. It also improves concentration and the ability to get long with others, she says. Another researcher reported that daydreaming seemed to produce improved self-control and creative ability.But that's only part of the story. The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives, as we want them to be.Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming. He maintained that you can imagine your future. Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse. The young Thomas Edison pictured himself as an inventor. For these notable achievers, it appears that their daydreams came true.Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick believed that the way we pictured ourselves is often the way we turn out. He offered this advice: Hold a picture of yourself in your mind’s eye, and you will be drawn towards it. Picture yourself as defeated, and that alone will make victory impossible. Picture yourself vividly as winning, and that will contribute immeasurably to success. Do not picture yourself as anything, and you will drift(1)According to the passage, people who do not daydream will __________.A、suffer from a lack of daydreamingB、not waste timeC、improve concentrationD、escape from the real life(2)What does the first sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?A、But that's only part of the research.B、But there are still some other stories.C、But the story does not finish yet.D、But there are still some other positive uses of daydreaming.(3)The example of Thomas Edison is used to show __________.A、he is a successful dreamerB、he is a successful inventorC、daydreaming can shape our futureD、daydreaming can improve creative ability(4)According to Harry Emerson, if we do not imagine at all, we may __________.A、be defeatedB、wander and be aimlessC、achieve successD、overcome most of the problems(5)Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A、Daydreaming, too much or too little?B、Come on, Imaging Your Future!C、New Discoveries on Daydreaming.D、Citizens Embracing Daydreaming

Text 3 Transporting large containers is not as glamorous as making films, but shipping is doing more than Hollywood to boost southern California's economy these days. The nearby ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, already the two biggest in the country, are growing quickly thanks to trade with China. They are a giant job-creating engine, stimulating industrial and warehouse employment on a scale not seen in the region since the rise of the aerospace industry after the Second World War. Sadly, like most engines, they are filthy.The ports themselves reckon they are responsible for about 12% of all the diesel particle emissions and 45% of the sulphur oxides (硫的 氧化物) in southern California. Carried east by prevailing winds, such pollutants help to create some of America's worst air more than 50 miles inland. Those who live close to the freeways leading out of the ports suffer the most. Researchers have found that children living within a few hundred meters of such roads are not only more likely to suffer from asthma, a disease of the breathing system and characterized by sudden recurring attacks of labored breathing, and coughing. They actually have smaller lungs.The most ambitious effort to control pollution, and the one that may affect the local economy most drastically, involves truckers. Some 16,000 lorries currently haul containers between ships and warehouses, most of whom are owned by Hispanic immigrants. The drivers put in long hours: 13 a day is not unusual, according to a survey. They earn, on average, just under $35,000 a year. Such jobs, like many connected to the port, are an important stepping-stone on the path to the middle class.The ports want to remove the oldest trucks and gradually upgrade the others so that, within five years, the fleet emits four-fifths less pollution than at present. To help pay for this, they intend to levy (征收-) a fee of $34 to $54 on every “dirty” vehicle entering the port. Most important, they want to turn a large, unwieldy network of independent contractors into a more orderly group of companies, as happens in an airport. “We need to have more control,” explains Geraldine Knatz, the head of Los Angeles' port.The reforms do nonetheless pose a threat to the ports' competitiveness. At present, the truckers who work at the docks are price-takers, not price-setters. Because they are self-employed, they are almost impossible to unionize, and consequently have little bargaining power. All that could quite easily change if they were to become the employees of a few large firms. Indeed, the most enthusiastic welcome for the ports' plans has come not from environmental groups but from the Teamsters' union.第31题：What is the passage mainly about?［A］The consequences of shipping industry in southern California.［B］The causes of pollution along the coast of southern California.［C］The pollution problem of the shipping industry in southern California.［D］The role of shipping industry in southern California's economy.

Air pollutionPeople and air pollution are often in the same places. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major kind of air pollution is the gas from cars. Statistics(统计资料) show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities.Another major kind of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the county.On the average, we throw away more rubbish than the year before. The burning of rubbish makes air pollution even worse. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes(烟)from iron, steel, chemical, and petrol production add particles(微粒)to the air.The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode(腐蚀). In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the lives of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.26.
