I’m Susan. I’m a slim (苗條的) girl. Many girls ask me about how to be slim. I never exercise and I like eating meat. There’s only one reason behind it: my mom.

My mom cooks every day, but she even can’t cook a simple meal well. Our kitchen has been on fire many times. Twice this month! She’s a disaster (災(zāi)難) in the kitchen. We ask her to stay out of the kitchen, but she never listens to us. She wakes up early every morning and goes home early after work. She cooks every meal for us. We have to eat what she makes - or we eat what we can. So all of my family are not fat.

Last Saturday, Mom tried to cook chicken for dinner. The result was a burning (著火的) kitchen. Luckily, Dad did his best to save the family and put out the fire. Now, when Mom goes to the kitchen, I start to worry about our lives.

Although we have a bad cook at home, our house is always full of people for lunch and dinner. I don’t think they come for delicious food. They must enjoy the happy time at my home. In fact, my mom is warm, friendly and funny. I love her, though she can’t cook well.

1.Why is Susan slim?

A.She works hard. B.She eats at home.

C.She exercises a lot. D.She never eats meat.

2.What does Susan’s mom hate (討厭) to do?

A.To get up early in the morning. B.To go home early after work.

C.To stay out of the kitchen. D.To cook meals every day.

3.Which word might Susan want to use to describe (描述) last Saturday?

A.Scary. B.Relaxing.

C.Boring. D.Meaningful.

4.Susan thinks many people come to her home to ________.

A.learn from her dad B.enjoy delicious food

C.hear her mom’s stories D.enjoy the happy time

5.What’s the best title for the passage?

A.A Terrible Cook B.My Weekend

C.A Slim Girl D.My Family

Do you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? Sometimes the answer isn’t to just force an idea out of your mind. Instead, you might want to try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander（走神）. Yes, you heard that correctly. If you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming.

Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, found an association（聯(lián)系）between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes having participants（參與者）first do an “unusual-use task”. They had to try to come up with as many different ways to use an object as they could.

Then, the participants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task” again: Complete a difficult task ; complete an easy task; take a 12 –minute break; or skip（跳過）12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again.

Surprisingly, the group that performed(執(zhí)行) best was the one that completed the easy task. Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity.

But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? The answer is something known as “unconscious thought”. Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle（不易察覺的）way.

When you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not. Because it is free of control, it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas.

Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander.

1.What could you do to create great ideas according to the passage?

A.Work hard. B.Let your mind wander. C.Have a nice sleep. D.Read more books.

2.The “unusual-use task” included having participants______________________.

A.complete an easy task B.complete a very difficult task

C.take a 12-minute break D.come up with different ways to use an object

3.Why did the participants who completed the easy task perform best?

A.Because they were more creative than the others.

B.Because they were more knowledgeable than the others

C.Because they were better at solving problems than the others

D.Because they had the time to daydream, which might have helped unlock their creativity.

4.What does the underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A.Your brain is thinking about a problem outside of your awareness（意識）

B.Your brain knows what you’re thinking and doing.

C.Your brain has a purpose of its own that cannot be known.

D.Your brain refuses to receive any information from the outside world.

5.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Brainstorming is important to creative ideas.

B.The more we exercise our brains, the more ideas we will have.

C.Daydreaming is a way to improve creativity.

D.Problem-solving skills are important in our lives.
