4．（8分）For her 85th birthday，I gave my mother Susan an iPad.She'd never used a computer.She had a trying relationship with her TV remote control and a painful experience with her mobile phone.However，this time she was dying to learn about the iPad.She believed that if she didn't keep up with technology
Our first task was email.She quickly learned the basic rules but couldn't understand why she has to email others when she could phone or visit in person.
Next，we dealt with Netflix，the widely﹣used video website.Mom is a movie lover and she was surprised by the number of movies that Netflix can offer.One Saturday（登录） Netflix.I suggested it might require an update."They probably have fewer people working as it's a long weekend，"she told me.
Later，she taught herself to learn FaceTime and started her experiments with podcasts，and even started emailing her grandchildren.
As she became more familiar，she began wondering about all the icons（图标），so we set up a weekly lecture，each of us with our iPads.One day，I tried for 45 minutes to help her find the search bar." It looks like a magnifying glass（放大镜），she asked：" You mean the frying pan ？"
Unexpectedly，she made great progress.Now she becomes interested in E﹣books and even check them out in the middle of the night.She watches TV series and knows what's popular.It's great to see how much her confidence has grown.Yesterday，she FaceTimed me."

5．（8分）①"Why don't you ever listen？"
"You just don't understand me!"
"You're of no help at all!"
②Sound familiar？When you're having a difficult conversation with your parents or friends，accusatory words like those can stop a discussion.As soon as one feels attacked，the defensive（防御的） walls come up，without spending time thinking about and telling why we're feeling hurt.Here lie the differences between"I"and "you" statements.
③An"I﹣statement"is a sentence beginning with the word"I" that tells another person how you are feeling in a clear way.For example，you might say，"I feel..." or "I become nervous when.."I﹣statements are a powerful tool to help you express your feelings to someone else without blaming（责怪），"such as those listed above，are statements that begin with the word "you"
④Why are I﹣statements important？When you start a conversation by talking about the other person's actions，you're sending the message that they're the problem.For most people，this immediately leads to them becoming defensive and trying to throw blame back onto you.However，and stops other people feeling blamed.This can be seen in the case when you feel left out.Instead of saying "You always leave me out"，you can say "I feel hurt when I'm not invited because it feels like I'm not welcome".With this I﹣statement，but you're not presenting them as something the other person did to you.As a result，the listener tends to experience this as more friendly
⑤It's a simple change，but by being a little more careful of how you express yourself，you may find people are more likely to positively listen to you and understand more about what you are trying to say.
（1）What does the underlined phrase"accusatory words"mean？ 　 　
A.Words that attack others.
B.Words to explain reasons.
C.Words that sound familiar.
D.Words to start conversations.
（2）Which of the following might be an"I﹣statement"？

B.I am anxious when everything is in a mess.

（4）Why does the writer write this passage？ 　 　
A.To encourage people to use I﹣statements.
B.To explain when I﹣statements should be used.
C.To show the disadvantages of you﹣statements.
D.To suggest being careful of others' you﹣statements.
6．（8分）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），you heard that correctly.If you are in need of a new idea，try daydreaming.
Daydreams allow your mind to run freely and even increase productivity in some cases.Daydreaming develops creativity which is why you have an ah﹣ha moment and sudden insight about a situation.Daydreaming allows you to uncover thoughts and ideas you did not realize you even had and get the thoughts hidden under the surface.
Researchers from the University of California，Santa Barbara，found an association （联系）（参与者） 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，take a 12﹣minute break，or skip （跳过）
Surprisingly，the group that performed 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 （不易察觉的）
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）The "unusual﹣use task" included having participants 　 　.
A．complete a very simple task
B．achieve a very difficult task
