Fun-loving, sociable, beautiful - if Cape Town were on Facebook, that's her description. But Cape Town is perhaps most popular for "mountain" known as Africa's adventure playground. Sitting in the heart of a vast ecosystem of beautiful plants and animals, Table Mountain features a 3-km flat top that boasts one of Africa's most breathtaking views, ideal for amateur (业余的) and experienced photographers alike. For many people, getting to the mountain's flat top is most of the fun.
1. Cable-way
Table Mountain is often covered by special clouds that form when wind blows up the slopes into colder air, causing wet air to freeze into what looks like a "tablecloth." Legend attributes this phenomenon to a pirate (海盗) called Van Hunks, the Devil and a local tobacco contest between them. On clear days,the lucky tourists can ride a cable car from the base of the mountain to the beautiful flat top. To date, more than 20 million visitors have ridden this 360-degree cable car system.
2. Hiking
Numerous hiking paths offer tourists various levels of climbing difficulty up the face of the mountain. A typical climb takes about two and a half hours, but plan for longer depending on weather, which can change very suddenly. Take at least a litre of water with you, and wear strong, comfortable shoes -- the paths are characteristically stony and uneven.
3. Caving, Rock Climbing, and Mountain Biking
Caving, rock climbing and mountain biking are very popular pastimes on Table Mountain, with well-sandstone caves pointing to steep paths, unusual routes, and adventure for various levels of expertise. Go as a group, or hire a guide to show you the ropes.
Whether you're an experienced climber, an amateur photographer or a first-time traveller. Africa's Table Mountain is definitely what you'll want to add to your Facebook friend list.

My father, then an income tax officer, began studying law in the last decade of his service. It was extremely difficult for him to manage work, take care of his family and study for law - a three-year course -for which he would attend college in the evenings and take regular exams, at the same time. His colleagues would discourage him with the logic, "Why do you need this As a government employee, you will receive a life-long pension (退休金)." Others would say,"If you make it, you know there's no advantage; but if you fail, you become the laughing stock in the department."Unswerving(坚定的),he kept at it.
And so, the law exams posed no challenge for him. Neither did the bar exam that followed. After retiring, he immediately took up work at a law firm specializing in income tax. From here, he retired after 25 years of distinguished service at the age of 84. In this second career, he held a unique record of not having lost a single case there.
His contribution hit me only a couple of years ago when I'd accompanied him to an ex-colleague's son's wedding. All his past clients were there. They crowded around my 85-year-old father as though he was a film star! They were pleading with him to return or at least to take up their cases part-time from home. This was the perfect example of "brand aura (气质)" that Harvard professors would theorize about in their lectures.
That is the power of knowledge. And there's no age limit to acquiring it. All you need is to be devoted and sincere in your pursuit of it. I'm sharing this so that each one of you can feel as inspired as I have been. Gather the courage to learn and keep growing. It will always give you the best returns over time.
4. Why does the author mention his father's colleagues' words
A. To prove his father's desire for fortune.
B. To highlight his father's determination.
C. To explain his father's brief hesitation.
D. To show his father's legal potential.
5. What was special about the father's second career in law
A. He earned large amounts of money.
B. He worked with many colleagues.
C. He achieved a perfect win record.
D. He became a Harvard professor.
6. What does the underlined phrase "pleading with" mean in paragraph 3
A. Reminding gently.
B. Promising firmly.
C. Allowing politely.
D. Inviting sincerely.
7. What lesson can we learn from the text
A. Knowledge has power and learning has no age limit.
B. Old-age career change is possible for tax officers.
C. People should never be satisfied with stable jobs.
D. A"brand aura" helps gain popularity and trust.
C
Many people believe that multitasking is an efficient way to get more done in less time, assuming it boosts productivity in both personal and professional lives. This common perception suggests that handling multiple tasks at once allows individuals to maximize their time. However, research and real-world examples suggest that this belief might be misguided.
Supporters of multitasking claim that it allows people to combine various activities into a smooth workflow, potentially resulting in improved time management. For example, a student might prepare for an exam while listening to music, thinking it helps them stay focused, or a professional might answer emails during a conference call, believing it makes their workday more efficient. The concept is that by handling multiple tasks at once, one can achieve more within the same time frame.
However, numerous studies have shown that multitasking often has the opposite effect. Research conducted by Stanford University found that people who frequently multitask are actually less efficient at handling multiple tasks than those who focus on one task at a time. These multitaskers struggle to organize thoughts and ignore unnecessary information, leading to decreased productivity. The American Psychological Association also notes that the cognitive cost of switching tasks can consume up to 40% of productive time, which significantly reduces efficiency.
Real-world examples show the negative aspects of multitasking. A driver texting while navigating traffic is more likely to have an accident due to divided attention. Similarly, an employee constantly switching between tasks may produce lower quality work and take longer to complete projects. In contrast, companies that encourage focused work periods, such as using the Pomodoro Technique, report improved productivity and job satisfaction among employees.
To truly embrace single-tasking, several strategies can be applied. Prioritizing tasks by urgency and importance is key, using tools like Trello or Asana to track progress. Techniques such as the Pomodoro Technique, which involves working on a single task for 25 minutes followed by a short break, help maintain focus and prevent burnout.
Minimizing distractions is also crucial. Establishing "quiet hours" for focused work without interruptions, and setting specific times for checking emails, can help maintain concentration. Additionally, building a workplace culture that values quality over quantity encourages thorough task completion.
Reevaluating our approach to productivity is essential. As more people recognize the benefits of focused work, a shift towards more effective task management may occur, leading to better outcomes for individuals and organizations alike. By putting these strategies into action, we can build a work environment that is more productive and rewarding.
8. What do many people believe about multitasking according to the first paragraph
A. It improves social skills.
B. It boosts productivity.
C. It reduces stress.
D. It enhances creativity.
9. What do supporters of multitasking believe it helps achieve
A. Improved time management.
B. Greater relaxation.
C. Enhanced focus.
D. Better teamwork.
10. What is one impact of multitasking mentioned in the fourth paragraph
A. It improves job satisfaction.
B. It reduces task completion time.
C. It increases productivity.
D. It causes divided attention.
11. What is the author's intention in writing this passage
A. To present research on the downsides of multitasking.
B. To share personal experiences with multitasking.
C. To explain how to multitask effectively.
D. To describe the history of multitasking.
D
Believe it or not, you could be creating a bad impression on others, whether at your job or in your personal life, with what you don't say, even if you are saying and doing the right things. That's because many of our reactions to others are based on body language. If your body language is communicating a negative message, that's the message others could be getting, regardless of what actual words come out of your mouth.
What are some of the negative messages sent via body language Things like having your arms folded across the chest can show hostility (敌意). Lack of eye contact can indicate shiftiness (奸诈).An unsmiling face could communicate a variety of things, like anger, disappointment or sadness, depending upon what other facial expressions are included at the same time. Want to know what body language communicates An interesting approach is to watch a TV show or a movie with the sound off, and see how much you can figure out of the plot, or at least you can get a sense of what is going on.
However, many of the clues that indicate negativity could also be the result of nervousness or other issues. For example, somebody who doesn't make eye contact could simply be nervous. The same is true of a not-so-firm handshake. Someone folding his arms could simply be more comfortable with the arms that way. Someone who doesn't smile could be self-conscious about her teeth. The person who sends off bad body gestures may not even realize that they're doing it.
Unfortunately, some people who do recognize what body language communicates are scam (欺诈) artists. They may have the firmest handshake you've ever had, the shiniest smile you've ever seen and make the greatest eye contact so that you find their sincerity so convincing and their schemes so irresistible. They can achieve what they desire because they know how much this nonverbal communication matters in communicating a sense of trustworthiness. People fall for them, because their body language seems so truthful.
If you're not sure what your body language is communicating, better ask a trusted friend for help. You can also concentrate on standing up straight and sitting up straight, if posture (姿势) is a problem. What's more, practicing in front of a mirror can also help you get rid of some bad habits. Also, remember to smile and nod if needed. And try to learn how to relax. Pay more attention to these details in your daily communications, and you will send more positive messages with your body language.
12. Watching a TV show with the sound turned off, we can.
A. have a chance to experience how much body language counts
B. have a lot of fun guessing what the characters are saying
C. learn to tell the messages such as hostility or shiftiness
D. practice how to read other's body language correctly
13. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. We can judge a person's attitude correctly according to his expression.
B. Verbal expressions matter more in making an impression on others.
C. A not-so-firm handshake may indicate that one is self-conscious.
D. A person who is not smiling must be communicating hostility.
14. We can learn from the 4th paragraph that_.
A. you will be regarded as a scam artist if you shake hands firmly
B. people can make use of body language for wrong purposes
C. a person with great eye contact will be seen a scam artist
D. one should not put trust in a person with a shiniest smile
15. Which is the best title for this passage
A. Is Body Language Serving You Well
B. What Can Body Language Convey
C. Body Language and Messages.
D. The Secret of Body Language.
