I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, let's take a look at three types of \"waits”.

第 4 页 共 15 页

The very purest form of waiting is the WatchedPot Wait It is without doubt the most annoying of al Take filling up the kitchen sink (洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.

A cousin to the WatchedPot Wait is the Forced Wait This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait Directions are very specific. \"Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.\" I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.

Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the LuckyBreak Wait This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.

Turning one's life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the LuckyBreak Wait well serves those who are willing to do it As long as one doesn't come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.

We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don't feel disappointed. You're probably just as busy as the next guy.

（1）While doing a WatchedPot Wait, we tend to _______. A . keep ourselves busy B . get absent-minded C . grow anxious D . stay focused

（2）What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the WatchedPot Wait? A . The Forced Wait requires some self- control. B . The Forced Wait makes people strict C . The WatchedPot Wait needs directions. D . The WatchedPot Wait involves body and brain. （3）What can we learn about the LuckyBreak Wait? A . It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait B . It doesn't always bring the desired result C . It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.

第 5 页 共 15 页

D . It doesn't give people faith and hope.

（4）What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting? A . Take it seriously. B . Don't rely on others. C . Do something else. D . Don't lose heart.

A couple of sparrows(麻雀) lived happily in a huge tree in a jungle. The female sparrow had laid her eggs and they were expecting their babies soon.

One day, an elephant was unable to tolerate the heat of the summer sun. He destroyed all trees, including the tree where the sparrows lived.

The sparrows managed to escape by flying away, but they lost their babies. The eggs fell down to the ground and broke into pieces. They cried loudly and decided to kill the elephant.

They asked their friends, a woodpecker and a fly for help. The fly took them to meet one of his friends, an old frog. The frog was wise and he came up with a good plan soon.

The frog explained, \"Fly! Your task is to buzz in the elephant's ears in order to make him sleepy. The woodpeckers task is to hurt his eyes and make him blind. In this hot summer days, he will certainly search for water. I will sit by the nearby pit(深坑) and shout at the top of my voice.\"

He continued, \"When the thirsty elephant hears me, he will think there is a pond or lake nearby and follow my voice. And when he does so, he will fall into the pit and die.\"

The others agreed to the frog's plan. Everyone did their tasks perfectly. Finally, the elephant fell into the pit and died.

（1）The underlined word \"tolerate\" means________. A . protect B . stand C . mind D . encourage

（2）Why did the sparrows want to kill the elephant? A . Because the elephant destroyed all trees. B . Because the elephant killed some small animals.

C . Because the elephant's behavior made them lose their babies. D . Because the elephant wanted to own their tree. （3）In what order did the following events take place? a. The frog shouted by the pit.
