It was a Friday morning, 7:30 a.m. I felt too lazy to drive my car so I asked my son to book a taxi. In five minutes, the taxi arrived. I just saw the car number and entered the car. I was so busy that I didn’t pay any attention to the driver. I was searching for an important paper from my bag, so I said, “Please, go quick! I’m in a hurry!” The voice came, “Yes, madam!” I was surprised when I heard a woman’s voice. I stopped for a second and looked at the driver. She was a young lady, around 30 years old. I had never had a woman Uber driver before. I became interested in why she chose this job. I started the conversation, “If you don’t mind, can I ask you some questions?”

“Yes, madam! No problem,” she said.

“I guess you are well-qualified,” I said.

“Yes, madam! I have completed my education. I have even gotten my MBA (工商管理硕士).”

“What made you choose to do this job?” I could see her smiling face in the rear-view mirror (后视镜).

“I love driving. I don’t care how big or small my job is. I wanted a job where I can get satisfaction (满足). I haven’t made much money from it yet, but as I told you, I love driving! That’s all there is to it.” Very politely, she said, “Driving has been my dream since childhood.” Of course, I respect (尊重) each and every job. In this case, at least I realized my dream.”

Do you ever feel like you are running from one activity to another, or studying one subject after another at a mad rush?

When things happen at such a fast pace (节奏), you will easily fail to notice what you are doing, or what you are learning. It is important to stop yourself every now and then to think about what you’ve been doing or learning. This is called self reflection (自我反思)

There are mainly two forms of self reflection. Some people prefer to do their self reflection in their minds, while others keep written notes. Whether the reflection is done in mind or on paper, either of them can work.

School textbooks are often divided into units. It is a good choice for a student to get started a self reflection. When one unit is over, there are always some kinds of tests. You can use these natural breaks as chances to stop and reflect. Find a quiet place. This can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something early and the other students are still working. If you are going to take notes, take out a piece of paper or your reflection notebook. Just take down the important points but not everything. Let your mind think over the notes you have written and make some connections.

Sometimes just stopping to think deeply allows your brain to make connections so that new information can be quickly recalled (回想起) when you need it again. Next, think about things that you still wonder. For example, maybe you learned a new way to solve a maths problem, but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to continue looking for answers the next time you come across the same topic.

Self reflection is an essential skill for a successful student. If you have never taken time to reflect, try it now.

61. What will happen if we study at a too fast pace according to Paragraph 2?

A. We will be very tired. B. We will get good grades in exams.

C. We will not notice what we are learning. D. We will have more time to do other things.

62. Why should we do self reflection?

A. To have more activities and subjects

B. To make things happen faster and better.

C. To make our brain more and more active.

D. To have a better understanding about what we learned.

63. When we study a textbook，how can we do self reflection correctly?

A. Find a quiet place and think deeply.

B. Reflect after finishing the whole book.

C. Take down everything that you learned.

D. Have a discussion with classmates about the questions.

64. What does the underlined word “essential” mean in the passage?

A. Important. B. Difficult. C. Impossible. D. Harmful.

65. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Self Reflection in Mind or Taking Notes B. Self Reflection Makes You a Better Learner

C. Why Not Try These Steps of Self Reflection D. Find a Good Place and Time for Self Reflection

Ⅸ.任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)

阅读下面短文，按要求完成 66-70题。

“Creativity is the key to a bright future,” said education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can help their children, to develop their creativity.

If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new kind of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he invented a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Drew didn’t stop and finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And the company learned from its mistake. Now the company encourages its workers to spend 15%of their work time just thinking about and developing new ideas.

Creativity is not something one is just born with. A person with high intelligence(智力)does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using your intelligence to think of new ideas that are good for something.

We know that many schools have tried to develop students’ creativity, but some teachers only want to develop students’ reading, writing and math skills, and have to give up creativity for correct answers. Children from such schools can give correct answers, but they are unable to use them to work out problems.

It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should learn to make decisions and understand their results. Even though it’s choosing between two kinds of food for lunch, decision—making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children ________ how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the wrong decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right.
