18、t of Road AccidentsDI 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, lets take a look at three types of “waits”.The very purest form of waiting is the Watche
19、d-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. 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 its full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about
20、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 Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait. Directions are
21、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 Lucky-
22、Break 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 ones life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the opti
23、mists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesnt come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody. zxxkWe certainly do spend a goo
24、d deal of our time waiting. The next time youre standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that youll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, dont be desperate. Youre probably just as busy as the next guy.51. While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to _
25、.A. keep ourselves busyB. get absent-mindedC. grow anxiousD. stay focused52. What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?A. The Forced Wait requires some self-control.B. The Forced Wait makes people passive.C. The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.D. The Watched-Pot Wait
26、engages body and brain. 53. What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?A. It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.B. It doesnt always bring the desired result. C. It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.D. It doesnt give people faith and hope.54. What does the author advise us to do the next ti
27、me we are waiting?A. Take it seriously.B. Dont rely on others.C. Do something else.D. Dont lose heart.55. The author supports his view by _.A. exploring various causes of “waits”.B. describing detailed processes of “waits”.C. analyzing different categories of “waits”D. revealing frustrating conseque

I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in a 1990s TV series, but it wasnt until I
31、 finished film studies that I pursued my career as an actress. Like those early days for Dad, I faced lots of rejections. Working in such a competitive industry, Ive sometimes thought, “ I cant do this any more.”Once, after a trip to Hollywood, I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting, listening to Eckhart Tolles music and trying to find myself again. Dad sat me down and said,“Alice, I know its hard, but its all about persistence(坚持不懈). ”Now I get to work with Dad a lot, which I love. We both passionate about acting, which comes from us being
