A short time ago, a park in Selwood, England looked terrible. The lake water was dirty, the chairs were broken and the place was full of rubbish.
But now the park looks quite different, thanks to Michael Chambers a 16-year-old student. Michael started a group called Park Rescue. Volunteers of the group used their free time to clean the park. They took away the rubbish and started cleaning the lake. They fixed a lot of the chair and bought some new tables. They also planted some flowers and 60 young trees.
Michael told people what they were doing in the park through the newspaper. In six months, about 120 more people joined Park Rescue.
“The park is becoming a place that people can enjoy,” Michael says. “But we still have more work to do. We want to make a skate-boarding area. And now we need some advice about cleaning the lake.”

We often find ourselves in an endless thought loop (圈). And every so often, we try to stop this endless flow of thoughts by telling ourselves to just stop thinking. But do we or can we ever really stop thinking?
It depends on your definition (定义) of “thinking”, according to Michael Halassa, the US. We basically go through each day in one of the two states—we either realize that we’re thinking or we don’t. Our brains won’t stop thinking completely until we die.
“The brain never stops thinking in a sense. Most thoughts are actually in the background without us noticing them and there’s not really a way to turn these things.” Halassa said.
You can compare this to how a computer works. When you aren’t using your computer while it is turned on, it is still running operations “in the background”. Your computer, much like your brain, even if you’re not actively using it.
“If you see a familiar face in a crowd and think you know them, you might not be able to come up with how you know them right away,” Halassa said. “But maybe hours later, you’ll suddenly remember. That’s a result of your brain thinking in the background.”
We even make decisions mostly unconsciously or without realizing them. For example, some of this background “thinking” results in what we call a “gut feeling (直觉)”. During our brain’s decision-making process (精确的), sometimes it’s not.
Even sitting here reading this, thinking about “thinking” is sending messages across chain of neurons (神经元) in the brain. So if we somehow manage to stop ourselves from “thinking”, the brain won’t sign off. It will continue to have thoughts—we just won’t realize them.
【1】When you are in an endless thought loop, you ________.
A．can think about a problem very clearly
B．keep thinking about one thing after another
C．cannot stop thinking about things in the past
D．keep thinking about one thing again and again
【2】What does Paragraph 5 try to tell us?
A．Human brains are thinking all the time.
B．A computer can think like a human brain.
C．Human brains work faster than computers.
D．A computer can deal with plenty of information.
【3】The word “unconsciously” in Paragraph 7 probably means “________”.
A．carelessly
B．unknowingly
C．fearlessly
D．undoubtfully
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Will We Continue to Have Thoughts after We Die?
B．How Do the Neurons in the Brain Work?
C．What Is the Definition of “Thinking”?
D．Can We Ever Really Stop Thinking?
23、A man sat at an underground station in Washington, D.C. and started to play the violin. It was a cold day in January. He played Bach(巴赫) pieces for about 45 minutes. Thousands of people went through the station in a hurry, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and the first person, a middle-aged man, noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed down and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to go to work.
After a minute, the violinist received his first dollar: a young woman threw the money in the box, and continued to walk. Then another few minutes went by and someone stood against the wall to listen to him, but the young man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
During the musician’s performance, only a few people gave response(反应) to him: six people stopped and stayed for a while, twenty gave him money but continued to walk. When he finished playing, no one applauded(鼓掌): No one knew the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing in the underground station was organized by The Washington Post(《华盛顿邮报》) as part of a social experiment(实验). What we learn from this experiment could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other nice things are we missing?
【1】When did the story take place?
A．On a cold morning.
B．On a warm afternoon.
C．On a rainy evening.
D．On a windy weekend.
【2】How many people gave response to the musician’s performance?
A．6.
B．20.
C．26.
D．45.
【3】What was the writer’s purpose(目的) of writing this passage?
A．To let us know the importance of saving time.
B．To make us notice nice things around.
C．To find out what people usually did in the underground.
D．To do a survey on how many people were interested in music.
