Humans have daydreamed for thousands of years, and yet, these days, spare moments are filled with using our smartphones and other devices—going through social media, listening to podcasts, responding to emails—leaving us little time to let our minds wander.
1. When you’re in a daydreaming state of mind, you can imagine or pretend your own version of events.
“My most creative moments come when my brain is allowed to rest” says Megan King, a designer. But she is addicted to her smart phone. 2. According to Nielsen, Americans spend 10.5 hours a day consuming media. And UK residents are close behind at almost 10 hours a day, according to eMarketer.
3. This may seem a small change, but its effect, on the way our minds work and on our collective creativity could be serious. 4.
Over years of studies, researchers have found that our brain has two separate attention systems — an external one and an internal one. The internal attention system, which is activated(激活)during daydreaming, is called the default network(默認網(wǎng)絡).
The default network is particularly active when we are thinking about ourselves, thinking about the past, thinking about the future. 5.
If both systems can’t be active at the same time and we’re spending 10 hours a day in one attention system, it begs the question: what is that doing to our brains — and our ability to come up with creative ideas?
A. Daydreaming is the opposite of our dreams.
B. This extended screen time has made some of us uncomfortable sitting alone with our own thoughts.
C. Daydreaming is how we access our big-picture state of mind.
D. In fact, it could be preventing your ability to come up with fresh, creative ideas.
E. We can’t really have both attention systems active at the same time.
F. People spend too much time on screen suffer from headaches.
G. She's not alone.

In January, 2016, Harry Styles made a bold decision. He left the popular boy band One Direction and went solo (單飛). Now he is making his own voice heard. The 23-year-old British singer released his first solo single called Sign of the Times. His self-titled album (個人同名專輯) is coming out on May 12.
Going solo is a journey for him to find his identity (身份). Though at the time, he was uncertain about his future, he kept a word in his mind - “honesty”. “I didn’t want to write ‘stories’,” he told Rolling Stone. “I wanted to write my stories, things that happened to me. The number-one thing was I wanted to be honest. I hadn’t done that before.”
He is indeed full of stories since beginning his solo career. Last fall, he spent two months recording on a remote island in Jamaica (牙買加).Along with some musicians, he filled a two-floor house with instruments. They hung out at the bar that looked like a tree house. Many mornings began with a swim in the river down the hill. They watched many romantic comedies. Styles always held a black notebook and looked like a college student who was studying, Rolling Stone reported.
His coming album is about rock music. In fact, he grew up with it. His father Desmond was a rock music fan. When Styles was very young, he danced to The Dark Side of the Moon, a classic song by British rock band Pink Floyd. “I couldn’t really get it. But I just remember (thinking that) this is really cool.”
Harry said, “At the very beginning, all I wanted was to be the granddad with the best stories.” Surely, now he is on the right track (軌道).
1.Why did Styles go solo?
A. He wanted to travel with his friends.
B. He was certain that he would succeed.
C. He wanted to be independent from the hand.
D. He wanted to do the things that he hadn’t done before.

It’s always been a rule in my family, spoken or unspoken, that you don’t waste food. With six children herself and having grown up in an even larger family through the Great Depression, my mother would never tolerate throwing out the amounts of food we see routinely these days in the dumpster. We were told simply to clean our plates, no matter whether we liked the taste or if we were not hungry or not. So this subject is deep in my genes and upbringing.
Estimates are that nearly one third of all food produced is wasted. USDA estimates 31% of food available at retail (零售)level is wasted. 12% of landfill material is food. 28% of agricultural land produces food which is wasted, says the FAO. 18% of vegetables, and 12% of the apple crop are lost at the farm level in the United States., say experts.
Luckily, there’s an “ugly food” movement picking up steam. “Ugly” foods are those that sellers and buyers often reject because of their appearance, like misshapen vegetables and bruised(擦傷的) fruits. Farmers dump them. Supermarkets and restaurants reject them. Now supermarkets and restaurants reject them. Consumers historically have avoided them. Now supermarkets feature the ugly. It’s fashionable. More artful terms are favored. A French supermarket chain is selling “inglorious” foods. The British chain ASDA uses “wonky(歪斜的)” (which to American ears might sound as bad as “ugly.”) Canada’s Loblaws uses “naturally imperfect.” Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, who has cast himself as a promoter of the “good food movement,” has signed on with some British chains to support their efforts.
With the effort of Kretschmann Farm CSA’s we’ve taken the line that rather than throw away things which would be classified by others as ugly, inglorious, or imperfect, we would just give them to you and you could decide. Either we throw them away, or you can. Oftentimes this adds to the volume of the box, or makes it a little more urgent to consume (because sometimes those rejected foods are just very ripe!).
1.When the author was a kid, he .
A. often suffered from hunger
B. was not allowed to waste food
C. had to wash plates after a meal
D. didn’t like the taste of his food
2.What does the underlined part “picking up steam” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Coming to an end.
B. Facing a challenge.
C. Making a selection.
D. Becoming more popular.
3.The Kretschmann Farm CSA .
A. provides perfect food for customers
B. sells food mot of which is very ripe
C. tries to bring ugly food to customers
D. encourage the consumption of food
