Laziness is a sin, everyone knows that.We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons than simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of ridicule or fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be paralyzed by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies (幻想)may prevent work; some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals or fantastic achievements that they are unable to deal with whatever"lesser" work is on hand. Still other people are not avoiding work;strictly speaking, they are merely procrastinating--rescheduling their day.
Laziness can actually be helpful. Like procrastinators (拖延者), some people may look lazy when they are really thinking,planning, contemplating (沉思), researching. We should all remember that great scientific discoveries occurred by chance. Newton wasn´t working in the orchard when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. All of us would like to have someone "lazy" were caused by the worker´s taking time to check each step of his work and to do his job right. And sometimes, being lazy that is, taking time off for a rest is good for the overworked students or executive.
Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the athlete who is trying too hard or the doctor who´s simply working himself overtime too many evenings at the clinic. So be careful when you are tempted to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking, resting, and planning his or her next book.

81、根据以下材料，回答{TSE}题
Every day 25 million U.S. children fideschool buses. The safety record for these buses is much better than for passenger cars; but nevertheless, about 10 children are killed each year riding on large school buses, and nearly four times that number arc killed outside buses in the loading zones. By and large, however, the nation´s school children are transported to and from school safety.
Even though the number of school bus casualties (伤亡事故) is not large, the safety of children is always of intense public concern. While everyone wants to see children transported safely, people are divided about what needs to be done particularly whether seat belts should be mandatory (强制).
Proponents of seat belts on school buses--many of them parents and medical organizations argue that seat belts arc necessary not only to reduce fatality and injury, but also to teach children lessons about the importance of using them routinely in any moving vehicle. A side benefit, they point out, is those seats belts help keep children in their seats, away from the bus driver.
Opponents of seat belt installation suggest that children are already well protected by the school buses that adhere to the Nation Highway Traffic Safety Administrations (NHTSA) safety requirements set in 1977. They also believe that many children won´t wear seat belts anyway and that may damage the belts or use them as weapons to hurt other children.
A new Research Council report on school bus safety suggests that there are alternate safety devices and procedures that maybe more effective and less expensive. For example, the study committee suggested that raising seat backs four inches may have the same safety effectiveness as seat belts.
The report sponsored by the Department of Transportation at the request of Congress, reviews seat belts extensively while taking a broader look at safety in and around school buses.
{TS} Each year, children killed outside buses in the loading zones, are about ______.
A、10
B、40

83、According to the passage, who has the greatest degree of control of the school buses "safety"?
A、A new Research Council.
B、The Department of Transportation.
C、The Medical Organization.
D、National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
84、It may be inferred from this passage that ______.
A、many of the opponents (反对者) of seat belt installation are parents and officials of the Department of Transportation
B、proposals of seat belts on school buses would be seriously considered
C、an alternate safety device raising seat backs four inches may be taken into consideration
D、The Department of Transportation may either take the idea of seat belts or other measures when it reviews the whole situation
85、The title below which best expresses the idea of the passage is______.
A、Making School Buses Even Safer for Children

D、Safety in and around School Buses
86、根据以下材料，回答{TSE}题
I had always known that the Chinese New Year was different from our own but otherwise assumed that the way we Europeans divided up the year was something in common. Quite recently, though, I found out that there used to be some pretty dramatic differences. During the Middle Ages, the official start of the year varied enormously within Europe. In Spain,Portugal, Switzerland and Germany it began on Christmas Day, whereas it started on the 1st March in Venice and the 21st in England. In Rome, it was at one time the 25th January but then changed to the 25th March. In Russia the new year coincided with the spring equinox (春分).
If this isn´t complicated enough the French used to start their official year from Easter day. Easter, as I am sure you all know, is a moveable feast whose complicated calculation is quite a mystery tome. However, this French style of working out the beginning of the year led to some years being as short as three hundred days while others could stretch to four hundred with two spring times with one at each end!
With all these different dating systems in operation you can imagine the enormous potential for confusion. This can create headaches for students engaged in studying the period from original documents as they can actually find somebody´s death being recorded months before they are married and battles still being fought weeks after a peace agreement had been signed! It would all depend on where the events had been recorded. As an actual example the student could easily get muddled (糊涂的) over the date of the famous trial of the Knights Templar in Paris. According to records this long and complex trial ended in 1313 as the New Year didn´t officially start until the 7th April. Fortunately for all of us these differences were eventually solved. In December 1564 the French decided to start the New Year from the 1 st January. The Russians adopted this new style of dating in 1725 and the English a further twenty-seven years later.
{TS} The writer______.
A、had always known about the dating systems
B、knew Europeans varied in their dating systems

88、What was a feature of the French official year?

D、It often had two summers.
89、Why do students sometimes get confused?
A、Documents are inaccurate.
B、Trials used to be long and complicated.
C、Events appear illogical.
D、Because the New Year started on April7th.
90、The system for the new year starting on January 1st ______
A、was immediately adopted by the English
B、was adopted by the Russians a century,before the French
C、was accepted by the French
D、was adopted by the English in 1750
