26、Simone Biles was expected to lead the United States women’s gymnastics team to an Olympic gold medal in Tokyo, Japan. But not long into the competition on July 27, Biles withdrew(退出) from the team event.
Biles told reporters that stress had taken its toll. She was not injured, she said. But “once I came out here, I felt that the mental element is not there. So I just need to let my teammates do it and focus on myself.”
Biles isn’t the first athlete to speak out about the pressure of competitive sports. In May, tennis star Naomi Osaka withdrew from the French Open. She was concerned about her mental health. Swimmer Michael Phelps has long spoken about his struggles. “We’re human beings,” he says. “It is okay not to be okay.”
Athletes are usually taught to focus on winning. They work through pain and injury. But now, sports stars are pushing back against that thinking. They say winning should not take priority(优先) over their health. “It’s okay sometimes to even sit out the big competitions to focus on yourself,” Biles said. “It shows how strong of a competitor and person that you really are.”
Jill Emanuele, a director at the Child Mind Institute, says star athletes are setting a positive example. “The message now is that being tough means paying attention to yourself and making sure you’re okay,” she says. In sports, mind and body must work together, or that could lead to injuries. It’s why Biles did not continue in the team event.
Emanuele advises young athletes to “talk to people when you have trouble.” That’s what Biles did. And with the support of her team, she was able to return to competition. She finished the Olympic Games with a bronze medal in the women’s balance-beam final.
【1】Why did Biles withdraw from the team competition?
A.She was not qualified.
B.She suffered great pressure.
C.She was seriously injured.
D.She lost interest in the competition.
【2】What might athletes be generally taught to believe?
A.Being tough is a must.
B.Winning comes before one’s health.
C.Sitting out big competitions is okay.
D.Focusing on oneself is the most important.
【3】According to Jill Emanuele, which can be a positive example of athletes?
A.One who always focuses on winning.
B.One winning many big competitions.
C.One who is mentally and physically fit.
D.One never getting injured in competitions.
【4】What does Jill Emanuele advise young athletes to do?
A.Turn to others for help.
B.Try to avoid the trouble.
C.Practice even harder.
D.Have more confidence.

28、Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so many more.
There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas where they live.
When you are on a bicycle, you have the advantage of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode(方式) of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.
There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike(双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.

29、For many people, the ideal way to do homework involves listening to music. But some parents disagree, saying: “Switch off the music and concentrate!”
Well, if that’s the case with your parents, you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side.
A new study, conducted by British company Mindlab International, has found that listening to music at work increases accuracy(准确性) and speed, the Telegraph reported.
The company gave 26 participants a series of different tasks for five days in a row, including spell checking, equation (方程式) solving, and mathematical word problems. The participants completed these tasks while listening to one of four music genres (类型), or no music at all. The results showed that while music was playing, 88 percent of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81 percent completed their fastest work.
“The message is that music is a very powerful management tool to increase not only the efficiency of workforce but also your emotional state.” said David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International.
However, not all genres match all homework. For mathematics, or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail, you should listen to classical music, the study found. Previous studies had said that listening to Mozart makes a person smarter, and now that conclusion has gained more support. And if you need to finish a paper very soon, say, in an hour, the study said that listening to some pop music might be helpful.
In the study, pop music enabled participants to complete their tasks 58 percent faster than when listening to no music at all. If you’re reviewing your English writing, pop music is also the best choice, as it is the best genre for spell checking. It cut mistakes by 14 percent, compared to listening to no music.
And to check your homework, you should probably listen to some dance music, as this genre resulted in the highest overall accuracy and fastest performance across a range of tasks in the study. In other words, it fits all subjects.
【1】According to David Lewis, listening to music while working ______.
A. improves efficiency and mental state B. increases people’s creativity
C. makes people more emotional D. distracts people’s attention
【2】Which of the following helps you review English words faster and more correctly, according to the article?
A. Listening to Mozart. B. Listening to pop music.
C. Listening to rock music. D. Not listening to music.
【3】The author describes the study by Mindlab International mainly by ______.
A. giving examples using research data B. describing how it was conducted
C. comparing its results with previous studies D. indicating its significance on people’s daily lives
【4】The best title of the article might be ______.
A. Classical music makes you smart B. Listening to music shall be allowed
C. Study about music D. Listening to music helps with homework
