26、When you set out on a run, your main goal is probably to beat your personal best. But when simply telling yourself to “run faster” isn’t enough, how do you actually improve your stamina (耐力) and increase your running distance?【1】

Goals motivate you and give you a concrete number to reach for. You can set a goal which involves running a certain distance in a specific length of time. 【2】 Alternatively, you could set yourself a goal involving increasing the number of steps you take in a minute, or your cadence (节奏). The fastest runners in the world have an average cadence of around 180 steps per minute.

Keep your heart rate up during a run to improve your running speed. 【3】 Plug in your information, like a running distance and how long it takes you to run that distance, then mark down the pace that you can comfortably run for 30 minutes. Run at your maxi- mum pace for at least 30 minutes to keep your heart rate up the entire time.

【4】Interval (间歇) running has been shown to increase both speed and stamina in athletes. To do an interval run, run at a medium pace for 1 minute, then jog for 2 minutes. Repeat this cycle 4 times, then cool down at a walking pace for 5 to 10 minutes. By switching back and forth between running and jogging, you’ll not only increase your average running speed, but you’ll increase the distance you can run, too.

Use hills to gradually build speed over time. Either find a hill outdoors somewhere, or use a running machine with an incline setting. 【5】 Over time, your stamina will increase, leading to faster run times. Hill runs are actually better for your body too, as they help you to achieve high abilities while limiting the joint shock caused by knocking on flat surfaces.

A．For example, your goal could be to run 1 mile in 8 minutes.

B．Before you set out on your run, always warm up for 5 to 10 minutes.

C．To figure out your ideal running speed, use a running pace calculator.

D．Try different running paces to increase stamina and running distance.

E．Here we can train and continue increasing our running speed over time.

F．Run up and down the same hill going as fast as you can for as long as you can.

G．Do something light that increases your heart rate, like jogging, jumping jacks, or running in place.

27、America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while - then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families.

Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality easily.

Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans are that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.

For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

【1】The writer of this passage must be __________.

A．an American

B．a Chinese

C．a professor

D．a student

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.

B．Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.

C．Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.

D．Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.

【3】The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ____________ .

A．strict with time

B．serious with time

C．careful with time

D．willing to spend time

【4】Which of the following is most probably the suitable title for this passage ?

A．Friendship between Chinese

B．Friendship between Americans

C．Americans’ hospitality

D．Friendship between Chinese and Americans

28、   The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them everyday. A few days ago,my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is, great talent is not enough.

l am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $ 100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase," They are one skill a way from great wealth.”

There is an old saying that goes, "Job means 'just over broke'". And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers "live within their means" They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.

When I ask the classes I teach, "How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's? " almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask,“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald's makes more money than you?”The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

【1】What can we know about the mechanic from paragraph 1?

A.He is a talented person. B.He is always amazing.

C.He has a good sense of hearing. D.He is good at making money.

【2】What does the underlined part "live within their means" in paragraph 3 mean?

A.Live in their own circle.

B.Do in their own way.

C.Live within what they earn.

D.Spend more than they can afford.

【3】What makes talented people earn little in the author 's opinion?

A.Lacking financial intelligence.

B.Not working hard enough.

C.Not making full use of their talents.

D.Having no specialized skills.

【4】What does the text mainly want to tell us?

A.What schools should teach students.

B.Why so many talented people are poor.

C.How McDonald's makes much money.

D.How young people can find a satisfactory job.

29、Where in the classroom do you prefer to sit,and why? Scientists have discovered that seating preference not only shows students’ personalities,but has a great influence on their school performance.Generally speaking,students show different attitudes depending on where they sit.Based on the research,scientists have developed a funnel-like(像漏斗的) model of “learning zones(区域)” to see the relationship between seating and active learning.

In this model,the mouth of the funnel(A) is the best position for learning.Students in this front area prove to be the most active learners.They show a greater desire(渴求) for learning,which leads them to focus(集中注意力) better and take a more active part than the rest of the class.Those in the neck of the funnel(B) don’t pay the same close attention,but they ask a lot of questions,partly because of the added confidence they feel from being in a safe zone,with others around them.Less desirable is the area “outside the funnel(C,D),” which refers to the side and the back rows,where students take a less active part in classroom activities and find it hard to focus their attention,falling asleep at times.

Studies about learning zones suggest that a change in traditional seating plans can benefit students.In fact,a growing number of teachers have begun less traditional seating plans,such as “U-Type”.There are no side and back areas,so teachers can expect their students to take part in activities more actively and increase student-teacher interaction(互动).

【1】According to scientists, students’ learning is greatly influenced by________.

A．the number of students

B．the time of class

C．seating positions

D．the size of the classroom

【2】What advantage do the students sitting in Area B over those in Area C,D? 　　　.

A．sometimes fall asleep

B．feel safe and confident

C．seldom ask their teachers questions

D．try to avoid looking directly at the teacher

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to studies in the last paragraph?

A．An increasing number of teachers have started to use traditional seating plans.

B．Changing the traditional seating plans can be beneficial to students.

C．U-type is better than funnel-like model of “learning zones” .

D．If there are no side and back areas, students must be more active in learning.

【4】From which is the text probably taken?

A．An education magazine

B．An advertisement

C．A life newspaper

D．A science textbook

30、I live in San Luis Obispo, California, where the humpback whales come every year. Last November, I invited my friend Liz to _______ them in my kayak.

“No way,” _______ Liz. She was terrified that the kayak would _______ leaving us surrounded by hungry whales. “The boat is stable,” I _______ her, “and we can turn back anytime.” After some _______, she finally agreed to join me.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

A new analysis of the running habits of over a million people showed that exercise is contagious — though this depends on who's spreading it.

For the study, two scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used 【1】 tracker data to study the running habits of around 1.1 million people, who have around 3.4 million social network connections. Over five years, the 【2】 ran a collective 350 million kilometers, and their runs were posted online for their friends to see.

The researchers found an additional kilometer run by friends influences an individual to run an additional 0.3 kilometers. An additional kilometer per minute run by friends 【3】 a person to run an additional 0.3 kilometers per minute faster than usual. And if those friends run an extra 10 minutes, that person is likely to run about three minutes longer than they would have. The influencing effect is strongest on the same day 【4】 are posted and appears to diminish with time, the authors wrote.

The findings suggested that a runner's peers did influence him or her to run more, but not all users exerted 【5】 influence on their buddies. Individuals were more likely to be encouraged by less active peers than by more active ones.

"Social comparisons may provide an explanation for these results," the study's authors wrote. This theory, they added, "【6】 that we self-evaluate by comparing ourselves to others."

But do we make comparisons to peers performing better than us, or to those performing worse? That's been a subject of 【7】, the researchers said.

Comparisons to those ahead of us may 【8】 our own self-improvement, while comparisons to those behind us may create competitive behavior to protect one's superiority.

The findings show how effective 【9】 these real-time networks may be to help scientists design different methods to minimize the impact of social ills and maximize the 【10】 of social benefits.
