26、   'Do not tell anyone'. We often hear these words when someone tells us a secret. But keeping a secret is hard. We're often tempted(引诱) to 'spill the beans', even if we regret it later.

According to the professor, Asim Shah, keeping a secret may well 'become a burden'. This is because people often have an 'eager and anxious urge(冲动) to share it with someone'. An earlier study, led by Anita, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted(托付) with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.

Secrets are so often getting out, why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. 'Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone. ' according to Shah.

He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesn't mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.

Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you'd better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn't give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone's secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn't so secret anymore.

【1】What does the underlined phrase 'spill the bean' in Para 1 mean? ________.

A.tell the truth B.let out a secret

C.eat our words D.talk nothing

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A.A person entrusted with a secret will suffer from psychological problems only.

B.Sharing secrets helps establish friendship or get over the sense of guilt.

C.Quiet people are more likely to keep the secrets to themselves.

D.Putting yourself in others' shoes helps realize the difficulty of keeping secrets.

【3】What may be the best title for the passage?

A.Still tongues make wise heads. B.Walls have ears.

C.Every wall has a crack. D.A word spoken is past recalling.

27、Walking is seriously underestimated. Walking is so simple that nearly everyone can do it. 【1】, from supporting a healthy immune system to boosting your metabolism (新陈代谢) to strengthening your joints, muscles, and bones — not to mention it’s amazing for stress relief and enjoying a little ‘me time’. But one of walking’s biggest (and often forgotten) benefits is weight loss. 【2】

Ultimately, walking every day is one of the best ways to target belly fat. As you continue to walk, you may notice your pants begin to fit more loosely around your midsection, even if the number on the scale isn’t moving much. That’s because regular walking can help improve your body’s response to insulin (胰岛素), 【3】

Walking every day along with a healthy diet can result in weight loss.

However, don’t expect to lose weight if you’re only walking casually. The intensity at which you walk plays a key role in helping your body burn more calories and improve your cardiorespiratory system (心肺系统). 【4】 For example, if you live in a flat area, find some steps or hills to climb every now and then to ensure you’re body doesn’t get too used it.

【5】 In order to lose weight you need to reduce calories. Basically, to lose one pound a week, you’ll need to either burn around 3,500 calories each week, or eat 3,500 fewer calories. Better still, though, is that you can do a bit of both to achieve that goal.

A．Still, you need to be aware of what you’re eating.

B．It’s also a good idea to mix up the location of your walks.

C．when you burn calories through exercise.

D．which can help reduce belly fat.

E．Here’s what taking a walk every day really does for weight loss.

F．No matter what your age, you can lose weight by following this program.

G．Besides, it has extremely good benefits.

28、Teen Dating（青少年约会）can be fun if you are aware of its pros and cons(优缺点) and are also aware of the ways to protect yourself. There are a couple of suggestions you would like to know before you are out for dating.

Do not go out for dating with somebody whom you have seen only a few times and does not know much about him or her.

Before leaving on a date, know the exact plans for the evening and make sure a parent or friend knows these plans and what time to expect you home. Let your date know that you are expected to call or tell that person when you get in.

Similarly, if you leave a party with someone you do not know well, make sure you tell another person you are leaving and with whom. Ask a friend to call and make sure you arrive home safely.

No matter how good the person appears to you, trust your inner instincts (直感). If a situation makes you uncomfortable, try to stay calm and think of a way to remove yourself from the situation without letting your date realize what is going on in your mind.

Be aware of your decreased ability to react under the influence of alcohol or drugs and keep yourself in control when out for a date.

Always stay firm, straightforward and clear in your relationships, thoughts, decisions and judgments. Never let a doubt come to your mind or face when out for dating. If you are firm and clear in your communication, your date will always be careful in dealing with you.

29、   Paris is the city of dreams. If you plan to head to Paris for a study period, then perhaps a little reality check is in order. But my experience was a romantic one.

I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program. On arrival in Paris, I was constantly reminded of the official processes I had to complete-forms to be filled in, meetings to attend, the list seemed endless.

Then the real work began. Once classes were underway, I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first, rather than last. This method proved to be very helpful.

Once I had finished class for the week, I had an ever-increasing list of museums to visit, neighborhoods to explore, and cafes to sit in. Read books about Paris. Talk to locals and other foreigners living there. But the one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot. The people watching, the sounds of the city, the colors as the seasons change, they all add to the ecstasy that I experience in Paris as an exchange student.

After spending five months wandering through the charming neighborhoods, fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from every open door, and with every spoken word. There is something comforting about walking to the market each Sunday to en joy the beautiful display of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. There is warmth in saying “bonjour” (你好) to the passers-by.

On my last day in Paris, I confidently said, “Bon jour Monsieur,” as I passed the little store down the street, I guess the best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own way. And I know mine is unique and special to me, my own little pieces of Paris.

【1】What does the underlined word “ecstasy” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Courage. B.Imagination. C.Happiness. D.Reputation.

【2】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A.An exchange student’s life. B.Charming neighborhoods.

C.Ah exchange program. D.A traveling experience.

【3】Beyond reading books, which experience would the author treasure most?

A.Enjoying coffee in his spare time. B.Greeting people in French in the street.

C.Buying vegetables in the market. D.Hanging around in Paris.

【4】According to the passage, what left the author the deepest impression?

A.The friendly people he met in Paris.

B.The special culture he experienced in the city.

C.The academic achievement he made in his study.

D.The presentations and assignments he did in class.

30、After a tornado touched down in a small town nearby, all the local newspapers carried stories showing some of the families who suffered the hardest. A picture ________ touched me. A young woman stands in front of a totally destroyed home, a pained expression twisting (使扭曲) her face. A young boy, seven or eight years old, stands at her side, eyes downcast. A tiny girl stares into the camera, eyes wide with sadness and ________. This would be a good ________ to teach my children to ________ those less fortunate than us.

I put up the picture, explaining their ________ to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three-year-old Meghan. “We have so much, and these ________ people now have nothing,” I said. “We will ________ what we have with them.”

I sorted through our ________ and ________ the boys to go through their toys and ________ some of their less favorite things.

Brad and Brett ________ the toys they had chosen to donate into a box. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her much-loved doll hugged ________ to her chest. She ________ in front of the box that held the ________, gave Lucy a ________ kiss, and then laid her gently on the top of other toys. “Oh, honey,” I said. “You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.”

Meghan nodded seriously, eyes glistening (闪光) with held-back ________. “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll make that oilier little girl ________, too.”

I stared at Meghan for a long moment. I suddenly ________ that true generosity is ________ what you cherish (珍爱) most, I, who had wanted to teach, had been taught.

Without a word, the boys went to their rooms. They came back with their ________ toys and placed them in the box next to Lucy. Swallowing back tears, I pulled all three of them into my arms.

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

A recent UN report shows that many of us are working longer and harder than ever. In the past, employees worked eight or nine hours a day. Today, however, many companies expect their employees to work longer. In addition, the boundary between work and personal life has become less clear. If we are not working in the office, we might be working at home. We are required to be on call whenever our company needs us. In short, we are all working and having less time with family and friends.

This over-emphasis (过分强调) on work can lead to serious problems in our personal lives. The more time we spend at work, the less time there is available for maintaining relationships with our friends and family. Many of us spend so much time on the job that we hardly ever get to see our partners or children. When we do get home, we are often tired and lack the energy to spend time doing what we really enjoy.

There are, however, a number of ways in which we can regain control of our lives and correct the work-life balance. First of all, workers, especially those employed in offices, have to realize that work is rarely finished. In other words, taking work home does not usually decrease the amount of work. As one task finishes, another one appears. This means that, unless there is a strict deadline, work should stay at work.

Another way to regain a work-life balance is to plan your free time. Most of us spend a lot of time planning our working week. Few of us put the same effort into organizing our leisure time. However, if we don’t have a plan, there is a danger that we will miss out on the things that we really enjoy doing. So, if you like going to the cinema, make sure that you go regularly. Write it in your diary. If you enjoy having friends visit, plan a time and write that in your diary too. It’s all too easy to let your precious time slip away.
