26、   A young man applied for a job as a farmhand. When the farmer asked for his qualifications(资历), he said, “I can sleep when the wind blows.” This puzzled the farmer. But he liked the young man, and hired him.

A few days later, the farmer and his wife were awakened in the night by a violent storm. They quickly began to check things to see if all was safe from damage. They found that the doors of the farmhouse had been safely fastened, and a lot of wood had been set next to the fireplace.

The young man slept soundly.

The farmer and his wife then looked at their property (财产) carefully. They found that the farm tools had been placed in the storage room, safe from the bad weather. The tractor had been moved into the garage. The barn was properly locked. Even the animals were calm. All was well.

The farmer then understood the meaning of the young man’s words, “ I can sleep when the wind blows.”

The farmhand did his work loyally. When the sky was clear, he had prepared for the storm in case it broke. So when the wind blew, there was no need for him to be afraid. He could sleep in peace.

【1】The underlined word “fastened” in Para. 2 can be replaced by ______.

A. closed B. damaged

C. taken D. moved

【2】From the passage, we can learn that ______.

A. at first the farmer understood his words well

B. the young man was awakened in the night by a violent storm

C. the young man had prepared for the storm before it came

D. the young man was too sleepy to wake up in the night

【3】The best title for this passage is ______.

D. No man can do two things at a time

27、Running and walking are both excellent forms of exercise. Those who regularly do either usually have healthier hearts, stronger bones and lower body weights than those who do little exercise. But does it matter whether you spend time walking or running? Arguments can be made for both, and which is right for you depends on your goals and your present fitness level.

“The key difference between running and walking is how many calories you are burning—not per mile, but per minute of exercise says Paul D. Thompson, a doctor at Hartford Hospital.” “Running is a more-efficient (高效的) movement and it’s more demanding on the body, so it bums more calories per minute,” Thompson says. “But if you’ve got the time to walk long enough to bum the same amount of calories, then walking is fine.” That said, if your final goal is to lose weight, chances are that neither running nor walking alone is going to do the trick. Research has shown that it needs to be done along with calorie control.

In a recent study that analyzed data from nearly 50,000 people, researchers found that runners’ risk of heart disease was 4.5 percent lower than that of those who were inactive. But walkers who burned the same amount of calories daily had a risk level that was 9 percent lower than those who were inactive.

“Running gets the reputation (名声) for causing injuries because many people who are just starting to run try to do too much too quickly,” says Carol Ewing Garber, a professor at Columbia University. “And they often get injured as a result. If you want to progress from walking to running, do it slowly, gradually increasing your speed, distance and the frequency of your rums.

Running may be more highly-intense (高强度的) and calorie-burning than walking, but walking is a great way to ease into exercise and make sure you are staying physically active every day. The bottom line is that getting exercise of any kind is beneficial—if you keep doing it.

“The best exercise is the one you are going to do,” Thompson says. “There are extra benefits to be gained from running, but what’s most important from a public health point of view is that everyone gets out and does some kind of exercise?”

【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

A．Exercise on its own is not enough to lose weight.

B．Walking is better than running for busy people.

C．Running can reduce people’s fat quickly and safely.

D．Walking is more demanding on the body.

【2】What can we learn from the recent study?

A．Running bums fewer calories than walking.

B．Walkers are more likely to get heart disease than runners.

C．Walking can reduce the risk of having heart disease.

D．Inactive people are free from heart problems.

【3】Which of the following would Thompson most probably agree with?

A．We’d better walk slowly.

B．Just walk before you run.

C．We’d better choose to run.

D．Any exercise is better than none.

28、Family Activities in Hawaii

Kids get bored easily, but they won't be in Hawaii. To help you and your kids plan for that perfect Hawaiian vacation, here are some of activities you can enjoy at Hawaii's main islands:

Kauai

To start off, keep your kids busy by letting them explore Hawaii's art, culture, history, and unique geography hands-on at the Kauai Children's Discovery museum. Exciting activities your kids will enjoy at this museum include star observing, creating artworks and rock climbing.

Oahu

Oahu is another island that offers plenty of activities the whole family will enjoy. If you want to pet a dolphin or sea lion, you can go to the Sea Life Park.

Molokai

Enjoy Molokai's laid-back atmosphere by visiting the Molokai Horse & Wagon Ride. The horse and wagon ride usually starts at the mango grove.

Big Island

Aside from the beaches, Hawaii is especially known for its volcanoes. And if you go to the Big Island, you can let your family experience several of these volcanoes by visiting the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

The Safe (保险箱)

----- A Rich Man Finds the Best Way to be Truly Rich

Once upon a time, a rich man hired a great mathematician (数学家) to find him a way to make him more money. The rich man was so g【1】 that he even built a giant safe and his dream was to fill it with gold and jewels.

The mathematician worked on the problem for months. One night he said to the rich man “I’ve done it! My idea is perfect! You’ll be wealthy b【2】 your wildest dreams.” The rich man was d【3】 to hear this. Before he left on a long journey, he promised the mathematician double pay to run his business for him.

When the rich man returned, he found that all of his wealth was gone. Very angry, he asked the mathematician to explain. The mathematician told him he’d g【4】 everything away to people in the neighborhood.

The mathematician said “There is a limit to how much wealth one can get by himself. Then I realized that many people could help us a【5】 our goal. By helping o【6】, you could gain the most!”

Disappointed, the rich man went away. As he was walking, every neighbor he met was so thankful to him that they o【7】 him anything he needed.

Over the next few weeks, the man saw the mathematician’s idea really w【8】. He was received with great honor w【9】 he went. Everyone did all they could to help him.

He no longer dreamed of keeping his wealth in a safe. I 【10】 he shared it with hundreds of friends. He was now truly rich.

32、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要.

Speed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age. We read articles, e-mails and We Chat quickly, trying to understand key words and the most important meaning of a certain text. Faced with so much information from our smart phones, it would be impossible to deal if we read word by word, line by line. However, more and more people enjoy reading slowly.

There is a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smart phones. They sink into comfortable chairs and read in silence for an hour. Unlike other book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isn’t exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from smart phones and read in a quiet, relaxing environment. Actually, the Wellington book club is just one example of slow-reading book clubs.

Nowadays, technology has made us unable to focus on reading. “Screens have changed our reading patterns from the straight and information left-to-right order to a wild skimming(略读) and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Reading a text with links leads to weaker understanding than reading an ordinary text,” says Patrick Kingsley from a newspaper. However, slow reading is good for readers in many ways. It sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize (共鸣).Another study last year showed that reading novels slowly helps people understand others’ mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationships.

Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly, a slow reader. “You can put in half an hour pretty easily during your free moments. You pick up a meaningful book rather than start your computer to look for your favorite site for something to pass the time,” Kelly said.
