There are times when I set off for my running-group sessions with little enthusiasm. It might be because I'm tired, or stressed, or have had to unwillingly tear myself away from something else. I'm the coach, so I can't choose to give it a miss.
It was yet another cold, dark, wet evening and I wasn't feeling the love as I gathered all the necessary outfits—head torch, reflective waterproof jacket, hat and gloves. No one in their right mind will come out in this weather, I thought. But when I turned into the car park, my headlights picked out runners making a dash through the rain to our meeting point, where others were already working out to stay warm, with chat, laughter and hugs. They, too, I realized, might be tired, stressed or busy. But, unlike me, they had a choice about whether to come running or stay at home. And that makes their decision to come——and to keep on coming—all the more uplifting. As on so many other occasions, I went home from the run feeling better than when I'd arrived.
I believe one of the strongest motivations behind these runners' decisions to come along is being part of a group. Belonging to a running community makes running greater than the sum of its parts. It's no longer just a workout; it's a catch-up with friends, a laugh and a shared experience. It provides a space to share your running triumphs and disappointments, to be congratulated and comforted, and, just as important, to congratulate and comfort others.
Research has long shown the likelihood of staying motivated is higher when exercise takes place in a group. The reasons are many. A study at the University of Southern California found people enjoy physical activity more when they are with others and are more likely to keep it up over the long term. There's also an element of social facilitation—an "I'm not going to let XX beat me" attitude that drives you to push harder and produces a greater sense of achievement. And research by Strava in 2017 found running in a group made runners go faster and further. Using data from 90 million runs taking place all over the world, Strava found that the average pace of runs taking place in a group was seven seconds per mile quicker than solo runs, and the distance covered was an average of 1.3 miles further.
I joke about people being more motivated to come to my running sessions by the tea and biscuits afterwards than by the running itself. There's probably some truth in that, but it doesn't matter. Those laughter- and chatter-filled minutes are every bit as important as the running in between.
24. The author sometimes feels __________to go coaching the running group.
A. reluctant B. content C. excited D. frustrated
25. Why is being part of a group most motivational
A. It involves a coach offering assistance.
B. It frees runners from boring daily routines.
C. It inspires members to beat their records.
D. It creates space to socialize with others.
26. That being in a group promotes performance is proven by________ .
A. citing a typical example B. performing an experiment
C. listing accurate statistics D. sharing his own experiences
27. Tea and biscuits in running sessions are meant to_______ .
A. attract more runners from other groups
B. build up some strength before running
C. make his running group stand out of all
D. add more life to their running experience
C
Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know
exactly here she's been during her worldwide vacation in a special way.
The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated(截肢)at the age of four. Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.
To spread that message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe, but instead of simply using a geo-tag, she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.
Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam, relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking in the spectacular Parthenon temple in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.
“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk-board, "Gallagher said. "My mum and grand-mother weren’t too keen on the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”
Gallagher said people often stare when she’s writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos she receives only positive feedback."My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I've wanted to do, " she said. "I don’t know if it's my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but regardless, I've been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.”
Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.
28. What message did Gallagher want to spread in her special way
A. She enjoys her travelling across the globe
B. She suffers little from her legs amputation
C. She looks on her misfortune as another form of blessing
D. She has exactly fallen in love with posting photos online
29. Gallagher can best be described as_______
A. helpful and ambitious B. friendly and generous
C. determined and creative D. independent and sensible
30. What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. The Continent B. The pictures C. The leg D. The locations
31. Which of the following might be the best title for the text
A. Never Too Late to Share B. A Special Artificial Leg
C. An Outstanding Photographer D. Gallagher’s Summer Holiday
D
Peter Skyllberg, a Swedish man, was trapped in his car for two months, with temperatures reaching -30℃, with no food or water, and yet he survived. The best explanation was that his vehicle created an “igloo (snow house) effect” and protected him from the extremely low temperatures and that his body would hibernate(冬眠) during this time.
Can humans get into a low-energy consumption state like a bear by reserving energy, and reducing body temperature Chinese scientists are looking for the key to regulating body temperature.
Scientists have found the hypothalamus (下丘脑), an area in the central lower part of the brain, is responsible for regulating body temperature. Wang Hong, a brain scientist at the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led her team to mark the neurons (神经元) responsible for regulating body temperature in mice by means of a cutting-edge genetic biology technique. In the experiments, they injected (注射) drug into mice to make the body temperatures of the mice drop from 37℃ to 27℃ in two hours. The team found the change in body temperature caused no harm to the health of the mice. “We don’t know if we can develop a drug that can control human body temperature. We still need a lot of study.” Wang said.
Chinese scientists are not alone in such research. Body-cooling techniques are being used in pioneering hospitals around the world. Dutch doctors are now using low temperatures for patients who have suffered brain injuries in accidents. According to doctors working in Florence, it may even help to save the brains of babies who are born suffering from severe epileptic fits (癫痫病发作).
32. Why does the author mention Peter Skyllberg
A. To tell an amazing story. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To teach survival skills. D. To explain “igloo effect”.
33. What did Wang Hong’s team find in the experiment
A. Genetic biology technique helped a lot.
B. A drug could control human body temperature.
C. The mice’s health wasn’t damaged by the change of body temperature.
D. Hypothalamus was responsible for regulating body temperature.
34. How can body-cooling techniques help people
A. Brain injuries may be treated properly
B. People trapped in snow can survive.
C. Patients with epileptic fits will be cured.
D. Medical accidents can be avoided.
35. The text is probably taken from ________.
A. a biology textbook B. a science fiction
C. a survival brochure D. a medical magazine

Are you a Prisoner of Perfection
Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach 36 Are you setting yourself up for failure and shame when you can’t achieve the unachievable Understanding what drives perfectionism is the first step toward releasing this self-created anchor that keeps us stuck.
Shame and fear are often the hidden drivers of perfectionism. We believe that if we can fashion a perfectly polished personality, flash our intelligence, and perfect our humor, then no one can hurt us with criticism and we’ll win respect and approval.
37 Politicians who display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledge mistakes or uncertainty are often driven by a secret shame. They fear that showing vulnerability(弱点) will expose them to the accusation that they’re weak. They stick to a desire to be right, perfect and polished, even when it’s obvious that the emperor has no clothes.
Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future. We’re constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better. 38 However, if we can’t relax and enjoy lighter moments, then we become prisoners of our perfectionism. We get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too seriously. Sadly, we deprive(剥夺) ourselves of the simple pleasure of everything the moment and being ourselves.
39 We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean that we are a failure. Without failures, we’ll never learn from our mistakes; we’ll never move forward in our lives. Those who succeed have made countless mistakes. The important thing is to learn from our error, forgive ourselves and move on.
Being human, perfection is impossible. 40 Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image, we’re free to sail gracefully through our successes and failures—and enjoy our precious life.
A. Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize
B. A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings.
C. Do you fear that others will be horrified by what you judge about yourself
D. The addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect.
E. There is nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting along the way.
F. People who are addicted to perfection are often isolated, even if they seem outgoing and popular.
G. By accepting ourselves as we are and doing our best, we begin to rid the shame that drives perfectionism.

British newspaper The Guardian featured Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem and Jin Yong’s A Hero Born in its report on this trend, 62 (say) that both “sold strongly” in 2018.

There are times when I set off for my running-group sessions with little enthusiasm. It might be because I'm tired, or stressed, or have had to unwillingly tear myself away from something else. I'm the coach, so I can't choose to give it a miss.
It was yet another cold, dark, wet evening and I wasn't feeling the love as I gathered all the necessary outfits—head torch, reflective waterproof jacket, hat and gloves. No one in their right mind will come out in this weather, I thought. But when I turned into the car park, my headlights picked out runners making a dash through the rain to our meeting point, where others were already working out to stay warm, with chat, laughter and hugs. They, too, I realized, might be tired, stressed or busy. But, unlike me, they had a choice about whether to come running or stay at home. And that makes their decision to come——and to keep on coming—all the more uplifting. As on so many other occasions, I went home from the run feeling better than when I'd arrived.
I believe one of the strongest motivations behind these runners' decisions to come along is being part of a group. Belonging to a running community makes running greater than the sum of its parts. It's no longer just a workout; it's a catch-up with friends, a laugh and a shared experience. It provides a space to share your running triumphs and disappointments, to be congratulated and comforted, and, just as important, to congratulate and comfort others.
Research has long shown the likelihood of staying motivated is higher when exercise takes place in a group. The reasons are many. A study at the University of Southern California found people enjoy physical activity more when they are with others and are more likely to keep it up over the long term. There's also an element of social facilitation—an "I'm not going to let XX beat me" attitude that drives you to push harder and produces a greater sense of achievement. And research by Strava in 2017 found running in a group made runners go faster and further. Using data from 90 million runs taking place all over the world, Strava found that the average pace of runs taking place in a group was seven seconds per mile quicker than solo runs, and the distance covered was an average of 1.3 miles further.
I joke about people being more motivated to come to my running sessions by the tea and biscuits afterwards than by the running itself. There's probably some truth in that, but it doesn't matter. Those laughter- and chatter-filled minutes are every bit as important as the running in between.

Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know
exactly here she's been during her worldwide vacation in a special way.
The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated(截肢)at the age of four. Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.
To spread that message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe, but instead of simply using a geo-tag, she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.
Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam, relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking in the spectacular Parthenon temple in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.
“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk-board, "Gallagher said. "My mum and grand-mother weren’t too keen on the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”
Gallagher said people often stare when she’s writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos she receives only positive feedback."My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I've wanted to do, " she said. "I don’t know if it's my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but regardless, I've been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.”
Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.
28. What message did Gallagher want to spread in her special way
A. She enjoys her travelling across the globe
B. She suffers little from her legs amputation
C. She looks on her misfortune as another form of blessing
D. She has exactly fallen in love with posting photos online
29. Gallagher can best be described as_______
A. helpful and ambitious B. friendly and generous
C. determined and creative D. independent and sensible
30. What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. The Continent B. The pictures C. The leg D. The locations
31. Which of the following might be the best title for the text
A. Never Too Late to Share B. A Special Artificial Leg
C. An Outstanding Photographer D. Gallagher’s Summer Holiday

Peter Skyllberg, a Swedish man, was trapped in his car for two months, with temperatures reaching -30℃, with no food or water, and yet he survived. The best explanation was that his vehicle created an “igloo (snow house) effect” and protected him from the extremely low temperatures and that his body would hibernate(冬眠) during this time.
Can humans get into a low-energy consumption state like a bear by reserving energy, and reducing body temperature Chinese scientists are looking for the key to regulating body temperature.
Scientists have found the hypothalamus (下丘脑), an area in the central lower part of the brain, is responsible for regulating body temperature. Wang Hong, a brain scientist at the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led her team to mark the neurons (神经元) responsible for regulating body temperature in mice by means of a cutting-edge genetic biology technique. In the experiments, they injected (注射) drug into mice to make the body temperatures of the mice drop from 37℃ to 27℃ in two hours. The team found the change in body temperature caused no harm to the health of the mice. “We don’t know if we can develop a drug that can control human body temperature. We still need a lot of study.” Wang said.
Chinese scientists are not alone in such research. Body-cooling techniques are being used in pioneering hospitals around the world. Dutch doctors are now using low temperatures for patients who have suffered brain injuries in accidents. According to doctors working in Florence, it may even help to save the brains of babies who are born suffering from severe epileptic fits (癫痫病发作).
32. Why does the author mention Peter Skyllberg
A. To tell an amazing story. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To teach survival skills. D. To explain “igloo effect”.
33. What did Wang Hong’s team find in the experiment
A. Genetic biology technique helped a lot.
B. A drug could control human body temperature.
C. The mice’s health wasn’t damaged by the change of body temperature.
D. Hypothalamus was responsible for regulating body temperature.
34. How can body-cooling techniques help people
A. Brain injuries may be treated properly
B. People trapped in snow can survive.
C. Patients with epileptic fits will be cured.
D. Medical accidents can be avoided.
35. The text is probably taken from ________.
A. a biology textbook B. a science fiction
C. a survival brochure D. a medical magazine

Are you a Prisoner of Perfection
Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach 36 Are you setting yourself up for failure and shame when you can’t achieve the unachievable Understanding what drives perfectionism is the first step toward releasing this self-created anchor that keeps us stuck.
Shame and fear are often the hidden drivers of perfectionism. We believe that if we can fashion a perfectly polished personality, flash our intelligence, and perfect our humor, then no one can hurt us with criticism and we’ll win respect and approval.
37 Politicians who display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledge mistakes or uncertainty are often driven by a secret shame. They fear that showing vulnerability(弱点) will expose them to the accusation that they’re weak. They stick to a desire to be right, perfect and polished, even when it’s obvious that the emperor has no clothes.
Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future. We’re constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better. 38 However, if we can’t relax and enjoy lighter moments, then we become prisoners of our perfectionism. We get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too seriously. Sadly, we deprive(剥夺) ourselves of the simple pleasure of everything the moment and being ourselves.
39 We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean that we are a failure. Without failures, we’ll never learn from our mistakes; we’ll never move forward in our lives. Those who succeed have made countless mistakes. The important thing is to learn from our error, forgive ourselves and move on.
Being human, perfection is impossible. 40 Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image, we’re free to sail gracefully through our successes and failures—and enjoy our precious life.
A. Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize
B. A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings.
C. Do you fear that others will be horrified by what you judge about yourself
D. The addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect.
E. There is nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting along the way.
F. People who are addicted to perfection are often isolated, even if they seem outgoing and popular.
G. By accepting ourselves as we are and doing our best, we begin to rid the shame that drives perfectionism.

Translated fiction sales in the United Kingdom 61 (rise) 5.5% last year, with growing demand for Chinese titles, said Nielsen Book on Wednesday.
British newspaper The Guardian featured Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem and Jin Yong’s A Hero Born in its report on this trend, 62 (say) that both “sold strongly” in 2018.
The research, by the Man Booker International Prize, shows more than 2.6 million 63 (copy) of traditional titles 64 (sell) in 2018, at an estimated value of 20.7 million, the highest ever since Nielsen started the study in 2001.
Fiammetta Rocco, from Man Booker International Prize, said, “Reading fiction is one of the best ways we have of putting 65 (we)in other people’s shoes. The rise in sales of translated fiction shows 66 hungry so many British readers are for terrific writing from other countries.”
To Anna Holmwood, 67 news is a signal that “a new era has arrived,” Holmwood, who translated A Hero Born, told China Daily, “It’s a big moment
68 Chinese fiction abroad.”
Holmwood has worked as a literary agent and 69 (translate) for nine years, and has seen first-hand how Chinese titles continue to gain a greater audience worldwide, 70 (particular) in the English-speaking world.

This morning my American friends Jack and I went to the temple fair holding in our city. When we arrived at the park, we were amazed at that we saw. There were such many different performances and booths selling tradition handicrafts.
