三、阅读理解
I've often wondered if I might do better as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist.It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.
My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that.The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland.I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs.
The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible.It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldn't leave the tiny hut.To stay warm, we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut.We tried to call for help but the radio did not work.Day after day,we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short.We got acute cabin fever (幽居病)and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside.Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pick up.By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope.
From then on, the world looks different to me,as does my life.It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.
Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time.In fact, it appears that the most constructive life changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways.

3.From Paragraph 3, we learn that the travelers ________.
A.were in despair before they were rescued
B.stayed in the hut for three days altogether
C.got sick because of going skiing outside
D.got rescued immediately the weather turned fine

Why Exercise Is Cool
Exercise Strengthens Muscles
Did you ever do a push-up or a swing across the monkey bars on the playground 1 By using your muscles to do powerful things, you can make them stronger. For older teens and adults, this kind of workout can make muscles bigger, too.
2_________
Can you touch your toes easily without yelling ouch Most kids are pretty flexible, which means that they can bend and stretch their bodies freely without much trouble. Being flexible is having “full range of motion, ” which means you can move your arms and legs freely without feeling tightness or pain.
Exercise Keeps the Balance
3 Your body needs a certain amount of calories every day just to function, breathe, walk around, and do all the basic stuff. 4 But if you’re not very active, your body won’t need as many calories. Whatever your calorie need is, if you eat enough to meet that need, your body weight will stay about the same. If you eat more calories than your body needs, it may be stored as extra fat.
Exercise Makes You Feel Good
It feels good to have a strong, flexible body that can do all the activities you enjoy—like running, jumping, and playing with your friends. It’s also fun to be good at something, like scoring a basket, hitting a home run, or perfecting a dive. But you may not know that exercising can actually put you in a better mood. 5 It’s just another reason why exercise is cool!
A. Exercise Makes You Free
B. Exercise Makes You Flexible
C. Those are exercises that can build strength.
D. If you exercise every day, your body will become better and better.
E. If you’re active, your body needs an extra measure of calories or energy.
F. Food gives your body fuel in the form of calories, which are a kind of energy.
G. When you exercise, your brain releases a chemical, which may make you feel happier.
