A
When Hai started college, he weighed over 250 pounds. Healthy food choices were difficult for him, and he was quite upset and worried. However, when he left home for college, he was able for the first time to start taking his life and weight into his own hands.
He started by shopping at a local farmers' market, an experience that inspired him deeply. The idea that a farmers' market represents (代表) local, sustainable, healthy food was extremely appealing to him, and he began to think about the food that people were eating at his university. From what he saw at the farmers' market, Hai realized that the food in the dining hall was not "real" food. A lot of it was frozen or processed food, and had unhealthy additives. His ideas continued to develop as he started taking classes about food sustainability(持续性) at university. After the summer of 2014 during which he cooperated with other students, he launched the Real Food Challenge(RFC) campaign, a project co-founded by him that aimed to reinvest university spending in food that is Mrealn : ecologically sound, community-based, humane, and fair, as opposed to those traditional purchases(购买物) with those unhealthy additives and processed products.
Not only has Hai started a movement of change across the university dining system, but he has also grown as an individual now with strong leadership abilities and great vision. In addition, since he started learning about food sustainability and taking action at university, Hai has lost over 100 pounds, and has been able to start enjoying activities such as backpacking and swimming that were not a possibility for him previously. He is confident instead of sad now.

US researchers have released (发布)a new study showing that keeping a straight back can help you get ahead of the competition in the office or at a job interview.
Professor Adam Galinsky who led the study claimed the research could be vital to people seeking jobs in a tough market. "With 1.9 million new jobs this year, our research suggests that your postures may be quite the way to let you run ahead of other applicants in a job interview. Standing straight is going to make you perform probably better in the interview because you'll say things with more confidence. It will also allow a person to think and act more powerfully," said Galinsky.
In the paper Powerful Postures Versus Powerful Roles,Mr. Galinsky described positions that help us feel more in charge as M expansive postures'1 that open up the body and take up more space. They include sitting with legs slightly apart or with an arm over the back of a chair. As they are not always appropriate for an interview, Mr. Galinsky suggests sitting upright, expanding your chest and holding your arms in a relaxed and comfortable position.
The experiment studied a group of 77 students who were asked questions while sitting with different positions. Some were told they were bosses and others played underlings. The people who sat with an expansive posture answered questions in a way that suggested they were more powerful. In comparison, the answers from those who sat hunched(缩头弓身的) appeared to suggest they had lower self-esteem. What surprised the researchers was that the results were irrelevant(不相干的) to whether the participant held a higher rank. Those who sat in expansive postures chose to lead more often than those who sat hunched.
1.What's the second paragraph mainly about
A.The methods of finding a job. B.The importance of the research.
C.The advantages of standing straight. D.The present situation of the job market.
2.The experiment suggests that ________.
A.postures are more likely to have an influence on behavior than the title or rank
B.the research results are within the expectation of Mr. Galinsky
C.people with expansive postures have lower self-esteem
D.people who sat hunched are more powerful
3.What's the main purpose of the passage
A.To advise people to pay attention to their postures.
B.To introduce the content of Mr. Galinsky's paper.
C.To discuss the relations between postures and roles.
D.To provide information on "expansive postures".
4.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph
A.Leaders. B.Colleagues. C.Friends. D.Assistants.
C
Amy Cuddy, a Harvard psychologist, has devoted her studies to the influence body language has on your confidence..., and finally, success. Her biggest findings center on the powerful effects of positive body language. Positive body language includes things like proper eye contact, active listening, and gestures that show the message you're trying to express. Studies show that people who use positive body language are more likable(讨人喜欢的), persuasive, and emotionally intelligent. Here's how it works:
Positive body language changes your attitude. Cuddy found that consciously(有意识地) changing your body language to make it more positive improves your attitude because it has a powerful influence on your body.
It makes you more likable. In a Tufts University study, people watched soundless videos of doctors interacting with their patients. Just by observing the doctors' body language, people were able to guess which doctors ended up getting complained by their patients. Body language plays a big role in how you're viewed and can be more important than your voice or even what you say. Learning to use positive body language will make people like you and trust you more.
It improves your emotional intelligence. Your ability to effectively communicate your emotions and ideas is central to your emotional intelligence. People whose body language is negative have a destructive effect on those around them. Working to improve your body language has a great effect on your emotional intelligence.
We often think of body language as the result of our attitude or how we feel. This is true, but psychologists have also shown that the opposite is true: changing your body language changes your attitude.

1.What is Cuddy's biggest finding

B.Positive body language makes people become smarter.

D.People's emotions greatly affect their body language.
2.Why does developing positive body language improve one's attitude
A.It affects one s body greatly.
B.It decides how one is viewed.
C.It makes one more reliable.
D.It makes one more emotionally intelligent.

A.playing B.communicating C.fighting D.arguing
4.What can be inferred from the passage
A.Emotional improvement totally depends on body language,
B.The author thinks it useless to change one s body language.

A large male emperor penguin waddles(蹒跚行走) slowly across the ice to the water. He dives deep into the cold salt water and then springs back onto the ice. Nearby a female penguin sleeps as her baby rests on the top of her feet. The penguins are enjoying another beautiful day of sunshine and freezing temperatures in the Penguin Encounter, a special home built for them in sunny California.
The Penguin Encounter is located at SeaWorld in San Diego. It was built to help study the emperor penguin, the largest of all penguins. The emperor penguins' natural home is in the Antarctic, near the South Pole. Increases in Earth's temperatures could cause large amounts of ice to break up. Scientists feared that this drastic (剧烈的) change in the environment could destroy the emperor penguins' nesting areas. This would cause the number of emperor penguins to greatly decrease. A new home for them seemed to be the perfect solution.
Scientists wanted to make the Penguin Encounter a comfortable home for the black-and-white feathered birds. A team of scientists was sent to the Antarctic to learn more about the emperor penguins. Scientist Frank Todd led the team. Todd is an expert on penguins. He has spent more than 25 years studying them.
Getting close to the emperor penguins in the Antarctic wasn't difficult for the group of scientists. Sometimes they would waddle close to Todd and his team. The scientists concluded that this behavior could be the result of poor eyesight. Penguins are nearsighted, which allows them to see better in the water than on land. Another possible reason for their behavior was that they had little to fear on the ice. Their enemies, such as leopard seals and killer whales, hunt mainly in the water.
Todd and his team spent many months studying the diet and social habits of the emperor penguins. It was easy to get close to the penguins, but it wasn't easy to study them.
In the Antarctic, the temperature rarely rises above zero degree, which is perfect for penguins, but not for scientists. Once Todd and his team had finally gathered enough information, they made plans for a new home in California for a number of emperor penguins. Scientists hoped to study the birds in conditions that were more scientist-friendly. When the "new Antarctic" was completed, Todd and his team brought several hundred emperor penguins to California from the Antarctic.
1.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in the first paragraph
A.Moves. B.Jumps. C.Holds. D.Flies.
2.Why did scientists need to study penguins in the Antarctic before building the Penguin Encounter
A.They were afraid that the emperor penguins, homes would be destroyed.
B.They wanted the Penguin Encounter just to be like the emperor penguins' natural home.
C.They wanted to see how the emperor penguins reacted to the rising temperatures.
D.They knew it would take long to gather enough emperor penguins for the Penguin Encounter.
3.Why do emperor penguins have little to fear on the ice
A.It is easy to see their enemies on the white ice.
B.Their enemies usually hunt in the water.
C.They can easily escape on the smooth ice.
D.It is too cold for other animals to survive on the ice.
4.The passage mainly emphasizes ________.
A.scientists working as a team in the Antarctic
B.a science team finding a way to stop global warming
C.how to protect the emperor penguins at SeaWorld
D.scientists building a special home to learn more about the emperor penguins

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I stood with my friends in a line. My heart was hammering like anything, my hands cold and wet, my head buzzing with excitement and nervousness at the same time. I earnestly listened to the names of the house captains(社长) being announced, but in my heart, I wanted it to end because then the head girl would be announced. I so wanted it to be me.
I had made countless posters, badges and bracelets for the campaigning. Instead of having lunch during the lunch time, I had gone from person to person, asking them to vote for me. I had shouted at the top of my lungs the slogan, "East or West, Maryam is the best! Vote for her and your year will be best."
I had tried my hardest to convince people to vote for me, now all I had left was hope.
"Guess who the head girl for the year is " teased the announcer.
A heavy silence fell, one that was full of hope and expectation, of fear and of nervousness.
The announcer teased for a minute or two before finally announcing the name of the head girl.
I felt confused as my friends pushed me out of the line. As I looked at the huge crowd clapping for me, I could not believe that I was the head girl of the school. The head of the council body. The student that was respected and liked by everybody.
From then on, I enjoyed the respect I got in and out of school. At home, my family members praised me and at school everyone looked up to me. They thought I was an inspiration as well as someone they could get motivated by. I had power. I could talk to the school principal and convince her to do anything. I could order around other council members and ask them to do anything.
But as days passed, I realized that with power comes responsibility.

I was given countless responsibilities along with my studies. I had to check students' uniform, keep an alert mind for bullies, and maintain order when students queue up for meals. My energy and the excitement drained out of me as I realized that with a position comes burden. As a result, my marks dropped dramatically and I eventually broke down. One day, I found myself in the principal's office, telling her with deep sorrow that I could no longer be the head girl.
The principal listened attentively, her concern clearly written on her face. She put her hand on my shoulder and expressed her understanding. She suggested I turn to the former head girl and find some assistants. I was doubtful at first, but my doubts vanished as the suggestions proved very helpful. Now I felt I would be able to do this and at the same time ace at my studies. When you ask for power, you should be prepared to accept the responsibilities that come with it too.

When Hai started college, he weighed over 250 pounds. Healthy food choices were difficult for him, and he was quite upset and worried. However, when he left home for college, he was able for the first time to start taking his life and weight into his own hands.
He started by shopping at a local farmers' market, an experience that inspired him deeply. The idea that a farmers' market represents (代表) local, sustainable, healthy food was extremely appealing to him, and he began to think about the food that people were eating at his university. From what he saw at the farmers' market, Hai realized that the food in the dining hall was not "real" food. A lot of it was frozen or processed food, and had unhealthy additives. His ideas continued to develop as he started taking classes about food sustainability(持续性) at university. After the summer of 2014 during which he cooperated with other students, he launched the Real Food Challenge(RFC) campaign, a project co-founded by him that aimed to reinvest university spending in food that is Mrealn : ecologically sound, community-based, humane, and fair, as opposed to those traditional purchases(购买物) with those unhealthy additives and processed products.
Not only has Hai started a movement of change across the university dining system, but he has also grown as an individual now with strong leadership abilities and great vision. In addition, since he started learning about food sustainability and taking action at university, Hai has lost over 100 pounds, and has been able to start enjoying activities such as backpacking and swimming that were not a possibility for him previously. He is confident instead of sad now.

US researchers have released (发布)a new study showing that keeping a straight back can help you get ahead of the competition in the office or at a job interview.
Professor Adam Galinsky who led the study claimed the research could be vital to people seeking jobs in a tough market. "With 1.9 million new jobs this year, our research suggests that your postures may be quite the way to let you run ahead of other applicants in a job interview. Standing straight is going to make you perform probably better in the interview because you'll say things with more confidence. It will also allow a person to think and act more powerfully," said Galinsky.
In the paper Powerful Postures Versus Powerful Roles,Mr. Galinsky described positions that help us feel more in charge as M expansive postures'1 that open up the body and take up more space. They include sitting with legs slightly apart or with an arm over the back of a chair. As they are not always appropriate for an interview, Mr. Galinsky suggests sitting upright, expanding your chest and holding your arms in a relaxed and comfortable position.
The experiment studied a group of 77 students who were asked questions while sitting with different positions. Some were told they were bosses and others played underlings. The people who sat with an expansive posture answered questions in a way that suggested they were more powerful. In comparison, the answers from those who sat hunched(缩头弓身的) appeared to suggest they had lower self-esteem. What surprised the researchers was that the results were irrelevant(不相干的) to whether the participant held a higher rank. Those who sat in expansive postures chose to lead more often than those who sat hunched.
1.What's the second paragraph mainly about
A.The methods of finding a job. B.The importance of the research.
C.The advantages of standing straight. D.The present situation of the job market.
2.The experiment suggests that ________.
A.postures are more likely to have an influence on behavior than the title or rank
B.the research results are within the expectation of Mr. Galinsky
C.people with expansive postures have lower self-esteem
D.people who sat hunched are more powerful
3.What's the main purpose of the passage
A.To advise people to pay attention to their postures.
B.To introduce the content of Mr. Galinsky's paper.
C.To discuss the relations between postures and roles.
D.To provide information on "expansive postures".
4.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph

Amy Cuddy, a Harvard psychologist, has devoted her studies to the influence body language has on your confidence..., and finally, success. Her biggest findings center on the powerful effects of positive body language. Positive body language includes things like proper eye contact, active listening, and gestures that show the message you're trying to express. Studies show that people who use positive body language are more likable(讨人喜欢的), persuasive, and emotionally intelligent. Here's how it works:
Positive body language changes your attitude. Cuddy found that consciously(有意识地) changing your body language to make it more positive improves your attitude because it has a powerful influence on your body.
It makes you more likable. In a Tufts University study, people watched soundless videos of doctors interacting with their patients. Just by observing the doctors' body language, people were able to guess which doctors ended up getting complained by their patients. Body language plays a big role in how you're viewed and can be more important than your voice or even what you say. Learning to use positive body language will make people like you and trust you more.
It improves your emotional intelligence. Your ability to effectively communicate your emotions and ideas is central to your emotional intelligence. People whose body language is negative have a destructive effect on those around them. Working to improve your body language has a great effect on your emotional intelligence.
We often think of body language as the result of our attitude or how we feel. This is true, but psychologists have also shown that the opposite is true: changing your body language changes your attitude.

A large male emperor penguin waddles(蹒跚行走) slowly across the ice to the water. He dives deep into the cold salt water and then springs back onto the ice. Nearby a female penguin sleeps as her baby rests on the top of her feet. The penguins are enjoying another beautiful day of sunshine and freezing temperatures in the Penguin Encounter, a special home built for them in sunny California.
The Penguin Encounter is located at SeaWorld in San Diego. It was built to help study the emperor penguin, the largest of all penguins. The emperor penguins' natural home is in the Antarctic, near the South Pole. Increases in Earth's temperatures could cause large amounts of ice to break up. Scientists feared that this drastic (剧烈的) change in the environment could destroy the emperor penguins' nesting areas. This would cause the number of emperor penguins to greatly decrease. A new home for them seemed to be the perfect solution.
Scientists wanted to make the Penguin Encounter a comfortable home for the black-and-white feathered birds. A team of scientists was sent to the Antarctic to learn more about the emperor penguins. Scientist Frank Todd led the team. Todd is an expert on penguins. He has spent more than 25 years studying them.
Getting close to the emperor penguins in the Antarctic wasn't difficult for the group of scientists. Sometimes they would waddle close to Todd and his team. The scientists concluded that this behavior could be the result of poor eyesight. Penguins are nearsighted, which allows them to see better in the water than on land. Another possible reason for their behavior was that they had little to fear on the ice. Their enemies, such as leopard seals and killer whales, hunt mainly in the water.
Todd and his team spent many months studying the diet and social habits of the emperor penguins. It was easy to get close to the penguins, but it wasn't easy to study them.
In the Antarctic, the temperature rarely rises above zero degree, which is perfect for penguins, but not for scientists. Once Todd and his team had finally gathered enough information, they made plans for a new home in California for a number of emperor penguins. Scientists hoped to study the birds in conditions that were more scientist-friendly. When the "new Antarctic" was completed, Todd and his team brought several hundred emperor penguins to California from the Antarctic.
1.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in the first paragraph
A.Moves. B.Jumps. C.Holds. D.Flies.
2.Why did scientists need to study penguins in the Antarctic before building the Penguin Encounter
A.They were afraid that the emperor penguins, homes would be destroyed.
B.They wanted the Penguin Encounter just to be like the emperor penguins' natural home.
C.They wanted to see how the emperor penguins reacted to the rising temperatures.
D.They knew it would take long to gather enough emperor penguins for the Penguin Encounter.
3.Why do emperor penguins have little to fear on the ice
A.It is easy to see their enemies on the white ice.
B.Their enemies usually hunt in the water.
C.They can easily escape on the smooth ice.
D.It is too cold for other animals to survive on the ice.
4.The passage mainly emphasizes ________.
A.scientists working as a team in the Antarctic
B.a science team finding a way to stop global warming
C.how to protect the emperor penguins at SeaWorld
D.scientists building a special home to learn more about the emperor penguins

I stood with my friends in a line. My heart was hammering like anything, my hands cold and wet, my head buzzing with excitement and nervousness at the same time. I earnestly listened to the names of the house captains(社长) being announced, but in my heart, I wanted it to end because then the head girl would be announced. I so wanted it to be me.
I had made countless posters, badges and bracelets for the campaigning. Instead of having lunch during the lunch time, I had gone from person to person, asking them to vote for me. I had shouted at the top of my lungs the slogan, "East or West, Maryam is the best! Vote for her and your year will be best."
I had tried my hardest to convince people to vote for me, now all I had left was hope.
"Guess who the head girl for the year is " teased the announcer.
A heavy silence fell, one that was full of hope and expectation, of fear and of nervousness.
The announcer teased for a minute or two before finally announcing the name of the head girl.
I felt confused as my friends pushed me out of the line. As I looked at the huge crowd clapping for me, I could not believe that I was the head girl of the school. The head of the council body. The student that was respected and liked by everybody.
From then on, I enjoyed the respect I got in and out of school. At home, my family members praised me and at school everyone looked up to me. They thought I was an inspiration as well as someone they could get motivated by. I had power. I could talk to the school principal and convince her to do anything. I could order around other council members and ask them to do anything.
But as days passed, I realized that with power comes responsibility.

答案：
I was given countless responsibilities along with my studies. I had to check students' uniform, keep an alert mind for bullies, and maintain order when students queue up for meals. My energy and the excitement drained out of me as I realized that with a position comes burden. As a result, my marks dropped dramatically and I eventually broke down. One day, I found myself in the principal's office, telling her with deep sorrow that I could no longer be the head girl.
The principal listened attentively, her concern clearly written on her face. She put her hand on my shoulder and expressed her understanding. She suggested I turn to the former head girl and find some assistants. I was doubtful at first, but my doubts vanished as the suggestions proved very helpful. Now I felt I would be able to do this and at the same time ace at my studies. When you ask for power, you should be prepared to accept the responsibilities that come with it too.
