Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air.
However,a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run.In fact,researchers say,running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance.
Many people say running in the winter can be difficult.Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds.Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather.
That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body.When you run in cold weather,your heart rate and the body’s dehydration (脱水)levels are lower than in warmer conditions.The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.
This information comes from sports scientists at St.Mary’s University in London.John Brewer is a professor of applied sport science at St.Mary’s.
For this study,he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber”. The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room.The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions.Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners.
“We’ve got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber.We’ve changed the conditions to replicate the summer or winter and we’ve got them to run a 10km under both of those conditions and taken various measurements on each runner while they’ve been completing their 10km.”
Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat.He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating.The body loses heat through droplets of sweat.He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin.
28.What can we know about running in winter
A.It increases pressure of the body.
B.It improves the function of body.
C.It makes your heart rate higher.
D.It needs more water than in summer.
29.What can we know about the research according to the text
A.Researchers interviewed the subjects.
B.Subjects were asked to run in winter and summer.
C.Subjects built the “environmental chamber”.
D.Biological measurements of the runners were recorded.
30.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “replicate” in Paragraph 7
A.Combine.
B.Remember.
C.Copy.
D.Decorate.
31.What’s the best title for the passage
A.Environmental Chamber
B.The Way of Losing Heat
C.Running in Cold Weather Improves Performance
D.Biological Measurements of the Runners

Another wonderful book coming soon to your favourite bookstore is Kate Lied’s Potato: A Tale from the Great Depression.At first glance,this book looks to be for the very young.Indeed,it can be,with its emphasis(重点)on short sentences and many pictures.But older kids and adults will reward themselves by reading this book as well,to learn more about the Great Depression and about economics,history,and even American culture in more depth.
The story is of a young girl named Dorothy,whose family lives in Iowa during the 1930s.Dorothy’s father loses one job after another;they lose their house;and,in desperation,they travel to Idaho to pick potatoes.
The author and illustrator(插画师)(Lisa Campbell Ernst)do a good job of conveying the desperation and discouraging and frightening tasks facing America’s families during the Depression.Hunger and want were plentiful,money and jobs were not.Inflation(通货膨胀)was out of control,and so was despair.But rather than give up,Dorothy’s family took action,traveling to Idaho to pick potatoes.Now,this might not sound like a smart thing to do;but at that time,Idaho had plenty of potatoes.The family worked very hard,day and night,and picked enough potatoes to fill the car for the trip home,where they traded those potatoes for other kinds of food and even a pig.This shows a basic economics concept: barter(物物交换).Potatoes were traded for other kinds of food instead of money.
The author also intends for readers of this book to learn more about the Great Depression.Dorothy’s family was very lucky,having enough money to pay for the trip to Idaho and back.In the end,Dorothy’s father found work and moved the family out of the poor Midwest.But a great many other Depression-era families were not so lucky.Many people died of hunger and thirst,and many more were poor beyond belief.Yes,we can be happy that Dorothy and her family have a happy ending that they can be thankful for;and yes,we can be sure that they were counting their blessings or lucky stars.But we can also be aware of the greater overall picture of the history of America at this time,realizing that it was a difficult time for just about everyone involved,in one way or another.
Overall,this is a good book that delivers more than it would appear to promise on first glance.
32.What’s the passage mainly about
A.It introduces a new book.
B.It describes the Great Depression.
C.It introduces a young girl named Dorothy.
D.It describes American economics,history,and culture.
33.What was the purpose of Dorothy’s family travelling to Idaho
A.To look for jobs in Idaho.
B.To pick potatoes to trade for food.
C.To plant potatoes to change their situation.
D.To buy potatoes and sell them to make money.
34.What may be the reason why Dorothy’s family used barter in trade
A.Too many potatoes in Idaho.
B.The desperation Dorothy’s family faced.
C.Serious inflation and no enough money.
D.The long-existing trading habit in America.
35.Why does the writer say Dorothy’s family was very lucky in the 4th paragraph
A.Dorothy’s father found work in Midwest.
B.God blessed the family and they survived.
C.The family could afford the trip to Idaho and back.
D.The family learned more about the Great Depression.

George’s mother was very poor and was sick.Instead of having bright fires in winter,she had nothing to burn but dry sticks,which George picked up from under the trees.
One fine day in July,his sick mother sent him to the woods.He was to stay there all day,to get as much wood as he could collect.
It was a bright,sunny day,and George worked very hard,so by the time the sun was high,he was hot,and wished for a cool place where he might rest and have his meal.While he hunted for a spot on the bank he saw among the grass some fine,wild strawberries.
“How good these will be with my bread and butter!” thought George.Lining his cap with leaves,he set to work eagerly to gather all he could find,and then seated himself by the river.
It was a pleasant place,and George felt happy and contented.He thought how much his sick mother would like to see him there,and to be there herself,instead of in her dark room in the village.
George thought of all this,and just as he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth,he said to himself,“How much Mum would like these!” So he stopped,and put the strawberry back again.
“Shall I save them for her ” he said,thinking how much they would refresh her,yet still looking at them with a longing eye.
“I will eat half,and take the other half to her,” he said at last,and he divided them into two heaps(堆).But each heap looked so small that he put them together again.
“I will only taste one,” he thought.As he again lifted it to his mouth,he saw that he had taken the finest and he put it back.“I will keep them all for her,” he said with great happiness,and he covered them up nicely to take them home.
Paragraph 1:
He stood up and started to get more and more wood until the sun was beginning to sink.
Paragraph 2:
Just as he had thrown down his wood,he heard his mother calling him from the next room.

Dear Jeff,
I am writing to reply to your email regarding the Chinese idiom story competition you are going to participate in.It would be my great pleasure to help you prepare for the contest.
I would like to offer some suggestions before we meet.Firstly,as there are a great number of idioms to choose from,I recommend the most commonly used ones that come from interesting stories.Additionally,many idioms found roots in ancient myths or historical facts.Thus,I advise fully researching their meanings and origins to gain an instructive and fascinating insight into the cultural history of China.In this way,your storytelling will be highly impressive and appealing.
I hope the suggestions above can be of some help to you.Could you please tell me when and where you would like to meet I look forward to further discussion with you.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 2:
Just as he had thrown down his wood,he heard his mother calling him from the next room.“Is that you,George I am glad you have come,for I am thirsty and I’m longing for some tea.Could you get some for me ” George ran to her and joyfully offered her all the wild strawberries.Seeing the wild strawberries,George’s mother was very glad,tears running down her face.She said,“My boy,you didn’t taste one of the strawberries and saved all for your sick mother.God will bless you for all this,my child.” At that moment,George and his mother were both filled with happiness.
