四、七选五阅读理解
Distance runners often worry about “hitting the wall” during training or races,when negative thoughts become so overpowering that they make it difficult to continue. 1 At that time,the body’s glycogen (糖原) supplies become exhausted.As a result,many runners feel exhausted and discouraged,slow their pace,have trouble focusing and want to quit or walk. 2 Here are a few sports psychologist-approved techniques to try,which could have major benefits for an athlete’s performance and well-being.
·Make a motivational song list.Distracting yourself with some great tunes can help you make it to the finish line faster. 3
·Try the partner system.A running partner can keep you motivated and on-track,and might even improve your performance,research shows.
· 4 A study on weight-lifters found that mental practices can be as effective as physical practice,resulting in actual muscle increases.Visualising your if-then plan,for instance,could improve your chance of success.
·Try “attention narrowing”. 5 Last year,an NYU study found that focusing on an object on the horizon makes the distance feel shorter,and leads runners to go faster and perform better than those who let their minds wander.
With these helpful strategies,your next personal record might be just around the corner.
A.Plan what to do.
B.Visualise achieving your goal.
C.Finding ways to move past those kinds of experiences is very vital.
D.“Hitting the wall” typically happens around 20 miles into a marathon.
E.Runners who focus their eyes on an object in the distance get there faster.
F.There is evidence that saying motivational things to oneself benefits a lot.
G.Studies show athletes run,bike and swim farther and faster when listening to music.

In an online class,developing healthy patterns of communication with professors is very important. 1 While I have only listed two of each,there are obviously many other situations that can arise.Students should be able to extend the logic(逻辑) of each to their particular circumstance.
Do’s
2 Questions about subject content are generally welcomed.Before asking questions about the course design,read the syllabus(教学大纲)and learning management system information to be sure the answer isn’t hiding in plain sight.
Participate in discussion forums(论坛) and other open-ended forums for dialogue. 3 Be sure to stay on topic and not offer irrelevant information.Make a point,and make it safe for others to do the same.
Don’ts
Don’t share personal information or stories.Professors are not trained nurses,financial aid experts or your best friends.If you are in need of a deadline extension,simply explain the situation to the professor. 4
Don’t openly express annoyance at a professor or class. 5 When a student attacks a professor on the social media,the language used actually says more about the student.If there is truly a concern about a professor’s professionalism or ability,be sure to use online course evaluations to calmly offer your comments.
A.That’s what they are for.
B.Turn to an online instructor for help.
C.If more information is needed,they will ask.
D.Remember that online professors get a lot of emails.
E.Below are some common do’s and don’ts for online learners.
