【题目】 If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life, new research may come as a shock. According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.

Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers (幔跑者)and non - joggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a proper pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die. The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non - joggers. The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉). Over time, this can cause serious injuries.

Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said, “If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy(寿命)jogging a few times a week at a proper pace is a good strategy. Anything more is not just unnecessary, and it may be harmful. “

The implications (暗示 ) of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and walking may be better for us than “iron man events, triathlons and long - distance running and cycling. According to Jacob Louis Marott, another researcher involved in the study, “You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health. And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do too much”.

A.regularB.hardC.practicalD.flexible

2The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to_______ .

A.suggest giving up joggingB.show risks of doing sports

3According to the scientists, why is too much exercise harmful?

A.It may injure the heart and arteries.B.It can make the body tired out.

C.It will bring much pressure.D.It consumes too much energy.

4What can be inferred from the text?

A.No exercise at all is the best choice.B.More exercise means a healthier life.

C.Marathons runners are least likely to die.D.Proper exercise contributes to good health.

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Many things — genetics, environment, the food you eat, illness, sleep, even the seasons — influence your emotional state. But at the heart of it is how you regard yourself. If you have a healthy level of self-esteem (自尊), you not only deal with life's challenges better than people with low self-esteem, but you're probably more content, confident, and successful. You're probably also healthier. Studies show that positive self-esteem actually helps prevent people against depression and anxiety.Most people's sense of worth is rooted in their childhood — in the early approval or disapproval of parents, teachers, and friends. But as we get older, most of us judge ourselves by our sense of how effectively we're managing in the world, especially in the areas of love and work. Our ability to love and be loved can give our lives a sense of purpose and deep fulfillment. We can also find satisfaction and pride in work-related accomplishments, and the people we meet and work with can strengthen our sense of self and our role in life.

Once midlife comes along, however, our self-esteem can take a turn in response to changes in our lives. Marriage may change, children may leave home, and we may begin to cut back on work as we approach retirement. Of course, the view in the mirror may not be what it used to be, either.

If you find your self-esteem eroding (变弱) a bit, there are plenty of ways to build it back up again.

Reframe your identity. Redefine what you base your sense of self-worth on. Instead of “sales manager”, “stock market analyst”, or “mom”, start thinking of yourself as “community organizer”, “literacy volunteer”, “great cook”, “gifted gardener”, and more.

Talk back to your inner critic. Become conscious of how hard you're being on yourself, and fight against a negative attitude with some positive self-talk.

Take time for yourself. Read the paper, keep a journal, go for a swim. This is especially important for women, who are often so busy nurturing others that they neglect their own needs and interests. (346 words)

【题目】 Some scientists were studying sea turtles in Costa Rica in Central America. Suddenly they found one turtle had something sticking out of its nose. It could not breathe. At first, the scientists thought it was a worm. But when they pulled the object out, it was a plastic straw(吸管).

After the scientists made sure the turtle was healthy, they helped it back into the water. They posted a video of the rescue on the Internet. When people saw it, they were shocked.

The video motivated Diana Lofflin to start StrawFree.org. The group is in California. Its goal is to make people aware of (意识到)the harm plastic straws cause to the environment. Lofflin hopes people will find alternatives(可选择的事物)to plastic straws.

Sipping from a straw is fun. But think twice. Giving up that plastic straw can help protect the environment. Saying no to a plastic straw is a way to make a difference in the world.

A movement to ban(禁止)plastic straws is growing. In California, it is illegal for food servers to give straws to customers who don’t ask for them. Seattle, Washington, has banned all plastic utensils(器具).

Plastic straws are put out for the taking in many restaurants. But some states no longer allow it.

Starbucks is banning plastic straws. The company says it will stop handing out plastic straws in all its stores by 2020. With 28,000 stores, that’s about 1 billion fewer straws a year. How will you sip your drink? The company has made a new lid for its cups, like those used by little kids. Unlike straws, the new lid can be recycled.

Nancy Wallace works for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in Washington, D.C. She says schools should reduce the amount of plastic they use. Kids must do their part, too. Plastic litter gets into rivers, lakes, and oceans. If fish and other animals eat it ,they will be killed. Wallace says : “We’re pinning our hopes on the next generation to help solve this problem.”

1Why did the scientists post a video of rescuing the turtle on the Internet?

A.To make a big difference all over the world.

B.To make the people shocked while seeing it.

C.To ban plastic straws in California and other states.

D.To arouse people’s awareness of environmental protection.

2What does the underlined word “motivated ” in Paragragh 3 refer to ?

A.Helped.B.Allowed.

C.Asked.D.Encouraged.

3What is the best title of the passage?

A.The new lid.B.Hopes on children.

C.The last StrawD.Actions on pollution.
