【题目】阅读理解
It's 5:00 in the morning when the alarm(闹钟)rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my "no thank you", or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it's okay to just say "no". I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self-confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
(1)Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning?

【题目】In 1938 Portugal held a national competition to identify the country's most 'Portuguese” Village. Sticking to a rocky promontory(海角)far above the Beira Baixa plains, Monsanto is easily the most impressive. So it came out on top.

Cottages, a lot of which are made of very large round rocks, seem to grow out of the mountain itself. Above them rises a stone fortress(城堡), parts of which predate even the arrival of the Moors. And views across the plains are, simply put, astonishing.

Since being honored as the most Portuguese village, Monsanto has reminded largely separated from modernization. These days, goats and chickens seem to outnumber humans in the village. Most young people leave for large cities and the growing investment in the area’s heritage (遗产)has not encouraged more attractions for the younger generation. Tourists walking along the village's tiny streets can see elderly women walking and chatting in doorways.

Several houses near the village entrance are surprisingly grand. Halfway to the castle you'll come across the gruta, a cozy cave apparently once used as a pub …and still used as such. This stone fortress seems almost to have grown out of the hillside that supports it. It’s a wonderfully beautiful site, populated by wildflowers.

Alter Dom Sancho I drove out the Moors in the 12th century, the fortress was strengthened. Dom Dinis improved it, but after centuries of attacks from across the border it finally fell into ruin. Just below the entrance is a public square. To the right is a ruined Renaissance church and bell tower.

On 3 May Monsanto comes alive in the Festa das Cruzes, remembering a siege(围困)in the Middle Ages. The story goes that the starving villagers threw their Iasi lonely cow over the walls, making their enemies believe they had plenty of food, because they immediately abandoned the siege. These days, young girls throw baskets of flowers instead, after which there's dancing and singing beside the castle wall.

1What is Monsanto like today?

A. It has a lot of farms. B. Its youth love farming.

C. Its population is falling. D. It has become more modern.

2Why did the enemies end the siege?

A. They felt hungry. B. They were tricked.

C. They were attacked. D. They feared the cow.

3What do we know about the fortress?

A. It has long been used as a pub.

B. It was first constructed by Dom Dinis.

C. There is celebration every May beside it.

D. You have to go through it to enter the village.

4What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

A. To discuss rural life in Portugal.

B. To report a national competition.

C. To explain the history of the Portugal.

D. To introduce a unique ancient village.
