Learn to Think

"I will think of it. " It is easy to say this. 1       We cannot see our thoughts,or hear,or taste,or feel them;and yet what mighty power they have!

Sir Isaac Newton was seated in his garden on a summer's evening,when he saw an apple fall from a tree. 2       Later,he discovered how the earth,the sun,the moon,and the stars were kept in their places.

3       He began to think;he wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the heavy lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking. When he became a man,he improved the steam engine so much that it could,with the greatest ease,do the work of many horses. 4      

A man named Galileo was once standing in the cathedral of Pisa,when he saw a chandelier (枝形吊灯) swaying to and fro. This set him thinking,and it led to the invention of the pendulum (钟摆) .

我们不能看到、听到、品味,或感觉到我们的思想,然而,思想具有强大的力量。我们遇到问题时一定要善于思考。

1. A考査转折关系。本文先通过引用人们常常说的话"我会想想的"来引起话题,接着用一个问句来引起读者的思考:"但是你知道思考曾引发哪些创举吗?"并回答:"我们不能看到、听到、品味,或感觉到我们的思想,然而,它们有强大的力量!"这样环环相扣,引入中心议题。关键词"thinking"反复出现,选项A符合文意。

2. F考查顺承关系。本段以牛顿观察苹果落地并引发思考的故事告诉读者一个简单的道理:思考来源于细微的观察。后句"后来,他发现了地球、太阳、月亮及其他恒星处于其运行轨道的秘密"是上一句的结果,故F项"他开始思考苹果掉落的原因"符合逻辑顺序。

3. C考查顺承关系。本段讲的是詹姆斯.瓦特由观察水壶冒热气引发思考的故事,信息词"watching the lid of the tea kettle"在本段和选项中都能找到,符合行文逻辑。

4. E本句总结升华。这里是对本段的归纳和总结:"当你看到汽船、蒸汽火车,请记住,如果当初没有那个善于思考的人,这些东西可能永远不会存在。"

5. B本句总结升华。本段是对全文的总结和回归。

B项"遇到事情应思考,思考才能实现某一目标"符合本文大意。

You hear a juicy story from a friend,who heard it from another friend,who heard it from a person in the hall,who read it on a note passed in math class,1       was written by somebody who probably just made it up.

Chances are,rumors and gossip are always floating around your school or community. That's totally normal. After all,everyone gossips,2       parents,celebrities,and politicians. It's part of how we communicate and stay 3       ( connect) with other people's lives. But what is the difference between a rumor and gossip?

A rumor is a piece of information or a story that has not been verified,meaning that the person 4       (tell) it doesn't know if it's true or false. It might be true,it might be partially true and partially made up,or it might be totally made up.

Gossip,on the other hand,is a little different. Gossip is talk that is somehow "juicy", meaning it deals 5        subjects that are 6       (shock) or personal. Gossip is usually about things like love and 7       (relation) ,or private things that people don't talk 8       (open) about. When a piece of gossip is known to be false,it's a lie,plain and simple. If a piece of gossip about somebody is true,it can still be very hurtful because that information may be private and personal.

Sometimes,rumors and gossip are 9         (harm) ,but at other times they can be very hurtful to individuals,friendships,and whole groups of people. Did you know that10        (spread) rumors and gossip about someone is a form of bullying?

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow,orange or red? If you do,you must be an optimist,a leader,an active person who enjoys life,people and excitement. 1       Then you are probably quiet,shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green,you are strongminded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us,and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference,and the effect that colors have on human beings. 2       If you happen to love brown,you did so as soon as you opened your eyes,or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

3       A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one,and a red dress reminds us of warmth. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. 4      ,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.

We all know that we have to eat to live,so it is important for us to develop healthy eating habits. The following tips may help you.

Have a healthy attitude towards food. Take a hard look at your eating habits. 1       Do you withhold food from yourself in order to feel like you are in control? Carefully think about whether you have an unhealthy emotional attachment to food.

Drink plenty of water. 2       Drink water during and after meals to aid digestion,and try to drink 2 to 3  litters per day.

3       Ideally,you should eat three meals a day,with two snacks in between. Doing this allows you to eat slightly less at your meals,giving your body a more manageable amount of food to digest.

Don't skip breakfast. 4       Research shows that people who skip breakfast are usually fatter than those who eat a wellbalanced breakfast.

Eat slowly. Have you ever gorged on (猛吃) a huge meal and felt fine immediately after,but suddenly felt like exploding 15 minutes later? This happens because it takes some time for your stomach to tell your brain it's full. 5       In that way,by the time you get the message and start feeling satisfied,you haven't eaten too much extra food.

   B. Eat five times per day.

    Looking for a simple way to bum more calories while walking? Researchers found that walking at varying speeds can bum up to 20 percent more calories. It is one of the first to measure the calories burned at various walking speeds. “Most of the existing literature has been on constant-speed walking. This study is a bi^ missing piece,” said Manoj Srinivasan,co-author of the study. “Measuring the calories burned while changing speeds is very important — people don’t live their lives on (跑步机) and do not walk at constant speeds."

    The researchers found that up to thirty percent of the energy we use during normal daily walking could be due to the energy needed to start and stop walking. Walking at any speed costs some energy,bilt when you* re changing the speed, ?ou will get the biggest effect. Changing the kinetic (运动的) energy of a person requires more work from the legs and that process certainly bums more energy.

    The study also confirmed the researchers’ prediction that people walk slower when covering shorter distances and increase their paces as distance increases. This finding could have some effects in the field of health,where the speed measured within a certain distance is used as a sign of a patient's progress. “What we’ve shown is that the distance over which you make them walk matters,” said Srinivasan. You’11 get different walking speeds for different distances.”

    For more tips on how to bum more calories when walking,Srinivasan offers some simple advice: walk in a way that feels unnatural. “How do you walk in a manner that bums more energy? Just do weird things. Walk with a backpack,walk with weights on your legs or walk in a curve as opposed to a straight line,” he said.

9. Why does research on walking and changing speeds matter?

   A. It can save lots of energy.

   B. It's good for the environment.  

    C. It can help build up our bodies.

   D. It's close to the way people walk in everyday life.

10. The second paragraph serves as .

   A. an explanation for the study

   B. the background of the study

11. When patients change the speed of walking,.

   A. they are in poor health

   B. they are likely to recover 

    C. they have weight problems 

    D.they may need more walking practice 

12. What does the underlined word “weird” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
