【题目】Yoga（瑜伽）is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. After a long time of practicing yoga, you no longer just practice it — you love it.

Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned（有弹性的）, and more flexible as you move from one pose to another. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. “Rather than building muscles, yoga builds muscle tone,”says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of KISS Guide to Yoga. “Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism（新陈代谢）, and it also helps to control weight.Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat around the cells disappear, thus losing weight.”

I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need an increase in energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative（恢复体力的）poses.

Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves（使消除）stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing on the tennis court, in the dentist’s chair, and when I’m stuck in traffic.

You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, but not tired. If you feel tired after yoga,it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the poses by letting go of the tension.

【1】According to the second paragraph, yoga can help people ___.

A. lose weight B. make friends

C. be flexible in thinking D. grow tall

【2】Why does a person feel tired after yoga?

A. Because when practicing yoga, people will consume a lot of energy.

B. Because he or she surrenders to the poses by letting go of the tension.

C. Because he o she doesn’t do yoga poses naturally.

D. Because yoga doesn’t benefit all the people.

【3】What would be the best title for this passage?

A. What’s yoga? B. The benefits of yoga.

C. How do I do yoga poses? D. The varieties of yoga.

【4】What will be talked about if this passage continues?

A. The disadvantages of yoga.

B. Yoga is becoming popular all over the world.

C. Encouraging people to do yoga.

D. Yoga is becoming part of your spiritual life.

【题目】Over the centuries, through genetic and cultural adaptation, humans and a wild bird species have learned to work together .When human honey-hunters make a certain noise, a bird called the honey guide does its job with unbelievable accuracy, leading people to hidden bees' nests.

Scientists put this ancient practice to the test. When biologists compared the honey guide call to other sounds, the traditional sound sent the honey guides to hidden bees nest three times more often than other sounds, according to a study in the journal Science. When you make the right noise, you end up with more honey compared to the wrong noise.

"It's an exchange of information for skills," said study lead author Claire Spottiswoode, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Cambridge.She failed to find bees nests until her friends made the right noise,and then was rewarded with honey that's very rich and delicious.

The honey guide has a special ability to find bees' nests. “Scientists aren't quite sure how it works, but it likely has to do with a sophisticated sense of smell,” Spottiswoode said. Still, there's a problem: These nests are stuck in trees that are difficult for the birds to reach. Even worse, the bees sting the birds, sometime to death.The people of the region, who make a living on the honey, have tools that can get at those nests and they use smoke to chase the bees away, reducing the stinging problem.

It's clear that the birds have adapted in an evolutionary way through natural selection, but for people the arrangement is probably more cultural.

【1】According to the study, when making the wrong noise, people probably will .

A. get more honey

B. find bees’ nests easily

C. have difficulty finding bees’ nests

D. earn more time

【2】What does the underlined word “sophisticated”in the fourth paragraph probably mean?

A. elementary B. Advanced.

C. Plain. D. Poor

【3】What can be learned from the text? ?

A. Scientists have found out how the honey guide works.

B. Honey guides can easily get bees' nests in trees.

C. Honey-hunters are not afraid of stinging problem.

D. The bees are afraid of smoke.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A. The terrible relationship between humans and wild birds.

B. People in the mountains make a living on the honey.

C. The honey guide can help humans find bees’ nests

D. Human honey-hunters’ wonderful life.

【题目】If you've ever been to a social gathering, you might feel awkward and uncomfortable. While social gatherings can be very enjoyable, especially when you are surrounded by people whose company you enjoy, there are social events that you sometimes find yourself wishing you were someplace else. Such occasions can sometimes be the cause of much anxiety and self-consciousness. You may even feel like everyone else is having a good time except for you. Yet the truth is that everyone has felt shy and awkward on occasion. One of the best ways to overcome self-consciousness or get past your feelings of shyness at social gatherings is to focus on the people around you. If you can remember that other people might also be feeling awkward or shy, you might find the thought of speaking to them less overwhelming.

The next time there is a social event you feel nervous about attending, you may want to try this exercise: Spend some time with your eyes closed and breathe deeply. When you feel ready, create your own zone of comfort by visualizing yourself surrounded in a warm white light that is protective yet accepting of others. Imagine people at the event being drawn to you because of the open and warm feelings that you are showing. When you arrive at the event, take a moment to spread this same light of loving acceptance to everyone around you.

Smile and greet people warmly. Try going up to someone who is standing alone and introduce yourself. When you show acceptance and openness, people can't help but respond to you in kind.

Focusing on how we can make other people at a social gathering feel at ease can help us forget about our own insecurities. The next time you attend a social gathering, invite people to join you in your zone of comfort that you have so lovingly and intentionally created. Let yourself enjoy being encircled in the warmth of their friendships.
