This month, the journal, Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism (APNM), published a study by four distinguished exercise scientists who analyzed more than 200 studies of how stretching affects the following exercise. In broad terms, they found that stretching can briefly prevent the ability to generate power. So if you reach for your toes and hold that position, tightening your hamstrings (腿筋), you might not then be able to leap as high or start a dash as forcefully as you don’t stretch.

Those undesirable effects were generally found, however, only if each stretch was held for more than 60 seconds and the subject then immediately became fully active, with no further warm-up. “Outside the lab, most people are unlikely to hold a warm-up stretch for longer than about 30 seconds.” Dr. McHugh, the co-author of the study says. The review found few lasting negative impacts from these short stretches, especially if the volunteers followed that stretching with several minutes of jogging or other basic warm-up movements. In fact, these short stretches turned out to have a positive effect.

Do these findings mean that all the athletes should stretch in advance before a match? “Not necessarily,” Dr. McHugh says, “Runners and cyclists don’t have much risk for acute muscle injuries.” Stretching before these activities is unlikely to protect against injury. Runners and cyclists can adequately warm up by jogging or pedaling lightly. But he suggests that people who play basketball and other ball sports should stretch in advance. Those who haven’t stretched since childhood gym class might want to consider consulting an athletic trainer about the best upper and lower body stretches, particularly for the shoulders and hamstrings.

【1】According to the new research, people may suffer negative impacts when _______.

A.they do stretches after attending a game

B.they reach for toes and hold that position

C.following a stretch with several minutes’ jogging

D.dashing immediately after one 60-second plus stretch

【2】We can learn from the passage that _______.

A.all athletes should not stretch in advance

B.the four scientists published the journal APNM

C.it’s unnecessary for a tennis player to do warm-up stretches

D.players ought to have done warm-up stretches since childhood

【3】What’s Dr. McHugh’s attitude toward stretches?

A.Concerned.B.Doubtful.

C.Disapproving.D.Objective.

—In my opinion, looking good is important, but , staying healthy is far more important.

A.after allB.in allC.at allD.above all

In our discussion of instincts(本能) we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit(继承) must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may be，however，that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics，they will probably make a success of that study.

As for musical ability，it may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear，a special structure of the hands or the vocal(发声的) organs connections between nerves and muscles. If these factors are all organized around music，the child may become a musician. The same factors，in other circumstance，might be organized about some other center of interest.

The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited，then nor even the love of it，but a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other fields may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.

【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph？

A.Mothers' prebirth training is totally unlikely to influence the character of unborn children.

B.A pregnant mother needn't have prebirth training because of no nervous connection with her child.

C.A mother can't help her child become a talented poet just by studying poems during pregnancy.

D.An emotional shock to the mother has little effect on her unborn child for their unconnected vessels.

【2】It can be concluded from the passage that a child may not inherit ________ from mother.

A.sensitive earsB.capable fingers

C.intelligenceD.a knowledge of maths

【3】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？

A.Role of InheritanceB.Role of the Environment

C.An Unborn ChildD.Inherited Talents

A.If he practiced; would pass

B.Had he practiced; would pass

C.Did he practiced; would have passed

D.Should he practice; would have passed

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)

This modern-art gallery in a Victorian house was founded in the 1950s by Tate Jim and reopened in February following a two-year redevelopment by Jamie Fobert Architects, the team behind the 2017 Tate Steves extension. This means a new cafe, a four-floor education wing and improved gallery space that can accommodate more visitors. The gallery’s permanent collection includes works by Joan Miró, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.
