【題目】The human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around. As we know,we're while we're eating; we sit in the car and we sit while we watch TV. And many of us sit for many hours at work.

New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Peter Smith, a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States, says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives, meaning it is something we do all the time, everywhere.

However, Mr. Smith says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. He also says you may exercise often, “We can't throw away physical activity. It's extremely important. We have 60 years of research showing us that.”

Mr. Smith and his colleagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. “Studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality(死亡率)or television viewing and mortality are very rare. There's only been a few of them, actually five or six now, in the last four or five years.” They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one-point four years to life.

Luckily, change is already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk.” A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. Even some U.S. schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving. That's one of the strategies that many companies are using now.

Mr. Smith also says studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives.

【1】The underlined word “ubiquitous” is closest in meaning to________.

A.dangerous B. awkward

C.comfortable D. common

【2】Which view agrees with the opinion of Mr. Smith?

A. Sitting too long may help increase one's life.

B.Exercise is important and don't sit too long.

C.Watching TV is bad, but can broaden one's horizons.

D.Stopping watching TV is a necessary but hard task.

【3】What does Mr. Smith think of his study in Paragraph 4?

A.It's a relatively new area of study.

B.It's a hot subject studied by experts.

C.It's a study that begins too late.

D.It's not ignored by many experts.

【4】Why are the desks of all kinds designed for those who sit more?

A.To give them more comfort.

B.To improve their work efficiency.

C.To offer them the chance to exercise.

D.To seek pleasure while working.

Culture means any human behavior that is learned in human society. All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning.【1】 Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.

Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a sociocultural system. 【2】 Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Midnapore in India, the director of a children’s home was told by local villagers that there were “ghost” in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest.【3】 In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala (as the older child was named) and Amala (the name given to the younger child):

Kamala was a terrible-looking being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders. 【4】Their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours, just like squirrels.

Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior by taking part in a cultural community.【5】

A. Culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society.

B. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases.

【題目】

We spend so much time waiting to be loved, hoping love will find us, and searching for that special love. Unfortunately, that’s not usually how life works. Loving yourself is mainly having self-respect, which is the only dependable way to create love in your own life, so you can share it with others. To be able to be loved, you must love and respect yourself as much as you do others. By doing so, you are enabling positive energy and allowing for great situation to occur in your life.

Bringing joy to other people’s lives will help you find joy in your own. In addition, those who you treat well will likely repay you with the same kindness. Gradually, you will start to feel your worth through the smiles of gratitude. However, don’t just be very kind to people so you can receive royal treatment.

Don’t punish yourself for something you have done in the past. Instead, look at the mistake as a learning experience. Say to yourself now, “I forgive myself for..." Go to look in a mirror, and say it out loud to yourself. Look at yourself right in the eyes, and speak forgiveness like you mean it. If you do, laugh out loud, realizing that was then and this is now. Every day is a new beginning.

We all want a nice house, nice things, and someone to share our life with. Find your true wants objectively. Are you eager for power, a religion, or simply a motive? Sometimes, it’s easier to hide the truth from yourself, but figuring out what you really want will help you know yourself better. This will hopefully aid you in answering important questions you often ask yourself.

Write about your experiences, good and bad. When you write down good experiences, allow yourself to feel those feelings. When you remember bad experiences, allow yourself to feel self-compassion(自我同情). Compassion is not self-pity, but rather a willingness to accept one’s own pain and regret. Compassion allows us to be present with our pain, so we can acknowledge it and let it go.

【1】What can we conclude from the passage?

A. We must show great respect for others.

B. We should love ourselves in order to get love.

C. We should overcome any difficulty.

D. We must have mercy on everyone.

【2】According to the passage, most people ________________

A. have a dependable way to create love in their lives

B. keep their self-respect hidden in their hearts

C. are longing to get love from family or friends

D. are waiting for chances to give love to others

【3】When you realize you have made a mistake, _______________.

A. you should blame yourself for what you have done

B. you should find a way to bring joy to others.

C. you should face a mirror for a long time.

D. you should learn a lesson from your mistake.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To show how smartly he can love himself.

B. To give advice on how to love ourselves.

C. To warn us not to be lost in self-pity.

D. To express a special love for the readers.
