Nearly thirty years ago, I went rock climbing for the first time with a group in New Mexico. It sounded exciting and 31 ! Anyone who has ever climbed knows that you can easily 32 where there is no place to go, or so. It seems you’re stuck. But 33 is not an option. You cannot just stand there and feel 34 for yourself. You cannot go back down, so you are 35 to become solution minded.
I held on for dear life that day, on my first climb, 36 about three quarters of the way to the top. It seemed that there was no place to go, and 37 to put my hands or feet so that I could 38 upward. But after a few minutes had passed I realized that I had to do 39 . I began to look again for a(n) 40 . I then noticed a 41 sticking out, which I might be able to grab with my hands and 42 myself up to where I could have a small foothold. I called to the instructor at the top and asked him if that rock would hold my 43 if I pulled myself up. I can 44 remember his answer, “I don’t know. Why don’t you try it and see?”
In life we many times feel “stuck”. We wonder how we got into the 45 that we are presently in. It is in those times that we need to be careful about how we define(定義)it. Have we failed, 46 is it just a setback?
Setbacks, adversity(逆境), or being stuck is never an indication that you are a 47 unless you decide that those things define your life as a failure. For people looking for a(n) 48 to be a failure, there are always plenty to choose from. But if you want your life to be successful, setbacks, adversity and being stuck are 49 stepping-stones to your success. Success minded people 50 those kinds of things for what they really are. They know that for them, they are only temporary.

A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was connected to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in the BritishMedicalJournal.
Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians — although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.
Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.
Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.
Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.
Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, “The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life.
But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said，“It_ is_ like _the _chicken _and _egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues？”
【小題1】 What’s the result of the research mentioned in the text?
| A．Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life. |
| B．Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life. |
| C．Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life. |
| D．Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life. |
| A．most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried out |
| B．vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians |
| C．female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians |
| D．vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians |
| A．Intelligence is linked to not just being a vegetarian but to many factors. |
| B．The rate of getting heart disease is linked to your lifestyle. |

Cell Phones Are the New Cigarettes
When you get in your car, you reach for it．When you’re at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it．When you get into a lift, you play with it．
Cigarettes? Cup of coffee? No, it’s the third most addictive thing in modern life, the cell phone．And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curbtheir longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships．
With its shiny surface, its smooth and satisfying touch, its air of complexity, the cell phone connects us to the world even as it disconnects us from people three feet away．In just the past couple of years, the cell phone has challenged individuals, employers, phone makers and counselors（顧問）in ways its inventors in the late 1940s never imagined．
The costs are becoming even more evident, and I don’t mean just the monthly bill．Dr．Chris Knippers, a counselor at the Betty Ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and an escape from reality．
Sounds extreme, but we’ve all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him．
Is it just rude, or is it a kind of unhealthiness? And pardon me, but how is this improving the quality of life?
Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation．He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with．Despite the growing use of phones, e-mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we don’t have as many friends as our parents. “Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends,” he says．
If the cell phone has truly had these effects, it’s because it has become very widespread．Consider that in 1987, there were only 1 million cell phones in use．Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them．They far outnumber wired phones in the United States．
1.Which of the following best explains the title of the passage?
A．Cell phone users smoke less than they used to．
B．Cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettes．
C．More people use cell phones than smoke cigarettes．
D．Using cell phone is just as cool as smoking cigarettes．
2.The underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 2 means ____．
A．rescue B．ignore C．develop D．control
3.The example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the idea that ．
A．women use cell phones more often than men
B．talking on the phone while driving is dangerous
C．cell phones do not necessarily bring people together
D．cell phones make one-on-one personal contact easy
