Moods,say the experts,are feelings that are likely to become fixed,having effects on one′s outlook(way of looking at things)for hours,days or even weeks.That′s great if your mood is a pleasant one,but a problem if you are sad,anxious,angry or simply lonely.
Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out;sometimes,though,there is no one to listen.Modern pharmacology(药物学)offers a lot tranquilizers(镇定剂)and anti-anxiety drugs.What many people don′t realize,however,is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to make you free from an unwanted mood.These can be just as useful as drugs,and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous.So next time you feel out of sorts,don′t head for the drug store--try the following method.
Of all the mood-changing self-help techniques,aerobic exercise seems to be the best cure for a bad mood."If you could keep the exercise,you′d be in high spirits,"says Kathryn Lance,author of Running for Health and Beauty.
Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compare favorably to drugs as mood-raiser.Physical work such as housework,however,does little.The key is aerobic exercise--running,cycling,walking,swimming,or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate and circulation(循环),and improve the body′s use of oxygen.Do them for at least 20 minutes a time,three to five times a week.

What is the main subject of the passage?

A.How to beat a bad mood.
B.How to talk bad moods out.
C.How to do physical exercises.
D.How to do aerobic exercise.

    Once a king was walking around a pool with his ministers(大臣).Suddenly, he came up with(想出)an idea. He asked,“How many baskets of 41 are there in the pool?” The ministers couldn’t give an answer. The king was angry, “ You 42 answer my questions in three days!”

    Three days passed, but 43 of the ministers had the answer. Just then, a child said that he knew it. The king told the ministers 44 the child to the pool. To his surprise, the child 45 and said with a smile, “It is 46 . No need to go to the pool.” This made the king pleased. “All right. Let us know 47 .” The child said, “If you know the 48 of the basket, the answer is known. 49 it is as big as the pool, there is one basket of water; half as big, two baskets… ” “ Stop!

    Common-cold Sense
    You can't beat it,but you don't have to join it.Maybe it got the name"common cold"because it's more common in winter.The fact is,though,being cold doesn't have anything to do with getting one.Colds are caused by the spread of rhinoviruses,and,at least so far,medical science is better at telling you how to avoid getting one than how to get rid of one.
    Children are the most common way cold viruses are spread to adults,because they have more colds than adults-an average of about eight per year.Why do kids seem so much more easily to get colds than their parents?Simple.They haven't had the opportunity to become immune to many cold viruses.
    There are more than 150 different cold viruses,and you never have the same one twice.being infected by one makes you immune to it-but only it.
    Colds are usually spread by direct contact,not sneezing or coughing.From another person's hand to your hand and then to your nose or eyes is the most common route.The highest concentration of cold viruses anywhere is found under the thumbnails of a boy,although the viruses can survive for hours on skin or other smooth surfaces.
    Hygiene is your best defense.Wash your hands frequently,preferably with a disinfectant soap,especially when children in your household have colds.
    But even careful hygiene won't ward off every cold.So,what works when a coughing,sneezing, runny nose strikes?
    The old prescription of two aspirins,lots of water,and bed rest is a good place to start.But you'll also find some of the folk remedies worth trying.Hot mixtures of sugar(or honey),lemon,and water have real benefits.

    When one is having a cold,he may often have all the following symptoms EXCEPT______.
    A:coughing
    B:sneezing
    C:having a runny nose
    D:having a stomachache

    答案:D
    解析:
    由文章第一段最后一句可知,感冒是由于一种鼻病毒的传播而引起的,故选B。
    由文章第五段第一句可知,保持卫生是应对感冒的最好防御,故选A。
    由文章第二段最后一句可知,儿童对很多病毒还不具有免疫性,因此他们更易患感冒。故选B。
    由文章第三段内容可知,一个人绝不会被同一种感冒病毒感染两次,和C项的表述内容相符,故选C。
    由文章倒数第二段第二句的内容可知, 当一个人患感冒时,会出现咳嗽.打喷嚏以及流鼻涕的症状,而未提及有胃疼症状,故选D。

    Parkinson's Disease

    1 Parkinson's disease affects the way you move.It happens when there is a problem with certain nerve
    cells in the brain. Normally , these nerve cells make an important chemical called dopamine(多巴胺). Dopa-
    mine sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movement.It lets your muscles move smoothly and
    do what you want them to do.When you have Parkinson's,these nerve cells break down.Then you no longer
    have enough dopamine,and you have trouble moving the way you want to.
    2 No one knows for sure what makes these nerve cells break down.But scientists are doing a lot of re-
    search to look for the answer. They are studying many possible causes,including aging and poisons in the en-
    vironment.Abnormal genes seem to lead to Parkinson's disease in some people.But so far,there is not enough
    proof to show that it is always inherited.
    3 Tremor(颤抖)may be the first symptom you notice.It is one of the most common signs of the
    disease,although not everyone has it.Tremor often starts in just one arm or leg or only on one side of the
    body.It may be worse when you are awake but not moving the affected arm or leg. It may get better when you
    move the limb or when you are asleep.In time,Parkinson's affects muscles all through your body,so it can
    lead to problems like trouble swallowing or constipation(便秘).In the later stages of the disease , a person
    with Parkinson's may have a fixed or blank expression,trouble speaking,and other problems.Some people
    also have a decrease in mental skills.
    4 At this time,there is no cure for Parkinson's disease.But there are several types of medicines that
    can control the symptoms and make the disease easier to live with.You may not even need treatment if your
    symptoms are mild.Your doctor may wait to prescribe medicines until your symptoms start to get in the way of
    your daily life.Your doctor will adjust your medicines as your symptoms get worse.You may need to take
    several medicines to get the best results.

    A lot of research is being done to find out__________.
    A:what affects muscles all through your body
    B:if there isn't enough dopamine in your body
    C:which cannot be cured yet
    D:which may be the first symptom you notice
    E:if you have a fixed or blank expression
    F: what causes Parkinson's disease

    答案:F

    即导致疾病产生的可能的原因。本段主要探讨的是这种疾病发生的原因。
    即疾病的典型症状。本段讲的是帕金森综合征的一些典型的病症,如颤抖、吞咽困难和 便秘等等。
    即通常的治疗方法。从本段可知,虽然帕金森综合征还不能治愈,但是可以通过几种 药物控制患者的病症。
    即如果没有足够的多巴胺你会发现自己难以随心所欲地行动。根据第一段最后一句 "Then you no longer have enough dopamine,and you have trouble moving the way you want to.”可 知,本题应选B。

    资料:What if you were told there was a way you may strengthen your cognitive skills and heighten your intelligence, and all you had to do was was learn to strike up basic conversations in another language?
    It probably sounds great, because if you’re like most you would love to be able to speak a second language. But then, you recall your experience in high school foreign language-boring tote memorization and long hours with little progress-and perhaps it doesn’t sound so good any more.
    But, what if you were told it would take only 10 days to be on your way to becoming bilingual? Most people recognize the many benefits of learning a foreign language: You can travel to foreign countries and fell comfortable, be a more productive and enticing employee in today’s competitive job market, and immerse yourself in the vast cultures that surround you.
    But now, the collective evidence from a number of recent studies suggests that the bilingual experience improves the brain’s so-called executive function-a command system that directs the attention processes that we use for planning, solving problems, and performing various other mentally demanding tasks.
    These processes include the ability to ignore distractions to stay focused, switching attention willfully from one thing to another, and holding information in the mind-like remembering a sequence of directions while driving.
    Even better, new approaches to learning mean you can learn a new language without the endless repetition, homework, and memorization. One of the most powerful actually trains people to start speaking a new language in as little as 10 days! In fact, it’s so powerful, even the FBI has purchased it!

    单选题
    Good Communication for Making Friends As a communication skills trainer, I've met a wide range of people. Some people have trouble associating with others and have difficulty making friends. So I would like to discuss two key points to making good friends. The first is to show respect and love for your friends through your words. Try to say things to others that would feel good to you if you heard them. For example, say things like, "Thanks for the great time" and "It was really nice to get to know you."If you are not good at speaking, then smiling and using body language to express your sincerity is also an effective way to communicate. Additionally, I recommend that when you meet someone new send them an e-mail or letter before the day is over to express how nice it was to meet them. The goal of good communication is to reach another person's heart and form a comfortable relationship. It is, therefore, based the premise that you get rid of your worries and become a bright and positive person. When there is static noise over the phone line, you can't hear the other person clearly, right? In the same way, when your mind is full of worries and you try to communicate with another person, you cannot give or receive messages accurately. For example, let's say you are still tied to a past wound of being betrayed by a friend and feeling hurts .Even if you meet someone new and he or she tells you, "Let's be good friends," you may not be able to accept it because you will hear a negative inner voice saying something like "I might be betrayed again" or "the person might have a hidden agenda."With this worry in your mind, you will not be able to make friends. If you can be refreshed and get rid of your worries, you should be able to sense others' thoughts and feelings without prejudice and build a relationship of trust. If you really can't let go of your painful past experience, then try to change your perspective on the experience. For example, try to think that it was a necessary lesson for you to understand others' pain. If you can think of the positive intention behind the event, then you will be able to view the experience favourably and feel better. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? ( )
    A

    Body language is as effective as saying things that will make friends feel better.

    B

    If you distrust others, then it's difficult for you to make new friends.

    C

    The writer conducted a research on how people communicate with their friends.

    D

    Minds full of worries will do great harm to interpersonal relationship


    正确答案: A
    解析: 本题可采用排除法。第一段中,作者谈到了有关肢体语言能帮助我们有效交流的内容,因此选项A正确。第二段后半部分,作者举例讲了交友中如果不信任对方会出现什么情况,因此选项B正确。第二、三段作者重点讲了交友中焦虑带来的负面影响,并给出了克服它的方法;因此选项D也正确。答案为C。

    Parkinson's Disease

    1 Parkinson's disease affects the way you move.It happens when there is a problem with certain nerve
    cells in the brain. Normally , these nerve cells make an important chemical called dopamine(多巴胺). Dopa-
    mine sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movement.It lets your muscles move smoothly and
    do what you want them to do.When you have Parkinson's,these nerve cells break down.Then you no longer
    have enough dopamine,and you have trouble moving the way you want to.
    2 No one knows for sure what makes these nerve cells break down.But scientists are doing a lot of re-
    search to look for the answer. They are studying many possible causes,including aging and poisons in the en-
    vironment.Abnormal genes seem to lead to Parkinson's disease in some people.But so far,there is not enough
    proof to show that it is always inherited.
    3 Tremor(颤抖)may be the first symptom you notice.It is one of the most common signs of the
    disease,although not everyone has it.Tremor often starts in just one arm or leg or only on one side of the
    body.It may be worse when you are awake but not moving the affected arm or leg. It may get better when you
    move the limb or when you are asleep.In time,Parkinson's affects muscles all through your body,so it can
    lead to problems like trouble swallowing or constipation(便秘).In the later stages of the disease , a person
    with Parkinson's may have a fixed or blank expression,trouble speaking,and other problems.Some people
    also have a decrease in mental skills.
    4 At this time,there is no cure for Parkinson's disease.But there are several types of medicines that
    can control the symptoms and make the disease easier to live with.You may not even need treatment if your
    symptoms are mild.Your doctor may wait to prescribe medicines until your symptoms start to get in the way of
    your daily life.Your doctor will adjust your medicines as your symptoms get worse.You may need to take
    several medicines to get the best results.

    You'll find it hard to move the way you want to__________.
    A:what affects muscles all through your body
    B:if there isn't enough dopamine in your body
    C:which cannot be cured yet
    D:which may be the first symptom you notice
    E:if you have a fixed or blank expression
    F: what causes Parkinson's disease

    答案:B

  • 第18题:

    资料:What if you were told there was a way you may strengthen your cognitive skills and heighten your intelligence, and all you had to do was was learn to strike up basic conversations in another language?
    It probably sounds great, because if you’re like most you would love to be able to speak a second language. But then, you recall your experience in high school foreign language-boring tote memorization and long hours with little progress-and perhaps it doesn’t sound so good any more.
    But, what if you were told it would take only 10 days to be on your way to becoming bilingual? Most people recognize the many benefits of learning a foreign language: You can travel to foreign countries and fell comfortable, be a more productive and enticing employee in today’s competitive job market, and immerse yourself in the vast cultures that surround you.
    But now, the collective evidence from a number of recent studies suggests that the bilingual experience improves the brain’s so-called executive function-a command system that directs the attention processes that we use for planning, solving problems, and performing various other mentally demanding tasks.
    These processes include the ability to ignore distractions to stay focused, switching attention willfully from one thing to another, and holding information in the mind-like remembering a sequence of directions while driving.
    Even better, new approaches to learning mean you can learn a new language without the endless repetition, homework, and memorization. One of the most powerful actually trains people to start speaking a new language in as little as 10 days! In fact, it’s so powerful, even the FBI has purchased it!

  • 第21题:

    Moods,say the experts,are feelings that are likely to become fixed,having effects on one′s outlook(way of looking at things)for hours,days or even weeks.That′s great if your mood is a pleasant one,but a problem if you are sad,anxious,angry or simply lonely.
    Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out;sometimes,though,there is no one to listen.Modern pharmacology(药物学)offers a lot tranquilizers(镇定剂)and anti-anxiety drugs.What many people don′t realize,however,is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to make you free from an unwanted mood.These can be just as useful as drugs,and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous.So next time you feel out of sorts,don′t head for the drug store--try the following method.
    Of all the mood-changing self-help techniques,aerobic exercise seems to be the best cure for a bad mood."If you could keep the exercise,you′d be in high spirits,"says Kathryn Lance,author of Running for Health and Beauty.
    Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compare favorably to drugs as mood-raiser.Physical work such as housework,however,does little.The key is aerobic exercise--running,cycling,walking,swimming,or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate and circulation(循环),and improve the body′s use of oxygen.Do them for at least 20 minutes a time,three to five times a week.

    It can be inferred from the passage that

    A.when one is in a bad mood,he or she may not work very well
    B.the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneself
    C.some drugs are more effective than physical exercises
    D.taking drug~is at the risk of being poisonous

    Good Communication for Making Friends As a communication skills trainer, I've met a wide range of people. Some people have trouble associating with others and have difficulty making friends. So I would like to discuss two key points to making good friends. The first is to show respect and love for your friends through your words. Try to say things to others that would feel good to you if you heard them. For example, say things like, "Thanks for the great time" and "It was really nice to get to know you."If you are not good at speaking, then smiling and using body language to express your sincerity is also an effective way to communicate. Additionally, I recommend that when you meet someone new send them an e-mail or letter before the day is over to express how nice it was to meet them. The goal of good communication is to reach another person's heart and form a comfortable relationship. It is, therefore, based the premise that you get rid of your worries and become a bright and positive person. When there is static noise over the phone line, you can't hear the other person clearly, right? In the same way, when your mind is full of worries and you try to communicate with another person, you cannot give or receive messages accurately. For example, let's say you are still tied to a past wound of being betrayed by a friend and feeling hurts .Even if you meet someone new and he or she tells you, "Let's be good friends," you may not be able to accept it because you will hear a negative inner voice saying something like "I might be betrayed again" or "the person might have a hidden agenda."With this worry in your mind, you will not be able to make friends. If you can be refreshed and get rid of your worries, you should be able to sense others' thoughts and feelings without prejudice and build a relationship of trust. If you really can't let go of your painful past experience, then try to change your perspective on the experience. For example, try to think that it was a necessary lesson for you to understand others' pain. If you can think of the positive intention behind the event, then you will be able to view the experience favourably and feel better. The effective way to communicate includes( )

    • A、showing respect and love for friends with words
    • B、smiling and using body language
    • C、sending an e-mail or letter
