26、Riding on an exercise bike at home may keep you in physical shape, but it can get pretty boring after a while. Aaron Puzey had been on his exercise bike for half an hour a day for years when he decided to look for a way to make it a bit more fun.
With virtual reality technology widely available nowadays, all he needed to do was find a way of applying it to his needs. So he set out to build an app for the Samsung Galaxy Gear VR headset(头戴式视图器) which would allow him to hook it up to Google Street view and make it seem like he's cycling through different real-life locations.
Building the app to download the 3D data from Street View and make it viewable in the VR headset was the toughest part of his project. Other than that, all he needed to do was tape a Bluetooth monitor to his exercise bike. Although the quality of the images sometimes leaves a lot to be desired, leaving complex scenes like trees looking like a mess, Aaron has been having a lot of fun on his journey.
Aaron's project is obviously no substitute(替代品) for real outdoor cycling as it lacks things like the wind blowing in your face or the pain of battling an uphill climb, but it has given him a goal, as well as the chance to take in the beauty of places he might have otherwise never seen. It definitely beats staring at a wall or at the TV for 30 minutes, anyway.
Obviously, Aaron's set up the officially allows him to ride a bike anywhere around the world. He says he has always wanted to see Japan, so once his ride comes to an end, he plans to start another one across the Land of the Rising Sun.
【1】Why did Aaron Puzey build the app?
A．To invent a new kind of bicycle
B．To participate in a competition.
C．To satisfy the needs of the public.
D．To add fun to his exercise bike routine
【2】Which of the following can best describe Aaron Puxey?
A．Creative.
B．Ambitious.
C．Funny.
D．Boring.
【3】What was the challenge for Puzey in his project?
A．Changing the 3D data into pictures.
B．Downloading the software from the Internet.
C．Making the 3D data viewable in the headset.
D．Taping a Bluetooth monitor lo his exercise bike.
【4】What might be the best title for the text?
A．Cycling Across the World at Home
B．The Lazy Man and His Crazy Idea
C．A New Way of Cycling Without Effort
D．A Substitute for Real Outdoor Cycling
27、Travel Is Good For Your Health
Americans are losing their vacation days, leading to more stress, anxiety and other negative effects because of not taking time off from work. In fact, a report by Project: Time Off, shows U.S. employees took about 16 vacation days in 2013, down from about 20 in 2000. Apart from taking away yourself the chance to improve your productivity and work performance, not taking a break can lead to overloaded stress and other potentially damaging. 【1】
After all, vacations offer the chance to relax and restore your health. 【2】 You should travel to new places because traveling somewhere new can enable you to put yourself in new surroundings and recharge your brain power.
【3】 According to Dr. Margaret J. King, the director of the Center for Cultural Studies & Analysis, “There are lots of psychological benefits when you travel from home and work to ‘third places’, not just experiencing the environment. With a short list of activities each day, freed up from the projects and relationships, the mind can reset, as does the body, with stress relief the main outcome.” she says.
Little sleep mixed with high stress can lead to anger and negative consequences on your cognitive performance and efficiency. Max Hirshkowitz, chairman of the board of the National Sleep Foundation says a vacation is a great opportunity to catch up on sleep. 【4】 “Keep that time,” he says. “Make it an important thing you need.”
Many studies suggest that travel can improve our emotional state. A 2014 survey conducted by Diamond Resorts International found over three-quarters of people said feeling happier when they planned a trip at least once a year. Dr. Leigh Vinocur, a certified physician and spokesperson for the American College of Emergency Physicians, isn’t surprised by the findings. “It’s hard to sit on a beautiful beach somewhere and think about paperwork or deadlines. That is why over three-quarters of people to the Diamond Resorts International survey reported feeling happier when they regularly had a vacation. Regular vacations while taking time for yourself and your family lowers your stress level. 【5】” she says. Besides, studies show that looking back on the pleasant vacation may keep happiness long after your trip.
A.They have bad effects on your health, experts say.
B.Traveling has many advantages, with stress relief topping the list.
C.Travelers may be more active than sitting in an office chair all day.
D.Travel can help us reset our emotions and actually increase compassion.
E.But simply taking some time from your demanding workday schedule isn’t enough.
F.To feel more energized, the NSF recommends at least seven hours of sleep per night for adults.
G.It also decreases the production of all the stress hormones that contribute to damaging our health.
28、 Are you always dreaming of getting paid for just showing up to work? To the best of luck, the Korsvagen train station in Sweden will offer a special occupation to one lucky person in 2025! The comfortable lifetime position comes with a generous starting monthly pay of 21,564 SEK ($2,320), a guaranteed (有保证的) yearly pay increase of 3.2 percent, and even vacation time.
The position was put forward by Swedish artists Simon Goldin and Jakob Senneby in answer to a design competition for the Korsvagen train station, which is now under construction and planned to open in 2026. Instead of presenting an artistic design, Goldin and Senneby suggested using the 7,000,000 SEK ($753,000) prize money to hire a lifetime employee to do nothing! Surprisingly, the unusual idea appealed to the judges of the competition, who adopted the suggestion and announced their decision to carry out the Eternal (终生的) Employment Project.
The job only requires the lucky employee to arrive at the station each morning and ring the clock, which will turn on a bank of bright lights. The person can remain at the station all day —greeting passengers, texting friends, or even sleeping — or leave and return at the end of the day to clock out.
The job is guaranteed for life as long as he/she obeys these simple requirements and does not accept any other employment. Though the job sounds like a waste of life, the artists believe the employee will be doing important work to act as a witness (见证) of time.
The best part is that people from all over the world can apply to be considered for this unique position equally — be sure not to miss it!
【1】Which of the following best explains “appealed to” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Attracted. B. Panicked. C. Bothered. D. Amused.
【2】What must the employee do according to his/her duty?
A. Contact friends. B. Work part-time.
C. Welcome passengers. D. Ring the clock each morning.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Lifetime Job to Be Offered for Doing Nothing
B. How the Eternal Employment Project Was Born
C. Swedish Artists Won a Design Competition
D. An Outstanding Employee Wanted

In Times of Crists, We Need Classical Music
It’s still lying in front of me on my desk. The booklet, entitled Time for Outrange(愤怒) , was written by the 93-year-old French diplomat(外交官) Stephane Hessel. “The power of money,” Hessel says, filled with anger, “has never been as great and selfish and 【1】 as it is now.”
But what does the outrage of this Frenchman have to do with classical music and , ultimately, with me, music director of the Orchestre Symphenique de Montreal(蒙特利尔交响乐团) ?
A lot, I, too, am outraged by the direction of industrial society, with materialism and consumerism leading the way. I want to show that, because of its powerful impact, classical music can play a(n) 【2】 role right now.
We all sense that our society is experiencing an almost revolutionary 【3】. Life is getting faster, competition is fiercer and social cohesion(凝聚力) is reducing. Like most people, I have no idea how liberty and civil rights would develop in the era of globalization and ever-evolving technological advancement.
But I see this as an opportunity for a(n) 【4】 to classical music. The great symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are not museum pieces we should listen to only if we want to 【5】 ourselves with some music history. Now are they a decoration or a relaxation exercise for the quickened pace of life.
They are more than what a radio station for classical music once promised - “your oasis(绿洲) of well-being.” They are timeless compositions that 【6】 all the uncertainties and insecurities of this new period. They can support us in our search for meaning. Beethoven, for example, was convinced that man had the capacity to change for the better and to go throughout life. This is why there is so much hope in his music. His symphonies was mean to 【7】 people forward.
Classic music 【8】 our senses and emotions in such a way that we were thrown back onto ourselves. It 【9】 to listeners to make use of their own reason and reflect on their actions. Music’s sole purpose is to be experienced. That experience, in turn, is why music can change our perceptions(认知) of ourselves and thereby our interactions with others.
【10】 to explain this powerful impact of music will always remain unsatisfying, but this much is certain: aesthetic(审美的) experiences can transform people.
32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。词数应为150左右。
Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.
One day, Ali took Zahra’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
