21、It's 5：00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise，I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over，but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you，” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it's okay to just say “no”. I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5：00 a. m．？ What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases selfconfidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.

22、You might think people all over the United States have Wi-Fi----wireless Internet service---and mobile phones. But there is no such service in Green Bank, West Virginia, a tiny town four hours from the U. S. capital, Washington D. C. Fewer than 150 people live in Green Bank, which has two churches, an elementary school and a public library. It is also home to the largest radio telescope in the world.
There is a ban(禁令)on Wi-Fi in Green Bank, along with anything else that can crate electromagnetic(电磁的)waves. Officials say the waves could disturb the signals(信号)the telescope receives.
For many Americans, a visit to Green Bank is a little like returning to the 1950s. To get there, you must read road signs---because there is no GPS service in the town. People can connect with the Internet through telephones, but wireless service is not allowed.
The observatory(天文台)is one of the largest employers in the area. The federal National Science Foundation (NSF)spends about $8.2 million a year to operate the observatory, telescope and educational center.
Jonah Bauserman is a technician. If he supposes there is a signal that is not allowed in the zone, he drives to the house where the signal is coming from and checks it. but once a week, when the device is cleaned, come banned devices are allowed near it.
People in the town respect the work of the scientists. And they say they are happy to live without Wi-Fi and mobile phones. “You know, instead of sitting here on our phones and other devices we’re out fishing and hunting and going to each other’s houses.” Everyone knows each other and communication is almost always face-to-face.

23、 A study, led by researchers from the University of California, San Diego, tracked the same 875 mother-child pairs in Chile for 16 years, conducting assessments at ages 1, 5, 10 and 16. At each visit researchers screened the mother for signs of depression and used cognitive (认知的) development tests on the child. They also asked questions to assess the home life, characterizing the level of engagement (密切联系) between the mother and child.
Researchers found that signs of depression in moms when the child is one are associated with lower scores on cognitive function tests for the child at age 16. “We found that mothers who were highly depressed didn’t invest (投入) emotionally or in providing learning materials to support their child, such as toys and books, as much as mothers who were not depressed. This, in turn, impacted the child’s IQ at ages 5, 10 and 16,” Patricia East, PhD, research scientist with the Department of Pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine and one of the lead authors on the study, said in a statement.
The authors found the relationship in reverse to be true, as well — lower development scores early in the childlife promoted less engagement from mom and that only increased signs of maternal (母亲的) depression as the child entered into adolescence.
Children who had severely depressed mothers were found to have an average verbal IQ score of 7. 30 compared to a score of 7. 78 in children without depressed mothers.
Although seemingly small, differences in IQ from 7. 78 to 7. 30 are highly meaningful in terms of children’s verbal skills and vocabulary, said East. “Our study results show the long-term consequences that a child can experience due to long-term maternal depression.”
However, the authors recognize these families in Chile can be very different from mothers and children of other cultural backgrounds or nationalities. Besides, all the families studied were from a similar cultural background and socioeconomic status and had a similar level of education.
【1】What did the researchers do in the study?
A．They screened the child for signs of depression.
B．They tested the cognitive abilities of the mother.
C．They evaluated the mother-child pairs’ relationship.
D．They ignored the mother’s educational background.
【2】What conclusion did the researchers draw?
A．A kid’s IQ scores were decided by the mother’s.
B．A kid’s IQ scores were different at different ages.
C．Depressed mothers gave birth to kids with low IQ scores.
D．Mothers’ depression might negatively impact their kids’ IQ.
【3】The underlined part “the relationship in reverse to be true” in Paragraph 3 probably means_________.
A．a mother’s depression might lead to her kid’s depression
B．a kid’s lower IQ prevented him from succeeding at school
C．a mother’s depression prevented her engagement with her kid
D．an adolescent with lower IQ worsened the mother’s depression
【4】What might be the author’s attitude towards the results of the study?
A．They don’t sound controversial.
B．They may encourage public debate.
C．They may not be very representative.
D．They have been confirmed in a large scale.
24、I can proudly say that I broke the record for the oldest person in the world to ride a roller coaster. I’m over 105, but I feel younger. Even the doctor agrees I’m in good condition. I’m a bit deaf and my legs feel weak, but they are the only issue.
I rode the Twistosaurus at Flamingo Land, which spins you round quite fast. I didn’t choose to go on that. I’d have preferred a really fast one that went upside down. But I was told I couldn’t ride something like that, because it would affect my blood pressure and I might have some danger.
I wasn’t nervous-I don’t get frightened of anything. I was securely fastened, so I knew I wouldn’t fall out. The roller coaster ride went on for three or four minutes, and it couldn’t be a better experience. And I raised a lot of money for the Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance fund, which was fantastic.
People were saying I’d got a place in the Guinness World Records. Later, someone came to present me with the certificate. I had it on the wall in my living room, with another one I got a year earlier.
My record-breaking ways really began a couple of years ago, with the ice bucket challenge. It turned out that I was probably the oldest person in the world to do it, and the video was very popular. After that, I started to think about what else I could do to raise money for different charities.
I’m not sure if anyone admires all the fun I’m having. They just say I’m daft and that’s about it. But I’ve had many good days and many exciting times. I’ve had a really good life. I don’t think I’ve wasted any of it.
【1】Why didn’t the author choose to go on riding the Twistosaurus?
A．Because he was told not to do so.
B．Because he considered it too gentle.
C．Because he thought it spun too fast.
D．Because he was in a bad physical condition.
【2】How did the author most probably react while riding the roller coaster?
A．He really enjoyed himself.
B．He was very worried at first.
C．He couldn’t think much about it.
D．He got frightened as it started moving.
【3】Which word can best describe the author?
A．Cooperative.
B．Optimistic.
C．Generous.
D．Intelligent.
【4】What does the underlined word “daft” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Healthy.
B．Strong.
C．Crazy.
D．Funny.
