21、 We all feel anxious from time to time. For many, these uncertain times are a contributor to stress and concern. Anxiety is a normal reaction to a stressful situation, but if feelings of anxiety last a long time or keep returning, you might be experiencing an anxiety disorder.
Dave Smithson from Anxiety UK explains that there are three different aspects of anxiety: physical (how you feel), psychological (what you think), and behavioral (what you do). ” Physical symptoms include an increased heart rate or muscle tension, breathing heavily or dizziness. Psychological symptoms include feelings that you might lose control, faint or think people are looking at you and noticing your anxiety. Behavioral aspects include avoiding the situation that makes you feel anxious. “Those who are usually outgoing may become withdrawn, or those who are reserved may become erratic,” he says. “Everyone’s different, and anxiety can be caused by a range of things.”
Stephen Buckley, from mental health charity Mind, says talking to someone you trust can be helpful. If this isn’t possible, you could call a confidential helpline such as Mind’s Infoline, or those run by Anxiety UK and Samaritans.
Learning to relax through breathing exercises and other techniques can help manage anxiety. “Keeping a record of what started the anxiety and what helps it to pass, such as slowing your breathing or getting outdoors for a walk, can help you understand and spot patterns early on,” Stephen says. Relaxation techniques can include exercises to release tension in your body by relaxing your muscles. Drawing calming circles on paper with coloured pencils or pens is a way to distract you from worrying thoughts.
Other recommendations from Mind include connecting with other people. “This is a vital way of maintaining wellbeing” Stephen adds. “Have regular chats with friends and family over the phone. Talking to people in the same boat can be reassuring. Many people find it helpful to share ideas about how to stay well, connect with others and feel less alone.”
【1】What symptom do people with an anxiety disorder have in common?
A．A strong tendency to avoid meeting people.
B．A temporary decline in thinking ability.
C．A lasting feeling of tension and worry.
D．A violent reaction to a tense situation.
【2】How can people manage anxiety effectively according to Stephen?
A．By predicting conditions that may cause anxiety.
B．By communicating with people they rely on.
C．By relieving tension through hard work.
D．By maintaining their routine life.
【3】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce the strategies of dealing with anxiety.
B．To analyze the contributors to mental disorder.
C．To distinguish anxiety from anxiety disorder.
D．To clarify different categories of anxiety.
22、One morning in 2003, a 19-year-old Amy Purdy left for her job as a nursery teacher, feeling healthy and ready for her day. Halfway through her morning, she started to feel achy and unwell. Once home, she had a fever and fell into a deep sleep that was impossible for her to shake.
After a short, tense ride to the nearest hospital, Purdy was given less than a two percent chance of surviving. Over the course of the 2.5month treatment that followed, she lost kidney (肾) function and hearing in her left ear—then her spleen and, eventually, both of her legs. What doctors thought was the flu ended up being a very deadly meningitis (脑膜炎) infection. Purdy’s life was changed forever.
It was when she was in bed for months that she started to think about that big life question: what was her story going to be? She began dreaming about snowboarding and visualized herself carving down a mountain of powder, feeling the wind on her face.
This made her return to the sport as a double-amputee (截肢者). Being back on the board was rough at first—several times, her board and her prosthetic (假体的) legs flew down the mountain without her. But Purdy had a strong will and set out to build her own prosthetics that would be purpose built for snowboarding. Purdy’s first home made snowboarding feet is on display in the Smithsonian now.
In 2005, after her 21st birthday—and the gift of a new kidney from her father—Purdy decided to start Adaptive Action Sports. Purdy and her family organized a team of snowboarders and began pushing for their sport to be part of the 2014 Paralympic Games in Sochi, Russia. After being turned down several times, they were finally granted access to the Paralympic Games, appearing as parasnowboarding for the first time in history. Since then, her snowboarding team has brought home six medals and raised the visibility of the sport.
Since her illness took her legs 18 years ago, Purdy has managed to squeeze as much achievement and joy out of her life as possible. “Maybe instead of looking at all our challenges and barriers as something negative or bad,” she proposes, “maybe we can look at them as little gifts that fire our imaginations.”
【1】Amy Purdy eventually lost her legs because of________ .
A．a sudden accident
B．the serious infection
C．the sports training
D．the kidney failure
【2】According to the passage, we can learn that________ .
A．Purdy’s father donated a kidney to her
B．Purdy’s former job was a snowboard athlete
C．Purdy made her snowboarding feet with her friends’ help
D．Purdy’s team snowboarding succeeded when they applied for the first time
【3】Which of the following words can best describe Amy Purdy?
A．Smart and mature.
B．Selfless and patient.
C．Determined and optimistic.
D．Creative and modest.
23、 The secret to living longer could be as simple as picking up your walking pace, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Sydney found that walking at a brisk(快的) or fast pace was associated with a risk reduction of 24 percent for any cause of death.
This effect was even more obvious in older age group, with fast walkers over the age of 60 reducing their risk of death by a surprising 53 percent. Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis, who led the study, explained, “A fast pace is generally five to six kilometers per hour, but it really depends on a walker’s fitness levels; an alternatives indicator is to walk at a pace that makes you slightly out of breath or sweaty.”
In the study, the researchers looked at the results of 11 surveys from 1994 to 2008, in which participants recorded their walking pace, as well as age, sex and BMI. The analysis showed that walking at an average pace was associated with a 20 percent risk reduction for all-cause mortality(死亡率) compared with walking at a slow pace, while walking at a brisk or fast pace was associated with a risk reduction of 24 percent.
The researchers hope the findings will encourage the development of public health message about the benefits of walking pace. Professor Stamatakis added, “These analyses suggest that increasing walking pace may be a straightforward way for people to improve heart health and risk for premature mortality--- providing a simple message for public health campaigns to promote.
“Especially in situations when walking more isn’t possible due to time pressures or a less walking-friendly environment, walking faster may be a good option to get the heart rate up--- one that most people can easily add to their lives.”
【1】Who benefit most from walking fast?
A. Cancer sufferers. B. The elderly.
C. Those who have heart problems. D. Those who have high BMI.
【2】What decides how fast a person can walk according to Professor Stamatakis?
A. His/Her fitness levels. B. His/Her ages.
C. His/Her will. D. His/Her BMI.
【3】Why can walking fast reduce death rate?
A. Most people like doing it. B. It benefits the heart.
C. It reduces cancer mortality. D. Most people can do it easily.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A. Walking is easy exercise for people to do.
B. Walking has received little attention until now.
C. More and more people are walking fast for health.
D. A fast walking pace can benefit people’s health.
24、Face-book chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg and Anna Maria Chavez, chief of American Girl Scouts, are leading a campaign to discourage the use of the word "bossy". Does the term destroy the confidence of young girls?
The campaign claims that terms like "bossy" are improperly applied to females, preventing schoolgirls from seeing themselves as future "leaders". From its first application, the word has been definitely connected more with women than with men. It first appeared in 1882, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, mentioning "a lady manager who was extremely bossy". As late as 2008, the word appeared in reference to females four times more often than males, claim the Ban Bossy campaigners. "To me, the reference is always in association with women," says Helen Trim, director of Fresh Minds. "I have three brothers and my family still call me 'bossy' today. " Her father is the only other family member who could be considered in that way, says Trim, but nobody would ever call him so.
Some educators recommend that the word should be reclaimed, rather than banned. "But the thing with 'bossy' is that there’s an infantile(幼稚的) element to it, says Sara Mills, professor at Sheffield University. "You think of ' bossy 'as being like a little kid who's claiming more than he has the right to claim. "
It's not just "bossy"under fire. "Pushy" is another target. The implication is that women shouldn't present themselves as powerful and confident, Mills suggests, which some women are willing to listen to and accept. Trim points out that many modern female business role models are able to be bosses without being labeled 'bossy'. And she rarely, if ever, hears the word used within her company. But she says that the damage may be done much earlier in a woman's life. "It does come about from those early teenage years. "she says. "I think it’s impossible to ban a word, but if people are replacing it with words like 'confidence' or ‘assertiveness', we would all be in a much better place. "
【1】More evidence is provided to show "bossy" is more applied to females by __________ .
A．the Oxford English Dictionary
B．the Ban Bossy campaigners
C．Helen Trim at Fresh Minds
D．some experts in education
【2】Trim's family still consider her bossy because__________ .
A．she is expected to lead in her family
B．she is the boss of her company
C．she is a powerful and confident female
D．her father considers her that way
【3】The underlined part "under fire” most probably means____________.
A．certainly replaced
B．wrongly applied
C．strongly criticized
D．eagerly expected
【4】How does the author sound when referring to the campaign against "bossy"?
A．Objective.
B．Angry.
C．Doubtful
D．Optimistic.

26、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。
When I was in school I remembered my best friend called me late night on Saturday to invite me to her birthday party next day. I was very happy and very excited to go there but I needed to ask permission from my parents. I went to my dad’s room and slowly asked him, “Dad, tomorrow is my best friend’s birthday party and I really want to go.” Dad said, “OK I don’t mind but ask your mom.” I went to Mom and said, “Dear Mom.” Suddenly she replied, “What do you want?” I was shocked, “Mom, how do you know that I need to say something?” She said, “The way you are talking shows that.” and she smiled. I asked her, “Mom, I want to go to my best friend’s birthday party tomorrow.” She said, “OK, you can go but you have to be back before 10.”
Then my preparations started. I made a card for my friend and started selecting cloths for the party, and finally everything was completed and I went to sleep and only one thing was there in my mind all the time THE PARTY. I was waiting for the night to end and the party to begin. Next morning, my mom was surprised to see me. No alarm, no Mom’s warming, just I woke up by myself.
The whole day had passed and now it was party time. My dad dropped me in my friend’s place and told me that he would be back at 10. I said, “OK, OK” and I ran away. I enjoyed a lot at the party. My friend loved that card which I made for her and everybody in the party loved my dress. I was on cloud nine. We had dinner, we played so many games and it was 10 finally. I remembered my mom’s advice that I should be back till 10.
