24、 Thomas Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be in the dark. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the motion picture camera and over1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.
Thomas Edison was born in 1847. He attended school for only three months. His mother taught him at home, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. He started experimenting at a young age.
When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on train. He did experiments on the train in his spare time. Unluckily, his first work experience did not end well. They fired him when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the train. Then Edison worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time in experimenting his first patent(专利权) in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity.
Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but he thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He always worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.

25、Every hour spent watching TV, DVDs and videos as an adult reduces life by almost 22 minutes, a study suggests. And watching TV for an average of six hours a day can cut short your life by five years.
The researchers say they only want to tell people how dangerous watching TV for long time is. And they want to find out the relationship between watching TV and life.
Writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, they concluded(得出结论): TV watching time may have something to do with a loss of life.
The researchers, from the University of Queensland, used information from the Australian illnesses and lifestyle study, together with population and death rate data. But they said, “While we used Australian data, the effects in other countries are likely to be comparable(可比较的). In the UK, the average amount of time spent watching TV is four hours a day compared with five hours in the United States.
Some American researchers said that watching TV for long time can lead premature(过早的)death. Other study suggests that sitting for long can cause overweight and it can also make people take more junk foods.
England’s Chief Medical Officer, Sally Davies, says, “Physical activity offers huge benefits. We hope these studies will help more people realize that there are many ways to get exercise.” Her study shows that exercising for just 15 minutes a day can increase your life by up to three years.
Stop watching TV, sit up and take more exercise!
【1】Watching TV for ___________ a week can make a loss of five’s years’ life.
A. 154 minutes B. 42 hours C. 70 hours D. 154 hours
【2】The researchers want the public to know ____________.
A. the usage of watching TV. B. the advantages of watching TV.
C. the importance of watching TV. D. the danger of watching TV.
【3】The research data comes from___________.
A. the U.K. B. the U.S. C. Australia D. France

26、When watching sports events, we often notice athletes wearing earphones on while preparing in the locker room or entering the stadium. They keep their eyes shut, and gently nod along the beats. It seems the music is giving them power and cheering them up for the competition. We sometimes do the same. You might have a list of favorite songs for your morning exercises. But is there any science behind such practices?
According to a recent research, it turns out there is. Music actually does make us feel powerful, but not all songs have the same effect.
The research was led by Dennis Hsu of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwester University in the US. His team had people listen to 31 songs of different types. The listeners felt powerful after listening to some songs, such as Queen’s We Will Rock You and 2 Unlimited Get Ready for This.
Researchers also found that high-power music made people want to take control in social events and come first in competition. That matters a lot in sports. “It’s commonly said that sports are 90 percent mental and only 10 percent physical,” The Huffington Post reported.
Great athletes know this idea well. NBA player Kobe Bryant, for example, often puts on big headphones and even falls into deep thought to boost his game and reduce his anxiety.
As for the reason for music’s magical power, Hsu’s team came up with one possible explanation: when people hear music that expresses a sense of power, they mimic(模拟) these feelings in their mind.
When choosing music, we also need to look at the type of music, according to researchers.
In previous research by the Music in Exercise and Sports Group at Brunei University in London, they found that pop was perfect for slower, more repetitive-type tasks. If you’re warming up or cooling down after exercises, pop songs are the correct choice.
Dance music was found to be best suitable to strength and weight training because it’s “fast and rhythmical(有节奏感的).”
During high-intensity(高强度的)workouts, though, you’d better not listen to rock. Its different changes in tempo(节拍)can affect your rhythm.
【1】What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? ________
A.To introduce favorite songs for morning exercises.
B.To lead in the topic that music matters in sports.
C.To give an example of athletes’daily life.
D.To explain how to choose music.
【2】According to the passage, Dennis Hsu probably agrees that ________.
A.listening to music always makes athletes relaxed
B.powerful music can make people produce similar feelings in their mind
C.the result of a game is mainly affected by the physical condition of the players
D.most athletes still don’t know the effects of high-power music on their performance
【3】The underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A.control
B.lose
C.continue
D.improve
【4】What can we learn from the passage? ________
A.Pop music is a reasonable choice for high-intensity workouts.
B.Rock music helps people keep their rhythms when exercising.
C.People are advised to listen to pop music before and after exercise.
D.People should dance to music while doing strength and weight training.
27、根据短文内容,判断句子正(T)误(F)。
What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping from a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It’s important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not elevators.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may come into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may get into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof . From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto hard ground might end in injury. But shes and grass can help to break a fall.
【1】It’s serious to know how to escape from a fire.
【2】In a fire we can use elevators to come down.
【3】Windows can’t be used when you are waiting for help.
【4】Doors must all be open so that smoke can come into the room.
【5】The passage may help save your life in a fire.
