24、 Running in Cold Weather Improves Performance
Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air. However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance.
Many people say running in the winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your body loses less water than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. This information comes from sports scientists at St. Mary’s University in London.
John Brewer is a professor of applied sport science at St. Mary’s. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber”. The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners. “We’ve got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, we’ve changed the conditions to recreate the summer or winter and we’ve got them to run a 10km under both of those conditions and taken various measurements(测量)on each runner while they’ve been completing their 10km.”.
They found that the runners lost water by around 30.38% more in those hotter conditions. Besides, Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating(出汗). He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin. “That heat builds up in the body and can be really damaging unless you can lose that heat. And it’s much harder to lose heat when the environment is warm as well.” And they found how they felt their perception of heat-was around a third lower when they were running in cold conditions. The body does not have to work as hard to pump blood to the skin’s surface Several websites note that the most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keeping as dry as possible is the most important when exercising in low temperatures. So, if you are a runner, don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running
【1】According to the passage, John Brewer probably agrees that ________
A.people should run 10,000meters in winter
B.running in winter is good for your heart
C.people who run in winter like to wear thick clothing
D.running in cold conditions is better than in warm
【2】What can we infer from the passage ________
A.Running can help us lose heat B.Running in cold weather is beneficial to our body
C.The heat can damage our body D.The body does not have to work to pump blood
【3】What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage ________
A.To introduce a research on running by Brewer

25、 You may see some herons (鹭) in the park using bread or insects as a tool to catch fish. This is just one of the ways in which birds have changed their living habits because of humans. Now, a new study has found that birds that are able to change their behaviors in this way are less likely to die out. These changes may include adding new food to their diet, developing new hunting skills, or living in a new environment. These new behaviors have long been considered advantages in avoiding extinction(灭绝).
To test this on a world level, scientists studied reports of new behaviors among bird species. The study includes more than 3,800 new behaviors among8,600 species of birds. They concluded that the more new hunting skills the birds master, the larger population they will have. In other words, extinction risk reduces as the number of new skills increases.
However, it is stressed that innovation (革新) can only protect birds from changes in their living place, but not from over-hunting or harm from other species. It should be noticed that some animals are very dangerous to some birds: snakes can attack little birds, some hungry mice stole birds' eggs. Above all, humans often mean the greatest danger to birds. They always take up too much space, cut down millions of trees and even cause various kinds of pollution.
This shows that, unlike what is usually believed, the ability to innovate protects animals from some but not all of the rapid changes in the environment.
【1】Why do birds change their living habits?
A.Because they like their new habits. B.Because they want to use tools.
C.Because humans ask them to do that D.Because human activities affect them.
【2】According to the passage, birds that ____________ may not die out soon.
A.feed on fewer kinds of food B.have a little food every day
C.get enough food in some new ways D.dislike to live in a noisy place
【3】Which of the following shows the result of the study in Paragraph 2?
A. B.
C. D.
【4】Which paragraph shows the harm from other species to birds?
A.Paragraph 1. B.Paragraph 2. C.Paragraph 3. D.Paragraph 4.
【5】What's the main idea of the passage?
A.Humans often help birds to change themselves.
B.Innovation in hunting skills has an effect on birds' living.
C.The ability of innovation can protect birds from all danger.
D.Birds can change their hunting skills in the new environment.
26、Few kids today are taught the value of sympathy(同情心). It seems so hard for people to show their love and care towards others and to actually understand what others are going through.
As a child I was taught to go out of my way to make someone else happy. My mom told me to say at least one kind word to someone else every day. I admit(承认) that it wasn't very easy to do. But as soon as you see the look of happiness in that person's eyes, you just want to do as much as you can do.
I had an experience with a guy whom people were always making fun of. Every time I saw that happening, I knew in my heart that it was wrong. I decided I would try to be his friend. I started walking with him and introducing him to people around us. I was making him happy by just doing that. And I loved the fact that I was making a difference in his life.
After a while I realized that he wasn't the kind of person everybody thought he was. We are still good friends today. People have almost completely stopped making fun of him. But he is still what he was. What changed was the attitudes of others towards him.
From this experience I’ve learned to be more loving toward other people. What I did for my friend was so easy. And at the same time I had a lot of fun. So I hope that everyone can say a kind word to someone else at least once a day. I can promise you it will be the best feeling you can ever get.
One kind word can make someone’s day brighter.

27、 Though water does not seem all that exciting, it is very valuable. The Ancient Greek people believed all the fresh water on the Earth came from a river called Okeanos. They imagined that clouds collected rain from its magical waters (海域). The reason they believed in this is because water is important for humans, Doctors say that without water we would die in about one week.
There are two places that our fresh water comes from. The first is surface water, which includes all the water in lakes or rivers. The second is groundwater, which refers to all the water that comes from under the ground.
Water must be treated before it can come out of the tap (水龙头). First, anything harmful in the water must be removed. Then a cleaning agent (净化剂) is added. This will destroy any remaining germs (细菌).
There have been reports of factories in China letting waste water leak into the ground. Industrial waste water is a big problem as it can pollute our drinking water. Even if the water is treated, it is unfit for drinking. The Ministry of Environmental Protection has improved the water in China since 2004. In 2011, 76 percent of water was safe for dinking. But treated water should always be boiled before drinking.
Some countries have more fresh water resources (资源) and this means that it is easier for them to treat their water.
A report from a British Consulting Firm called Maplecroft found that Iceland has the best fresh water supply in the world. That is because most of the tap water in Iceland comes from pure mountain springs. No treatment of any kind is required before Icelandic people drink their delicious water.
【1】What is the main topic of the first paragraph?
A.An Ancient Greek story. B.The importance of water.
C.Okeanos the river. D.Clouds and water.
【2】Where does our fresh water come from?
A.From surface, water and lakes or rivers. B.From surface water and groundwater.
C.From a river called Okeanos. D.From the groundwater and Iceland.

A.It comes directly from groundwater.
B.It comes directly from lakes or rivers.
C.The cleaning agent in it is bad for our health.
D.It must be treated before it comes out of the tap.
【4】What do the underlined words "leak into" in the fourth paragraph mean in Chinese?
A.填满 B.覆盖 C.渗漏 D.倒入
【5】Iceland has the best fresh water supply in the world because ________.
A.they always boil the water before drinking

The first step is to accept social invitations even if you don’t want to go.
“It’s not enough for people just to get in 【7】 /tʌtʃ/ with others online. That’s because most people don’t show their true selves there,” said Dr. Cacioppo, one of this study’s scientists. Another step is to get an action plan. As “ actions speak【8】 (loud) than words”, people need to be active to 【9】 /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/ with others. They also need to meet people with the same interests. Also, they should try to expect the best from each activity. After all, “tomorrow is【10】 [əˈnʌðə] day”.
