Center for Architecture Camp
Young New Yorkers who never stop to be amazed by skyscrapers can imagine and build their
own models － after they've learned how to handle the design challenges of really tall structures.
Similar five-day programs exist for tree houses and bridges, and other offerings allow future
architects to study digital design using 3-D computer modeling or old-school freehand drawing. For
the latter, campers explore the city for various architectural wonders. Better still, participants take
home the projects they create.
Cooper Hewitt Design Camp
Where better to improve your young creative skills in the country? Two educators guide each
25-kid class through a project that teaches design vocabulary and a four-step design process:
describing problems， creating ideas， prototyping(原型设计) and testing. Visits to galleries and
exhibitions are included, as are fun outdoor activities At the end of each weeklong course, students
exhibit their works publicly. Campers must bring their own lunch and snacks.
Arts Summer Art Colony
Sign your kids up for an amazing week-long art summer program led by Children’s Museum of
the Arts' talented Teaching Artists! Choose from one of two locations and let your kids dive into
cool concentrations like photography, painting, film, illustration, printmaking fashion design and
more.
Staten Island Children's Museum
If your child would rather spend time at the crafts table than playing sports or engaging in
outdoor activities, send them to this weeklong arts-centric camp. Future Frida Kahlos can discover
different techniques and styles of art by studying the methods and works of famous artists who have
come before them, such as Mark Rothko, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock. Then,

Nick Prosser, a 28-year-old New Zealander, has been stuttering( 口 吃 )for as long as he can
remember, but he recently discovered that speaking in an Irish accent makes his speech disorder
disappear.
The young New Zealander claims he discovered the simple cure to his stutter completely by
accident, while trying different accents with a friend for fun. When he tried the Irish accent, both he
and his friend were amazed that his stutter almost vanished. They were able to have a long
conversation without him stuttering at all, which had never happened before. He just couldn’t
believe that something so simple could be the cure to a problem that had seriously affected his
self-confidence ever since he was a child.
“I couldn't believe it. I had been to so many speech therapists who never suggested this
technique,” Prosser said.
Interestingly, Nick has never been to Ireland, but he believes that speaking in an Irish accent
comes naturally for him because of his mother, who comes from an Irish family. He suggests that
people suffering from similar speech disorders try looking at their genealogies(家谱)and attempt to
speak in an accent associated to them. However, local speech specialist Annette Stock said she had
never heard about this technique.“We know as speech language therapists that singing certainly helps with people that have
stutters but you can't just go around singing in your everyday life,” Stock said. “I think that this is
something that works for, him and that’s fine. But in six months' time if it is still working I would be
saying ‘wow that’s amazing’.”
So why does the Irish accent make Prosser’s stutter disappear? No one knows for sure, but Ants
Haines, who has been Nick's barber for years, has an interesting theory: he claims that this way, the
28-year-old spends more time thinking how to pronounce the words, which somehow helps.
24. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “vanished” in paragraph 2?
A Erupted. B. Worsened.
C. Disappeared. D. Functioned
25. What happened to Nick Prosser after he tried the Irish accent?
A. He turned to his friends for their help.
B. He had more faith in himself.
C. He took pride in his language ability.
D. He went to speech therapists for advice.
26. How did Annette Stock react to Nick Prosser's suggestion?
A. She doubted it.
B. She tried to prove it.
C. She was confirmed of it.
D. She was amazed by its effect.
27. What does Ants Haines intend to tell us?
A. His relationship with Nick.
B. His idea of the end of Nick's stutter.
C. His convince in Nick's learning ability.
D. The influence of speaking different accents.

In his widely-read book, Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community,
sociologist Robert Putnam told us a troubling truth: Americans were becoming more disconnected
from each other－and in that isolation(孤独)was deep personal dissatisfaction.
That book came out in 2000, before the age of mobile technology truly took hold Last year, a new book built on the conversation －Ruth Whippman’s America the Anxious: How Our Pursuit of
Happiness Is Creating a Nation of Nervous Wrecks. Whippman looked around at the culture of
self-help, self-care and happiness-seeking in today’s America, saying, “Too often, we are told,
‘Happiness comes from within.’ But what we should understand is, ‘Happiness is other people.’
Study after study shows that good social relationship is a ‘necessary condition for happiness, ’
meaning that humans can’t actually be happy without it.”
Social engagement doesn't have to mean parties or huge circles of friends. As Whippman writes,
“When asked, almost all people consistently report themselves as happier when they are around
other people than when they are alone.” This can mean a quiet cup of tea shared with a trusted friend,
or a small book club, walking group or a movie night with a neighbor.
Christmas Day is a wonderful time to reflect on the power of community, the real joy that comes
from accepting the fact that human beings－whether introverts(性格内向的人) or extroverts－are
born social creatures who thrive(茁壮成长) when we develop relationships in ways that work for us.
As Helen Keller once said, “Alone we can do so. little ； together we can, do so much.”
Together, we can make happiness a daily reality for ourselves and others.
28. What is the attitude de of Robert Putnam and Whippman towards today’s American society?
A. Confident. B. Disapproving. C. Unconcerned. D. Cautious
29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Good social relationship.
B. Whippman's new book.
C. Study after study.
D. The age of mobile technology.
30. How can we achieve true happiness according to Whippman?
A. By attending more parties.
B. By making more friends.
C. By standing in someone else's shoes.
D. By surrounding ourselves with like-minded people.
31. Why is Christmas Day mentioned in the text?
A. To show the popularity of it.
B. To demand more similar festivals.C. To stress the importance of social connection.
D. To call on more people to join in the celebration.
D
Not all negative emotions(消极情绪) are necessarily bad. In fact， they can direct your behavior
in useful ways. If you' re stuck in traffic and running late, anger with the situation might motivate
you to find an alternative route, which will then remove your stress.
Emotions have physiological effects, which can affect your health. Indeed, a new study,
published in Psychology and Aging, shows that high levels of anger are associated with poor health
in older people.
226 adults aged 59－93 took part in the Canadian study Researchers took their blood samples(样
本) to assess levels of chronic(慢性的)low- grade inflammation(炎症) and asked the participants to
report any age-related chronic illnesses they might have. The participants also completed a short
questionnaire about the level of anger or sadness they experienced in three typical days over a
one-week period.
For the analysis, the researchers considered whether age could affect the results. They found
that higher levels of anger were associated with inflammation and ill health in the oldest
participants(aged 80 and above), but not he youngest ones(aged 59－79). Sadness was not associated
with inflammation or ill health in either age group.
To get a fuller understanding of the relationship between negative emotions and health, we need
studies that follow participants for a period of time. Future studies should also take into
consideration other factors(因素) that might be involved, such as other emotions(both positive and
negative), clinical depression, stress and personality.
Although this new research shows a link between emotion and health in older age, we do not
know whether anger causes inflammation and illness or whether health problems make people
angrier.
32. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?
A. Introduce the procedure of the research.
B. Provide some background information.
C. Make some suggestions to the elderly.
D. Emphasize the importance of feelings.33. At what age do higher levels of anger affect health?
A.59. B.69. C.79. D. 89
34. What should we do to know more about the link between negative emotions and health?
A Stay in company with the participants.
B. Observe participants closely for some time.
C. Take other groups of people into consideration.
D. Ask more people to participate in future studies
35. What might be the suitable title for the text?
A Adjusting Our Emotions Is Necessary.
B. Not All Negative Emotions Are Bad.
C. Anger Linked to Illness in Old Age.
D. New Conclusions Make Us Amazed.

选项。
Altitude training is a way of encouraging the body to produce more red blood cells, which can
improve endurance( 耐 力 )when performing activities at lower altitudes. This kind of training
normally involves living at a high altitude and training at a lower one, because the body needs
oxygen to train. 36 Athletes from endurance sports typically benefit from this kind of training,
but its effects will be felt by anyone who has a long stay at a high altitude.
For the purposes of altitude training, an altitude of about 2, 500 meters is desirable but any
relatively high altitude will work. 37 So it is common to use a lower altitude.
38 this is accomplished by using the body’s natural response to needing more oxygen
over a long period of time. There are people who question whether altitude training actually works
by increasing the number of red blood cells. In theory, if one is competing at sea level, the increase
in red blood cells will last for several days. after leaving the high altitude, giving one a competitive
edge. 39
While altitude training is primarily used by athletes who need increased endurance, the desired
effects of high altitudes will be experienced by anyone who travels to a high altitude for a long
period of time. 40 Children who normally live at high altitudes can become very active when brought to low altitudes due to similar effects.
A. Less oxygen makes them hard to breathe.
B. Red cells have been proved to be effective.
C. It's difficult to find altitudes this high that are still fit for training.
D. It can be argued that any positive effects disappear too quickly to be useful.
E. However, it is more common to actually travel to high altitudes in order to train.
F. The purpose of altitude training is to increase the number of red blood cells in the body.
G. Many people experience a great increase in energy when returning from high altitudes.
