BWhen Boris left school, he could not find a job. He tried hard and pestered ( 纠缠)his relatives,
but they had problems of their own. He answered advertisements until he could not afford to
buy any more stamps. Boris grew annoyed, then depressed, then a little hardened. Still he went
on trying and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all.
“Why don't you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him. “The world is a
money-locker. You'd better find a way of opening it.”
“But what can I do?”
“Get out and have a look round,” advised his uncle in a vague sort of way. “See what people
want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.”
Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end.
Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers
and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit. A few months later, he found that he
had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they
were all no good:in the wrong position,too expensive or with some other snag(障碍).But at
long last, he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate(土地,地区) where there were
plenty of customers but no competition.
Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair scooters and motorcycles. Slowly but
surely the profits increased and the business developed. At last, Boris had managed to open the
money-locker and found bank notes and gold coins inside.
4. Which of the following would be the BEST title for the passage?
A. Goodwill is the key to success
B. The world is a money-locker
C. No education, no future
D. Difficulty of starting a small business
5. Boris started his career by________.
A. cycling around the town
B. developing a waste ground
C. repairing cycles
D. buying empty shops
6. Boris finally chose an empty shop on a new estate because________.
A. it was not so expensive
B. he had a lot of old customers there
C. he could make good use of his skills there
D. there were good opportunities there
7. We can infer from the last paragraph that Boris______.
A. still couldn't make good profits
B. set off in a successful career
C. found a lot of gold coins by accident
D. had great difficulty running his business
C
All sports people are under a lot of pressure to win, so they have to be spiritually strong. In the
past, athletes only trained to get physically fit. Today, professional sports psychologists (心理学
家) use scientific techniques to help athletes get spiritually fit, too.
England player Johnny Wilkinson described some of the pressures he had felt. He played very well at the 2003 World Cup but after that he couldn’t play well. He found that he had a terrible
fear of failure. Under the help of sports psychologists, he realized that reality changes depending
on how we look at it and then everything went better.
In team sports, psychologists help players in different ways, one of which is to create a team
spirit. “It’s very difficult to get all the players to think in the same way, but when you see a team
that works as a unit, everything happens naturally and easily,” said Professor Dave Collins, a
sports psychologist.
When there is a team spirit, the players all take responsibility and don’t blame individual players
for mistakes. In this way, they feel more confident and can concentrate better. Sometimes
players are under a lot of pressure in a game. For example, a player may have to take a
punishment kick. To reduce his fear of making a mistake, sports psychologists use a method
called visualization (可视化). Psychologists simply ask players to imagine taking the perfect kick.
When players do this, certain areas of the brain become active. An interesting fact is that they
are the same areas of the brain as when the player takes the real action.
Today, sports psychologists have an important job to do. They help athletes become spiritually fit
and develop a winning outlook. Having a winning outlook really can make the difference
between winning and losing.
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Athletes can’t stay physically fit without enough training.
B. Sports psychologists can control athletes’ mind in the match.
C. Wrong views on success have bad effects on athletes’ health.
D. Some scientific methods have replaced traditional training.
9. Wilkinson felt better as he realized that _______.
A. everything was changing and was difficult to expect
B. things turned to be better when looking at them differently
C. psychology was very important to an athlete like him
D. it was unnecessary whether he could control h is mind
10. What’s the importance of team spirit according to the text?
A. It can increase individuals’ sense of responsibility.
B. It guarantees the perfect performance of everyone.
C. It controls every athlete’s mind when necessary.
D. It makes all athletes more skillful during a match.
11. It can be inferred from the text that _______.
A. sports psychologists always ask athletes to use their imagination
B. the spirits of a psychologist can decide the outlook of a team
C. athletes need to play with psychologists to improve their skills
D. an active attitude usually helps a player do better in real action
D
A new study has discovered that meditation(冥想) and oxygen sport together reduce depression.
The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination,done twice a week for
only two months,reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40 percent.
“We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both
clinically depressed and non-depressed students,” said lead author Dr Brandon Alderman,“It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing
with depression.”
Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive effect in combating depression.
Alderman and Dr Tracey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical
training(MAP) enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative
thoughts defeat them.
Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of
focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport. They were told that if
their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing,enabling
those with depression to accept moment changes in attention.
Shors,who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus—part of the brain
involved in memory and learning—says scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen
sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive.
The idea for the human intervention(干预)came from her laboratory studies,she says,with
the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from
stressful life events.
By learning to focus their attention and exercise,people who are fighting depression can
acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming
recollection of memories from the past,Shors says.
“We know these treatments can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be effective
in improving mental health.”said Alderman.“The good news is that this intervention can be
practiced by anyone at any time and at no cost.”
12.What made the research so different?
A.Adopting a way of meaningful talk.
B.Combining the two ways to treat depression.
C.Treating depression with special medicine.
D.Comparing the depressed with the non-depressed.
13.The underlined word “combating” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “ ”.
A.fighting B.identifying
C.distinguishing D.examining
14.What did the participants do in the research?
A.They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking.
B.They thought quietly and then took exercise.
C.They took exercise longer than they thought.
D.They took exercise while thinking quietly.
15.What is Shors’ main purpose of her studies?
A.To find out certain brain cells of humans.
B.To study the production of new brain cells.
C.To offer people a new method to treat stress.
D.To decide the links between stress and exercise.
