Around four years ago, I received a call from the principal of our school as to the “Parents View” talk the next morning. He asked me to speak to the group. After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage. I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”
I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn’t even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, Public Speaking.
After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speakers faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I come again next time.
Around one month later, I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation. This time I was feeling comfortable. My speech was not only appreciated by the principal
as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged and praised my efforts.
After delivering successfully, I became more confident. I said to myself, “If I can speak in front of such a learned audience, like the principal who educates others, I can now speak in front of others too.”
I started delivering lectures in my plan, on various topics like Self Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has become a passion for me. I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.
( )24. Why did the author have bad feelings before the speech?
A. he feared he couldn't perform it properly.
B. he had got a high fever before that.
C. he regretted accepting the invitation.
D. he disliked the idea of giving a lecture.
( )25. What does the underlined part “ominous apprehensions” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Unlucky opportunities. B. Curious views.
C. Negative ideas. D. Happy comments.
( )26. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. Necessity is the mother of invention.
B. Nothing is to be got without pains but poverty.
C. Knowledge makes humble, ignorance makes proud.
D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
( )27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Public Speaking Makes a Man Embarrassed.
B. Principal Provides the Best Chances.
C. Practice Makes a Man a Better Speechmaker.
D. Spoken English Develops in Speeches.
C
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 heart rate and the body’s dehydration (脱水) levels are lower 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 10,000 meters 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 replicate the summer or winter and we’ve got them to run a 10km under both of those conditions and taken various measurements on each runner whilst they’ve been completing their 10km.”
Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through droplets of sweat. He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin.
( )28. What can we know about running in winter?
A. It improves the function of body.
B. It increases pressure of the body.
C. It makes your heart rate higher.
D. It needs more water than in summer.
( )29. What can we know about the research according to the text?
A. Researchers interviewed the subjects.
B. Subjects were asked to run in winter and summer.
C. Subjects built the “environmental chamber”.
D. Biological measurements of the runners were recorded.
( )30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “replicate” in Paragraph 7?
A. Combine. B. Copy. C. Remember. D. Decorate.
( )31. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Environmental Chamber
B. The Way of Losing Heat
C. Running in Cold Weather Improves Performance
D. Biological Measurements of the Runners
D
Spending money on time-saving services reduces stress and boosts(增进)happiness,according to a new research, but shockingly, few of us do it.
Whillans, a professor at HBS said, “ Buying time helps to protect us from the stress in our lives caused by time pressure, and the feeling that we don’ t have enough minutes in the day to complete our tasks. ’’
The effect was clearest in the Canadian experiment, in which 60 working adults were given $40 to spend in two different ways. One weekend, they were told to spend the money on a material purchase—a gift for themselves. The next weekend, they were instructed to spend the $40 on anything that saved them time,from paying the neighbor ’ s kid to run errands (跑腿)to taking an Uber instead of a bus.
“On the day they made the time-saving purchase, they felt happier, in a better mood, and lower feelings of time stress than on the day they bought a material purchase,’’ said Whillans.
The biggest surprise to the researchers was how few people would spend money on time-saving services. When they asked 98 working adults how they would spend a
“windfall” of $40,only two percent named a purchase that would save them time.
“ One reason,’’ said Whillans, “ is that we’ re very bad at remembering how much we hate doing certain tasks once the suffering has passed. That makes us less likely to take active steps to avoid that overburdened feeling in the future. ” But another possible cause is good old-fashioned guilt. “If you feel guilty about getting someone to clean your house for you, then you might get less happiness from outsourcing (外包)that task,” said Whillans,“ or you might just be less likely to spend your money in that way. ’’
( )32.In the Canadian experiment, the participants_____.
A.were divided into two groups
B.were given $ 40 every two weeks
C.were asked to give money to a neighbor’s kid
D.were asked to spend the money in different ways
( )33.According to the author, what can make people less time-stressed?
A.Paying much for a concert ticket.
B.Taking a regular bus to get to work.
C.Employing someone to clean the garden.
D.Buying themselves an expensive present.
( )34.When it comes to spending money on ‘‘buying time”, .
A.no people would like to do it
B.a small percentage of people choose to do it
C.more people will do it if extra money is given
D.most people like the idea but don ’ t practice it in life
( )35.What do the underlined words “that overburdened feeling” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A.The good old-fashioned guilt.
B.The feeling of spending money on goods.
C.The stress of having someone clean your house.
D.The discomfort when completing tasks we hate doing.

Guide for Teenagers
The teenage years can be tough, and it’s normal to feel sad every now and then. But if these feelings don’t go away or become so intense that you can’t handle them, you may be suffering from depression. 36
Try not to isolate yourself
When you’re depressed, you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything. Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult, but isolating yourself only makes depression worse. 37 Spend time with friends, especially those who are active.
Keep your body healthy
Making healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your mood. Ever heard of a "runner’s high"? Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression, so get involved in sports, ride your bike, or take a dance class. Any activity helps! 38 As for food, make sure you’re feeding your mind with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Avoid alcohol and drugs.
You maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a "mood boost," even if just for a short time. However, substance use can not only make depression worse, but can cause you to become more depressed. 39 You will need special treatment for your substance problem.
40
Stress and worry can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming. In addition, if you have a health concern you feel you can’t talk to your parents about, see a doctor. A health professional can help you approach your parents and guide you toward appropriate treatment. If you’re dealing with relationship, friendship, or family problems, talk to an adult you trust.
A. Ask for help if you are stressed.
B. Even a short walk can be beneficial.
C. Turn to your parents for help.
D. As you get out into the world, you may find yourself feeling better.
E. In short, drinking and taking drugs will make you feel worse---not better---in the long run.
F. The more exercise you do, the healthier you will be.
G. Help is available and you have more power than you think.
