On November 7, Lewis Pugh completed a one-kilometer swim 'in the freezing waters of King
Edward Cove, off South Georgia in Antarctica. He was wearing only his swimming glasses, cap
and speedos!
Pugh is an advocate for our oceans and seas, working to protect these ecosystems with their
large diversity of marine life. When asked why he doesn't wear a wetsuit, Lewis says, "I ask world
leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are
difficult and unpopular. If I'm asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a
wetsuit would not send the right message."
It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in Antarctica’ where the
water averaged about 1.6 degrees Celsius: He says that his body can only tolerate about 20
minutes in the freezing waters before it starts shutting down. As he swims, his body temperature
steadily drops, which in turn causes his muscle control to drop, slowing him down. When he is
done with his swim, his support team rushes him to a hot shower and it takes almost an hour for
his body temperature to return to normal.
Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swirl in such cold
waters. Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing water can drown within minutes
because of the physical shock experienced by the body. Pugh says he trained for six months before
this swim.
This is not the first time that Lewis has swum in dangerous conditions. In 2007, he swam one
kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting Arctic ice due to climate change. In
2015, he swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarctica's Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to
help set up a marine reserve there.24. Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuit?
A. To show his bravery. B. To swim faster.
C. To build up his body. D. To win public attention.
25. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. His body temperature. B. The water. C. His body. D. The water temperature.
26. What's Pugh's advice about swimming in freezing waters?
A. One should be expert at swimming.
B. One must be fully prepared.
C. One should be ready to take on challenges.
D. One must be used to long-dunce swimming.
27. What may be the best tide for the text?
A. Lewis Pugh: swimming for a cause B. How to survive a swim in cold waters.
C. How to prepare for extreme swimming D. Lewis Pugh: achieving the impossible
C
You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often associated with
weakness. Fear is something to be avoided.
But that's not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us.
Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we wouldn't know to run away from a tiger or step
back from a cliff.
In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan
State University said that a healthy fear or crime keeps teenagers away, from potentially
dangerous people, places, and activities.
Fear makes, us jump, scream and sweat. But Interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel
fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long, lines far a scary roller
coaster ride.
Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids.
Fear fills our brain with healthy chemical substances, especially endorphins and dopamine,
and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr.
In addition, when you're scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond
with each other."Watch people walking out of a haunted house, and you'll see lots of smiles and high fives,"
Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging
trips and physical activities to build up team spirit. People experience and deal with fear in
different ways. If you happen to be a "coward" who gets scared easily, don't worry. There is some
evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations.
Kerr said that things like giving a presentation in front of your class or performing in a school
play help build a sort of endurance to fear that makes us more confident.
"You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you are better
able to work through it during tense situations," said Kerr.
So learn to love yore fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be.
28. What is the article mainly about?
A. The benefits fear brings us. B. Different ways to dial with fear.
C: People's misunderstandings about fear. D. A new study about fear.
29. Why is a scary roller coaster ride helpful to people according to the article?
A. It improves people's ability to survive in the modem world.
B. It makes people less cowardly and more confident in life.
C. It teaches people how to keep away from things that could be dangerous.
D. It causes the brain to produce chemicals that make people happy and excited.
30. The underlined phrase "bond with" in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to .
A. pay attention to B. fight against C. get closer to D. be more careful with
31. What is the right attitude toward fear according to the article?
A. Enjoy healthy fear occasionally. B. Experience it as often as possible.
C. Consider it as a sign of weakness. D. Avoid being involved in scary situations.
D
Food picked up just a few seconds after being dropped is less likely to contain bacteria than if
it is left for longer periods of time, according to the results of research carried out at Aston
University's School of Life and Health Sciences. The data that they got suggest there may be some
scientific basis of the "5-second rule"-the belief abort it being fine to eat food that has only had
contact with the floor for five seconds or less. Although people have brig followed the "5-second
rule", until now it was unclear whether it actually helped. The study, undertaken by final year Biology students and led by Anthony Hilton, Professor of
Microbiology at Aston University, monitored the transfer of the common bacteria from a variety,
of indoor floor types like carpet, cement floor to toast, pasta biscuit and a stinky sweet when
contact was made from 3 to 30 seconds. The results showed that: time is a significant factor in the
transfer of bacteria from a floor surface to a piece of food, and the type of flooring the food has
been dropped on has an effect, with bacteria least likely to transfer from carpeted surfaces and
most likely to transfer from cement flooring surfaces to moist foods waking contact for more than
5 seconds. Professor Hilton said, "Consuming food dropped on the floor still carries an infection
risk as it very much depends on which bacteria are present on the floor at the time."
The Aston team also carried out a survey of the number of people who employ the
"five-second rule". The survey showed that: 87% of the people surveyed said they would eat food
dropped on the floor, or already have done so. 55% of those that would, or have eaten food
dropped on the floor are women. 81% of the women who would eat food from the floor would
follow the "5-second rule". Professor Hilton added, "Our study showed that a surprisingly large
majority of people are happy to consume dropped food, with women the most likely to do so. But
they are also more likely to follow the "5-second rule", which our research has shown to be more
than an old wives' tale."
32. Which kind of food is not used in the study?
A. Bread B. Italian noodles C. Chips D. Sticky candy
33. How did Professor Hilton feel after analyzing how many people chose to eat dropped food?
A. Puzzled B. Upset C. Satisfied D. Astonished
34. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Most men would follow the "5-second" rule.
B. People who would ca food dropped on the floor are in the minority.
C. Bacteria are easier to transfer from cement floors than carpeted surfaces.
D. Food dropped on the cement floor is less likely to be polluted than that on the carpet.
35. What can be learned from the passage?
A. The food which is dropped on the floor can be eaten safely.
B. The research may provide some scientific evidence to the "5-second rule".
C. The bacteria have no negative effect on the safety of food.D. People surveyed in the research are willing to accept thee idea.

When living out our daily lives, we're often filled with too many choices from different
things around us, telling us how we can improve ourselves. 36 .
Too much choice is never ideal
We're often told that having more would lead to happiness when in actual fact, the opposite
occurs. The key to avoiding this would be to remove everything that's currently distracting you.
Get rid of distractions
Looking back, the time in which I was the most confused and frustrated was when I had an
abundance of choices. 37 . Rather than stopping and reviewing my current circumstances, I
knew that I had to remove these distractions.
38
After you gain clarity about your current issues, it is now necessary to write milestones for
yourself. Having a higher purpose will drive us to improve ourselves better. Look to create larger
aims for yourself firmly as it will help guide you in the direction you've always wanted.
Appreciate what you currently have
39 It's human nature to overlook the things we currently have and to feel dissatisfied
with them due to having obtained them. Find appreciation in the things you have and in the life
you currently lead.
Be willing to fail
It is often said that if you've never failed, you've never lived. And this is something I
definitely agree with. Don't let fear stop you and learn to challenge yourself. 40
