I believe in getting lost. Lost in the text of the novel that is particular to your thoughts and feelings that
you consider special. Lost in the song that reminds you of your childhood summers, feeling the warm wind
brushing against your arm as you ride your bicycle. Lost in the sip of cappuccino, idling the day away. Lost
in the unprepared Sunday Drive, with no destination. You're free to wander, take paths that you've never
noticed, discover places you haven't been. Then off the path to lead you back home, leaving you to test
directions and alertly absorb your surroundings in order to find your way back; that land of lost
I get lost daily; whether it's in thought, or the unplanned drive I just decided to go on. Getting Jost is an
adventurous learning experience that trains you how to be more aware of your surroundings. A few of my
most favorite memories involve physically getting lost That one late night trip back to Ludington I took with
a few friends. We finally realized we were going the wrong way, almost three hours out of our way. Another
time, I got lost in the DeVos Place and then the parking garage for two hours solid. These are nervous
experiences that get your anxiety pumping. You’re fearful that you won't be safe, but it always works itself
out in the end. Physically losing yourself prepares you for how you manage when you emotionally or
mentally lose yourself.
You don't always have to be lost in a literal sense to "get 1ost" and some of the time, losing yourself
may not be a positive experience. There are times where I lose sight of who I am. While lost, I test out
metaphorical paths and sometimes they turn out to be the right direction and other times they are a wrong
turn, I make note of these wrong turns, so I can avoid them further on up the road of finding my way back to
who I am.
In Walden, Henry David Thoreau wrote "Not till we are lost, in other words not till we have lost the
world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations."
Getting lost fuels my curiosity and teaches me lessons on finding my way back to the right track, I believe in
getting Jost through day dreams, a misplacement, adventures, and difficult times when you make discoveries
about yourself and the atmosphere around you. In order to truly find yourself I believe that you should put
down the map and get wonderfully lost.
24. The author believes in getting lost in _________.
A. reading a well-received novel
B. listening to a song recalling the past
C. hanging out with friends in a cafe
D. going on a well-planned trip
25. The author mentions the experiences of physically getting lost in order to say .
A. physically getting lost is most difficult to deal with
B. we can enjoy trips while physically getting lost
C. people are easy to get physically lost in our daily life,D. we realize our surroundings while physically getting lost
26. Words from Henry David Thoreau imply that getting lost .
A. enables us to look within and to see outward
B. pulls people back into the previous moment
C. enables us to remind ourselves of adventures
D. helps us enjoy ourselves wherever we are
27, Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Experiences of Getting Lost B. Wonderfully Getting Lost
C. Causes of Getting Lost D. Physically Getting Lost
C
You need only look at a professional cyclist to appreciate the potential effects of cycling on the body.
But what about the mind? It's a question that has long challenged anyone who has wondered how riding a
bike can offer what feels close to a state of emptying your mind.
Dr, John Ratey believes cycling increases "the chemistry in your brain that makes you feel calm/* and
that carrying out multiple operations while cycling can be an effective treatment. As was shown in a German
study involving 115 children, half of them did cycling that involved complex movements, while the rest
performed more straightforward exercises with the same aerobic (有氧的) demands. Both groups did well
in concentration tests, but the "complex" group did a lot better.
There have been other interesting findings too* In 2013, Dr. Jay Alberts rode a tandem bicycle, a bicycle
built for two riders sitting one behind the other, across the American state of Ohio with a friend who has
Parkinson's disease, a condition effecting the nervous system. The idea was to raise awareness of the disease,
but to' the surprise of both riders, the patient showed significant improvements. Dr. Jay Alberts then scanned
the brains of 26 Parkinson's patients during and after an eight-week exercise programme using bikes. Half
the patients were allowed to ride at their own paces, while the others were pushed harder. All patients
improved, and the group which was pushed harder showed particularly significant increases in connectivity
between areas of intelligence responsible for functions such as walking and picking things up.
We don't know how this happens, but there is more evidence of the link between Parkinson and
cycling. A video on the Internet shows a 58-year-old man with severe Parkinson's. At first, we watch the
patient trying to walk. He can barely stand and his hands shake uncontrollably. Then we see the man on a
bicycle being supported by others. With a push, he's off, cycling past cars with perfect balance. Doctors
don't fully understand this discrepancy either, but say that cycling may act as some sort of action that
helped the patient's brain.
The science of cycling is incomplete, but perhaps the most remarkable thing for the everyday rider is
that it can require no conscious focus at all). The mindlessness of cycling can not only make us happier,
but also leave room for other thoughts. On the seat of my bike, I've solved problems at work and made life
decisions, as, I'm sure, have countless others.
28. What does the study described in Paragraph 2 suggest?
A. Cycling has a good effect on physical fitness.B. The tasks involved in cycling can be hard for children.
C. Lack of exercise like cycling causes lack of concentration.
D. Cycling can improve the ability to focus attention on a task.
29. Studies of people with Parkinson's show that__.
A. cycling does more good if sufferers put more effort into it
B. cycling on tandem bikes has a better effect on the disease
C. not every person with Parkinson's will benefit from cycling
D. social awareness is more important for Parkinson's sufferers
30. What does the underlined part "this discrepancy" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Why Parkinson's affects some people and not others.
B. Why someone with Parkinson's can cycle but not walk,
C. How cycling could be included in treatment for Parkinson's.
D. How a link between cycling and Parkinson's was discovered.
31. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. The effect of cycling is not yet fully understood.
B. Cycling is believed to be both complex and mindless.
C. Cycling has a significant influence on people's mind.
D. People may be more, intelligent with the help of cycling.
D
Terrible working conditions have a long tradition. Early industry was marked by its dirty,
dangerous factories. In the early 20th century workers were forced into dull, repetitive tasks by the needs of
the production line. However, in a service-based economy, it makes sense that focusing on worker morale
might be a much, more fruitful approach.
Proving this is more difficult. But that is the aim of a new study targeting workers at British Telecom.
Three academics— Clement of Erasmus University, Rotterdam^ of Oxford and George Ward of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology-surveyed 1,800 sales workers at 11 British call centres. All each
employee had to do was click on a simple emoji each week to indicate their level of happiness. Those workers
were charged with selling customers broadband, telephone and television deals. In total the authors collected
adequate responses from 1,161 people over a six -month period.
The results were striking. Workers made 13% more sales in weeks when they were happy than when
they were unhappy. This was not because they were working longer hours; in happy weeks, they made more
calls per hour and were more efficient at turning those calls into sales* The tricky part, however, is
determining the direction of causation (因果关系).Workers may be happier when they are selling more
because they expect a bigger bonus.
The academics tried a clever way to get round this causation problem by examining a very British issue-
the weather. Workers turned out to be less happy on days when the weather in their local area was bad and
this unhappiness converted into lower sales. Since they were making national calls, not local ones, it is
unlikely that customer unhappiness with the weather was driving the sales numbers. So it was worker mood driving sales, not the other way round.
Even if this reasoning proves to be correct, businesses may not find it of comfort. The academics point
out that "what we are not able to do is making an official decision as to whether investing in improving
employee happiness makes good business sense". It is possible that the costs of such investment might
outweigh any gains in productivity.
More research is clearly needed. But there is evidence that happier workers are : good news for
shareholders (持股人),as well as productivity. Analysts found the firms where workers gave the best
reviews easily outperformed those where employees gave a thumbs down.
32. According to the passage, worker morale means ___.
A. enthusiasm and cheerfulness
B. companions and colleagues
C. competence and productivity
D. income and welfare
33. What is the major aim of the study mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To analyze the possible factors that affect work efficiency and achievement.
B. To test the level of satisfaction of the workers in British sales industry.
C. To examine the relationship between happiness and productivity of workers.
D. To prove that people's attitude toward life affects their work performance.
34. The academics examined the weather to prove_____.
A. sales decline could have been driven by bad weather
B. workers suffer mood swings due to weather change
C. customer unhappiness may result in poor sales numbers
D. sales performance is influenced by workers* mood
35. From the passage, we can learn that_____.
A. companies should try every means to enhance employee happiness
B. employees need to have the chance to rate the companies they work for
C. the workers' happiness is closely related to a company's productivity
D. working conditions may have a great impact on work performance

Two TV shows highlight multiple roles of independent women
This summer has seen two hit 61 (programme) — TV drama Nothing But Thirty and reality show
Sisters Who Make Waves. Both concern a similar group: women close to or just above 30, an age 62 : many
in China believe, women enter a new stage of life.
The two shows' 63 (popular) is understandable. Nothing But Thirty has contributed to more than one
hundred 64 (wide) discussed topics on Weibo, a Tweeter-like social media platform in China. 65 (enjoy)
similar high audience rating, Sisters Who Make Waves has played a key role in raising the share prices of its
production company, Mango Excellent Media. Rather than beautiful girls in the bloom of youth, the reality
show, in a break from tradition, 66 (focus) on the charm of mature women. From beautiful but naive women
falling for rich men to independent women, the change in female characters in TV dramas and films reflects
the change in public attitudes 67 women's role in the real world. 68 , in Nothing But Thirty, women's
social value 69 (base) on wealth and invincible (不可战胜的)aura in the workplace is out of sync (不同
步)with reality and have thus upset many viewers.
Given their anxieties, social roles and importance, women in 70 thirties need to be better understood.

Last week, our school organized a Traditional Culture Festival what turned out to be a great success.
Upon hearing the news, we were excited and decide to make Hanfu with newspapers. First, we searched the
Internet by Hanfu's original culture and different styles. With the information being collected, we started to
design our own Hanfu. After a couple of attempt, our design was finally created. Immediate, we got down to
work. We cut the newspapers, sticking the pieces together and even colored our work. Finally, when our
show time came, the audience cheered but even got onto our feet with wild applause. This activity gave us
strong sense of achievement. More importantly, we gained a lot of pride in and knowledge about our
traditional culture.
