The Perfect Birthday Present

The perfect birthday present
Toby watched the advertisement for the new Super Robot man. It was half man, half machine and could transform into an airplane, a boat, and a racecar.
“Dad! Look!” Toby pointed to the television screen. “That’s what I want for my birthday. Can I get one? Please!”
“We’ll see.” Dad said. “Your birthday is only two weeks away. New toys like this can be hard to find sometimes.”
“Hard to find? But it’s on TV.”
Dad laughed, “That’s what will make it difficult to find. Everyone will be looking to buy it.”
“Everyone?” Toby thought. Well then, he’d tell everyone that he wanted a Super Robot man. Someone would be able to find it then, right?
Before bed, Toby called his grandparents and told them all about the Super Robot man. Then he added a note at the bottom of each party invitation so that all his friends would know he wanted a Super Robot man.
For two weeks, all he talked about was the Super Robot man and all the cool things it could do. His friends and family nodded and smiled as Toby went on and on about how it was the perfect birthday present.
The big day finally came. Toby got a lot of presents. He opened the first present. “A Super Robot man!” Toby was excited, but everyone else looked worried. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
Dad handed him a box. “I think you should open another present.”
Toby opened it. “Another Super Robot man?”
His father handed him more boxes. Each one had a Super Robot man. Toby laughed. “I guess I got what I asked for.” He handed an action figure to each of his friends. “Now we all have one. Let’s go try them out.”
“You’re not upset?” Mom asked.
“Why would I be? I got what I wanted, and now all my friends have one too. It was the perfect birthday.”

Many people take running as a way to keep fit. They like to run in hot weather and enjoy the feeling of being wet through with sweat ( 汗 ) while running. Cold weather during winter months, with low temperatures and freezing cold winds, may keep many people from running in the open air.
However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance. Many runners might find it easier to run in winter than in hot weather. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. In addition, lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is lower.
John Brewer is a professor of applied sports science at St. Mary’s University in London. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room where summer and winter weather conditions are recreated. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied.
From the study, every movement runners make produces heat. The heat can be really damaging unless the body can lose it. One way in which people lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through sweat. The body also loses it by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin and it puts more stress on the heart, especially in hot conditions because it’s much harder to lose heat when the outside environment is warm. As the result shows, running in hot temperatures results in 6 percent higher heart rates.
When running in cold conditions, the body does not have to work hard to move blood to the skin surface. Therefore, it requires less energy. The most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keep as dry as possible when exercising in low temperatures. Wear warm and light clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.
27. Why did John Brewer make a group of people run in a room?
A. Because the weather conditions could be recreated for four seasons. B. Because the researchers could teach the people there to study science.
C. Because the professor could study science with the group of people. D. Because the test subjects’ biological measurements could be recorded.
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Running in cold weather doesn’t need a lot of energy. B. Running in cold weather needs heavy clothing to keep warm.
C. Running in hot weather causes hearts beat slower than in cold. D. Running in hot weather produces more heat than other movements.
29. What is the main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To study why the drop in temperature is good to run. B. To compare benefits of running in winter and summer.
C. To encourage people to keep running outdoors in winter. D. To show us how to keep healthy while running in winter.
D
It’s certainly good to be nice. Whether it’s helping a friend with homework, watching their favorite shows even if they’re not your thing or giving up a little time and energy to do something for a friend is a praiseworthy decision. Or, one might be the bigger person and agree to take the short end of the stick in an argument, all to satisfy others and avoid further problems. Still, we need to control our niceness: niceness is valuable, but it’s definitely not without downsides.
To be clear. I’m not advocating（倡导）for selfishness. In fact, I’d encourage everyone to do small favors for the people they care about. Helping others makes us happy. It also gives us a greater sense of purpose and belonging, as we feel more connected to those we do favors for. The same goes for sacrificing （牺牲）a little on our part to end a disagreement, which might feel uncomfortable in the short term, but is in the end for the greater good.
Yet, we need to be careful about where our niceness comes from. When our desire（渴望）to help others comes from a need to be seen as a good or friendly person, our motivations （动机）become increasingly dangerous. For example, we might want others to relate to us, so we say that we like their favorite songs when we don’t. Being agreeable all the time makes us become a product of the people around us instead of having our own special personality.
Additionally, avoiding unreasonable agreeability is even more important. We can’t help offering to do too many favors because our desire to be seen as selfless and kind outweighs our worries for our own well-being. If you always support others emotionally, or help them with their studies, that habit might become part of how you view yourself. In other words, you see yourself as someone willing to lend a hand to others when they are in need.
Agreeability crosses the experiences of all kinds of people, and it can be especially true within communities where selflessness is important. From my experience at Harvey Mudd College, students are known for caring for others-offering to help their classmates with their studies. This common view of people’s willingness to help can put stress on Mudders to sacrifice their energy, even if they don’t have the skills to do so. Instead, they should remind themselves of their responsibilities, and then decide if they have the ability to lend a hand.
Finally, making kindness a habit is an honorable goal. But as with all things, moderation（适度）is key, and sometimes, sacrificing a little too much can cause more harm than good.
30. What does the underlined part “take the short end of the stick” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Say sorry first. B. Hit the other person. C. Suffer bad results. D. Make up for mistakes.
31. Unreasonable agreeability may stop us from ________.
A. viewing ourselves properly B. having a sense of belonging
C. developing social relationships D. caring about our own happiness
32. Why is “Harvey Mudd College” mentioned in the passage?
A. To spread the spirit of selflessness within communities.
B. To show an effect of widespread niceness in communities.
C. To criticize the students who sacrifice too much for others.
D. To explain responsibilities people should take within communities.
33. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. being nice can make people easily understood by others
B. being selfless helps people improve their social skills
C. people should think twice before saying “yes”
D. people who help others are more popular

The Sport of Concentration

Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me increase the distance and pace I run, or the number of hours I sleep, or the rate of my heartbeats. It will make me a “better me,” or so the story goes.
Maybe some of them actually help to do these things, but nonetheless, I still decided to sell all of my sports gadgets a few months ago and simply record my running times with a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I began to train for a marathon the old-fashioned way, without something on my wrist telling me my pace and current heart rate. As it turned out, running without knowing all that information was a great pleasure.
In the past, whenever I was running slower than my smartwatch said I should be, I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to.
On more than a few occasions, when I’d look at my notepad following key workouts (锻炼), I was shocked to see that I’d had some real breakthroughs (突破), running much faster than I thought I could. I was so shocked about these numbers and thought that if I’d seen them during the workout itself, I would have probably slowed down. Yet, because I was blind to them, I just kept on running.
Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether everything has enough battery power.
So, what’s the lesson here? Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.
Should you stop using technology to “improve” your performance? Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were to be asked that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it.
34. When did the writer decide to sell all of the sports gadgets?
________________
35. Why was the writer shocked?
________________
36. What’s another positive thing without any running gadgets?
________________
37. What does the writer learn from the example of running?
________________
38. What do you think of sports gadgets? Why do you think so?

“Hard to find? But it’s on TV.”
Dad laughed, “That’s what will make it difficult to find. Everyone will be looking to buy it.”

Many people take running as a way to keep fit. They like to run in hot weather and enjoy the feeling of being wet through with sweat ( 汗 ) while running. Cold weather during winter months, with low temperatures and freezing cold winds, may keep many people from running in the open air.
However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance. Many runners might find it easier to run in winter than in hot weather. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. In addition, lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is lower.
John Brewer is a professor of applied sports science at St. Mary’s University in London. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room where summer and winter weather conditions are recreated. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied.
From the study, every movement runners make produces heat. The heat can be really damaging unless the body can lose it. One way in which people lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through sweat. The body also loses it by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin and it puts more stress on the heart, especially in hot conditions because it’s much harder to lose heat when the outside environment is warm. As the result shows, running in hot temperatures results in 6 percent higher heart rates.
When running in cold conditions, the body does not have to work hard to move blood to the skin surface. Therefore, it requires less energy. The most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keep as dry as possible when exercising in low temperatures. Wear warm and light clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.
27. Why did John Brewer make a group of people run in a room?
A. Because the weather conditions could be recreated for four seasons. B. Because the researchers could teach the people there to study science.
C. Because the professor could study science with the group of people. D. Because the test subjects’ biological measurements could be recorded.
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Running in cold weather doesn’t need a lot of energy. B. Running in cold weather needs heavy clothing to keep warm.
C. Running in hot weather causes hearts beat slower than in cold. D. Running in hot weather produces more heat than other movements.
29. What is the main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To study why the drop in temperature is good to run. B. To compare benefits of running in winter and summer.
C. To encourage people to keep running outdoors in winter. D. To show us how to keep healthy while running in winter.
【答案】27. D 28. A 29. C
【解析】
【导语】本文通过John Brewer的研究，介绍了冬季户外跑步的益处，鼓励人们在冬天多做户外活动。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied.”可知，John Brewer让一群人在房间里跑步，这样记录他们的生物测量数据就容易多了。故选D。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. In addition, lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is lower.”可知，身体在寒冷的日子里比在温暖的天气里需要更少的水，此外低温还能减轻身体的压力，当你在寒冷的天气里跑步时，你的心率会更低。所以选项A“在寒冷的天气里跑步不需要太多的能量”表述正确，故选A。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“So don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.”可知，作者鼓励人们在冬天做户外运动，故选C。
D
It’s certainly good to be nice. Whether it’s helping a friend with homework, watching their favorite shows even if they’re not your thing or giving up a little time and energy to do something for a friend is a praiseworthy decision. Or, one might be the bigger person and agree to take the short end of the stick in an argument, all to satisfy others and avoid further problems. Still, we need to control our niceness: niceness is valuable, but it’s definitely not without downsides.
To be clear. I’m not advocating（倡导）for selfishness. In fact, I’d encourage everyone to do small favors for the people they care about. Helping others makes us happy. It also gives us a greater sense of purpose and belonging, as we feel more connected to those we do favors for. The same goes for sacrificing （牺牲）a little on our part to end a disagreement, which might feel uncomfortable in the short term, but is in the end for the greater good.
Yet, we need to be careful about where our niceness comes from. When our desire（渴望）to help others comes from a need to be seen as a good or friendly person, our motivations （动机）become increasingly dangerous. For example, we might want others to relate to us, so we say that we like their favorite songs when we don’t. Being agreeable all the time makes us become a product of the people around us instead of having our own special personality.
Additionally, avoiding unreasonable agreeability is even more important. We can’t help offering to do too many favors because our desire to be seen as selfless and kind outweighs our worries for our own well-being. If you always support others emotionally, or help them with their studies, that habit might become part of how you view yourself. In other words, you see yourself as someone willing to lend a hand to others when they are in need.
Agreeability crosses the experiences of all kinds of people, and it can be especially true within communities where selflessness is important. From my experience at Harvey Mudd College, students are known for caring for others-offering to help their classmates with their studies. This common view of people’s willingness to help can put stress on Mudders to sacrifice their energy, even if they don’t have the skills to do so. Instead, they should remind themselves of their responsibilities, and then decide if they have the ability to lend a hand.
Finally, making kindness a habit is an honorable goal. But as with all things, moderation（适度）is key, and sometimes, sacrificing a little too much can cause more harm than good.
30. What does the underlined part “take the short end of the stick” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Say sorry first. B. Hit the other person. C. Suffer bad results. D. Make up for mistakes.
31. Unreasonable agreeability may stop us from ________.
A. viewing ourselves properly B. having a sense of belonging
C. developing social relationships D. caring about our own happiness
32. Why is “Harvey Mudd College” mentioned in the passage?
A. To spread the spirit of selflessness within communities.
B. To show an effect of widespread niceness in communities.
C. To criticize the students who sacrifice too much for others.
D. To explain responsibilities people should take within communities.
33. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. being nice can make people easily understood by others
B. being selfless helps people improve their social skills
C. people should think twice before saying “yes”
D. people who help others are more popular
【答案】30. A 31. A 32. B 33. C
【解析】
【导语】本文阐述了让善良成为一种习惯是一个光荣的目标，但是要学会量力而行，适度是关键，有时，牺牲太多可能弊大于利。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“one might be the bigger person and agree to take the short end of the stick in an argument”可知，成为一个大度的人，同意在争吵中接受批评，也就是先认错，所以短语“take the short end of the stick”指的是“先说对不起”，故选A。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据“...If you always support others emotionally, or help them with their studies, that habit might become part of how you view yourself. In other words, you see yourself as someone willing to lend a hand to others when they are in need.”可知，不合理的宜人性可能会阻止我们正确地看待自己，故选A。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据“and it can be especially true within communities where selflessness is important. From my experience at Harvey Mudd College...even if they don’t have the skills to do so.”可知，文章提到“Harvey Mudd College”是为了展示社区中普遍存在的善的影响，故选B。
【33题详解】
观点态度题。根据“Finally, making kindness a habit is an honorable goal. But as with all things, moderation（适度）is key, and sometimes, sacrificing a little too much can cause more harm than good.”可知，作者认为要学会量力而行，适度是关键，有时，牺牲太多可能弊大于利，故选C。

The Sport of Concentration

Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me increase the distance and pace I run, or the number of hours I sleep, or the rate of my heartbeats. It will make me a “better me,” or so the story goes.
Maybe some of them actually help to do these things, but nonetheless, I still decided to sell all of my sports gadgets a few months ago and simply record my running times with a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I began to train for a marathon the old-fashioned way, without something on my wrist telling me my pace and current heart rate. As it turned out, running without knowing all that information was a great pleasure.
In the past, whenever I was running slower than my smartwatch said I should be, I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to.
On more than a few occasions, when I’d look at my notepad following key workouts (锻炼), I was shocked to see that I’d had some real breakthroughs (突破), running much faster than I thought I could. I was so shocked about these numbers and thought that if I’d seen them during the workout itself, I would have probably slowed down. Yet, because I was blind to them, I just kept on running.
Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether everything has enough battery power.
So, what’s the lesson here? Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.
Should you stop using technology to “improve” your performance? Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were to be asked that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it.
34. When did the writer decide to sell all of the sports gadgets?
________________
35. Why was the writer shocked?
________________
36. What’s another positive thing without any running gadgets?
________________
37. What does the writer learn from the example of running?

【答案】34. A few months ago.
35. Because the writer/she/he had some real breakthroughs, running much faster.
36. It’s helping the writer/her/him concentrate more on the running itself.
37. No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.
38. One possible key: I agree with the writer. I think they’re not necessary for me. Because I don’t need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether everything has enough battery power.
Another possible key: I think they are helpful for me. Because I can know the data from sports gadgets and improve my performance from time to time.
【解析】

【37题详解】
根据“No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.”可知，这让作者明白无论如何，我们花在如何让自己在某件事上做得更好的时间越多，我们的表现就越受影响，故填No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.
【38题详解】
开放性题，答案合理即可，参考答案为：One possible key: I agree with the writer. I think they’re not necessary for me. Because I don’t need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether everything has enough battery power.
Another possible key: I think they are helpful for me. Because I can know the data from sports gadgets and improve my performance from time to time.
