七选五
When we’re bored, most of us end up being glued to a phone. That might ease our boredom. ____1____ That time could’ve been spent on a different, more valuable activity. The following will help ease your boredom, and teach you to use time more productively.
Reading.
____2____ That’s because they were forced to read at school. But when you have the option to choose which book you’re going to read, you can understand why it’s enjoyable. Not only can it help ease your boredom, it’s also one of the best ways to expand your knowledge.
____3____
People often forget why they’re pursing something in the first place. Some may not even be sure what they’re supposed to be doing in their daily life. This lack of direction then often shows up as boredom. That’s why having goals is important.
Exercise.
Exercise is good and should be done frequently. ____4____ Most people who exercise do it to look better in the mirror. But there’s another reason why you should exercise, it improves our brain function.
Cleaning up your room.
Take a look around right now. Chances are that the space you’re in, is far from clean. However, you have to change that, as our physical environment has a huge impact on our cognition, behavior and decision making. ____5____ But once we remove all this visual mess from our environment, we’re able to focus and process information much better.
A．Pursuing a dream.
B．Planning and goal setting.
C．But there’s an opportunity cost.
D．Most people only do reading after school.
E．But for some reason, not everyone does it.

Our lives are full of habits. Unfortunately a great many of them are bad habits. One way to break these bad habits is to fill our lives with good habits. Most people decide one day that they need to make changes to their lives and then they go all out to make big sweeping changes. This may work for them for the first few days, but then they get burned out. ____6____ This is a very unproductive way to spend your time and energy.
____7____ Say your goal is to get up an hour earlier every day. One day you start setting your alarm for an hour earlier and you keep this up for one week. Then because you are naturally resistant to change, you go back to your old habit. A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. ____8____
This approach can work for just about anything. If you are exercising for half an hour every day and you want to increase that time to one hour then add a minute every day. After one month you will have reached your goal with very little resistance from your body and mind. ____9____
This method of change is gentle, but very powerful. Think of everything you can accomplish if you just continuously improve a little at a time. The change itself creates the momentum (动力) you need to keep going. ____10____ What one minute change can you make to your life today?
A．The key is to change a little bit at a time.
B．Keeping on exercising can build up strength.
C．It may take longer, but with this approach you are likely to succeed.
D．Nothing will happen if you are not determined to achieve your goal.
E．Pretty soon they are back to their old habits and nothing has changed.
F．Changing slowly removes the greatest barrier we have to change: fear.
G．Soon you will find yourself reaching your goals with almost no pain involved.

____14____ . Soda and fruit juice may slow the passage of water from the digestive system (消化系统) to the bloodstream. While research is limited, some studies have found that too much alcohol (酒精) intake may raise risk for heat stroke during hot weather.

High school is a great time to start thinking about careers, yet many high schoolers don’t know what they want to do. ____16____. In fact, students are likely to change their minds many times, perhaps even after they enter the workforce. And some of tomorrow’s careers might not exist today.
____17____. However, they should know how to explore careers and put time into investigating them and learning about their skills and interests.
Understanding what you enjoy — and what you’re good at  — is the first step in exploring careers. “____18____, the question is, ‘What do you like to learn about?’” says Schneider, a school counselor (规划师) at Sheboygan South High School in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. “If you really like science, what do you enjoy about it — the lab work, the field research?” ____19____. High school junior Kate Sours, for example, loves spending time with kids as a babysitter and enjoys helping people, so she focused on those two interests when she began considering potential careers.
Once you’ve thought about the subjects and activities you like best, the next step is to look for careers that put those interests to use. If you love sports, for example, you might consider a career as a gym teacher or a coach. ____20____. There are hundreds of occupations, most of which are related to more than one skill area. School counselors, teachers, and parents can help point you in the direction of occupations that match your interests and skills.
A．High school students don’t have to know the exact career they want
B．If you don’t know what you want to do
C．But school counselors say that’s perfectly fine

Tips to fit gratitude in your life
Ready to begin? Here are some ways to become a more thankful person.
Every day, say aloud three good things that happened. This can be a fun activity to do around the dinner table together with the whole family, but it’s also extremely powerful to express gratitude aloud when you’re alone.
Keep a gratitude journal. Write down the small things from your day that mattered to you, like the few minutes of quiet time you had on your drive to work, or the fact that this afternoon’s rain storm didn’t flood your basement. ____21____
Thank yourself.  ____22____ Make sure you give yourself a thank-you for the healthy habits you’ve cultivated in your own life, such as eating plenty of vegetables or giving yourself enough time for rest each night.
Enjoy the good moments. If you notice you’re feeling happy, stop what you’re doing and pay attention for a few minutes. ____23____ Later, when you’re trying to inspire gratitude, you can remember this moment and experience the benefits all over again.
Check for silver linings. Even the most difficult life challenges come with some benefit- you just have to look to find them. Being sick draws the compassion of friends. ____24____ When things feel hard, ask yourself: What’s good here?
Look outward, not inward. Robert Emmons says people are more likely to feel grateful when they put their focus on others, rather than getting caught up in their own inner narratives about how things should have gone. Empathy (同理心) for others can arouse a sense of gratitude. ____25____
Change your perspective. If you struggle to come up with something to feel grateful for, put yourself in the shoes of someone experiencing misfortunes greater than your own. Recalling a colleague who is in poor health, e. g, will inspire gratitude for your own healthy body, which you may have taken for granted otherwise.
A．Making a mistake teaches you a lesson.
B．Make it a habit to show empathy for others.
C．And it is wise for people to have an outward focus.
D．When you feel unwell, ask yourself: What makes you being so?
E．Gratitude doesn’t always need to be focused on what other people have done for you!
F．If you’re having a hard day, you can look back through these blessings in your life.
G．Notice exactly how you feel, including the sensations in your body and your thoughts.

They say once you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget. Most of us learnt when we were kids, and many still put on our helmets, put our feet on the pedals, and shoot off for a ride around the streets. ___26___So the question is, what makes it so appealing to people to ride their bikes once again?
First, let’s look at the health benefits. Cycling can improve your cardiovascular (心血管的) health and burn extra body fat. And it also helps strengthening your leg muscles. ___27___ A long ride in the countryside could help you to clear your mind, or de-stress. But it’s not only about your body and mind, there are also some plus sides for your wallet’s health.
Cycling can be a great way to commute (通勤) or get about town. ___28___ If you do drive into work, sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a nightmare, whereas finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler. Then, on the train, there are changes at stations and other commuters speaking loudly on their phones. Cyclists face neither of these issues. ___29___ Wearing high-visibility clothing, sometimes referred to as ‘hi-vis’, is another way to improve your safety when cycling on the roads.
___30___It can help you to reduce your carbon footprint. Not pumping out fumes into the atmosphere is better for the planet and your own environment.
So, whether people want to cycle for their health, getting about town, their wallet, the environment, or a combination of all of them, cycling is gaining increasing popularity than ever before.
A．In recent times, cycling is making a comeback.
B．By cycling, you save money on fuel or train fares.
C．Finally, cycling can also be good for the environment.
D．Cycling’s benefits aren’t just physical, but mental as well.

G．If you’re worried about safety, there are newly-built cycle paths in many cities.

Don’t get it wrong; there’s nothing wrong with therapy (治疗), except that it costs an arm and a leg. Considering that there are factors causing anxiety everywhere, the following tips come in quite handy. ____31____ But they can make living with disorders less burdensome. These tips would help you improve your mental health, until you can get therapy.
____32____ Locking yourself alone in will only let negative emotions worse. According to research, the sun can actually make you release dopamine, the happiness hormone. Plus, the change in scenery is good for your mind. You can enjoy the sun even if you’ re stuck inside. Just let it in by opening the blinds and airing out your space. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen.
Exercise at your own pace. Some people say gyming helps them feel better about their bodies, trains their minds and gives them something rewarding to do with their time. ____33____ You can choose yoga, fencing, kendo, skating, jujutsu, skipping, and dancing. The list is endless.
Try for restful sleep. Many mental health disorders ruin your sleep pattern, which could be why you’re tired all day. Good sleep isn’t just about how long you’ve stayed asleep. ____34____ For example, irregular sleep may leave you tired in the morning. You can get better sleep results by avoiding caffeine three hours before bedtime, creating a peaceful bedtime routine, and training your rhythm by sleeping and waking at the same time every day.
Take meditation (冥想) sessions. ____35____ Taking some time out to meditate can sort out the noise and calm you down and help you become aware of your present mental state.

B．One hour a day is suitable for the elderly.

Use these tips to make a quiet place that allows for concentration.
If you are on campus, roommates and dormitory can be loud, and if you are studying online from home, you might have to deal with your family’s comings and goings. ____37____. If you don’t care to study in silence, you could drown out the background noise of people talking around you. You could use earplugs when you need to concentrate deeply or download a white noise app on your phone.
Another easy way to get focused on your study plan is realizing you need something that you forgot outside your study space. For example, be sure to have all the pens, notebooks and textbooks you will need to complete your work. ____38____. So having all the necessary things on hand will keep you focused. Besides, if you are doing work or reading on a laptop, make sure to bring your charger, as a failing battery may force you to stop studying.
____39____. Students with worksheets and practice problems would probably do better with a desk or a large table. Students with lots of reading may be more comfortable on a sofa or chair where they can get comfortable while they study.

____41____
When telling campfire stories to children, include a bunch of fun and strange names for the characters. If it is a humorous story, don’t be afraid to use silly things for names, like Snickers or Twix. If it is a scary story, you can use names like Mr. Blue Toes or Mrs. Scissor Arms.
Include animal characters
Campfire stories are often the best when they include animals, especially ones that can be found in the woods. Ideas of animals to include are bears, mountain lions, deer, and squirrels. You try to make the bears gentle and the squirrels or deer the more aggressive (好斗的) ones. ____42____
Take turns
No one says that a campfire story has to be told by one person from beginning to end. Take turns. _____43_____This will often result in unforeseen twists and induce tons of laughter.
Change your voice
Do not use a single voice when telling campfire stories to children. ____44____ Talk in different tones and use a different infliction for each character. Alternate(交替)between whispering and talking louder.

Lying and cheating are common human behaviors, but until relatively recently, there has been little actual research into just how often people lie. A 2004 Reader, s Digest poll found that as many as 96% of people admit to lying at least sometimes.
One national study published in 2016 surveyed 1,000 US adults. ____46____ The researchers found that about half of all lies were told by just 5% of all the subjects. This suggests that there likely exists a small group of people skilled at lying.
____47____ Some of these lies are “little white lies” intended to protect someone else’s feelings. (“No, that shirt does not make you look fat!”) In other cases, these lies can be much more serious (covering up a crime).
How to tell if someone is lying?____48____ If you suspect that someone might not be telling the truth, look at their body languages to help you. For example, shrugging, lack of expression, a bored posture, and grooming behaviors such as playing with hair or pressing fingers to lips can give away a person who is lying.
Another way to detect lies is to observe their speech. ____49____ Or they may repeat questions before answering them. These can often help us distinguish fact from fiction.
However, although some body language cues can be helpful, research suggests that many typical “suspect” behaviors are not always associated with lying. ____50____
A．You can watch their eyes carefully.
B．In fact, telling lies is always harmful.
C．One way is to focus on body language “tells”.
D．So it’s important to pay attention to all the possible signals.
E．The reality is that most people probably lie from time to time.
F．The result showed that 60% of them claimed that they did not lie at all.
G．Those telling lies often fail to provide specific details when a story is challenged.

When you’re giving a speech to an audience, there isn’t a one-stop-shop approach that will address everyone. ___51___ The following advice may help adapt your speech for your audiences.
Preparing your speech based on your audience size should be one of your first action-points. Larger audiences often have little participation, so ensure that your speech fills the given time. It’s also much harder to get the attention of a larger group.___52___  Remember to have eye contact with as many individuals around the room to keep them engaged. ___53___ This means you’ll need to prepare extra material if needed and allow for questions or comments throughout while still delivering your message in the given time.
___54___ Generally, there are four different ways in which people learn: visual, auditory, reading and writing and kina esthetic(动觉 ). Including elements of each learning style in your speech will help to engage more of your audience. Slides and images for visual learners, using sound effects for auditory learners, providing copies of the slides which can be noted and interactive parts of the speech will all be helpful in connecting with different audiences.
No matter how much you prepare and adapt your content for your audience, you may find yourself in the situation where you are losing their engagement during your speech. It’s essential that you read and act on these signals, like lack of eye contact, yawning or your listeners being on their phone. Take the time to observe these reactions in the crowd and understand what interest or bore your audience. ___55___
A．That’s why tone and body language is important.
B．Different people have different likes and dislikes.
C．But to draw a small audience’s attention seems much easier.
D．Smaller audiences often have more opportunities for interaction.
E．Different audiences have different requirements when receiving information.
F．Then adjust your approach to regain their attention while not going off your subject.
G．Another factor to consider is that your audiences have different ways to take in information.

How to bring more laughter into your life
Laughter is your birthright, a natural part of life that is inborn. Infants (婴儿) begin smiling during the first weeks of life and laugh out loud within months of being born. ___56___ Even if you did not grow up in a household where laughter was a common sound, you can learn to laugh at any stage of life. Here are some ways to start:
Smile. Smiling is the beginning of laughter, and like laughter, it’s infectious. ___57___ Instead of looking down at your phone, look up and smile at people you pass in the street, the person serving you a morning coffee, or the co – workers you share an elevator with. Notice the effect of smiling on others. Their happy faces will make you happy too.
___58___ Literally make a list. The simple act of considering the positive aspects of your life will distance you from negative thoughts that block humor and laughter. When you’re in a state of sadness, you have further to travel to reach humor and laughter.
When you hear laughter, move toward it. Sometimes humor and laughter are private, a shared joke among a small group, but usually not. More often, people are very happy to share something funny because it gives them an opportunity to laugh again and feed off the humor you find in it. ___59___.
Spend time with fun, playful people. These are people who laugh easily—both at themselves and at life’s absurdities (荒诞)—and who routinely find the humor in everyday events. ___60___ Even if you don’t consider yourself a lighthearted, humorous person, you can still seek out people who like to laugh and make others laugh.

B．When you laugh, laugh aloud.
C．However, it can also be learned.
D．Their playful point of view and laughter are infectious.
E．When you hear laughter, seek it out and ask, “What’s funny?”
F．Laughter is a powerful cure for stress, pain, and disagreement.
G．When you look at someone or see something even mildly pleasing, practice smiling.

This is the world full of opportunities. The biggest misunderstanding that I’ve ever heard of is that in order for us to gain something, we must be willing to give up something else. ____61____ Over the years, I’ve come to realize that isn’t true. As I grow, I find several things are truly stopping us from living a more fulfilling life. Below are some.
Place limitations on yourself.
On the surface, limitations are the things that stop you from achieving something. ____62____ You’ll keep facing the same problems, forced to make the same choices, and perform the same actions repeatedly. They define your current circumstances and to that extent define your quality of life.
Lack self-control.
We all have some aspect about ourselves that we don’t like. ____63____ Maybe you have a large sweet tooth and can’t help yourself from eating sweet things. When you have a lack of self control, those habits are going to remain with you until you find some way to remove them.
____64____
Our ability to come up with creative solutions for our problems comes from our ability to learn and adapt. If you’re not learning anything, you’re not progressing. Leonardo da Vinci once said, “Learning never exhausts the mind.”And I believe it.
Final thoughts.
When you get stuck on something, you are never truly stuck. It means that what you are currently doing isn’t enough to get you over the barrier. You don’t have to be working hard to overcome that barrier, rather change your thinking in how you’re approaching the problem. ____65____
A．Lack self confidence.
B．Lack learning and adaptability.
C．Give it time and keep working at it.
D．We shouldn’t bottle up our own weaknesses.
E．Maybe you’re someone who drinks a lot of alcohol or smokes.
F．Whether it’s career or health, one must be sacrificed in order for the other to succeed.
G．However, limitations are also the things that keep you restricted in the same life cycle.

We live in an age where we expect instant satisfaction from everything. Packages must be delivered within 24 hours and meals at a restaurant need to arrive within 30 minutes. ___66___The good news is that patience can be developed with time and practice. Here are some ways to help you become more patient.
___67___Take a slightly longer route on your walk home. Appreciate the smell of your food before having a meal you love. Practice things like word puzzles that will test your patience. By doing these small things, you’ll develop your patience.
Knowing your triggers(诱因)will help you take better charge of a situation the next time you find yourself impatient.___68___For example, maybe you grow impatient when you see a long line at your favorite coffee shop. You can choose another time to go when you know it’ll be less busy.
Slowing things down when appropriate can help you build patience. Take some aspects in your life you can afford to slow down. For example, wait for your coffee to brew (冲泡) on a weekend morning.___69___
Accept things that are out of your control. If you are stuck in a traffic jam,there’s little you can do to get out of it. ___70___You can either observe the cars around you or play some music in your car.
A．Looking at things from another perspective.
B．Being more patient reduces your stress levels.
C．Enjoy such process occasionally rather than rush to do it.

I’m a slow reader. ____96____ This is fine for me because my target is to focus on quality.

Assess how you spend your free time
Estimate how much free time you have each week and then make a list of the different activities you typically do outside of work.

Make a list of things that interest you

This can help you use your free time more intentionally to create meaningful experiences outside of work.____104____
____105____
While many people keep a schedule for work, scheduling your play time can also be beneficial. You can use a calendar or scheduling software to block off the times you plan to spend on work.

Tidy up your work-space first.
Chances are you’ll be greeted by piles of unopened mail, files, and other office items sitting on your desk.____107____ The longer you wait, the more likely these items will be sitting around your desk later in the week.
____108____

Four Ways to Help Your Child Focus
Trouble focusing can be a long-term or short-term challenge.____111____It also impacts everyday life. You can’t always change the circumstances that make it hard to focus. But there are ways to help your child cut through distractions(分心事)and get things done.
Jump right into projects. The longer you put off starting a task, the harder it can be to focus on it. That goes for projects for school and around the house.____112____To make it easier to get started, try breaking tasks into smaller pieces. The important thing is not to delay getting started.
Limit directions to one or two at a time. When kids struggle with focus, it can be hard for them to listen to, remember, and follow through on(贯彻到底)directions. ____113____Let’s say it’s time for homework. You might tell your child to check the assignment book, get out the right materials, and start working. If that’s too much for your child to focus on and keep in mind, break it down into single steps.
____114____While you may want to concentrate on a particular task, sometimes you get stuck and your brain needs something fresh to focus on. Try switching to other tasks or something kids love to do, which can help their minds stay sharp and productive for a longer period.
Be open to what works. ____115____On the contrary, others do better with noise. That’s why it’s important to ask kids what works best for them. May be your child wants to listen to music while doing homework. Give it a try and see how it goes.
A．Switch tasks.
B．Try mindfulness.
C．Either way,it makes learning hard.
D．Some people need total quiet to focus.
E．Don’t just let the words pass over you.
F．So try not to overload your child with too many directions at once.
G．That doesn’t mean your child has to do everything at once, though.

Do you often go out for shopping? How to avoid germs (病菌) when shopping in the grocery store? ____116____.
Firstly, go to the grocery store bright and early when they’re just opening. This might be your best option. By avoiding large groups of people, ____117____, as the virus is mainly spread through close contact with other people.
One of the easiest ways to spread the virus is by touching a contaminated (被污染的) surface and then touching your face, eyes, nose, or mouth. ____118____. This is a lot harder than it sounds, because people touch their faces more than 20 times in a single hour. While a mask can help prevent you from touching your mouth and nose, it is strongly recommended to wear one.
____119____. This may be as simple as avoiding a crowded aisle (过道) and circling back a few minutes later. Since other shoppers might not be as mindful as you are about maintaining social distance, be polite in your request that they keep their distance with a polite “excuse me.”
Just as you’re being thoughtful about your own health, be thoughtful about the health of others, suggests Dr. Larkin. “____120____, see if you can shop for them or teach them to use an online and delivery option,” she says. “Be patient and kind with one another, especially the workers keeping the stores open and functioning — and of course, if you are ill, please stay home and don’t expose others.”

If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime, you will see people, mostly men wearing T-shirts, sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade, playing a game with large round disks of wood. ____121____ Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China. ____122____ And in the 20th century both Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game.
And, though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess, Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played. Like Western chess, the object of the game is to capture the other player’s “king”. Actually, in Xiangqi he is just a general.
____123____Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. ____124____ This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. The war was so influential that “the Chu River and the Han Boundary” has become a metaphor(隐喻) referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums. ____125____
A．Unlike Western chess, instead of placing the pieces in squares, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines.

Here are some tips on body language to show positivity and kindness in communication with others.
Nod and smile when appropriate. These nonverbal signs can show the other person that you’re fully involved in what he or she is saying, and in agreement. Try nodding three times to show that you’re really absorbing what she is saying. ___132___ If you turn up the corners of your mouth but your eyes stay the same, you could come off as insincere.
___133___ Don’t be obvious, but try to match her body language and facial expression. By doing this, you’ll help the other person feel comfortable toward you. This mirroring technique has even been shown to increase a person’s good will toward the person mirroring her. If she’s leaning on a wall, lean on the wall. If she has crossed her arms, cross your arms. ___134___
Laugh truly. Even if you’re in a formal setting, if the other person has clearly said something that was intended to raise a laugh, laugh! ___135___ And this can also show her that you’re listening to what she is saying. Avoid laughing out of nerves or because you have nothing to say.

What keeps us healthy and happy as we go through life? The clearest message that we got from a 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. ___136___
The first is that social connections are really good for us, and that loneliness kills. It turns out that people who are more socially connected to others are happier. ___137___ On the contrary, the experience of loneliness turns out to be harmful. There are some people who are more lonely than they want to be. They find that they are less happy, their health declines earlier in midlife, and they live shorter lives than people who are not lonely.
And we know that you can be lonely in a crowd and you can be lonely in a marriage. So the second big lesson that we learned is that it’s not just the number of friends you have, and it’s not whether or not you’re in a committed relationship, but it’s the quality of your close relationships that matters. ___138___ High-conflict marriages, for example, without much love, turn out to be very bad for our health.
And the third big lesson that we learned about relationships is that good relationships don’t just protect our bodies, they protect our brains. It turns out that being in a securely attached relationship is protective. Many people are in relationships where they can get help from the other persons in times of need. ___139___
So, good and close relationships are good for our health and well-being. ___140___ This is wisdom that’s as old as the hills. Now, ask yourself a question: If you were going to invest now in your future best self, where would you put your time and your energy?
A．These people’s memories stay sharper and longer.
B．We’ve learned three big lessons about relationships.
C．That is to say, the good life is built with good relationships.
D．What’s more, they’re physically healthier, and they live longer.
E．It turns out that living in the conflict is really bad for our health.
F．They will surprisingly find that this relationship cause mental decline.
G．People living in loneliness are either in sorrow or terrible health condition.

How to Raise a Child Who Loves Reading
Give your kids good books to read.
By “good” I mean quality literature that makes kids think, not just entertains them. Some books can be fun. ____141____ Keep away from lightweight (内容平庸的) books, because they may teach them to turn away from anything that makes their brains work too hard. A diet of lightweight books does not promote the patterns of thought that produce intellectual and personal excellence.
____142____
Kids love listening to their parents read, even as they get older, so don’t stop reading aloud to your children just because they can read on their own. This is a perfect opportunity to challenge their abilities, vocabulary and worldviews by reading books.
Remove distractions (使人分心的事物).
With hand-held devices (设备) at hand, it’s almost impossible to expect children to give them up voluntarily for a book! ____143____ Parents should have these devices powered down and phones put away, and ask them to pull out their books. Once kids finally get into their books, it creates the same quiet, peaceful atmosphere home.
Talk about books with your kids.
____144____ Ask every family member, even the youngest, what they have read that day and what they’ve learned from it. This will arouse discussion and debate about the issues raised in the books.
Give our kids paper books, not e-books.
Studies have shown children keep information better when they read it on paper, as opposed to a screen, so avoid giving your child e-books to read. A paper book allows them to create a relationship with the book, to reread and to become familiar with a book’s feel and smell. ____145____
A．Read aloud to your kids.
B．Take chances to challenge your kids.
C．That’s where parental responsibility comes in.
D．All these are very real parts of the reading experience.
E．Parents should inform their kids of the harmfulness of hand-held devices.
F．The dinner table is a great place to start reflective conversations about books.
G．But it’s important to teach kids to appreciate books that may take effort to consume.

For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). ____146____ Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.
____147____ Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. ____148____ “I used to hate parties and I was distant from my friends.” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. ____149____
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. ____150____ There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No thanks, I’m amusic,’” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”
A．Songs sound like noise to an amusic.
B．Now she knows that she is not alone.
C．The notes sound different to an amusic.
D．She felt lonely while staying away from others.
E．However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation.
F．Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs.
G．Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.

51．根据上文“When you're giving a speech to an audience, there isn’t a one-stop-shop approach that will address every individual.(当你向听众发表演讲时，没有一种一站式的方法可以针对每个人。)可知，发表演讲时，没有可以一个通用的方法可以适用于每一个人，所以空处应表示观众是不同的，要求也不尽相同，下文“The following advice may help adapt your speech for your audiences.”（下面的建议可能有助于你的演讲适应你的听众。）也说明接下来讲述的是演讲满足观众的建议。故选项E.“不同的受众在接收信息时有不同的需求。”切题，故选E。
52．根据前文“Larger audiences often have little participation, so ensure that your speech fills the given time. It’s also much harder to get the attention of a larger group.”（更大的观众群体通常没有观众参与度，所以要确保你的演讲占满了给定的时间。而且要吸引一个更大的群体的注意力也要困难得多。）说明在演讲中大的观众群体往往很少参与互动，而要吸引更大的听众群体注意力的话，演讲者就应该注意语气。后文“Remember to have eye contact with as many individuals around the room to keep them engaged. ”（记住要和房间里尽可能多的人进行眼神交流，让他们保持专注。）说明要和周围的人进行眼神交流，即肢体语言也是重要的。所以空处应起承上启下的作用，说明演讲中语气和肢体语言是重要的。选项A.“这就是为什么语气和肢体语言很重要。”切题，故选A。
53．结合上文“Larger audiences often have little participation, so ensure that your speech fills the given time. ”（更大的观众群体通常没有观众参与度，所以要确保你的演讲占满了给定的时间。）后文“This means you’ll need to prepare extra material if needed and allow for questions or comments throughout while still delivering your message in the given time.”（这意味着如果需要你需要准备额外的材料，允许在整个过程中提出问题或评论，同时仍然在给定的时间传递你的信息。）说明在演讲中和观众互动的时候要准备更多的内容。因而空处应该是相比更大的观众群体而言，讲述较小的听众群体会有更多对的互动。选项D.“较少的听众群体通常有更多的互动机会。”切题，下文讲述较少的听众群体如何应对的方法，互动多，准备材料要多，同时还要传达自己的信息。故选D。
54．根据下文“Generally, there are four different ways in which people learn: visual, auditory, reading and writing and kina esthetic(动觉 ). Including elements of each learning style in your speech will help to engage more of your audience.”（一般来说，人们有四种不同的学习方式: 视觉、听觉、阅读和写作以及电影美学。在你的演讲中加入每种学习风格的元素将有助于吸引更多的听众。）可知，观众对演讲内容的了解因人而异，演讲中有不同的风格有助于吸引更多的听众。因此空处讲述演讲者要考虑观众的获取信息的方式。选项G.“另一个需要考虑的因素是您的受众有不同的获取信息的方式。”切题，故选G。
55．根据上文“ It’s essential that you read and act on these signals, like lack of eye contact, yawning or your listeners being on their phone. Take the time to observe these reactions in the crowd and understand what interest or bore your audience.”（你必须了解这些信号，并根据这些信号采取行动，比如缺乏眼神交流、打哈欠或你的听众在打电话。花时间观察人群中的这些反应，了解什么会让他们感兴趣或什么会令你的听众感到厌烦。）可知，通过观众的反应可以知道自己可以用什么话题抓住观众的兴趣点，因而空处承接上文，讲述知道这些情况后，演讲者可以调整自己的方法来吸引观众的注意力。选项F.“然后调整你的方法来重新获得他们的注意力，同时不要偏离你的主题。”切题，故选F。

59．根据上文“More often, people are very happy to share something funny because it gives them an opportunity to laugh again and feed off the humor you find in it.(更常见的是，人们非常乐意分享有趣的事情，因为这给了他们再次大笑的机会，并从你在其中发现的幽默中汲取营养。) ”可知，别人愿意分享有趣的事情，那么我们就很容易在生活中找到笑声。E项“When you hear laughter, seek it out and ask, “What’s funny?”(当你听到笑声时，找出笑声并问“是什么这么好笑？”)”说明，我们找到了笑声后，问问别人发生了什么好笑的事情，这也给别人机会来分享他们的快乐，与上文意义一致，符合语境。故选E项。
60．根据上文“Spend time with fun, playful people. These are people who laugh easily—both at themselves and at life’s absurdities —and who routinely find the humor in everyday events.

(即使你不认为自己是一个轻松、幽默的人，你仍然可以找到喜欢笑的人，让别人笑。)”即使我们自己比较无趣，也可找到有趣的人。空处承上启下，应该强调有趣的人能让我们笑。D项“Their playful point of view and laughter are infectious.(他们有趣的观点和笑声很有感染力。)”符合语境，且D项中的“Their”指代的人就是上文中的“fun, playful people”和“These are people who laugh easily”。故选D项。

64．该空为本段小标题，起总结作用。下文“Our ability to come up with creative solutions for our problems comes from our ability to learn and adapt.(我们为问题提出创造性解决方案的能力来自于我们的学习和适应能力。)”和最后一句“Leonardo da Vinci once said, “Learning never exhausts the mind.” And I believe it.(达·芬奇曾经说过：“学习永远不会耗尽头脑。”我相信这一点。)”均提到关键词learn“学习”，故空处也需要有原词复现或近义词替换。B项“缺乏学习能力和适应能力。”中复现关键词learn。故选B项。
65．上文“You don’t have to be working hard to overcome that barrier, rather change your thinking in how you’re approaching the problem.(你不需要努力工作来克服障碍，而是要改变你处理问题的方式。)”作者提出，遇到瓶颈不要放弃，要转变思路，改变处理问题的方式，换个方向继续努力。C项“给点时间，继续努力。”符合段意。故选C项。

123．上一段“And, though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess, Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played. Like Western chess, the object of the game is to capture the other player’s ‘king’. Actually, in Xiangqi he is just a general.(尽管象棋看起来与西方国际象棋有很大的不同，但在棋子的功能和游戏方式方面，象棋实际上非常相似。就像西洋象棋，游戏的目标是抓住其他玩家的‘王’。其实，在象棋里他只是个将军。)”说明了中国象棋与西方象棋的相似之处，由下文“Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. (西洋象棋和象棋的另一个很大的不同是，棋盘中间有一个很大的空地，象不能越过的。)”可知设空处应该阐述西洋象棋和象棋的一个不同之处，A选项“Unlike Western chess, instead of placing the pieces in squares, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines.(与西方国际象棋不同的是，棋子不是放在方格里，而是放在线的交叉点上。)”符合语意。故选A。
124．上文“Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. (象棋和西洋象棋的另一大区别是棋盘中间有一大块空白，象无法通过。)”提到中国象棋中有个空间是象不能越过的；下文“This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. (这个空间指的是中国的一个地区，刘邦和项羽在那里进行了一场生死战)”提到这个空间就是刘邦和项羽打生死战的地方，所以空处应是对这个空间进行定义，C项“It is called ‘the Chu River and the Han Boundary’.(它被称为‘楚河汉界’。)”符合逻辑，选项中的代词“it”指代上文的“a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross.”，下文对选项中的“the Chu River and the Han Boundary”进行进一步的说明。故选C。
125．上文“The war was so influential that ‘the Chu River and the Han Boundary’ has become a metaphor(隐喻)referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums. (这场战争的影响是如此之大，以至于“楚汉边界”已经成为一个隐喻，指的是两个敌对军队之间的任何边界。当今天的中国人看到这个名字在棋盘时，战斗的画面浮现在他们的脑海中，仿佛被浓烟包围，能够听到战鼓的敲击声。)”提到楚河汉界是一种隐喻，下象棋时棋盘也是个战场，人们看到这个名字就好像沉浸在硝烟四起、战鼓喧天的战争场面。F选项“An intense battle is about to take place on this small chessboard.(一场激烈的战斗即将在这个小棋盘上进行)”承接上文，符合逻辑，选项中的“An intense battle”与上文中的“the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums.”表达的意思一致，“on this small chessboard”与上文中的“on the board”一致。故选F。
