Thinking Does Something to Body Researchers found that when people think a lot, the brain produces glutamate (谷氨酸) . The brain with too much glutamate will tell the body it is tired and that it must rest. People who spend more than six hours working on a task that requires a lot of thought more probably feel tired. ______________________________ The word “hangry” means to be angry as a result of feeling hungry. It’s not a new word. But scientists recently found that being hangry could be a real medical condition. There is a strong relationship between hunger and feelings of anger (愤怒) or low pleasure. Scientists believe that if people know they are hangry, they could better control their anger. Dancing to Music Is Genetic (遗传的) We can’t help dancing or nodding head when we hear music. New research suggests that moving our body to music is genetic. Parents pass their sense of rhythm down to their children. The scientists say the genes work in similar ways to those for other rhythms (节奏), such as breathing, walking and sleeping.
26. In which section of the newspaper can we read the news
A. MEDICAL CARE. B. HEALTH.
C. LIFESTYLE. D. SCIENCE RESEARCH.
27. If a man works on a task that requires a lot of thought for more than six hours, ____________.
A his brain can’t control his body B. he may feel too excited to have a rest
C. the glutamate in his brain may increase D. his body must be more tired than his mind
28. It’s TRUE that the children whose parents have a great sense of rhythm might ____________.
A. be more active than others B. breathe more rapidly than others
C. sleep better when listening to music D. have great ability to move to music

C. hangry can’t be controlled at all D. hunger influences our feelings
B
Months ago, the longest I had ever run was 5 kilometers. What’s more, I didn’t like running, so often I would put on my old shoes, walk out of the house with heavy steps, go less than a mile and wonder why I was taking the trouble, especially when there are many more satisfying (令人满意的) ways of exercising. Before last summer, I had never taken part in any kind of race at all.
At the end of July, I had completed triathion (铁人三项) after two weeks of training. At the end of it came the run—which ended up more like a walk. But then I realized something about it appealed to me. The very painful fun of doing something I hated and didn’t prepare for turned out to be like a difficult task to test my abilities and skills.
An invitation to do the Berlin Marathon (马拉松赛跑) was mailed to me a couple of weeks later. The joy of the triathlon had been that I challenged my limits (极限). I felt it necessary to find out again where those limits might lie. There was a very good chance that I would not only fail but get embarrassed and hurt in the process. There were plenty of reasons not to do it, but I said yes.
Marathon training is supposed to take at least 20 weeks or more, and that is for someone who has run before. But I don’t even know what speed I should try. Finally the training plan becomes something to stop me worrying when the race seems too scary. This happens often, as I count the days to the race and imagine my falling over in the middle of a Berlin street. This worry feels sure to happen, but if I follow the training plan, then I have done everything I can; if I do everything I can, then I can’t regret what comes at the end. In the hardest training week, I run about 40 miles.
31. We can know from the first paragraph that the writer ________.
A. didn’t have much experience in running B. had difficulty in walking after trying hard
C. failed to find satisfying ways of exercising D. preferred staying indoors to do exercise
32. According to the passage, we can know ________.
A. running is part of triathlon
B. the writer prefers triathlon to marathon
C. the writer did a perfect job in the triathlon
D. the writer found she had a talent for marathon
33. The writer accepted the invitation to the Berlin Marathon ________.
A. to win a prize B. to have fun C. to protect herself D. to challenge herself
34. The underlined part “appealed to me” is closest in meaning to ________.
A. scared me B. interested me C. surprised me D. disappointed me
35. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Nothing Is Impossible B. To Run Or Not To Run
C. Limits Really Matter D. What’s Lost Is Lost
C
Can you live through the hot summer without an air conditioner Maybe your answer is “No!” But how did people in ancient China drive the heat away Hand fans were almost the only help.
China has been making hand fans for more than 3, 000 years. Hand fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made of different kinds of materials. The earliest form of fans was the feather fans in the Shang Dynasty. Cattail leaf fans (蒲扇) were cheap and easy to make and they were the most useful kind for everyone.

Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool people down. They developed into artworks, in which round fans and folding fans were the most common.
Round fans were usually made of silk. They had beautiful embroidery (刺绣) on them. Women liked to use them. In ancient China, people often compared a woman’s deserted life to round fans, for fans are no longer needed when summer is over. Nalan Xingde once wrote, “If only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans ”
★ . Because folding fans were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems (诗词) on them. It was a way for them to show off their talents.
Today, Chinese people still use these fans. So the next time you use a fan, you may think of the stories behind it.
36. What can we know from paragraphs 2 and 3

Months ago, the longest I had ever run was 5 kilometers. What’s more, I didn’t like running, so often I would put on my old shoes, walk out of the house with heavy steps, go less than a mile and wonder why I was taking the trouble, especially when there are many more satisfying (令人满意的) ways of exercising. Before last summer, I had never taken part in any kind of race at all.
At the end of July, I had completed triathion (铁人三项) after two weeks of training. At the end of it came the run—which ended up more like a walk. But then I realized something about it appealed to me. The very painful fun of doing something I hated and didn’t prepare for turned out to be like a difficult task to test my abilities and skills.
An invitation to do the Berlin Marathon (马拉松赛跑) was mailed to me a couple of weeks later. The joy of the triathlon had been that I challenged my limits (极限). I felt it necessary to find out again where those limits might lie. There was a very good chance that I would not only fail but get embarrassed and hurt in the process. There were plenty of reasons not to do it, but I said yes.
Marathon training is supposed to take at least 20 weeks or more, and that is for someone who has run before. But I don’t even know what speed I should try. Finally the training plan becomes something to stop me worrying when the race seems too scary. This happens often, as I count the days to the race and imagine my falling over in the middle of a Berlin street. This worry feels sure to happen, but if I follow the training plan, then I have done everything I can; if I do everything I can, then I can’t regret what comes at the end. In the hardest training week, I run about 40 miles.
31. We can know from the first paragraph that the writer ________.
A. didn’t have much experience in running B. had difficulty in walking after trying hard
C. failed to find satisfying ways of exercising D. preferred staying indoors to do exercise

34 The underlined part “appealed to me” is closest in meaning to ________.
A. scared me B. interested me C. surprised me D. disappointed me
35. What can be the best title for the passage

China has been making hand fans for more than 3, 000 years. Hand fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made of different kinds of materials. The earliest form of fans was the feather fans in the Shang Dynasty. Cattail leaf fans (蒲扇) were cheap and easy to make and they were the most useful kind for everyone. Sandalwood fans (檀香扇) could send out a sweet smell.

Round fans were usually made of silk. They had beautiful embroidery (刺绣) on them. Women liked to use them. In ancient China, people often compared a woman’s deserted life to round fans, for fans are no longer needed when summer is over. Nalan Xingde once wrote, “If only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans ”
★ . Because folding fans were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems (诗词) on them. It was a way for them to show off their talents.
