If you’re looking for inspiration (鼓舞) to get healthy and stay active, look no further than Edna Giordano.
Edna, who lives in Canada, has become famous for the fitness level she maintains at age 91. The mom of five, grandmother of twenty-one and great-grandmother of four still drives now. “I’ve always had a busy lifestyle because, let’s face it, with that many children, you have to be busy,” Edna said. “So, I never really thought about it. That’s just the way I live.” She said she only really began to focus on her fitness in her sixties, when she was forced to retire from her job at a local hospital. She had to face the fact that she was 60.
To keep herself busy, Edna began gardening again that she had to give up due to her busy work. She said she also started going to the gym in her 60s, which she still does every other day. “I have to keep my feet to the fire because it’s cold in the morning in winter, and when it’s snowy or icy out there, I don’t really feel like going outside,” she said. “But I make myself do it and mark it on the calendar. So I cannot take any shortcuts.”
Edna said she focused on walking at the gym for her heart health and also included lots of weight lifting in her schedule to keep her bone strength. “When in the gym, I don’t try to break any records or compete with anyone else,” Edna said. “I only push myself to do better all the time, and I only compete with myself.”
When it came to her age, Edna said the people at the gym didn’t realize she’s 91. She prefers it that way, because when people do realize she’s in her 90s, they’ll surely demand to help her. “I know them well. But I don’t really want help,” said Edna. “It’s funny to say that, but I like to be independent.”
4．What made Edna leave her job in the hospital
A．Her turning sixty. B．Her looking after many kids.
C．Her wish to live a busy life. D．Her suffering from a heart problem.
5．What do we know about Edna in her sixties
A．She lives in a cold place all year round. B．She manages to be a regular at the gym.
C．She develops a new hobby for gardening. D．She likes to take shortcuts in her daily life.
6．Which of the following best describes the people at the gym
A．Competitive. B．Humorous.
C．Cautious. D．Caring.
7．What can we learn from Edna’s story
A．The elderly like to follow fashions. B．Experience beats youth.
C．A positive attitude prolongs life. D．Fitness is fit for everyone.
In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what“keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy ncighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.
It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back' to an apartment in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it“Keeping up with the Joneses” because“Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are“Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must stop trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
8．According to the author, what does“keep up with the Joneses” mean
A．Some people want to be as rich as their neighbors.
B．Some people want others to know or to think that they are rich.
C．Some people don't want their neighbors to realize they are rich.
D．Some people want to be as happy as the Joneses.
9．What can be inferred from the story about rich people
A．They ride horses to big parties.
B．They like to be left alone in their apartments.
C．They prefer to live outside New York City.
D．They are good at writing short stories.
10．Why did Arthur Momand use the name“Jones” in his series of short stories
A．Mr. Jones is the richest. B．It's a popular name in the United States
C．Mr. Jones is his neighbour. D．It's a name too common to be liked.
11．How does the author find“keeping up with the Joneses”
A．Advisable. B．Fun.
C．Impossible. D．Challenging.
It is difficult for a teacher to decide whether to allow students to listen to music in the classroom. Every time students need to write an essay or work on a problem, they say, “Can I put my headphones on I think better that way.” But is that really true Does music help concentrate
Research offers little to back up the idea that listening to music improves concentration. In one small study, 133 students performed reading tasks while listening to either light music, hip hop, or no music at all. Students who performed the reading tasks in silence scored the highest. Music with a higher intensity (强度) like hip hop was more distracting and had a bad effect on task performance.
Volume (音量) plays a more important role than the type of music. The study found that the louder the music, the worse the performance in concentration. The type of music didn’t matter. Data from the study showed once again that silence was the best environment to improve concentration.
However, music has a positive effect on work performance. Studies have showed that listening to music leads to positive changes in mood, as well as creativity. In fact, in music-listening cultures, which students are certainly part of, there’s actually a change in mood when the music is taken away.
It’s hard to convince my students that music doesn’t help with their concentration. Taj, a senior told me, “I wouldn’t be able to concentrate if I were listening to music and trying to read. However, when I write, I feel like music helps me concentrate deeply. I don’t have writer’s block. It’s easy for me to put my words on paper.”
“Maybe not with reading, but when it comes to math, listening to music certainly helps,” Danela told me. “You could actually be singing along with what you’re listening to and doing well in math.”
12．What does the underlined word “distracting” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Making it difficult for someone to concentrate.
B．Causing great excitement.
C．Making someone want to do something.
D．Making someone feel frightened.
13．What can we learn from the small study
A．Students do well in reading tasks while listening to music.
B．Music can’t improve people’s mood and creativity.
C．Different types of music lead to different performances.
D．The volume of music affects concentration.
14．What do Taj and Danela have in common
A．They believe music doesn’t help concentrate.
B．They use music to help with their paper-writing.
C．They can’t focus on reading while listening to music.
D．They don’t listen to music while doing math problems.
15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Should Students Listen to Music B．Does Music Help Concentration
C．Is Music Related to Reading D．Can Music Change Mood
The Feynman Technique (费曼学习法) is a powerful method that you can use to learn anything faster because it forces you to actively think about the problem instead of passively reading or listening to someone else talk about it. You can take the following five simple steps to study better.
Find out the topic you want to learn. 16 . Otherwise, you’ll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them.
Explain the topic as if teaching a sixth-grader. This step is the heart of the Feynman Technique - 17 . This requires you to meet the child at their level of understanding by using the simplest way.
Discover areas of improvement in your explanation. You’ll need to critically (批判性地) review the explanation you came up with in Step Two. 18 . Try to find any knowledge gaps, together with any areas where you felt that you couldn’t explain the topic simply.
19 . Think about all the knowledge gaps and other areas of improvement you found before. Consider how you can fill in those gaps and make your explanation better.
Repeat the steps until you’ve achieved mastery of the topic. Keep going through each step until you’re fully satisfied with your explanation. 20 , and that is why going through all the prior steps just once is usually not enough to achieve topic mastery.
A．Improve your explanation.
B．To do so, take a critical look at your explanation
C．Make sure that your explanation is interest-based
D．Your explanations need to be short and to the point
E．The Feynman Technique works best with a repeat
F．It’s important that you clearly know the topics you’re trying to learn
G．Explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student

Sports and Fitness Week
To raise our awareness of the importance of fitness, a “Sports and Fitness Week” was organized in our school last week, in which all the students took an active part.
Some girls, who normally have no interest in any sports, skipped rope and had great fun. Some students practiced dancing, boosting their confidence at the same time. What was the most exciting was the football match, for which players made full preparations.
All the participants benefited a lot from the activity, both physically and mentally. They all expressed a firm belief that they would continue working out regularly to build up their bodies.
