Does adventure have an age limit Two close friends have given a negative answer to the question. Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip, both at the age of 81, inspired by Jules Verne’s novel Around the World in 80 Days, are on a mission to see all seven continents in just over two and a half months.
Their first stop was a location that was not easily accessible to even many experienced travelers: Antarctica. Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage, the famously rough waters. “For almost two days, we were rocking and rolling and slipping and sliding through the Drake Passage. It was just wild,” Hamby said. “But when we stepped foot on the ground of the Antarctic, we forgot all of that. The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable — just breath-taking.”
Over the past three months, the pair have ridden camels in Egypt, met elephants in Bali, and observed the Northern Lights in Finland. For Hamby, the best part of the trip was not the beauty along the way. “We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the kindest and friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world.”
When it came to how their families felt about their journey, Hamby said her daughter Louise was not too concerned. “She just says, ‘Well, if Mom falls out of a hot air balloon in Egypt or off of the mountain ... That’s fine. She’s living the life she wanted to live, and I’m happy for her,’” Hamby said.
Hazelip hopes their story can inspire people of all ages. “Don’t sit in that chair and waste away,” Hazelip said. “Ellie has this wonderful saying; it goes ‘the world is a book and he who does not travel only reads one page’. So get up out of that easy chair, step out of your comfort zone, make some plans and live. Remember that age is only a number.”
4. Which words can best describe Hamby and Hazelip’s journey to Antarctica
A. Adventurous but wonderful. B. Boring and uneventful.
C. Well-planned and smooth. D. Romantic but fruitless.
5. What was the most unforgettable part of the trip for Hamby
A. Seeing beautiful scenes. B. Meeting wonderful people.
C. Experiencing different cultures. D. Having her best friend’s company.
6. What was Louise’s attitude to her mother’s journey
A. Uncertain. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Concerned.
7. What message does Hazelip most want to give us
A. It’s never too old to learn.
B. A friend for life is a friend indeed.
C. Seeing the world is not a must for the old.
D. It’s never too late to live life to the fullest.
C
For years, you’ve been told that stress can be deadly and is something to be avoided. Therefore, an anxious situation is often accompanied by a sense of fear. However, recent studies suggest that stress-related harmful effects on your health are not unavoidable.
One study followed 30,000 people over eight years and measured their stress levels. Those who believed that stress is harmful died at a higher rate than those who were under stress but didn’t acknowledge the so-called negative effects. The latter group was healthier, and many of them lived long, happy lives.
Stressful feelings start out in a small region of the brain that affects how people feel emotions, especially fear. The small region is very sensitive to possible threats. When it senses danger, it alerts the brain, and feelings of fear or stress can result. These feelings give people a warning message when they need to pay attention and when they need to take action. For instance, when the sight of a speeding car triggers (触发) the region to release a lightning-fast message, we know immediately to move out of the way!
Another study carried by Health psychologist Dr. McGonigal found a link between stress and the amount of sympathy people showed to others. Researchers tracked 1,000 adults, their descriptions of the level of stress in their lives and the amount of time spent helping others. With each major stressful event, such as a family tragedy or financial crisis, the risk of dying increased by 30 percent. But for the group who spent time helping others, there was no increase in stress-related deaths, even for those who had faced their own personal tragedies. According to Dr. McGonigal, “Chasing meaning is better for your health than trying to avoid discomfort. Go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.”
8. What does the study in paragraph 2 suggest
A. Stress caused many deaths over eight years.
B. Stress won’t hurt you if you don’t acknowledge its presence.
C. It is not the stress but our response to it that creates problems.
D. Those without stress usually live long and happy lives.
9. What do we know about stress from paragraph 3
A. Stress is harmful to the brain.
B. Stress can cause danger.
C. Stress can be a threat to us.
D. Stress can lead to timely action.
10. What can we learn from Dr. McGonigal’s study
A. People without stress spend more time caring others.
B. Stress often causes a family tragedy or financial crisis.
C. Stress can be avoided by helping others.
D. People chasing meaning in life suffer less from stress.
11. Which may be the best title for the text
A. Stress Is Not Your Enemy B. Man Can Conquer Stress
C. We Need Remove Stress D. Stress Is Nearly Harmless
D
Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile. It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to speak to anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems. Then one day, when my classmates were talking happily with their friends, I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed by me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and make friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day I asked him why he had smiled, but he couldn’t remember doing so! It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it is lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.
12. When did the writer get the gift
A. At the age of 16.
B. After making friends with the boy.
C. In the first year at a middle school.
D. After becoming closer to everyone in the class.
13. Why was the smile an important gift
A. Because the writer’s old school was far away.
B. Because the writer didn’t know who the boy was.
C. Because the smile didn’t mean anything to the boy.
D. Because it made the writer feel happy and warm.
14. Why didn’t the writer talk to anyone in her new school about her problems
A. Because she was always unhappy.
B. Because she didn’t know anyone at the time.
C. Because she was in the first year at the junior high school.
D. Because she didn’t want her parents to worry about her.
15. How did the smile change her life
A. She started to make friends.
B. She became the best friend of the boy.
C. Her parents didn’t worry about her any more.
D. She realized that she was lonely.

Gray thought this should be enough to prove that he’s able to take care of a horse, and as a bonus (意外收获), he said, “I can pay for the horse out of my own money,” How could his dad say no to a win-win situation Gary finished tying his dirty tennis shoes and ran all the way to the stables (马厩).
He moved to everyone and shouted, “Hello.” and began cleaning out the stalls (畜栏). As he finished his chores, he said goodbye to each horse and approached his boss, Mr. Bryant. Gary asked, “Can I have my last paycheck, sir ” Mr. Bryant took out the checks from his shirt pocket and then handed him his checks. He shook Gray’s small hand and said, “Good work. Will you be back next summer ” Mr. Bryant smiled when Gray nodded and raced off to meet his parents.
He quickly took off his clothes and put them in the worn, brown suitcase. He sat in the doorway and patiently waited for his parents’ arrival. He saw their black car turning the corner and jumped up waving excitedly.

But for the group who spent time helping others, there was no increase in stress-related deaths, even for those who had faced their own personal tragedies. According to Dr. McGonigal, “Chasing meaning is better for your health than trying to avoid discomfort. Go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.”
8. What does the study in paragraph 2 suggest
A. Stress caused many deaths over eight years.
B. Stress won’t hurt you if you don’t acknowledge its presence.
C. It is not the stress but our response to it that creates problems.
D. Those without stress usually live long and happy lives.
9. What do we know about stress from paragraph 3
A. Stress is harmful to the brain.
B. Stress can cause danger.
C. Stress can be a threat to us.
D. Stress can lead to timely action.
10. What can we learn from Dr. McGonigal’s study
A. People without stress spend more time caring others.
B. Stress often causes a family tragedy or financial crisis.
C. Stress can be avoided by helping others.
D. People chasing meaning in life suffer less from stress.
11. Which may be the best title for the text

Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile. It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to speak to anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems. Then one day, when my classmates were talking happily with their friends, I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed by me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and make friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day I asked him why he had smiled, but he couldn’t remember doing so! It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it is lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

On a hot summer day, a twelve-year-old boy, Gary, rushed to change his clothes after finishing practicing at a baseball camp. He couldn’t wait to see the horses. He was quite proud that he found a job on his own. He saved all of his money, hoping his dad would allow him to have a horse.
Gray thought this should be enough to prove that he’s able to take care of a horse, and as a bonus (意外收获), he said, “I can pay for the horse out of my own money,” How could his dad say no to a win-win situation Gary finished tying his dirty tennis shoes and ran all the way to the stables (马厩).
He moved to everyone and shouted, “Hello.” and began cleaning out the stalls (畜栏). As he finished his chores, he said goodbye to each horse and approached his boss, Mr. Bryant. Gary asked, “Can I have my last paycheck, sir ” Mr. Bryant took out the checks from his shirt pocket and then handed him his checks. He shook Gray’s small hand and said, “Good work. Will you be back next summer ” Mr. Bryant smiled when Gray nodded and raced off to meet his parents.
He quickly took off his clothes and put them in the worn, brown suitcase. He sat in the doorway and patiently waited for his parents’ arrival. He saw their black car turning the corner and jumped up waving excitedly.
Paragraph 1:
Gary hugged his parents both fiercely.

【答案】 Gary hugged his parents both fiercely. He said, “I found a job cleaning the stables for Mr. Bryant. I have saved all of the money that I got. Can I have a horse ” His parents were willing to buy him a horse but they wanted to let him make a choice between the baseball camp next year and a horse. Gary shouted excitedly, “A horse!” He briefly thought about all of his friends he would miss from baseball camp, but he couldn’t wait to have his own horse.
So the horse was purchased (购买). Gary insisted that his dad ride with him. So they rode the horse from the previous owner’s house together. They took the muddy roads back and then rode through the neighboring farmer’s fields and finally arrived at their house. Gary was very excited and played with the horse all the afternoon. That summer, Gary learned how to take care of a horse and how to repair fences. Gary and his horse have been inseparable friends since then.
