27、In recent years, yoga(瑜珈) has become popular with people for its health. Because of the focus on the physical sides of yoga, like postures and breathing, few people realize that they are taking part in an ancient practice, developing from Indian religion.

Yoga originated in India in the sixth century B. C, when people were trying to answer questions about the nature of the self and the soul. It started as a practice only done by ascetics (僧人). So it was not something that the ordinary people did.

Yoga is not only a physical practice but also a mental practice, designed to reduce the focus on the external (外部), said Whitney Sanford, professor of religious studies. Most people pay much attention to daily existence and as a result, they lead busy lives, while yoga provides people with a technique to cut off their devotion to the external.

Samantha Tam said that practicing yoga improved her flexibility and treated her injuries. “Every time after practicing yoga, I always felt really relaxed and was in a good mood,” she said.

Yoga was probably introduced on a popular level in America in the 1960s and 1970s,when Western people began to show curiosity about other religions. Now most people pursue yoga to relieve stress, and fair numbers of people are simply curious.

【1】According to the passage, yoga was originally performed for　　　　　.

A. its health   B. relaxed and healthy life

C. religious reasons   D. the need of the soul

【2】Yoga is the following EXCEPT　　　　　.

A. a physical practice   B. a mental practice

C. a way of paying attention to the external   D. a way of reduing the focus on the external

【3】Today, people do yoga for many reasons EXCEPT　　　　　.

A. to get rid of stress   B. to treat injuries

C. to satisfy their curiosity   D. to become a hindu(印度人)

28、   Christmas in the United States is traditionally a time of gift-giving and family gatherings. But small towns across the country have their own traditions.

Middleburg, a small town in the state of Virginia, is known for its horses. For more than 50 years, Middleburg has organized a yearly Christmas parade(游行). Men and women ride horses through the woods and fields. They follow hunting dogs as they search for a wild fox. But first, these hunters ride in the yearly parade, wearing their bright red hunting clothes and hats.

John Hale, a citizen of Middleburg says many city people visit his town. “We have a lot of people from an urban area that come to visit, but it incorporates a lot of the o1d traditions.” The nighttime hay ride is one such tradition. Small groups gather under the moonlight on an open wagon filled with hay. The passengers sing as farm horses pull the wagon slowly across the fields.

There are some newer traditions, too. Trey Matheu works at the nearby Salamander Resort. He says a visit to Middleburg is a chance to slow down for a day. He says Middleburg can be a calming, peaceful place without tension.

“Middleburg is an opportunity to take a step back, to take a deep breath, and understand that  even though life is moving on at a very fast pace, there’s really an opportunity where you’re allowed to step off for a little bit.”

Parade organizers say more than 13,000 people attend even in below-freezing weather. But if you ask, you will hear many different reasons why people come to watch the parade:

“I come here because I’m from a small town. I like how everybody comes together. ”“I live right down that street; right there. And that’s my dog.”

Middleburg looks its best at Christmastime. That may be why so many people return each year.

【1】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.Middleburg Christmas parade

【3】According to Trey Matheu, why do people visit Middleburg?

A.To relax themselves.

B.To enjoy the fresh air.

C.To escape competition.

D.To challenge themselves.

【4】What do we know about the small town Middleburg?

A.It makes a large profit from tourism.

B.It attracts many people each year.

C.It is a good place for family gatherings.

D.It doesn’t respect Christmas traditions.

29、The best festivals in Europe

Whether they’re in the countryside or a post-industrial landscape, Europe’s yearly festival calendar means new events, old favourites, crazy people and great charm.

OFF Festival, Poland

A small festival in Katowice in south-west Poland, OFF has, over the past 10 years, built an international audience thanks to a challenging and interesting mix of acts. This year’s selection focuses on female artists: singer-songwriters Feist and PJ Harvey headline, while Swedish pop singer Anna von Hausswolff and classical composer turned electronic producer Anna Meredith are also on the bill. Meanwhile, the experimental poetry and performance project by Moor Mother will undoubtedly be an unmissable show.

31、Directions: Complete the passage with the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Most people assume that life in the rat race is bad for your health.But reversing the traditional gender roles is a stressful 【1】, according to the latest research by American scientists. By giving up their jobs in order to become house husbands, men 【2】their risk of heart attacks by as much as 82%, according to research based on a 10-year study of 2,500 people in Boston, USA.

According to Dr Eaker, the key to the problem is that some man became 【3】 about performing a role not 【4】 assigned to them by society. Men who stay at home tend not to have the same levels of support from fiends and family as women who do the same. Jack O’Sullivan, of the Father’s Direct group, was quoted as saying: “Society expects the main carer to be a woman, and society is 【5】 around that. Daycare is called mother and toddle groups and some men feel 【6】 about belong to those groups.”

Professor Gary Cooper, a psychologist at the University of Manchester, said many men tend to 【7】 the task of caring for a family. He said:“Most men think being a house husband involves putting on a bit of washing , taking the kids to school and then putting their feet up with a cup of coffee. They are crazy. Most men are not used to performing a 【8】of activities at the same time-the kind of multi-tasking which is second 【9】 to most of women.”

It is estimated that men have taken over the main homemaker’s role in one seven homes, as increasing numbers of women become the main breadwinner. The study also found that women in high-powered jobs were more likely to develop heart disease than those in more 【10】 positions.

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he threw the ball at a vase（花瓶）—his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued（用胶水粘）the pieces together and put the vase back to its place.

The mother noticed the cracks（裂纹）that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn't drive it away. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, Ben’s mother realized she shouldn't just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.

Before going to. bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the living room at once. As he had already lied, he was determined to deny（否认）everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.

In the living room, calmly bathed in the light, his mother's face showed no sign of anger. Instead, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.

Paragraph 1:

The mother said, "This chocolate is a reward（奖励）for your imagination: a window-opening cat!”
