24、Have you ever met large chances in life and work? How would you feel in most cases? In fact, we all have to go through the grief cycle (悲伤周期) which has the following periods.

The first period: “It can’t be happening.”

Anger: “Why me? It’s not fair.”

Depression (抑都): “I’m so sad. Why do I have to do all of these?”

Acceptance (接受): “It’s going to be OK.”

I’m honestly not sure how scientific this model is, but recently believe that you will work better after going through these major changes.

Find out what your anger does for you — good or bad?

What does being angry do for you? Think back to the situation where you have been angry at work and ask yourself how it influences you, including: your relationship with co-workers, the quality (质量) of your work and health, how you feel outside of work, your relationship with friends and family.

Find out what makes you angrier and less angry.

What makes you angrier? Which thoughts, situations, people or conversations set you off? And what makes you less angry? I’m sure you are not angry all the time. What makes you calm and stops you from feeling angry? Find out. Then start doing less of what makes you angry and more of the things that cool you down.

Focus on gratitude.

What are you grateful for? As I mentioned above, anger is part of the grief cycle which is connected with what you lose. Gratitude is the opposite of loss because it comes from the good things you have in your life. It’s simple. Every evening, sit down with a piece of paper and make two gratitude lists: three things I was grateful for at work today; three things I was thankful for in life today.

Change your focus from “What was done to me” to “What I can do”.

I know this is the basic piece of all self-help advice. Life is 10% about what happens to you and 90% about how you deal with it, or you must take responsibility for your own situation, rather than be a victim (牺牲品) of it. That kind of advice can get pretty boring. But that doesn’t make it less true.

A．To explain facts.

【2】What’s the writer’s suggestion about dealing with anger?

A．Love friends and family.

B．Do things that make you peaceful.

C．Be friendly to co-workers

D．Write down what makes you angry.

【3】What does the underlined word “gratitude” most probably mean?

D．Pride.

25、

Chess is called the game of kings. People have been playing it for over 500 years. Chess comes from an even older game from India. The chess we play today is from Europe.

Chess is a two-player game. One player uses the white pieces. The other uses the black pieces. Each piece moves in a special way. One piece is called the king. Each player has one. The players take turns moving their pieces. If a player lands on a piece, he or she takes it. The game ends when a player loses his or her king. There are a few more rules, but those are the basics(基本规则).

Some people think that chess is more than a game. They think that it makes the mind stronger. Good chess players use their brains. They take their time. They think about what will happen next. These skills are useful in life and in chess. Chess is quite like an exercise for the mind.

You don’t always have lots of time to think when playing chess. There is a type of chess with short time limits (限制). It’s called blitz chess. In blitz chess, each player gets ten minutes to use for the whole game. Your clock runs during your turn. You hit the time clock after your move. This stops your clock. It also starts the other player’s clock. If you run out of time, you lose.

Chess is not just for people. Computers have been playing chess since the 1970s. At first they did not play well. They made mistakes. As time went on they grew stronger. In 1997, a computer beat the best player in the world for the first time. It was a computer called Deep Blue. Deep Blue was big. It took up a whole room. By 2006 a cell phone could beat the best players in the world. Chess surely has come a long way.

A.Deep Blue took up a whole room. B.Computers did not play chess well.

26、Many people attend physical exercise every day. For the fist time in recent 10 years, the United States government has changed its guidance（指导）on how much exercise people need to stay healthy and when they should start.

The new guidance says that children as young as 3 years old need to exercise. Earlier guidance used to begin at the age of 6. Dr. Girior says that the most important time for children to begin exercising is between 3 and 5. He notes that boys and girls in this age group need at least three hours of activities every day.

Doctors say it is important to begin at a young age. They add that from the birth to the age of 5, a child’s brain develops more than at any other time in life. These developments have a lasting effect on a child’s ability to learn and to succeed in study and in life. As for children between 6 and 17, at least one hour a day.

For adults, the suggested time for exercise remains the same — 150 minutes per week. However, those people who are over the age of 65 should include activities that help their balance. Better balance means fewer falls and less chances of injury.

Many people are excited and satisfied with this guidance. But some find that it has changed nothing about the dangers of sitting too much. Because there are still lots of people who sit too much every day. It is harmful and can even undo（破坏）the benefits of exercise you may have gotten. Because of that, let’s sit less and start young.

【1】What is the difference of the new guidance from the old?

A．The time people should spend on their study.

B．The subject people should take.

C．The age of children should begin to exercise.

D．The activities people should do.

【2】Children between 3 and 5 should exercise for at least ________ hours a week.

A．three

B．seven

C．fifteen

D．twenty-one

【3】Why doctors believe children should attend physical activities at an early age?

A．Because they have more free time to play.

B．Because they can learn things very fast.

C．Because their parents expect them to attend them.

D．Because they are helpful for their study and life in the future.

【4】If people over 65 take exercise as the time suggested including activities that help their balance, they will ________.

A．reduce the risk of falls and injure

B．have a good sleep at night

C．never fall and injure while exercising

D．fall and injure easily than before

【5】Some people who ________ may not be satisfied with the new guidance.

A．don’t want to take exercise

B．works in the office

C．don’t work anymore

D．believe taking too much exercise is harmful

27、If you’ve decided to read more, you’re not alone. However, one of the challenges with books is making time to read them all. In a classic guide How to Read a Book, Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren provide a solution; Don’t try to read all of them, because most of them aren’t worth it. You can get the best ideas from most books simply by skimming them. Skimming also prepares you to learn more when you actually read the book.

There are two levels of Adler and Van Doren‘’s method of skimming. One includes looking through contents (目录) and conclusions of each chapter and making notes of what you already know or whether this book has information you want to learn. The second is known as speed reading, which is basically reading through a book really fast, just to get a surface-level understanding of it.

In order to get knowledge quickly, people try their best to study and take use of skills, but the obsession with reading faster and learning more is not completely right. Reading two books doesn’t make a person twice as learned as a person who reads one book twice(or even once, carefully).

Here’s how you can really use skimming to your advantage.

Don’t feel bad for skimming instead of reading. If the book was any good, it's likely to realize how important it is for you to read the whole thing when you skim the book.

When you read for inspiration that you can use to your work, you need to read documents (文件) for your work, or to improve your skills. Then there’s no doubt that skimming will be quite useful.

When you do find a book you like, don’t try to rush through it to the end. Slow down and take notes. Reread certain parts you don’t understand in detail. Connect the book’s ideas with other ideas or experiences you have.

Skimming is simply a tool to support the overall reading experience. It helps you choose the right thing to read. Learning is not about how many books you read, or even how fast you read. It’s about what you get from each of those books.

【1】What can we know from Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren?

A．Readers need to connect the book’s ideas with theirs.

B．It’s impossible to read all the books for most readers.

C．Skimming helps us to learn more when actually reading.

D．We can get the best ideas from books simply by skimming.

【2】What does the underlined word “obsession” probably mean?

A．The idea which is wrong or untrue.

B．The state of being crazy about something.

C．The method that people use to solve problems.

D．The act of disagreeing with something strongly.

【3】According to the passage, readers will ________ by skimming.

A．have the best reading experience

B．reread a book as fast as possible

C．feel regretful for reading part of the book

D．judge whether they need to read the whole book

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．The opinions on skimming from different people.

B．The importance of reading books fast by skimming.

C．The methods of reading uninteresting books by skimming.

D．The suggestions of reading books effectively by skimming.

28、You have been thinking about it all week. It kept you awake last night. Now, as you walk to the front of the class, your throat is dry and your stomach feels funny. _【1】__. However, by making a small preparations and rehearing(预演)carefully, you can be a public speaking star, too.

__【2】_. Being excited about your topic is necessary for all the good speeches, so it's important to choose carefully. If you enjoy your topic, your audience(观众) will, too. Even if you are given a topic, try to find something about it that it is exciting or funny.

Next do some research. Don't just research your topic. ___【3】_. If you can, study videos of a great speaker to see how they move, speak, and pause(停顿). _【4】__

After researching, it’s time to write your speech. During this stage, think of your audience all the time. Entertaining your audience is important. It helps you relax if you know that your audience is enjoying your speech.

Finally, rehearse. You really need to rehearse a lot. Measure your speech with a watch, and practice in front of a mirror. __【5】_ . If you have followed all these steps, you should be ready for your audience. Good luck!
