It’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world, but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you. Highly Sensitive Highly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron. For such people, individual or non-competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal. Type A Personality Type A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury. To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain. Type B Personality This laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxious. Type B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect. Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like. 【1】Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports? A. They will feel like they are being evaluated. B. They don't like socializing with other people. C. They don't consider themselves to be athletic. D. They fear they'll be let down by their teammates. 【2】Type A personalities can be best described as_________. A. committed B. flexible. C. independent. D. sensitive. 【3】What is the purpose of the text? A. To help people understand what personality type they are. B. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habits. C. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exercise. D. To describe different types of workouts that are available today. |

In some places around the world, you can find bright green balls of moss ( 苔藓 ) scattered across glaciers, which, surprisingly, move all at about the same speeds and in the same directions. The glacier moss balls are commonly called “glacier mice”, and were the subject of a recent study published online in Polar Biology this month. The study’s authors believe that they develop from impurities ( 杂质 ) on ice surfaces. “They’re not attached ( 黏附 ) to anything and they’re just resting there on ice,” said one of the authors. “They’re bright green in a world of white.” The moss balls don’t stay at rest for long, though. They moved about 2.5 centimeters per day on average. Another one of the study’s authors pointed out that movement is a necessity for the glacier moss balls because the entire surface of the ball must occasionally get exposed to the sun. “These things must actually roll around or else that moss on the bottom would die,” she said. Glacier mice have ever been spotted in Alaska, Iceland, Svalbard and South America, but scientists still have a lot to learn about them. One of the biggest questions is why the moss balls, which can live for at least six years, move the way they do. The researchers tried to explain this strange phenomenon in many ways. First, they thought the balls had rolled downhill, but later found that they weren’t going down a slope ( 斜坡 ). Then, they thought the wind was blowing them in consistent directions. But when they measured the dominant direction of the wind, that didn’t explain it either. And finally, they considered the sun, which melts the ice and may make the moss balls move, but the direction of incoming solar radiation wasn’t in the direction which the balls were going in. Still confused with this problem, the researchers said that they hope that one day, future generations will “get to the bottom of these great mysteries”. 【1】What interests the researchers most? A.The discovery of glacier mice. B.The development of impurities. C.The distribution of glacier moss. D.The movement of glacier moss balls. 【2】Which of the following is TRUE about Glacier mice? A.They can move fast. B.They are attached to ice. C.They move so as to keep alive. D.They move from other places to glaciers. 【3】How does the author explain the unusual way the glacier mice move? A.By drawing maps and making analysis. B.By making assumptions and doing research. C.By doing experiments and presenting reports. D.By making comparison and setting down general rules 【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Wind blows Glacier mice to move. B.The direction of sunlight helps Glacier mice. C.Scientists leave these mysteries to future generations. D.It remains a puzzle why the glacier moss balls move in this way. |

Today's world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. Key skill set for success is persistence (毅力), a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence. BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time，the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school. "There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers，"Padilla-Walker said. "This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence-which can be taught-are key to a child's life success.” Researchers determined that dads need to practice an "authoritative" parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian:rigid，demanding or controlling. Rather，an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics:children feel warmth and love from their father；responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed children are given an appropriate level of autonomy(自主权). In the study，about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time，children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence，which leads to better outcomes in school. This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence，which is an avenue of future research. 【1】What is special about the BYU professors' study? A.It centered on fathers' role in parenting. B.It was based on a number of large families. C.It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles. D.It aimed to improve kids' achievement in school. 【2】What would an authoritative father do when raising his children? A.Ignore their demands. B.Make decisions for them. C.Control their behaviors. D.Explain the rules to them. 【3】Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers? A.Single parents. B.Children aged from 11 to 14. C.Authoritarian fathers. D.Mothers in two-parent homes. 【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Three Characteristics of Authoritative Fathers. B.Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in Future. C.Children Tend to Learn Determination from Father. D.Family Relationship Influences School Performance. |

Why Is 2020 Called a Leap Year? February 29 comes up on the calendar only every four years. A year with a February 29 might be good news if you are paid by the day or the week. But it might be bad news if you were born on a February 29.【1】. American English has a term for the unusual situation. February 29 is called a leap day. And the entire 12-month period with a February 29 in it is called a leap year. This year, 2020, is such a year. In a leap year, the dates jump over one day of the week. Let me explain. In 2017, the last day of the year, December 31, fell on a Sunday. In 2018, it fell on a Monday. In 2019, it fell on a Tuesday. But in 2020, December 31 will fall on a Thursday.【2】. The reason for a leap day or a leap year is because our calendar does not follow the Earth’s orbit around the sun exactly.【3】. So every four years, we put all that time together into an extra day — or, what is officially called an intercalary(闰) day. “Leap” is also an important word for two other common American expressions.【4】. If you want someone to investigate a situation completely before taking action, you might say, “Look before you leap.” The other expression is a phrase of hope. Urging someone to “take a leap of faith” means inviting the person to take action, even if not everything about a situation is known. Interestingly, both phrases are completely reasonable to say to someone who is about to get married. On that note, some people choose to marry on February 29 because it is an unusual date.【5】. Leap years were believed to be difficult, and leap days unlucky and a bad time to begin anything new. Whatever you think about them, the change in the calendar will be gone soon enough. Then we can return to normal, and leap over February 29 as usual. A.One is a kind of warning. B.That’s why we called it a Leap Year C.It just leaped right over Wednesday. D.Each year, we have a little time left over. E.You have to wait three years in between birthdays! F.As a verb, the word “leap” means to jump, or to move quickly. G.Some ancient peoples would likely tell couples not to do it, however. |
