I went snowboarding in France with my little brother and what we lacked in skill was made up for in enthusiasm. That day, fresh snow had been falling. We stopped near the top of an off-path section. I let my brother disappear into the trees ahead, figuring I would soon catch up. I began to pick up speed when I was suddenly thrown off balance. Just as I was regaining control, I ran into the trunk of a large tree. It was like hitting a solid wall. The pain was instant. I quickly realized the situation could get very serious. Nobody would be coming past. There was no phone signal. It was snowing and cold. If I waited, I would probably be rescued eventually. But the chance of freezing to death before that happened was too high for me to risk staying put. I managed to get the board off from my feet and moved it under my stomach so I was lying on it. I faced down the mountain and used the board to slowly drag and slide my body down the steep, tree-lined slope (斜坡). It took about two hours before a skier found me and I got help. I couldn't feel my hands or my toes from the cold, but the relief at knowing I was safe was massive. I had broken one of my backbones, so I had an operation where the doctors inserted plates. The constant pain was unbearable, but it wasn't as bad as seeing the pain and worry I put my family through. The recovery road was tough, but I was lucky. Gradually, I was able to walk, then swim, then cycle and then run. I haven't been back to the slopes yet, but it might happen someday— I will, however, choose the paths. 【1】How did the author feel at the start of snowboarding? A.Confident. B.Amused. C.Nervous. D.Panic. 【2】Why did the author choose to go ahead after the accident? A.He was cold and hungry. B.He preferred to challenge himself. C.He was aware of the risks of waiting. D.He wanted to catch up with his brother. 【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Follow the safer path. B.Do more sports activities. C.Receive training in the future. D.Never go snowboarding again. 【4】What is the purpose of this text? A.To share a lesson. B.To keep a diary. C.To recommend a sport. D.To make a comment.

Losing your ability to think and remember is pretty frightening. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn’t worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss. After age 50, it’s quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts become smaller, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow. Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don’t remember even seeing it, that’s far more concerning, Daffner says. When you forget entire experiences, he says, that’s “a red flag that something more serious may be involved”. Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you’ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn’t panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants. You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain’s cognitive(认知的) reserve, Daffner says. “Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways, ” he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster 【1】Why does the author say that one needn’t be concerned about memory slips? A.Not all of them are related to one’s age. B.Not all of them are symptoms of dementia. C.They occur only among certain groups of people. D.They are quite common among fifty-year-old people. 【2】Which memory-related symptom should people take seriously A.Totally forgetting how to do one’s daily routines. B.Inability to recall details of one’s life experiences C.Failure to remember the names of movies or actors D.Occasionally confusing the addresses of one’s friends. 【3】What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up? A.Check the brain’s cognitive reserve. B.Stop medications affecting memory. C.Turn to a professional for assistance. D.Exercise to improve their well-being 【4】What is Dr. Daffner’s advice for fight against memory loss? A.Having regular physical and mental checkups. B.Taking medicine that helps boost one’s brain. C.Engaging in known memory repair activities. D.Staying active both physically and mentally

Most of us marry creativity to our concept of self either we're "creative" or we aren't, without much of a middle ground. "I'm just not a creative person!" a frustrated student might say in art class, while another might blame her talent at painting for her difficulties in math, giving a comment such as, "I'm very right-brained." Dr. Pillay, a tech entrepreneur and an assistant professor at Harvard University, has been challenging these ideas. He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to ignore the traditional advice that urges you to "believe in yourself." In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else. Dr. Pillay points to a 2016 study demonstrating the impact of stereotypes on one's behavior; The authors. educational psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their college student subjects into three groups, instructing the members of one to think of themselves as "romantic poets" and the members of another to imagine they were "serious librarians" (the third group was the control). The researchers then presented all the participants with ten ordinary objects, including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one. Those who were asked to imagine themselves as romantic poets came up with the widest range of ideas, whereas those in the serious-librarian group had the fewest. Meanwhile, the researchers found only small differences in students' creativity levels across academic majors. These results suggest that creativity is not a fixed individual characteristic but a "malleable product of context and perspective, as long as he or she feels like a creative person. Dr. Pillay argues that, besides identifying yourself as creative, taking the bold, creative step of imagining you are somebody else is even more powerful. So, wish you were more creative? Just pretend! 【1】According to the passage， who is more likely to unlock his creative potential? A.An art major who always believes in himself. B.A math major who has excellent academic performance C.A physics major who likes to imagine himself as a poet. D.A history major who works as a librarian on weekends. 【2】What does the Study conducted by Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar focus on? A.The creativity of the college students. B.The stereotypes of the college students. C.The impact of stereotypes on one's behavior D.The influence of creativity on one's behavior. 【3】The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means__________? A.stable B.sustainable C.predicable D.changeable 【4】Dr Pillay may agree with the statement that__________. A.there is no doubt that we are either creative or not B.a student who doesn't do well in art class is not creative C.right brain determines whether a person is creative or not D.if we pretend to be creative， then we might be really creative

How to say sorry and really mean it? 【1】 In fact, a study found that effective apologies are those that were accepted by the offended party and allowed both parties to move on with no unpleasantness. Here are a few key tips. Wait, never hurry to apologize Did you turn things around royally? 【2】 “Sometimes an immediate apology is called for,” says Antony Manstead, a professor of psychology at Cardiff University in Wales. “But if the other party is angry at your previous wrong doing, it may be more effective to wait because their anger may prevent them from being receptive to an apology.”【3】 Explain, don’t excuse Because admitting to being wrong is painful and can make people worried that they’re a bad person, they often water down their apology with excuses. For example, “I certainly apologize if I offended anyone” and “I’m very sorry,but in my defense ,you started it.” 【4】 Giner-Sorolia says, “It uses the form of an apology-’I’m sorry’- but follows it up by shifting responsibility to the offended person, implying he or she is too sensitive.” “Don’t imply that the other person is wrong to feci upset or angry,” adds Mara Olekalns, a professor at Melbourne Business School. Let your body do the talking Experts agree that face-to-face apologies beat phoned-in, e-mailed, or handwritten ones. “Facial expressions, posture, and the tone of voice have all been shown to be important channels that convey sincerity when you express regret,” Giner-Sorolla says. “Anyone can type” “I feel really ashamed, but if you say it live, it’s obvious whether or not you mean it. A phone call is second best: You’ll convey emotions with your voice and get instant feedback. E-mailed apologies aren’t perfect. They lack emotional connections. 【5】 “A victim can abuse written apologies and do harm to the apologizer.” Mullet says. A.A little cool-off time could help. B.That sort of apology has a name-a nonapology. C.Is there more to saying sorry than just saying “sorry”? D.Tliere is nothing worse in these situations than sincere apologies. E.Once you’ve typed them, the receivers can forward them to anyone. F.Being a victim does not automatically transform a person into a good person. G.Therefore, the best time to apologize is when one feels ready to sincerely apologize.

短文改错 It is true that famous schools have equipped with better teaching facilities. Besides, teachers there are excellent, who come from all over country and even abroad. They have a strong teaching ability to make classes more live and interesting, but students will be able to accept knowledge a bit more easier and better. However, not every student was fit to go to famous schools, which there is a fierce competition among students. And students there have to work harder than these in ordinary school. I hope the government will take measures to make sure all the schools provide equally good educations.
