My mom takes pride in the fact that I was talking in three and four word sentences before I was ten months old. Some say it’s a gift while others simply think I talk too much. As my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflecting on my life. I’m very happy and have no significant regrets. However, when I looked back on those times of difficulty, I saw a clear common denominator(特征); I didn’t seem to know when to stop talking. Whether it was hurting someone’s feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had I closed my mouth sooner. So I decided to practice the power of quiet. To take this step, I needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk. Why does my husband feel completely content to say nothing in a conversation? He’s highly intelligent and has wonderful opinions but he’ll sit quietly and just listen. Even when he’s asked a pointed question, he’ll answer with few words while still communicating effectively. What a talent! Can you imagine being happy just listening? In surveying those I know who talk less than I do, I got two answers—they either didn’t feel confident enough to speak up, or they just didn’t feel the need to participate in the conversation. Of course there were other reasons for not talking, but these were the two most popular answers. The first one didn’t work for me. I’m just fine letting people know what I think about them, and hopefully it will make the conversation much more interesting. The second one didn’t work either. I do feel the need to participate. I feel it physically like an electrical pulse through my body; sometimes it’s so strong that it causes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking in an unusually loud voice. I had to look further. An interesting thing happened on this journey to the power of quiet. During my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that the words rang in my head like soft, heavenly bells. I talked too much so people would know I cared about them. It was my way of taking care of those I love. I decided before my fortieth birthday, that from that day forward, those around me would know I loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but I was going to practice the power of quiet. As my forty-second birthday approaches, I can say that deciding to talk less has been more about focusing on quality rather than quantity. I’ve found that listening more shows those who I care about that I really do care how they feel. Now when I break in, it means more to them. Oh, sure, I still have my short periods of talking too much, but for the most part this has been one resolution that I can call a success. 21. In Paragraph 3 the writer mentions her husband mainly ______. A. to show how one communicates effectively B. to explain the reason for his silence in a conversation C. to give an example of those who have the power of quiet D. to give her high opinion of his communication skills 22. By “I had to look further”, the writer means she had to ______. A. look into the future in order to succeed in practicing the power of quiet B. try harder to prevent herself from talking too much C. survey people in other areas who talk little D. find out other reasons why she should talk less 23. Which of the following best describe the writer’s character? A. Kind but pessimistic. B. Loving and active. C. Selfless but proud. D. Stubborn and sensitive. |

Think about vitamin D when you’re catching up on summer rays. It’s sometimes called the “sunshine vitamin” because it’s produced in your skin in response to sunlight. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble (脂溶性的) vitamin in a family of compounds that includes vitamins D-1, D-2, and D-3. It can affect as many as 2,000 genes in the body. Vitamin D has several important functions. Perhaps the most vital are regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorous（磷）, and promoting normal immune system function. Getting enough vitamin D is important for normal growth and development of bones and teeth, as well as improving resistance against certain diseases. In addition to its primary benefits, research suggests that vitamin D may also play a role in: ● reducing your risk of multiple sclerosis（多发性硬化）, according to a 2006 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association ● decreasing your chance of developing heart disease, according to 2008 findings published in Circulation ● helping to reduce your possibility of developing the flu, according to 2010 research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition ● regulating mood and warding off depression ● losing weight or preventing heart disease How do you get it? Your body produces vitamin D naturally when it is directly exposed to sunlight. A little can go a long way. All you need is 10 minutes a day of midday, pre-sunscreen sun exposure,especially if you have fair skin. Besides getting vitamin D through sunlight, you can also get it through certain foods and supplements to ensure adequate levels of the vitamin in your blood. 24. Why is Vitamin D sometimes called “Sunshine Vitamin”? A. Because it is produced in your skin reacting to sunlight. B. Because it is named a fat-soluble vitamin. C. Because it is produced with enough sunshine. D. Because it is like sunshine in summer. 25. How can a person ensure enough Vitamin D in his/ her body? A. He/ She could ask doctors for help. B. He/ She should walk a long way in the sunlight. C. He/ She should be exposed to sunlight for a long time. D. He/ She should get it through sunlight, foods and supplements. 26.

Professional footballers have worryingly poor teeth that could be affecting their performance on the football ground, say dentists. Their study on players at eight clubs in England and Wales, in the British Journal o f Sports Medicine, showed nearly 4 0ut of 10 had cavities （蛀牙) and that athletes often had worse teeth than the general population. Regularly taking sugary foods is one possible explanation. The dentists, from the International Centre for Evidence-Based Oral Health at University College London, examined 187 players' sets of teeth. They found 53% had dental erosion (腐蚀), 45% were bothered by the state of their teeth and 7% said it affected their ability to train or play. Around 40% had cavities, compared with 30% of people of a similar age in the general population. Prof Ian Needleman, one of the researchers, said: "These are individuals who otherwise invest so much in themselves so it’s a surprising finding. "There are two main groups - some have a catastrophic effect, they have very serious disease that stops them in their tracks and they cannot play or train. " “There will be others experiencing pain affecting sleep or sensitivity every time they take a drink. " At this level of athlete, even small differences can be quite telling. Nutrition is one of the primary suspects with having too many sugary or acidic foods during training potentially accounting for cavities and erosion. A lot of air in the mouth during exercise can also dry it out so there is less protection. While these findings are worrying, clubs are attaching greater importance to dental health and educating their players. According to Stijin Vandenbroucke, head of medicine and sports science at West Ham United, oral health is an area where many athletes have greater problems than the general population and there are clear benefits of oral disease prevention for athletes and clubs. 32. What does the passage tell us about professional footballers teeth? A. Nearly 4 out of 10 players in the UK suffer from toothaches. B. They have been invested a great deal by individual players. C. Many players' poor teeth bother their career and daily life. D. British footballers teeth are examined regularly. 33. What mainly results in professional footballers' poor teeth A. Experiencing too much training. B. Eating food with too much sugar. C. Breathing in lots of air during exercise. D. Having little education of oral disease prevention. 34. These findings are worrying clubs because____. A. footballers aren’t willing to give up sugary or acidic food B. they've spent much on their players' oral disease prevention C. footballers have more serious tooth problems than the public D. players' oral disease may lead to bad performance in games 35. This passage is most probably taken from____. A. a dentist's diary B. a sports newspaper C. a medicine magazine D. a science report |
