Find the right place to study.

The first thing you need to do is avoid distractions (分散注意力的事物) while studying.2. You should keep away from television sets and phone calls. Get all of your study materials together, so you will not be interrupted in the middle of your session.

Break down the tasks into smaller parts.

When you have gotten everything ready, list the items you need to study, and arrange them across several hours or days, depending on how big your load is. As a general rule, assign (分配) at least one hour to each subject. 3. By doing this, you will be able to know more easily how long you need for each topic.

Schedule study breaks.

Scheduled breaks will reduce the need for you to interrupt yourself to the lowest level during the study session.

Put your tasks in order of importance.

    A study has found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow down the aging process (衰老过程). Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick. Their research shows that a devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer, but also healthier.

For their study, the researchers looked at two groups. The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists between the ages of 55 to 79. This group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women. We will call this group the “cyclists”.

Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group. Within this group, 75 people were aged from 57 to 80. The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36. The people in this group were also healthy, but they did not exercise regularly. We will call this group the “non-exercisers”. Smokers, heavy drinkers of alcohol and people with other health issues were not included in the study.

Then, researchers gave both groups a series of tests. They tested their muscle mass (肌肉质量), muscular strength, percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune (免疫的) systems. Then the researchers compared the results of the two groups.

Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process. For example, they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength. Also, their body fat did not increase with age.

The researchers also found something they had not expected. The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.

The researchers advise us all to find an exercise that we like in our lives.

1.How did the researchers carry out the study?

A.By comparing. B.By discussing.

C.By imagining. D.By reasoning.

2.Which of the following is a result of the research?

A.The cyclists kept a thin body shape.

B.The non-exercisers gained weight easily.

C.The cyclists’ muscles remained strong with age.

D.The non-exercisers usually had health problems.

3.Which is an unexpected result for the researchers?

A.The cyclists had normal aging process.

B.The cyclists’ immune systems didn’t age.

C.The cyclists lost nearly all their fat.

D.Everyone needed an exercise in their lives.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.Healthy People Need More Exercise

B.Take an Exercise, the Harder, the Better

C.Cycling Is the Best Way to Prevent Aging

D.A Lifetime of Exercise Slows Aging Process

 

When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.

“Storm chasing” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.

Although anyone can do it , storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.

Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement . “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”

However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature, It is the greatest show on Earth.”

1.For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to .

A.head straight for the center of the storm

B.get into the car for safety

C.wait patiently for the storm to develop

D.collect information about a coming storm

2.Beginners of storm chasing are advised .

A.not to drive in a heavy rain

B.to do it in an organized way

C.not to get too close to a storm

D.to spend more time on it in summer

3.By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that .

A.storm chasing costs a lot of money

B.storm chasing is worth hours of waiting

C.efforts in storm chasing are well paid

D.a storm presents the greatest show on Earth

4.What can we learn from the text?

A.Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment

B.Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.

C.Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.

D.Storm chasing is only fit for young people.

 

    A young man returns to his hometown of Aractataca, Colombia. He visits the house where he lived as a child. Here, he remembers the most important memories of his childhood. Standing in front of his old house, the young man makes an important decision. He says to himself, “I will start my life over again. I will become a writer.”

This man is the world famous writer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez was born on March 6, 1928. During his early life, Garcia Marquez’s grandmother and grandfather told him many stories. His grandmother would tell him legends as if they were real. Garcia Marquez says that his grandmother’s way of storytelling later influenced his own methods.

When Garcia Marquez was about 20 years old, he left Aractataca and attended university in Bogota. He began studying law because this was what his father wanted him to study. However, Garcia Marquez was not happy.

During this time Garcia Marquez returned to Aractataca. It was on this visit that he realized he must stop studying law. And he recognized that he must return to the dream of his childhood-writing. For the next few years, Garcia Marquez wrote for many different newspapers. And in 1955, he published his first book called “Leaf Storm”.

For many years, Garcia Marquez knew he wanted to write about his grandfather’s house in Aractataca. To write this book, Garcia Marquez and his wife had to sell almost all of their possessions to survive. But their act was worth it. The book, “One Hundred Years of Solitude” was immediately successful. And this book created a path for Garcia Marquez’s future success.

In 1982, Gabriel Garcia Marquez was given the Nobel Prize in Literature for his book “One Hundred Years of Solitude”, making him the first Colombian and the fourth Latin American to win a Nobel Prize in Literature.

    Apples are packed with amazing health benefits: weight loss, heart protection, lowering your risk of illnesses, and many more. Not only are they good for you, but they taste delicious too! The only problem is that the pieces we pack for lunch are always an unpleasant brown by the time we dig them out of the fridge. Thats because polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in the fruit experiences a chemical change with oxygen (氧气) in the air.

Luckily, there is an apple you can pick up at the store that wont turn brown for a whilethe Opal apple. Opal apples are naturally low in PPO, which means theyll stay fresh and white long after you cut them. It has been tested that after sitting out unpacked for more than six hours, the apple had hardly any browning.

You may be wondering if genetic modification (转基因) plays a role in avoiding the fruits browning. In fact, you may even ask if Opal apples are safe to eat because they can do something most apples cant. But according to the Opal website, theyre the first apples to be checked by the Non-GMO Project, the gold standard for certification (证明). We understand that some people are concerned about genetically modified organism (GMO) products and felt it was important to make it clear that the natural nonbrowning characteristic is just thatnatural, said Keith Mathews, CEO of First Fruits Marketing.

The Opal apple is actually a cross between a Golden Delicious and a Topaz apple, and it has a sweet flavor. Plus, it still has all the health benefits every other apple has. Although FirstFruits Marketing does not show nutrition (营养) facts for the Opal apples, their nutrition value should be similar, if not the same, to every other apple. If you dont like eating brown apples, you can consider going to the supermarket for some Opal apples.

1.How is the Opal apple different from other apples?

A.It has less PPO.

B.It helps lose weight.

C.It has the attractive smell.

D.It has few spots on its skin.

2.Why is the Non-GMO Project mentioned?

A.To show the popularity of Opal apples.

B.To show Opal apples meet the safety standard.

C.To show Opal apples have a special characteristic.

D.To show the concern for GMO foods.

3.What is the authors attitude to the Opal apple?

A.Doubtful. B.Uncaring. C.Positive. D.Careful.

4.What is the best title of the text?

A.Opal Appleswith More Nutrition?

B.Opal Appleson the Way to Be Popular?

C.Opal ApplesA New GMO Food?

D.Opal Apples Never BrownBut Are They Safe to Eat?
