In the face of tragedy(悲劇), you must of course let yourself feel: Cry without holding back, tremble with fear, yell out in anger, accept and follow your feelings. This is part of the wise approach to tragedy: The Upward Path – the feeling of emotions(情感), the acceptance of them, and the coupling of the emotional mind with wisdom. Along this path, you’ll take the experience – no matter how sad or upsetting – as a learning event, just as all other points on your journey will prove to be. While tragic, you must recognize this is still a chance for all involved to grow. You should let both sadness and joy, fear and courage, dark and light fill your world, and learn to find your steady, calm center in the midst of the opposing forces. This is the Upward Path. Use the event as a chance to gain balance and discover wisdom – the wisdom of love and of letting go, of non-attachment and non-resistance, and using this experience to eventually help others in need of guidance.
Being able to relate to others who have also experienced tragedy and inspire in them hope – of recovery, and of moving forward – is perhaps the greatest gift you can receive from tragedy. Turn the negative into positive, the pain into connection. After you’ve taken appropriate time to be sad, to feel your own pain, you should make it your work, your goal, your purpose to connect with others who need help. Show them how you’ve experienced feelings, achieved balance, and gained wisdom that you would never have otherwise had the chance to learn.
Feel, but do not Feed on tragedy. Rather, let it inspire you to go beyond the person who you were before. With demise comes renewal, so let this loss be also your rebirth. No matter how hopeless it seems, no matter how difficult this becomes, you have the power to transform yourself into someone greater than you ever knew you could be.

Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to one's life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.
But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So in spite of all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33%—from 8.8 million to 11.7 million—according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.
For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years have shown that, for grown-ups especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect work,” said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve work.”
Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not grown-ups. “The literature,” says one researcher,  Dr Earnest Polite at the University of Texas, “is poor.”
小題1:The main idea of the passage is that _______.
A．breakfast has nothing to do with people's health
B．a(chǎn) good breakfast used to be important to us
C．breakfast is not as important to us as gasoline to a car
D．breakfast is not as important as we thought before
小題2:For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.
A．several studies have been done in the past few years
B．the omission of breakfast has little effect on one’s work
C．grown-ups have especially made studies in this field
D．eating little in the morning is good for health
小題3:The underlined part “nor does giving people breakfast improve work” means  _______.
A．people without breakfast can improve their work
B．not giving people breakfast improves work
C．having breakfast does not improve work, either
D．people having breakfast do improve their work, too
小題4:The word "literature" in the last sentence refers to _______.
A．stories, poems, play, etc
B．written works on a particular subject
C．newspaper articles
D．the modern literature of America
小題5:What is implied but not stated by the author is that _______.
A．breakfast does not affect work
B．Dr Polite works at an institution of higher learning
C．not eating breakfast might affect the health of children
D．Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London

Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes(運動員). Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
　　The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find a flaw (缺陷) in themselves.
　　Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters' performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.
小題1:An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is ______
A．to reduce their mental stress
B．to increase their sense of success
C．to make sports less competitive
D．to make sports more challenging
小題2:According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that ____ .
A．it can help them learn more about society
B．it enables them to find flaws in themselves
C．it can provide them with valuable experiences
D．it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves
小題3:Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes ______ .
A．believing that criticism is beneficial for their early development
B．without realizing criticism may destroy their self confidence
C．in order to make them remember life's lessons
D．so as to put more pressure on them
小題4:According to the passage parents and coaches should _____________ .
A．pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports
B．help children to win every game
C．train children to cope with stress
D．enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports
小題5:The author's purpose in writing the passage is ____________ .
A．to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout
B．to persuade young children not to worry about criticism
C．to stress the importance of positive reinforcement to children
D．to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragement

What kind of sports impressed you most during your childhood? Maybe racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours would bring you pleasure. At that time you weren’t thinking of fitness, you were just thinking of entertainment. But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused gym memberships, the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten. I think rediscovering it probably will give you a total-body exercise.
Although considered an excellent form of exercise, jumping rope has never received widespread acceptance because of two reasons. First,most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words, they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes in order to achieve a beneficial physical effect. Second, many regard it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive —not as something fun or enjoyable.
As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun as long as you find a proper way to practise it. Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce(跳) over and over again, players good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps. A single bounce, a double –bounce , a skip, a knee-up, side swings , as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping .
Nowadays researchers are discovering that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning . It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres（半球）to perform equallyto each other . In short, jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space , yet leading to a much healthier life.
小題1:The main purpose of the first paragraph is to tell us that         .
A．people would rather have exercise in a gym than do sports outside
B．there seems to be too much advanced equipment for people to use
C．racing around the playground was regarded as children’s favorite sport
D．jumping rope has escaped from people’s memories in modern society
小題2:One reason that can explain why rope jumping has not spread widely is that_____.
A．it benefits the cardiovascular system
B．it is too difficult for people to learn to jump
C．it is believed to be boring and repetitive
D．it requires little equipment, time and space
小題3:The first sentence in Paragraph 3 implies that       in rope jumping .
A．there is only one proper way to follow
B．the usual way should not be used again
C．the easiest way is always the best one
D．there are different kinds of ways to follow
小題4:According to the researchers , jumping rope          .
A．only prepares the brain for learning
B．is suitable for students only
C．helps both brain hemispheres work together
D．can be dangerous for old people
小題5:What is the author’s attitude towards rope jumping ?
A．He strongly argues against it.
B．He is in favour of it.
C．He is sitting on the fence of it .
D．He knows little about it .

Science can’t explain the power of pets，but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure(血壓) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack，reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer．
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings．For some．a(chǎn)n animal provides more comfort than a husband／wife．A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress(緊張)1evels and blood pressure in people－h(huán)alf of them pet owners－while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic(算術(shù))or held a hand in ice water．Subjects completed the tasks alone，with a husband／wife，a close friend or with a pet．People with pets did it best．Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates．With pets in the room，people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions．It seems people feel more relaxed(放松)around pets，says Allen，who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge．
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits．Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs；a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program．On average，people lost about 11 pounds，or 5％ of their body weight．Their dogs did even better，losing an average of 12 pounds，more than 15％of their body weight．Dog owners didn’t lose any more weight than those without dogs but，say researchers，got more exercise overall－mostly with their dogs--and found it worth doing．
小題1:What does the text mainly discuss?
A．What pets bring to their owners．
B．How pets help people calm down．
C．People’s opinions of keeping pets．
D．Pet’s value in medical research．
小題2:We 1earn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if        ．
A．he has a pet companion
B．he has less stress of work
C．he often does mental arithmetic
D．he is taken care of by his family
小題3:According to Allen，why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?
A．They have lower blood pressure．
B．They become more patient．
C．They are less nervous．
D．They are in higher spirits．
小題4:The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that       ．
A．people with dogs did more exercise
B．dogs lost the same weight as people did
C．dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D．people without dogs found the program unhelpful

When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn't understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laughs turned into crying.
So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing are controlled by the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so does crying.
Whatever helps us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.
Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.
Just as crying can be healthy, not crying---holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering---can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can 1ead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illness. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural, healthy and emotional response.
小題1:Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?
A．Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.
B．Because she did not love her grandmother.
C．Because she was too shy to cry at that time.
D．The author doesn't give the explanation.
小題2:It can be inferred from the text that _______________________.
A．there are two ways to keep healthy
B．emotional health has a close relationship to physical health
C．crying and laughing play the same roles
D．crying does more good to health than laughing
小題3:According to the author, which of the following statements is true?
A．Crying is the best way to get help from others.
B．Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.
C．We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.
D．We must cry if we want to reduce pressure
小題4:What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A．Why We CryB．How to Keep Healthy
C．Power of TearsD．New Scientific Discovery
小題5:What is the author's attitude to "crying"?
A．Positive.B．Negative.C．Touched.D．Upset.

How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else )．Registered dietitian Barbara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.
“Go for nutrient－dense foods，”she suggests，“foods that contain a multiple of nutrients.  For example，select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food，rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink，which contains only a small percentage of real juice—the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can't compare the value of these foods, the nutrient－dense ones are so superior，”she emphasizes.
Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life，it's the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only almost impossible to keep up the strength，they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren't supplied in enough amounts or balance.
According to Morrissey，trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses，or make you superwoman is a fruitless search.“ As women，many of us are too concerned with staying thin，”she says，and “we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.”
“We need carbohydrates，protein and fat－they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match，the spark，for the fuel，”she explains.“ We need them all，but in a very different proportions（部分）. And if the fuel isn't there，the spark is useless.”
小題1:From the first paragraph we know that working women________.
A．think cooking is especially complicated
B．do not share the same views with registered dietitians
C．a(chǎn)re busy and not interested in cooking
D．a(chǎn)re likely to eat healthfully
小題2:Orange juice is different from orange drink because________.
A．it contains only a small percentage of real juice
B．it is natural，nutritious and prepared from real oranges
C．it is largely orange－colored sugar water
D．it produces nothing but calories
小題3:In Paragraph 4，“a fruitless search” means “____”．
A．a(chǎn)n effort with no results
B．a(chǎn) search for a diet without fruits
C．a(chǎn) research on fruitless diet
D．a(chǎn) diet serving as medicine
小題4:Many women take it for granted，according to the passage that________.
A．a(chǎn) balanced diet can result in being fat
B．staying thin and healthy are both possible
C．lack of variety in diets leads to staying thin
D．vitamins are some kind of substitutions（代替物）for food
小題5:By saying “if the fuel isn't there，the spark is useless”，the author means “________”．
A．carbohydrates，protein and fat are enough to support a human life
B．vitamins and minerals are almost of no value
C．carbohydrates，protein and fat are as important as vitamins and minerals
D．without carbohydrates，protein and fat，vitamins and minerals are of no use

Medical drugs sometimes cause more damage than they cure. One solution to this problem is to put the drugs inside a capsule, protecting them from the body—and the body from them—until they can be released at just the right spot. There are lots of ways to trigger (引發(fā)) this release, including changing temperature, acidity, and so on. But triggers can come with their own risks—burns, for example. Now, researchers in California have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shining near-infrared light (NIR, 近紅外線) on the drug in the capsule.
The idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isn’t new. Researchers around the globe have developed polymers (聚合物) and other materials that begin to break down when they absorb either ultraviolet (UV, 紫外線) or visible light. But tissues also readily absorb UV and visible light, which means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin, where the light can reach the capsule. NIR light largely passes through tissues, so researchers have tried to use it as a trigger. But few compounds (化合物) absorb NIR well and go through chemical changes.
That changed last year when Adah Almutairi, a chemist at the University of California, San Diego, reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when it absorbs NIR light. Their polymer used a commercially available NIR-absorbing group called o-nitrobenzyl (ONB). When they catch the light, ONB groups fall off the polymer, leading to its breakdown. But ONB is only a so-so NIR absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells when it separates from the polymer.
So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules that’s even better.This one consists of a long chain of compounds called cresol groups linked in a polymer. Cresol contains reactive(易反應(yīng)的) components that make it highly unstable in its polymeric form, a feature Almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage. After polymerizing the cresols, they cap each reactive component with a light-absorbing compound called Bhc. When the Bhcs absorb NIR light, the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two short chains. Shining additional light continues this breakdown, potentially releasing any drugs in the capsule. What’s more, Almutairi says, Bhc is 10 times better at absorbing NIR than is ONB and is not poisonous to cells.
小題1:According to the passage, which of the following could be the best trigger?
A．Temperature change.B．NIR light.C．Acidity change.D．UV light.
小題2:Why is ONB unsatisfactory?
A．It breaks down when it absorbs NIR light.
B．It falls off the polymer and triggers drug release.
C．It has not come onto the market up till now.
D．It is not effective enough and could be poisonous.
小題3:Which word can be used to complete the following process of changes?
A．protectedB．formedC．exposedD．combined
