Staying in hospital, I longed for the football pitch like never before. I even joked: “So I have to wear a brace (支具) now when I play football.” Now came the moment! Waiting for the doctor, I became unbearably impatient. I had waited for three months to find out whether or not I would be cleared to play football again, but the thought of waiting another five minutes seemed impossible. Then Dr. Pittinger entered the room. The question remained unasked and unanswered as we went through the procedures of a physical. The time had finally come. He spoke slowly and softly, but still rather matter-of-factly, as he told me that I would never be able to play football again. The realization sank in immediately. I wasnt surprised, but I opposed the idea wholeheartedly. For months after I was released, I continued to work out with the football team. I woke up every morning at five for rehab (康复训练). Even though I was ashamed to wear my back brace, I wore it devotedly. At night, I slept on the floor because my doctor told me that sleeping on a firm surface was good for my back. I was determined to play again. However, in the end, just as the doctor ordered, I never played another quarter of football. After several nights of coming home from training barely able to walk, I finally gave in. For a while, I felt that giving up was like an admittance of defeat rather than the acceptance of a truth. But over time, I realized no matter what happened, life would go on. Rather than focus on what was undeniably unachievable, I understood that even though this particular option was no longer open to me, I had countless other choices to make in its place. 24. Why was the author impatient when waiting for the doctor? A. Because he disliked wearing a brace. B. Because he desired to leave the hospital. C. Because he was desperate to know the result. D. Because he wanted to be treated immediately. 25. How did the author feel at the doctors words? A. Unwilling to accept the truth.B. Disappointed with the treatment. C. Regretful over his carelessness.D. Hopeful of making other choices. 26. What happened to the author in the end? A. He proved the doctor wrong.B. He fully recovered from the injury. C. He improved his football skills.D. He failed to return to the football field. 27. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Take life as it comes. B. Doing is better than saying. C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D. The longest journey begins with the first step. C Its truly never too late to begin exercising, according to the researchers led by Pedro Saint-Maurice of the U.S. National Cancer Institute. Even for people who were “couch potatoes” in their youth, starting regular exercise in middle-age can still greatly cut the probability of death from any cause. The study tracked the lifetime exercise patterns of more than 315,000 people. The investigators found that folks whod exercised all their lives had a 36 percent lower risk of dying during the study period, compared to people whod never exercised. But, perhaps surprisingly, people whod been inactive in youth but decided to get more physical in their 40s and 50s saw almost the same decline35 percentin their probability of an early death. The study also found that a mid-life start to physical activity seemed to cut the probability of death from the two major killersheart disease and cancer. For people who began exercising in their 40s and 50s, rates of death from heart disease fell by 43 percent compared to people whod never exercised, and the cancer death rate fell by 16 percent. Those declines were similar to those seen in people whod exercised all their adult lives. “This study, once again, indicates the importance of physical activity in relationship to ones long-term mortality,” said Dr. Evelina Grayver. “Whether or not you start exercising when you are younger or older, the benefits will always be there. But starting exercising at a later age and still getting the same mortality benefit doesnt mean that one should not exercise in younger years. Overall effects of continuous physical activity decrease the risk of an early death.” The researchers also noted that while other research linking exercise to longevity has looked at physical activity at just one point in the lifetime, theirs is the first to examine the role of “participation in physical activity throughout the different stages of adulthood.” This new research demonstrates the crucial relationship between physical activity and the prevention of death at any age. 28. What can we infer from the passage? A. Exercising at any age helps one enjoy a happier life. B. Lifelong exercising can guarantee a lower death rate. C. Exercising in 40s and 50s may add years to ones life. D. Lack of physical activity leads to heart disease and cancer. 29. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To analyse a link between exercises and death rate. B. To compare the consequences of exercise in different ages. C. To explain the significant effects of continuous physical activity. D To introduce a new study on the benefits of exercise in middle age. 30. What is the authors attitude towards “waiting until middle age to get fit?” A. Doubtful.B. Disapproving.C. Supportive.D. Neutral. D A quiet space is often considered essential for achieving the concentration that leads to academic success. But research shows that some students may benefit from breaking the silence with certain kinds of music while they study. Music has a powerful influence on both the body and the brain, in ways that can help students navigate the physical and emotional barriers that come with academic challenges. One U.S. study compared students who took a test to soft music with those who took the test under silent conditions. The study found that students taking a test to music not only completed more questions within a set time but also answered more questions correctly. Music has been further linked to improvements in memory and recall. Experts have found that when music stimulates mood and motivation, students are able to learn more and to better demonstrate their knowledge. A bit of mood music affects more than just memory and recall when students hit the books. Music can also relieve stress associated with school. Scientists have learned that music engages the autonomic nervous system, which not only controls the unconscious functions of the body but also influences emotions. So its no surprise that researchers from the Group Health Research Institute concluded that certain kinds of background music can be just as effective at reducing stress as a massage. Furthermore, while the brain feels better with music, the body may as well. Research shows that certain types of music can make physical pain feel less intense. Whats more, calming music with a steady, meditative rhythm can help people sleep longer and more deeply. However, some educators express concern that listening to music while trying to concentrate may do more harm than good. Loud music may have a negative influence on a students mood or act as a distraction. Actually, the best approach may depend on the students themselves. Listening to music during study time may not mean a guaranteed A for all students, but those who find it helpful should be allowed to plug in their headphones. 31. What does the underlined word “navigate” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Recognize.B. Overcome.C. Assess.D. Create. 32. What can we learn from this passage? A. Music helps students get rid of physical pain. B. Loud music has the same calming effect as a massage. C. Listening to music makes it easier for students to multitask. D. Music helps students better remember relevant information. 33. The author writes Paragraph 3 mainly to _. A. present the effects of music on mind and body B. compare the functions of different types of music C. confirm the impacts of music on memory and recall D. give examples of the influences of music on emotions 34. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. The Power of SilenceB. Music to a Sharper Mind C. The Score to Better ScoresD.
