. Grammar and VocabularySection ATo Be Joyful, To Be Young What really works to make sustainable changes in diet and lifestyle? Its probably not what you think. In the past 30 years of conducting clinical research, I (21)           (learn) that real keys are pleasure, joy and freedom. Joy of living is sustainable; fear of dying is not. Why? Because life is to be enjoyed. Theres no point (22)           (abandon) something you enjoy unless you get something back thats even better, and quickly. When people eat more healthfully, (23)           (quit) smoking, and manage stress better, they find they feel so much better, so quickly. It reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living.  When you exercise and eat right, your brain receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, have more energy, and need less sleep. Two studies showed just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many neurons(神经细胞) (24)            (grow) that it actually increased the size of peoples brains! Your face receives more blood flow, so your skin glows more and wrinkles less. You look younger and more attractive. In contrast, an unhealthy diet, lasting emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face (25)                       you age more quickly. Smoking speeds up aging because nicotine contributes to your blood vessel becoming narrower, (26)           decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle prematurely. This is why smokers look years older than they really are. One of the most interesting findings was that the mothers awareness of stress was more important than (27)           was objectively occurring in their lives. (28)           (give) a questionnaire, the women were asked to rate on a three-point scale how stressed they felt each day. The women who realized they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres(染色体端粒) compared with (29)           who felt more relaxed. Contrarily, some of the women who felt relaxed (30)           raising a disabled child had more normal-appearing telomeres.  In other words, if you feel stressed, you are stressed.Section BDirections：After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections：For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. “Nature and Nurture” People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behavior are formed. However, it is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is 41 _.Social scientists are of course 42_ interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behavior. There are no clear answers yet, but two43_schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debated between 44_ of each theory. The controversy(争论)is often conveniently referred to as “nature and nurture” Those who 45 _ the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are 46_ determined by biological factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is 47_ to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory states that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our 48 _. Supporters of the “nurture” theory, or , as they are often called, 49 _, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorists s view of the human being is quite mechanistic. They state that, like machines, humans respond to 51_ stimuli(刺激) as the basis of their behavior. Socially and politically, the consequences of these two theories are 52 _. In the US, for example, blacks often score below white on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” supporters to conclude that blacks are genetically lower in status than whites are. Behaviorists, 53_ ,say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same 54 _that whites do. Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. As a matter of fact, it is quite 55_ that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes and that the controversy will continue for a long time is certain.41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A） Im a student in my fourth year of a biomedical science degree at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, but I also work 38 hours a week at Sainsburys to make ends meet. I do three night shifts a week, plus overtime if I can get it. Monday is the most occupied day for me - I work from 10 pm until 8 am on Saturday and Sunday nights, earning just over £100 a night, and then I have to be at my first lecture at 9 am on Monday. By the time I finish lectures, at 2 pm, Im exhausted, but I know I have to be back at work by 10 pm. I constantly have to force myself to stay awake, and to be alert, whatever it takes. A packet of Skittles and a Red Bull usually helps. The work I do at Sainsburys is very physical like stacking shelves. Im lucky because Im an active person and the amount I lift at work is nothing compared with the weights I lift in the gym. I know I have the strength to bear it. Im originally from Nigeria. I came here when I was seven, growing up in Croydon, south London. Money was tight. My parents gave me everything I needed, but there was no money to spend on luxuries. I worked hard at school though and, with the help of GT Scholars, I got some of the best A-level grades in my class.Unfortunately, though I had applied for “settled” British residential status when very young, the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to approve my application. That meant I wasnt eligible for a student loan. The only way I could afford to go to university was that if I got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents, who work in market research, paid for my tuition fees. In Scotland, thats about £7,000 a year. I dont have much time to socialize because of my job. Ideally, I would also like to have more time to study so I can excel at my course. Yes, I have a lot on my plate, but working hard isnt new to me. Growing up, my parents and my mentors in the church and at GT Scholars cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what I want in life. My dream is to do an MA in physiotherapy next year and then get a job working for the NHS. But right now, Im just focused on trying to get the best grades I can. Whenever I find life hard, I tell myself this is about my future. I dont need much, but I would like to worry less about money and have more free time. That is what I look forward to the most.56.
