At the last minute, just before both swims, I decided to pull out. The reality is, I live in fear of coming last.Last year, before the two events, I realized that I couldn't deal with coming last. I had looked at the swim times of those who had completed the previous year and calculated that, at my current swim pace, I would probably have come last. T just couldn't face it. But when next year came around, I decided to enter those same events again.For a few months, I trained hard, but I didn't get any faster. Then it was June 5, the day of the Jubilee River 10 km. The event started at 9:30 am, and the swimmers were anxious and eager to start. As I swam along, the river was quiet and clean and everything was peaceful. The sun shone, Meadows （草地）rolled by and every now and then someone would wave at the scene unfolding in the water.As the day wore on, somehow I didn't mind that, predictably, almost everyone was ahead. There were at least some swimmers still near me, and although we shared the same river we quietly occupied our own spaces. As I concentrated on doing my own thing, watching the sky, the bank, the other swimming caps passing or not passing, I realized I was enjoying myself.In the end, four hours and 4 minutes after I'd started, I staggered （摇摇晃晃地走）out of the water and was greeted with a smile and a "well done“ from the race organizer. I glanced back over my shoulder toward the water and noticed that there were a small handful of swimmers who were still to finish, behind me, out of a field of around 300 swimmers. But it didn't matter. I_ was just elieved, proud and happy to finish.As I drove away, my thoughts turned to my next long race of the season and how much I was looking forward to it, my fears of coming last gently receding（渐渐远去）.1、 The author intended to quit swimming mainly because.A. she feared that she couldn't finish the two racesB. she was afraid that she would let family members downC. she was unwilling to accept the possibility of finishing lastD. she didn't fully prepared for the two races2、The author hopes to convey the message that.A. never give up when facing challengesB. it is process that matters mostC. failure is the mother of successD. winners always take it all3、What did the underlined sentence mean in the fifth paragraph?A. She took pride in leaving all the other swimmers behindB. She was proud that she was not the last one in the raceC. She was glad to finish the race and had a sense of reliefD. She was proud to be praised by the organizer4、It can be inferred from the end that the author is likely to.A. participate in another race without any hesitationB. analyze the reason why she failed in the raceC , lose confidence completelyD. decide whether she is suitable for the raceText 3You know those nutrition guidelines the government issues every few years? It turns out that following them isn't just good for your health. It's good for the planet, too.“What we found is that impacts vary across nations, but in the high-impact nations, in general, you can see that, if you follow a nationally recommended diet, despite the fact that these diets don't mention explicitly一or most of them don't explicitly mention-environmental impacts, that you are going to have lower environmental impacts due to that. So that's sort of fairly clear across all the high-income nations." said Paul Behrens, an environmental scientist at Leiden University in the Netherlands.The food we eat takes a big toll on the environment. A third of the ice-free land on Earth is used for agriculture, and according to some estimates, producing food accounts for roughly a fifth of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. Fertilizer runoff also leads to other problems, like the algae blooms in Lake Eerie and the Dead Zone in the Gulf of Mexico.However, following dietary guidelines would reduce those impacts, especially in wealthy countries like the US. "Most of the reductions come from meat and dairy, “ which have an outsized impact on land use and pollution, and are a major source of greenhouse gases.(That's partly due to cow farts. Seriously.) Following the suggestions would also mean eating fewer calories, since many people here eat more than they need.Overall, in high-income countries, Behren's team estimates that following the rules could result in as much as a 17 percent reduction in land use, a 21 percent reduction in nutrient pollution, and a 25 percent drop in agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. Cutting down on how much food we waste-which is roughly a third in the US-could help even more. The results are in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Of course, people are notoriously bad at following diets. But: “These nationally recommended guidelines do actually have a knock-on effect on other areas of policy making. So if Fm developing a new healthy-eating-for-schools program then that*s going to be based off a lot of detail that I get from the nationally recommended guidelines. So while it might not necessarily be the case that people follow directly . they actually are quite influential on the preparation of other advice.”It seems that a smaller environmental footprint and a healthier lifestyle could go hand in hand.1、Which of the following statement will Paul Behrens approve of?A. Following a nationally recommended diet can have similar impacts in different countries.B. Following a nationally recommended diet can do good to our health.C. Not all the countries have recommended diets in an explicit manner.D. Some high-income nations don't mention the diet explicitly for its impacts can be ignored.2、What do the underlined words "takes a big toll on“ in paragraph 3 probably mean?A , shows signs ofB. has a bad effect onC. takes full advantage ofD. makes up for3、Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Food production can lead to about 20 percent of human-caused greenhouse gas with only a third of the ice-free land used. B. It is estimated that following dietary guidelines can lead to decrease in more land use than in nutrient pollution.C. Paul Behrens' new program concerning healthy eating for schools is likely to be based on national nutrition guidelines.D. Some wealthy countries tend to reduce meat and dairy though the other areas of policy making isn't effected much.Text 4You might have heard a lot about ancient towns and ancient cities in China.
