12、n, that goes, “Dance like no one is watching, love like youll never be hurt, sing like no one is listening, and live like its heaven on earth.” I seems like the perfect life philosophy-and one Ive learned to apply to running over the year.But I didnt always feel this way. In my early days, when I we

13、ighed 240 pounds, I ran like everyone was watching-and judging. If I was on a run and saw a car approaching, Id stop and pretend I was looking for something Id lost I bought the high-tech gear and clothes that I thought would make people believe I was a runner. And I didnt have a clue if the expensi

I really thought that other people cared about my performance. The best example of this was a combined, two-lap ma

15、rathon in Florence, Italy. As I approached the finishing line, the crowd began to cheer. I was surprised. Here I was, thousands of miles from home, and the Italians were shouting for “IIPenguino.”About 20 yards from the finishing, the truth set in when the winner of the full marathon went past me as

16、 I was finishing the half-marathon. No one was cheering for me. no one probably even noticed that I was finishing. I couldnt help but smile at my own illusion of self-importance.Thats when I realized I had been running for every reason except the right one. I ran to make other people happy, ran to l

Ive learned to run like no one is watching.So if you see me at race, and I look like a 60-year-old guy waddling(

21、 knowledge that what British people call “football” is known as “soccer” in the US, and “colour” in British English(BrE) goes without the “u” in American English (AmE). But according to a chart made recently by website Grammar Check, these are far from being the only differences between the two coun

22、tries use of English. The chart outlined 63 of the main contrasts between BrE and AmE, from the more well-known “lift/elevator” and “autumn/fall” to the lesser-known “garden/yard” and “petrol/gasoline”.Some of the vocabulary mismatches are so different that two people in a conversation may fail to u

23、nderstand each other. For example，the two countries have different names for certain food. “ Biscuits “ and “sweets” in Britain are known as “cookies” and “candy” , respectively, in the US. But while getting food names mixed up only causes confusion, some misunderstandings may lead to embarrassment

24、if youre not careful. I f a British man in the US is asked to show up a party in “pants”, theres a chance that he might get a lot of stares from other guests. “Pants” in the UK means underwear. “Trousers” are what you need to ask a British friend to wear if you dont want them to cause a scene among

25、your friends.However, even if 63 is already a lot, there are still many differences that the chart failed to cover. If a US girl walks into a UK barber and says “I want to have my bangs fixed”, for example, it could take a while before the hairdresser realizes what she means is actually her “fringe”

Now for over a year, the girls have been working af

29、ter school and over the winter and spring breaks to complete their project. “They have this amazing drive that Ive never seen before, ” said Violet Mardirosian, a math teacher at San Fernando High. “I thought at the beginning that maybe some of them would give up, saying I didnt expect this much wor

30、k, but they dont. Theyre just working hard and theyre not giving up.”Living in a low-income community (社区), the girls have seen the problem of homelessness first-hand, which is why they chose that population to create a product for. Many of them are also from immigrant families and hope the solar-po

31、wered shelter might help refugees(难民). Seventeen-year-old Maggie Mejia said that while she had no engineering experience, the girls figured out as a team how to create the prototype (雏形), using how-to videos and books that taught them how to code. But the most important lesson shes learned over the

32、course of the project isnt technical. “Ive learned a lot about helping others, helping the community and showing a better world to other people,” she said.The girls have been invited to MIT to show their invention. Mardirosian says all the participating students have expressed interest in going into

33、 STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields and that students from lower grades are already expressing interest in being involved next year. She says, “Many of them didnt think about engineering before. They thought maybe theyre not made out to be an engineer. But working together,

34、now they realize theyre all needed in this field. Everyone has found their importance in this picture.”1、Why did Mardirosian think some girls would quit the subject?AIt was not practical in real life.BIt demanded a lot of time and energy.CIt was not supported by their math teacher.DIt required a lot

35、 of money and expert knowledge.2、Why did the girls decide to create a solar-powered shelter?ATo save energy.BTo win a scholarship.CTo help the homeless.DTo be admitted to MIT.3、According to Maggie, what is the most valuable lesson she has learned from the project?AHow to code.BThe power of teamwork.

36、CThe way to teach herself.DHow to make the world a better place.4、What does Mardirosian think of the project?AIt taught girls to be independent.BIt should be continued next year.CIt inspired girls interest in STEM.DIt showed the importance of engineering.24（8分）If you dont have a college degree, your

37、e at greater risk of developing memory problems or even Alzheimers (老年痴呆). Education plays a key role in lifelong memory performance and risk for mental disorder, and its well documented that those with a college degree possess a cognitive（认知的） advantage over their less educated counterparts in midd

38、le and old age. Now, a large national study from Brandeis University published in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry shows that those with less schooling can significantly make up for poorer education by frequently engaging in mental exercises such as word games, puzzles, reading, and lect

39、ures. “The lifelong benefits of higher education for memory in later life are quite impressive, but we do not clearly understand how and why these effects last so long,” said lead author Margie Lachman, a psychologist. She suggested that higher education may encourage lifelong interest in cognitive

40、efforts, while those with less education may not engage as frequently in mental exercises that help keep the memory agile (敏捷地). But education early in adulthood does not appear to be the only route to maintain your memory. The study found that intellectual activities undertaken regularly made a dif

41、ference. “Among individuals with low education, those who are engaged in reading, writing, attending lectures, doing word games or puzzles once a week or more had memory scores similar to people with more education,” said Lachman. The study, called Midlife in the United States, assessed 3,343 men an

42、d women between the ages of 32 and 84 with a mean age of 56 years. Almost 40 percent of the participants had at least a 4-year college degree. The researchers evaluated how the participants performed in two cognitive areas, verbal memory and executive function - brain processes involved in planning,

43、 abstract thinking and cognitive flexibility. Participants were given a battery of tests, including tests of verbal fluency, word recall, and backward counting. As expected, those with higher education said they engaged in cognitive activities more often and also did better on the memory tests, but

44、some with lower education also did well, explained Lachman. “The findings are promising because they suggest there may be ways to level the playing field for those with lower educational achievement, and protect those at greatest risk for memory declines,” said Lachman. “Although we can not rule out

45、 the possibility that those who have better memories are the ones who take on more activities, the evidence is consistent with cognitive plasticity (可塑性), and suggests some degree of personal control over cognitive functioning in adulthood by adopting an intellectually active lifestyle.”1、What is th

46、e text mainly about?AHigher education has a better cognitive advantage.BBetter memories result from college degree.CCognitive activity does a mind good.DPoor education has more risk of memory declines.2、According to the result of Margie Lachmans study, we can conclude that _.Aeducation is responsibl

49、he findings of the Lachmans study promising?AThe lower educated may have the same opportunities to keep up memory.BWe may have ways to cure the people who have memory declines.CAdopting a different lifestyle can control over cognitive functioning.DWe can find out the possibility to have better memor

53、he Golden Age of Islam, one of the great explosions of scientific and cultural achievements in world history.
