I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise ,I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. It’s a smile because the DVD is over , but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit. ‎ Some people enjoy shopping, smoking , food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years , I have learned it’s okay to just say “no.” I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.‎ So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self –confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out. 21.Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning? A. Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully. B. Because she finishes her favorite exercise C. Because she enjoys the interesting DVD D. Because she feels a sense of achievement 22.What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean? A. Good health B. Firm belief C. A strong power D.A regular habit 23.What can we learn about the author from the text? A. She acts in a strange way B. She wants to look different from others C. She aims to develop a good body shape D. She has difficulty getting along with others B Exploit your parking space An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark. Rent a room ‎ ‎ Spare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy. Make money during special events Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space. Live on set Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked. Use your roof You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment(around￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof. 24. If you earn ￡5000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ______. A. ￡800 B. ￡500 C. ￡4500 D. ￡5000 25. Where can you put an advertisement to rent out a room during a big event? A. On Letpark. B. On Roomspare. C. On Grashpadder. D. On Roommateeasy. 26. If you want to use energy free, you have to_____. A. sign an agreement with the government B. pay around ￡14,000 for the equipment C. sell the roof to some energy companies D. keep the roof unchanged for within 25 years 27. For whom the text most probably written? A. Lodgers. B. Advertisers. C. House owners. D. Online companies C If doctors want to test you for something, they’ll usually take a blood or urine sample. But wouldn’t it be ‎ much more convenient if they just asked you to breathe through a special instrument? In fact, your breath can say a lot about you. In traditional Chinese medicine, doctors draw a conclusion about the health state of a patient based on the smell of his or her breath; trained dogs and rats can identify the smells of the breaths of people suffering from certain cancers; traffic police also monitor drivers’ alcohol consumption by testing their breaths. Just like blood and urine, your breath contains lots of “metabolites” —the waste chemicals that the body produces, which vary from person to person. They are like personal health fingerprints, which is why scientists sometimes call them “breathprints”, according to Science Daily. Compared to blood or urine testing, breath testing takes only seconds instead of hours, and it requires neither a needle nor a container to hold the body fluids(液). This means the test can be taken frequently to better detect early signs of diseases and monitor the progress of a medical treatment. On the other hand, as an identifier, you might think that breaths are not as reliable as fingerprints since they might change based on what you eat. However, researchers in Zurich‎, ‎Switzerland mapped 11 healthy volunteers’ chemical patterns by having them breathe through a special instrument, and they found that each pattern was unique and the patterns didn’t change much throughout the day, reported BBC. “Our goal is to develop breath analysis to the point where it becomes competitive with the established analysis of blood and urine,” said Malcolm Kohler, professor at the University Hospital Zurich. 28.According to the text we know that______. A. breath varies from person to person based on food B. your breath may give you away if you are not careful C. doctors can test one’s breath to find about his illness D. trained dogs can identify people with certain cancers 29. In comparison with blood or urine testing, breath testing is _______. A. comfortable and convincing B. traditional and reliable C. accurate and competitive D. quick and convenient 30.What is the author’s attitude toward breath testing? A. Doubtful. B. Approving. C. Unconcerned. D. Worried. 31. What can we infer from the text? A. Breath testing is reliable and may have a bright future. B. Blood or urine testing will be less used in medical treatment. ‎ ‎ C. Doctors have found the best way to detect early signs of diseases. D. Traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more popular.‎ D Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.‎ By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic (逻辑) behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power.”‎ Try this experiment. Explain how you’ll increase your brain power, even if you have no idea right now. Just start with anything, and create an explanation. For example, start with “I’ll learn chess,” or “I’ll read an article on the mind every week.” Explain how that will help. You’ll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan, and if you actually do this, you’ll have a better understanding of your brain from now.‎ Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project, you’ll probably have more success.‎ Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. That’s an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem, why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and you’re half-way there.‎ Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often, they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.‎ ‎32. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. A Way‎ on How to Write.           B. Increase Your Brain Power through Writing.‎ C. How to Start Your Writing.         D. Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing.‎ ‎33. According to the text, writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPT _____.‎ A. the increase of your brain power           B. the ability to remember C. the development of your interest in study   D. the better understanding of a topic ‎34. The underlined sentence “you’re half-way there” in the fifth paragraph implies that ______.‎ A. you are already successful              B. you still need to work hard C. writing can help you walk half way       D. You have been on the way to success ‎35. What’s the main purpose of the writer writing the text?‎ A. To advise readers to start their writing.    B. To explain the importance of writing.‎ C. To persuade readers to become writers.      D. To increase readers’ brain power.‎ 第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文的内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项 It’s normal to wake briefly during the night.    36     . But if you’re waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep, the following tips may help.‎ The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position. Hard as it may be, try not to stress over the fact that you’re awake.    37    .So just focus on the feelings and sensations in your body.‎ If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization, deep breathing, or meditation (沉思).    38    .

Do a quiet, non-stimulating activity.‎ If you’ve been awake for more than 15 minutes, try getting out of bed and doing a quiet, non-stimulating activity, such as reading a book. Keep the lights dim so as not to think that it’s time to wake up.     39    . The type of light they send out is stimulating(刺激)the brain.

Similarly, if a great idea is keeping you awake, make a note of it on paper and fall back to sleep, knowing you’ll be much more productive and creative aft-er a good night’s rest.‎ A.
