【题目】阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
British people love going to pubs. They often say "If you haven't been to a pub,you haven't been to Britain.”
The word "pub" is short for "Public House". There are over 60,000 pubs in the UK(53,000 in England and Wales, 5,200 in Scotland and 1,600 in Northern Ireland). One of the oldest pubs, Fighting Cocks in St. Albans Herts, is located(位于)in a building that dates back to the eleventh century.
Pubs are an important part of British life. People talk, eat, drink, meet their friends and relax there.
Pubs often have two bars, one usually quieter than the other. Many have a garden where people can sit in the summer. Children can go in pub gardens with their parents.
In pubs, groups of friends normally buy “rounds" of drinks, where the person whose turn it is will buy drinks for all the members of the group. It is sometimes difficult to get served when pubs are busy: people do not queue, but the bar staff will usually try and serve those who have been waiting the longest at the bar first. If you spill a stranger's drink by accident, it is good manners to offer to buy another drink.
Most pubs belong to a brewery(a company which makes beer) but sell many different kinds of beer, some on tap (from a big container under the bar) and some in bottles. The most popular kind of British beer is bitter, which is dark and served at room temperature (not hot, not cold). British beer is brewed from malt and hops.
Pubs have traditional names which date back over 600 years. Some typical names are The Chequers, The White Swan, The Crown, The King's Arms, The Red Lion and The White Horse. There is usually a sign outside the pub showing the pub’s name with a picture.
British pubs are required to have a license, which is difficult to get. And they are allowed to open for 24 hours every day. Most pubs are open from 11 to 11.
So next time when you go to UK, please go to one of the pubs. After all, seeing is believing!

You have probably dreamed about how you would change the world, only to find that it seems impossible. However, you may have the power to make 【1】 world better with baby steps. That's the idea behind the BA Challenge.
The BA Challenge is a public service activity started 【2】 Alibaba and Sina Weibo. It asks people 【3】 do something good and then record the changes before and after. Since its first appearance on Sina Weibo on Sept. 2, millions of people, including some famous stars, have taken 【4】 in it. For example, Chinese actor Huang Xiaoming sent mooncakes to old people 【5】 live alone. The young actor Xu Weizhou drew some trees in the desert, trying to show that working to 【6】 the environment can give us hope.
Though these little things may be easily ignored (忽视)in our daily 【7】, they strike a chord with many people. “The challenge makes me 【8】 in the miracle(奇迹)good actions again.” wrote a commenter(评论家)on Sina Weibo. “Though they are unimportant to one single person, they actually have a great impact on making the world 【9】 if we all do that.”
As the old Chinese saying goes, “Do not fail to do good even if it's small, do not engage in evil 【10】 if it's small.” Why don't we all set smaller goals? Then we may change the world slowly but surely, as a river changes a mountain.

【题目】 Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket — anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15thbirthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.
The following year he met John Ridgway and started to work as a teacher at Ridgway’s school of adventure(冒险)in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway’s cold—waterexploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures; he decided that this would be his future.
In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long—distance expedition (探险) towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his sled up and over the rocky mountains.

【题目】 A new research has discovered that meditation(冥想)and oxygen sport together reduce depression(抑郁). The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination, done twice a week for only two months, reduced the symptoms of a group of students by 40 percent.
“We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non-depressed students, ”said lead author Dr. Brandon Alderman.“It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression.”
Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive(交互的)effect in combating depression. Alderman and Dr. Tracey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training( MAP) enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them.
Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport. They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing, which enabled those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention.
Shors, who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus-part of the brain involved in memory and learning-says scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive.
The idea for the human intervention(干预)came from her laboratory studies, she says, with the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events.
By learning to focus their attention and exercise, people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past, Shors says.
“We know these treatments can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be affective in improving mental health, ”said Alderman.“The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone at any time and at no cost.”
【1】What made the research so different?
A.Adopting a way of meaningful talk.B.Treating depression with special medicine.
C.Combining the two ways to reduce depression.D.Comparing the depressed with the non-depressed.
【2】The underlined word "combasting" in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.
A.fightingB.developingC.improvingD.examining
【3】What can we know about what the participants did in the research?
A.They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking.B.They thought quietly and then took exercise.
C.They took exercise longer than they thought.D.They took exercise while thinking quietly.
【4】What is Shors' main purpose of her studies?
A.To find out certain brain cells of humans.B.To study the production of new brain cells.
C.To offer people a new method to reduce stress.D.To decide the links between stress and exercise.
