【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Part of the fun of watching sports events is following an exciting rivalry (竞争关系).
But where do all these rivalries come from?
Some rivalries start because athletes spend a lot of time close to opponents (对手).
Other rivalries get personal. Things that one rival says that are thought to be not respectful to the other can cause a rivalry, even if the words are misunderstood. And sometimes, rivalries grow just because the athletes don't like each other's personalities.
Some sports may also be more likely than others to cause rivalries. “Some sports only meet a few times, so there is less chance for rivalries to build,” For example, in sports where athletes perform on their own, such as diving, rivalries might also take longer to appear than in sports in which athletes compete at the same time. But in tennis, players often face each other, and rivalries are more likely to happen.
So do the rivalries do good or harm to the athletes?
Some believe that rivalries can be a good thing because they encourage athletes to try harder to win. But rivalries can also become too personal, taking athletes' attention away from their sports.
Keegan agreed that rivalries often do athletes more harm than good. “They can be a huge distraction (分散注意力的事) and lead to focusing on the opponent more than the game,” he said.
“Top athletes often have physical and mental training that they follow in order to worry less and prepare to compete”, Gould further explained. An important part of that preparation is preventing from distractions, including rivalries.
“The better athletes don't care too much about a rivalry – they try to treat every competition the same,” Gould told LiveScience.
(1)According to the article, which of the following sports is least likely to cause a rivalry?
A.Tennis.
B.Swimming.
C.Diving.
D.Soccer.
(2)Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A.Rivalries between athletes may result from misunderstandings.
B.The more often you meet your opponent, the more you dislike him or her.
C.Rivalries mainly come from a dislike for each other's personalities.
D.Audiences easily get bored if there are few rivalries in a competition.
(3)Why does Keegan think rivalries could do more harm than good to athletes?
A.Rivalries could result in physical and mental suffering.
B.Rivalries could cause athletes to worry needlessly.
C.Rivalries could drive athletes to train too hard.
D.Rivalries could distract athletes from their sports.
(4)In Gould's eyes, top athletes ______.
A.care little about their competition
B.focus more on the game than on their opponents
C.treat every competition as daily training
D.take every possible opportunity to become stronger

Xinhua News—The Beijing government has set out to recruit thousands of university graduates to work as junior officials in rural areas to both improve rural administration and ease the city's employment problems.
The government plans to recruit 3,000 university graduates this year, 1,000 more than last year, to work as assistants to village heads or party secretaries in suburban areas.
People interested in jobs in Beijing's rural villages and towns can send applications to Beijing Municipal Bureau of Personnel or log on to www.bjbys.com from February 1 through March 15.
“We hope university graduates will seize this opportunity to use their knowledge in rural villages and to start their careers,” Sun Zhenyu, the Deputy Director of Beijing Personnel Bureau, told Xinhua News Agency.
The government has promised successful candidates a monthly salary of 2,000 Yuan in the first year, 2,500 Yuan the second year and 3,000 the third year, provided their performance is up to the required standards, Sun said.
Wang Lina, who graduated from Beijing Union University last year, was one of the first graduates to find work in the city's countryside. After majoring in Industrial and Commercial Administration, Wang served as the assistant to the village head of Ertiaojie Village in suburban Beijing's Pinggu District. For one project, Wang contacted people at Beijing Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences and arranged for the local farmers to receive training in strawberry planting. Her efforts paid off. The village had a plentiful harvest of organic strawberries earlier this year.

About 1.4 million of them are unlikely to find jobs when they graduate. In Beijing, a record of 200,000 people are expected to graduate from university this year.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Old age may not sound exciting.But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older.Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty.In fact,they say by the age of eightyfive,people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States.The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008.At that time,the people were between the ages of eighteen and eightyfive.The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness,sadness and worry.They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study.His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twentytwo and twentyfive.The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older.However,women at all ages reported more sadness,stress and worry than men.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older.One theory is that,as people grow older,they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings.They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world,or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children,being unemployed or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and wellbeing related to age.
(1)According to the survey of The Gallup Organization,people are most likely to become happier .
A.when they are between ages of 18 and 85

【题目】根据短文内容,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。Guide for Teenagers
The teenage years can be tough,and it's normal to feel sad every now and then. But if these feelings don't go away or become so intense that you can't handle them,you may be suffering from depression.
Try not to isolate yourself
When you're depressed,you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything. Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult,but isolating yourself only makes depression even worse. . Spend time with friends,especially those who are active.
Keep your body healthy
Making healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your moods. Ever heard of “Runners High”?Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression,so get involved in sports,ride your bike,or take a dance class. Any activity helps! . As for food,make sure you're feeding your mind with plenty of fruits,vegetables,and whole grains.
Avoid alcohol and drugs
You maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a “mood boost”,even if just for a short time. However,substance abuse can not only make depression worse,but can cause you to become more depressed. . You will need special treatment for your substance abuse problem.

Stress and worry can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming. In addition,if you have a health concern you feel you can't talk to your parents about,see a doctor. A health professional can help you approach your parents and guide you toward appropriate treatment. If you're dealing with relationships,friendships,or family problems,talk to an adult you trust.
A.Ask for help if you are stressed
B.Even a short walk can be beneficial
C.Turn to your parents for help
D.As you get out into the world,you may find yourself feeling better
E.In short,drinking and taking drugs will make you feel worse—not better—in the long run
F.The more exercise you do,the healthier you will be
G.Help is available and you have more power than you think
