Investing in yourself
Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.
【1】Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.
You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education.【2】 There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.
So what are some specific things you can do?【3】. Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I’m talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books. You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill.【4】 Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation. Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isn’t 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little when inflation(通货膨胀) is taken into consideration【5】 But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.
A. This is just one way.
B. The benefits will stay with you.
C. If you aren’t a reader, you should start with that.
D. The more you do this, the more valuable you will be.
E. Of course, you need to do some research before investing.
F. The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.
G. When you invest in yourself, you may not see gains right away.
【答案】
【1】F
【2】A
【3】C
【4】E
【5】G
【解析】
【1】根据下句,Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. 一些会提高你的知识、技能或健康的事情都是不错的投资。得知是要对自己投资。选F。
【2】根据You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education.和下一句There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill除了投资教育,这是一种方式而已,你还可以办健身会员或学习新技能,因此这说的是一方面和其他方面。因此表示过渡选A。
【3】下一句中提到阅读可以开阔你的思维,学到新的技能和获得知识。因此前面说如果你不是读者,应该开始阅读。选C。
【4】为了避免被一些销售假象所蒙蔽,你应该在投资前做一些调查。选E。
【5】但是随着时间的推移,你会发现成效。因此前面在说对自己的投资可能不会立竿见影。选G。

Five reasons your scale might be wrong
1. You weigh yourself on different days each week.
In a Cornell university study published last year, researchers analyzed the food weight diaries that 80 people kept for up to a year. They found that people’s weight changed considerably throughout the week. 【1】 Keep weigh-in days consistent for a more accurate assessment.
2. 【2】
File this one under “Yes, scientists have actually studied this.” When University of North Dakota researches weighed people with and without clothes at various times of the year, they found that men can reduce 2.5 pounds for their clothing and women can reduce around two pounds, on average.
3. You don’t take muscle gain into consideration.
You’ve heard that muscle is denser (密度大的) than fat. 【3】 If you start a strength-training routine, the number on the scale (秤) might not change, but you could still lost inches and drop a clothing size or two.
4. You just drank a lot of water.
It’s called water weight for a reason: Drinking one pound of water can translate to about one pound of weight. So if you stand on the scale soon after drinking an entire water bottle’s worth, you might not like what you see. 【4】
5. You weigh yourself after hard exercise.
Compared with water weight, if you weigh in after a tiring cycling class, you may lose weight temporarily because you work up a good sweat . 【5】
A.You miscalculate your clothing.
B.But don’t worry, it’s just a temporary/span> gain.
C.Salty foods cause your body to save extra water.
D.In fact, it takes up only about a third as much space.
E.Jump on the scale if you need to improve.
F.You should be aware of how much water you have drunk.
G.Many people were heaviest on Mondays and lightest on Fridays.

【题目】There are many people who say Thomas Edison invented the twentieth century. Although there are those who may disagree, yet Edison was one of the greatest inventors in America.
Born in 1847 in Ohio, Thomas Edison attended school for only three months. After his teacher said that he could not learn, Edison’s mother decided to teach him at home. There he was allowed to study the subjects that most interested him. By age ten, Edison had built a science laboratory of his own.
Edison got his first job at age twelve on the railway selling candy and newspapers. There he once saved a boy whose father was the boss of the railway station. In return the boss helped him a lot.
In his late twenties, Edison built an “invention factory” where he and his business partners could devote all their time to inventing. After improving upon the telephone, Edison created the phonograph(留声机). Although Edison did not actually invent the light bulb, he did create an electric lighting system which led to its widespread use.
Edison set up the first central electric power station in 1882, so New York became the first city in the world to have electric lights. This was the beginning of the modern world in which electricity became a way of life.
The following year, one of Edison’s engineers discovered electrons(电子), which at last led to electronics. Without electronics, we might not have radio, TV, computers, or space travel. The rest of Edison’s life was spent making and improving inventions.
Thomas Edison died at the age of eighty-four in 1931. Three days later, much of America dimmed(使暗淡) its lights in honor of the inventor—a man who had more impact (影响)on the development of present-day civilization than anyone else in history.
【1】The passage tells us that ________.
A. Edison didn’t like to study at school
B. Edison invented the light bulb in his late twenties
C. even without electronics, we might have radio, TV, computers, or space travel
D. New York was the first city in the world to have electric lights
【2】From the passage, we can infer that _________.
A. Edison’s teacher thought Edison was not worth teaching
B. Edison’s mother stopped Edison studying at school
C. Edison didn’t invent many things in all his life
D. Edison didn’t spend his life working on these inventions when he was old
【3】Why did many Americans dim their lights when Edison died? ________.
A. Americans wanted to save more energy.
B. Americans were used to dimming their lights.
C. Americans dimmed their lights in memory of the great inventor.
D. Americans were made to dim their lights.
【4】The best title for this passage is ________.
A. Edison, a Poor Man
B. Edison, a Great Inventor
C. Edison Died at 84
D. Edison and His Childhood

【题目】A California man who was feeling sick almost died recently from a shocking cause.
26-year-old Luis Ortiz went to a hospital because of a headache and nausea(恶心,作呕). When doctors examined him, they were shocked to find a tapeworm larva(绦虫幼虫) in his brain. The story gets stranger. The larva was still alive.
The creature had caused a cyst(囊肿) to form inside his head. The cyst was restricting the flow of liquids to different areas of his brain. The situation was so serious that doctors said they had to perform an emergency operation to remove the larva.
A doctor who operated on Ortiz told him he had only 30 minutes to live. When the doctor pulled the worm out of his head, it was still moving.
Luis Ortiz was a student at California State University in Sacramento. He began experiencing headaches in late August. But Ortiz said he did not think the headaches were serious.
In September, he visited a friend and his parents in another city. That is when the pain got worse. His mother saw Ortiz throwing up and took him to a hospital emergency room.
The doctors saved Ortiz's life. However, the surgery also affected him. Ortiz had to drop out of school and move back home. For now, he is not permitted to work or drive a vehicle.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the U.S. has about 1,000 reported cases of tapeworms each year. The CDC adds that tapeworms are more common in developing countries with poor public health systems.
The best way to avoid a tapeworm infection (感染)is to wash fruits and vegetables. Also, make sure meat is cooked thoroughly. The CDC suggests cooking all meats to an internal temperature of at least 63 degrees Celsius.
【1】What caused Luis Ortiz to feel sick and headaches?
A. Dirty food eaten in August.
B. Travelling for a long way,
C. A living creature in his brain.
D. Uncooked meat eaten by him.
【2】If the doctors didn’t have an emergency operation on him , Luis Ortiz was likely to ________ _ .
A. die of cancer
B. live for only half an hour
C. finish studying in school
D. pass the driving tests
【3】How should people avoid infecting tapeworms?
A. By washing fruits and vegetable.
B. By boiling plates and bowls before meals.
C. By cooking meats to at least 63 °C outside,
D. By improving the development of economy.
【4】What did the writer think of the cause of Luis Ortiz’s disease?
A. Quite frightening. B. Very dangerous.
C. Rather puzzling. D. Extremely surprising.

【题目】Television has turned 88 years old on September 7, 2015, and it has never looked better. In its youth, television was a piece of furniture with a tiny, round screen showing unclear pictures of low-budget programs. In spite of its shortcomings, it became popular. Between 1950 and 1963, the number of American families with a television jumped from 9% to 92% of the population.
As the audience got larger, the technology got better. Television sets became more reliable through the 1960s. The reception (接收效果) improved. The picture improved. The major networks started broadcasting programs in color.
Even greater improvements were coming according to Sanford Brown, who wrote an article for the Post in 1967. Surprisingly, just about every prediction he made in the article became a reality. For example: All sets in the not-distant future will be color instruments. He also predicted that TV sets would become smaller, simpler, more reliable and less expensive and may forever put the TV repairman out of work. Smaller sets do not, of course, mean smaller screens. TV engineers expect screens to get much bigger. However, today’s 3-D TV is even farther away, if it’s coming at all. There is some doubt whether the public would be eager to pay for it, in view of people’s cold reception given to 3-D movies.
But the technology with the greatest potential, according to Brown, was cable television (有线电视), which was still in its early stages then. As he predicted, the future of cable television was highly interactive (互动的). It wasn’t cable television that gave Americans their electronic connection to the world, however. It was the Internet. He even foresaw the future office: using picture phones, big-screen televisions for conferences, and computers providing information at the touch of a button.
Brown ever said, “The future of television is no longer a question of what we can invent. It’s a question of what we want.”
【1】What can we infer about television sets in the 1960s?
A. They were very popular with Americans.
B. The reception showed no improvement.
C. They showed black-and-white pictures.
D. They were out of order now and then.
【2】Which of the followings did Sanford Brown fail to predict?
A. Television’s good quality.
B. The invention of 3-D TV.
C. The future office’s model.
D. The potential of cable TV.
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A. The shortcomings of television.
B. The bright future of television.
C. The development of television.
D. The invention of television.
