    C

    Are you afraid of change? Whether it is you personally or the working/living environment around you that changes, change will happen, it’s one guarantee I can give you and if you want success you need to make changes too.

       Throughout the history of mankind changes have happened and they will continue to do so until the end of time. I do not think I need give you a list of any of these events they are obvious to us all.

        Where are you going with this Steve, I hear you saying to yourself, everyone knows that changes happen all the time and we as human beings adapt accordingly. Well, yes, I agree with you to a point, but in that case why are we all not living the life we want in the world we want?

        Because some of us resist change, because we are afraid of the unknown factors that change may bring into our lives.

        Stop resisting and the changes will happen automatically, that is what happened to me when I started using hypnosis（睡眠状态） and mediation （沉思）to help me come to terms with the changes I needed to make to get out of Going Nowhere Land. I honestly believe that if I had not lost my fear of change when I did that there is absolutely no way that I would be enjoying life and the success I am having as much as I do at this moment in time.

         My intention is to carry on enjoying life to the full and to successfully help others to do the same and if that means making even more changes to my life, as it surely will, then bring them on and let’s get started.

        It does not matter if you start off making small changes like getting up early so that you can share breakfast with your loved ones, take some exercise or meditating before going to work, start making those changes now. By getting into the habit of making changes, you will accept change into your life, you will begin to change more of your old habits into new and better ones and even enjoy the feeling that making those changes brings and the success that comes with them.

    64. Which would be the best title for the passage?

    A. Are you afraid of change?         B. Changing for success.

    C. Why do you resist change.         D. Change brings happiness.

    65. The underlined phrase “come to terms with” in the fifth paragraph probably means “_______ “

    Reading Comprehension

    　　Imagine being on a treadmill(跑步机), wearing a face mask connected to oxygen-measuring equipment．You are walking at a leisurely pace, at the slowest setting, so your oxygen consumption is fairly low．As the speed of the treadmill increases, your metabolism(新陈代谢)increases, and as a result, your oxygen consumption goes up as well．Your muscle cells are using the extra oxygen to break down carbohydrates, which they use for fuel, and turn them into energy, so their metabolism is said to be aerobic(with air)．You are now jogging along at a comfortable speed, still supplying sufficient oxygen to your muscle cells, so your exercise is still aerobic．As you increase your speed, your oxygen consumption will continue to rise, but at some point, it will stop rising．That is because your heart and lungs have reached their maximum capacity for supplying oxygen to the muscles via the bloodstream．But you can still run a lot faster．Your speed keeps increasing and eventually you are running as fast as you can, but your oxygen consumption has not changed．Your muscle cells can keep on firing without getting the extra oxygen they need because they are able to break down carbohydrates without using oxygen．This is called anaerobic(without air)metabolism．Sprinters(短跑运动员), who run at top speed, perform most of their hundred-meter race anaerobically; in contrast, long-distance runners, who have time to vary their speed, perform most of their event aerobically．

    　　Anaerobic metabolism is far less efficient than aerobic metabolism but is capable of generating very high quantities of energy for short periods of time．It also generates lactic acid(乳酸)as a by-product．This is stored in the muscles and associated with muscle fatigue and general exhaustion．That is why sprinting cannot be kept up for very long．After sprinting, the lactic acid that has been stored in the muscles has to be broken down, and this requires oxygen, which explains why we breathe quickly after a hard run．

    (1)

    The body’s energy is usually obtained through the breakdown of ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    carbohydrates

    B．

    lactic acid

    C．

    the bloodstream

    D．

    oxygen

    (2)

    When you run, your body begins anaerobic metabolism ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    as you begin to pick up speed

    B．

    after sprinting is completed

    C．

    when your heart and lungs cannot supply enough oxygen

    D．

    when the lactic acid in your muscles must be broken down

    (3)

    Which of the following statements is true?

    [　　]

    A．

    Aerobic metabolism is more efficient than anaerobic metabolism．

    B．

    Aerobic metabolism breaks down carbohydrates without oxygen．

    C．

    Aerobic metabolism produces lactic acid．

    D．

    Aerobic metabolism happens for only brief periods．

    (4)

    The passage implies that during sprinting, ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    there is a dangerous pressure on the heart

    B．

    the body’s reserve of carbohydrates increases

    C．

    the body breaks down carbohydrates both with and without oxygen

    D．

    the body needs less energy than usual

    　　As people continue to grow and age, our body systems(系统)continue to change．At a certain point in your life your body system will begin to weaken．Your strength may become weaker．It may become more difficult for you to see and hear．The slow change of aging causes our bodies to lose some of their ability to bounce back from disease and injury．In order to live longer, we have always tried to slow or stop this change that leads us toward the end of our lives．

    　　Many factors(因素)decide your health．A good diet plays an important role．The amount and type of exercise you get is another factor．Your living condition is yet another．But scientists studying aging problem want to know：Why do people grow old?They hope that by studying the aging medical science they may be able to make the length of life longer．

    They say that the real marathon begins at 35 kilometers — the rest is just a warm up. And sure enough, in 2009, at around the 36 kilometer point of the Beijing Marathon I experienced what runners call “hitting the wall”. I had been doing well until that point, but suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my leg. My pace slowed down dramatically and every brain cell in my head seemed to be screaming “stop!!!”

    The last 5 kilometers were not fun; in fact, they were really hard work. Keeping motivated to run those last few kilometers was one of the hardest things I had ever done. But that is what makes running a marathon such a rewarding experience — if it were easy everyone would do it.

    ????????????? I have to admit it is sometimes not even easy to find the motivation to get out of bed, pull on your running shoes and head out into the morning to go for another run. These last two weeks of training for the Muztagata climb have been a little tough. I have been following my training plan for about three months but now I find that my original enthusiasm (热情) has all been used up. Day after day of going to the gym is beginning to wear me down and there still seems so much longer to keep this up. I have begun to doubt that I am actually making any progress or getting any fitter and even thought that I might be going backwards!

    These are all very common experiences for people who are working towards challenging, longer term goals and I have learned to recognize these “highs” and “lows” in my energy and enthusiasm. Over the years I have learned a number of tricks that help me to deal with the days when my early motivation seems to have abandoned me for good.

    1.Many runners say that the real marathon begins at 35 kilometers because it is at this point that __________.

    A. runners begin to enjoy running the marathon race

    B. runners are worn out as if they are breaking down

    C. the rest part is just the preparation for the race

    D. the race is a rewarding experience for runners

    2.When people are working extremely hard towards challenging, _________.

    A. they can keep themselves motivated all the time

    B. they will never hesitate to continue carrying out their plan

    C. they sometimes feel as if they stop making progress

    D. they will fail to keep their spirits up

    3.What is the author going to talk about in the following passage?

    A. How to get trained.????????????? ????????????? ????????????? ????????????? ?????????????

    B. Tips for becoming a marathon runner.

    C. How to meet challenges. ????????????? ????????????? ???????

    D. Tips for keeping motivation high.
