Read the passage followed by some questions or unfinished statements. Choose the best answer from the four choices marked A., B., C. and D. When someone gives you advice, listen without judgment, try to find value in what you’re hearing, and say: “Thank you”. This wise advice is easy to understand yet hard to practice. I’ll give you an example from my life when I totally blew it in terms of practicing what I teach. In my work I travel constantly. I always put off going to the airport until the last second. My wife, Lyda, was sitting next to me in the front seat. I was racing along and not paying much attention. Lyda cried out, “Look out! There is a red light up ahead.” Being a trained behavioral science professional who teaches others the value of encouraging advice naturally screamed at her, “I know there is a red light up ahead! Don’t you think I can see?” When we arrived at the airport, Lyda didn’t speak to me. I wondered why she seemed mad at me. During the flight to New York, I did a cost-benefit analysis. I asked myself, “What was the cost of just listening when Lyda called out the warning? Zero.” I then reasoned, “What was the potential benefit? What could have been saved?” Several potential benefits came to mind, including her life, my life, and the lives of other people. I landed in New York feeling ashamed of myself. I immediately called Lyda and told her my cost-benefit story. I convinced her, “The next time you help me with my driving, I am just going to say, ‘Thank you’ . A few months passed, and I had long forgotten the incident. Again, I was racing off to the airport, when Lyda cried out, “Look out for the red light!” I was embarrassed, and then shouted, “Thank you!” I’m a long way from perfect, but I’m getting better. My suggestion is that you get in the habit of asking the important people in your life how you can do things better. And be ready for an answer. Some people may tell you things like “Look out for the red light.” When this happens, remember that there is possibly some potential benefit. Then just say, “Thank you.”【缺少答案，请补充】

Directions:Read the passage followed by some questions or unfinished statements. Choose the best answer from the four choices marked A., B., C. and D. The Dragon Boat Festival was originally established in memory of Qu Yuan and later developed by Goujian as a common practice. The Jinchu Chronicle (《荆楚岁时记》) says, “On the fifth day of the lunar month of May, Qu Yuan plunged into the Miluo River and tried to kill himself. Boats were sent to save him.” So it is clear that saving the poet Qu Yuan was the real purpose of dragon boat rowing. In the distant past, there was no one fixed style for the boats or names for the boats. Then, later, because the people worshiped the dragon as a form of protection from god, the boats were built and painted in the style of a dragon and were given names like “dragon boat” or “dragon ship”. The term “dragon boat paddling” was replaced with “dragon boat rowing”, where paddling means paddling slowly and leisurely, but rowing needs oarsmen to bend their bodies forward and make a great effort to row as fast as possible to save Qu Yuan. Over the long course of evolution, this “dragon boat rowing” has become a water sport. For the race, the boats are arranged in a line and, as soon as the starting gun fires, the rowers row as fast as possible, with commands from the coxswain in the bow. The boats race ahead and the audience on the banks wave flags and shout slogans or honk horns. The first dragon boat over the line draws thunderous applause and there are firecrackers for celebration. There is also the story about the custom of wrapping up zongzi, which prevails in China and other countries. At first, people filled bamboo tubes with rice and threw them into rivers in memory of Qu Yuan and later people were told that the rice they threw had been swallowed by water dragons. People were suggested that they wrap the rice up and bind it with five-colored thread to frighten the dragons away and keep them from eating the food. Nonetheless, the rice and meat are wrapped in bamboo leaves called “Zong leaves” and tied up with fine salt herbs instead of five-color thread.【缺少答案，请补充】

Directions: Read the passage followed by some questions or unfinished statements. Choose the best answer from the four choices marked A., B., C. and D.. As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner. “Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart. Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group participated in a program of non-aerobic (无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health. “We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump (泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says. “The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.” Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.【缺少答案，请补充】
