The next day I reached the ITO area and 20 in the sun for an hour asking everybody for the Technical Recruitment Cell, but no one had any idea 21 it was.

Children’s Activities（6---13 years）---Sumer 2017

There is no chance of children getting bored in the holidays with these action-packed weeks of fun and games.

William Purkey, a well-known professor of education, said, “Dance like no one is watching, love you’ll never be hurt, sing like no one is listening, and live like it’s heaven on earth.” It seems like the perfect life philosophy --- and one I’ve learned to apply to running over the year.

But I didn’t always feel this way. In my early days, when I weighed 240 pounds, I ran like everyone was watching — and judging. If I was on a run and saw a car approaching, I’d stop and pretend I was looking for something I’d lost. I bought the high-tech gear and clothes that I thought would make people believe I was a runner. And I didn’t have a clue if the expensive shoes I was wearing were the right kind for me --- I just wanted to look like I fit in with this group.

To be honest, I felt a certain satisfaction in believing that someone was watching. I really thought that other people cared about my performance. The best example of this was a combined, two-lap marathon in Florence, Italy. As I approached the finishing line, the crowd began to cheer. I was surprised. Here I was, thousands of miles from home, and the Italians were shouting for “IIPenguino.”

About 20 years from the finishing, the truth set in when the winner of the full marathon went past me as I was finishing the half – marathon. No one was cheering for me. No one probably even noticed that I was finishing. I couldn’t help but smile at my own illusion of self-importance.

That’s when I realized I had been running for every reason except the right one. I ran to make other people happy, ran to live up to their expectations. But no one was watching ---no one cared. So I decided I was going to run for me—just me—and gained a new enjoyment from the sport I hadn’t truly experienced yet. I’ve learned to run like no one is watching.

So if you see me at race, and I look like a 60-year-old guy waddling（蹒跚）along, don’t worry. I’m fine. The miracle isn’t that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start. 41．The writer presents the passage by ________. A．telling his running story

- 9 - / 15

B．explaining a life philosophy C．listing some life rules D．introducing quotations

42．It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that the writer ________. A．used sports clothes and shoes to attract attention B．was concerned about what others thought of her C．liked to be the focus of other runners D．struggled to find the right shoes to fit her

43．When the writer was near the finishing line, ________. A．she smiled at her own achievement B．the crowd cheered for her madly C．nobody really cared about her running D．she realized the importance of confidence

44．Now the writer thought the reason for running is to ________. A．live up to others’ expectation B．create a miracle in her own life C．run like no one is watching D．enjoy the pleasure of running

45．By telling her own story, the writer wanted to ________. A．tell us to live a life of our own B．inspire more people to run

C．expect us to improve our health by running D．stress the importance of determination

C

Soaping up your hands may do more than just get rid of germs. It may wash away the inner confusion you feel right after being forced to make a choice between two appealing choices, according to a new study. The study builds on past research into a phenomenon known as “the Macbeth effect”.

It turns out that Shakespeare was really onto something when he imagined lady Macbeth trying to clean her conscience（良心）by rubbing invisible bloodstains from her hands. A few years ago, scientists asked people to describe a past wrong act. If people were then given a chance to clean their hands, they later expressed less guilt than people who hadn’t cleaned.

This finding fascinated W. S. Lee, a researcher. “Anything from the past, any kind of negative emotional experiences, might be washed away,” says Lee.

He decided to test hand washing’s effect on one kind of bad feeling: the tension we feel after being forced to choose between two attractive choices, because picking one choice makes us feel that we’ve lose the other. People usually try to calm this inner conflict by later exaggerating（夸大） the positive aspects of their choice.

He had students rank 10 different music CDs. Then be offered students one CD as a gift. Some students then use liquid soap. Others only looked at the soap or sniffed it. “Actually, you do not need water and soap,” says （噢）Lee.

Later, the students again had to rank all the music. People who didn’t wash their hands had the normal response --- they scored their take-home CD higher. Suggesting that they now saw it as even more attractive than before. But this wasn’t true for the hand washers. They ranked the music about the same…“they feel no need at all to justify the choice,” say Lee.

But the implications of it just aren’t clear. Schwarz says it’s too soon to know whether people should head for a sink after making a tough choice. He says washing may help decision-makers by cleaning away mental disorder, but perhaps if they don’t go through the usual post-decision process of justifying their choice, they might feel more sorrow in the long run.

46．The Macbeth effect refers to the fact that ________. A．Shakespeare did scientific research before writing Macbeth

B．soaping up one’s hand may help wash away the inner confusion and make a decision C．people feel less guilty by getting rid of invisible germs from their hands D．people feel less ashamed after washing their hands 47．According to Lee, after people make the choice ________. A．they will overstate the goodness of their chosen choice B．they will feel regretful for not choosing another

C．they will feel free due to the feeling of losing the other choice

D．they will think nothing of their chosen choice any more to calm their inner conflict 48．According to Lee, the hand washers consider the judgment of choice ________. A．more scientific B．unnecessary C．a little convincing D．absolutely useless

49．What does Schwarz need to research more? ________ A．Whether people need to justify their choice

B．Whether people feel more sorrow after washing hands. C．Whether washing hands help over a long period of time. D．Whether washing hands is helpful to make a choice.

50. What might be the most suitable title for the passage? ________ A．Is Washing Hands Necessary to Defeat Tension? B．Washing Hands Washes Our Mind

C．Washing Hands Helps Make a Better Choice D．Washing Hands Reduces the Stress of Decision

If you feel yourself turning into an old grouch,don’t worry --- happiness is just around the bend. （脾气坏的人）A survey has found that although happiness dips in those in their 30s and 40s, people start to feel more content with life after the age of 50.

However an economist found that older people will never again regain the excitement of youth. Rather it is thought that with age, individuals become more pragmatic about the ups and downs that life brings and accept their fortune.

He questioned those in Britain, Switzerland and Germany and applied the findings to people’s life cycle. Mr. Van Landeghem, 29, said: “A happiness curve does not necessarily imply that a 65-year-old prefers his own life to the life of a 25-year-old.”

“Both the 25-year-old and 65-year-old might agree that it is nicer to be 25 than to be 65．But the 65-year-old might nevertheless be more satisfied, as he has learned to be satisfied with what he has.”

It was suggested the mid-life happiness dip is because this is when people have the most responsibilities --- taking care of a family, paying a mortgage（抵押贷款） and having a demanding career. The middle-aged dip in happiness was also compared to that of losing a close relative or suddenly becoming unemployed.

The study is just one of many put forward as an indicator of what makes for a happy life.

Psychologists concluded that having money makes you happier, but only if you have a lot more than your friends and neighbors. At the same time, you’d better have enough time to enjoy yourself instead of spending all your time on making money.

Separate research found that owning the house of your dreams, the car you always longed for and having millions in the bank doesn’t stop that desire to keep up with the Joneses. （攀比）And if the Joneses have more than you do, you’ll be miserable. It seems envy at being lower in the social pecking order （权势等级）reduces the satisfaction of being well off.

If you just do what you love and you are good at, which society also values much, you may have a higher probability to be happy. But if your job pays less, how can you stick to it in disregard of responsibilities? Happiness means different things from different points of view, and point of view grows from one’s experience and knowledge. Perhaps it comes with you when you don’t need to think about adult problems or when you are wise enough to understand what satisfaction is.

51．He underlined word “pragmatic” in paragraph 2 may mean ________. A．realistic B．concerned C．nervous D．careful

52．According to the passage, people in their 30s and 40s ________. A．may feel it more difficult to experience happiness

B．may sense happiness declines owing to other complicated factors

- 12 - / 15

C．start to realize responsibility and risk mean happiness

D．may associate happiness with money and status and risk pursuing happiness 53．It is implied in the passage that ________. A．happiness comes when you complain less B．life is full of ups and downs in fact

C．a sense of responsibility brings you happiness D．competing with others often makes you blue 54．What makes for a happy life? ________ A．One’s family. B．One’s money. C．One’s wisdom. D．One’s status.

55．The best title for the passage may be ________. A．happiness is U-shaped B．happiness is an experience C．happiness makes you satisfied D．happiness can be won by yourself

第一节阅读表达（共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分）

阅读短文,按照题目要求英语回答问题.

On my first job as sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise （MLE）, I didn’t get a lot of fan mail, so my attention was caught by a letter on my desk one morning.

When I opened it, I read: “Sweet piece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up the good work.” It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a teenager （being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch）, his words could not have been more inspiring. I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got old. Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to be a writer, I would reread Don’s note and walk on air again. Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quick, encouraging note to people in all walks of life. “When I make others feel good about themselves,” he told me, “I feel good, too.”

Over the years, I’ve tried to copy Don and write uplifting words. In a world too often cold and unresponsive, such notes bring warmth.

Why are positive note writers in such short supply? My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious. They are afraid they will be misunderstood. Thus it may cause troubles and problems. And it sounds insincere on the phone. Also, writhing takes time; it is far easier to pick up the phone.

The drawback of phone calls, of course, is that they do not last. A note attaches more importance to our

- 13 - / 15

well-wishing. It is a matter of record, and our words can be read more than once, savoredand treasured, and （回味）they bring strength and love to us.

Today I sent a warm letter to my old boss. I don’t know if it will make his day, but it made mine. As my friend Don Wolfe said, “Making others feel good about themselves makes me feel good too”. 56．What does the underlined part “walk on air” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? （No more than 5 words）

57．According to the author, why aren’t people willing to write letters? （No more than 15 words）

58．Why did the author write to his old boss? （No more than 15 words) 59．What’s the text mainly about? （No more than 10 words）

60．Were you encouraged by anybody? And how?（No more than 25 words） 第二节书面表达（共1小题,满分25分）

How are you doing these days? I'd like to tell you something about the Campus Book Fair in my school, which is a favorable activity to celebrate World Reading Day. It was held on the afternoon of last Thursday in order to encourage teachers and students to read more. The latest books of different types brought by the booksellers were displayed for us to read and purchase. Teachers and students also so1d or exchanged their used books. The most attractive part of the activity is the communication about reading, in which we shared our ideas about books and life, and in return we made friends and gained knowledge and pleasure. I like the fair very much, which not only introduce us a lot of interesting books but allowed us to buy books at a lower price. Do you have similar activities in your schoo1?

Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours, Li Jin
