schedules.d.to teach kids chinese arts c.to report performances.b some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. fm not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances dont come into play because they do. some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and thats just the reality of how life is. however, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. and, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. to become great at certain things, itll require even more time, time that most people wont put in. this is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. if you dont enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it. when you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge .part of their life to get there at a huge cost. its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway. whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. if youre hot willing to put in the time and work, dont expect to receive any rewards. consistent， hard work wont guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.25. what can mainly be learned from paragraph 1?a. the importance of success.b.the meaning of success.c. the standards of success.d.the reasons forsuccess.26. what does the underlined word “that” refer toin paragraph 2?a. succeeding in life. b.putting in moretime.c. setting a practical goal.d.being good at something.27. why do successful people suggest doing what one loves?a. it takes a lot of time to succeed.b. one gives up his work easily.c. one tends to enjoy his work.d.work makes one feel pain.28. what is the main theme of the passage?a. having a goal is vital to success.b. one cannot succeed without time and practice.c. being good is different from being great.d. luck, talent and family help to achieve success.c environmental health is defined hs the control of the factors (因素）in the environment social well-being (安乐）.that may have harmful effects on peoples physical, mental, or because natural disasters expose people to danger by bringing up or threatening their immediate environment , effective management of environmental health after a natural disaster is of great importance. the environmental health measures that must be considered after a natural disaster include the supply of appropriate shelter for individuals or groups of people left homeless, the distribution (分配）of safe and accessible water, and the protection and distribution of safe food products and so on. to effectively manage environmental health during and after a disaster, it is important that a state of preparation is in effect before the event actually occurs. during an emergency, success largely depends on making good, rapid judgment and appropriate response measures. high-level decision makers, therefore, must be familiar with sound measures beforehand and should be given an accurate judgment of the disasters specific effects as quickly as possible. this book is intended to serve as a guide for those who may be called upon to make emergency decisions after disaster strikes. the recommended environmental health measures have been listed in the order of priority in which they should be taken during an emergency. however, each natural disaster is unique in the degree or type of emergency. in response to any given disaster, decision makers may find it necessary to change the priority assigned to any particular measure.29. why is it significant to take effective measures after a natural disaster?a.victimsmaybein danger without immediate controls.b.victimsmaybeat the risk of losing their properties.c.victimsmaybeexposed to poisonous or radioactive minerals.d.victimsmaybethreatened by environmental health problems.30.what is the main idea of paragraph 3?a. good preparations beforehand are vital,b. rapid judgment is quite beneficial.c. effective measures sound familiar.d. slow responses sound ineffective.31. whom is the book mainly written for?a. a researcher quite into environment health.b. an organizer to handle domestic disastrous situations.c. a possible decision-maker to handle a disaster emergency.d. a holidaymaker fond of the topic of effective management.32. which of the following can replace the underlined word “priority” in paragraph 4?a.perfection.b.preference.c.possibility.d. popularity-d if youre trying to lose weight, stress makes changes to your brain chemistry in ways that make it hard to make healthful food choices and maintain self-control, a new study finds. study volunteers who tolerated a somewhat stressful experience were 24 percent more likely to choose unhealthflul snacks afterward compared with volunteers who hadnt experienced stress. and researchers think they know why brain scans showed that the stressed people had changed neurological (神经系统的）connectivity between regions of the brain that process tastiness y make value judgments and plan for long-term goals. “being able to regulate and control your decision-making involves this complex interplay between different areas of your brain, ” said todd hare，the senior author of the study published in the journal neuron. “theres not just one region or node (of the brain) that turns on and off to establish self-control； they have to all work in unison together. stress disrupts that synchrony (同步）.” researchers found that stress changes the way different parts of the brain communicate with one another. a simple way to think of it is like “phone line connections between the brain regions，” hare said. “you could have a better or worse signal coming across that connection. ” the hormone cortisol (皮质醇）dialed up the activity from the part of the brain that processes tastiness, and strengthened connections between that area and the part of the brain that manages value judgments and decision-making. “ so you have a region shouting about taste, and its coming through loud and clear. hare said. in addition，the more stress participants felt，the weaker the connections between the part of the brain that deals with long-term planning and the part that manages value judgments and decision-making. this meant their long-term goal of improving their diet was less of a factor in decision about what to eat.33. what may be the best title for the text?a. the more effort the better for a weight-loser.b. the less pressure the better for a weight-loser.c. the less effort the better for one on a diet.d. the more pressure the better for one on a diet.34. why does a stressed volunteer more likely choose junk snacks?a. because he has not set a long-term goal of improving his diet.b. because he makes it hard to make good choices and maintain self-control.c. because the connections between the related parts of his brain become split.d. because stress makes ill effects on the communications between related parts of his brain.35. in which section of a magazine can we most possibly read the text?a.food.b. medicine.c. health. d.lifestyle. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。reducing test anxiety as students
