The sound of children shouting made her turn around. To her horror, Lydia saw a 700-pound polar bear behind her eyeing her seven-year-old son. Getting between the bear and her child, Lydia yelled at the children to run away. She then began hitting and kicking the animal as hard as she could. A neighbor who heard all the noise came and shot the bear. But everyone agreed it was Lydia who had saved her childrens lives. A local policeman described it this way: “ I guess when your back is up against the wall, we come up with super-human strength.”Where does this “super-human strength”, courage and quick thinking come from? Experts say it comes from stress! In stressful situations, the body releases chemicals that prepare it to take action. These chemicals give people the speed and strength they need to fight danger or run away from it.When we think of stress, we usually think of its negative effects. Studies, though, show that moderate levels of stress are actually helpful. In fact, the way we perform is usually affected by the amount of stress we feel. Stress causes the brain to release adrenaline(肾上腺素) which in turn increases our energy and excitement. The chemical gives us clearer minds and helps us to do more. This is why some people say they work better under a deadline.Adrenaline that is not released for long periods of time can cause us to increase and strengthen our abilities instead of weakening them. We sometimes turn out our very best work when we push ourselves to the limit. Stress can also make us more confident. Handling small amounts of stress now prepares us for handling serious situations in the future. Who knows? Todays stress may even prepare for the next polar bear that comes along!45.

Super-human Strength CAre you nervous about climbing because you think its too dangerous? Do you feel youre not fit enough to climb? Do you know how to start climbing? Lets consider the idea that climbing is dangerous. Being afraid is natural, but if you use suitable ropes and other climbing equipments you will feel completely safe. Climbers are usually very careful because they know what they are doing is dangerous. Accidents happen, but when they do, they tend to attract a lot of publicity. As a result, people think there are many more accidents than there are in reality. You cannot expect to start climbing straight away. Climbing is a challenge and challenges take time. It is necessary first of all that you achieve a good level of fitness. Begin as soon as you become interested in climbinggo to the gym, go swimming, take up jogging and continue to do so throughout your training period. Discover as much as you can about climbing. Visit the library and find books especially for beginners or buy climbing magazines and look for articles which describe your situation. Look up information on the Internet. Find out about equipment, methods and places to go. Next, take a course on a climbing wall. There are plenty of climbing walls all over the country which have trained and qualified people as instructors. Call your local leisure centre to find out if there is one in your area. These training sessions are a quick way to get experience and you are likely to meet other beginners. After this, you can do an outside course or join a club where you can meet climbers of all abilities and eventually join in group-climbing events. At first you may not understand the importance of a good training period, but after you have completed your first climb and you are standing safely at the top of a rock feeling thrilled, then you will know it was the right thing to do.48. The article is written by _. A. a doctor B. an experienced climber C. a beginner D. a fitness instructor49. The writer thinks a new climber should _.A. begin by becoming fit B. be aware of the causes of the accidents C. have the courage to meet the challenges D. do enough sports to get interested in climbing50. By climbing walls you can _. A. join a club you like B. become qualified instructors C. gain controlled experience D. take part in group-climbing events51. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably means _. A. the climb B. the training C. the equipmentD. the achievementD Are you a problem shopper? The answer is “Yes”, if you or someone else thinks that you sometimes get carried away with shopping. In other words, do you or does someone else think you are occupied in extreme shopping? If people have regrets later about their shopping, or have an “out-of-control” feeling about the quantities of what they buy or the amount of credit they use, they may be considered to be problem shoppers. Extreme shopping can lead to a more serious problem addictive shopping. Addictive shoppers feel driven by the desire to shop and spend money. They experience great tension which drives them to shop and spend money and they feel a “rush” during the time they are occupied with the shopping activity. Extreme or addictive shopping may result from long-time unpleasant feelings, of which anxiety, pain and shame are common ones. When we feel bad inside, we often do something to make ourselves feel better. In this case, we often go shopping.A few people shop to relieve their boredom or emptiness. For some people, the motivation is a desire for status, power, beauty or success. Some love to shop as it makes them feel valued in the eyes of the shop assistants. Others shop simply because it makes them forget, at least temporarily, tension, fear or unhappiness in their life. Besides, shopping malls are designed to encourage continual shopping. For instance, there are some malls where you cant see clocks displaying the time because they dont want you to become too aware of the time you spend there.Whats more, food courts, coffee shops and restrooms are provided, so you dont have to leave the mall because of your physical needs. Therefore, once you become aware of how market forces work, you will certainly come to control your shopping behavior.For example, how much time you will spend and what areas you will visit can be decided before you enter the mall. Keep a written account of what items you will buy and how much money you will spend. Make a plan for what you are going to buy before you feel the urge to shop and then stick to it. That is vital for gaining self-control. 52. Which of the following people may not be problem shoppers?A. Those who cannot control the amount of credit they use.B. Those who just walk around the shopping malls.C. Those who are occupied in too much shopping.D. Those who feel sorry for their shopping.53. According to the passage, what may not result in addictive shopping?A. The awareness of how market forces work.B. The desire for status, power, beauty or success.C. Boredom, emptiness, tension, fear or unhappiness in peoples life.D. Long-time bad feelings of anxiety, pain and shame.54. What does the author suggest to control our shopping behaviour?A. Never going to the shopping malls because there are many tricks.B. Applying for a credit card before we go shopping.C. Making the shopping time as short as possible.D. Making a shopping list before we go shopping.55. The author writes this passage to _.A. inform the shopping malls how to attract more shoppersB. scold the problem shoppersC. provide solutions to the problem shopping D. tell a shopping story第二节(共15小题；每小题1.5分，共7.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As is known to all, many things can be measured in terms of data. Sometimes data can indeed tell the truth. With the help of data we can easily know the price of a can of Coke in the supermarket or the result of a football match. 56_ What is more important, data seem to be fairer than words or statements. If the data are true, we don t have to worry about being cheated. Nowadays, as lies exist in the world, data are expected to tell the truth. Therefore, many of us would rather believe data.On the other hand, if we judge things only by data from the so -called specific research， ar
