Reading comprehensionPassage 1 “I do.” To Americans those two words carry great meaning. They can even change your life, especially if you say them at your own wedding. Making wedding vows is like signing a contract. Now Americans dont really think marriage is a business deal. But marriage is serious business. It all begins with the engagement. Traditionally, a young man asks the father of his sweetheart for permission to marry her. If the father agrees, the man later proposes to her. often he tries to surprise her by “popping the question” in a romantic way. Sometimes the couple just decide together that the time is right to get married. The man usually gives his fiane a diamond ring as a symbol of their engagement. They may be engaged for weeks, months, or even years. As the big day approaches, bridal showers and bachelors parties provide many useful gifts. Today many couples also receive counseling during engagement. This prepares them for the challenges of married life. At last its time for the wedding. Although most weddings follow long-held traditions, theres still room for American individualism. For example, the usual place for a wedding is in a church. But some people get married outdoors in a scenic spot. A few even have the ceremony while sky diving or riding on horseback! The couple may invite hundreds of people or just a few close friends. They choose their own style of colors, decorations and music during the ceremony. But some things rarely change. The bride usually wears a beautiful, long white wedding dress. She traditionally wears “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue”. The groom wears a formal suit or tuxedo. Several close friends participate in the ceremony as attendants, including the best man and the maid of honor. As the ceremony begins, the groom and his attendants stand with the minister, facing the audience. Music signals the entrance of the brides attendants, followed by the beautiful bride. Nervously, the young couple repeats their vows. Traditionally, they promise to love each other “for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health”. But sometimes the couple have composed their own vows. They give each other a gold ring to symbolize their marriage commitment. Finally the minister announces the big moment: “I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride!” At the wedding reception, the bride and groom greet their guests. Then they cut the wedding cake and feed each other a bite. Guests mingle while enjoying cake, punch and other treats. Later the bride throws her bouquet of flowers to a group of single girls. Tradition says that the one who catches the bouquet will be the next to marry. During the reception, playful friends “decorate” the couples car with tissue paper, tin cans and a “just married” sign. When the reception is over, the newlyweds run to their “decorated” car and speed off. Many couples take a honeymoon, a one-to-two-week vacation trip, to celebrate their new marriage. Almost every culture has rituals to signal a change in ones life. Marriage is one of the most basic life changes for people of all cultures. So its no surprise to find many traditions about getting married even in America. Yet each couple follows the traditions in a way that is uniquely their own.31.

Each one of us can be considered as a breathing expert or guru - after all, we have been breathing since we were born. However, this is an incorrect assumption because most of us dont truly understand the power of breathing. The importance of breathing is obvious as we depend on taking in oxygen for our lives. As humans, we have to eliminate the things our body is no longer using, and breathing takes care of 70% of this process. Other than eliminating the air from your lungs, after the oxygen has been absorbed, breathing also expels toxins from your body. You can also eliminate other things such as emotions or stress. By harnessing the immense power of breathing, you can create a better connection with your inner self. By becoming more aware of your breathing you will be able to reduce a lot of outside negativity. Focus your attention on your breath and tell your mind to think only about it. The rhythmical sensation your breath produces will help your mind, and your body, relax and slow down. Thinking is responsible for most of the tensions and stress we face, and this little exercise takes thinking into a harmonious and peaceful location. Many of our thoughts are negative. We often use or think about words like “wont”, “cant”. or “shouldnt”. These negative connotations reflect on the way we feel, increasing nervousness and stress. Your brain processes millions of thoughts on a daily basis and focusing it on your breath gives it a break. Temporarily lowering your minds activity gives you extra peace and helps relax both your brain and your body. Try to appreciate your breathing education as you would practice a sport. In order to reach a goal, you will need to improve and enhance certain skills. You cant just be an Olympic athlete - you have to become one through hard work. This can be done by building up your strengths and stamina, as well as improving your physical abilities. Improving your breathing works exactly the same way. Right now you are at a low level, as you most likely dont do any additional exercises to improve your breathing. (Think of it like an RPG game - You must build up your “experience points” to reach the next level). Your subconscious mind usually takes care of the breathing process, leaving your conscious mind to deal with other things. However, this is the time to take breathing matters into your own hands, and consciously control your breath while you exercise this technique. At first, try to analyze yourself each time you inhale and exhale. Do this until your mind gets used to the rhythmic tone of breaths and lets your brain preoccupy itself only with your breathing. It may be tough at first, as you will get distracted by sounds or movements around you. In time, however, you will manage to ignore outside interference and sustain a prolonged period of clear, utmost focus. Regularly practice with your breathing and you will soon begin to see some of the positive effects of better understanding and controlling one of the vital elements that keep us ticking.36. What does “assumption” in “this is an incorrect assumption” (Line 3, Para. 1) refer to?A. Breath is connected to the soul. B. We have been breathing since we were born. C. We are all breathing experts. D. We do not understand the power of breathing.37. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Breathing may keep us fit. B. We breathe because we should exhale the air our bodies do not need. C. Breathing may help us eliminating anger. D. We breathe because we want to be slender.38. Which of the following can NOT help us reduce stress?A. Thinking about the breath itself. B. Speaking out or thinking of negative words. C. Focus our attention on breathing. D. Reducing the activities in our mind.39. What does the “goal” in In order to reach a goal” (Para. 5) refer to?A. becoming an Olympic athlete. B. using breath to reduce stress. C. building up your strengths and stamina. D. improving your physical abilities.40. What does our subconscious mind usually take care of?A. Breathing. B. Reading a newspaper. C. Watching TV. D. Playing tennis.Passage 3 Youre late for a job interview when traffic slows to a crawl. At the supermarket, a customer wheeling a full cart outs ahead of you in the check-out line. You spend months on a make-it or break-it project, and your lazy colleague gets promoted. Feel that burn? Before you explode with rage or fly into a fury, take a deep breath and remember this: Anger hurts. Study after study has found that high levels of anger and hostility are associated with greater risk for heart disease, poor immune responses, and even a tendency for obesity （肥胖）. Men with high anger scores were three times more likely to develop heart disease than their calmer companions, a Harvard School of Public Health study found. And in women, arguments with spouses raise hormone levels and lower immunity - a real problem, since lower immune response may increase womens risk of cancer. It doesnt seem to matter whether you release the anger or hold it in, experts say. The effects on your health are the same. “Anger is anger,” says Redford Williams, M.D, director of the Behavioral Medicine Research Center at Duke University Medical Center and co-author of the book Life Skills. “Both are harmful to health.” The good news is, it is possible to control your anger. “By evaluating it and using various techniques, You can talk yourself out of it,” Williams says. “Thats whats nice about us humans: We can always do something or not do something to change our behavior.”41. By saying “Anger is anger”, Redford Williams means that _.A. anger is unavoidable in life B. one should hold in anger instead of releasing it C. one should release anger instead of holding it in D. anger does harm no matter what form it takes42. “Talk yourself out of it” in the last paragraph is closest in meanin
