i hope the 5 was useful to you . i have informed the social security office so you wont be able to cash the child benefit next week. i hope that wont leave you too short. but if you really need a

the shop.im not really angry with you. i know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but i am sad at the loss of my personal things. i feel violated and helpless. the police were very icy, and they just shrugged their shoulders. “it happens all the time,” they told me. some small comfort, i suppose. but ive lost just a little more faith in human natureand as my young son said when i

emotional or mental challenges a person faces in a day, the less determined they become to work out physically.however, the findings should not stop us from keeping fit. experts believe that willpower (意志力)is like a muscle, and needs to be exercised to help one avoid the temptation (诱惑)spending a night on the couch instead.kathleen martin -ginis, a professor of kinesiology-the science of movement 一 who led the study, says everyone has a limited amount of willpower, and that it will be reduced by stress. miss martin -ginis, of canada s mcmaster university, explains, cognitive (认知的)tasks, as well as tasks such as regulating (调整)one s emotions, can reduce one s capacity to force oneself to exercise.her team of scientists performed a so- called stroop test on volunteers to reach their conclusions. the experiment involved showing participants words associated with colors but printed in different colors, for example, the word blue written in red ink . participants were divided into two groups. one group was asked to name the color of the ink, instead to say the printed word, while the other wasnt martin ginis says, after we used this cognitive task to use up their self-regulatory capacity, the participants didnt exercise as hard as those who had not performed the task.the more people concentrated on the cognitive task, the more likely they were to skip exercise sessions (活动时间)over the next eight weeks. you only have so much willpower .however, there are ways to strengthen willpower. the study found the listening to music before going to the gym can help, as well as making a commitment to work out with friends. it also concluded that willpower can be stretched by constantly taking, or forcing oneself to study an extra hour each night.martin - ginis adds, there are strategies people can use to help revitalize (使恢复活动) themselves after theyve used up their self-regulation. willpower is like a muscle: it needs to be used to stay strong.13.according to the experts, human willpower _.a.can be exercised through muscle movementb.can regulate itself to resist temptationsc.is weakened by stressful cognitive or emotional tasksd.is reduced by lack of physical exercise.14.we learn from paragraph 4 that the experiment_.a.made use of the stroop testb.asked one group of participants to name the wordsc.required researchers to write the word blue in red ink to make it easily recognizable.d.showed that those who hadnt performed the task were smarter than those who had15.which of the following is in agreement with miss martin ginis idea?a.humans willpower is limited to a certain levelb.the cognitive tasks could make people ignore exercisec.challenging tasks could make people ignore exercised.exercise is an important way to strengthen ones willpower.16.what can we infer from the passage?a.willpower can be challenged to become powerful.b.mcmaster university is famous for its kinesiology.c.effective ways to resist temptations have been found.d.the study has an impact on the science of movement.参考答案 13-16 caaa*结束passage 1my job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good

healthily. the milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week. the sunday meat would last until wednesday and surplus (剩余) bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.the invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. a vast way of well-tried techniques already existed natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, bottling.what refrigeration did promote was marketing-marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price.consequently, most of the worlds fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost

nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.the frid
