专题限时训练(二十三)社会生活型阅读理解(一)(限时：25分钟)(一)ive spent over a year in india, and in those 365 plus days, ive learned a lot about getting around indian cities. my biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated, particularly by taxi and rickshaw (人力车) drivers, but that doesnt mean those are bad ways to travel, as long as you know what youre doing. below are the best ways to get around the city of delhi, india, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams (欺诈)taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of delhi and chances are, if you arrive in delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, youll be swarmed by indian taxi drivers. at the delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two delhi traffic police taxi booths. one is inside the airport, and one is outside. the key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers.rickshaws are one of my favourite ways to get around indian cities, in part because its how the locals often travel. autorickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in old delhi. if you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. autorickshaw rates around delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on the distance.if you really want to travel around delhi like the locals, take a public bus. indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. they are, however, very cheap. a bus trip wont set you back any more than 15 rupees, as long as you stay within the city limits. since indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.the train is a great way to get around within the city of delhi. fares are reasonable, between 6 and 22 rupees. all departure announcements are in both hindi and english, and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.1the author is trying to _ in delhi through this text.agive some advice of travellingbexpect us to travel aroundcshow his/her experiencesdexplain the difficulties of travelling2to avoid being cheated, you

point in giving up something you enjoy unless you get something back thats even better. when people eat more healthfully, exercise, quit smoking, and manage stress better, they find that they feel so much better that it reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living. the latest studies show that when you exercise and eat right：your brain receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, think more clearly, have more energy, and need less sleep. two studies showed that just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many new neurons (神经细胞) to grow that it actually increased the size of peoples brains!your face receives more blood flow, so your_skin_glows more and wrinkles less. you look younger and more attractive. in contrast, an unhealthy diet, chronic emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face so you age more quickly. smoking accelerates aging because nicotine causes your arteries (动脉) to narrow down, which decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle earlier. this is why smokers look years older than they really are.your genes change. in may, a study was published in the proceedings of the national academy of sciences showing that changing your lifestyle changes your genes.your telomeres (染色体端粒) get longer. telomeres are the ends of our chromosomes (染色体) that control how long we live. as telomeres become shorter, then cells age more quickly, thus shortening our lives.besides, one of the most interesting findings in the study was that the mothers awareness of stress was more important than what was really occurring in their lives. the researchers gave the women a questionnaire and asked them to rate on a threepoint scale how stressed they felt each day, and how out of control their lives felt to them. the women who were aware that they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres compared with those who felt more relaxed. on the contrary, some of the women who felt relaxed despite raising a disabled child had more normalappearing telomeres.in other words, if you feel stressed, you are stressed; if you feel fine, you are fine.1which of the following are good for lengthening ones life, according to the passage? eat healthy food drink plenty of water take exercise get up early go to sleep early release ones stressabcd2the underlined words “your skin glows” in paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to “_”ayour skin becomes white as there is plenty of sunshinebyour skin becomes smooth as there is much blood in

stress5the best title for the passage would be “_”aeat better, live betterbfeel better, live longercless stress, fewer diseasesdsmoke more, age sooner(三)we all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles (肌肉) of your neck, or because an unexpected twist(扭曲)has made your neck ache. the slightest move makes you jump with pain. nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.that is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. we have all met such people.one is the man who always seems to be clapping his handsoften at the wrong timeduring a performance in the theatre. he keeps you from hearing the actors.even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins. they come hurrying down to your row of seats. you are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. you must stand up to let them pass. you are proud of yourselfcontrol after they have settled into their seatswell, what nowgod, one of them is up again. he forgot to go to the mens room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. now, that is “a_pain_in_the_neck”another, wellknown to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. his mouth is full of popcorn (爆米花); he is chewing(嚼)loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. none of them remain still. up and down, back and forth, they gofor another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.then, there is the man sitting next to you at lunch, smoking. he wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.we must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. you are reading the newspaper and he gets closer so that he can read the paper with you. he may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.we also call such a person a “rubber neck”， always getting close to where it does not belong, like neighbours who watch all your visitors. they enjoy learning about your personal business. people have a strong dislike for “rubber necks”. they hate
