in a band. but one big obstacle lay in her way. to be good enough to play in a band, brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. many of them are sick. she knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. so, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. but there was always someone it would annoy. one day, while watching a science documentary on tv, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because theres no air. at that moment, brenda bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut. with the help of a lot of time, books and work, brenda built a space bubble. this was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. all that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备） and a chair. brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child. it wasnt long before brenda bongos came very famous. many people came to see her play in her space bubble. shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. finally, brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band. years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: if those old people next door hadnt mattered so much to me, i wouldnt have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.56. why did brenda try to play in the strangest places? a. because she didnt mean to disturb others. b. because she didnt want others to hear her play. c. because she didnt have her own room. d. because she didnt like her neighbors.57. brenda started to give concerts _. a. when people came to see her in the space bubble b. when she became part of the unique space journey c. after she became a real musical astronaut d. after she practiced in her space bubble 58. brenda became famous because _. a. she was good at music and science b. she invented a special way of practice c. she became a real musical astronaut d. she played well and had a talent59. which of the following can be used to describe brenda? a. lovely, brave and kind. b. brave, kind and hardworking. c. kind, hardworking and clever. d. nervous, kind and clever.bremembering names is an important social skill. here are some ways to master it.recite and repeat in conversationwhen you hear a persons name, repeat it. immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips .you could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.ask the other person to recite and repeatyou can let other people help you remember their names. after youve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. most people will be pleased by the effort youre making to learn their names.admit you dont knowadmitting that you cant remember someones name can actually make people relaxed. most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “im working to remember names better. yours is right on the tip of my tongue. what is it again？”use associationlink each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. for example, you could make a mental note: “vicki cheng-tall，black hair”. to reinforce your association, write them on a small card as soon as possible.limit the number of new names you learn at one time.when meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. free yourself from remembering everyone. few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. last names can come later.go early consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. sometimes just a few people show up on time. thats fewer names for you to remember. and as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others-an automatic review for you. 60. if you cant remember someones name, you may_a. tell them the truth b. tell them a white liec. ask him for pity d. ask others to help you 61. the underlined word “reinforce” mostly means “_”. a. getb. simplifyc. strengthen d. collect 62. when you meet a group of people, it is better to remember_a. all their names b. a couple of names first c. just their last names d. as many names as possible63. what does the text mainly tell us?a. how to recite and repeat names b. importance of attending partiesc. how to make use of associations d. tips on an important social skillcbabies are born yogis. once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it. then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back. in short, we lost our balance.yoga（瑜伽） is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. it brings us balance. i was seriously out of balance when i started practicing yoga in 1999. i had plantar fascitis in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things i loved to do: walking, hiking, and playing tennis. i was desperate for exercise. yoga became my salvation and even enhanced my other fitness activities. i practice yoga at least twice a week, but i consider yoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yogayou love it.yoga becomes part of your physical life. your body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one pose to the other. i spent a week in mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which i lost weight. “rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle tone,” says shakta kaur khalsa, author of the k.i.s.s. guide to yoga. “because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism (新陈代谢), it also helps to regulate weight. additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells.” i do yoga poses throughout the day. after hours at my computer, i stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. when i need a boost of energy, i do energizing poses. when i am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, i do restorative poses. yoga becomes part of your mental life. yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. this attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety. i use yogic breathing on the tennis courts, in the dentists chair, and in traffic jams. you should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired. if you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. in yoga, you “surrender” to the pose by letting go of the tension.yoga becomes part of your spiritual life. yoga is practiced by people from all religions; it is not restricted to any religious group. yoga teaches “right” living in how we deal with ourselves and others. as i work on a difficult pose, i learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness. yoga advocates proper eating, but you dont have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga.64.what would be the best title for this passage?a. whats yoga? b. the benefits of yogac. how i do yoga poses d. the varieties of yoga65. according to the third paragraph, yoga can help people _.a. grow tallerb. lose weightc. become flexible in thinkingd. make more friends66. people feel tired after yoga because _.a. they spend too much time on yogab. they respond well to yoga posesc. they force themselves into yoga posesd. they consume energy in practicing yoga67.if this passage continues, what will the writer most probably write about in the next paragraph? a. yoga as a means to keep fit.b. different yoga poses.c. popularity of yoga all over the world.d. encouraging people to do yoga.dthe need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the worlds supply of water. with 97% of the worlds water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. although the idea of a water shortage(短缺)seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the worlds agricultural industries experience constant water shortages.although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution(重新分配)are very high. not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be considered. where valleys(山谷)are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. besides, water may flow easily
