However this time it is not for a new scientific breakthrough, but because of two handwritten notes the scientist gave a bellboy(侍者)95 years ago.The story goes something like this. In October1922, Einstein was invited to Tokyo to deliver lectures. As the scientist was making his way from Europe to Japan, he received a telegram informing him that he had been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. Though pleased at the news, he decided to continue with his Japanese trip instead of heading to Stockholm to accept the honor.w hen in Tokyo, he penned two notes in German. One of them, written on a piece of plain paper, said,Where theres a will,theres a way.”Why did Einstein write the notes? Some believe they were to express Einsteins delight at the reception he received from the people of Japan who crowded to attend the scientists lectures. Others think they were specially written for a bellboy who came to deliver a message, either because the scientist did not have loose change to tip him, or because the messenger refused to accept tips. Regardless of the reason, Einstein purportedly（据称） told the bellboy, Maybe if you are lucky, those notes will bee much more valuable than just a regular tip. He was right!Earlier this year, the bellboys nephew decided to part with the letters and handed them to Winners Auctions and Exhibitions. The theory of happiness brought the owner an astonishing $1.56 million from a European buyer. The second note, which opened at $ I,000, and expected to fetch a maximum of $6,000, sold for $240,000!5.What made Einstein bee peoples focus again?A. The theory of relativity. B.

How were Einsteins lectures? A. They had a little effect. B. They attracted a lot of people. C. They successfully inspired people. D. They were hard to understand.8. How might the owner of the notes feel about the deal?A. Disappointed. B. Curious. C. Unfair. D. Unexpected.CIf you are sleeping six or fewer hours per night,youre not doing your health any favors. A new study finds that getting the remended seven to nine hours sleep per night may help you tame(抑制) your sweet tooth. Researchers at Kings College London foundshort sleepers that is, people sleep less than seven hours per night. The participants were coached in ways of making sleep time longer, such as cutting back on caffeine, reducing screen time and sticking to a regular bedtime each night.The coaching worked. And theres the fascinating part: They also changed their diets -without being asked.We found that they reduced their intake of added sugars by about10 grams per day, explains one of the study authors, Haya Ai Khatib.Thats about 40 calories worth of sugar, which is not a huge change, But over time. a small, daily decline in sugary foods could make a difference.However the study is small. It included just 42 normal-weight participants, and it doesnt show how sleep can lead to diet changes But the findings serve up more evidence that our sleep can influence our eating habits and waistlines. A study published back in 2013 found that just five days of shortened sleep can lead to weight gain. In that study, people were allowed to sleep for Just five hours for a five-day period. They gained, on average, almost 2 pounds.And as weve known, the timing of meals- independent of sleep can also influence how our bodies respond to all the calories we eat. For instance, a study found that people who eat their dinner between 6:00 pm and 6:30 pm are more successful at losing weight,pared with people who eat a late-night meal.It seems we humans are timekeeping machines.9.What does the underlined partsweet tooth refer to? A. Honeyed words. B. Love of unhealthy foods.C. A great affection for sweet foods. D. Bad teeth caused by eating sweets.10. How did the researchers help change the participants diets? A. By making them sleep more. B. By improving their self-control. C.By meeting certain requirements. D By controlling their sugar intake.11. What do we know about the new study?A. Its findings are reliable. B. It is based on a 2013 studyC. Its participants are researchers. D. It is about why we change diets.12. What is the right way to keep our health according to the text? A. Doing extra exercise to lose some weight. B. Taking a break during our day-time work. C. Avoiding eating high-calorie food anytime. D. Forming regular sleeping and eating habits.DEndurance events（耐力赛） have excited the imagination of an increasing number of runners, climbers and mountaineers. Social and traditional media have helped create attention for these men and women. In the past, the petitors might not be well known, but now they can earn money from pany sponsorships.There is a long history of people setting out to set speed records. For years, sailors have attempted to set records for sailing around the world. Swimmers have successfully crossed the English Channel since 1875. And now simply climbing to the top of Mount Everest is not enough. Some climbers want to see if they can be the fastest at reaching the top.1 think its a natural human tendency to keep pushing back the human boundaries for whats possible- like trying to set a world record, said Peter Bakwin, a runner who created a website for listing records. Runs and climbs that once took months, weeks and days are now being pleted in only weeks, days and hours.Bakwin was the first person known to run the Muir Trail in under four days. The Muir Trail travels along some of the most beautiful parts of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. On foot, the trip normally takes two to three weeks to plete. Bakwin said he ran about 80 kilometers a day, and only took short breaks to sleep. The third day was the hardest.What have I gotten myself into? he thought then. On that night he decided to climb to the top of a mountain under a full moon.It was magical, he recalled.Its hard to explain the attraction of pushing your limits of endurance in nature.

Therefore, if you have any intention of reading a lot of material, then it is important that you learn how to absorb what you read efficiently and quickly. 16 Your mind will be able to focus better at certain times of the day,and being able to focus is an important aspect of retaining（保留） information. Go to find a place to read where your mind is able to concentrate. This may be someplace secret where no one will bother you,or simply your home at a time when it is quiet.Get relaxed. If youre in a rush to finish reading,youre not going to be able to give it your full attention. 17 . When you want to retain what youre reading,make sure that you have enough time to distribute.Separate the important details from the unimportant details. Unless youre reading a very dense（密集的article,youll likely encounter a lot of words and phrases that arent very important.18Pause every once in a while to take in what youre reading. Instead of reading the article straight through from beginning to end, pause for a while to think back on what youve just read. In particular, you should pause and reflect when youve just read all important passages that you know youll want to retain.19 Take notes as you read. When reading all articles, taking notes might seem like a strange thing to do.20Youll be reinforcing the concepts a second time. This aids extremely with retention and memory.A. Read when you are available.B. Read when you are absorbed.C. Details will enter your mind but will not be mitted to memory.D. However, writing down information uses a different area of your brain than reading does.E. Skim through your reading and focus on the parts that are interesting or important.F. By reading the material a second time,youll know exactly what to expect and what to focus on. G. By reflecting, youre essentially taking in the information twice, and that helps to mit it to memory.第二部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A，B，C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I was recently involved in a bad traffic accident.
