soon after that, more and more people began to run the mile in under 4 minutes. new world records were set almost every year following bannisters sub-4-minute-mile. nowadays, even a high school student can reasonably run a 4-minute mile. in about 50 years, the 4-minute mile went from impossible to professional to amateur. but i guess im not really answering the question here: what on earth does this have to do with learning japanese? when you have a goal in mind, mental barriers can be huge obstacles to overcome, and learning japanese is no different. but if youre devoted enough and make your goal your top priority（优先考虑的事）, you might be surprised at what you can do. put everything else aside for a while, just go for it and see what you can achieve. after all, if somebody can accomplish something that people thought was physically impossible, then maybe learning japanese isnt so hard after all.56. what may the readers be according to the passage?a. athletes. b. teachers. c. officials. d. students.57. what does the underlined word “flat-out” mean in paragraph 2?a. surprisingly. b. hardly. c. completely d. professionally58. according to the passage, we can know that . a. all the high school students can run the mile in under 4 minutesb. high school students try to break records in the sports fieldc. learning japanese is not difficult at alld. mental barriers are the biggest ones when achieving goals59. the passage mainly deals with _.a. the problems happening around the readersb. how japanese learners obtain their goalsc. why ordinary high school students are better that athletesd. how to overcome difficulties and break more recordsb what happens to a teenage kid when the world he thought he knew suddenly changes? find out in little brother by american author cory doctorow. it is a fascinating book for a new generation of sci-fi readers. marcus yallow, 17, from san francisco is much more comfortable in front of a computer than obeying the rules of society. smart, fast and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting(骗过) his high schools monitoring system. this way he and his friends get to head off to play a popular online game in real life. while they are playing, a bomb explodes on the bay bridge. marcus stops a military vehicle to get help for his injured friend, but this simple act throws him into a department of homeland security (dhs) secret prison. there he is treated as a possible terrorist. he is eventually let go after four days, but his injured disappears. when he returns, marcus discovers that there are many “security measures” in place and that now all citizens are treated like potential terrorists. while some consider this government action necessary for public safety, marcus sees this as a complete destruction of the rights he is supposed to have as a citizen. he knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him with only one thing to do: to take down the dhs himself. he helps organize a large network called xnet to spread the truth, anonymously(匿名地). the book presents a young man who is irresponsible, but learns about himself, and grows, in the course of the story. as part of this learning and growing he becomes aware of very serious issues about his society.60. marcus yallow was sent to prison because_.a. he killed his friendb. he bombed a military vehiclec. he did something that a possible terrorist could dod. his injured friend disappeared61. from the second paragraph we can infer that_.a. marcus yallow is much more comfortable obeying the rules of societyb. marcus yallow is smart, fast and wise in real lifec. marcus yallow always plays online games in real lifed. marcus yallow is expert at the network world62. the underline word destruction in the passage means_.a. damage b. reward c. ruin d. protection63. what kind of article does this passage belong to?a. a fascinating story. b. a book review. c. news report. d. a tv programme. c.lets face it youre going to get a lot of well-intentioned advice from friends, parents and grandparents about your sleep. some of this advice is going to be just wrong.myth 1: sleeping late on the weekends will make up for lost sleep during the week.fact: getting less than the amount of sleep that you need night after night accumulates over time and starts to create a “sleep debt”. and like all debts, eventually you need to pay the price. the problem with waiting until the weekend to meet sleep needs is that in the meantime, you are paying the price of being less alert, feeling more moody, thinking slower and having less stimulation.myth 2: a boring teacher (or warm room, full stomach, etc.) can put teens to sleep.fact: if you are getting enough sleep on a regular basis, there is no teacher, math book or reading assignment in the world boring enough to make you fall asleep in class. there are basically two things that make people sleepy not getting enough sleep and not getting good quality sleep. the environment kids are in, including the room temperature, light level and entertainment value, may unmask underlying sleepiness, but the environment does not cause it! so if you are dozing off in class, dont blame it on bad teaching. myth 3: teenagers can pull an all-nighter to study and still be ready for the big test in the morning.fact: teenagers are much better off studying less and getting a good nights sleep. research clearly shows that the ability to concentrate and learn new information, as well as to work efficiently, declines sharply after being awake for 15-16 hours, and continues to bottom out the longer you stay up. plus, if the big test is at 8:00 am, the problem gets even worse. thats because morning time typically represents a low energy point in the bodys normal 24-hour circadian(生理节奏的) rhythm, especially in teenagers.64. according to the passage, a student who is in a sleep debt _.a. thinks slower but more carefullyb. must make up for the lost sleep on the weekendsc. will become more interested in fancyingd. will become bad-tempered and upset 65. according to myth 2, which of the following is true?a. students who eat a lot are sleepy at class. b. the warm room can make students fall asleep easily.c. students sleepiness has nothing to do with teaching.d. the light level may lead students to feel sleepy . 66. if you wake up at six in the morning, when will you begin working ineffectively? a. at about 9 pm b. in the early morning.c. at about noon. d. in the midnight.67. according to the passage, at 8:00 am a teenager will _. a. feel more energetic after a nights sleepb. have a poor learning resultc. have the least desire to learnd. be able to think in a quick wayddecision-making under stressa new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative (负面的) consequences of a decision.the research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.“stress affects how people learn,” says professor mara mather. “people learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress.”for example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images(影像) with either rewards or punishments. in one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. in both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadnt gone through the stress.this phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress at those moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. but the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.the research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and women. while both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. in stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better, when caution weighs more, however, women will win.this tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.68.we can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to _.a. recall consequences more effortlesslyb. keep rewards better in their memoryc. make risky decisions more frequentlyd.
