Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventurethose who have climbed the highest mountains, travelled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds. I would consider bungee jumping (蹦极跳) to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place with a rubber rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of the high cliffs (悬崖). Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists (心理学家) suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. According to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively(相对地)safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping. 41. The best title for the passage is_ . A. Dangerous sports: What and WhyB. The Boredom (无聊) of Modern lifeC. Bungee Jumping: Is It Really DangerousD. The Need for Excitement42. People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because_. A. they have a lot of free timeB. they can go to hospital if they are injuredC. their life is short of excitementD. they can buy food in shops and no longer need to hunt for food43. Which of the following descriptions about bungee jumping is right?A. its very boringB. its much easier to doC. it takes much shorter time to get pleasureD. its hard to find a place for it44. The writer of this passage_.A. is a lover of dangerous activities himselfB. is against dangerous activitiesC. mainly tells people about an exciting activityD. doesnt say whether dangerous activities are good or badBWelcome every morning with a smile. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo(回响) through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Dont waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.Starting the day right can give good momentum (动力) for the rest of the day. Having a power morning is a key factor for a fruitful day. Here are some tips on getting the most out of the morning.Wake up early. In theory, theres no difference in waking up early or late as long as you get the proper amount of sleep. However, there is a psychological advantage when you wake up earlier than the average person and then youll have more time to do preparation before engaging in the real world. Exercise. Good health is always a benefit with exercise, but studies have also shown that morning exercise helps you to sleep better at nights. Eat breakfast. Its the most important meal of the day. According to the Mayo Clinic, we should choose three from the following four: fruits and vegetables, grains, dairy, and protein. Did you know that you can actually gain weight when you skip breakfast? Take a shower. When you shower, do you do it in the morning or at night? I used to shower in the evenings, but I found that morning showers helped me to be more smart. Prioritize (优先) your To-Do list. Leo coined the acronym(首字母缩略词) MIT to mean “most important tasks.” Our to-do list might be never ending, but put on top of the list a couple of urgent tasks that will define the day to be a successful one. Check your emails. Only once. Getting a lot of emails can be very distractive（分散精力的）. You actually are more productive when you check them only a few times at fixed time of the day. I only do them 2-3 times a dayonce in the morning, once at lunch, and one more as it gets toward the end of the day. 45. The purpose for the author to write this passage is to .A. tell you to get up early every dayB. offer you the best way to start the dayC. give you advice about how to arrange a dayD. advise you to prioritize your to-do list every morning46.

The usually quiet villages suddenly become crowded centers of activity, as people take out special tools and prepare for tea processing. In some villages, local residents hold traditional ceremonies, thanking heaven for its blessing. The price of tea picked in March is extremely high because it is fresh, tender and contains multiple trace elements. China has been famous for tea production since ancient times. Of the goods transported and traded along the Old Silk Road linking China to the Middle East and Europe, the importance of tea was matched only by silk. China produces Oolong, black, green, white, yellow and dark tea. The Oolong, green and black varieties are most famous for their high quality.Most of Chinas tea villages are found in remote mountainous areas in the countrys south and southwest, where the beautiful scenery is often hidden under clouds.53.
