I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. Its not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit. Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmothers chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned its okay to just say “no.” I shouldnt feel sorry for refusing food that I dont want to eat.So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self confidence and energy, extends life and above all improve my body shape.

The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the businessmans beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain.The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black pebble, she would become the moneylenders wife and he would forgo her fathers debt. If she picked the white pebble, she need not marry him and her fathers debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.They were standing on a pebble-strewn path. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. The sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag. No doubt she was caught in a dilemma.What would you have done if you were the girl? Careful analysis would produce three possibilities: 1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.2. The girl should know that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the money-lender as a cheat.3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment.The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral (横向的)and logical thinking. Read onThe girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn pathwhere it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles. “Oh, how clumsy of me!” she said. “But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked.” Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the moneylender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely advantageous one.55. The underlined word “forgo” in paragraph 2 may mean _.A. pay offB. run outC. take over D. give up56. Which of the following indicates lateral thinking?A. The girl refused to take a pebble and fled at once.B. The girl exposed the cheat and found another way.C. The girl picked one pebbles and made it disappear.D. The girl picked a black pebble and accepted the result.57. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. The girl dropped the pebble onto the path on purposeB. The girl dropped the pebble onto the path by accidentC. The girl didnt know there were two black pebbles in the bagD. The girl replaced a black pebble in the bag58. What lesson can we learn from the story? A. Keeping calm when facing a difficult situation.B. Thinking about a complicated problem in another way.C. Thinking twice before making a final choice.D. Coming up with a clever answer is easy.【参考答案】55-58DCAB 【四川省2014“联测促改”活动模拟试题】C阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答落卡上将该项涂黑。I must first thank the writers and editors of Scienlljic American and Scientific American Mind for the excellent articles on which so much of this book is based; they arc acknowledged (致谢)in detail in the Sources.I am most grateful to he famous netunscicutists ( 神经系统科学家) and experts who kindly gave their time to help re c son out what might be in the quite near future, and who have contributed much toneuroscience, especially R.

Jiang also accused the anti-GM lobby of repeatedly using outdated or inaccurate data to support an incorrect stance.Chen Yunfa, an independent researcher into the Yangtze River Delta economy, recently wrote a commentary on the Internet news portal Eastday in which he criticized the actions of the 61 scientists, saying they had gone beyond their proper duty. He suggested that large multinational corporations might be behind the letter and similar incidents, prompted by a desire to freeze Chinas patent hybrid rice technology out of the market.To support his contentions, Chen said that GM rice, first produced by scientists in the US, still hasnt gained official approval from the US government. However, the US authorities have actually granted licenses to six varieties of GM rice. The commercial planting of two varieties - anti-herbicide (BAR) transgenic rice LL RICE 06 and LL RICE 62 - produced by the French pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Aventis, was approved in 1999 and a license for cultivation for edible use was granted in 2000.The public outcry for GM labeling and boycotting has hindered the advancement of the technology. Concern about GM foods has been fueled by studies like the one published by French professor Gilles-Eric Sralini in September 2012. Sralini claimed that his research involving rats proved that the GM corn fed to them caused tumor growth. Furthermore, there is growing concern that the pesticides(杀虫剂) used on GMOs（转基因作物）are contributing to the decline of the worlds honey bee population, leading to honey bee deaths by infecting the brains of the insects with toxins. Therefore, some experts recommend the
