These activities might be too much for the average 16-year-old to deal with, but Jake is blind. When people ask him how he can possibly play golf without being able to see the ball, he says he is thankful for his fathers guidance. It seems apparent that his early experience playing sports as a person with sight and muscle memory repeating behaviors over and over until they become second nature have also enabled Jake to hit the ball quite well. Jake was born with a rare kind of eye cancer that took away the vision from his left eye when he was an infant and eventually his right eye, in 2009, when he was 12 years old. Rather than letting the disease hold him back, Jake used his loss of sight and his faith as sources of motivation . “If I was going to sit on the couch all day feeling sorry for myself, I wasnt going to do anything. I decided right then and there that I wasnt going to let it stop me and that I was going to go out and persevere (坚持不懈),” he said. It was with that mind-set that the student from Orange Lutheran High School in California was able to write his first book, Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life. “Its about opening the readers eyes to their true potential in life and making sure that they use all the abilities that they have,” Jake said. Jakes father, Brian Olson, said the family is impressed with what he has done with his life, including showing people that they can get through hardships. “Your darkest hour can soon become your brightest, and with every setback, theres a setup,” Jake said. “In every one of us, theres more potential than we can ever imagine, and it really is a choice.” 21. We can learn from the article that Jake Olson _. A. was born a blind childB. could have been a golf master C. has great muscle memoryD. is trying to find the cure for his disease22. According to the article, Jakes family members _. A. pity him deeplyB. once gave up hope on him C. encouraged him to write the bookD. admire his efforts and determination23. The purpose of the book Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life is to _.A. promote good approaches to getting along with disabled peopleB. inspire people to discover and use their hidden abilitiesC. help people come up with better life goalsD. explain different definitions of “a happier life”24. The underlined word “setback” is closest in meaning to _.A. fight B. failureC. opportunity D. successB In the early hours of March 8, a Boeing 777 took off from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Its destination was Beijing. But for unknown reasons, it never arrived there. There were 239 people on the Malaysia Airlines flight, including 154 Chinese. As of March 13, 12 different countries, including Malaysia, China, Vietnam and the US, were searching for the plane. The disappearance is an “aviation (航空) mystery”, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, the head of Malaysias Civil Aviation Authority, said on March 10.There was no clear sign of a crash by March 13. Between 1-2 hours after takeoff, the plane suddenly lost contact with people on the ground. The weather was clear, and the pilots didnt make any calls . No evidence was found in the area where the flight last made contact. People are also talking about a possible hijacking (劫机). International police agency Interpol confirmed on March 9 that at least two passengers on the flight had used stolen passports to get on board. “We are looking at all possibilities,” said Malaysian Transport Minister Hishamuddin Hussein. The incident is now being called simply a “plane disappearance”. So, what are some possible causes of a plane disappearance? An AP story provided a summary.1. A failure of the planes body or its engines. However, even if both engines stopped working, the plane could still glide (滑翔) for up to 20 minutes, giving pilots time to make an emergency call.2. Bad weather. Planes are designed to fly through most severe storms. However, in June 2009, an Air France flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris crashed during a bad storm over the Atlantic Ocean.3. A bomb. Throughout history, several planes have been brought down by bombs.4. An accidental shoot-down by some countrys military. In July 1988, the US Navy accidentally shot down an Iran Air flight. In September 1983, a Korean Air Lines flight was shot down by a Russian fighter jet. No matter how unlikely a situation, its too early to determine what really happened to MH370. It could take months, if not years, to rule out any possibilities, say experts.25. How many cities are mentioned in this passage?A. Four cities.B. five cities.C. Six cities.D. Seven cities.26. What could the underlined phrase “rule out” in the last paragraph mean?A. cross outB. get rid ofC. take outD. take the place of27. What could be the best title of the passage? A. An Air CrashB. The Causes of the DisappearanceC. The Disappearance of MH 370D. An Aviation MysteryCLosing weight comes with a lot of health benefitsincluding making your brain sharper.Yes, it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive functions (认知功能) such as memory and attention. There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance. Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University.Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits (缺陷). So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function. For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants, some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not. All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning of the study, and again 12 weeks later. To begin with, about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23% showed signs of poor memory when tested. At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average range for cognitive functions. Scores for the volunteers who didnt lose weight dropped even further.The study helped Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function. Now that hes seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional wayeating healthier and getting more active. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. “If we can improve the condition with operations, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well,” he says.28. There is less research on overweight and cognitive functions because researchers _.A. believe overweight only affects our bodyB. have focused on ways to sharpen peoples mindC. do not consider overweight a main cause for low cognitive abilityD. are clear about the relation between weight and mental functions29. The result of Gunstads study shows that _.A. losing weight has little effect on peoples memoryB. losing weight can improve peoples mental functions C. overweight people are likely to have psychology problems D. overweight peoples abilities of concentration differ greatly30. What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research?A. Slim people are smarter than overweight people.B. Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight.C. Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operation.D. Overweight people will get smarter by taking more exercise.31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Body Weight and HealthB. Losing Weight by OperationC. Ways to Improve Mental FunctionsD.
