Volleyball, which is considered our schools signature sport, has always enjoyed a high level of popularity. There was a lot of excitement when the event began.Every class has to take part in the volleyball games, picking out two male teams and two female teams. My team this year was the first team. It played in the first and third sessions , 4)_ the second team, usually not as good as the other one, played in the second session.Newly introduced at the beginning of Senior 2, not much was expected 5)_our classs teams.

When I was told that I had only been chosen as a substitute for the first team, my pride made me say no and join the second team. After Volleyball Month last fall, I got enthusiastic about volleyball and wanted to improve my ability enough to play for the first team. I joined the school volleyball team, which gave us professional training. Im aware that I was not born good at it, but I have spent a lot of time working on my skills with great energy.Finally, I made the first team this year. BFor you, the “Clear and Bright” day that falls in every April 11)_ be no more than just another holiday the fact that it es with three days off school matters to most students much more than the fact that it is part of the 24 solar terms.But the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has recognized the importance of the 24 solar terms. This ancient system that Chinese people have used to keep track of the time of year 12)_ ( add ) to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on Nov 30.To be fair, the terms do sound old; they were invented thousands of years ago to offer weather information for agricultural activities. But the truth is that they still have an influence on our lives today, 13)_ _ we dont realize it most of the time.For starters, you may have heard your mom say: “The sanfu days are almost over. The heat wont be here for long.” The sanfu days are a period of time that falls in summer, somewhere 14) _ Minor Heat (in July) and Autumn Equinox (in September).

The 21)_ on the drawers are all written in Chinese characters. The doctor sits at the table and takes pulses rather than relying only on the stethoscope (听诊器) to decide on treatments. This is a 22)_ Chinese pharmacy. To show the special attraction of traditional Chinese medicine, a new documentary called The Tale of Chinese Medicine (本草中国) started on Nov 20 on the CCTV-9 Documentary ChannelIn the documentary, the ways in which people use medicine from Chinese pharmacies to 23)_health problems can be seen. For example, many have used special Chinese herbs when they have “caught heat”, also known as “shanghuo” in Mandarin, after eating too much spicy, hot food during the cold winter. According to traditional Chinese medicine, someones health is all about the balance of yin and yang. When the yang of someones body is stronger, the person has inner heat. People 24)_ arent asked to go to the doctor or take medicine if they have inner heat. They are just asked to drink a special drink to balance their yin and yang.25)_ known as liangcha, it is a drink made from herbs, not a tea. The drink usually includes honeysuckle (金银花), chrysanthemum (菊花) and wild tuckahoe (茯苓) to balance the heat from what people eat and drink and their surroundings. Drinking herbal tea is a tradition in the Lingnan region, and it is found largely in Guangdong and Guangxi. Dried tangerine peel (陈皮) is another herb the region feels proud of, as it is shown in The Tale of Chinese Medicine. “There are three 26)_ in Guangdong dried tangerine peel, old ginger (姜) and straw (禾秆草),” the Cultural China website 27)_. “But 100-year-old tangerine peel is considered more valuable than gold.”The longer the tangerine peel has been 28)_, the more expensive it bees.

However, they might not know that scientists have found that some kinds of music can improve peoples energy by 15 percent. This was discovered by Costas Karageorghis at Brunel Universitys School of Sport and Education in London. Karageorghis has worked with 31)_ such as Nike and with many champion athletes. In the study, 30 people listened to 32)_ music by Queen, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Madonna. They did exercise at the same time.Nerve munication “stopped”When they were doing exercise in 33)_ with the music, people showed higher energy levels. Even when they were doing very hard exercise, they were 34)_ about how they felt. When people are doing exercise, their nerves send messages 35)_ that their body is getting tired. However, when they are listening to music at the same time, these messages are 36)_. Karageorghis thinks this is because the music causes part of the brain to send different messages to the body that make it feel happy and relaxed.Different effectsKarageorghis work shows that different types of music can have different effects on different people. The effect of some music can also depend on how tiring the exercise is. Karageorghis said that people who have extroverted (外向的) personalities prefer faster and louder kinds of music 37)_ to people who have a reserved personality. This is because, for the music to have an effect, the brains of extroverted people need more 38)_ than the brains of reserved people. Reserved people want to feel less worried and so have better results when the music makes them feel relaxed. Karageorghis was asked to provide music for the “Run to the Beat” half marathon in the UK, and which has also now started in other countries. “I also have lots of other exciting 39)_ that I am working on,” said Karageorghis. One of these is to find out if the 40)_ of the music we listen to has an effect on our heart rate while we exercise.Part III. Reading 2x4A. I couldnt believe that performing well at my job wasnt enough to keep it.B. That advice is essential for women at all stages of our careers.C. I came in to work, greeted my colleagues and listened more than I contributed in each morning meeting.D. It never occurred to me that not sharing enough during meetings could lead to being fired.E. I got a great one-month review and my boss asked if I was interested in staying with the pany after graduation.F. It is hard for me to keep a balance between being modesty and staying active. At 23, my career got going. I was midway through a masters degree at The London School of Economics and Political Science and had been hired as a part-time reporter for a finance website. _41_However, balancing graduate studies with work was challenging. To deal with it, I checked my real self at my office door. _42_The small team I worked with often seemed busy, so rather than giving ideas that might get turned down, I stayed back.After four months, my boss called me into his office. The meeting was going well until he told me that despite the great work I had produced, the team had held a meeting and decided, “We dont think its the right fit.”I must have looked confused. “Youre ambitious, intelligent and will be very successful,” my boss said. “But you havent made enough of an effort to join the team. You lost the enthusiasm you showed in your interview. That wont work long term, and if I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to let your guard down.”_43_ But I knew my boss was right. They knew when they hired me that I had no experience in finance reporting, yet they took a chance on me. In meetings I usually contributed last, after I had heard everyone elses suggestions. I did it to show that I was a listener, but also to hide my fears. They had liked the person who walked into the interview, and they didnt respect me when I hid that person from them.“Dont leave before you leave.” _44_ Because we work so hard for success, we dont like to think that we hurt ourselves sometimes. But each of us must change when necessary. In trying to earn a full time job, I “leaned back” in order to not show too much of myself or my lack of expertise. I learned the hard way that it isnt the way to achieve your goals.Part IV.1x 1245. 习惯做某事 _ 46.款待自己 _47. 丧失信心 _ 48.首屈一指 _49. 很可能 _ 50. 打一场硬仗_51. 把脉 _ 52. 旨在 _53. 内向性格 _ 54. 散发着不同气味_55. 在缺乏经验 _ 56. 专业技能不足 _ End_Key to Newspaper Quiz 657Part I.A. 1) stretching 2) that 3) about 4) while 5) of 6) that/which 7) the most likely 8) as 9) Thanks to 10）What B. 11)might/may 12)was added 13) even if 14) between 15) following 16) since/because 17) in 18) themselves 19) no matter how 20) whichPart II.21) B, BD, AC, AD, ABC / C, BC, A, D, AB 31)B, AC, C, AD, D, / BC, BD, ABC, CD, APart III.41-44) E, C, A, BPart IV.45) in the habit of doing 46) treat oneself to a big feast47) lose heart 48) be second to none49) Chances are that 50) fight a tough battle51) take pulses 52) aim to do53) a reserved personality 54) give off different smells55) have no experience in 56) lack of expertise
