Staring in the mirror, I decided to
26、get serious about physical fitness. Friends encouraged me to join them in shop walking. However, wonderful smells coming out from the food court did increase the appetite. Six weeks later, I reached the limit on my credit cards and gained four pounds. It occurred to me that my daughters old bicycle
27、might help. I got it back from our garage. Then one morning a neighborhood dog barked at me. I panicked and charged straight into a neighbors cactus(仙人掌) garden. Aside from my dignity and pride, it required $100 and an hour of pain while our family doctor pulled out all the needles of the cactus. My
28、 husband decided to get involved in the situation and bought me a special bicycle. He set it up in our bedroom where it was the last thing I saw at night and the first thing I saw every morning. To avoid boring time I read detective novels while working energetically on my new toy. One unlucky morni
29、ng, still wearing my night blouse, as the detective was about to remove the curtain of the criminal, I rode faster, unaware my night blouse was pulled suddenly into the parts of the bike. Im unsure what happened, but when I awoke, an ambulance pulled into our driveway. Dont mention the cost of that
30、disaster. Back home from the hospital, I looked in my full-length mirror once more. Sure enough, my grandmothers figure with a black and blue face was still reflected there. She seemed to smile at me as I whispered, “Im sorry, Grandmother, I could do a whole lot worse than look like you.” After all,
31、 Grandmother, though rather fat, was a great woman!56. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. The Best Way of Physical FitnessB. The High Cost of Physical FitnessC. The Pleasure of Physical FitnessD. The Benefit of Physical Fitness57. What is implied in the second paragraph?A.
32、The author put on extra weight as a result of her shop walking.B. The author lost much weight as a result of her shop walking.C. An easy way of getting fit is shop walking.D.

Shell spend a long time recovering from her disaster.B. Shell begin with another physical exercise.C. Shell apologize to her grandmother.D. She
34、ll quit all her exercises.B “Going that extra step” is an unbelievable concept to put into practice today with every face of your life. It is the difference between being ordinary and being extraordinary. That extra step is what separates the average player from the winners.I have been in sales most
35、 of my life. I always tried to take that extra step that would make me stand out from my competition. It was the quick thank-you note after a great meeting, or that one extra follow-up call to be sure all their questions were answered or just that little bit of extra enthusiasm that I put into the p
36、resentation that I had been preparing for the entire week. This is what separates us from our competition-and believe me it does. We all have a choice-either just going through the motions with your everyday jobs or give that little extra in order to build that rapport with your client (客户) that mak
37、es them a life long client. We all have experienced those who have given us that little extra attention that their competitor did not and that is the reason we did business with them.As you progress through your lifes journey towards fulfilling your “why”, you need to constantly go that extra step.
38、The true sign of a winner-to-be is just when it seems impossible to give that extra push; they are the ones who dig down deep to fulfill their “why”. A small improvement each day over a long period of time will produce outstanding results toward achieving your dreams. It you dont know your “why” yet
39、, you may want to consider entering into a personal development program. It is truly amazing how your life can be enriched.Now that you know the benefit of going that extra step, you need to ask yourself a question: “What can I do today and every day with a little more effort to move me into the win
40、ners circle?” You know that someone has to be in the winners circle “Why not make it you.”Investing in yourself today will be tomorrows success.60. This article mainly tells us about _.A. company managementB. being a successful clientC. achieving success in studyD. personal development61. In the sec

The writer of this passage may NOT agree that _.A. going extra steps will make ones life successfulB. making more friends is the key to achieving successC. being active and positive helps to
42、 achieve your dreamD. turning the impossible into the possible makes your successful63. The passage is developed by _.A. persuading B. listing examples C. comparisonD. timeCSome kinds of mental skills naturally decrease as people get older. Yet research seems to show that some training can improve s
43、uch skills. A recently published study also appears to prove that the good effects of training can last for many years after that training has ended.Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland wanted to learn how long memory and thinking skills would last in older people who trained to keep
44、them. The people were part of the ten-year research project. They were taught methods meant to improve their memory, thinking and ability to perform everyday tasks.More than 2,800 volunteered for the study called ACTIVE - short for Advanced Cognitive (认知的) Training for Independent and Vital Elderly.
45、 Most studied when they were more than 70 years old.The volunteers took one of several short training classes meant to help them keep their mental abilities. One class trained participants in skills including how to remember word lists. Another group trained in reasoning. A third group received help
46、 with speed-of-processing - speed of receiving and understanding information. A fourth group - the control group did not get any training.Earlier results had established that the training helped the participants for up to five years. Now, lead study writer George Rebok says, the research showed most
47、 of the training remained effective a full ten years later.Professor Robok and his team found that the people trained in reasoning and speed-of-processing did better on tests than the control group.We are wondering whether those effects which endured over time would still be there ten years followin
48、g the training, and in fact, thats exactly what we found.The effect on memory, however, seemed not to last as long. Still, the old people in any of the three classes generally reported less difficulty in performing daily activities than the control group. The total training time for the older people
49、 was between 10 and 15 hours.Professor Robok and his team are now considering ways to provide such training for lower cost.We are trying to make the training more broadly available. For example, we have a grant right now from the National Institute on Aging to try to make a web-based version of the
50、ACTIVE memory training and put the training online.One question still to be studied is how only a few hours of training can still be effective after ten years. The study appears in theJournal of the American Geriatrics Society.64The main idea of the article is that _.A. some kinds of mental skills n
51、aturally decrease as people get olderB. we should try to help old people.C. cognitive training can have a lasting positive effect on old people.D. old people should do more volunteer work.65.

Professor Robok and his team found that _.A. old people cant improve their mental abilities.B. the effects of cognitive training can last five years.C. volunteer work is very important for old people.D. t
