I never read t
15、he book, but the title has always stuck with me. I think it was because the title turned_me_off. I hadnt been taught to be so selfish that I should focus on only myself. I thought I needed to be helping others and, along the way, I would also be helping myself. Now, I realise I should have at least
16、considered learning more about looking out for number one.Over 30 years after seeing the book about looking out for number one, Im realising number one, me, is the person I should be concerned about first. Jeffrey Gitomer asks the question, “Who is the most important person in the world?” Most peopl
17、e answer, the customer. He then asks, if there were only two people left in the world, the customer and you, who would you want to survive? Now the answer is me.It makes sense that if we cant help ourselves first, we will never be prepared to help others. We all need to learn to control our lives an
18、d make the best decisions for ourselves. That will put us in a position to help others in the future. But many of us are slow to understand this.It has been said that happiness will bring success, but success doesnt always bring happiness. We all want to be happy and successful. For some of us we ca
19、n be very happy when our basic needs are met and our family are safe. Others will seek for high levels of success thinking that that will bring happiness. Im sure we can think of a person who is very successful, according to the worlds standards(标准), but they dont appear to be happy at all. This is
20、because they have been so busy working for somebody elses goals that they havent considered their own needs.24The underlined words “turned me off” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “_”Amade me excited Bmade me boredCmade me surprised Dmade me pleased25Who does the writer think is the most important perso

23、s. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experiences. Keep on reading to know all the amazing power of music.A recent study suggested that preterm (早产的) babies appeared to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the Unive
24、rsity of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing the pain of preterm babies when experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit fullterm babies during operations.Many people experiencing brain damage often have speech and movementrelated problems. Music
25、 can help them recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经系统的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them reg
26、ain a balanced walk.Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave_off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people, 74 of whom were musicians. Participants were asked to do some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than nonmusicians, and this dif
27、ference got clearer with age. This means that a 70yearold musician hears better than a 50yearold nonmusician, even in a noisy environment.Besides, music can mend a broken heart. It is not about a thrownaway love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart
28、 attack or a heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate and reducing anxiety. Listening to quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood and expands blood vessels, thus promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.28Ho

If so, you may want to go playing some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more
32、 information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more
33、 fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “while we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Bab
34、ies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning
35、disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. “Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to conne
36、ct physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a shortterm memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, b
37、ut it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or taichi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most peo
38、ple, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brains flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.32What is the connection between exercise and brain development?AExercise helps make o
39、ur blood vessels.BPhysical exercise helps us think better.CExercise prevents us having brain diseases.DMore physical exercises enlarge our brains.33How can exercise affect babies?AWhether they are excited or not depends on movements.BA lack of movement results from their learning disabilities.CThe m
40、ore frequently they move, the cleverer they become.DThe more activities they do, the greater their brains develop.34Why is yoga suggested for seniors?AIt helps them memorise quicker. BIt decreases the heart rate.CIt includes learning new actions. DIt can be done in groups.35What is the smallest amou

79、心的人,也是世界上最重要的人。24答案与解析:B词义猜测题。根据后面句子的内容“从来没有人教过我要这么自私,只想着自己。我认为我需要帮助别人”可判断出此处的意思应该是“我认为是书名让我不喜欢它,讨厌它”。故答案为B。excited“兴奋的”,surprised“惊讶的”和pleased“高兴的”都不符合此语境。25答案与解析:B细节理解题。根据第二段可知,见到这本有关先为自己着想的书已过去30多年了,“我”意识到,“我”自己是“我”应该首先担心的人,也是世界上最重要的人。故答案为B。注意此题问的是“现在作者认为谁是世界上最重要的人”,不要误解而选择其他选项。26答案与解析:D推理判断题。A项与
