27、四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned with their own appearance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do th
28、ey like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A persons self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other peoples reactions. In general, the way people t
29、hink about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives. Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing“the right thing”. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior (自卑). They al
30、so find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: “Youre just saying that to make me feel good, I know its not true.”It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoi
31、ng it is harmful. Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect. It is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his o
32、r her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life. 56.

35、 self-respectBJuly 27th, 2010 was a typical English summers dayit rained for 24 hours! As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss. By the time I left work at 5pm, however, the road into our village was flooded. Our house had never been flooded but, as I open
36、ed the front door, a wave of water greeted me. Thank God the kids werent with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs. At first we tried to push on through. We didnt want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. We put a sheet of plastic across t
37、he floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park. The house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there
38、 was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community (社区). We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbours, and Id never thought how much Id miss that. Although our situation was very hard, its difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at wha
39、ts happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought, “We didnt have a straw hut (茅草房) that was swept away, and our house is still standing. Were lucky.”We moved back home in August. With December coming, theres still reconstruction work to be done, so its diffi
40、cult to prepare for Christmas. But I cant waitIm going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year, I wont need any giftsliving away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions. Although we are replac

44、own home was the most important. CBabies are born yogis. Once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it. Then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back. In short, we lost our balance. Yoga (瑜伽) is an ancient practice that helps create a sense
45、 of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999. I had plantar fascitis (足底筋膜炎) in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things I loved to do: walking, hiking, and playing tennis. I was desperate for ex
46、ercise. Yoga became my salvation (拯救) and even enhanced my other fitness activities. I practice yoga at least twice a week, but I consider yoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yogayou love it. Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stro
47、nger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one pose to the other. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat (静修), and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. “Rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle tone,” says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of the K. I. S. S. Guide to Yoga.
48、 “Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism (新陈代谢), it also helps to regulate weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells.” I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I ne
49、ed a boost of energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative poses. Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety. I use
50、yogic breathing on the tennis courts, in the dentists chair, and in traffic jams. You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the
51、pose by letting go of the tension. Yoga becomes part of your spiritual life. Yoga is practiced by people from all religions; it is not restricted to any religious group. Yoga teaches “right” living in how we deal with ourselves and others. As I work on a difficult pose, I learn patience, forgiveness
52、, and the value of gentleness. Yoga advocates proper eating, but you dont have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga. 64. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Whats Yoga? B. How I Do Yoga Poses C. The Benefits of Yoga D. The Varieties of Yoga65. According to the third paragraph, yoga can
53、help people. A. grow taller B. lose weight C. become flexible in thinking D. make more friends66. People feel tired after yoga because. A. they consume energy in practicing yoga B. they respond well to yoga posesC. they spend too much time on yoga D. they force themselves into yoga poses67. If this
54、passage continues, what will the writer most probably write about in the next paragraph? A. Yoga as a means to keep fit. B. Different yoga poses. C. Popularity of yoga all over the world. D. Encouraging people to do yoga. DA research by the National Center for Health Statistics is seen as an importa
55、nt confirmation of the “Hispanic mortality paradox(西班牙裔死亡率悖论).”On average, Hispanics outlive whites by 2.5 years and blacks by 7.7 years. Their life expectancy at birth in 2006 was 80.6 years, compared with 78.1 for whites, 72.9 for blacks and 77.7 years for the total population. The report shows th
56、at the Hispanic population has higher life expectancy at birth and at almost every age despite a socioeconomic status lower than that of whites. “Mortality is very correlated with income, education and health care access,” says Elizabeth Arias, author of the report. “You would expect the Hispanic po
57、pulation would have higher mortality, in line with the black population.”The Hispanic paradox has been documented for more than two decades, but this is the first time the government has had enough data to issue national numbers. Researchers are struggling to explain why Hispanics live longer. “We d
58、ont know,” says David Hayes-Bautista, director of the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture at UCLAs David Geffen School of Medicine. “We thought it was a problem in the data, but we can pretty much say this is real.”Potential factors: Culture and lifestyle. Support from extended family
59、and lower rates of smoking and drinking. Latino groups in particular have very strong family and social ties. Migration. The “healthy migrant effect” argues that healthy people are more likely to emigrate. And when immigrants become ill, they might return home and die there. “Solving the puzzle may
