2.Recently we tld yu abut a finding that mre years f schl culd help students get higher
scres n intelligence tests．That was the finding f a study f teenage males in Nrway．Nw，ther research shws that physical activity may help students d better in their classes .
The research cmes as educatrs in sme cuntries are reducing time fr activities like physical educatin．They are using the time instead fr academic subjects like maths and reading．The studies appeared between 2007 and 2013．They included mre than 55，000 children，aged 6 t 18．
Amika Singh：“Based n the results f ur study，we can cnclude that being physically active is beneficial fr academic perfrmance. There are，first，Physilgical explanatins，like mre bld flw, and s mre xygen t the brain．Being physically active means there are mre hrmnes(荷尔蒙)prduced like endrphins(内啡肽)．And endrphins make yur stress level lwer and yur md imprved, which means yu als perfrm better.”
Als，students invlved in rganized sprts learn rules and hw t fllw them．This culd imprve their classrm behavir and help them keep their mind n their wrk．
The study leaves sme questins unanswered，hwever．Ms．Stash says it is nt pssible t say whether the amunt r kind f activity affected the level f academic imprvement．This is because f differences amng the studies .
Als．they were mstly bservatinal studies．An bservatinal study is where researchers d nt d cntrlled cmparisns．They nly describe what they bserve．S they might bserve a link that students wh are mre active ften have better grades．But that des nt necessarily mean being active was the cause f thse higher grades．
The researchers said they fund nly tw high - quality studies．They called fr mre high-
quality studies t cnfirm their findings．They als pinted ut that “utcmes fr ther parts f the wrld may be quite different. ”
Still，the general finding was that physically active kids are mre likely t d better in schl．Ms．Singh says schls shuld cnsider that finding befre they cut physical educatin prgrams．Her paper n “Physical Activity and Perfrmance at Schl”is published in the Archives f Pediatric and Adlescent Medicine．

3. Dr．Fergusn energetically pushed the preparatins fr his departure，and in persn directed the cnstructin f his balln．Fr a lng time past he had been applying himself t the study f the Arab language and the varius Mandinge idims，and，thanks t his talents in language，he had made rapid prgress．
In the meanwhile，his friend，the sprtsman，never let him ut f
his sight-afraid，n dubt，that the dctr might take his departure，withut saying a wrd t anybdy．On this subject，he tried t discurage him with the mst persuasive arguments，which，hwever，did NOT persuade Samuel Fergusn，and wasted his breath，by which the latter seemed t be but slightly mved．In fine，Dick felt that the dctr was slipping thrugh his fingers．
The pr Sct was really t be pitied．He culd nt lk upn the
blue sky withut a wild terrr: when asleep，he felt dizziness(眩晕)that made his head turn arund；and every night he had visins f crashing dwn frm immeasurable heights．
We must add that，during these nightmares，he nce r twice fell ut f bed. His first care then was t shw Fergusn a severe bump(肿块)that he had received n the fall．“And yet，”he
wuld add，with warmth，“that was at the height f nly three feet一nt an inch mre一and such a bump as this! Only think，then!”
This appeal，full f sad meaning as it was，did nt seem t tuch the dctr's heart．Nt even the shadw f a dubt was ever suggested；and Samuel made an intlerable misuse f the first persn plural：“‘Our’balln，‘ur’ car ；‘ur’expeditin.”
Dick trembled at them，althugh he was determined nt t g ; he did nt want t anny his friend．Let us als disclse the fact that，withut knwing exactly why himself，he had sent t Edinburgh fr a certain selectin f heavy clthing，and his best hunting-tls and fire-arms．

A recent survey cnducted by the Pew Internet＆American Life Prject fund that 54 percent f Internet have psted riginal phts nline．And f thse hundreds f millins f phts， many are f selfie phts．
Fr example，currently there are nearly 62 millin psted selfie
phts n Instagram，the scial media tl that has significantly cntributed t the persnal pht’s ppularity．That figure，which cntinues t rise every day, des nt even begin t include the selfies shared n Facebk and Twitter.
What makes the selfie s attractive-and why d we feel it a must t take ne? Accrding t Dr．Pamela Rutledge，psychlgist and directr f the Media Psychlgy Research Center，the desire t take，pst and get“likes” n selfies ges back t a bilgical behavir f all humans．
“ I think it influences ur sense f scial cnnectin in the same way as it des when yu g
t a party and peple say‘Oh I lve yur dress，’” Rutledge tld The Huffingtn Pst.“Bilgical，scial recgnitin is a real need and there is even an area f the brain that cntributes t scial activity．”
There is a way t adapt t the grwing selfie culture．Whether yu’re a selfie nvice r an advanced pster，there are always things t be mindful f when yu’re psting，Rutledge advises.

emplyer t see，” Rutledge said．“Selfies especially．”
2．The Elevatr Rule
“Yu wuldn’t say smething in an elevatr that yu r n ne else wants t hear—the whle
wrld f scial media is an elevatr，” Rutledge said．“Be aware f the breadth f platfrm．It's easy t think yu’re sharing a pht with a few peple，but Instagram is public and peple can cme acrss things．”

6.A
The kindly“Chinese Frtune Grandpa”wearing Han Chinese
clthing and hlding a frtune bag debuted (亮相) at the Imperial Ancestral Shrine in Beijing n the day after Christmas．The final image
f the Chinese gift-giver was selected thrugh a glbal design cmpetitin
against“Santa Claus”，accrding t a reprt by Guangming Daily．
Many Chinese cities have been filled with Christmas nen lights，
Christmas sngs，Christmas trees，and the images f“Santa Claus”in
recent days．As a matter f fact，freign festivals are becming mre ppular than certain traditinal Chinese festivals amng the Chinese peple，particularly the yuth．“Certain traditinal festivals have died ut because peple have frgtten their spiritual meanings，”said nted writer Feng Jicai．Mre and mre Chinese peple are beginning t exchange gifts n Valentine's Day and Christmas．Hwever，many f them knw nthing abut Chinese New Year pictures r sugarcated figurines(小糖人)，and have never heard suna music．Certain flk custms n the Dragn Bat Festival，Tmb Sweeping Day，and ther traditinal festivals have gradually disappeared．Under such circum-stances，even the“Chinese Frtune Grandpa”is unlikely t defeat“Santa Claus”．
Hwever，it is nt a bad thing t sme extent．It cnstantly reminds peple t restre the“true
face”f traditinal festivals．China has listed traditinal Tmb Sweeping Day，Dragn Bat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival as legal hlidays，which brings mre paid leaves t the public，and helps t awake the public awareness f traditinal festivals．
In mdern sciety，festival is a carrier f culture and its meaning largelydepends n their understandings and usages by peple．Cmpared with freign festivals，traditinal Chinese festivals are nt inferir (次于) in cultural meanings，but lack f fashin sught by mdern peple．If peple d nt appreciate the histrical culture cntained by traditinal festivals，and nly take pleasure-seeking as the mst imprtant，the significance f traditinal festivals will fade away and the inheritance (继承) f fine traditinal culture will be cut ff．
56．The secnd paragraph implies that______________________.
A．traditinal festivals shuld c-exist with freign festivals
B．all the Chinese festivals are disappearing in the near future
C．western festivals are cnstantly impacting n ur festivals
D．the Chinese peple have the public awareness f traditinal festivals
57．We can learn frm the passage that______________.
A．an image designed by the Chinese peple will be displayed
B．many freigners knw nthing abut Chinese festivals
C．the Chinese gift-giver was intended t symblize traditinal culture
D．the Chinese are beginning t exchange gifts n the Mid-Autumn Festival
58．Many Chinese yuth dislike traditinal festivals because they think______________.
A．traditinal festivals are ut f fashin nw
B．the histrical culture is mre difficult t understand
C．western festivals cntain mre cultural meanings
D．the inheritance will cut ff their cntact with western festivals
59．What wuld be the best title f the passage?
