The mind is a wnderful thing.It’s als excuse-making machine that frequently tries t cnvince us nt t take actin we knw are gd fr us.If we hadn't learned abut these excuses, r hw t vercme them, we wuld never have succeeded in making these psitive changes.
S why des the mind mess with us and make unreasnable excuses? Because the mind wants cmfrt, that's the reasn.It’s afraid f discmfrt, pressure and change.The mind is absrbed in its cmfrt zne, and anytime we try t stretch that zne t far, fr t lng, the mind tries desperately t get back t "grund zer" at any cst.These damaging excuses, such as "I can't d it", "It is t hard fr me", "It’s t late nw" and s n, are n strangers t ur minds.
It seems t difficult at first, s yu think yu can't stick t the psitive change yu're making.This excuse can be cuntered (对抗）by lking at the fact that ther peple were n mre capable than yu thught yu were.Fr example, my 60-year-ld next-dr neighbr finished running a marathn, s I tld myself, "If she can d it, s can I !" Truth be tld, the nly persn wh tells yu "I can't" is yurself.If yu hear thse wrds eching in the back f yur mind, tune them ut.
I've witnessed peple reinventing themselves at all ages 48-year-lds starting families, 57-year-lds graduating frm cllege fr the first time, 71-year-lds starting successful businesses, and s frth.
Anther cmmn excuse is that "I've already failed t much." If yu break dwn, it's fine, because yu are nly human.Just dn't stay dwn; take a rest, and then pick yurself up s yu can g t where yu'd rather be.As Winstn Churchill said, "Success is never final; failure is never fatal .It is curage t cntinue that cunts."
Sme peple feel like quitting when they have almst reached their gal, while thers attain gals thrugh their effrts until the last secnd.S make sme necessary adjustments t get rid f the bad habit f making excuses.Keep ging! N excuses! Think, wrk, and climb, that's hw yu'll mve yur life frward.
41. Why des ur mind make excuses?
A. It tends t seek cmfrts rather than suffering.
B It needs rest and relaxatin .
C. It is preparing fr the difficult times.
D. It is the way it tries t find a slutin.
42. What might "grund zer" in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. The lwest spt.B. The safest place
C. The riginal placeD. The prper psitin
43. Knwing his neighbr finished the marathn made the authr realize________.
A. cmpleting a marathn was nt t difficult
B. peple ften neglect their abilities
C. lking dwn upn the thers is wrng
D. peple shuldn't let negative thughts step in their way
44. Fr smene wh fears failure, the authr advises him t_______.
A. learn frm thse gd examples
B. stp fr a while and examine himself

Many sugar—sweetened beverages(饮料)have little t ffer—n nutritinal value and lts f calries, and their harmful health effects have been well—dcumented. Nw, a study links drinking t many sugary beverages—and even 100% natural fruit juices—t an increased risk f early death. Specifically, drinking t much fruit juice culd lead t an increased risk f early death ranging frm 9% t 42%, accrding t a study.
Overall, the sugars fund in range juice, althugh naturally ccurring, are pretty similar t the sugars added t sda and ther sweetened beverages, the study suggests. “Sugary beverages, whether sft drinks r fruit juices, shuld be limited,” Jean Welsh, a c—authr f the study said.
Seven US cities, including New Yrk and mst recently Philadelphia, have levied(征收)taxes n sweetened drinks with added sugar in an effrt t reduce cnsumptin. The new study defined “sugary beverages” as bth sugar—sweetened drinks, like sda and fruit—flavred drinks, and 100% natural fruit juices that have n added sugar. S hw des fruit juice cmpare t sda? “Previus research has shwn that high cnsumptin f sugars like thse in sft drinks and fruit juices is linked t several cardivascular(心血管的)disease risk factrs,” Welsh explained.
Peple wh cnsumed 10% r mre f their daily calries as sugary beverages had a 44% greater risk f dying due t a heart disease and a 14% greater risk f an early death frm any cause cmpared with peple wh cnsumed less than 5% f their daily calries as sugary beverages, the study shwed. Each additinal 12—unce(盎司)serving f fruit juice per day was assciated with a 24% higher risk f death frm any cause, and each additinal 12—unce serving f sugary beverages per day was assciated with an 11% higher risk.
This is ne f the first studies t examine the relatinship between sugary drinks, including 100% fruit juices, and early death, wrte Marta Guasch—Fere and Dr. Frank B. Hu in an editrial published alngside the new study. “Althugh fruit juices may nt be as harmful as sugar—sweetened beverages, their cnsumptin shuld be mderated in children and adults, especially fr individuals wh wish t cntrl their bdy weight,” Guasch—Fere and Hu wrte.
Welsh said we need t cnsider bth fruit juices and sugar—sweetened beverages when we think abut hw much sugar we cnsume each day. Between the tw, she was in favr f fruit juices: “Given its vitamin and mineral cntent, fruit juice in small amunts may have a beneficial effect that isn’t seen with sdas and ther sugar—sweetened beverages.”
46. What can we learn frm the first paragraph?
A. Sugar—free drinks basically have n nutritinal value.
B. Natural fruit juices are usually healthier than sugary beverages.
C. The negative effect f drinking t many beverages remains unknwn.
D. Drinking t much fruit juice may nt be a healthy ptin.
47. Why have seven US cities taxed sugary beverages?
A. T increase the gvernment’s incme.
B. T let peple buy less sweetened beverages.
C. T urge peple t turn t sugar—free drinks.
D. T increase the cnsumptin f natural juice.
48. Hw are the findings f the study presented t us?
A. By making cmparisns.B. By giving examples.
C. By giving advice.D. By stating the facts.
49. What des the underlined wrd “mderated” mst prbably mean?
A. Avided.B. Increased.C. ReducedD. Encuraged
50. Frm Jean Welsh’s wrds, we knw that ______.
A. sugar is a majr cause f cardivascular disease
B. the sugar in juice is different frm the sugar in sweetened beverages
C. fruit juices are nly recmmended when cnsumed in small amunts
D. the amunt f sugar we cnsume mainly lies in drinks with added sugar

Research has shwn that behaviral signaling is largely universal — nt nly acrss cultures, but acrss species. Based n this knwledge, Cgit Crp has created an artificial intelligence (AI) technlgy t analyze behaviral and vcal cues t prvide in-the-mment guidance during cnversatins, making individuals mre emtinally intelligent.
“Artificial intelligence cntinues t have a transfrmatinal effect acrss industries. One area we see specific accelerated advancement in with this technlgy, is machine learning,” said Dr. Jhn Kane f Cgit. “Much f the advancement in machine learning is due t the fact that it’s nt far remved frm ur daily lives. Take Amazn’s Alexa as a husehld example: Alexa can recgnize and respnd t whispered speech fr vice cmmands, made pssible thrugh machine learning advancement,”Kane cntinued. He als pinted ut that “media has built unrealistic expectatins in the minds f the general public when it cmes t AI, where in fact, machine learning algrithms are still generally develped fr narrwly defined purpses.”
Cgit was funded with the missin f helping humans cmmunicate with mre emtinal intelligence. Presently, it helps individuals acrss enterprise-level rganizatins, mainly in the insurance, healthcare and financial service industries, create strnger custmer service utcmes with the help f the Cgit AI cach. “Our gal is t prvide in-the-mment guidance t individuals within enterprise call centers s they can adjust their behavir and imprve custmer experiences,” Kane said.
Cgit’s AI technlgy aims t ffer a win-win-win mdel fr cmpanies — imprving agent perfrmance s that emplyees are mre ccupied with their wrk, custmers are mre satisfied and the cmpany is mre prductive. Cgit’s in-the-mment guidance identifies patterns and cues that may be easily verlked, giving cnsistent recmmendatins t agents in real time. This fcused level f analysis helps managers cach high-perfrming agents t be mre cnsistent and lw-perfrming agents t identify areas fr imprvement — psitively impacting cmpanies.
Lking t the future, Cgit’s CEO and c-funder, Jshua Feast, sees an pprtunity t wn the AI caching space. AI caches guide humans t imprve their individual and team perfrmance, resulting in a mre prductive, emtinally intelligent and successful wrkfrce.
51. What’s the main reasn fr machine learning’s advancement?
A. Its cnnectins with ur daily lives.
B. Its being a basic area f AI technlgy.
C. An increasing demand fr the technlgy.
D. Media’s effrts t prmte the technlgy.
52. What d yu knw abut AI frm Kane’s wrds?
A. It has wider uses than expected.
B. What it can d nw may be verestimated.
C. It is far frm familiar t the public.
D. Mst advanced AI technlgies remain unknwn t the public.
53. Why was Cgit established?
A. T bring greater advancement in machine learning.
B. T reveal the behaviral differences between humans.
C. T make humans mre emtinally intelligent in cnversatins.
D. T help cmpanies mnitr and measure emplyees’ wrk perfrmance.
54 Where is Cgit’s AI technlgy mainly applied?
A. In small cmpanies.
B. In educatinal agencies.
C. In internatinal trading.
D. In the service industry.
55. What can be inferred abut Cgit’s AI technlgy?
A. It faces a lt f challenges.
B. It seems t have a bright future.
C. It may replace the human wrkfrce sner r later.
D. It is disadvantageus t lw-perfrming emplyees.

Develped by Spanish fashin brand Sepiia, the Ultimate Smart Shirt 3.0 is a special men’s clthing that can reduce the wearer’s stress, imprve bld flw and increase energy levels.
Sepiia has been develping smart clthing fr years nw. Its first-generatin clthing included astaining-resistant fabric (抗污织物) arund the cuffs (袖口) and neck, thus requiring less frequent washing, while the secnd-generatin intrduced a mre breathable fabric that prevented t much sweat, while als being smell-resistant. Fr its latest generatin f smart clthing, Sepiia intrduced the cncept f health, by develping a fabric that has all the characteristics f previus generatins, as well as new biceramic nanparticles (生物陶瓷纳米粒) that imprve the wearer’s health.
Accrding t Sepiia, the biceramic nanparticles are able t reprduce the FIR (Far Infrared Rays 远红外线)frm the sun. The heat prduced by these rays gets int the wearer’s skin and benefits the muscles, jints and bld vessels by prmting bld circulatin.
The biceramic material als absrbs harmful rays frm the sun, thus prtecting the wearer’s skin, and reflects the sun’s rays, creating a virtual heat barrier, keeping the wearer cl and cmfrtable.
“We started with clthes that were cmfrtable, and nw ur gal is fr fashin t evlve twards persnal health” Sepiia CEO, Federic Sainz, said.
Athletes are already using biceramic nanparticles in their sleepwear t imprve their perfrmance, but Sepiia wants t bring the same benefits t the general public, all thrugh the day.
The Ultimate Smart Shirt 3.0 is already available fr pre-rder via Sepiia’s Kickstarter page, fr a price f $98. If that seems expensive, just keep in mind that Sepiia’s smart shirt is a lt mre serviceable than rdinary shirts, as well as stain-resistant, s yu’ll be able t wear it fr many years. Wh knws, yu may even end up saving mney.
56. What is the difference between the latest generatin f smart clthing and the previus tw? (n mre than 5 wrds)
57. What can the Ultimate Smart Shirt 3.0 make wearers feel? (n mre than 5 wrds)
58. What benefit can sleepwear cntaining biceramic nanparticles bring t athletes? (n mre than 5 wrds)
59. What des the underlined wrd in the last paragraph prbably mean? (n mre than 10 wrds)

The mind is a wnderful thing.It’s als excuse-making machine that frequently tries t cnvince us nt t take actin we knw are gd fr us.If we hadn't learned abut these excuses, r hw t vercme them, we wuld never have succeeded in making these psitive changes.
S why des the mind mess with us and make unreasnable excuses? Because the mind wants cmfrt, that's the reasn.It’s afraid f discmfrt, pressure and change.The mind is absrbed in its cmfrt zne, and anytime we try t stretch that zne t far, fr t lng, the mind tries desperately t get back t "grund zer" at any cst.These damaging excuses, such as "I can't d it", "It is t hard fr me", "It’s t late nw" and s n, are n strangers t ur minds.
It seems t difficult at first, s yu think yu can't stick t the psitive change yu're making.This excuse can be cuntered (对抗）by lking at the fact that ther peple were n mre capable than yu thught yu were.Fr example, my 60-year-ld next-dr neighbr finished running a marathn, s I tld myself, "If she can d it, s can I !" Truth be tld, the nly persn wh tells yu "I can't" is yurself.If yu hear thse wrds eching in the back f yur mind, tune them ut.
I've witnessed peple reinventing themselves at all ages 48-year-lds starting families, 57-year-lds graduating frm cllege fr the first time, 71-year-lds starting successful businesses, and s frth.
Anther cmmn excuse is that "I've already failed t much." If yu break dwn, it's fine, because yu are nly human.Just dn't stay dwn; take a rest, and then pick yurself up s yu can g t where yu'd rather be.As Winstn Churchill said, "Success is never final; failure is never fatal .It is curage t cntinue that cunts."
Sme peple feel like quitting when they have almst reached their gal, while thers attain gals thrugh their effrts until the last secnd.S make sme necessary adjustments t get rid f the bad habit f making excuses.Keep ging! N excuses! Think, wrk, and climb, that's hw yu'll mve yur life frward.
41. Why des ur mind make excuses?
A. It tends t seek cmfrts rather than suffering.
B It needs rest and relaxatin .
C. It is preparing fr the difficult times.
D. It is the way it tries t find a slutin.
42. What might "grund zer" in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. The lwest spt.B. The safest place
C. The riginal placeD. The prper psitin
43. Knwing his neighbr finished the marathn made the authr realize________.
A. cmpleting a marathn was nt t difficult
B. peple ften neglect their abilities
C. lking dwn upn the thers is wrng

Many sugar—sweetened beverages(饮料)have little t ffer—n nutritinal value and lts f calries, and their harmful health effects have been well—dcumented. Nw, a study links drinking t many sugary beverages—and even 100% natural fruit juices—t an increased risk f early death. Specifically, drinking t much fruit juice culd lead t an increased risk f early death ranging frm 9% t 42%, accrding t a study.
Overall, the sugars fund in range juice, althugh naturally ccurring, are pretty similar t the sugars added t sda and ther sweetened beverages, the study suggests. “Sugary beverages, whether sft drinks r fruit juices, shuld be limited,” Jean Welsh, a c—authr f the study said.
Seven US cities, including New Yrk and mst recently Philadelphia, have levied(征收)taxes n sweetened drinks with added sugar in an effrt t reduce cnsumptin. The new study defined “sugary beverages” as bth sugar—sweetened drinks, like sda and fruit—flavred drinks, and 100% natural fruit juices that have n added sugar. S hw des fruit juice cmpare t sda? “Previus research has shwn that high cnsumptin f sugars like thse in sft drinks and fruit juices is linked t several cardivascular(心血管的)disease risk factrs,” Welsh explained.
Peple wh cnsumed 10% r mre f their daily calries as sugary beverages had a 44% greater risk f dying due t a heart disease and a 14% greater risk f an early death frm any cause cmpared with peple wh cnsumed less than 5% f their daily calries as sugary beverages, the study shwed. Each additinal 12—unce(盎司)serving f fruit juice per day was assciated with a 24% higher risk f death frm any cause, and each additinal 12—unce serving f sugary beverages per day was assciated with an 11% higher risk.
This is ne f the first studies t examine the relatinship between sugary drinks, including 100% fruit juices, and early death, wrte Marta Guasch—Fere and Dr. Frank B. Hu in an editrial published alngside the new study. “Althugh fruit juices may nt be as harmful as sugar—sweetened beverages, their cnsumptin shuld be mderated in children and adults, especially fr individuals wh wish t cntrl their bdy weight,” Guasch—Fere and Hu wrte.
Welsh said we need t cnsider bth fruit juices and sugar—sweetened beverages when we think abut hw much sugar we cnsume each day. Between the tw, she was in favr f fruit juices: “Given its vitamin and mineral cntent, fruit juice in small amunts may have a beneficial effect that isn’t seen with sdas and ther sugar—sweetened beverages.”
46. What can we learn frm the first paragraph?
A. Sugar—free drinks basically have n nutritinal value.
B. Natural fruit juices are usually healthier than sugary beverages.
C. The negative effect f drinking t many beverages remains unknwn.
D. Drinking t much fruit juice may nt be a healthy ptin.
47. Why have seven US cities taxed sugary beverages?
A. T increase the gvernment’s incme.
B. T let peple buy less sweetened beverages.
C. T urge peple t turn t sugar—free drinks.
D. T increase the cnsumptin f natural juice.
48. Hw are the findings f the study presented t us?
A. By making cmparisns.B. By giving examples.
C. By giving advice.D. By stating the facts.
49. What des the underlined wrd “mderated” mst prbably mean?
A. Avided.B. Increased.C. ReducedD. Encuraged
50. Frm Jean Welsh’s wrds, we knw that ______.
A. sugar is a majr cause f cardivascular disease
B. the sugar in juice is different frm the sugar in sweetened beverages
C. fruit juices are nly recmmended when cnsumed in small amunts

Research has shwn that behaviral signaling is largely universal — nt nly acrss cultures, but acrss species. Based n this knwledge, Cgit Crp has created an artificial intelligence (AI) technlgy t analyze behaviral and vcal cues t prvide in-the-mment guidance during cnversatins, making individuals mre emtinally intelligent.
“Artificial intelligence cntinues t have a transfrmatinal effect acrss industries. One area we see specific accelerated advancement in with this technlgy, is machine learning,” said Dr. Jhn Kane f Cgit. “Much f the advancement in machine learning is due t the fact that it’s nt far remved frm ur daily lives. Take Amazn’s Alexa as a husehld example: Alexa can recgnize and respnd t whispered speech fr vice cmmands, made pssible thrugh machine learning advancement,”Kane cntinued. He als pinted ut that “media has built unrealistic expectatins in the minds f the general public when it cmes t AI, where in fact, machine learning algrithms are still generally develped fr narrwly defined purpses.”
Cgit was funded with the missin f helping humans cmmunicate with mre emtinal intelligence. Presently, it helps individuals acrss enterprise-level rganizatins, mainly in the insurance, healthcare and financial service industries, create strnger custmer service utcmes with the help f the Cgit AI cach. “Our gal is t prvide in-the-mment guidance t individuals within enterprise call centers s they can adjust their behavir and imprve custmer experiences,” Kane said.
Cgit’s AI technlgy aims t ffer a win-win-win mdel fr cmpanies — imprving agent perfrmance s that emplyees are mre ccupied with their wrk, custmers are mre satisfied and the cmpany is mre prductive. Cgit’s in-the-mment guidance identifies patterns and cues that may be easily verlked, giving cnsistent recmmendatins t agents in real time. This fcused level f analysis helps managers cach high-perfrming agents t be mre cnsistent and lw-perfrming agents t identify areas fr imprvement — psitively impacting cmpanies.
Lking t the future, Cgit’s CEO and c-funder, Jshua Feast, sees an pprtunity t wn the AI caching space. AI caches guide humans t imprve their individual and team perfrmance, resulting in a mre prductive, emtinally intelligent and successful wrkfrce.
51. What’s the main reasn fr machine learning’s advancement?
A. Its cnnectins with ur daily lives.
B. Its being a basic area f AI technlgy.
C. An increasing demand fr the technlgy.
D. Media’s effrts t prmte the technlgy.
52. What d yu knw abut AI frm Kane’s wrds?
A. It has wider uses than expected.
B. What it can d nw may be verestimated.
C. It is far frm familiar t the public.
D. Mst advanced AI technlgies remain unknwn t the public.
53. Why was Cgit established?
A. T bring greater advancement in machine learning.
B. T reveal the behaviral differences between humans.
C. T make humans mre emtinally intelligent in cnversatins.
D. T help cmpanies mnitr and measure emplyees’ wrk perfrmance.
54 Where is Cgit’s AI technlgy mainly applied?
A. In small cmpanies.
B. In educatinal agencies.
C. In internatinal trading.
D. In the service industry.
55. What can be inferred abut Cgit’s AI technlgy?
A. It faces a lt f challenges.
B. It seems t have a bright future.
C. It may replace the human wrkfrce sner r later.
D. It is disadvantageus t lw-perfrming emplyees.

Develped by Spanish fashin brand Sepiia, the Ultimate Smart Shirt 3.0 is a special men’s clthing that can reduce the wearer’s stress, imprve bld flw and increase energy levels.
Sepiia has been develping smart clthing fr years nw. Its first-generatin clthing included astaining-resistant fabric (抗污织物) arund the cuffs (袖口) and neck, thus requiring less frequent washing, while the secnd-generatin intrduced a mre breathable fabric that prevented t much sweat, while als being smell-resistant. Fr its latest generatin f smart clthing, Sepiia intrduced the cncept f health, by develping a fabric that has all the characteristics f previus generatins, as well as new biceramic nanparticles (生物陶瓷纳米粒) that imprve the wearer’s health.
Accrding t Sepiia, the biceramic nanparticles are able t reprduce the FIR (Far Infrared Rays 远红外线)frm the sun. The heat prduced by these rays gets int the wearer’s skin and benefits the muscles, jints and bld vessels by prmting bld circulatin.
The biceramic material als absrbs harmful rays frm the sun, thus prtecting the wearer’s skin, and reflects the sun’s rays, creating a virtual heat barrier, keeping the wearer cl and cmfrtable.
“We started with clthes that were cmfrtable, and nw ur gal is fr fashin t evlve twards persnal health” Sepiia CEO, Federic Sainz, said.
Athletes are already using biceramic nanparticles in their sleepwear t imprve their perfrmance, but Sepiia wants t bring the same benefits t the general public, all thrugh the day.
The Ultimate Smart Shirt 3.0 is already available fr pre-rder via Sepiia’s Kickstarter page, fr a price f $98. If that seems expensive, just keep in mind that Sepiia’s smart shirt is a lt mre serviceable than rdinary shirts, as well as stain-resistant, s yu’ll be able t wear it fr many years. Wh knws, yu may even end up saving mney.
56. What is the difference between the latest generatin f smart clthing and the previus tw? (n mre than 5 wrds)
57. What can the Ultimate Smart Shirt 3.0 make wearers feel? (n mre than 5 wrds)
