If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping．I would have laughed heartily．Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags．They had nothing in common with me．36 ．
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer．37 We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom．This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning．
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness．38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner．My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life．
39 We have done a lot of it since．Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set．There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator．The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains．
40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature．I recommend that you find your way in style．
A．This time there was no tent．
B．Things are going to be improved．
C．The trip they took me on was a rough one．
D．I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however．
E．I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping．
F．After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping．
G．There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall．

Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you’re trying to get work done．36 ，there are several ways to handle things．Let’s take a look at them now．
37 ．Tell the person you’re sorry and explain that you have a million things to
do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time．
When people try to interrupt you，have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you’ll find them then．38 ．It can help to eliminate(消除) future interruptions．
When you need to talk to someone，don’t do it in your own office．39 ．it’s much easier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are.
If you have a door to your office，make good use of it．40 ．If someone knocks and it’s not an important matter．excuse yourself and let the person know you’re busy so they can get the hint(暗示) than when the door is closed，you’re not to be disturbed．A．If you’re busy，don’t feel bad about saying no
B．When you want to avoid interruptions at work

Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock．In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock 36 Here is how to make one．
●37 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important．Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? 0nce you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make．
●Rethink mornings．Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities．If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags．38 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer．
●Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends．If you’re tired out by Friday night,
sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful．But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found．39
Keep a record and evaluate it weekly．Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel．After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record．40 If not, take another look at other methods you could try．
A．Get a sleep specialist．
B．Find the right motivation．
C．A better plan for sleep can help．
D．And consider setting a second alarm．
E．If the steps you take are working, keep it up．
F．Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day．
G．Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee．

Every animal sleeps，but the reason for this has remained foggy．When lab rats are not allowed to sleep，they die within a month．71
0ne idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories．72 We know that，while awake，fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells，but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear．
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight，making room for fresh memories to form the next day．73
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right．74 The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep，showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping．If Tononi’s theory is right，it would explain why，when we miss a night`s，we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences．
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner．The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size．75 “You keep what matters，” Tononi says．
A．We should also try to sleep well the night before．
B．It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories．
C．Similarly，when people go for a few days without sleeping，they get sick．
D．The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories．
E．That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning．F．“Sleep is the price we pay for learning，” says Giulio Tononi，who developed the idea．G．Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections，or synapses，in the brains of 12 mice．5．（2017浙江）
How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews
The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the sport．31 But with these tips，your first
man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy．
·When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story，think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it．For example，if your topic is about environmental problems in America，you might ask，“Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” 32
·Hit the streets with confidence．33 Say，“Excuse me，I work for XYZ News，and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic．” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you．
·Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera．Don’t get discouraged．
·34 Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes．As soon as you get the answer you need，move on to the next person．Make sure that as you go from interview to interview，you are getting a variety of answers．If everyone is giving you the same answer，you won’t be able to use it． A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten．35
·If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air，don’t leave work without them．
A．Limit your time．
B．As you approach people，be polite．
C．If you don’t own a camera，you can buy one．

Secret codes (密码)keep messages private．Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer．People have used secret codes for thousands of years．36 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making．The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography．
There are three main types of cryptography．37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me．”
__38__ You might represent each letter with a number, For example, Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26．If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5．”
A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences．To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book．39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet”and “out” might stand for “me．” The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me．”
40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long．So codes must be changed frequently．
A．It is very hard to break a code without the code book．
B．In any language, some letters are used more than others．
C．0nly people who know the keyword can read the message．
D．As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them．
E．You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out．
F．With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words．G．Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alph abet．

A garden that’s just right for you
Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts? 36 . But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.
●37
Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. 0thers are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers(肥料). 38 . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. 0ne of them comes from our earliest years.
●Recall(回忆) your childhood memories
0ur model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important. 39 --how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 40 then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden.

Everyone knows that fish is good for health．36 But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at hom e．Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home．Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult．37 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way．
38 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge．Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh．39 When you have bought a
fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two．Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one．
There are many common methods used to cook fish．40 First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices (调料)．Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound．(A larger one will take more time．) Then, it’s ready to serve．
A．Do not buy it．
B．The easiest is to steam it．
C．This is how you can do it．
D．It just requires a little knowledge．
E．The fish will go bad within hours．
F．When buying fish, you should first smell it．
G．The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease．

The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes We decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward，the risk seems worth tasking．71 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us．Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work．
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans．Risk-takers were better at hunting，fighting，or exploring．72 As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next，humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk．
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well，even 200,000 years ago，too much risk-taking could get one killed． A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types．As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today．So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it．73
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years．74 To help you do that, your brain
increases your hunger for new experiences．New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well．
75 For the risk-seekers，a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active．
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool．
A．It all depends on your character．
B．Those are the risks you should jump to take．
C．Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival．
D．Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest．
E．This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world．F．However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards．G．New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation．10．（2016四川）
Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries．36 In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men．0ne reason for this is biological．
0ne important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women．37 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力)．These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow．In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks．
38 They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections． This means that w omen generally ger sick less often and less seriously than men． The common cold is a good ex ample: women, on average, get fewer colds than men．39 Scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do． Some think that a woman’s body cells hav e a tendency(向) to age more slowly than a man’s． 0thers think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly． 40
A．However, women, on average, live longer．
B ．The biological factor plays an important part．
C． Women are also helped by their female genes．
D． The female hormones also protect the body in another way．
E． Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities．
F． Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life．
G． Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control carious body func tions．

Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 36 Trust is a risk. But you ca n’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been stole from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore, 37 It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
38 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.
39 If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and li ving with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.
0nce trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 40 instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
A. Learn to really trust yourself.
B. It is putting confidence in someone.
C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E. They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.
F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened. 12．（2015北京）
This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy. 73 They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. 72 Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. 73 And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.
It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.
74
Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. 75
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.
A．Having interesting things to think about also helps.
B．They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
C．Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.
D．At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
E．It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.
F．Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be
hard to understand.
G．Therefore, i t’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone.

Evaluating Sources (来源) of health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation． A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information．Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources．71
Go to the original source．Media reports often simplify the results of medical research．Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was
based on good science．Think about the type of study．72
Watch for misleading language．Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result．73 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it．Use your common sense．If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is．Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements．74 Evaluate “scientific”statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术)．
75 Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us．
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life．
A．Make choice that are right for you．
B．The goal of an ad is to sell you something．
C．Be sure to work through the critical questions．
D．And examine the findings of the original research．
E．Distinguish between research reports and public health advice．
F．Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view．
G．The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources．

高考英语阅读专题练习七选五 Muzak The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 71 It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That's because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway. Quiet background music used to be called "elevator (电梯) music" because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name "Muzak". About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak" everyday. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 72 If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 73 Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak doeswhat it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 74 Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries. 75 . They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak! A. Some people don't like Muzak. B. The music gives them extra energy. C. Music is playing in the background. D. Factory workers produce 13 percent more. E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better. F. They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used. G. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world. Public speaking and critical thinking What is critical thinking? To a certain degree, it’s a matter of logic(逻辑)—of being able to spot weaknesses in other people’s argument and to avoid them in your own, it also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence. In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking—the ability to see clearly their relationships among ideas. 71 The greatest thinkers, scientists and inventors have often taken their information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas that, too, is critical thinking. 72 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical(机械的) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not a matter ofarranging the ideas you already have. 73 What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 75 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class. You will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations. If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece. A. Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves. B. This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it. C. It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. D. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas. E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot. F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways. G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking ,you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well. Empathy Last year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. __71__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs. Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. __72__ There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. __73__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear. Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. __74__ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says. What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __75__ To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter. A.Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person. B.That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.
