• 2．?You can't imagine how terrible I felt at that time.A month before my first marathon，one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks，leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet，I was determined to go ahead.
  ?I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first PE class，the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn't do either well.He later informed me that I was "not athletic".
  ?The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself，not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!
  ?The night before my marathon，I dreamed that I couldn't even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous，but ready to prove something to myself.
  ?Shortly after crossing the start line，my shoe laces became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted!
  ?At mile 3，I passed a sign："GO FORIT，RUNNERS!"
  ?By mile 17，I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain，I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
  ?By mile 21，I was starving!
  ?As I approached mile 23，I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m.or questioned my expenses on running.
  ?I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished!And I got a medal.In fact，I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
  ?Determined to be myself，move forward，free of shame and worldly labels（世俗標(biāo)簽），I can now call myself a "marathon winner".

• 3．?It's normal for teens to want to stay connected with friends and social circle，but what about that happening in the middle of the night？The Journal of Youth Studies recently published new research showing that one in five teens from 12 to 15 regularly wake to spend all night on social media（社會媒體）.Not surprisingly，the research also showed that these social night owls were three times more likely than others to feel tired at school and that girls were more likely than boys to be called to office.
  ?The blue light produced by cell phones and computers makes the brain to stay awake，so it's easy to see why a teen might be up all night.A study in Psychological Science showed the same brain reaction：when teens saw large numbers of "likes" on their posts，they stayed awake with excitement as if they had eaten chocolates or won money.Besides not catching up on sleep and interrupting their sleep cycle，teens may never fully enter deep sleep that may be responsible for brain development and learning.
  ?Considering about 72 percent of children from 6 to 17 sleep with some electronic media in their bedrooms，parents need to set rules sooner rather than later.
  ?"Providing access（使用機(jī)會） to social media is a favor that children can ear and also lose，" Janie Feldman，an expert who treats sleep disorders（紊亂），reminds parents， "The bad effect is clear.So teens and parents should discuss and agree on its use，timing and access.When teenagers agree to the rules，it's easier for parents to control how much time they spend on the phones or computers."
  
  （1）What does the underlined part "night owls" in Paragraph I refer to？

  
  A．Girls often called to office.
  B．Boys regularly waking in the middle of the night.
  C．Teens who stay up late on social media.
  D．Teens who are busy with their homework at night.
  （2）How do teens react when seeing many "likes" on their posts according to the study？

  
  A．They fall asleep easily and happily.
  B．They are too excited to go to sleep.
  C．They are too excited to go to school.
  D．They decide to make more good friends.
  （3）What suggestion does Janie Feldman give to parents？

  
  A．Getting their children to do homework through computers.
  B．Making rules about media access together with their children.
  C．Encouraging their children to stay connected with online friends.
  D．Stopping their children from using cell phones.
  （4）What is the main idea of the text？

  
  A．Kids are trying to win back the trust of their parents.
  B．Deep sleep makes a big difference to brain development.
  C．Social media may cause teens' sleep disorders.
  D．Social media may have a bad effect on all kinds of people.

• 4．Some students get so nervous before a test.They do poorly even if they know the material.Sian Beilock，a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois，has studied these highly anxious test-takers.The students start worrying about the results.And when they worry，it actually uses up attention and memory resources（資源） .
     Professor Beilock and another researcher，Gerardo Ramirez，have developed a possible solution.Just before an exam，highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
     The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students.They gave them two short maths tests.After the first one，they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
     Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test.But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%.Next，the researchers used younger students in a biology class.They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test.Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+，compared to a B-for those who did not.
     "What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious，who'd done our writing intervention（干預(yù)），all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance.They were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these tests."
     But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam？Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
  
  （1）What may the students start worrying about before an exam？

  
  A．Whether they can pass the exams.
  B．What other students do during the test.
  C．Whether they have remembered the materials.
  D．What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.
  （2）What is the solution developed by researchers？

  
  A．Asking the students to ignore the test.
  B．Asking the students to focus on the test.
  C．Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.
  D．Asking the students to write about their worries before the test.
  （3）According to Professor Beilock，those who thought about things unrelated to the test

  .
  A．became less nervous before the test
  B．were better at controlling their feelings
  C．did worse than those who wrote about their feelings
  D．did better than those who wrote about their feelings
  （4）What can be learned from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Writing about our worries before an exam can work a bit.
  B．We can only write about our worries right before an exam.
  C．The best place to write about our worries is in the test room.
  D．It doesn't matter where we write about our worries before an exam.

• 5．If you have ever done competitive sports，you will know that starting a new season means a lot of hard work and practice.（1）

  Here are a few ways to make sure that you're ready for the first day.
     （2）

  Schedule specific workout times during the week to help you stick with it.Ask your coach，gym teacher or trainer for some advice before writing your plan.Besides，write down how long you have worked out and what activity you have done.
     Ask your coach if you aren't sure what you need.New equipment can be expensive，so think about using some second-hand equipment if it's available.Brothers，sisters and friends can be great sources of used equipment.（3）

  You can ask your coach to take a look at it before the first day of practice.If you are a returning player，take out all your equipment，try it on and make sure that it still fits and works.
     （4）

  Sports camps can help new and experienced players brush up on skills before the season starts.College players，coaches or other professionals usually teach in the camps.Many schools and colleges offer various sports camps during the summer and on the weekend during the school year.
     Your school or team will probably require a physical check before allowing you to participate.Because everyone needs to get checked at the beginning of the season，doctors tend to be busy those times of the year.Therefore，set up an appointment with the doctor earlier.（5）

  
  
  A.Set realistic goals.
  B.You can also consider a sports camp.
  C.Just make sure that it's very clean and safe to use.
  D.It's also normal to feel a little nervous about starting.
  E.Making the team and getting in shape are great goals.
