No Excuse Workout
Nobody likes a complicated workout program. Too often you find yourself buying highly complex programs which take up hours upon hours of your week.
That stops today.
No Excuse Workout is a new workout DVD that includes 2 DVDs each packed with 10 short, intense workouts. Every workout is exactly 4 minutes long, broken down into 8 specific sets. Each set lasts for 30 seconds—20 seconds of intense exercise and 10 seconds of rest.
All you have to do is follow along with Ryan as he takes you through these quick, effective, four-minute workouts.
After years of research, scientists have discovered that the key to burning fat and building muscles is no longer workouts. Instead, it’s the right combination of correct exercises—intense bursts with short rests. This is known as “interval training”. For more information, read The Science Behind High Intensity Interval Training.
No Excuse Workout DVD #1: 10 Dumbbell (哑铃) Workouts.
When you work out with Ryan in the first DVD, you’ll use inexpensive dumbbells in 10 different muscle-building, fat-burning workouts.
No Excuse Workout DVD #2: 10 Bodyweight Training Workouts
This DVD is your secret to uncovering the lean, sculpted (雕塑般的) body.

Just as the shiny brochure promised, from the moment I set foot on the Harvard campus last fall, I was exposed to an exciting and enlightening new world.
I was born and raised 1,500 miles away, in a small apartment in Jackson, Mississippi. I am an only child, so my mother overpowered me with her love. For someone who sees so much beauty in the world, she worked awfully hard to protect me from it. Television, rap music, and even basketball with the kids on the block were beyond consideration. It left me a bit bitter as a teenager, but I grew to appreciate her enormous sacrifices — walking me to the library every afternoon, laboring at multiple jobs to keep food on the table, and telling me stories late into the night.
When I announced the summer before my senior year of high school that I had decided to apply to a school in New England, I noticed her hesitant look before a warm smile enveloped her face. I pretended not to see, but I was never able to forget it. I tried to explain my reasons for wanting to leave — to prove I was smart enough, fear of taking the path of least resistance, the classic teenage feeling of being trapped — but the words just made me sound shallow and ungrateful.
Nevertheless, I began to work on the college applications — an early one for Harvard and roughly a dozen others standing by. I knew the chance of getting into Harvard was not in my favor. To my joy, I was notified of my acceptance into Harvard three days before my birthday. That night, after all of the celebratory texts and hugs, I sat in my room and began to cry uncontrollably.
Over the course of this year, I have changed in ways I never anticipated. I think I know now why my mother let me go. Harvard has forced me to grow and take a fair look at the world, and at myself. Needless to say, I would not trade the experience for anything.
24. The underlined word “overpowered” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________.
A. made a difference to B. made peace with
C. took advantage of D. took control of
25. What was the mother’s first response. to the author’s decision
A. She was worried about it. B. She laughed at it.
C. She approved of it immediately. D. She turned a deaf ear to it.
26. What did the author say about his admission to Harvard
A. It deserved a big celebration. B. It served as a late birthday present.
C. It was beyond his expectations. D. It was a favor he owed his mother.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Lifelong Learning in Harvard
B. Reflections on the Road to Harvard
C. What Harvard Means to My Mother and Me
D. How Harvard Shapes My Teenage’ Years
C
Genetic information is important because it stores, processes and transmits biological data from generation to generation. Some scientists even assume that knowing genetic information itself matters.
For example, in quantum mechanics (量子力学), here is a popular theory known as the “observer effect”, which states that the act of observing a phenomenon (usually by making some kind of measurement) necessarily changes that phenomenon. I other words, just by being there and having an interest in the outcome, we affect that outcome.
While the explanations behind the observer’s influence in quantum mechanics come down to the measuring instrument and not the observer’s conscious mind, we also see strong evidence for the “placebo effect” in medicine: patient’s condition can improve if they just believe they are receiving an effective treatment. And those beneficial effects can happen even if the patient is not actually receiving that treatment or if the treatment doesn’t actually work.
If our minds truly do have power over our surroundings and our bodies, what does having the genetic information do to us Does simply knowing more about our own physiology (生理机能) change it A recent study on exercise and obesity suggests that the answer is yes.
Those who were told they were at low genetic risk for obesity produced 2.5 times more of the fullness hormone and claimed to feel fuller despite eating the same meal as they had one week prior. Those who were told they had lower endurance because of their genes did worse on their physical test than they had before receiving that information: they showed lower lung capacity and quit sooner.
Thus, having information about our genetic risk can lead to improvements in our physiology (as was true for the eaters of the study), but it can also put us at a disadvantage (as with the poor exercise performers). So we certainly need to be cautious of incorrect genetic information. But as the Stanford study shows, even if the genetic information we receive is correct, how we receive it is also important.
28. How does the “placebo effect” in medicine work
A. The patient recovers with the timely treatment.
B. The patient’s condition’ worsens due to a lack of treatment.
C. The patient’s condition remains unchanged despite their belief.
D. The patient’s condition improves with the belief in the treatment.
29. According to paragraph 5, what happened to those who were told they were at low genetic risk for obesity
A. They showed lower lung capacity.
B. They quit their physical test sooner.
C. They needed more food to satisfy their appetite.
D. They felt fuller with more fullness hormone released.
30. What is the author’s a attitude towards having genetic (information
A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Ambiguous. D. Negative.
31. What is the main idea of this article
A. The great power of the observer’s mind.
B. The influence of knowing genetic information.
C. The amazing application of genetic information.
D. The connection between Quantum Mechanics and Medicine.
D
It’s unusual that you see the words “shyness” and “leader” in the same sentence. After all, the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not. A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership. Interestingly, the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy — they’re just better at adapting themselves to situational demands. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few “innies”.
Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking, shy people take a cautious attitude to chance. Rather than talk loudly, shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak. They’re not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking, but rather listening so they can learn what to say. Along the same lines, shy people share a common love of learning. They seek content without caring about an outside standard.
Being shy can also bring other benefits. Remember being in school and hearing the same kids discuss, until shy little Johnny, who almost never said a word, cut in Then what happened Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking. This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence: they “own” the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully, which translate to positive image.
Shyness is often related to modesty. Shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements. As a result, they are able to acknowledge mistakes, imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.
Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones, they’re more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires. Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren’t obvious. Don’t believe me Maybe you’ll believe Albert Einstein, who once said, “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s that I stay with problems longer.” Obviously, finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.
The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding. Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.
32. What can we can learn from Paragraph 2
A. Shy people are sensitive to rewards.
B. Shy people care more about content.
C. Outgoing people are more careful about chances
D. Outgoing people consider what to learn while listening.
33. The example of Johnny shows _________.
A. shy people are likely to be modest
B. hardworking students speak title in public
C. some students keep silent on purpose at school
D. shy people may have an advantage in discussion
34. What does the author want to convey by quoting Albert Einstein in Paragraph 5
A. Outside reward leads to insistence. B. Shyness results in devotion.
C. Shyness contributes to popularity. D. Uncertainty counts more than certainty.
35. How does the author mainly support his ideas
A. By making contrasts and giving examples.
B. By quoting authorities and making suggestions.
C. By explaining problems and providing solutions.
D. By giving definitions and presenting numbers.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At the center of the mall was the perfect Santa with a gentle manner and a real white beard. My six-year-old granddaughter, Leah, jumped from foot to foot as we waited in line for her turn to sit on his lap.
“I don’t know what to say,” Leah said, raising her neck around the kids in front of her.
“Sure you do.” her mother, Leanne, said. “It’s Santa. He’s already your friend. You’ll do just fine.”
“He’ll ask you what you want for Christmas.” I said. “And you just tell him.”
We’d gone over and over the toys she’d ask for. Her mother didn’t want surprises! Leah repeated the list. But a minute later, she inserted new toys she’d just spotted at the mall.
“I’ve got an idea,” said Leanne, digging into her purse as the line inched (缓慢移动) forward. “Let’s write down your requests so you won’t forget them.” I couldn’t help but laugh. Going to see Santa was such an important appointment for a six-year-old. No child should have any worries bigger than that. But the night before, on the news, I’d seen a village in the Middle East that had come under fire. Many of the wounded were children just like our Leah. Looking around the mall full of magical decorations and happy shoppers I felt safe, as safe as anyone could be. Everyone in the world should have that kind of security, especially at Christmas.
“Okay,” Leanne said. “Now you’ve got everything you want written down here. If you get nervous you can just give the note to Santa.”
Leah nodded and took the list. She read out loud, “A Chia Pet, Moon Sand and Aquadoodle.”
“Why don’t you add a fourth request, Leah,” I heard myself say. “Ask for peace on Earth.” My daughter looked a little surprised by my suggestion.
“What’s peace on Earth, Grandpa ” Leah asked.
“Peace on Earth means all the people in the world would get along. That’s the true meaning of Christmas.” Leah nodded seriously. “Yes,” she agreed.

Paragraph 1: Finally we reached the head of the line. Leah shyly handed Santa her note. “Peace on Earth That is your wish ” said Santa, “Ok. But I will need your help. Could you pick up a toy among your list and give it to one of your best friends who might want it, too ” After a bit while of hesitation, our little lovely girl said, “Ok, I will do it!” Though the mall was full of people, those words seemed extremely clear to me. A warm current welled up in my heart.
Paragraph 2: The coming days were filled with thrilling expectation. Finally, on Christmas eve, instead of playing with her fantastic new toys at home, Leah went to our neighbor’s house and gave the Aquadoodle to Jack, their little boy. The moment Jack unwrapped the parcel, he jumped with joy, “Thank you, Leah!” Leah had never tasted the feeling of being thanked before and I could tell her heart swelled with more joy than Jack’s. Seeing her big smile, I felt as if she were a lovely angel. “You are the peace on Earth, my darling,” I said to myself.
