• 2．Before my first hike to the Rocky Mountains，I was a homebody.I had friends to hang out with，several hobbies，and I felt comfortable spending weeks or even months in my hometown without going anywhere.I thought there was no difference between seeing something on TV and seeing something with one's own eyes.
     The situation changed one day when David，my best friend，came to my room. He always got a couple of colorful bugs in his head.He succeeded in talking me into joining him on his trip to the Rocky Mountains.
     This was my first time in the mountains，so I was turning my head in all directions.Unluckily，the weather was foggy most of the time，and the higher we climbed the mountains，the less we could see.But I still enjoyed the hike.I walked fast，and because of that I ran out of energy long before we got to the top.David knew how to save energy.
     When we finally got to the top，nothing had really changed.The same fog was covering everything.I felt disappointed，as I expected to see the view from above and take some photos.We spent a couple of hours on the top，and decided to turn back.Then the wind suddenly cleared the clouds and the sun came out.It wasn't until then that I knew how beautiful the mountains looked.And for some moments I couldn't believe my eyes.
     At that moment，I realized that I wouldn't be able to live a life without visiting the mountains at least twice a year.

• 3．Yellow is usually the color of happy，joyful emotions （情感）．But according to a new study，not all people associate the sunshiny shade with good feelings．
     To find out what factors might play a role，researchers tested a new hypothesis （假設）：What if people's physical surroundings affect their feelings about certain colors？For example，if someone lived in cold and rainy Finland，would they feel differently about the color yellow from someone who lived near the Sahara Desert？
     The researchers looked at color-emotion data from an ongoing international survey （調(diào)查） of 6 ，625 people in 55 countries．The survey asked participants to rate 12 colors on how closely they were associated with feelings including joy，pride，fear，and shame．
     The researchers paid particular attention to the data for yellow，and analyzed how different factors一including hours of sunshine，hours of daylight，and the amount of rainfall一lined up with the emotions people reported for the color．The two best predictors of how people felt about yellow were the annual amount of rainfall，and how far they lived from the equator （赤道）．
     Overall，people were more likely to associate yellow with joy when they lived in rainier countries that lay farther from the equator，researchers reported in the Journal of Environmental Psychology．In Egypt，the likelihood of yellow being associated with joy was just 5.7% ，whereas in chilly Finland it was 87.7%．In the United States，with its mild climate and amber waves of grain，people's yellow joy association levels were between 60% and 70%．
     The researchers also checked whether associations changed with the season - whether，for example，people in a certain country liked yellow more in the winter than they did in the summer．They found that opinions about color remained fairly constant year-round 一even when the weather changed，the data on yellow-joy associations were as good as gold．
  
  （1）What did the researchers do before the survey？

  
  A．They went to Finland．
  B．They made an assumption．
  C．They studied certain colors．
  D．They analyzed some data．
  （2）Which of the following affects people's feelings about yellow？

  
  A．The changeable seasons．
  B．The length of daytime．
  C．The geographic position．
  D．The amount of snowfall．
  （3）How did the researchers carry out the survey？

  
  A．By interviewing participants．
  B．By studying the data collected．
  C．By travelling around the world．
  D．By looking at color combinations．
  （4）What can be the best title of the text？

  
  A．Finland ：A Country Admiring Yellow．
  B．Yellow：Associated with Joy Conditionally．
  C．Color ：An Important Role in Good Feelings．
  D．Color-emotion Data ：Collected Internationally．

• 4．We get it：You're tired.You're busy.And your shoes are way over there.Excuses are OK sometimes，but not every day and especially not today.So put on your sneakers，get up off the couch，and let us kick your excuses to the curb （路牙子）.
     "I dislike panting （氣喘）!"
     Being really out of breath may mean you're trying too much too soon，which will kill your confidence.But you don't have to be huffing and puffing to get a workout.Active doesn't have to mean high-intensity （高強度）.It's just about moving.
     "I hate exercise."
     It may seem unbearable，but you just have to get started.Exercise releases endorphins （your brain's own feel-good chemicals），which can be habit forming.What's the best exercise？The one you'll do regularly.So you may hate running.Don't run!Ride your bike or just dance.Even cleaning your room is active.As long as you're moving and getting your blood pumping，it counts.So get creative.
     "I don't have time."
     You may not have lots of time to spare when you're busy with schoolwork，but I bet you can find 10 minutes.Bonus：An activity break will send oxygen to your brain，making you super-alert （超級警覺的） and more creative，too.Famous thinkers like Aristotle and Steve Jobs liked "walking meetings"，and you can follow in their footsteps by moving around while you brainstorm about a tough task or memorize your English vocabulary.
     "I never see results !"
     Even if you train with the help of a professional，you won't see results right away.But you will feel them almost immediately.Don't focus on how your body looks -focus on how you feel.Keep a journal of when you exercise （or don't） and how you feel that day：Stressed？Focused？Tired？When you start noticing the amazing effects of exercise，you'll have no excuses.
  
  （1）The underlined part "huffing and puffing" in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by

  .
  A．moving around
  B．breathing heavily
  C．feeling confident
  D．wearing nice shoes
  （2）In the author's eyes，the best exercise is the one that

  .
  A．is very relaxing
  B．you will stick to
  C．produces good results
  D．you can spare time on
  （3）Steve Jobs is mentioned to prove that doing exercise

  .
  A．is good for one's figure
  B．is good for one's health
  C．makes one much happier
  D．makes one more productive
  （4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Exercise Excuses We Are Not Buying
  B．Benefits of Regular Physical Activity
  C．The Best Exercise and Fitness Routines
  D．How to Get Started with an Exercise Plan

• 5．How to Stay Fit and Beautifully Healthy
  Find the time.
     （1）

  .Experts recommend that you should aim to be active for at least 30 minutes per day.Try scheduling your exercise the same way that you schedule other appointments and commitments.You'll be more likely to stick to it.
     （2）

  
     You will see the most benefits from exercise if you do it regularly.One good way to make it a habit is to pick a form of exercise that you enjoy.For example，if you like swimming，make it a point to swim twice a week.
     Go outdoors.
     There are definitely some benefits to work out at a gym — air conditioning and televisions are a few.（3）

  .The varied terrain（地形）of a road，sidewalk，or trail challenges your body，which will do you good.
     Use your local parks.
     Many parks will have great areas for running or walking. （4）

  ，you can also make use of the tennis courts or basketball courts.
     Be social.
     If you involve other people in your exercise routine，you'll see a positive impact in your results.Finding a workout friend can help with responsibilities.If you schedule an activity with a friend，you are less likely to cancel than if you were only canceling on yourself.Group exercise classes also offer benefits. （5）

  .They can also motivate you and correct your form to make sure that you are doing each move safely and effectively.
  
  A.Make it a habit
  B.If you like sports
  C.Exercise really does good
  D.If you have more free time
  E.In classes，instructors can offer encouraging words
