It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own tw
11、o legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good days walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced and beata teenage football player the 16
12、8 steps up the Stature of Liberty.Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart.

18、 tell people to reflect more on life.B. To recommend people to give up drivingC. To advise people to do outdoor activitiesD. To encourage people to return to walkingCChoosing the Right Resolution (決定)Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with, a goal of losing w
19、eight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.To reach our goal of losing weight - the output, we need to control what we eat - the input ( 輸入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals. The alternative is to focus your
20、 resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “Ill stop having dessert for lunch,” or “Ill walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome. Recently a
21、 new science behind incentives (激勵) , including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others,
22、the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output. Fryers conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because students do not know how to do better on exam,
23、aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control. As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And its easier to start again if you fail, because you know
24、exactly what you need to do. If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isnt a goal because its too
25、 general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, dont stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday. In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.9. The writer thinks that settin
26、g weight loss as a goal is a mistake because_ .A. it is hard to achieve for most Americans B. it is focused too much on the resultC. it is dependent on too many things D. it is based on actionable decisions10. In Roland Fryers research, some students did better than the others because _ .A. they obe
27、yed all the general rules B. they paid more attention to examsC. they were motivated by their classmates D. they were rewarded for reading some books11. According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal?A. “Ill give up dessert.” B. “Ill study harder.”C. “Ill cut down my expen
28、se”D. “Ill spend more time with my family”12. The writer strongly believes that we should _ .A. develop good habits and focus on the outcomeB. be optimistic about final goals and stick to themC. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habitsD. set ambitious goals that can balance the inpu
29、t and output DThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert （警覺）. Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time wit
30、h the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝視） starts to lose its focus until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different fro
31、m three, just 24 hours after coming into the world? Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards
32、with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen wh
33、en their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise （同樣地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved t
34、o spots.13. Babies are sensitive to the change in_.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects14. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment. B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry
35、their experiment further. D. To keep the babies interest.15. Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction. B. Childrens literature.C. An advertisement. D.

37、ese organizations are primarily nongovernmental service providers. 72 Business management is a term used to describe the techniques of planning, direction, and control of the operations of a business. 73 One is the establishment（制定） of broad basic policies with respect to production; sales; the purc
38、hase of equipment, materials and supplies; and accounting. 74 The third relates to the establishment of standards of work in all departments.
