I was the youngest of five boys and also had four sisters who had to pull together and take care of each other. Dad wasn't around, so I never knew him well. He killed himself when I was three years old, leaving mom with the job of raising nine kids. She was a very hard worker, and in order to make ends meet, she hardly ever rested. With my mom as my example, I learned that hard work is the best way to get what you want. Even as a little boy, I knew I was going to be successful. Regardless of what I chose, I wanted to make my brothers, sisters and mom proud of me—not only by being successful in what I chose to do, but also as a person who could be looked up to for the right reasons. Surprising as it might seem, basketball wasn't in my plans. One day, my mom cut a rim(边缘) off an old water barrel(水桶) and then held it up for me to throw an old rubber ball through. By junior high, I started playing basketball on a team. I loved to compete. For me, it paid off. I always put the effort in, every day. I am grateful for the life I've enjoyed as a basketball star. Basketball is not life. It can be exciting. But the most important thing about basketball is that it gives me a way to do good things for others as I move through this journey called life.1.It can be inferred that the author's________.A.brothers were more famous than himB.mother had a great influence on his careerC.father loved his children and wife very muchD.family was rich and happy when he was a child2.Why did the author's father kill himself?A.Because the family was poor.B.Because he often quarreled with his wife.C.Because he was seriously ill.D.The passage didn't tell us the reason.3.From the second paragraph, we can infer that________.A.the author was respected as a brave boyB.the author's family didn't like his careerC.the author got on well with his mother, brothers and sistersD.the author helped his brothers and sisters succeed4.What does the author get from basketball?A.How to do good things for others.B.Life is as hard as playing basketball.C.Cooperation with others is important.D.Two heads are wiser than one.

A team of US psychologists have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory. "Socializing is just as effective as more traditional kinds of mental exercise in boosting memory and intellectual performance," Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, said in a statement. In one investigation, they analyzed data on 3610 people, aged 24 to 96. They found that the higher their level of social interaction (交流), the better their cognitive (认知的) functioning.& Social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives, freinds and neighbors. In another experiment, the researchers conducted lab tests on 76 college students, aged 18 to 21, to evaluate how social interactions and intellectual exercises affected the results of memory and mental performance tests.The students were divided into three groups: the social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10 minutes bef the intellectual activities group completed three tasks (including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle) and a control group (对照组) watched a 10-minute clip (电源片段) of the Seinfeld television show. "We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10 minutes improved participants’ intellectual performance as much as engaging in so-called ’intellectual’ activities for the same amount of time," Ybarra said. The study was expected to be published in the February issue of the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.1.The underlined word "boosting" in the second paragraph can be replaced by ______.A.improvingB.decreasingC.preventingD.training2.Which is not included in social interaction?A.Having a talk with a neighbor.B.Attending a birthday party.C.Watching TV at home alone.D.Calling your classmates3.What’s the purpose of the experiment on 76 college students?A.To judge the effect of social interaction on memory and intelligence.B.To find out what is real social interaction.C.To learn how much time is needed for social interaction.D.To show the function of people’s cognition.4.Which of the following questions may be asked in the social interaction group in the experiment?A.What does the author want to show us?B.Do you like living in a big city or a small one?C.Which word can be used to fill in the blank?D.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?5.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Intellectual exercises improve memory.B.Different people have different ways of communicationC.Communicating with others keeps you healthy.D.Social interaction makes you smart

Ways to Burn More CaloriesRun through waterRunning in water is one of the toughest activities you can perform because the wet stuff is about 12 to 15 times as resistant (具有阻力的) as air. Try your hardest to run and you can burn about 17 calories per minute.Start fast Don’t be fooled — slow and steady won’t win the race. A recent study found that after a short warm-up, cyclists who rode hard during the first half of their workouts and then slowed for the second half burned about 10 percent more calories than those who started slow and finished fast.Take to the sand Here is some easy-to-remember advice on burning calories: the softer the surface, the more you burn. By walking or running on the beach, you can use up 20 to 50 percent more calories than you do going at the same pace on a hard trail.Shut up and danceHere’s the perfect excuse to sign up for that hip-hop dance class you’ve been eager to try. Surprising your body with new activities — dance, a new sport, you name it — forces it to work harder because it’s doing unfamiliar movements and using muscle groups in different ways.Use your armsGetting both your upper and lower body involved can provide a big calorie-burning advantage. So if you’re short of time or want to get everything you can out of your usual 45-minute workout, try total-body activities such as rowing ormming. You can evenng your arms as hard as you can while you walk.1.How can water help you burn more calories?

据魔方格专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解。 Steve Jobs made technology fun.The co-founder of..”主要考查你对&&人物传记类阅读&&等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：
现在没空？点击收藏，以后再看。
因为篇幅有限，只列出部分考点，详细请访问。
人物传记类阅读
人物传记类文章的文体特征：
人物传记是记叙文体的一种，主要描写某人的生平事迹、趣闻轶事、生活背景、个性特征、成长奋斗历程等，包含记叙文的时间、地点、人物、事件等要素。其特点是以时间的先后或事件的发展为主线，空间或逻辑线索贯穿文章始终，脉络清楚，可读性较强。 人物传记类文章的阅读策略和解题技巧：
1、把握文体特征，注意写作手法如前文所述，人物传记是记叙文体的一种，因此在阅读时要把握好时间、地点、人物和事件这四大要素。其次，还应该注意人物传记类文章的结构多按时间顺序排列，一般采用倒叙的写作手法，有时也采用插叙和补叙等手段。弄清楚人物传记类文章的特征和写作手法，能帮助考生在阅读和回答问题时做到高效省时、准确无误。 2、抓住题干关键词，采用寻读的方法查找细节描述事实细节题是人物传记类文章的主要题型，一般常见以下几种类型： (1)对号入座题：这种题的答案一般在原文中可以直接找到，只要读懂文章，掌握文章中的事实，如时间、地点、事件等细节问题，就能选对正确答案。 (2)词义转换题：这种题常常是原文有关词语和句子的转换，而不能在原文中直接找到。它要求考生能理解原文中某个短语或句子的含义，从而找到与答案意思相同的词语和句子。 (3)是非题：该题型俗称“三缺一”题型，即题目四个选项中有三个符合文章内容，剩下一个不符合。题干多为：Which of the following isTRUE?或者三个不符合文章内容，剩下一个符合，题干多为：Which of the following…isNOTtrue?或All the following are true EXCEPT(4)排序题：这种题要求考生根据动作发生的先后顺序和句子之间的逻辑关系，找出事件发生的正确顺序。可采用“首尾定位法”，即先找出第一个动作和最后一个动作，迅速缩小选择范围，从而快速选出正确答案。 (5)指代理解题：一般是在人物或事物关系比较复杂的情况下使用的一种题型，所以理清人物及事物之间的逻辑关系是关键所在。可采用“逻辑关系梳理法”，使人物或事件关系清晰条理。不管题型如何，在做事实细节题时，可采用比较实用的方法一有目的的阅读。在阅读时，首先看题目要求我们理解什么细节，找出关键词，然后以此为线索，运用寻读的技巧迅速在文章里找出相应的段落、句子或短语。认真比较选项和文中细节的区别，在正确理解细节的前提下，确定最佳答案。这样一来，既提高了阅读的速度，又能确保答案的准确率。同时，建议阅读文章时把与答案相符的句子或短语用红线标示出来，标号注上是哪一题答案的相关句子，这样在检查时就不必重新阅读整篇文章了。 3、抽丝剥茧，推理判断深层含义推理判断题主要提问那些未曾在文中说明，但已特别暗示的内容，考查考生对文章的准确理解和判断。人物传记类文章常见的推理判断题型为： (1)细节推断题：要求考生根据语篇关系，推断具体细节，如时间、地点、人物关系、人物身份、事件等。一般可根据短文提供的信息，或者借助生活常识进行推理判断。 (2)因果推断题：要求考生根据已知结果推测导致结果的可能原因。考生要准确掌握文章的内涵，理解文章的真正含义。 (3)人物性格、作者态度及观点判断题：人物传记类文章中有些是考查考生对作者的主导思想、被描写人物的语气、言语中流露的情绪、性格倾向和作者或文中人物态度、观点等方面的理解题。推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上做出一定推论和判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。解答此类题时，要注意： (1)吃透文章的字面意思，从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索，这是推理的前提和基础。 (2)对文字的表面信息进俐宅掘加工，由表及里，由浅入深。从具体到抽象，从特殊到一般，通过分析、综合、判断等进行符合逻辑的推理。不能就事论事，断章取义，以偏概全。 (3)基于文章内容，以文章提供的事实和线索为依据，立足已知，推断未知。不能主观臆想，凭空想象，随意揣测，更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点。 (4)把握句、段之间的逻辑关系，了解语篇的结构。要体会文章的基调，揣摸作者的态度，摸准逻辑发展的方向，悟出作者的弦外之音。 (5)注意文中所用词句的感情色彩，是讽刺性的，批评性的，赞成性的，还是反对性的，以便推测作者的观点和态度。

you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say
that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you
probably don’t think of it as being a health
or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show
that something like anger can change your well-being.
When cartoon book characters like
the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special
power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford
Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to
anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem
to show the same idea.
The studies find that people who
are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They
also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on
sleeping.
So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other
things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or
thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s
worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.
Forgiveness does not mean that
you simply accept what happened and say it’s
OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with
yourself about what happened in the past.
1.The example of the cartoon book characters
is taken in the passage to______.
&& A. support the
viewpoint that anger and hatred harm physical and mental health
&& B. introduce a
famous expert
&& C. let the reader
know the different colours of cartoon faces
&& D. show how to
control one’s temper
2.The underlined phrase“holding on to”in this passage possibly means“______”.
&& A.
removing&&& B. keeping up&&& C. getting rid
of&&& D. learning about
3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in
this passage?
&& A. People who are
able to forgive feel less stress.
B. People who are able to forgive
feel less depression.
C. People who are able to forgive
have fewer problems on sleeping.
D. People who are able to forgive
