A swing (秋千) could be important for learning, according to one girls’ school. At Brighton Girls, a private school for children     1     (age) 4-18, a swing is to be installed in the sixth-form study center after some of the teenagers asked for one.

After some research, the headmistress, Rosie McColl, said she discovered a swing would be     2     (benefit). She said, “I knew     3     student in a previous school who used to go out and swing in a park between lessons.     4     (current), what we are doing is bringing the swing into the school     5     (help) build a culture. This leads to better results     6     students in terms of both their wellbeing and academic achievement.”

Recent studies show physical activity can improve brain function as well as calming the mind and body, at a time when     7     (anxious) among teenagers is at record levels. So far, McColl’s decision     8     (support) by parents, including Sam Cartwright-Hatton, a psychologist at Sussex University,     9     wrote a letter to the government before schools returned in September calling for new, more creative lessons to help children settle back into class.

McColl advises students     10     (prepare) for exams over the Christmas holiday to find a swing in a local park between revision classes. “No one is ever too old to go on the swings, to play, to think and to dream,” she said.

8 . It's the start of a new year, when your fitness goals are set and you engage in the challenge.     1     Their standards of “too big” are not even achievable in their lifetime, let alone a few months of training, which brings my tips.

Set realistic goals! The process of building muscle is an absolutely slow one that requires strong will to gain. Consistently causing protein synthesis （合成）in specific muscle fibers will allow muscle to develop. However, all individuals are not equal in the process.    2     Gaining muscle will happen quickly to a new gym-goer, but take a long time for someone that has been training for years.

Stick to specific training for the goals you set to achieve.     3    This will require you to restrict the diet, and it will prevent you gaining muscle. Diet reflects the training load. The training reflects your goals. It's like swimming upstream, think strong, fast and flexible. If you are running a marathon, the goals are different and train accordingly!

    4     Fat has taken some time to develop, so it will not be lost overnight. Allow the hormonal triggers （生理诱因）in the body to work more efficiently to regulate volume of food. Taking out additional sugars is one of the most important steps to regulate volumes of food to switch off desire for food.

Once a goal is reached, do not go back to what you did before. When people finish their transformation, the hormone profile is very weak to fat deposition （沉积）。Every training session should be a step toward a lasting transformation, with a diet improving the level of exercise.     5    

A．Don't try to achieve too much at once.

B．Why do so few people see their goals through?

C．Give yourself a realistic timeline when it comes to fat loss.

D．Keeping running slowly leads to very big changes over time.

E．Appreciate that you are taking time for your own development.

F．Place restrictions on your diet and follow good food eating patterns.

G．Also, it depends on how long you have been training to achieve muscle growth.

9 . This is Ella Stevens who, at just 13 years old, is fighting for a chance to drive for the most famous team in Formula One-Ferrari(法拉利一级方程式赛车).

This fall Stevens faces a series of challenges, on and off track at the Paul Ricard circuit in France, with the ultimate prize a place on the famous Ferrari Driver Academy as its first female racer. “It’s a very good opportunity for me,” Ella, already a British karting champion, tells CNN. “We have to do a few fitness tests in the first phase so that they can see our driving.”

The Academy is, in fact, a breeding ground for future racing stars. Its current crop includes Mick Schumacher, the son of legendary Ferrari driver Michael, Enzo Fittipaldi, whose grandfather Emerson was a double F1 world champion, as well as Arthur Leclerc, the younger brother of Ferrari’s current FI racer Charles.

On the face of it, it’s no place for a 13-year-old girl from a small village in England—who already has a mountain to climb as a female in a sport still dominated by males. After all, a female has not raced in Fl for more than 40 years, and just six women have taken part in a grand prix(大奖赛)weekend.

But Stevens is being supported by a popular figure in the F1 community, Rob Smediey. He worked as a Ferrari engineer for more than a decade and is now teaching Stevens through his own Electroheads Talent Academy.

Smediey describes Ferrari’s search for a potential female racer as a “huge step”. “Having a major player in the sport, with such a rich history as Ferrari, leading on this has to be applauded”, he tells CNN. “It’s absolutely amazing that they want to do this and they’re taking positive action to increase the gender diversity within the sport.”

1. What will Ella win after fighting off a series of challenges?

A．She’ll become a karting champion.

B．She’ll have to pass a few fitness tests.

C．She’ll drive for Formula One-Ferrari.

D．She’ll become the first female racing champion.

2. Why is Mick Schumacher mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A．To make people believe he’s a famous racer.

B．To show how he became a F1 world champion.

C．To introduce that he was once a double FI world champion.

D．To prove Ferrari Driver Academy is home to the promising racers.

3. The underlined word “dominated” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

A．won

B．placed

C．ruled

D．grasped

4. What’s the best title of the text?

A．Ella Stevens: the first female racer

B．Ella Stevens: a promising racing star

C．Formula One-Ferrari: the world top race

D．Formula One-Ferrari: a race without female

10 . How often does the man work out now?

A．Once a week.

B．Twice a week.

C．Every other day.
