文章大意:本文为一篇说明文,介绍了拳击运动受欢迎的原因及它带来的危险性,作者并不支持这项激烈的运动。

1 . What I Think of Boxing as a Sport

Boxing is a popular sport. Newspapers, magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently cover boxing matches. It could be the toughest of all sports to survive. It takes boxers hours in the gym and years to develop the specific characteristics needed to be a great boxer.     1    .

It seems to me that some people, especially men, find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer. This gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves.     2     They do that because the boxer comes from their own country, and if “their” boxer loses, they often feel as if they have lost a fight themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives. Watching a boxing match gives them a way of expressing it.

    3     Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, a kind of strong hard hat, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences.Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring. Besides, studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing. They are usually in the form of serious brain damage, even if a boxer has never been knocked out.

To conclude, I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing.     4     We can celebrate more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.

A.However, boxing can be a very dangerous sport.
B.Sometimes fans are rooting for a particular boxer.
C.In boxing, fighters are required to hit a moving target.
D.Many fans are drawn to the sport because they love the competition.
E.Perhaps that is the reason why successful boxers are treated as big heroes.
F.I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV.

文章大意:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍童年时期接触的媒体在塑造孩子的未来方面的影响。

2 . Childhood Media Shaping Futures

Much of the media we consume during our formative years shapes us into the people we are today. Reflect on a particular piece of media from our childhood—perhaps it’s the TV show we eagerly awaited every weekend during visits to our grandmother’s house.     1     It shapes our dreams and fears and even drives us to future careers.

    2     Older children may have had a lot more restrictions, like TV shows, movies, and social media access. And because of these, they were able to be a child for longer compared to their siblings (兄弟姐妹). Children who have older siblings tend to show more mature tendencies and can appear to “grow up quicker” than other children their age.

While they might have been restricted from social media accounts until a certain age, once given access, they tend to be more prepared. The media exposure of our generation has undoubtedly led to an increased maturation at younger ages.     3    

Simply looking back at previous generations and the rate of consumption and processing of information that we experience every day, the effects of such are only beginning. As soon-to-be or current adults, we are already facing issues such as depression, anxiety, and delays in certain learning and social skills, just to name a few. Are we “more mature?” or are we overexposed and at risk for exceptional mental, physical, and emotional consequences?

In conclusion, childhood media consumption significantly influences our lives.     4     Striking a balance between media exposure and mental well-being is essential for our growth in today’s media-rich world.

A.Such media doesn’t just entertain.
B.You can easily pick out the differences among your siblings.
C.As we journey through adulthood, it’s crucial to reflect on its impact.
D.Media exposure during childhood impacts each child in distinct ways.
E.Additionally, media have proven to have long-term effects on individuals.
F.However, our mental and physical states may not be adequately equipped to handle it.

文章大意:本文为一篇说明文,介绍了人们关注饮用水健康,瓶装水开始流行起来,而给自来水装过滤系统也是一个好的选择。

3 . Water is a key ingredients in a healthy diet and lifestyle.There are many health benefits of drinking water. It helps flush impurities and toxins out of our systems.     1     In fact, nearly every system in our bodies relies on water for proper functioning. But what will happen if the water you drink every day is unhealthy?

In past decades, concerns about tap water and its impact on overall health led some people to tun to bottled waters. You could pay to have a company deliver large bulky plastic bottles of water for the water cooler. Or you could purchase gallon jugs of distilled or “drinking water” at the grocery store.

In recent years, there has been an explosion in the number of different bottled waters available, with big distributors such as Coke and Pepsi jumping on the bandwagon. But are bottled   drinking waters like Coke’s Dasani brand, Pepsi’s Aquafina, or Wal-Mart’s store brand really any healthier than your tap water?     2    

As we have learned more about the water we drink,the technology behind drinking water filters and purification systems has improved dramatically. There are filters to remove impurities, chemicals,heavy metals, bacteria and almost every contaminant you can think of.With the right size and filter combination for your specific home, your tap water can be exceptionally pure and healthy.

    3     Although the initial cost of a whole house system usually amounts to several hundred dollars,that cost is often less than $100 a year if spread out over the life of the system.

There may be additional expenses to replace carbon filters or lamps in an ultraviolet light water treatment device. These expenses can add another $100 or so to the annual cost of operating drinking water filters and purification systems.

While some people may hesitate to spend so much each year for clean, safe drinking water, they are probably paying more for bottled drinking water. They understand that it is more expensive, but they are still willing to pay the extra money because bottled water is thought to be safer and healthier than filtered drinking water.     4     In reality, however, few bottled waters come from natural springs,and most of them use municipal tap water.

A.Drinking water filtration systems have also become more affordable and easy to use.
B.After all, bottled water is often marketed as “natural spring water” or “pure glacier water.”
C.It aids in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients.
D.And with a water filter, you at least know where the water you drink came from.
E.Or would you be better off with a drinking water filtration system?
F.So how do you tell if the water you are drinking is safe?

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了如何为自己和自己的行为负责。

4 . Taking responsibility for yourself and your actions is an important part of personal growth. It’s never too late to start practicing the positive habit of accepting responsibility for yourself.     1    

Improve your confidence.     2     If you can’t think of any, ask loved ones to help. You can also write down your goals, create a plan for achieving them and learn to accept positive feedback.

Remove the excuses. To break the harmful habit of excuse-making, ensure you’re honestly acknowledging what really happened. Next time you’re faced with the negative result of a situation, ensure you say something like “Sorry, I messed it up. How can I make up for it?”     3    

Take positive actions. If you want your family and friends to show more interest in your life, get interested in theirs. If you want a more satisfying job, figure out what you need to do to achieve it. Your actions will affect what you get out of life, so ensure you’re acting in a way you get what you want.

    4     If you often see yourself as a powerless man, this might be because you are experiencing hardships in your own life. And this feeling will be strengthened by the way you communicate with yourself and others. So look out for passive, self-destroying thoughts like “Why is this happening to me?” and learn to take responsibility.

A.How can I be more powerful?
B.Change your thought patterns.
C.Realize who you are as a person.
D.No matter how old you are, you can easily begin today.
E.Don’t worry-—your honesty will earn you respect from others.
F.Spend some time reflecting on your strengths and how to use them.

文章大意:本是一篇说明文。主要介绍了幼儿早教在儿童的学习和发展方面产生显著的收益,但是也要注重幼儿教育效果和质量。

5 . Early Childhood Education

Early childhood education is the formal teaching and care of young children. It primarily focuses on learning through playing to encourage children’s different kinds of development.     1    

Studies with Head Start programs throughout the United States have shown some evidence that there are quite a few advantages to early childhood education, which can produce significant gains in children’s learning and development. Compared with a child who does not attend pre-school, children completing their early education programs are found to be better at math and reading skills. They are excited to learn and have the tools to do so.     2     These children are more competent in their pre-school, kindergarten and school-age years, and they are usually reported as “friendlier” by parents and the children’s peers.

    3     In studies with matched control groups, more students who had early schooling experiences were employed at the age of 19, fewer were on welfare, and fewer were involved with the criminal activity. What’s more, some studies show that children attending pre-school are more likely to graduate and have higher education, and be well integrated as an adult.

Early childhood education gives most children a jump-start on education for their kindergarten and primary school years. It is clear that early childhood education do a lot of good to children.     4     If early childhood education is less effective, perhaps the best model is finding strategies for allowing a parent to stay home with his or her child for at least the first two to three years. Also important is considering a child’s own personality. Individual differences in children mean that not all children will get equal benefits from early childhood education.

A.The long-term influence of early education is significant as well.
B.They can benefit greatly from encouragement in their early childhood.
C.Yet its quality must be assessed to see what kind of benefits it actually provides.
D.They are also able to relate to others in a superior way and that improves their social skills.
E.Many experts of education, however, are concerned about what early childhood education means today.
F.It consists of activities that serve children in the pre-school years and is designed to improve later school performance.

6 . Do you ever find yourself studying really hard for a test but ultimately not doing so well? You spent hours reviewing your notes, only to receive a grade that doesn’t reflect your hard work.     1    Below are a couple of active studying methods that I found worked best for me.

Method #1: Try explaining the concepts/theories that you’re studying to family members or friends. If you can explain it to them to a point where they can understand it, then that means you understand it.

Method #2:     2    This helps our brain with classifying information. If you can fill up a table, that means you know enough about them. Understanding their similarities and differences will also be helpful for a test.

Method #3: Study with friends. If you’re able to stay focused, studying with a group might be more fun and motivating than studying alone.     3    Pick potential test topics and hold discussions to gain insight into different ways of thinking about a problem.

Method #4: This one shouldn’t be much of a surprise - flashcards. Flashcards are a great way to memorize important material! To make it more fun, write your flashcards using colorful pens and highlight important parts.

    4    Studying can be boring, but finding ways to make it more fun can really help you do well on your tests. So don’t lose motivation - you’ve got this!

A.It also often shows you that you know more of the material than you think.
B.Try using some of these methods when you study for your next test, and see if you’ve improved.
C.It’s not that you’re not smart - it’s just that you’re studying the wrong way.
D.Identify what to compare and make sure it ties to the important content to be learned.
E.Create compare-and-contrast tables for different concepts/theories.
F.It’s also great to hear other people’s thoughts on the course material in case there’s anything you missed or misinterpreted.

文章大意:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍要让残疾人的生活更轻松的方法。

7 . Ensuring that disabled people have an easy life is very important, not just because they are human, like all of us, but because their dignity and social well-being should not be ignored just because of a disability. Disabilities can occur through illness, aging, accidents and other different causes that may happen to anyone or affect us all at some stage in life.     1    .

We are all human beings and so have the same basic needs. But we should remember that there is a wide range of what we call a disability, and while the basic needs are all the same for everyone, the different lifestyle needs are entirely individual. Therefore, there is no one-size-fits-all method to improve quality of life. It is best to find out people’s needs from spending time with them.

    2    . Even the most attractive homes can feel like a cage, so it makes a huge difference to be able to go out to a park or a shopping center, or to plan a day trip such as a picnic or a trip to the beach. Even if a trip can only be organized one day a month, it is more than nothing and does really make a difference.

If they are interested or able, pets can be great companions.     3    . Some may be able to take care of a cat or dog; some prefer goldfish or birds in a cage. Very often, people who are cared for don’t feel that they have the chance to care for someone or something else, so caring for pets can improve their confidence and mental health, which can take their mind off their own troubles.

    4    . Book a regular appointment with a social worker to visit them at least once a month. This is to check on their mental and physical health as well as ways of improving their living conditions. It is important because they may need to talk to someone.

A.Plan regular trips.
B.Stay with them in a friend way.
C.It is wise to check the abilities of the individuals.
D.You won’t know if they can help if you don’t ask them.
E.Do not let pets be their only companions.
F.The great thing is that it is not hard to make disabled people’s life easier.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了创造一个良好的学习环境的方法。

9 . Creating a good study environment takes a little planning. It is well worth the time as the end result will be much productive study time. Many people fail to do this and wonder why they cannot concentrate. After a couple of times of studying the right way most people will be surprised at how much they can actually enjoy studying.     1    

Know that concentration is the key. Reduce every possible distraction. Turn off the television and go in an area where you will not be interrupted by people.     2    If you are studying on your computer—don't get distracted by emails.

Find a place that is proper to read. If it is too dim, your eyes will be strained and leave you tired and wanting to close your eyes. The sun is a light that naturally wakes you up and helps you think.

Choose a comfortable seat.     3    Now a couch can work just fine for this as long as you don't find yourself laying flat after a few minutes. The whole point of studying is to be able to concentrate on the study matter.

    4    Now this is for the person who needs the background noise. If you find yourself thinking about the song then maybe silence is better for you.

Keep something to drink and snack on close by to keep your blood sugar stable. Obviously sugary food will give you a quick rush but you will also have a quick low afterward.

A.Learn more to make study environment different.
B.Turn on some music.
C.If you can, turn off your cell phone.
D.It should have a good back support and a good seat.
E.Some people can study with lots of activities going on.
F.Read on to learn how to create a good study environment.

10 . Make Your Brain Smarter

You know that eating sensible diet and getting plenty of exercise help make your body healthy and strong. But did you know that there are ways to make your brain healthier and smarter? Studies show that when the brain is forced to do something new, it creates new neural pathways.     1    

Limit Your TV Viewing

Watching an average TV show requires very little brain power and brings the same result as neglecting physical exercise.     2     If you watch TV informative, choose something educational and informative.

Use Your Non-dominant (不占优势的) Hand

If you are right-handed, use your left hand for everyday activities, or use your right hand if you are left-handed. Doing familiar things in a new way will cause your brain to create new neural networks. Brushing our teeth is something most of us do daily. We really don’t put that much thought into it -- but maybe we should. Experts suggest that we can stimulate this right brain by changing things up and working with our non-dominant hand. So the next time you brush your teeth, open the tube, apply your toothpaste and brush with the opposite hand.

Shower with Your Eyes Closed

    3     Even if you drop the soap -- that’s okay. Use your different senses. Searching for the soap or shampoaing while feeling the textures with your eyes closed works your brain and helps make you smarter. Using your fingers to make fine distinctions between objects or textures can rewire the brain areas involved in touch, suggests Larry katz, a professor of neurobiology at Duke University Medical Centre and author. This has been true for brain-imaging experiments with blind Braille readers and monkeys trained to use their fingers to get food.

    4    

Can playing “Chopsticks” on the piano make you smarter? Well, according to a study published in The Journal of Neuroscience, it can. Kids who received at least three years of instrumental music training outperformed children without training in fine motor skills (精细运动技能), vocabulary and non-verbal- reasoning skills. Apparently, people who are better able to move to a beat show more consistent brain responses to speech than those with less rhythm. The study findings suggest that musical training might sharpen the brain’s response to language -- making you a little smarter.

A.Learn a New Language
B.Move to the Beat of Your Own Drum
C.Your brain will become weak just as your muscles do.
D.Walking for exercise requires little time and brings the same result as running.
E.Hop in the shower and shut your eyes.
F.The more pathways you have, the faster you can think and the better memory you will have.
