9 . 阅读下面材料，根据内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My dream comes true

The rain had started to fall gently through the evening air as darkness fell over Sydney. The noise was deafening. As I walked towards the track, I glanced around me at the sea of faces in the stands, but mind was focused. The Olympic gold medal was just minutes away, hanging tantalizingly (引诱人地) in the distance.

My heart was beating loudly. I was so close to the realization of my childhood dream and the feeling was fantastic. I knew I would have to push myself beyond my known limits to ensure that my dream came true.

I tried to keep my head, telling myself not to panic, to stick to the plan and run my own race. I knew the Russian girls would set off quickly-and I had to finish this race fewer than ten seconds behind the Russian athlete Yelena Prokhorova. If I could do that, the title would be mine. I looked out along the first stretch of the 400 m track and caught my breath.

My ankle was bandaged against an injury in the long jump just a couple of hours earlier, but I shut out all thoughts of pain.

The starting gun was fired, and the race began. The first lap was good, and I managed to keep up with the group, but I was feeling much more tired than I usually did, and much more than I’d imagined. Both the long, hard weeks of training that had led up to this championship, and the exhaustion from two days of fierce competition were showing in my performance. Mental and physical tiredness were starting to over- come me, and I had to fight back.

Prokhorova had set the pace from the start. It was important that I didn’t let her get too far in front. I had to stay with her. At the bell I was 2.3 seconds behind her. Just one lap to go. One lap. I could do it. I had to keep going. I could see the gap opening between me and the Russian. Thankfully, my foot was holding out, so now it was all down to mental stamina (耐力).

注意：
1. 续写词数应为150 左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Prokhorova was pulling away.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Then, the moment that will stay with me for the rest of my life—my name in lights.

10 . One reason disorganization is so often tied to mental health is that it can have a negative impact on the way we see ourselves and the lives we lead. The studied downsides of living in a disorganized environment include a memory impediment (障碍), poor eating habits, and an increased chance of developing mood disorders. There’s also a link between the stress hormone and living in a disorganized space and disorganization can lead to anxiety disorders.

Nearly every mental health downside that comes from disorganization can be improved by getting organized. You’ll feel less exhaustion, enhance your productivity at the office, and greatly improve the quality of your life if you can learn how to become organized.

Though many people recognize and desire the mental and physical health benefits that come from becoming more organized, some don’t know where to begin.

“I advise starting small,” says Natalie Christine Dattilo, a psychologist. “It’s easy to become overwhelmed if you try to tackle an entire room, so you can set yourself up for success by starting with a single drawer, bookshelf, or kitchen closet.” She also suggests making organization more enjoyable by listening to music or an audio-book while you’re at it and “spending time in your newly organized space to let yourself enjoy it.”

When it comes to the process of organizing, Julie Morgenstern, a professional organizer, advises sorting items into categories such as keep, throw, and relocate. She suggests having a place for every item you want to keep, removing items you won’t use, and storing elsewhere seasonal items o decoration you don’t need to access often.

It’s also important to remember that becoming organized includes digital organizing as well. Unsubscribe from things you don’t read, delete emails, make a new folder and move just a few emails or documents a day. Just giving yourself five minutes a day to get organized will get a lot done over the course of a few weeks and will help build habits to stay organized.

1. What effect may disorganization have on us according to paragraph 1?

A．Training our memory.	B．Causing digestive disorders.
C．Relieving anxiety and exhaustion.	D．Increasing chances of adjusting our mood.

2. What should we do to get organized?

A．Start by cleaning the kitchen.	B．Thoroughly clean the entire house.
C．Begin with cleaning up a little item.	D．Listen to the music before you clean up.

3. What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us?

A．Where to put our items.	B．When to organize our items.
C．How to organize our items.	D．What to do to store our items.

4. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Tidying up digital areas is necessary.	B．People use electronic products too much.
C．Digital technology can help us save time.	D．Emails and documents are hard to organize.
