     If you have ever been rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport. In fact, you probably felt quite defeated when you first tried to do any serious climbing. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing are
both extremely demanding and require practice to get good at. It is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports.
     There are three basic types of rock climbing. Top roping is the most common type and the climber
need to climb with a partner. The second type, which is very similar to top roping, is called lead climbing.
In both of the types, the climber can sit off the wall and rest on the rope. The third type is called
bouldering. Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any ropes. This is the most demanding of all
climbing types. The climber must be able to complete the climbing without taking a rest on the rope.
     Believe it or not, climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms. To climb efficiently and
successfully, a person needs to have a wonderful technique. One of the major rules of rock climbing is to
always have three points touching the wall, whether it is both feet and one hand, or one foot and both
hands, as it is much easier to have your weight rest on three points than on two. Another important idea to grasp is that your arms in most cases will do the climbing; they only hold you into the wall so that your
legs are actually pushing you upward. Also, the closer you are to the wall, the easier it is to climb.
     Rock climbing may sound a bit too extreme for the everyday person, but it is really an amazing
workout. Once you get into the sport, and learn how to position your body and rest your weight, then you can begin to deal with some difficult problems. The great thing about rock climbing is that it is mentally
challenging as well. You are constantly analyzing the way your body moves and how to do certain moves
on the wall. For anyone who wants to get into shape, rock climbing is a fun and effective way to exercise muscles.

举一反三

阅读理解。     There is a lot of misunderstanding about studying. Most students have not been taught the principles
behind really effective working. Imagine a graph showing the amount a person learns against the number
of hours he works in a day. If he doesn"t do any work, he learns nothing (point 0). If he does an hour"s
work he learns a certain amount (point 1). If he does two hours" work he learns about twice as much
(point 2). If he does more work he"ll learn still more (point 3). However, if he tries to do twenty-three
and a half hours" work in a day, he will be so tired that he"ll hardly remember anything: what he learns
will be very little (point 4). If he did less work he"d learn more (point 5).
     Now whatever the exact shape of the graph"s curve(曲线), made by joining these points, it must
have a high point. Point "X" is the very maximum anyone can learn in the day. And this represents the
optimum, the best, amount of work to do. It is the best possible compromise between adequate time
at the books and fatigue(劳累). Fatigue is an absolutely real thing; one can"t escape it or ignore it. If
you try to ignore it and press yourself to work past the optimum(最适度), you will only get on this
downward slope and achieve less than the best - and then become very tired and lose your power of
concentration.
      The skill in being a student consists of getting one"s daily study as near the optimum point as
possible. I cannot tell you what the optimum is. It differs with the type of work, it differs from person
to person, and even in the same person it varies from week to week. You must try to find your own.
Every day you study, bear this principle of the optimum in mind. When you feel yourself getting fatigued,
if you find yourself reading the same paragraph over and over again and not taking it in, that"s a pretty
good sign you"ve reached your highest point for the day and should stop. Most ordinary students find
their optimum at five hours a day. Yours may be a little more or a little less - but if you get in five hours"
good work a day, you will be doing well.
     Now, what are you doing with yourself when you aren"t working? Before examinations some students
do nothing at all except sit in a chair and worry. Here is another misunderstanding. People often think that
the mind works like the body; it does not. If one wanted to save one"s physical energy in order to cut the
maximum amount of firewood, one would lie flat on a bed and rest when one wasn"t chopping. But the
mind cannot rest. Even in sleep you dream, even if you forget your dreams. The mind is always turning.
It gets its relaxation only by variety. That is what makes the mind rest.
     When you"ve finished your optimum number of hours you must stop. You must not then sit around in
the chair thinking about the work - that only tires without any learning. You must get out and do something. It doesn"t matter what - anything so long as you are actively doing something else but work.1. According to the passage, _______.A. the longer you study every day, the more you will learn
B. you"ll achieve better learning results if you work three hours every day
C. the less work you do, the better you will learn
D. your work efficiency will decrease once you exceed a certain point of work2. Fatigue can result in ________.A. loss of memory
B. a need for relaxation
C. a lot of anxiety
D. loss of concentration3. The passage tells us that a person"s optimum number of working hours _______.A. follows a regular pattern with each individual
B. changes regularly from week to week
C. can be partly determined by the sort of work he is doing
D. should be determined before he gets too tired4. The only way the mind can relax is by ________.A. doing a variety of things in turn
B. not thinking about anything
C. turning continuously
D. getting oneself in a state of fatigue 5. After you have reached the optimum point of study in a day, you should ________.A. lie in bed and rest
B. do something else actively
C. do some physical labor
D. stop thinking about your studies

     If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably
not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the
morning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you don"t feel refreshed, but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day.
     Dr. Henry Winkle wrote an article in a recent newspaper, which indicates that_____________.
Dr. Winkle says, "The more we worry, the less we sleep, the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night"s sleep," he adds, "we can often find the energy to deal with what"s
worrying us."
     So, what is a good night"s sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order
to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours in about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping
longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.
     Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give
themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or
listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as
mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake. "When you put the light out," Dr. Winkle says, "concentrate on relaxing your
muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and you"ll be asleep before you know it."

阅读理解。     Please help! I live in Germany with my wife and three kids. My parents live in the UK. I want my kids
to contact with their grandparents often. The kids all use e-mail, Skype and SMS but my parents won’t. I’ve bought them a laptop, paid for broadband(宽带), given them both mobile phones and a digital
camera, but they won’t use them. My parents say they hate computers and new technology. What can I do with these “technophobes”?
                                                                                                              Daniel, Buremburg, Germany
     Actually, the original technophobes were the Luddites, a group of cloth workers in 19th century Britain during the Industrial Revolution. The Luddite cloth workers, who traditionally made cloth by hand, were
worried that machines were going to take away their jobs and way of life. These machines could make
cloth much faster and cheaper than humans. In 1811 and 1812 the Luddites destroyed the machines, but
the British government supported the factory owners. Many Luddites were arrested. Charlotte Bronte’s
novel Shirley will tell your parents all about it.
                                                                                                                         Laura, Valencia, Spain
     Laura makes some interesting points, I think. Technophobes has been a common theme in science
fiction. Frankenstein, one of the first science fiction, is a warning of what could happen if humans began to experiment with human life.
                                                                                                             Freda, Copenhagen, Denmark
     One thing you could try is to find hardware that is designed for older people to use. An example is the mobiles made by the US company, Jitterbug. Instead of icons（图标) and menus the Jitterbug phones ask users simple “yes/no” questions and have larger keypads. The company realized that there are potentially 100 million older users in the US alone.
                                                                                                                      Graham, Patras, Greece
1. The underlined part “the technophobes” in the passage refers to ______.
A. those who are ready to try new technology
B. those who are addicted to the Internet
C. those who refuse to use modern technology
D. those who are devoted to inventing new things
2. Which of the following is TRUE of the Luddites?
A. They called themselves the technophobes.
B. They got full support from their factory owners.
C. They preferred to keep their traditional working methods.
D. They were killed by the government.
3. Who has put forward a practical and useful suggestions?
A. Laura.
B. Freda.
C. Daniel.
D. Graham.
4. The passage is probably taken from _____.
A. a personal blog
B. a letter between friends
C. a personal diary
D. a speech on new technology
5. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Daniel would buy her parents a novel written by Shirley.
B. Charlotte Bronte wrote about technophobes in her novel Shirley.
C. Daniel would buy her parents cell phones with icons and menus.
D. Daniel worried about her children using e-mails.

     Health experts have discovered that adding low-calorie vegetable soup to the start of a meal can
actually help to lose weight.
     Because you tend to feel full sooner, you eat less of your main course.
     The soup regime was tested by researchers at Pennsylvania State University, led by Dr Barbara Rolls.
     They found that when participants in the study ate a first course of soup before lunch they reduced their total calorie intake by 20 per cent, compared with those who did not begin the meal with soup.
     But those who favour creamy soups should be careful. Researchers stressed the soup must be
low-calorie and based on stock(菜汤), not cream.
     All of the soups tested in the study were made from identical ingredients - chicken stock , broccoli
(硬花甘蓝), potato, cauliflower(菜花)and carrots.
     They were mixed together to create four different textures and thickness from separate stock and
vegetables through to pureed soup.
     Scientists thought that thick soups with chunks of vegetables which required chewing might be more
filling, but to their surprise they found all forms had the same effect.
     The findings were presented to the Experimental Biology conference in Washington, DC, and the
research was part-funded by the National Institutes of Health.
1. What"s the reason that adding low-calorie vegetable soup to the start of a meal can actually help to
lose weight?
A. you can take in large quantities of vegetables.
B. you can absorb high calories from the soup.
C. you can take in low calories from the soup.
D. you can feel full soon after having the soup.
2. Which of the following can not be in the low-calorie soup?
A. chicken stock.
B. cauliflower.
C. cream.
D. carrots.
3. What"s the general idea of the seventh paragraph?
A. What is contained in the soup.
B. How the soup is made.
C. Whom the soup is suitable to.
D. where the soup is stored.
4. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Vegetable Soup Helps to Lose Weight.
B. A Scientific Research is Carrying out.
C. A Research did at Pennsylvania State University
D. Findings were carried out to the Experimental Biology.
5. The underlined word "favour" is the same in meaning with ______.
A. hate.
B. enjoy.
