As a student, I have taken a great many of exams. Whether I have been good prepared or not, I will keep calm and confidently. That is because I know the purpose of exams is to find out the knowledges we can’t understand. Therefore, there was a time when I was afraid of exams. I was afraid that I couldn’t get high marks or fail the exam, I would be laughed at by others. Later, my teacher, she realized my problem, had the face-to-face talk with me. After I followed the advice giving by my teacher I finally overcame my fear.

Any woman can be strong. I don t just mean strong in mental aspect. 1. You may think that strong women are born, not made. You may be thinking of Olympic weightlifters lifting dozens of kilos over their heads, or of bodybuilders posing.
2. It is a requirement for everyday life. Strength is what you need if you carry your luggage. You need to be strong to pick your child up off the floor. And, most of all-especially as you get older-you need strength simply to stand up without falling over.
As we age, we progressively lose muscle mass, which can make us weaker.3. We might have trouble going up and down steps, picking up something heavy, even standing up from a seat. But while ageing is unavoidable, building muscle through strength training is meaningful.
A programme that is becoming more and more commonly used is Starting Strength. The basic Starting Strength programme consists of four different lifts. Trainees learn these lifts step by step.4. Three times a week they perform three of the lifts. If they are successful in a period, they then add 2.25kg in the next period.
But barbell (杠铃) lifting doesn’t just offer physical strength; it also gives women emotional and mental confidence.5.
A. But strength is not just about appearances.
B. I mean simply being able to fight against gravity.
C. Being strong doesn’t mean having a stony heart, either.
D. However, this condition can be improved by working out.
E. Most people begin to learn the lifts using an empty bar weighing 20kg.
F. In daily life, the actions we take for granted become more and more difficult.
G. However you feel about your body, you can become the strongest version of yourself.
Ever wondered whether punishment actually makes people cooperate (合作)? A team of scientists created an experiment to figure it out and the results were pretty unexpected.
To understand what they found, you have to know why these scientists were studying punishment. They were trying to figure out why people cooperate when it’s often so easy to profit at others expense. Why don’t friends steal from each other? Why do parents bother to feed their children? If the answer to these questions is obvious to you, congratulations, you are ahead of scientists. They’re still trying to figure it out.
In this experiment, researchers had 225 Chinese students play a game, where if the students cooperated, they’d all get a number of points. But if one defected (变节) and everyone else cooperated, the defector would get a lot of points, and the cooperators would lose out. This game represents a lot of real life situations where you struggle with a decision: work together and do OK, or run off with the rewards, ruining everybody else’s day.
This is actually a pretty ordinary economic experiment. But the researchers added two changes to see if they could mimic(糢拟〉the real world better. Change one: some students played many rounds together, so they’d learn who they could trust. Change two: people could punish each other, sacrificing a point or two to destroy another player’s score.
In the end, the researchers found that playing multiple rounds made people cooperate more, which definitely mimics human society. But the whole punishment thing led to a surprise: punishing didn’t actually make people cooperate more. In fact, it made them cooperate less.
So the scientists still don’t know why people cooperate, though it looks like it has more to do with groups sticking together than it does with punishment.
1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Why friends don’t steal from each other.
B. Why researchers are studying punishment.
C. Why people always profit at others’ expense.
D. Why people cooperate rather than take advantage of others.
2.What happened to a defector in the experiment?
A. He lost out. B. He benefited more.
C. He got punished. D. He became the leader.
3.What conclusion is drawn from the experiment?
A. Punishing helps people realize their mistakes.
B. Cooperating is a win-win policy to all.
C. Punishment won’t work as expected.
D. People who choose to cooperate are selfless.
4.What might be the best title for the text?
A. Does punishing people actually work?
B. Why is punishment applied to cooperation?
C. How can punishment contribute to cooperation?
D. What is the best way to make punishment effective?
Japan has long been known for both its strong traditions and being on the cutting edge of technology, and this new inn combining the classic Japanese surroundings with high-tech slippers and furniture is a perfect reflection of this.
Nissan Motor Co. developed a system in which slippers park themselves at the entrance of the traditional inn, called “ProPilot Park Ryokan,” waiting for guests to use them upon arrival. When guests have finished using them, the slippers will drive themselves back to their original position. Each slipper features two tiny wheels, a motor, and sensors to drive it across the wooden floor.
The same technology features in Nissan’s all-battery electric Leaf car. High-tech sensors and cameras allow the vehicle to safely back into parking spaces without any input from the driver. Four cameras and 12 sensors assess the vehicle’s surroundings. ProPilot Park handles the accelerator, braking and steering (转向) input when the car is parking. Drivers operate the system with the press of a button, which they must hold down the entire time. Lifting a finger off the button will result in the car stopping immediately.
The inn, located in the resort town of Hakone, about 75 kilometers southwest of Tokyo, is currently most famous for its view of Mount Fuji. However, the new self-driving slippers, released by Nissan in March, is the unique feature of the high-tech inn.
“The self-parking slippers are meant to raise awareness of automated driving technologies, and their potential, non-driving applications,” Nissan spokesman Nick Maxfield said in a statement.
In addition to the slippers, office chairs, floor cushions and traditional low tables in the inn also wheel themselves back into place after use.
1.What is the typical feature of the slippers?
A. They are eco-friendly. B. They are automatic.
C. They are recyclable. D. They are rechargeable.
2.How can a driver stop the Nissan’s electric Leaf car?
A. By pressing a button. B. By using the brake of the car.
C. By removing the finger from the button. D. By handling the accelerator.
3.Why did Nissan develop the slippers according to Nick Maxfield?
A. To attract more customers.
B. To advertise the Nissan Motor Co.
C. To lessen work load of the workers.
D. To promote non-driving technologies.
4.What can we know about the inn mentioned in the text?
A. It uses robots to serve the guests.
B. It is famous for its good service.
C. It is a combination of tradition and modem.
D. It is known for its beautiful decoration.
