26、Part of a research study, by scientists at McMaster University, which is ongoing into the influence of drinking milk after heavy weightlifting, has observed that milk helps exercisers burn more fat.

The scientists took three groups of young men 18 to 30 years of age, 56 in total, and put them through a strict, five day per week weightlifting program over a 12-week period. Following their workouts, study participants drank either two cups of skim milk, or a soy beverage with equal amounts of protein and energy, or a carbohydrate beverage with an equal amount of energy.

Upon the study's conclusion, scientists observed that: the milk drinking group had lost nearly twice as much fat—two pounds—as those in the carbohydrate beverage group, who lost one pound of fat. Those drinking soy beverages lost no fat. At the same time, the gain in muscle was much greater among the milk drinkers than either the soy or carbohydrate beverage participants.

As published in the first stage of the study, the milk drinking group came out on top in terms of muscle gain with an estimated 40 percent or 2.5 pounds more muscle mass than the soy beverage drinkers. In addition, this group gained 63 percent or 3.3 pounds more muscle mass than the carbohydrate beverage drinkers.

"I think the evidence is beginning to increase," says Stuart Phillips—the leader of the study. "Milk may be best known for its calcium content in supporting bone health, but our research, and later others', can continually support milk's ability to aid in muscle growth and also promote body fat loss. Milk is the ideal post workout drink for recreational exercisers and athletes alike."

【1】How many days did the participants lift weights in the program?

A．56 days.

B．84 days.

C．60 days.

D．12 days.

【2】What does the underlined word "beverage" probably mean?

A．A kind of medicine.

B．A sort of drink.

C．A type of exercise.

D．A piece of equipment.

【3】According to the passage, we can know that

A．the scientists chose people aged 18, 30 and 56 as participants of the research

B．a soy beverage is a proper choice for losing weight over the long term

C．people who drink milk every day are always healthier and thinner than others

D．soy beverages are better than carbohydrate beverages for exercisers to gain muscle

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．What exercisers should do to lose weight.

B．How milk influences people's health and figure.

C．The differences between milk and soy or carbohydrate beverages.

D．A research about the effect of drinking milk on exercisers.

27、Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.

I wrote him and his wife a thank­you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.

“Thank you” — two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.

【2】The battery of the author’s car was dead because ________.

A．something went wrong with the lights

B．how to deal with car problems

C．the kind­heartedness of older people

D．the importance of expressing thanks

29、   When I was a small boy, I noticed that though many of the adults around me were wealthy and educated, they were not always happy and this sometimes led them to behave in ways, which I, as a child, thought strange. As a result of that, I decided to try to understand what happiness was and how best to achieve it. It was not surprising, then, that I decided to study psychology.

On arrival at the university, I was disappointed to find that academic psychologists were trying to understand human behaviour by studying rats in a lab. I felt that there must be other more useful ways of learning how we think and feel. I decided to build my career on trying to discover what made others happy. I started out by studying creative people such as musicians, artists and athletes because they were people who devoted their lives to doing what they wanted to do, rather than things that just brought them financial rewards.

Later, I expanded the study by inventing a system called “the experience sampling method”. Ordinary people were asked to keep an electronic pager(传呼机) for a week which gave out a beeping sound eight times a day. Every time it did so, they wrote down where they were, what they were doing, how they felt and how much they were concentrating. This system has now been used on more than 10，000 people, and the answers are consistent: as with creative people, ordinary people are happiest when concentrating hard.

I found that the most obvious cause of happiness is intense concentration. This must be the main reason why activities such as music, art, literature, sports and other forms of leisure have survived. In order to concentrate, whether you're reading a poem or building a sandcastle, what you need is a challenge that matches your ability. The way to remain continually happy, therefore, is to keep finding new opportunities to improve your skills. This may mean learning to do your job better or faster, or doing other more difficult jobs. As you grow older, you have to find new challenges which are more appropriate to your age.

【1】What led the author to study psychology?

A．His determination to become rich.

B．His observation of adults.

C．His unhappy childhood.

D．His interest in strangers.

【2】Who were the author's study subjects at the start of his career?

A．People having deep affection for their career.

B．People very aware of their personal life.

C．People successful in acquiring wealth.

D．People with more freedom.

【3】The author used his system to show that ________．

A．people's happiness depends on who they are with

B．people are happier when they focus on an activity

C．creative people are happier than ordinary people

D．ordinary people find it hard to concentrate

【4】According to the text, people concentrate more when they are doing ______．

A．something strange and enjoyable

B．things appropriate to their ages

C．something difficult but possible

D．many things at the same time

30、Five years ago, a friend asked me to look after his cat while he went on holiday, and I realized the idea had potential on a bigger scale. So I moved to London and decided to ________ cat sitting.

For me, cat sitting is about ________ two groups of people who need what the other can offer. I get to stay in people’s ________ without rent while they’re on holiday.

It seems a fairer ________than just watering plants or walking dogs—I’m more of a cat person.

I have always loved cats, and their gentle temper makes them ideal ________for someone working from home.

But just four days later, the cat came over and sat on my lap. I sent her a photo!

Cat sitting helps me with my ________ anxiety disorder, too. I want to be around people, but sometimes I can’t. Sometimes, this anxiety even ________ me from leaving the house.
