22、House work might seem a drag, but researchers have suggested tasks like dusting, sweeping floors and washing the windows might help adults to stay healthy into old age. Writing in the journal BMJ Open, a Singapore-based team of researchers said regular physical activity “improves physical and mental health, and relieves the risks and effects of chronic diseases among older adults”.

The team randomly chose adults from the town of Yishun in Singapore, and asked them to complete cognitive function tests as well as activities to assess their physical capabilities, such as standing up from a chair as quickly as they could. Participants were also quizzed on their levels of physical activity, including the amount of light housework and heavy housework they did, and were assessed for their risk of having a fall based on measures such as knee extension strength. The study involved 249 participants aged 21-64 and 240 participants aged 65- 90. Most of those who reported doing high levels of heavy or light housework were women.

After taking into account factors including age and sex, the team found cognitive scores and attention scores were 8% and 14% higher respectively for older adults doing high amounts of heavy housework— on average 131 minutes a week— compared with low levels, which appeared to amount to none at all. Sit-to-stand times were lower for older adults reporting high amounts of heavy housework compared with low amounts，while they were also assessed as being at lower risk of having a fall.

Dr Shiou-Liang Wee, the co-author of the research, said health messaging on staying active should not just be about recreational physical activities. “Housework is a purposeful activity performed by many older adults. Independent of recreation, commuting and other work-related physical activity, heavy housework is linked to sharper memory and better falls protection in older adults,” he said.

【1】What does the team find?

A．Housework is a drag to the aged.

B．Health is connected with regular exercise.

C．Only doing housework can the aged stay healthy.

D．Regular physical activity is dangerous for the aged.

【2】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The research procedure.

B．The research result.

C．The research purpose.

D．The research institution.

【3】What was considered in the study?

A．Intelligence and age.

B．Education and sex.

C．Age and sex.

D．Family and income.

【4】What may Shiou-Liang Wee agree with?

A．Commuting is linked to sharper memory.

B．Heavy housework equals recreational activity.

C．People only need recreational physical activity for health.

D．Recreational physical activity shouldn’t replace housework.

23、Why Stand in Line on Black Friday?

Standing in line is a pain. At the post office. At the box office. At a restaurant. 【1】The first spot outside some Best Buy stores is usually claimed (认领) weeks in advance, often by a person in a tent. Shoppers at Walmart will print out maps of the store, with circles around their primary targets. 【2】

“These queues are quite different than the usual annoying ones we come across day to day at the ATM or in the subway,” said Richard Larson, a professor at MIT who has spent years studying line behavior. “Once a year,” he said, “the lines are exciting. They’re the kind you might tell your grandchildren about.” 【3】 Billie LeClere, 45, was first in line on Thursday at Walmart in Manchester, Iowa. She said she was a regular Black Friday shopper. But this year, she came with a specific purpose: to get a good deal on a new TV. She and her husband had recently separated, and he had taken the old TV earlier that day. “The marriage died, not the TV,” she said. 【4】 “It’s going to be nice to have something that’s newer-and it’s mine, not his.”

【5】 The following are two of the typical results. The “gotta have it” atmosphere makes people more anxious. Sometimes the behaviour of the queue turns violent. Therefore，lines test patience，personal space especially on Black Friday, when the crowds can be overwhelming (势不可挡的).

A．Shoppers are excited to buy gifts.

B．But on Black Friday, it’s an experience.

C．Moreover, the crowds are queuing for good deals.

D．Many families are queuing to chat with each other.

E．The experience gave her a sense of accomplishment.

F．They are trying to turn the experience into an adventure.

G．The behaviour of people in lines has inspired decades of research.

24、Professional courses, such as Masters in International Business or MIB, have been taken by many students in the last two decades. They are choosing new-age unconventional courses that guarantee a better future. MIB is a specialized course that teaches the international business. There are solid reasons for so much popularity of MIB course.

The course content and teaching methods of MIB differ from a normal MBA or Master of Business Administration. It has been designed with the objective of developing professionals with an in-depth understanding and knowledge of the international trade. The course offers various advantages over the conventional MBA degree course.

The massive increase in the international business and foreign trade gives excellent job prospects to the new generation. Acquiring a degree of MIB offers outstanding growth of job opportunities. Those who want to pursue in the field of marketing also have a good future after completing the degree from a MIB college with a good reputation. Big multinational organizations look for talented people who can handle the job of International Marketing Manage, and people with MIB degrees are preferred. The job needs an in-depth understanding of the overseas markets, because it is the strategic post from the aspect of company’s international business growth.

Since business finance and economics are covered at length in the courses of MIB, students have great job offers in the field of finance as well. Typically, organizations offer the position of international finance controllers to those who complete MIB with the specialization of finance. The specialization covers aspects of international taxes, accounts, budgeting and so on. People in this field are well-paid, and growth prospects are unlimited. After completing degree course from a reputed MIB college, there is a good opportunity in the banking and finance field as well. International banks appoint people who have an excellent grasp over the international banking policies, currency exchange, and international policies.

25、Like a good cheese, wine, or pair of well-worm blue jeans, some things get better with time. For me, Anne Lamott’s book named Shitty First Drafts can also be grouped into this_________.

I can still hear the laughter when our high school English teacher_________it over two decades ago. At first, her nod to this classic essay was_________in favor of the fact that the elegant, not-quite elderly_________of our learning had just_________a bad word into her classroom lecture like it was no big deal. As she went on to explain, I_________her point about the writing process, but the sticking point for me was the catch-phrase she’d borrowed and used to_________our attention.

This time around, I encountered a how-to on writing that left behind only insightful,_________and humorous bits of wisdom. How__________it is to finally hear from a professional writer that like others, she also experiences the same sorts of__________as a college student working at an essay assignment!

As a full-time writer, now I rely on__________to pay bills and put food on the table. When those words come less__________and I struggle to find my daily rhythm, I make a point of reminding myself where all__________writing begins. The ones who make it look easy are often those who’ve__________some interest, ability or natural talent with a lot of__________, efforts, and struggles. And__________drafts. If the best of the best need to write several versions of any given piece to shape__________material into a product worth a look, then the rest of us need to__________the writing process to work for us, too.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其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。

I looked around at the other patients waiting to see the doctor. Maybe they all had more romantic plans for the evening on this Valentine’s Day, but for now the group seemed anti-social. Three people had their heads down, staring at cell phones. Another was absorbed in a magazine. The receptionist tapped at her computer. Everyone was in their own little world.

But I couldn’t judge them for it. I would probably be buried in my cell phone too—if I hadn’t forgotten to charge it before I left home. It would have been nice to strike up a conversation to pass the time on this day, a day of love and friendship. Instead I sat patiently in my plastic chair as a couple of new people took distant seats.

“Roberta? The doctor’s ready for you,” the nurse called. At least I’ll have some kind of human connection, I thought.

My checkup went well, and I breezed out of the office to my little Honda in a space right out front. I got in and tured the key. Nothing. Oh, no. Not again. I’d sent the car to the garage several times already for this very problem and thought it had finally been fixed.

I reached for my cell phone to call AAA — then remembered. It was dead, like my car. I would have to use the phone inside. A few people glanced up when I came back into the waiting room, then quickly went back to what they were doing. I went straight to the reception desk, but the receptionist was not there. So I tured back to the people in the waiting room.

“I wouldn’t normally do this,” I said to the group, hoping that I sounded apologetic. Several people tured toward me to listen. “But my car won’t start …”

The nurse popped her head into the room. “You in trouble, Roberta?” she said. “I’ll go and take a look.” I followed the nurse outside. As I passed through the door, I felt someone was behind me.
