21、If you've ever considered training for a marathon, but you are a bit scared by the idea of 26. 2 miles, here is some motivation.

A slow and steady six-month training program designed to gradually build up endurance, gave a group of novice ( 新手) runners , ages 21 to 69, an impressive boost to their heart health.【1】Using these images, researchers documented reductions in aortic artery stiffness (大动脉僵硬).

“As you get older, the normal aging process causes changes in your heart and your vessels," the study author Dr. Bhuva says.“And hardening of the arteries increases the risk of many diseases." 【2】Many studies have shown that exercise over a lifetime reduces aortic stiffness.

The training program was a slow build-up over six months. But it turned out that the older, slower runners saw the most benefits, in terms of reducing blood pressure and arterial stiffness. Even among people with existing heart disease, regular physical activity can help improve heart health.【3】

Ready to go? 2 tips to get started with your running goals.

Tip 1: Commit to a specific race or event.

18 million people in the U. S. participated in road races last year. If a marathon sounds frightening, aim for a half or a 5K.【4】Parkrun USA organizes timed 5K races around the country that are free and open to everyone.

Tip 2:【5】

“We normally tell our patients, look, you need to run or exercise, 150 minutes a week. But, of course, that's very boring for people to follow," Bhuva says. When you find a group or a partner to train with, it will be more likely that you'll stick with it.

A．The value of the new marathon study is to show how people can make improvements.

B．Each of the 138 runners received a scan at the beginning and end of the training.

C．And research shows that exercise can help ease anxiety，depression, even sleep disorders.

D．Most people can find a way to be more physically active, whether it is cycling or rowing,

E．But your lifestyle and habits can modify the rate and extent of these changes

F．Find a group or a partner.

G．The simple act of registering may motivate you to start training.

22、Every year on April 1, April Fools’ Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. In France, it’s called “Poisson d’Avril” or “Fish of April.” In Scotland, the holiday is often called “Gowkie Day.” In Iraq, the holiday is called Kithbet Neesan or “April Lie.”

History experts say people have celebrated April Fools’ Day for a long time. Some believe the tradition comes from the ancient Romans more than two thousand years ago. It was a day of playing games and pretending to be someone else.

Others say the day for fooling began in France in 1564, when King Charles changed the yearly calendar. He moved New Year’s Day from April 1 to January 1. Many people did not know about the change because of communication problems back then. Some people continued to celebrate New Year’s Day on April 1. Other people called them April Fools and played jokes on them.

In the United States, April Fools’ Day is just a day of joking and playing tricks on friends. These kinds of jokes are also called pranks. These jokes typically end in the prankster shouting “April Fools’!”

Simple pranks, like telling a friend a funny lie or making prank phone calls, are still common. But, major companies also get in on April Fools’ Day fun in a much bigger way. A few years ago, on April 1, Starbucks announced it was introducing new coffee cup sizes -- Plenta and Micra. The very large cups, bigger than a human head, remained useful for customers even after finishing all that coffee. According to Starbucks, the cups could be used as a rain hat, a pot for plants, or a lampshade.

It did not take long for customers to catch on to the prank! More and more people use social media or smart phone apps to play pranks on their friends on April Fools’ Day. One very annoying smart phone app, Cat Facts, sends funny facts about cats to your friends’ phones, every day.

【1】Why did some people keep the old New Year’s Day?

A. It was known only by the government.

B. They wanted to be different from others.

C. They like the old celebration.

D. They didn’t know the time changed.

【2】Americans celebrated April Fool’s Day to _________.

A. improve the friendship between friends.

B. have fun and play jokes on others.

C. find a chance to give children gifts.

D. escape the stress of their work.

【3】What is the meaning of the underlined words “get in on” in Paragraph 5?

A. participate in.   B. turn down.

C. break away from.   D. give up.

【4】What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A. To introduce a new festival.

B. To tell a story on April Fool’s Day.

C. To introduce April Fool’s Day.

D. To express love to the friends.

23、How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career

When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.

Think about what you like to do. If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can’t always make money doing things you like (like video games or drinking beer). 【1】

Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn’t sound so bad. 【2】 Or maybe that’s out of your educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker. These are all great choices. But often they are not something you’re really passionate about. It’s kind of like just doing something because it’s there——not very inspired.

【3】 Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better. For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life, or blossom into who they want to be or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. 【4】 And if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day.

【5】 The point isn’t how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose. If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you’re always further along than most people.

A．There are endless ways to do that.

B．Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer?

C．However, there’s another way that is perhaps better.

D．You are dreaming of a well-paid job which you like best.

E．It’s essential not to concentrate on interests and good payment.

F．Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose.

G．And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or side passion.

24、   We often spend a lot of time complaining about the things we don’t have or thinking about the things we want to have in future, and forget those things we have now. 【1】 One of the best ways is to make a list of all the things you are grateful for.

Having a comfortable family

Even if you have a difficult relationship with your parents, you should be thankful to your family. Whether you come from a small quiet family or a big noisy one, remember that these people truly love you, even if they don’t show it.【2】.

Having a good relationship with friends

【3】, be grateful for having them, even if you have only one. Personally I can say that one good friend is always better than a few so-called friends. Be thankful to your friends and try to remind them how much you care as often as possible.

【4】.

We often forget our health until we are sick. Whether you have a headache or something more serious, you can’t accomplish your tasks and you can’t focus on anything else. If you are a healthy person，be thankful for it each day, and make sure you lead a healthy lifestyle.

Valuing the past failures and mistakes

Every person should be grateful for their failures and mistakes. Every failed relationship or missed job chance makes you a better person. 【5】 . Just don’t dwell(细想)too much on your past.

A. Keeping your body in a good situation

B. No matter how many friends you have

C. Realizing the condition of your sickness

D. They will always be ready to help you in any situation

E. When your friends point out your past failures and mistakes

F. If you fell down, you should remind yourself that you are actually a happy person

G. Sometimes mistakes are great since they help you become better if you learn from them

26、请阅读下面短文，并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

On the subway in Beijing, most people stare at their smartphones. Some play video games or watch TV dramas, while some choose to read.

Online novels are popular among these readers. In fact, more people are becoming registered users on online literature websites or smartphone applications. The total number of online literature website users had increased to over 500 million by the end of November 2018, according to a report from China Internet Network Information Center. This shows half of all netizens are online literature readers.

Many scholars estimate the number will keep increasing at an annual rate of tens of millions. Yet the fast growth due to the widespread adoption of the Internet and smartphones in the past 20 years was criticized by some writers as disorder. As the number of online literature works increases, some vulgar (低俗的) online novels have appeared. Ning Ken, the top prize winner of the First Online Literature Contest, said online literature needs guidance. “I think it should be something of high quality, rather than just a sort of entertainment. Its quality should be improved, ”said the writer.
