What is your recovery rate？ How long does it take you to 1 from actions and behaviors that upset you？ Minutes？ Hours？ Days？ Weeks？ The longer it takes you to recover， the more influence that incident has on your actions， and the 2 able you are to perform to your personal best. In a nutshell， the longer it takes you to recover， the weaker you are and the poorer your 3.

You are well aware that you need to exercise to keep the body fit and， no doubt， accept that a reasonable measure of health is the speed 4 which your heart and respiratory system recovers after exercise. Likewise the faster you let go of an issue that upsets you， the faster you 5 to an equilibrium （平衡）， the healthier you will be. The best 6 of this behavior is found with professional sports people. They know that the faster they can forget an incident or missed opportunity and get on with the game， the better their performance. 7， most measure the time it takes them to overcome and forget an incident in a game and most reckon a recovery rate of 30 8 is too long！

9 yourself to be an actor in a play on the stage. Your aim is to 10 your part to the best of your ability. You have been given a script and at the end of each 11 is a full stop. Each time you get to the end of the sentence you start a new one and 12 the next sentence is related to the last，it is not affected by it. Your job is to deliver each sentence to the best of your 13.

Dont live your life in the 14！ Learn to live in the present， to overcome the past. Stop the past from 15 your daily life. Dont allow thoughts of the past to 16 your personal best. Stop the past from interfering with your life. Learn to recover quickly.

Remember： Rome wasnt built in a day. 17 on your recovery rate each day. Every day before you go to bed， look at your progress. Dont 18 in bed saying to you， “I did that wrong.” “I 19 have done better there.” No. Look at your day and note when you made an effort to place a full stop after an incident. This is a success. You are taking 20 of your life. Remember this is a step by step process. This is not a makeover. You are undertaking real change here. Your aim： reduce the time spent in recovery.

Bridge exhibition to open in London to mark 120th anniversary of Tower Bridge

The Museum of London Docklands is to open a new exhibition on Friday， celebrating the 120th anniversary of Londons iconic Tower Bridge， the museum announced Thursday.

The new exhibition， Bridge， will allow visitors to view rare contemporary and historical artworks of the most iconic bridges above the Thames river， which will include paintings， photographs and films.

Focusing on different themes， such as River， Building， Crowds， Icon and Bridge， the museum will show the impacts of those bridges on the people， the construction of the bridges and design in the future， as well as unique perspectives from artists works.

“To cross a London bridge is to really see the city. Londons bridges give a view of the capital impossible to appreciate from its jumbled medieval street plan. Most of the time we are in a maze of streets and the city reveals itself in fragments. On a bridge， however， the full iconic panorama is laid out，” said Francis Marshall， senior curator of the museum.

Alongside the exhibit， 16 hybrid photographs of the bridges in London will also be unveiled， showing “then and now” views of the bridges across the ages in the city.

The 16 hybrid images are juxtaposed by historic views， taken by photographers in late 19th and 20th century， with their current perspectives.

“Contrasting historic shots with those of today allow us to see how the city has changed over time. Or in some cases how it has remained the same，” the curator said.

With the River Thames across central London， the city has abundant river history and bridge culture. Bridges have been playing a very important and irreplaceable role in peoples life ever since.

Among over twenty bridges over the River Thames， Tower Bridge was officially open on June 30， 1984. Stretching 244 meters long， about 40，000 people cross the bridge everyday.

1. What is the main purpose of the passage？

A. To introduce the language and culture of Tower Bridge.

B. To attract tourists to enjoy the artworks of Tower Bridge.

C. To celebrate the 120th anniversary of Tower Bridge.

D. To call for the public to witness the influence of Tower Bridge.

2. The following statements about the Tower Bridge are true EXCEPT that .

A. visitors can view rare contemporary and historical artworks of the bridges

B. the museum will show the impacts of those bridges on the people

C. 16 hybrid photographs of the bridges in London will also be unveiled

D. Tower Bridge was officially open on July 30， 1984， stretching 244 meters long

3. We can learn from the passage that .

A. Tower Bridge has a history of about 120 years

B. the museum will show the impacts of common people

C. the 16 hybrid images are juxtaposed by current views

D. Londons bridges give a view of the whole city

The Brazilian government says it has invested billions of dollars in infrastructure， security and social enhancements as part of the preparations for the World Cup. While the government says these investments will have longterm benefits for society， independent analysts say the impact is mixed.

Urban planners say the $11 billion spent on stadiums and infrastructure has provided jobs to some poor Brazilians， but the public works have also driven up housing costs and forced the least wealthy residents further away from jobs and services.

Particularly controversial has been the socalled pacification program in informal communities， or favelas. Special police， called UPPs （Police Pacification Units）， have been deployed in dozens of favelas to drive out drug traffickers and other criminals.

The results have been mixed， according to Urbanism Professor Chris Gaffney， from the local Fluminense Federal University.

“One benefit is we have seen a dramatic decrease in mortality rates through gunfire， because the police no longer come in and open fire randomly in these pacified communities. We have also seen an increase in petty crimes， rapes and burglaries，” said Gaffney.

Gaffney said traffickers belonged to these communities and imposed their own kind of instant justice， whereas the police are viewed with suspicion. He said the gangsters have just moved their operations to other favelas.

Nevertheless， the program has brought some order to previously lawless neighborhoods.

“These places were closed in many respects to the formal market. So the UPP goes into the favela and it removes the barrier of the drug traffickers and allows all kinds of market forces to flow through it， whether it is tourism or statesponsored projects or formalized businesses to come in the form of banks，” explained Gaffney.

The investment in social programs by the World Cup organizing body， FIFA， is another positive development， said Sports Management professor Lisa Delpy Neirotti of George Washington University.

“There has been a lot of educational programs， teaching young people about the environment， using football to educate them about other issues in terms of， like， AIDS， and getting them to come and go to school，” said Neirotti.

She added that under FIFA pressure， the government has adopted some proenvironmental measures such as recycling waste at the stadiums and ensuring the structures meet the guidelines of the LEEDS energy and environmental design program.

“The biggest challenge is the legacy， will these programs continue？ Will people remember to recycle？” asked Neirotti.

The Brazilian government says billions of dollars will be added to the economy because of the World Cup， but many Brazilians believe the money will go to only a few.

Critics note several European cities have rejected proposals to host such megaevents. They believe the model needs to be reexamined if host nations are to avoid public protests like those that have accompanied the Brazil World Cup.

4. What is independent analysts attitude towards government investments？

A. They are positive about these government investments for society.

B. They are conservative about these government investments for society.

C. They are enthusiastic about these government investments for society.

D. They are negative about these government investments for society.

5. Chris Gaffney believed that .

A. a decrease in petty crimes is one benefit

B. the program has brought mixed results

C. a dramatic decrease in mortality rates is one benefit

D. the program has brought some order to neighborhoods

6. We can infer from the text that .

A. these government investments will have longterm benefits for society

B. Special police have been deployed in dozens of lawprotecting favelas

C. Lisa Delpy Neirotti is positive about the investment in social programs

D. billions of dollars has been added to the economy because of the World Cup

7. What is the passage mainly about？

A. Different opinions about government investment for the World Cup.

B. Discussion about whether government should invest for the World Cup.

C. Advantages over government investment for the World Cup.

D. Disadvantages over government investment for the World Cup.

C

British scientists have identified a set of 10 proteins in the blood that can predict the onset of Alzheimers and call this an important step towards developing a test for the incurable brainwasting disease.

Such a test could initially be used to select patients for clinical trials of experimental treatments being developed to try to halt progression of Alzheimers， the researchers said， and may one day move into routine use in doctors clinics.

“Alzheimers begins to affect the brain many years before patients are diagnosed （and） many of our drug trials fail because by the time patients are given the drugs the brain has already been too severely affected，” said Simon Lovestone of Oxford University， who led this work from Kings College London.

“A simple blood test could help us identify patients at a much earlier stage to take part in new trials and hopefully develop treatments，” he said.

Alzheimers is the most common form of dementia， a brainwasting disease which in 2010 was estimated to be costing the world $604 billion a year. The fatal disease affects 44 million people worldwide， with the number set to triple by 2050， the campaign group Alzheimers Disease International says.

Several big pharma firms including Roche， Eli Lilly， Merck & Co and Johnson & Johnson， are pursuing various approaches to get to the root cause of Alzheimers and try to find treatments to halt its progression.

Yet over the past 15 years， more than 100 experimental Alzheimers drugs have failed in trial. Lovestone and other experts believe this may be because drug trials are conducted too late， in patients whose condition has already gone too far.

A predictive test for use before people develop symptoms would help researchers select the right people for drug trials， and help show whether the experimental drugs are working.

SEARCH FOR ALTERNATIVE TEST

Previous studies have found that PET brain scans and tests of lumbar fluid can be used to predict the onset of dementia from people with a less severe condition known as mild cognitive impairment （MCI）， but these tests are expensive and invasive， so scientists are keen to develop a cheaper， simpler blood test.

MCI includes problems with daytoday memory， language and attention. It can be an early sign of dementia， or a symptom of stress or anxiety.

Around 10 percent of people diagnosed with MCI develop dementia within a year. Apart from regular assessments to measure memory decline， there is currently no accurate way of predicting who will or wont develop dementia.

For this study， published in the journal Alzheimers & Dementia， Lovestones team used blood samples from 1，148 people—476 with Alzheimers， 220 with mild cognitive impairment and 452 elderly controls without dementia. They were analyzed for 26 proteins previously found to be linked with Alzheimers.

The team found 16 of these 26 proteins to be strongly associated with brain shrinkage in either MCI or Alzheimers and then ran a second series of tests to see which of these could predict which patients would progress from MCI to Alzheimers.

With this second series， they found a combination of 10 proteins capable of predicting with 87 percent accuracy whether people with MCI would develop Alzheimers disease within a year.

Experts in the field welcomed the results but said they should be replicated in larger studies before an Alzheimers blood test could be rolled out for use in doctors clinics.

“The results reported today are interesting， but as the authors point out there is still a very large amount of work remaining until a usable blood test for Alzheimers disease becomes available，” said Adrian Pini of the MRC Center for Developmental Neurobiology at Kings College London.

James Pickett， head of research at the Alzheimers Society， said the research “does not mean that a blood test for dementia is just around the corner.”

“These 10 proteins can predict conversion to dementia with less than 90 percent accuracy， meaning one in 10 people would get an incorrect result，” he said. “Accuracy would need to be improved before it could be a useful diagnostic test.”

8. The underlined word “dementia” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to .

A. a system about health

B. a serious infectious illness

C. a brainwasting disease

D. a widespread disease

9. Which of the following statements is TRUE？

A. Lovestones team used blood samples from 452 with mild cognitive impairment.

B. These 10 proteins can predict conversion to dementia with over 90 percent accuracy.

C. James Pickett said the research means that a blood test for dementia is possible.

D. MCI includes problems with daytoday memory， language and attention.

10. The passage is probably from a .

A. lab reportB. medical report

C. research paperD. science story

Dear Mike，

I am very glad that you will have a trip in Canada. Now Id like to share some information about Canada with you.

Canada is one of the largest countries in the world， second only to Russia， and has always been famous for its fantastic natural scenery. The vast majority of Canadas population of more than 30 million people is urban. Therefore， Toronto and Montreal are known internationally for their metropolitan lifestyle， beautiful architecture and unique culture. Toronto， the largest city in Canada， ranks among the most multicultural cities in the world. In the heart of Toronto is the Canadian National Tower， which is often called the CN tower for short. Montreal， a port in the province of Quebec， is the second largest city in Canada， and also the second largest Frenchspeaking city in the world， Paris being the largest. Niagara Falls is perhaps the bestknown natural phenomenon in Canada， which is shaped like a semicircle.

With all of these attractions， you will find that this is an unforgettable experience. （146 words）

中国历经改革开放30多年，国家日益繁荣富强。但需要解决的问题依然很多。面对前进中的问题，怀抱什么心理，采取什么态度，同样是爱国的试金石。我们要采取积极的态度，切不可牢骚满腹，怪话连篇，横挑鼻子竖挑眼。

三是奉献。当代年轻人热恋时最爱说的一句话是“我爱你，我要为你献出一切”。是的，当你真正爱一个人的时候，就应当舍得为他（她）献出一切，直至生命。五千年中国文明史，百年中国现代史，产生过难以计数的志士仁人。他们有的抛头颅洒热血，有的甘居贫穷毁家纾难。两弹一星的建设元勋，常年奋斗在戈壁沙滩，“衣带渐宽终不悔”。他们舍弃妻子儿女，有的一生家里人不知道他们在干些什么。先辈们的赤子之心，牺牲精神，奉献情怀，如苍松翠柏，永远是我们学习的榜样。

老年人虽然已经从工作岗位上退了下来，同样面临爱国的考验。还是曹孟德的“龟虽寿”名言：“老骥伏枥，志在千里，烈士暮年，壮心不已。”老年人要与时俱进，一心跟党走，做不了大事情，做点小事情，帮不了大忙帮小忙。为自己定好“座标”，让社会喜欢，家庭高兴。只是千万注意不帮倒忙，少添麻烦。今年是马年，努力争做象棋中的“卧槽马”，不做“别腿马”，发挥好“老马识途”的作用。

爱国是一个公民起码的道德，也是中华民族的优良传统。公民爱国，实际上就是爱自己祖国的人民，捍卫公民自己的根本利益。

推荐理由：“我想！我做！我得到”，吉米·克里夫的这首歌曲诠释了这一道理。高三的学子们我们要大胆地想，努力地做，那么我们就会到达胜利的彼岸。相信依靠你们的坚强、自信和坚持，你们一定能跨过高考这道坎，加油！

原文

I Want， I Do， I Get

Theres a great song out there by Jimmy Cliff， one of reggaes top artists， that in six words summarizes just how you succeed in life： I want！ I do！ I get！ These six words are a very powerful way of connecting what you want with what you will achieve.

First comes wanting something—a better life for yourself， your family， more money， a better job， whatever it is you dream about and long for. You desire it， you dream about it， you daydream about it， you yearn for it.

But thats not enough. Next and this the part too many people forget about—comes the doing. All of the wanting in the world is not going to move you one inch closer to what you want： you have to do. You have to find a better job， change jobs， take risks， write software， try new things， stop doing old things， go to college， work， act， do. The doing is the absolutely indispensable connection between what you want and what you get.

Finally， if you keep doing what needs to be done， if you keep adjusting what you do to move you closer to what you want， you get. Maybe not easily， maybe not as quickly as movies and television portray， but it will come.

One final philosophical note about these six words： notice that “I” is three of them？ Not what others want， not what others say you are “supposed” or “should” do. Whats more， no one is going to do it for you.

You are the key to making these six words work.

参考词汇：

1. philosophical [fIlsɑfIkl] adj. 哲学的 （等philosophic）；冷静的

2. indispensable [IndIspensb（）l] adj. 不可缺少的；绝对必要的；责无旁贷的 n. 不可缺少之物；必不可少的人

3. portray [ptreI] vt. 描绘；扮演

译文

我想！ 我做！ 我得到！

世界顶尖的雷鬼音乐家吉米·克里夫 （Jimmy Cliff） 曾创作了这样一首了不起的歌曲，其歌名为《我想！我做！我得到！》。这六个词则把一个人怎样在一生中取得成功的经过进行了概括。这六个词是十分强有力的，它将“所想”与“所成”串在了一条线上。

首先要做的就是要去想，想想让你和你的家人有更好的生活，赚更多的钱，找到更好的工作……无论这是你的梦想还是渴望，你想要得到这些，你梦想得到这些，你幻想得到这些，并且你对此也充满了向往。

但光想还不够，下一步，往往也是大部分人忽视掉的这一步——付诸于行动。世上最遗憾的事莫过于梦想自己不会向你的方向多靠近哪怕一英寸，因此你必须主动去接近梦想。于是你不得不去找一份更好的工作、经历跳槽、承担风险、编写软件、尝试新鲜事物、不再走老路、去上学、去工作、去做事……从梦想到获得的路途中，行动是一座必经的桥梁。

如果你始终在做需要做的事；如果你一直在调整你的方向，去做一些能让你更靠近梦想的事；那么最终，你就会圆梦。这或许不那么简单，这又或许没有电影电视中演得那么快，但这终究还是会成为现实。

最后，让我们从哲学角度来审视一下这六个词：注意了，三个动作的主语都是 “我”。这是因为，梦想并不是他人的梦想，也不会有其他人对你说你“要去”或“该去”做什么。此外，也没有人会代替你去做什么。

因此，让这六个词发挥作用的人，只有你自己。
