AYou don’t have to be an athlete--or even desire to be one--to start running.Just look at Jim Scott. In January 2003, a month after he retired. Scott began running. That November, he finished the New York City Marathon.Scott, a radio-talk show host in Cincinnati, Ohio, didn’t do much in the way of exercise before then. He played golf as often as he could but found the time for regular exercise.“When I turned 60, I thought it was a good time to reconsider things,” says Scott. “I start thinking, ‘These waist pants I’ve worn all my life are getting a bit tighter.’”Scott decided he wanted to get in better shape and feel comfortable in his pants again. Oh, and there was one more motivation to try running: I’m married to a marathon runner,” he says.Scott himself never intended to run a marathon. He simply wanted to go on Sunday morning runs with his wife, Donna Hartman, and keep on. But sometimes running can surprise you.Maybe you just want to run around your neighborhood, or explore a new one. Maybe you want to challenge your body in a different way, to build up, or lose weight. Whatever your goals, running is an excellent exercise for a beginner to try.“It’s cheap, easy, and the perfect thing to do with a friend,”says Isphording, a former marathoner and host of two health and fitness radio shows in Cincinnati. “You can go for a run in the morning and finish at your driveway with your hands in the air and you’ve had success before 7 am. This is a gift from you to you.”21. What career did Scott take up?A. A golferB. A hostC. An athleteD. A coach22. Why did Scott start to run?A. To lose weightB. To fight with illnessC.

The TreeCAfter having trouble finding a service dog, a Lebanese started a volunteer program to help people train their own service dogs.Suzanne Brean started the program of Dogs for Visual(视力的) Disabilities in January 2011, after losing her job. Now she and her husband Clerk , along with a small volunteer staff, work with people to train well-behaved dogs to become service dogs for people with “visual disabilities”. These disabilities may include anxiety problems, or just having trouble picking things up off the ground.Dogs are ready to begin the training to become service dogs at 12 weeks old. Because they are owner-trained, the dogs may start helping their owners as soon as they begin the training. “We mainly do owner training,” she said. “If a dog shows that it is suited to be a service dog—and it’s young enough—then we will help it with training to become a service dog.”She said the program will do a temperament(性情) test to determine if a dog can be trained to be a service dog. “The dogs have to be able to remain calm,”Suzanne said. “It’s OK to startle(惊觉) when hearing a noise, but they’re got to recover quickly from it.”The service first starts with the basic commands: sit, stay and wait. “Then we work with the people, based on their disabilities, to come up with things the dog can do to help them,” Suzanne said. “That can be helping them pick up things because they can’t bend over well, or helping them with balance, or helping them find exits if necessary. And of the owner suffers from a medical issue, they can train the dog to find the owner’s medical bag and bring it to him.”28．What made Suzanne Brean started the program of Dogs for Visual Disabilities?A．Her own visual disabilities.B．The difficulty in finding a service dog.C．Her financial trouble after becoming jobless.D．The increasing number of people with visual disabilities .29．Why can the dogs help their owners immediately they begin the training?

But for many of us, it can be difficult. For those who aren’t so comfortable, you’ll be relaxed to know it’s a skill that you can develop. All takes is preparation and practice.The first place to start is to realize that you need to appreciate cultural differences. To many paople from English-speaking countries, Northern Europeans may seem too direct or unfriendly because they don’t make smalltalk. Germans don’t even have a word for it! While Americans and the British are work-oriented cultures, they do like to feel friendly with their colleagues. Often, just a few words about family or other interests are enough to put then at ease and increase the chances ofa good working relationship.So, how do you do it? Well, there’s not one sure way. Of course, the question”How are you?” is an appropriate greeting or small talk starter in just about any culture. The weather is usually a safe topic in any culture. To help you make your next”small talk moment” less awkward(尴尬的)，here are a few tips we’ve picked up from our travels and dealings with people all around the world.Northern Europeans like facts, politics and sport. In France, coldness can be respected. It’s often wise to avoid being too personal with your small talk. Southern Europeans and Latin American cultures communicate with a lot of emtion. Safe topics include family, friends and general hobbies. In India, people often communicate by asking about families or social matters. It’s polite to ask about plans for the weekend. Japanese don’t do handshakes, but they do exchange business cards. Silent gaps in conversation are considered polite, so don’t try to fill them. Approprroate small talk in China includes talking about your experiences in China. 32. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 1probably mean?A．shylyB．uselesslyC．easilyD．gradually33. In America and Britain, workers make small talk probably to________. A．know their colleague’ familyB．know their colleague’s interestsC．kill time when they have nothing to doD．build a good working relationship with each other34．What should you avoid doing when you are talking with a Frenchman? A．talking about sportB．talking about politicsC．showing your coldnessD．asking too personal questions35. It is appropriate to talk full of emotion in ________.①Latin American countries ②Northern European countries③Southern European countries ④Asian countriesA.①③B. ②③C. ③④D. ①④第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
