Twelve years ago，Rachel Miller was lost when it came to her son John．The 7-year-old was seriously disabled because of his autism(自闭症)．Unable to speak，he withdrew from people at school and，worse，from his family．
In March 2003，Miller was introduced to Jeff Hancock，a one-on-one therapist(治疗师)for people with autism．Hancock was hired to be John’s companion．The two would go people-watching at the mall in Stuart，Florida, on the weekends．Hancock chatted throughout their trips，ev en though John couldn’t talk back．

Frustrated，he pulled i nto a parking spot facing a small lake to see if his SUV’s GPS could help．Before Haire could enter the address of their destination，Haire’s friend Zac Sawin，19，glanced up from the backseat and saw a pair of lights glowing from the water about 50 yards from shore．“There’s a car in the water!”he cried．
In the darkness，the boys could hardly make out the shape of the driver through the
window．“We thought，we’ve got to get this guy out of there now，or he’s going to die，”says Haire．
He and Sawin，both athletes，dashed into the cold water and swam hard to the sinking Mazda．Inside，Miguel Hernandez，23，was tightly seizing the steering wheel and staring straight ahead in shock．

“The series of events that led us there were the craziest coincidences(巧合)ever,”says Haire．“We left my friend’s house at a certain time，didn’t have to stop at any red lights，got lost．”Sawin agrees：“If we had showed up 30 seconds later，he probably would have been dead．”25．What made Haire frustrated?

There are many weight loss products，plans and programs in the market．However, if most of
these programs were effective，we would see obesity trends reversing, yet we are witnessing more and more people struggling with weight．
Experiences of dieters regaining pre-dieting weight within 5 years are common. Therefore，a fitness program that works over a long period of time is something you should be looking for．Before reaching for your wallet or purse，make sure the program is exactly what it claims to be．
Professional endorsement(认可)
A good program should not make unrealistic promises，such as“To lose 5 pounds in a week，with no exercise!”Therefor e，it is advisable to judge whether the promises being made are realistic．The plan should also have a high success rate of weight loss．
Qualification
A weight loss program should consider the health of the applicants．It should consider their age，medical condition，gender，health background，medication and more，in order to make a plan that meets the needs of every applicant．A good program should include diet and exercise in order to promote permanent and good health．
Restriction
A good program should not overly restrictive(限制的)on food allowances．Some programs ask you not to eat foods from the main nutrient food groups like fruit and vegetables．A successful weight loss plan，for most people，should not involve less than 1,200 calories per day．Cost effective
A long-term program does not have to cost you lots of money．An effective plan that is reasonably priced can save you a large sum of money that can be spent on other healthy habits．This car in turn improve your lifespan．

Millions of Americans take classes to learn the poses and breathing of the ancient Indian practice of yoga．In recent years，yoga organizations have been reaching out to people who may not normally have the opportunity to take yoga classes，such as the homeless，people with drug and alcohol addictions．Green Door is a small mental health center in Washington where yoga is helping change people’s lives for the better.
The free，weekly yoga classes are offered as a part of Green Door’s program to help people who are mentally ill cope with their problems and become more independent．Most are poor and many are homeless or in temporary housing．Social worker Miranda White says a lot of them don’t exercise，but yoga is a good way to get them moving，even if it’s from a chair．“Their patience for doing any type of exercise is mi nimal at first，but once they’ve gotten involved in yoga，I’ve seen this love for it，”said White．
Studies have shown the positive effect of yoga on a range of mental illnesses．They indicate the practice helps reduce stress，ease chronic depression and lessen mental diseases．“That’s something these people really need．It's a moment for their bodies to just relax because if you’re homeless，or if you’re struggling with symptoms(症状)of hearing voices or depression，it's hard to find a calm place within yourself and your environment，and with a lot of
them you can see it in their faces，”Miranda White said．
That’s beneficial for Charles Bradley, who had a mental breakdown due to drug abuse，and has been clean for a year．
“You don’t always have to go running back to subst ances to make you feel good．You can make yourself feel good just by doing something as simple as breathing，”said Bradley．Bradley started taking yoga because he was curious—but now considers it a vital part of turning his life around．

A．Providing shelters for people．
B．Reducing mental diseases．
C．Improving living condition．
D．Dealing with all problems．
34．What is the attitude of Charles Bradley towards yoga? A．Grateful．B．Regretful．C．Critical．D．Uncertain．
35．Who will be most interested in the topic?
A．Those who want to find a calm place at heart．
B．One who is physically i11．
C．One who hates taking exercise．
D．People who hope to earn much money
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。

Arguments happen in every healthy relationship—we know it sounds contradictory, but it's true—but they can s till have a negative impact if they aren’t handled properly．36 Take a breath．We know that it can be hard to think clearly when you are angry，so we would
first like to encourage you to try to take a second to collect your thoughts before engaging in a dialogue with your partner．37 If you are not careful you could potentially say what might damage your relationship
Take the situation as it is．Even though you are angry and it can be hard to be objective，try to see the situation for what it is．Do not escalate(不断恶化)the argument just because your partner does．38 Try to understand the purpose behind the action-if something happened accidentally，you should not treat it as if it were done intentionally．
39 If you have done something wrong，the best possible option for you is to admit it．Denying something only makes it more hurtful and often your partner will be able to forgive you much more quickly if you are honest．
Set ground rules．After a fight you and your partner can take stock of what happened．40 AT this point you can set some ground rules for future fights，like not cussing each other or calling each other names，which might help reduce the intensity of your fights．
Fighting with someone is never easy．And it's especially difficult when you are arguing with someone that you care about．
Thinking carefully and controlling yourself during an argument can help you avoid saying something that could permanently hurt your relationship．
A．Avoid finding chances to escape．
B．Avoid making excuses．
C．Anger can be poisonous．
D．Here is how to maintain good relationship．
E．You can discuss what hurt each of you and how you can move forward．
F．The trick to preventing an argument from destroying your relationship is learning how to fight fair．
G．Ask yourself if this situation is worth arguing about．
