That might sound like Superman,but stuntman(特技演员)Vince Deadrick Jr.is very much human.As a stuntman in movies and television shows,Deadrick admits he’s no stranger to getting hurt.He has suffered broken bones,bled,gotten knocked out and nearly fallen to death,but he considers himself lucky to be alive after some of the stunts he has performed.Deadrick has been a stunt coordinator(协调员)for the Nickelodeon channel for12 years.He has worked with famous actors,directors and producers,and he has travelled all over the world.But that doesn’t mean his work is easy.It took him years of hard work to get where he is today.Deadrick’s father,Vince Deadrick Sr.,was also a stuntman,but his family connection didn’t give Deadrick a free pass into the movie business.He learned from his dad how to set up cardboard boxes and fall mats for high falls,and he started training on his own once he decided to follow in his father's footsteps.As a stunt coordinator,Deadrick takes danger seriously.When he hires a new stunt performer,he looks for a professional(专业人士).“You’re only as good as the people you hire,”he says.A stuntman needs to know his own abilities and limitations so he won’t shy away from doing his best but also won’t be such a daredevil(铤而走险的人)that he could hurt himself or others.When the actors and stuntmen are going to do something dangerous,they need to know they’re trusting the right person.With over40years in the business,Deadrick is an expert at making stunts both realistic and safe.Though he has a large amount of responsibility,Deadrick loves his job.“I’m in a position

started teaching students the Danish concept of hygge—said to make homes nicer and people happier.But what exactly is it?Sitting by the fire on a cold night,while petting a dog—probably surrounded by candles.That’s certainly“hygge”.Eating home­made cakes.Watching TV under a warm quilt.Tea served in a china set.Family get­togethers at Christmas.They’re all hygge too.The Danish word,pronounced“hoo­ga”,is usually translated into English as “cosiness(舒适)”.But it’s much more than that—it is an entire attitude to life that makes Denmark one of the world’s happiest countries.Morley College,in central London,is teaching students how to achieve hygge aspart of its Danish language course.“We have long,cold winters in Denmark,”says lecturer Susanne Nilsson.“That influences things.Hygge doesn’t have to be a winter­only thing,but it isn’t that fine for much of the year.”With up to17hours of darkness per day in winter,and average temperatures staying around0℃,people spend more time indoors as a result,says Nilsson,meaning there’s greater focus on home entertaining.The idea is to feel as at­home as possible,forgetting life’s worries.“Hygge works best when there’s not too large an empty space around the person or people,”Nilsson adds.The recent growth in Scandinavian­themed restaurants,cafes and bars in the UK is helping to export hygge,Nilsson says.Most customers won’t have heard of the term, but they might get a sense of it.Similarly,in the US,the wallpaper and fabric(织物)firm Hygge&West aims to channel the concept through its cheery designs,as does a Los Angeles bakery,called Hygge,which sells traditional Danish cakes and treats.Hygge is a deep­rooted tradition in Danes’life.Helen Russell,author of The Year of Living Danishly:Uncovering the Secrets of the World’s Happiest Country,says,“Hygge is so important for those who live Danishly that the other day,I saw a camper car parked by the roadside with lit candles in the windows.”8.Which can be used to explain the concept of hygge?A.It means success.B.It is a way to relax.C.It requires a large room.D.It is a candle­involved moment.9.What makes the Danish have more home life according to the text?A.The country’s climate.B.The country’s culture.C.The country’s economy.D.The country’s education.10.What do we learn about hygge in the UK and the US?A.It is ignored by the two countries’people.B.It is quite different from that in Denmark.C.It is a new trend in the two countries.D.It is related to several traditions.11.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To explain the history of hygge.B.To discuss a UK college course.C.To encourage people to live Danishly.D.To introduce a traditional Danish lifestyle.DAcademic learning is usually the focus at school,but teaching elementary­age students“soft”skills like self­control and how to get along with others might help to keep at­risk kids out of criminal trouble in the future.Once a program called Fast Track was started in the early1990s for more than 7,600children of55schools in America.They were identified by their teachers and parents to be at high risk for developing aggressive behavioral problems.The students were divided into two groups;half took part in the intervention,which included teacher­led courses,parent training groups,academic tutoring and lessons in self­control and social skills.The program,which lasted from first grade through10th grade, reduced delinquency(少年犯罪),arrests and use of health and mental health services as the students aged through their teens and young adulthood.In another latest study,by looking at the data from nearly900students in earlier findings,researchers found that about a third of the influence on future crime outcomes was due to the social and self­regulation(自我约束)skills the students learned from ages6to11.The academic skills,or hard skills like learning of physics,which were taught as part of Fast Track,turned out to have less of an influence on crime and delinquency rates than did the soft skills,which are associated with emotional intelligence.Soft skills might include teaching kids to work cooperatively in a group or teaching them how to think about the long­term consequences when they make a decision.Researchers drew the conclusion that these soft skills should be stressed even more in our education system and in our system of socializing children.Parents should do allthey can to promote these skills with their children as should education policymakers.If we can improve those skills,we can improve the outcome(结果)of delinquency.12.Fast Track was intended for children who.A.were randomly chosen from their schoolsB.had some problems with academic learningC.often went against their teachers and parents’wishesD.were considered to have criminal trouble in the future13.What can be learned about"the intervention"in Paragraph2?A.It included all the students.B.It focused on social skills.C.It improved health services.D.It had positive outcomes.pared with soft skills,hard skills.A.almost have no influence on studentsB.are more affected by students’emotionC.are mainly related to academic learningD.offer children greater self­control abilities15.Which is the best title for the passage?A.Soft Social Skills MatterB.Fast Track Helps ChildrenC.How to Prevent DelinquencyD.What to DO for Education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。
