She completed those classes online as she was traveling for church events and leadership meetings.She doesn’t stop there,though.The teen plans to focus on aviation psychology(航空心理学)for her further study,a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot.She grew up around airplanes and took fights all the time. Her goal is to use it to determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off—a topic that has been in the news lately.For her,it’s a mix of two of her interests.In her free time,Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis,swimming and being active in her youth group at church. She also has three self-published books,which are on her site.Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college,and in the future aims to help business owners with trends.Her third book The Genius Race,has a wider appeal.It is designed to help people to be geniuses in various areas of life.28.Which of the following is TRUE about Thessalonika?A.When she was6years old,she started homeschooling.B.She gained her master’s degree at the age of11.C.She majored in science and technology.D.In2013she got her bachelor’s degree through completing courses online.29.What is her next plan according to the passage?A.Major in aviation psychology.B.Deliver inspiring speeches for church events and leadership meetings.C.Be active in her youth group at church.D.Write another book to help people to be geniuses.30.Why does she write the book Jump the Education Barrier?A.It aims to help people to be geniuses.B.It is intended to give students a hand to complete college.C.It is designed to arouse people’s awareness of psychology.D.The author hopes to share her own experience with others.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The Story of ThessalonikaB.To be a GeniusC.Three Published BooksD.HomeschoolingDCrossing your legs is an extremely common habit;most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down.While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other,it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure.The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance,making it even harder for the blood to circulate.This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart.You won’t feel any immediate effects,but repeated,drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues.So, planning to sit for a long period of time?Don’t keep your legs crossed.“Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg.”explains Richard Graves,a medical expert.This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis(麻痹)of some of the muscles in your foot and leg,preventing you from being able to raise your ankle—what we know as that“pins and needles”sensation.While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two,repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down,try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor.Not only will it help your posture and stability,but it will also save your health in the long run.32.What can we learn about crossing one’s legs?A.It is a very bad social habit.B.It is usually practiced deliberately.C.It can do harm to people’s health.D.It can make others feel uncomfortable.33.According to the study,sitting with your legs crossed can_________.A.affect your blood pressureB.resist gravity effectivelyC.lead to heart attacks easilyD.improve the function of legs34.In the third paragraph“pins and needles”probably means“_________”.A.slight sharp painsB.being a little nervousC.serious muscle injuriesD.being highly flexible35.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To compare common habits.B.To give readers some advice.C.To evaluate effects of an experiment.D.To introduce research methods.第二节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。
