When Mrs. Gabica went out of the teaching building after finishing the last class in her career, she saw a lot of pupils on the playground, wearing uniform clothing, like an activity of celebrating the coming Teachers’ Day. Before realizing what happened, she was presented a bunch of flowers by two pupils and led to the playground. Then the loving words “Thank you. Wish you health and peace!” from the broadcast wafted (飘荡) over the playground. As she stood in the middle of the playground, teachers switched on an iPod and around 350 schoolchildren, aged three to seven, broke into a specially designed formation. The teacher was moved to tears when pupils broke into a flash mob dance to mark her final day after 25 years.
In fact, taking her health into account, the leadership of the school has advised Mrs. Gabica to retire from school many times, but she refused firmly. Despite having diabetes in 2011, suffering from pain after being hit by a car in 2014 and even having a sick son to care for many years, Mrs. Gabica persevered in teaching and staying with her pupils. If she did not come to the age for retirement, she would be bound to stay with her pupils because she has a deep love for her career. Her pupils spent three weeks learning their routine to The Lion King’s He Lives in You, which was one of the music lover’s favorites, being careful not to let their secret out of the bag. Obviously, Mrs. Gabica wasn’t prepared for such a memorable send-off.
The headteacher Luke Mansfield said，“It was a wonderful way to celebrate all that Mrs. Gabica has done for the school. Since posting it we have had so many messages from former pupils who remember their happy times in her class. It’s a testament to the hard work and I think she deserves everything that she receives.”
25. Which words can best describe the scene of the send-off?

C. Sorrowful and unforgettable. D. Educational and memorable.
26. Mrs. Gabica had to end her career because of ________.

University can be the most sociable time of your life. For most students, social media is the glue that holds packed social diaries together. Facebook will let you know if a game is cancelled, Twitter can promote your DJ set in 140 characters, and your Instagram account will remind you when there are new photos.
These tools have made the world increasingly connected, and most students wouldn’t consider shunning them at such a sociable stage of their lives. But social media is by no means a requirement at university, and many do without.
“I’m a private person and don’t feel the need to share everything with everybody I know,” says Caty Forster, 20, a student at the University of Manchester, who has never used Facebook or Twitter. Despite social media’s benefits, Forster is largely indifferent. Bethany Elgood, 25, stopped using Facebook after she discovered she had developed a bit of an anxiety towards the social media platforms that contain lots of personal details.”
I quit Facebook when I was 13. I left because, not only was I bored of passively involved in its Newsfeed, I was also experiencing anxiety. To me, Facebook meant clicking and nosing around people’s lives.
People would ask, “How do you keep in touch with people?” and “Won’t you miss out anything important?” I was in agreement with Forster, who says, “I never feel like I’m missing out too much. I don’t feel like I’d have anything valuable to share or gain from it.”
Adrienne Jolly, a careers advisor at UEA, says, “It’s hard to prove reliable statistics on social media. But it’s generally accepted that social media networks are pretty influential in this process—for better or worse.”
You might decide quitting social media isn’t practical in the long run. However, if its ugly side is bringing you down, why not consider taking leave? By doing so, I gained confidence and a strong connection with reality.[:]

Many runners and gym members feel that music makes exercise more enjoyable. However, they might not know that scientists have found that some kinds of music can improve people’s energy by 15%. This was discovered by Costas Karageorghis at Brunel University’s School of Sport and Education in London. Karageorghis has worked with organizations like Nike and with many champion athletes. In the study, 30 people listened to inspiring music by Queen, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Madonna. They did exercise at the same time.
When they were doing exercise in time with the music, people showed higher energy levels. Even when they were doing very hard exercise, they were positive about how they felt. When people are doing exercise, their nerves send messages saying that their body is getting tired. However, when they are listening to music at the same time, these messages are blocked. Karageorghis thinks this is because the music causes part of the brain to send different messages to the body that make it feel happy and relaxed.
Karageorghis’ work shows that different types of music can have different effects on different people. The effect of some music can also depend on how tiring the exercise is. Karageorghis said that outgoing people prefer faster and louder kinds of music compared to reserved people. This is because, for the music to have an effect, the brains of outgoing people need more stimulation than the brains of reserved people. Reserved people want to feel less worried and so have better results when the music makes them feel relaxed.
Karageorghis was asked to provide music for the “Run to the Beat” half marathon in the UK. “I have lots of other exciting projects that I am working on.” said Karageorghis. One of these is to find out if the speed of the music we listen to has an effect on our heart rate while we exercise.
33. Why do people feel less tired when they exercise with music?
A. Music makes people’s muscles relax.
B. The brain blocks the part that sends messages.
C. Positive messages instead of ones about feeling tired are sent to the body.
D. Their nerves stop sending messages to the body in the process.
34. According to Paragraph 3, which statement is TRUE?
A. Reserved people do not want to be stimulated.
B. Relaxing music worked better with reserved people.
C. Outgoing people feel less worried about their lives than reserved people.
D. Louder, faster music had a better effect during exhausting exercise.
35. The passage is mainly written ______.
A. to recommend different types of music for different people
B. to report on a study about how music can improve energy levels
C. to explore the different effects that different types of music have on people
D. to describe our brains when we exercise while listening to musicZxxkCom
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。
No matter who you are, where you live, how much you make, your life is on a certain path. It is similar to a train in a track. You know there are going to be many ups and downs. 36
If you like where you’re headed, you can sit back and enjoy the ride. 37 The only solution is to change you destination. It means you have to jump on a whole new set of tracks. But how do you do that?
There is one way to change direction to create a better, fuller, richer life: incremental(递增的) change. 38 You can easily improve anything in your life by means of incremental change.
39 It’s making small and continuous progress toward a desired goal. It’s paying $50 a month toward your $3,000 of credit card debt. It’s cutting your nightly dessert or taking the stairs to burn a few extra calories.
Incremental change is not difficult at all. 40 Your 20-minute afternoon walk will help you become healthier. The problem with incremental change for most people is that it’s too slow. But small and continuous actions tend to create small and continuous improvements.
A. It’s that simple.
B. What is incremental change?
C. Keep doing exactly what you’ve been doing.
D. Writing a page a day will finally lead to a book.
E. But is there a way to create much faster change?
F. But you can easily figure out where you’ll end up.
G. But what if you see where you’re going and you don’t like it?
