21、 In 2003, Mary Marggraff was a 47-year-old California mother, devoted to school committees and car pool schedules. But after losing her trusty notebook and buying a new one, she had an inspiration.
“It was blank," says Marggraff, now 64. “What else could I fill it with?" Soon she was thinking about her childhood love of flying, and next thing she knew, she determined to register in flight school. “In my first class, all the students were single men half my age. I felt like a housemother attending a fraternity (兄弟会),but I loved it too much to walk away." she says.
Marggraff earned her first pilot's license in 2005. Six years and four additional licenses later, her addiction to being in the air changed into something grander: a desire to go to space. To move closer to her starry dreams, Marggraff got a part-time job as a mission support representative at Virgin Galactic, Richard Branson's commercial space line. In that role, she attended space related gatherings where she educated people about the future of universe voyages. Though space tourism isn't quite a reality yet, Marggraff has already begun space training in expectation of being on one of Virgin's early flights. "I've completed acceleration force exercises, she says, "which require getting inside a machine, spinning around at 2,500 miles per hour, and trying not to black out."
Marggraff^ training has meant more than getting her wings --- it's expanded her sense of what the future may hold. "It turns out I'm capable of much more than I imagined," she says. "I used to think it'd be a miracle if I got my first license. Now I've completed nearly 1,000 hours of flight! I'm rotten in the kitchen and I burn anything I iron, but if you need someone to land a plane, call me."
【1】Why did Marggraff register in flight school?
A.To break away from car pool schedules.
B.To fill her new blank notebook.
C.To prove women are equal to men in flying.
D.To pursue her childhood dream of flying.
【2】What did Marggraff do after earning 5 licenses?
A.She got into space on one of Virgin's early flights.
B.She instructed people in how to make universe voyages.
C.She received space training in preparation for space tourism.
D.She tried in vain to overcome faintness from high speed.
【3】What does Marggraff benefit from her space training besides getting a license?
A.It proves her a miracle. B.It increases her self-confidence.
C.It wins her a qualification. D.It improves her imagination.
【4】Which of the following words can best describe Marggraff?
A.Aggressive and hopeful. B.Creative and fragile.
C.Energetic and sensitive. D.Considerate and persistent.
22、A Hungarian doctor is advising her lung disease patients to consider a non-traditional form of treatment: singing! And not just singing while making dinner or washing up at night. As part of their treatment, she wants her patients to sing in public as part of a choir (合唱队)!
The Reuters news agency reports that a new choir named “Breathing for the soul” was formed earlier this year. The group recently performed in the ballroom of a hotel in Budapest. The members of the choir come from all across Hungary. Many are sick with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (慢性阻塞性肺病), more commonly called COPD.
Speaking with Reuters, the choir members explained how singing has improved the quality of their lives. Seventy-four-year-old Maria Aranyi has been suffering with serious asthma, a breathing disorder, for over 10 years. Aranyi said that she never thought in her life that she would ever sing. But now, singing in the choir provides relief from what she call the “gray days”. She added that after singing she noticed that she could also breathe more easily.
Many lung disease patients and others with chronic disorders can become less involved with other people as they grow older. They may be unwilling to go to new places or to try new things. Over time if this continues, they can become more and more lonely.
Singing with others can be a way to break the cycle of loneliness. Singing with others is not easy. It takes a lot of practice and offers a challenge—both physical and mental. But the result—hearing your voice blend and harmonize with others—can be truly uplifting. And for most people, singing in a group is easier than singing alone. There is strength and a sense of well-being in numbers.
【1】What should the patients do according to the doctor’s suggestion?
A.Join the hospital choir.
B.Say no to singing along.
C.Try some new treatment.
D.Refuse conventional treatments.
【2】How did singing benefit Aranyi?
A.It gave her lungs a good workout.
B.She became fond of live performances.
C.It provided her with more leisure time.
D.She felt more enthusiastic about music.
【3】What does the underlined word “blend” mean in the last paragraph?
A.Rise.
B.Combine.
C.Become clearer.
D.Grow louder.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A.Breaking The Silence
B.Singing For Harmony
C.Breathing For The Soul
D.Involving Singing Together
23、On New Year’s Day 2023, I had a panic attack at work. Unfortunately for me, that meant in front of millions of people, as I was delivering the news, live, on ABC’s Good Morning America. In the wake of my nationally televised panic, I learned that I had undiagnosed depression. For months, I’d been having trouble getting out of bed in the morning and felt as if I had an everlasting low-grade fever.
Two things changed my mind. The first was the science. In recent years, there has been an explosion of research into meditation (冥想), which has been shown to reduce blood pressure, improve recovery after your body releases the stress hormone cortisol (荷尔蒙皮质醇), strengthen the immune system, and relieve the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Studies also show meditation can reduce violence in prisons, increase productivity in the workplace, and improve both the behavior and the grades of schoolchildren.
The second thing that changed my mind about meditation is that it does not necessarily take a lot of the magic stuff I feared it might. Contrary to popular belief, meditation does not have to involve folding yourself into a roll, joining a group, or wearing special dress. The word meditation is a little bit like the world sports; there are hundreds of varieties. The type of meditation discussed here is called mindfulness meditation, which is acquired from Buddhism but does not require adopting a belief system ór declaring oneself to be a Buddhist.
I began my practice slowly, with just five to ten minutes a day, which is what I recommend everyone aim for at the start. I have learned that the less delighted you are by the voice in your head, the more you can make room for entirely new thoughts and feelings to appear. In sum, meditation enables you to tap into what lies beneath or beyond the ego (自我). Call it creativity. Call it your original wisdom. Some people call it your heart.
【1】What can the author’s profession possibly be?
A.Reporter.
B.Editor.
C.TV broadcaster.
D.Radio host.
【2】What changed the author’s mind about meditation?
A.It can lower blood pressure.
B.It can reduce depression and anxiety.
C.It can improve students’ behavior and performance.
D.It is scientific and without much fantastic frightening things.
【3】What’s the difference between popular belief and mediation?
A.Mediation is free from various chains and forms.
B.Meditation doesn’t need to fold someone into a roll.
C.Meditation is more like the world sports than popular belief.
D.Meditation requires someone to join a group or wear special dress.
【4】How do you make yourself more creative according to the last paragraph?
A.Keep your mind clean.
B.Keep a quiet environment.
C.Practice mediation slowly.
D.Tap something beneath or beyond the ego.
