21、Most of us have heard the term "runner's high," but what exactly does this mean? Exercise creates chemical responses in the brain, which lead to both temporary and long-term mental health benefits. Here is how it works:

What happens when we are stressed?

●Cortisol（皮质醇）: This stress hormone is linked to mood, motivation and fear. It also alters immune system responses and suppresses the digestive system.

●Adrenaline（肾上腺素）: This stress hormone raises your heart rate, elevates blood pressure, and boosts energy stores.

●Hypothalamus（下丘脑）: This region of the brain is the body's natural alarm system which stimulates the production of cortisol and adrenaline.

●Hippocampus（海马体）: Too much cortisol cuts cell production in the brain's hippocampus region, damaging thought organization and memory formation.

Feeling overwhelmed? Hit the gym!

As your heart begins to pound, your brain chemistry reacts almost immediately to get you feeling better both physically and mentally.

You can also spot  whales and other wildlife, visit the famous Denali National Park, enjoy the landscapes and even learn about the roughly 20 different native languages Spoken there

New York City

You definitely don't want to be chasing after your shopaholic teens in Manhattan, so plan your trip to____Apple when the kids are still young enough to enjoy the family-friendly trips!

23、When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.

People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals.

One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?

Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.

Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing. After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.

Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A. The influence of confidence on one’s life.

B. The importance of confidence to success.

C. The difference of people’s confidence.

D. The judgment on one’s confidence.

【2】Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those _____.

A. who think their goals are hard to reach

B. who expect to give guidance to others

C. who want to ask the boss for a raise

D. who dream to be recognized experts

【3】What does the underlined word indispensable in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. important B. attractive

C. outgoing D. energetic

【4】What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?

A. To overlook one’s disadvantages.

B. To make full use of one’s advantages.

C. To have great confidence in one’s abilities.

D. To make objective evaluations of one’s abilities.

25、To some people, the dictionary was a volume of truth and wisdom. To others, the dictionary is a thing you picked up in the bargain bin because you felt that an adult should_______ a dictionary. They don’t realise that the dictionary is a human document, ______ being edited, proof-read, and updated by actual, living, awkward people.

In Springfield, Massachusetts, there are a couple dozen lexicographers who spend their workweek doing nothing but_______ dictionary definitions—for Memam-Webster, to be exact. This is the song of my people.

At Merriam-Webster, there are only two_____ requirements to be a lexicographer: You must have a degree in any field from a four-year college or university, and you must be a native speaker of English.

People are surprised to hear that we don’t require lexicographers to be linguists（语言学家）or English______. The reality is that a group of people with _______education backgrounds will produce better definitions.

We require that our lexicographers be native speakers of English for a very ______ reason: That5s the language we focus on, and you need mastery over all its idioms and expressions.

There are some additional _____and unstated requirements to be a lexicographer. First and foremost, you must be possessed of something called sprachgefuhl, a German word that means “a feeling for language.” Not everyone has sprachgefiihl, and you don’t know if you are possessed of it until you are knee-deep in the English language. I use “possessed of ’ _____ : You will never have sprachgefiihl, but rather sprachgefuhl will have you, like a Teutonic imp (小恶魔）that settles itself at the base of your skull and hammers at your head every time you read something like “crispy-fried rice” on a(n) _____ . The imp will dig its nails into your brain, and instead of ordering take-out Chinese, you will be ____at the take-out counter, wondering if “crispy-fried rice” refers to plain rice that has been fried or to the dish known as “fried rice” but perhaps prepared in a new and exciting way. That hyphen, you think, could just be misuse, or ... And your Teutonic imp squeezes its claws a little harder.

You must also be suited to sitting in near ______ for eight hours a day and working entirely alone. There will be other people in the office but you will have almost no contact with them. _______, you are warned of this over and over again.

When I interviewed for my first job, I met with Fred Mish, Merriam-Webster's then editor-in- chief. He cast an eye over my resume and asked with some doubt if I enjoyed interacting with people, because if I did, then I should understand this job promised ______of the sort. “Office chitchat of the sort you’re likely used to,” he said, “does not ______ good lexicography (词典编纂）and doesn’t happen.”
