阅读理解（本大题共4小题，共60.0分）

• 1．I'm a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year.In the society where my peers （同龄人） and I live，we tend to accept the rat race values.As students，we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs.I enjoy studying and have consistently received A's in my classes.There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams.It was a great accomplishment（成就）.
     Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad.Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home.Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged （唠叨） him to let her go to work.Their constant arguing bothered me，so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job.He agreed，and their relationship has improved since then.
     My most proud achievement，however，is my successful work in the local old folks' home.My grandparents had raised me since I was a child.I wept （哭泣） bitterly when they died.Unlike many of my classmates，I do not take part in my school's community service to earn points.I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I'm contributing to a worthwhile cause.This is where I can help.I talk to the elderly，assist them with their daily life，and listen to their problems，glory days and the hardships they experienced.
     Last year，I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time.Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year.When I reflect on my accomplishments，I'm especially proud of my service at the old folks' home，so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future.I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it，after all.

• 2．Some English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings or different endings，such as import，export，report and transport.All these words，you can see，have the same "port" which comes from the Latin word，meaning "to carry" or "to move" from one place to another.And according to the bit at the beginning，which we call the prefix the meaning changes. "Import" means "to carry in" or "to bring into a country"； "export"， "ex" means "out of"，so this word means "to carry out of the country"； "re" means "back"，so the "report" means "to tell somebody，to bring back information to somebody"； "transport"， "trans" means "across" and it means "to carry across from one place to another".
     Letˈs look at the following words：supporter，reporter，importer and exporter.You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs plus a suffix，thus meaning a person who completes the verb.So supporter means somebody who supports.A reporter is somebody who reports.Importer is somebody who imports and exporter is somebody who exports，and so on.
  
  （1）In the first sentence the underlined word " part" means

  .
  A．different beginnings or different endings
  B．the same part that has several meanings

  .

  （3）We can get a noun

• 3．What do you do at the end of the day when you re finished with work？How you spend your free time can have a big impact（影响） on your mental health，Hobbies can help you relax and ease pent-up（郁结的） stress caused by all that time in the office or in front of the computer．But，interestingly，how you spend your free time can also impact your work performance．
     Researchers at the University of Sheffield's Institute of Work Psychology in the UK found that developing hobbies can develop your confidence about how well you perform your job．But your hobby has to be significantly different from what you do from 9-to-5 work．
     To study the connection between work and leisure（休闲） activities，researchers employed 129 people who worked and were active in hobbies like rock climbing，musical theater and singing．They had them complete surveys to see how serious and committed they were to their hobbies and how demanding their jobs were．Then，each month for seven months．participants were asked how many hours they spent on their hobbies and how they rated their ability to perform at work．
     Researchers found that if people have hobbies similar to what they do at work and that they do in an intense （强烈的） way，their on the job confidence can suffer．It's likely because their work and leisure time have the same mental and physical demands，so they 're always feeling drained．
     In contrast．people who have hobbies different from their work are happier and healthier．This is also true of those who choose a similar hobby but only participate in a lighthearted way．Those playful recreations act as a barrier between their professional and personal lives，giving them rest time to "recharge their batteries"，the researchers say．
     "When we feel like we have the confidence to handle challenges in our jobs．we're more likely to be able to build a sustainable（可持续的） job and remain healthy，productive，happy and employable over our lifetimes．It's important to consider how our leisure activities might play a role in that process，" lead researcher Ciara Kelly said in a statement．
  
  （1）Why can your hobby improve your mental health？

  
  A．It helps you to recover from your stress．
  B．It surely improve your physical strength．
  C．It enables you to behave more actively．
  D．It increases your willingness to work hard．
  （2）Which of the following is advised according to paragraph 2？

  
  A．A basketball coach goes running．
  B．A writer keeps a diary every day．
  C．An e game developer surfs the Internet．
  D．A doctor sometimes climbs rocks．
  （3）What does the underlined word "drained" in paragraph 4 probably mean？

  
  A．Worried．
  B．Tired．
  C．Unconfident．
  D．Disappointed．
  （4）How can people benefit from hobbies similar to their work？

  
  A．Take them seriously．
  B．Set strict schedules for them．
  C．Participate in them just for fun．
  D．Develop them into their business．
