2．Twice every month，Miranda Sam，a 66-year-old Ghanaian，visited the China Traditional Herbal Hospital，a private herbal facility at Pokuase，a suburb of the Ghanaian capital，for treatment.
"I was squeezing lemons，and when I finished，I could not get up or even move my legs，so I went to the hospital and did an X-ray examination，but they saw nothing.Meanwhile，I could not walk and was in a wheelchair，" the retired worker said.Hence Miranda decided to visit the herbal facility. "On two occasions，I had to do acupuncture （针灸），and I have found great relief.Now I walk unaided，so I keep coming for treatment，" she said.
As Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM）is gaining popularity in Ghana，many acupuncture clinics run by Chinese doctors pop up in the country.However，the China Traditional Herbal Hospital was established by 52-year-old Ghanaian business owner Bediako，after his fruitful encounter with the effects of TCM in 2012.With the help of a Chinese lady，Bediako set up a small clinic specializing in TCM.Years on，the facility has subsequently grown into a bigger herbal hospital.The hospital treats patients with a combination of local and Chinese herbal formulas.It supports this with the application of traditional Chinese medical methods.
Strokes （中风） account for 1.3 percent of all hospital admissions in Ghana，and 6.3 percent of all hospital deaths.But Bediako is confident that as more people with these conditions turn to the natural methods of healing，the pain and death rates would subside. "A gentleman was brought here three weeks ago，who could not sit，stand，or walk.He was first taken through acupuncture.I observed him on camera 30 minutes later，squatting （蹲），standing，and walking.You come here with your pain but will leave with a smile.That is our feature，" he said.
The hospital has started a second facility in Ashaiman near the capital，with plans to open other branches across the country to meet the growing demand.

3．Most people hate change，which is sad since we often go through intense changes in life.And for some of us，even the smallest changes can upset our day.So the question is：Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard？
Fear of change is nothing new.Over a century ago，the Parisians were unhappy over a particular addition to their city：the Eiffel Tower.In fact，the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested its construction.As strange as it may seem，their anger was completely natural.They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made，so they became angry.
But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter and think about them carefully.Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make：which school to attend，which job to take，whom to marry.Voluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we don't know how those changes will affect our future.
People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger associated with change is to be flexible.When they are flexible，people can adapt to new situations more easily.Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before.Those who oppose change，especially with technology in the workplace，may find themselves out of a job.
When change comes，and you have no choice but to face it，embrace it.A positive attitude helps a lot.In fact，the change may turn out to be the best thing for you.That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one.You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to.Don't merely focus on how you feel about change；instead decide to accept the change.The change is the reality，and it's up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know-your next change may be your life's Eiffel Tower!
（1）Why did the building of the Eiffel Tower make the Parisians unhappy？
A．Because they didn't like the design of the Eiffel Tower.
B．Because they couldn't avoid accepting the Eiffel Tower.
C．Because it was no use building the Eiffel Tower.
D．Because the Eiffel Tower seemed strange.
（2）How should we overcome negative emotions that the changes bring？
A．We are not supposed to face the changes and let them alone.
B．We should actively accustom ourselves to the new circumstance.
C．We should not take the changes seriously and avoid them as much as possible.
D．We should know that the changes merely bring us bad influence.
（3）What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean？
A．The change will probably make you fail like the Eiffel Tower.
B．The change is like the Eiffel Tower which is not good for our future life.
C．Your future life is never known just like the Eiffel Tower unknown to the Parisians.
D．Your future life is likely to be a great achievement due to the change.
（4）What is the best title for the passage？
A．The Psychology of Change
B．The ways to Overcome the Fear
C．Changes That Disturb Us
D．The Bad Effect of Changes组卷：3引用：1难度：0.3 -
4．Suppose you meet a person for the first time who comes from a distant country but is fluent in your language.Would you adapt the tone of your voice，or the spacing of pauses in your speech？Would you adjust your body language and facial expressions，depending on the background of the person in front of you？
These are just a handful of the shifts in behavior that can contribute to what is known as your "cultural intelligence"，or CQ. "The number one predictor of your success in today's borderless world is not your IQ，or not even your expertise （专长）， " writes social scientist David Livermore in his book The Cultural Intelligence Difference. "It's your CQ. "
Typically CQ is measured through a series of questions that assess four distinct components.The first is "CQ Drive"-the motivation to learn about other cultures.Then there is "CQ Knowledge"，which is an understanding of some of the general cultural differences you may face. "CQ Strategy" examines how you make sense of those difficult conflicts and learn from them，while "CQ Action" involves your behavioral flexibility-whether you are able to adapt your conduct like a cultural chameleon.
"While understanding a specific culture can be useful，it may not predict at all your ability to engage effectively in a new place，" says Livermore. "In fact，our research finds that individuals who have lived in multiple locations for extended time are more likely to have higher CQ Knowledge than those who have lived multiple decades in one overseas setting. "
Someone with low CQ might have a tendency to judge everyone else's behavior by his own cultural standards.If he comes from a more sociable environment，for instance，and notices that his Japanese colleagues are very quiet in a meeting，he may assume that they are being unfriendly or bored.A person at the top of the scale，meanwhile，might realize that silence is a sign of respect and that feedback won't be given unless it is explicitly required.As a result，he'll make sure to offer suitable opportunities within the meeting for others to provide their opinions.
（1）Which of the following best describes "a cultural chameleon"？
A．Learning from other cultures to have a high CQ.
B．Taking action to overcome the communication barrier.
C．Changing behavior according to the cultural background.
D．Getting along well with others despite cultural differences.
（2）What is the best way to get high CQ Knowledge？
A．Experiencing a variety of different cultures.
B．Spending a long time in a specific culture.
C．Talking with people from a distant country.
D．Living with people in another culture.
（3）What kind of people do the "Japanese colleagues" represent？
A．People with low CQ.
B．People with high CQ.
C．People from a different culture.
D．People from a sociable environment.
（4）Whom is the text mainly intended for？
A．Those who are going to be a social scientist.
B．Those who want to learn about CQ Knowledge.
C．Those who conduct some research on CQ and IQ.
D．Those who interact with people from different cultures.组卷：5引用：1难度：0.3

5．If you're a beginning runner，see if this sounds familiar：You start a run eager to get fitter.Within minutes，you're breathing hard，with a burning feeling in your chest and throat and your legs feeling weak.（1）
The following tips can help increase your endurance and speed while also enjoying yourself.
Avoid that too-fast start.You'll never see an experienced runner going faster in the first few minutes of his or her run than at any other point.The start-fast-then-fade pattern is typical for new runners.（2）This usually leads to injury and an interruption in the running routine you work hard to develop.But if that enthusiasm can be redirected toward the middle of a run，it'll make for a better experience.
Bring a focus to the brejye.aih.At the outset，breathing is the best tool for new runners.For the first month，run until your breathing just starts to get fast，then walk until it recovers，and repeat.（3）If you have someone to run with，it should be easy to speak in full sentences at this effort level.If you run by yourself，you should be able to sing along to your favorite song without your breathing getting out of control.
（4）But all runners should avoid leaning too heavily on the data from GPS watches and other gadgets （配件）.That's especially the case for new runners，who have little context to make sense of the numbers they're seeing.（5）
A.It doesn't have to be this way.
B.Make adjustments to your pace based on the data.
C.You'll make more progress by simply slowing down.
D.Know technology works for you，not the other way around.
E.You're excited，so you begin your run with full enthusiasm.
F.Over time，you'll find that you can run for longer periods at that breathing rate.
G.The thinking that you totally understand your body via data is a common source of injury.组卷：2引用：1难度：0.5
