• 2．A few years ago，I stood in a small classroom，watching a high schooler named Serena Stevenson answer math questions.An instructor read out numbers-7447，7089，9842-and Stevenson added them in her head.For each question，she closed her eyes，and then the fingers of her right hand began to move.She answered most of the problems correctly.
     The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus（算盘）.For much of that evening，Stevenson used a practice called "mental abacus"，imagining the abacus in her mind and then using her fingers to work through the problem.
     From watching Stevenson，I knew that gaining skills on the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads（珠子），so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills.I was one of the many who held some math doubts and I felt a touch of fear of math.My typical solution was simple-just escape，and if I had to calculate something like percentage change，I would go online.
     Then after a few abacus classes-and a lot of practice-math seemed a little less frightening.I hadn't become Euclid.But the practice brought my numerical fears down a level.This is long-demonstrated power of the abacus.Confidence grows easily on the device，and abacus students are less likely to be nervous about an upcoming math test，according to one study.Part of the reason，it seems，is practice and results appear to move in step，with hard work about performance.
     My kids had gained some math confidence as well.My youngest daughter would smile broadly after getting math problem correct，while my older child brought her abacus to school to show to her classmates and teachers.These were small successes.But that's how they eventually develop confidence.
  
  （1）What is the main purpose of the first paragraph？

  
  A．To prove the difficulty of math.
  B．To introduce the topic of the abacus.
  C．To suggest teaching abacus in schools.
  D．To tell an interesting story of Stevenson.
  （2）What can we infer about the writer from paragraph 3？

  
  A．He was not good at math.
  B．He had no interest in the abacus.
  C．He considered math really useful.
  D．He learned mental abacus from Stevenson.
  （3）What does the writer realize from his learning experience？

  
  A．All roads lead to Rome.
  B．Practice makes perfect.
  C．Many hands make light work.
  D．He who laughs last laughs best.
  （4）What does the underlined word "eventually" in the last paragraph probably mean？

  
  A．Finally.
  B．Thoroughly.
  C．Flexibly.
  D．Slightly.

• 3．Music is powerful when it comes to fjye.ainess.It can help prevent you from feeling uncomfortable，encourage you to push harder，and just make workouts more fun.But what it can't do？According to a research，is improving your overall performance at least not for certain sports.
     A study took a closer look at music in sports.Researchers asked 150 volunteers to throw a ball into a basket.For the first phase of the study，participants threw the ball from a fixed point.They threw the ball while listening to music of their choices，while not listening to music，or while listening to music the researcher selected.For the second phase，they were able to choose where to stand，when throwing the ball and performed the same activity with the different music choices.
     The study found that listening to music，whether it was music of the volunteers' choice or a song chosen for them，didn't make the participants more or less likely to get the ball in the basket.What it did do was make the participants more likely to take risks，especially for males who were allowed to choose their own music.In other words，music may pump you up. It may help you work out harder and longer than you would without it.But no matter what song you listen to，it won't help you get that ball into the basket.
     Another study took a look at how music tempo（节奏）might affect exercise.Researchers found that listening to high-tempo music makes people feel like they're working less while also doing more good to their bodies.The study also found that the beneficial effects of high-tempo music were greatest for people who were walking or running and were felt the least for those who were doing high-intensity（高强度）exercise such as weightlifting.
     High-tempo music has between 170-190 beats per minute.Sites like jog.It can help you find the perfect songs at the perfect tempo.Find some songs you like and start moving!
  
  （1）What were the participants forbidden to do in the first phase of the first study？

  
  A．Select their favourite music.
  B．Stand at the fixed point.
  C．Throw the ball from any point.
  D．Avoid music when throwing the ball.
  （2）What words can best explain the part "pump you up" underlined in Paragraph 3？

  
  A．Make you full of energy soon again.
  B．Make you stand out in front of others.
  C．Make you feel much better than usual.
  D．Make you more willing to do something.
  （3）In what situation should we avoid listening to high-tempo music？

  
  A．Bicycling.
  B．Weightlifting.
  C．Dancing.
  D．Running.
  （4）What should be the author's attitude towards listening to music in sports？

  
  A．Supportive.
  B．Indifferent.
  C．Doubtful.
  D．Worried.
