Secret Santa of Kansas City

In 1971 a young man who grew up very poor was traveling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself. Along the way he had 36 run out of money and was 37 to spend the night in his 38 .

This continued until one morning, after a week of 39 in his car, he walked 40 into a restaurant and 41 a big breakfast. After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself 42 to the waiter, telling him he had “lost his wallet”. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been 43 .

He 44 , and came up with a ＄20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor. “Son, you must have 45 this,” the owner said. The young man couldn’t believe his 46 ! He quickly paid for the 47 , left a tip, bought gas with the change, and headed west. On the way out of town, it dawned on him. “Maybe 48 dropped the money at all. Maybe the waiter just knew I was in 49 and he helped me in a way that didn’t 50 me.”

Now older, the man lives near Kansas City. Each year he 51 thousands of dollars, primarily in increments（递增）of ＄100. He is 52 as the “Secret Santa”, because at Christmas time each year, he personally hands 53 out to those on the street or at restaurants.

All sports people are under a lot of pressure to win, so they have to be spiritually strong. In the past, athletes only trained to get physically fit.

Today, professional sports psychologists use scientific techniques（技术）to help athletes get spiritually fit too.

British player Johnny Wilkinson described some of the pressures he had felt. He played very well at the 2020 World Cup but after that he couldn’t play well. He found that he had a terrible fear of failure. With the help of sports psychologists, he realized that reality changes depending on how we look at it and then everything went better.

In team sports, psychologists help players in different ways, one of which is to create a team spirit. “It’s very difficult to get all the players to think in the same way, but when you see a team that works as a unit, everything happens naturally and easily, ” said Professor Dave Collins, a sports psychologist.

When there is a team spirit, the players all take responsibility and don’t blame individual players for mistakes. In this way ,they feel more confident and can concentrate better. Sometimes players are under a lot of pressure in a game. For example, a player may have to take a penalty kick. To reduce his fear of making a mistake, sports psychologists use a method called visualization（可视化）. Psychologists simply ask players to imagine taking a perfect penalty. When players do this, certain areas of the brain become active. An interesting fact is that they are the same areas of the brain as when the player takes the real penalty.

Today sports psychologists have an important job to do. They help athletes become spiritually fit and develop a winning mentality（必胜信念）. Having

a winning mentality can really make a difference between winning and losing.

56. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. All sports people were mentally unhealthy in the past.

B. Sports psychologists can control athletes’ mind in the match.

C. Wrong views on success have bad effects on athletes’ spiritual health.

D. Some scientific methods have replaced traditional trainings.

57. Wilkinson felt better as he realized that_________.

A. everything was changing and was difficult to expect

B. things turned to be good when we looked at it differently

C. psychology was very important to an athlete like him

D. it was unnecessary for him to control his mind

58. What’s the importance of a team spirit according to the text?

A. It can increase players’ sense of responsibility.

B. It guarantees the perfect performance of everyone.

C. It controls the athletes’ mind when necessary.

D. It makes all athletes more skillful during a match.

59. It can be inferred from the text that_________

A. sports psychologists always ask athletes to use their imagination

B. the spirits of a psychologist can decide the outlook of a team

C. athletes need to play with psychologists to improve their skills

D. an active attitude usually helps players do better in real action

2019-2020学年度第一学期高二英语周练试卷(含答案)

2019-2020学年度第一学期高二英语周练试卷第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to call a friend and ask for a ride, and half the time they’ll say, “Sorry, my car is full.” But with Twitter, you just tweet #Ashleys Pool Party and look for other people heading the same way. It may sound risky, but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter. For me, I only rideshare with people I know, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern. The sharing economy got big during the recession（经济衰退）. It allows people to access more goods and services using technology, while also allowing them to share cost. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom. According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license. Today it’s six in ten. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license. All I wanted was an iPhone. Juliet Schor (Sociology professor at Boston College) knows people of my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus. To me, another plus is ridesharing represents something more than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter. 21 The writer usually rideshares with _____. A. anyone heading the same way B. people he knows

Such children are known37“home-schoolers”. Some parents prefer teaching their children at home 38 they do not believe schools teach the correct religious (宗教的) 39 ; others believe they can provide a better educational 40 for their children by doing so. 41 , results show home-schooled children often do better than 42 on national tests in reading and math. David teaches his three children at home. He 43 that his children learn very differently from children in school. Learning starts with the children’s44 and questions. For example, when there is snowfall on a winter day, it may 45 a discussion about climate, snow removal 46 , Alaska, etc. Or a spring evening when the family is out 47 the stars is a good time to ask questions about the sky.

Critics also say that most parents are not 53 to teach their children. However, most parents don’t have the time or the 54 to teach their children at home, so schools will continue to be 55 most children get their formal education. 36.

2017-2018学年高二年级周练二英语试卷

江西省安义中学2017-2018学年度上学期高二英语第二次周练试卷第一节阅读理解 Life is not easy in senior high school. You’ve got the pressure of studies and exams. From time to time, you may feel depressed and frustrated. When depression strikes, you have to take measures to fight it. One of the strangest ways to fight depression is to eat salt, scientists have found. Salt acts as a natural anti—depressant (抗抑郁剂), researchers say. While too much can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) d epressions”, a study has reported. The study, by researchers at the University of Iowa in the US, discovered that when rats are deficient in salt, they don’t do activities they normally enjoy. The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams, although experts say the body needs only half as much. However, most adults in the developed world consume（消耗）around ten grams a day, mainly because their diets contain high salt amounts. Today, 77 percent of US salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods, like frozen dinners and fast food. The minerals in salt are required by the body—in small quantities—to help move liquid in and out of cells. But too much can cause diseases, for example high blood pressure. Today scientists are finding that salt is an addictive substance—almost like a drug. One s ign of addiction is using a substance even when it’s known to be harmful. Many people are told to eat less salt due to health concerns, but they have trouble doing so because they like the taste and find low-salt foods tasteless. Humans have a long histor y of eating salt. In the Stone Age, people didn’t need to find salt, because they hunted most of their food, and ate a lot of red meat, which has plenty of salt in it. But when people began to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and wheat, and very little meat. Then they had to find another way to get salt. 1. What does the underlined word "deficient" in the third paragraph mean? A. enough B. far from enough C. more than enough D. plenty 2. The major role of salt is to ____________. A. help the body work well B. help fight against depression C. help people get rid of an addiction to drugs D. help people enjoy sugary substances 3. Which of the following statements is true? A. People have trouble reducing salt because they don't know it is harmful to eat too much of it. B. Before 10,000 BC, human beings did not need salt. C. The richer the country is, the more salt is eaten there. D. Taking more than 4 grams of salt a day can be harmful for an adult's health. 4. What kind of food should people eat more of? A. Frozen food B. Fast food C. Red meat D Low--salt food 第二节：七选五 Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes(刻板印象) or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail? At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒)．__5__ Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green－eyed monster” and the UK is its home. Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money.__6__ Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others— but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this. __7__. But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world's fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either. “It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.” _8__ They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires.__9__ It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them. A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain. B. The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.
