Ways to create calm in your daily life

Most of us need some space for calm in our lives. A few simple minutes can create much needed moments of calm.【1】 You can use these skills to create calm in your busy schedule.

Go walking. Walking is perfect and you can do it well anywhere. Simply walking and taking in the view is stress reducing. 【2】 It makes room for new ideas to take root.

Appreciate nature. When we think of nature we think of getting out into the open air, and that’s great if you can. 【3】 Actually , nature is everywhere. Find a park or a small patch(小塊地) of great green, or just stick your head out of the window! You have many ways to appreciate nature.

Listen to music. Many people listen to music to calm themselves down. Music actually lifts us out of ourselves. Discover what music works for you. 【4】

Do some activities. Certain activities like yoga and tai chi need quiet focus. 【5】 They are good for the body, mind and spirit. Classes are a good place to begin, but once you learn the skills, you can practice anywhere: home, school or even on the road.

B. But what if you are in the city?

E. Music is a way to express the way that they are feeling.

F. With enjoyable music even work can be “music to your ears”.

G. You don’t have to find a mountain to sit on, or empty your mind of all thoughts for hours.

【答案】

【1】G

【2】D

【3】B

【4】F

【5】C

【解析】試題分析：本文主要講的是如何在日常生活中創(chuàng)造平靜。

【1】G考查上下文理解。根據(jù)空前的內(nèi)容“A few simple minutes can create much needed moments of calm.”可知這里說的是簡單的幾分鐘就可以創(chuàng)造一種心靈的寧靜。所以空里應該填創(chuàng)造寧靜的簡單性。G項最符合我們的要求。

【2】D考查上下文理解。根據(jù)空前的關鍵詞stress reducing“減輕壓力”以及后面的makes room“騰出空間”可知這里是將有壓力的想法騰出你的腦子。

【3】B考查上下文理解。根據(jù)空后的“Actually, nature is everywhere.”可知這里是個小轉折。所以空里應該填入的是與空前的情況不太相符的內(nèi)容。前面說的是到大自然中去，這里填入的是如果你住在城市該怎么辦。

【4】F考查上下文理解。根據(jù)空前的關鍵詞music定位到E項和F項。E項與前文沒有聯(lián)系，前文并沒有提到express feelings。因此F項更合適。

【5】C考查上下文理解。根據(jù)空后的句式“They are…”定位到C項�？涨罢f的是瑜伽和太極等運動。他們對運動的寧靜很有益處。因此選C。

【題目】In the history of Hawaii, surfing is a serious thing. Ancient leaders used the sport as a training exercise to keep themselves strong. They also used surfing competitions instead of wars to solve conflicts between people. For a long time ,this tradition of surfing was known mainly to the people of Hawaii. Then Duke Kahanamoku came along and changed the world.

When he was 21years old, Duke broke two world swimming records. Not surprisingly, Duke easily made the Olympic swimming team in 1912.During his Olympic career, Duke won three gold medals and two silver medals in swimming.

When Duke finished winning medals at the Olympics, he toured the world. He also brought along his surfboard. Duke had been surfing ever since he was a little boy. In 1917,he rode a single wave for more than a mile! Duke amazed people by riding his 16-foot-long board. He is considered the father of modern surfing.

Since Duke was handsome and strong, people loved to watch him. His next career move was clear. Duke headed for Hollywood. From 1925 to 1955,he made more than 30 movies.

One day in 1925, Duke and a few other surfers were hanging out on the beach when a boat turned over not far from them. The surfers hit the waves with their big boards and saved 12 of the passengers. Duke alone saved eight of them! After that, lifeguards at beaches started using surfboards to save swimmers. Helping others was a big thing in Duke’s life.

In 1932,Duke became sheriff(治安官)of Honolulu, Hawaii, holding the position for almost 30 years. As sheriff, in fact, his job was to greet visitors who came to the city .From the Olympics to Hollywood, Duke Kahanamoku had put Hawaii on the map when it was still a little known island.

When he was 75 years old, Dukes name was added to both the Swimming Hall of Fame and the Surfing Hall of Fame. He died in 1968 at the age of 78.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。

"Have you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you.?" asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh. "There is certainly a lot of energy in waves," he said. Scientists are working to use that energy to make electricity. Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. "The wind starts out by making little ripples (漣漪), but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves," Taylor said. "Waves are one of nature's ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey." When waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (渦輪機). The turbine can then power an electrical generator to produce electricity.

"The resource is huge," said Janet Swain of the World Watch Institute. "We will never run out of wave power." Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal. Oceans cover three-quarters of the Earth's surface---that would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak points yet to overcome.

Swain said that wave power still costs too much money. She also said that its effects on sea animals are still unknown. What is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic. Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out. "Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world," Swain said. In the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!

【1】The underlined phrase "picking up" is closest in meaning to ______.

A. starting again B. speeding up

C. improving D. gathering

【2】We can make better use of wave energy if we ______.

A. shorten its journey to thousands of homes

B. build more small power stations on the oceans

C. reduce the cost of turning it into electric power

D. quicken the steps of producing electricity

【3】It can be inferred that some day we might not worry about ______.

A. our power supply B. our boat traffic

C. air pollution D. our supply of sea fish
