【題目】The East Room of the White House was bursting with color on July 14, as 56 young cooks arrived for the Kids’ Stale Dinner. The chefs, aged from 8 to 12, were winners of the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge, a program that encourages kids to create healthy, affordable, original, and tasty lunch recipes.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama hosted the event, now in its fifth year and part of her Let’s Move! More than 1,200 kids throughout America entered the challenge, were encouraged to be creative and use ingredients (原料) grown in their home states, or communities. Recipes had to represent each of the food groups by including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat dairy. The 56 winners were treated to a meal featuring some of their own creations.

“This event isn’t just about eating well today, but about setting kids like all of you up for a lifetime of healthy choices.” the former first lady told the young cooks. “As small you are, you can change lives. I see the work of kids, the magic you all do. People change because of kids.”

Amelie Chen’s winning recipe was Breadfruit, Taro, and Garlic Chicken Trio. The 9-year-old from American Samoa said she was “very excited” to be attending the event. “Winning this trip to the White House makes me think of my favorite quote from Walt Disney: ‘If you can dream it, you can do it,’” she said.

Famous cooks Rachaels Ray and Tanya Steel, editorial director of Clean Plates Omnimedia, a media company focusing on health and wellness food culture, were also in attendance. Michelle recognized them as driving forces in making the Kids’ State Dinner a reality several years ago. Ray and Steel posed for pictures with the young cooks.

Following the meal, the crowd was treated to performances by the cast of Walt Disney World Resort’s The Jungle Book. The 56 winners ended their visit with a tour of the White House Kitchen Garden.

【解析】這是一篇時文報道類文章。7月14號，the Kids’ Stale Dinner在The East Room of the White House舉行，56名小廚師參加。文章介紹了有關(guān)這次活動的信息。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段中的More than 1,200 kids throughout America entered the challenge, were encouraged to be creative and use ingredients (原料) grown in their home states, or communities可知，全美國的1200多個孩子參加了這次挑戰(zhàn)，他們被鼓勵使用自己家鄉(xiāng)或社區(qū)里種植的原料來進行創(chuàng)造性的烹飪。故A選項正確。

【題目】從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Advice for High School Students
As a person who is graduating from high school very soon, I have some suggestions for students in high school or students who are soon going to be high school students. I am sure others can benefit from reading them and will not make similar mistakes like me.
Do not value first impression highly. Don't dismiss a person or an idea too early just because you immediately get a bad impression. You will miss many opportunities because of that.
Although something seems bad at the first impression, it does not mean it is bad all the time. Try to give everything a fair chance.
Don't try to please everybody. There is no way you can please everybody or get everybody to agree with you. It is a huge waste of time.
Have respect for authority. No matter how much you may dislike them, just remember that teachers and parents care about you and they are only doing their jobs. Don't argue with them and just obey them.
Realize a high school is not the real world. The real world isn't a closed environment. What is rewarded in high school such as popularity and agreement is different from what is rewarded in the real world. If high school isn't working out for you, you may find yourself better at handling the real world.
A. Do not be too quick to judge.
B. So just learn to say the word “No” a lot.
C. Listen to their advice and consider it carefully.
D. Many of these are based on regrets that I have.
E. Bad habits are hard to break and remain with you for a long time.
F. Don't spend any effort trying to please others who will never like you.
G. It is a free society where people accept responsibility for their actions.

【題目】Regrets are often painful. A study suggests that some people can overcome them, said Jia Wei Zhang, a psychology graduate at the University of California. But this isn’t the case for everyone, he said.

The researchers wondered why some people report feeling improvement from regrets but others don’t. Does it lie in how people approach their regrets?

In the study, the researchers focused on self-compassion (自我同情) as a potential factor in why some people have an easier lime leaving their regrets behind them.

400 people attended an experiment. First, they were asked to write about their biggest regret. Half wrote something they did but wish they hadn’t done; the other half wrote something they didn’t do but wish they had. Then, the participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: self compassion, self-esteem and a control group. The self-esteem group was asked to respond by “talking to yourself about this regret from the aspect of confirming your positive qualities”.

The control group was asked to write about their favorite hobby rather than their regret. Then, they were asked about their feelings of forgiveness, acceptance and personal improvement following the exercise.

They found that the self-compassion group reported greater feelings of acceptance, forgiveness and personal improvement, compared with the control group and the self esteem group. In other words, focusing on your best qualities is not what helps you feel better about a regret. Rather, being compassionate toward yourself is what may make a difference, the researchers found.

It’s possible that people who practice self-compassion are able to confront their regrets and see what went wrong, so they can make a better choice in the future, Zhang told Live Science. Self-compassion pushes people to accept their regret instead of running away from it.

The researchers used an example of this from a previous study on breast cancer patients who were asked to try thinking about their treatment in a positive light before it began. The women who did so reported greater feelings of personal growth later on.

【1】What does the underlined word “confront” in Paragraph 7 mean?

A. Handle B. Forget.

C. Ignore D. Show.

【2】What were the students in the self-esteem group asked to do?

A. Think of a way out. B. Write about their regrets.

C. Record their favorite hobbies. D. Treat their regrets in positive ways.

【3】Why were the participants asked about their good qualities?

A. To cover up their regrets.

B. To see if they have weaknesses.

C. To see if they have self compassion.

D. To help them feel better about their regrets.

【4】What was the aim of mentioning the researchers’ study on breast cancer patients?

A. To show the method of the research.

B. To show the value of the acceptance.

C. To show the truth of people’s feeling.

D. To show the difficulty of the research.

【題目】D

If you are like most students, you probably sit still while learning a new language. However, sitting still may not always be the best way to learn. English learners can improve their language skills through movement, says Tamara Jones. She works at the English Language Center at Howard Community College in Maryland.

So, what is the relationship between physical movement and the brain? The idea is that the brain and the body are joined together. This means that one affects the other.

Many people are familiar with the idea that the brain tells the body to move. And many people are familiar with the idea that repeating an action over and over again helps your brain to remember. However, some research, such as a study by Morsella and Krauss, suggests that your body might help your brain to find memories. Specifically, movements we make with our body, such as hand gestures, may help us to remember and use the correct words.

This idea is part of the reason why experts on learning strategies, which are ways to improve the learning process, suggest using movements. One learning approach, the Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach, or CALLA, calls the use of movements "Using Your Kinesthetic (動覺的) Sense".

Beyond helping the brain to find memories, movements also aid in learning, says Tamara Jones. "There’s a lot of research that suggests what you do with your body, you remember with your brain. And also, a lot of these physical movements will encourage us in class or in life, when we are practicing on our own, to repeat and repeat and repeat the word as we are doing the physical movement, and this also helps us remember the word."

【1】Why does the author refer to Morsella and Krauss?

A. To measure their achievement.

B. To prove Jones’ opinion right.

C. To introduce the theme of the passage.

D. To present a commonly-held idea.

【2】How can physical movements affect one’s learning?

A. By shortening the repeating process.

B. By motivating the brain to remember things.

C. By helping one to study in a relaxed state.

D. By enabling one to use advanced words.

【3】Which statement may Tamara Jones agree with?

A. Knowledge starts with practice.

B. The body can control the brain deeply.

C. Movements help the brain work better.

D. Language learners must be more active.

【4】What does the underlined word "this" in the last paragraph mean?

A. Practicing English on your own.

B. Speaking the word again and again.

C. Grasping an effective learning strategy.

D. Repeating words while moving your body.
