8.I will share one experience with you.With the college Entrance Examination draw near,I was filled with great anxiety.However,I couldn't be absorbed in study,resulting from my failing in the examination.I got very discouraging.Just then,my teacher,Miss Zhang,approached me and said,"In life we all have moments when we can't achieve what we want to.It is natural.Don't allow those moments to weaken you,and turn them into motivation to inspire yourself."Her words were reminder that provided me with constant encouragement to smile at life.Consequently,I gained that I deserved.
So it is an optimistic attitude which matters most of all.It gives you the confidence to deal with difficulties and to achieve what you want in your life.

3.It's cold and dark outside,and your bed is so warm and comfortable.Going for a run seems like such a bad idea.But before you hide your running shoes,it might be worth giving that crazy idea ago.
According to The Huffington Post,an outdoor run in winter,as opposed to one on a treadmill(跑步機(jī)),burns more calories because the body is working hard to adjust its core temperature.Furthermore,research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures and quicker runs burn more calories.Similarly,cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body,making that vital muscle even stronger.
Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day.The heat and humidity in the summer can drag you down and tire you faster,but cold weather is refreshing.It adjusts you to your surroundings,making you feel alive.
Of course,the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise.Heart attacks,stroke,lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog.The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems.If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days,take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust(尾氣),and go early in the morning before rush hour.But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.

29.How does cold weather benefit runners,compared with warm weather?C
A.They can run more slowly.
B.They can take in more calories.
C.Their hearts can function harder.
D.Their body temperature can get lower.
30.How does summer affect runners?B
A.It builds up their energy quickly.
B.It makes runners tired easily.
C.It lessens runners'stress.
D.It causes heart attack.
31.What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?C
A.Stop driving cars.
B.Do more exercise.
C.Avoid outdoor exercise.
D.Run late in the morning.

18.Many people believe that classical music is not relevant to young people today.However,this issue(問題) frequently causes heated debate.
Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people.For example,if you look at the audience at a classical concert,the majority is over the age of fifty.
Others say it is more popular than we first imagine.Many young people listen to classical music without realizing.It is often used in films and advertisements.For example,a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup.Not many people could have given its name,but millions enjoyed it.
Also,some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas; for example,it is said that rap(說唱) music was invented by a classical musician in 1912,but it is now used by young people in pop music.
However,young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology.To play a classical instrument,such as a violin,you need to study hard and practise for hours.Nowadays,you don't need to get aching arms from practising.A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.
A final point to bear in mind is that the term"classical music"is used to refer to a great variety of music,from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦樂隊(duì)).This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.
So,it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments,but when it comes to enjoying classical music,it depends on the piece of music.It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realize!
