Personality and Exercise: Find the Exercise That Suits You
Your personality might influence what kind of exercise you enjoy! A study from University College London found that people with different personalities prefer different workouts.
What did the study show?
Outgoing people often like high-energy group activities, such as fitness classes or team sports. Quiet people usually prefer exercising alone, like running or yoga. People who get stressed easily often feel better with easy-going and varied exercises.
Researchers asked 132 people to join an 8-week fitness program. First, they answered questions about their personality and stress. Then, they took part in activities like cycling and bodyweight exercises. At the end, participants rated their enjoyment and were tested again for fitness.
What do the results mean?
When the exercise matches their personality, people keep doing it, perform better, and have more fun. For example, outgoing people enjoy group activities, while easily stressed people reduce stress with relaxing plans.
This research tells us that choosing the right exercise for yourself is very important. It doesn't matter what exercise you choose as long as it fits your personality. If you like setting your own pace, try running alone. If you enjoy staying with others, join a team sport or work out with friends.
In short, exercise isn't just about health——it's also about enjoyment. Knowing your personality and choosing suitable exercise can make staying active easier and more effective.
A. How was the study done?
B. Why was the study done?
C. What can we learn from the study?
D. This finding can help us pick the right exercise and keep doing it.
E. People who like planning often prefer planned workouts, such as morning running.
What sport will you choose according to your personality? Why?

How did you spend your last holiday? Were you glued to a screen from morning till night? Well, you' re not alone. It seems that many people are now online nearly all the time. According to a new survey, on average, Chinese people spend five and a half hours on the Internet every day!
Let's be honest. What do you usually do when you' re online? For many people (not just in China), it's watching short videos and checking out new memes(热梗). This low-value content clouds our thinking. The Oxford Word of the Year 2024, "brain rot, " best describes this global headache.

B、Controlling the time you spend on the Internet. C、Doing active things instead of sticking to screens. D、Watching educational videos instead of funny ones.(4)、Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A、Enjoy Easy Fun. B、Fight Brain Rot. C、Stop Internet Time.

Ocean researchers are saving endangered whales using hi-tech tools called SnotBots.
In 2018, a killer whale called Scarlet was very weak. The whale, who was nearly four, was starving because there wasn't enough salmon to eat. Experts did their best but couldn't save her.
Sadly, it isn't just Scarlet in trouble. All"southern resident killer whales", which live in the Salish Sea off the coast of Canada and the US, are having a hard time living. "There are only 75 killer whales remaining in this group, so every whale matters, " Hendrik Nollens from Wildlife Health told us.
Researchers at Wildlife Health are using SnotBots to save these whales. "The special planes fly above the whales and take videos and pictures, collect their breath samples(样本) for health tests, and take their body temperatures, " says Nollens.
Pilots fly the planes carefully to move close to the whales and catch the breath drops, or"blow", after they have come up to breathe. Analysing these breath samples helps the experts check whether the whales are healthy. The check-up also guides actions to protect the animals.
By learning about and protecting whales, researchers are helping these fantastic sea animals live and grow again. Their efforts could help the population grow by 1% every year. "Our dream is to see more baby whales, healthier groups of whales, supported by healthier oceans, " says Nollens.
(1)、Why did the killer whale named Scarlet die?A、She was seriously ill. B、She was too old to live. C、She was hurt by sea animals. D、She didn't have enough food.(2)、What can Snotbot do to help save whales?① Take pictures and videos. ② Collect breath samples. ③ Send food.
④ Analyze samples. ⑤ Take temperatures.
A、①②⑤ B、①③⑤ C、②③④ D、③④⑤(3)、Which"blow" has the same meaning as the underlined"blow" in the passage?A、Losing his job was a big blow to the poor man. B、A strong wind blew the leaves off the tree last night. C、The boy blew out all the candles on his birthday cake. D、The dolphin's blow could be seen in the morning air.(4)、What is the passage mainly about?A、A killer whale named Scarlet died in the sea. B、Southern resident killer whales are in danger. C、Researchers use SnotBots to protect whales. D、Killer whales in the Salish Sea love eating salmon. -

AI is quickly becoming part of everyday life. According to a 2025 survey, adults in the US interact(互动)with AI several times a day. We wonder: Should people be polite to AI during these interactions? Here's what four students say about it.

AI systems learn from interacting with people. I' ve read that using polite language in our prompts(提示)can lead to well-sourced(来源可靠的) information with fewer mistakes.
AI doesn't have feelings. Sometimes, too many polite words can make it harder for AI to understand you. For example, if someone asks AI to correct a paragraph with many mistakes but says, "Could you please make some small changes?" AI might make only small changes.

Should Schools Be Year-Round?
Usually, schools have a long summer break (vacation). Many students say July and August are the best time of the year——when summer starts, school is out for a long vacation. They don't like to have a long summer break. Instead, they take shorter breaks spread out during the year. That means there is not a long summer break in a year-round school, but several shorter breaks in a year.
More and more schools are becoming year-round places of learning. But is studying year-round better for students?

Year-round schools are better. They allow families to plan vacations at other times. Students can enjoy time off in every season.
Students can get a short break when they feel tired. And they have less stress when they go back to school after only a short break.
Summer is a great season. Most families plan vacations over the summer. Students should be allowed to enjoy their summers fully. What's more, most schools don't have air conditioning. How can students learn in a hot classroom?
Schools with long summer breaks work just fine. There is no need to change.

A. Studying year-round is a bad idea.
B. Regular(有规律的)short breaks are good for students.
C. Two American teenagers hold different opinions.
D. I think the key is to offer students places to relax.
E. However, some students like year-round schools better.
Who do you agree with? Why?(不超过15词)

17、阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
Fashions(时尚)come and go, so you should wear what makes you happy. In fact, the idea of feeling good by what we wear has a name-dopamine(多巴胺)dressing. It comes from the book Dress Your Best Life written by Dawnn Karen, which talks about looking for joy through dressing.
Dopamine is the feel-good chemical(化学物质)that our bodies make. For example, when we eat delicious food or listen to our favorite music, our brain releases more of it. This chemical then travels to different parts of the brain to make us feel happy. Similarly, Dopamine can be released by doing other things. "What about wearing something crazy or bright?" says Karen. In 2020, Karen started looking for ways to improve dopamine levels. She then created"dopamine dressing" which quickly became popular.
The dopamine dressing style is the most energetic. Fashion stars often share their dopamine dressing with others. They challenge their creativity to add more colors to their wardrobes(衣柜)。
Of course, it's impossible for us to choose exactly which color we should wear to improve our feelings. And dopamine dressing doesn't suggest that we should all wear bright colors to feel happier. For some people, wearing black might bring more happiness than wearing bright colors. Different people have different feelings about colors. It's all about how you feel about a color. "Add more of your favorite colors to your wardrobe. Think about the colors that make you think of a happier time, a place or a person. " says Shakail a Forbes-Bell, a fashion expert.
All in all, if you' re looking to get feelings of happiness through your clothing, you don't need to turn to a certain color. Which colors have you always loved? Just go for them.
(1)、What can we know about Dawnn Karen?A、She wrote the book Dress Your Best Life. B、She designed many enjoyable clothes. C、She shared her dopamine dressing online. D、She discovered the chemical dopamine.(2)、Which dictionary meaning best explains the underlined word releases in Para. 2?release v. (releases, released, releasing)

Tom: My mom writes children's books. I loved it when she read to me, but I wished she'd play more instead of sitting at the computer writing. Then one day at school, we had to talk about a book, and I chose one of hers. My classmates were really amazed. Suddenly, my mom's job seemed really cool!
Anna: My dad works at a radio station, but I didn't know what he did until he took me to work one day. I saw the studio with all its equipment(设备), got to wear headphones and speak into a microphone. It was a lot of fun. I thought this kind of job was very interesting.
Bill: As a child, I had no idea what my mom did. I just knew she left early and came back late. "Financial analyst(金融分析师)" meant nothing to me. In nursery school, when we drew "My Mom at Work", other kids drew nurses, teachers, or moms cooking at home. Ithought those jobs were much more interesting. I just drew a fat woman in a suit with big earrings and a laptop.
Diane: Being a biologist's daughter was fun. I liked bird-watching with my mom. I knew a biologist was someone who knows about animals, and I thought it meant notworking too hard. My dad is a doctor—always at the hospital, all day and sometimes all night—while my mom often just sat at her desk writing something. So by age five, I'd decided it was better to be a biologist than a doctor. (1)、Why did Tom think his mom's job became"really cool"?A、Because she took him to her workplace.
