Despite the lack of2 training space, Jade still built her3 at the gym. She ran with giant tyres attached to her waist to4 what it was like to pull a sled (雪橇) across ice. By the age of 14, Jade was5.

6、Cheerfulness is a powerful way to deal with a world that will always be tough and unjust in one way or another. It is a sign of strength in the face of difficulties. Different from fear, joy, or anger, cheerfulness isn't something that overcomes you.As such, you can include it into your life once you make the right mental switch. Here are four ways to do so.
⚫Acknowledge the difficulties.
Cheerfulness is an honest emotion because you're not hiding from reality. Instead, it's extremely important to be honest with yourself about the problems you're facing. Only by first acknowledging that things are tough will you be able to find ways to cope.
⚫Don't focus on the negative.
Whether in your personal life or in society, it's easy to focus on what's going wrong. But whatever you focus on, it grows. If you decide to focus on what's going wrong, those problems will grow in your mind until they consume you.
⚫Be grateful for what you have.
Usually, they're the things we take for granted until they're no longer there, such as good health, a loving family, or even something as simple as a beautiful sunrise. Being grateful will shift your perspective and make it easier to see the silver linings of your problems.
⚫
No cheerfulness without laughter. So you can watch comedies, browse memes, or joke around with friends. Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts your mood, makes you feel less pain, and protects you from stress. Laughter is cathartic (精神宣泄的) and infectious. Laugh and brighten the room.
A. Find your sense of humor.
B. Deal with difficulties seriously.
C. Focus on the good things you have.
D. To a large degree, cheerfulness is a choice.
E. You're not covering your eyes and looking away.
F. Acknowledge the problems, but don't focus on them too much.
G. Being cheerful changes your perspective on the world and your life.

7、Recently, a big change quietly took place in agriculture. Yet neither drought nor frost is ever a concern for growers of plants currently grown inside large greenhouses. Vegetables are increasingly being grown indoors, using an advanced form of growing called controlled environment agriculture, a method that has the potential to help feed the planet, even while it threatens to further warm it.
Controlled environment agriculture has many advantages. Crops are not subject to unexpected extreme weather. Furthermore, these greenhouses can produce more food with fewer pesticides and less water. With computer-controlled temperatures and nutrients, the plants grow with less water and produce much higher yields. Above all, the produce can be bred for flavor, instead of for tolerance to heat, rain and long-distance transportation.
The carbon footprint of any given greenhouse tomato can vary quite a bit depending on energy sources, surrounding temperatures and natural light. But various studies have estimated that, on average, the production of a pound of tomatoes in an American or northern European greenhouse releases 3 to 3.5 pounds of carbon into the atmosphere. That is about 6 times the caron footprint of a field tomato, even taking into account the emissions from refrigerated trucks that often transport field vegetables hundreds or even thousands of miles to reach consumers. Greenhouses, by contrast, can be built near major population centers.
Nevertheless, in a rapidly warming world, should we be increasing agriculture's contribution by moving some of it indoors? "We have little choice," say advocates. "With the global population expected to grow by 25 percent to nearly 10 billion people by 2050,food production will need to increase by 60 percent to 100 percent. With freshwater supplies and land suitable for farming decreasing, and droughts getting worse due to climate change, where will this additional food come from?"
(1)、What does the underlined part "a big change" in paragraph 1 refer to?A、The rapid increase of population. B、The threatens of warming the planet. C、The way to deal with natural disasters. D、The tendency to grow vegetables indoors.(2)、What does controlled environment agriculture mainly focus on?A、Making crops taste good. B、Planting crops with less water. C、Growing crops in extreme weather. D、Transporting crops from a long distance.(3)、What do we know about American greenhouse tomatoes?A、They are not high-yielding crops. B、They are not really environmentally friendly. C、They are grown far from population centers. D、They are mainly exported to norther Europe.(4)、Which of the following statements may the advocates agree with?A、Greenhouse planting is a necessary temporizing measure. B、Greenhouse planting is tailored for small-population nations. C、Greenhouse planting can help spread the idea of healthy eating. D、Greenhouse planting should be stopped from warming the world. -
8、After I retired, I found myself with lots of free time to spare. So I decided to use that time to volunteer. While tutoring with the adult literacy program at my local library, an advertising flyer for a neighborhood group called Westchester Villages caught my eye. Its main job is about matching aging neighbors with local volunteers who help them in a number of different ways: Making short visits, being a walking partner, or driving to doctors' appointments and the like.
I am happy to offer myself as a responsible person and a comfort to someone who is nervous about their appointment and concerned about getting there safely on time. I'm usually available to stay with the person I'm driving during their visit and accompany them back to my car for the ride home. These drives also can be ideal times for relaxing conversation. I've had many discussions with them, discovered many common interests, and heard numerous extended stories of past travels and family histories.
I often begin rides by comforting a nervous neighbor by calmly saying, "I know where we're going, the most direct route, and the best place to park. You're in good hands with me." These driving experiences also have afforded me opportunities for reflection. I've come to feel united with the neighbors I have come to know, and a more eager awareness of the aging process we all share. In living through so much time with them, I realize I'm going through the same stages.
A final irony (讽刺) for this movie lover is that I no longer need to go to a darkened theatre and gaze at a big screen in search of high drama. Whether it's a World War II-era family story or anxiety about current events or good news from a doctor, I experience all from a definitely front row seat.
(1)、What did the author decide to do during his free time?A、Work as a librarian. B、Give rides for elderly people. C、Making short visits to sick people. D、Play matches with aging neighbors.(2)、What might the author's driving experiences remind him of?A、His own aging process. B、A driver's responsibility. C、The value of conversations. D、Passengers' words of comfort.(3)、What can we infer from the last paragraph?A、The author has been anxious about his health. B、The author has no interest in dramas anymore. C、The author prefers watching movies from a front row. D、The author has found a new way of experiencing life. -
