It comes as no surprise that exercise is good for your health. Positive changes happen to your body before, during, and after a workout.
Build up your body
There are quite a few scientific reasons to do strength training. It makes muscles (肌肉) bigger and bones stronger, thus lowering the risk for certain diseases. Running is an easy but effective way to help build your muscles. But a recent study found that a short run can benefit the legs in the short term. And for now, experts say running has more benefits than risks.
Improve your brainpower
Exercise can help your brain, not just your body. Physical activity helps brain cells (细胞) grow. That's because physical exercise quickly increases a person's heart rate and carries more blood to the brain, improving the brainpower.
Establish amind-body connection
Too much stress can lead to inflammation (炎症). But simple mind-body exercises like yoga can not only reduce inflammation but also lower the risk of depression. New research shows they can even change your genes to fight off poor health. Research proves that even just 15 minutes a day of practicing mindfulness seems to do the trick.

For most of my adult life, I've felt slightly ashamed —not of something I've done, but of something I haven't. Although I'm an independent person who has been to numerous countries, I've never gone on an overseas holiday alone. I've traveled with my parents, partners, kids and other families. I've travelled with my pet and joined tours where I knew no one but came out with lifelong friends.
But for a while, my failure to travel alone felt like a mistake. Solo travel is celebrated. I've seen a thousand pieces written by adventurous women who claim to have found themselves by crossing countries alone. Traveling solo makes you capable, they say. It pushes you out of your comfort zone. Every woman should travel alone at least once in her life!
And yet, I've never had an urge to do it. For one thing, I need a lot of people contact. A single day without meaningful conversation can leave me feeling depressed. Proper, engaging conversation is difficult when traveling alone. Even if you're good at chatting with strangers, it isn't always possible. I don't want to worry about being alone on my travels. I want support and company during my adventures. I used to see this desire to be with others as some sort of flaw, but now I see it as a valid choice.
Traveling solo builds resilience. But so does life. I am a single parent raising three children while trying to juggle a career. I make endless decisions alone and deal with crises alone. I manage loneliness and fear. I don't need to travel alone to build resilience. I have resilience in spades, I'm sure travelling overseas would push me further out of comfort zone. But you know what else pushed me out of my comfort zone? Being single in a society that values marriage. Earning a living in a difficult industry. Dating men I've met on an app. My life is effortful enough. I don't need my travels to be effortful too.
Travel is incredibly valuable, no matter what your stage of life. It teaches you how diverse the world is and how to appreciate your culture in relation to another. It stretches your mind and gives you a new viewpoint.
And you don't need a solo journey to become an independent woman. I assure you that life will get you there in the end.
(1)、What does the author feel a bit ashamed of?A、Her lack of independence. B、Her failure to travel overseas. C、Not being adventurous enough. D、Not having travelled on her own abroad(2)、Why is solo travel applauded by adventurous women?A、It is both relaxing and empowering. B、They can better appreciate different cultures. C、They get to know themselves better. D、It forces them to face their deepest fear.(3)、What does the author mean by saying "I have resilience in spades" in paragraph 4?A、She has had enough of resilience. B、She doesn't want to travel solo with spades. C、She doesn't need solo traveling to build character. D、She has gone through many difficulties in life to have great resilience.(4)、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A、Walking out of comfort zone B、Solo travel is unnecessary C、Life is travelling solo D、Being an independent woman -

Brooke wanted a dollhouse and some sugar cookies. So the 6-year-old asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn't her mom or babysitter. It was a voice-activated(声控的) home assistant powered by artificial intelligence(AI). Alexa comes with the Amazon Echo device(回波装置). And it made Brooke's wishes come true. After being reported on TV, Alexa devices in many listeners' homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!
Alexa isn't the only AI willing to order up treats for you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who own these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, people don't often do voice shopping. They do it mainly to order simple things like paper towels. But many experts predict a boom(繁荣) in voice shopping in the near future.
Convenience is the main benefit of voice shopping. You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you're cooking or driving. Besides, people who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without assistance.
But voice shopping has its downsides. Unwanted things aren't the biggest problem. It's usually very easy to cancel an order or return items. The surprising thing is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for ''Alexa'' or ''OK Google'' or another command. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people's shopping habits? What if someone hacks(非法侵入) the device? What if someone hacks smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time?
(1)、What is Alexa?A、A TV reporter. B、A friend of Brooke. C、A voice-activated device. D、A cookie maker.(2)、What can you learn from paragraph2?A、Alexa is the best AI device. B、People buy various things through voice shopping. C、People use Bixby mainly for listening to music. D、Voice shopping may have a bright future.(3)、What is the author's attitude towards Alexa devices?A、Optimistic. B、Doubtful. C、Objective. D、Negative.(4)、What's the best title of the text?A、How did Brooke' wishes come true? B、The voice-activated home assistant-Alexa C、How can we start voice shopping? D、What convenience do Alexa devices bring? -

When I was a teenager growing up in Russia, I felt studying very boring. I wanted to leave school and have my own life. There were only two ways for me to do this-working in the toy factory in my town, or getting married. I chose the first one. I was nervous when I told my father that I wanted to leave school. I thought he would say, "No! You are going to college." Instead, he took me by surprise when he said, "OK. We'll go to the toy factory."
Two days later, he took me to the factory. I had a very romantic idea of working in a factory. I had imagined everyone to be friendly working together and having fun. I even imagined there would be music and singing. I guess I had watched too many movies as a teenager.
When we arrived at the factory gates, my father spoke to the guard and one minute later we went inside. My father said, "Take your time. Look around. " I walked around the factory, looking at the buildings, the workers, and listening to the noise. It was terrible. I ran back to my father and said, "I want to go home. "
He asked me "What do you think of the factory?"
"It's terrible, "I replied.
"And you have another choice, but I think getting married is even worse!" he said.
I went back to school the next day. From then on, I studied as hard as I could. Finally I got into a good college. I enjoyed studying English so I decided to major in languages at college. Thanks to my father and our trip to the factory, I now work at the United Nations and my father is very proud of me. I married a very good man and my life is much better than it would have been working in the factory!

A rainy day can be a chance to recharge. While you relax on the sofa with a movie, the raindrops falling on your windows might one day provide the power for your TV. This is the idea behind an invention that harvests energy from water.
The technology is based on the triboelectric (摩擦电的) effect. An engineer at the University of Hawaii, David Ma knew that it was possible to generate electricity by rubbing two things together. So, he thought, "Why don't we use water?"
A drop of water sliding across a surface coated with two different materials would generate enough friction(摩擦) to create an electrical charge. By placing metal wires that the drop of water touched as it moved, it should be possible to harvest electricity, he reasoned.
It worked. In fact, the researchers lit up 15 LED bulbs with a single moving water drop.
This is not the first time that scientists have got electricity from water-generated friction. Earlier experiments, though, harvested the charge produced in a surface by a sliding drop of water. There, the surface had acted as an electrode(电极). This is different. The energy of friction is being harvested from the water itself.
"The technology could someday power phones, sensors or other small electronics," says Christopher Oshman, an engineer at the Colorado School of Mines. "This work is a step towards harvesting the energy of moving objects all around us, including ourselves, to power the electronic devices we use every day," he says.
"Ma has shown that the technology can work in a lab," Oshman says. Next, the Colorado researcher would like to see it tried on a larger scale, such as on an umbrella.
(1)、How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A、By telling a story. B、By raising a question. C、By imagining a situation. D、By giving an example.(2)、What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 3 refer to?A、The wire. B、The electricity. C、The surface. D、The drop of water.(3)、What is unique about Ma's technique compared with earlier experiments?A、It is based on the triboelectric effect. B、The water itself acts as an electrode. C、It produces electricity from water-made friction. D、It uses a surface covered with two different materials.(4)、What does Oshman say about Ma's technology?A、It has a promising future. B、It will do well on an umbrella. C、It works well in the real world. D、It will replace batteries someday. -

The Chinese Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu is often called the sage(圣人) of poetry. Unlike Li Bai, this poet wrote in various styles, and his works were often innovative(创新的) in language and subject matter. His poems were also filled with meaning.
His innovation was not at all welcome. The readers of his time rarely showed much appreciation of his original and innovative works. The masses in fact hated and scolded them. Like many artists, Du Fu was only recognised for his genius long after his death.
Du Fu was born in Luoyang, Henan Province. Although he came from an influential literary family, his early attempts to gain a position in the government by way of the exam system failed repeatedly. He was 43 years old when he finally managed to hold an official position. This was the time when Emperor Xuanzong was attracted to the beautiful Yang Yuhuan and made her his concubine(妃子), which Du Fu severely criticised in his Song of the Beautiful Ladies.
As the emperor got distracted from important government affairs, some military leaders were becoming too powerful. Du Fu took office in 755, and in the same year a rebel(叛乱) leader An Lushan led his army into the capital of Tang Dynasty. The emperor fled to the west and left the governing of the state to his son. Du Fu and his family took the road north to escape the rebels.
The poet left his family and tried to get to the headquarters of the new emperor, but he was caught and held prisoner by the rebels in Chang'an. After order was restored again, Du Fu got back his position in the capital. However, he did not enjoy the favour of the new emperor and was given a minor provincial post. In 759 he finally left this disgraceful position and spent the rest of his life wandering around the country.
(1)、What do we know about Li Bai's poems?A、They were consistent in style. B、They were like the poems of Du Fu. C、They used more complex language. D、They were written in various styles.(2)、What can we infer about Du Fu from the third paragraph?A、He didn't like to be an official. B、He was not loyal to the emperor. C、He became an official in his thirties. D、He cared about government affairs.(3)、What happened in the late years of Du Fu's life?A、He changed his writing style. B、He wandered around the country. C、He was called back by the emperor. D、He enjoyed his minor provincial post.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、Du Fu's political career. B、Du Fu's poetry and his life. C、The rule of Emperor Xuanzong. D、Du Fu's contribution to the Tang Dynasty. -
