Having a gym partner can provide huge support and motivation. Consider finding a friend who shares your fitness goals or seeking guidance from a personal trainer. A supportive companion or an expert can provide guidance and help remove anxiety by offering tips and feedback.

3、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Plants are vital to human survival, even when there's no sunlight. But keeping your houseplants alive in window-less rooms or in shadowy corners can be a challenge. Luckily, there are ways to help your plants stay energetic, even when their sunny source of energy is limited.
Grow lights provide an easy and accessible energy increase in dim or black spaces. These specialized beams (光线) have different features, colors, and prices. LEDs, for instance, are the cheapest and most energy-efficient option.
While most devices stick to a warm white light, plants respond differently to various illuminating colors. Scientist Levine has made two creative experiments. Under gravity, red light worked well for the slim flowering plants Arabidopsis (拟南芥). But in the weightless environment, they stretched into funny shapes until he started adding blue lights. He eventually found a middle ground and put the plants in green light.
If electricity is a limiting factor, you can try to reflect light with mirrors. Even brightening up your space with white decorations, like a light-colored tablecloth, will cast a little glow over your plants. While it's not comparable to using a grow light or the sun, it could offer plants extra power.
Some plants, including tomatoes, need more light than those like Arabidopsis; new seedlings need less light than fully-grown plants. As you choose your seeds and seedlings, research their native ranges to learn how much sunshine they'd naturally get.
Plants are finally adaptable. They can stretch their stems toward available light sources or produce extra chlorophyll (叶绿素), which absorbs available cold light. Even though they may not be getting all the light that they would like for optimum (最适宜的) growth, they'll still grow. With only a little extra help, you and your plants can overcome the darkness.
(1)、What is the purpose of using grow lights?A、To change the color of the plants. B、To create a decorative effect in the room. C、To provide an energy boost in dim spaces. D、To help plants grow in weightless environments.(2)、What did Levine discover about the effect of different light colors in experiments?A、Plants grew best under red lights without gravity. B、Blue lights caused plants to grow funny shapes. C、Plants preferred warm white lights in all situations. D、Green lights were the best choice for plants without gravity.(3)、How can you help plants get extra energy without using electricity?A、By putting the metal in the soil. B、By adding more fertilizer to their soil. C、By pouring some chemical liquid. D、By decorating some reflective objects.(4)、Who is the passage written for?A、Individuals looking to improve their indoor gardening skills. B、Farmers planning to grow crops in low-light conditions. C、Plant scientists and researchers. D、Indoor decorators and designers. -
4、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Fast food chains have tried for years to appeal to customers who care about their health. They have added lighter food to their menus, such as salads and yogurt. Of course, the lighter food goes with the usual burgers, fried chicken and shakes.
Menus have changed over the past three decades. According to a recent study, fast food menus are less healthy than they were 30 years ago. The study suggests the problem is getting worse. The fat, salt content and size of fast food meals are the problem. They are often the reason for the rising obesity (肥胖) rate among adults in the United States. The researchers found that the average main dish weighed more in 2016 than in 1986. It also had more calories and more sodium (钠). One expert said, "The restaurants have not done enough. The big picture is that there have been some positive changes, but they are small. Overall, the changes have gotten worse."
The average fast food dessert had more calories in 2016. It also weighed more than the average fast food dessert thirty years earlier. Restaurants are counting on bigger sundaes and cookies to increase the amount spent on each order. For example, McDonald's recently introduced "donut sticks"dusted with sugar. Six sticks have 280 calories. But you can also order 12 sticks for less than the cost of two single orders.
The researchers found that, over the 30 years, there were more calories in items like chips, soup, and French fries. Sodium content rose even though portion(一份) size did not grow much. When consumed together as a single meal, the study found that the average main dish and side order account for nearly 40 percent of a 2000-calory daily diet.
(1)、Why do fast food chains provide lighter food?A、To match the fast food. B、To reduce the cost of each meal. C、To attract more customers. D、To improve the health of customers.(2)、Why are more American adults getting fat?A、They have little time to exercise regularly. B、They take in more calories from fast food. C、They eat much more dessert after every meal. D、They eat fast food more frequently than before.(3)、What is the example of "donut sticks" for in paragraph 3?A、Showing the way of restaurants' making cookies. B、Presenting the popularity of restaurants' new food. C、Stressing the increase in restaurants' food varieties. D、Explaining the intention of restaurants' adding dessert.(4)、Which one could be the best title of the text?A、Fast Food Is Still Killing Us B、Don't Eat Any Fast Food Now C、Try to Eat More Lighter Food D、People Are Becoming Fatter and Fatter -
5、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
I tried not to look down. My palms (手掌) were sweating. All I could concentrate on was the man below who was keeping the ladder steady. The tiny people waved up at me, but I couldn't see them clearly.
When I got to the top, some sort of supernatural force brought my feet to the edge of the platform. I was going to slip off the board. The line holding me was going to break, and I was once again going to be thrown to death. Down was the only direction my eyes would go.
I begged to go back down the ladder, but the stupid man tried to convince me. The tiny dots below shouted encouragingly, saying they would run with me as I flew. I was going to slide off that platform. I couldn't think; the tears stopped my brain. Why wouldn't he let me go back? The message replayed in my mind, "You're going to die…"
Like a blown-up balloon, I was let go just before it could be knotted at the bottom. I went in every direction, tension escaping from my body as I fell. The breeze hit my face and cooled my sweaty body. I could see clearly now, and I was flying.
Today, I am still terrified of heights. It would be nice to say that I conquered my fear and found something I loved. I owe my zip line (飞索) experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform. I am grateful for the experience because I love adventure. Trying new things has always appealed to me. Some of the most rewarding experiences I have had, like flying, have come out of conquering what at first appears to be frightening and impossible. While my days of aerial escapades are over, I look forward to the future and the question of fear of flying and will continue to create questions wherever I go.
(1)、How did the author feel when he was on the ladders?A、Exhausted. B、Frightened. C、Annoyed. D、Excited.(2)、Why did the Englishman push the author off platform ?A、To teach him to fly. B、To push him to death. C、To develop his courage. D、To test his ability to climb.(3)、Through the zip line experience, the author learns that____.A、everyone can enjoy flying well B、trying difficult things is his favorite C、looking back on the old days is awful for him D、something that seems impossible can be conquered(4)、What does the underlined phrase "aerial escapades" in Paragraph 5 refer to?A、The author's zip line experience. B、The author's difficulty in life. C、The author's failure in adventure. D、The author's dreams about his future. -

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
A book read at my father's knee and one that inspired my imagination and shaped my writing life. My desire to fall down a rabbit hole that might take me to Wonderland surpassed (胜过) my other childhood wishes. Wonderland with its Cheshire Cat and never-ending tea parties, which were reflected in a life-long love of cats and cakes, suited me best.
-Menna van Praag
Bambi by Felix Salten
My mum read this to me before I could read, and later I read it to myself again and again. In the Suffolk countryside where I grew up, I would often spot deer in the fields.
