Similar to traditional marathons,OCR requires participants to undergo systematic training and careful deliberation before setting their feet in motion.These races are both physically and mentally demanding.Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned pro,below is the fundamental guide to getting yourself prepared for the big day.
How to train for your first obstacle run:
◆Assess your needs.
◆Practice running as much as you can.
◆Build your total body strength-body weight exercises,core and balance exercises,jumping and climb ing.
◆Train how you plan to perform on the day.
Obstacle race essentials:
◆Clothing you won't mind getting ruined.Close-fitting athletic clothing is recommended.
◆Broken-in trail running or off-road shoes.To avoid injuries,never wear new shoes on a race day.
◆A bag to put dirty clothes in.
◆Gloves,towel,waterproof camera.
◆Water bottle and post-race snack.
Tip:Check the event's website to see if any specific equipment is recommended.
Safety caution:
   As with any organized race,certain safety dangers are unavoidable.So far,no data on severe injuries from OCR events has been published,but participants are still likely to be subject to twisted ankles,pulled muscles or shoulder strain during these intensive attempts.
   With that in mind,runners are advised to take their time and to compete defensively while staying alert for potential dangers."Take it slow,listen to your body and reach out to the community for advice,"CNN suggests."And learn to enjoy it."

56.Which of the following essentials are all recommended for obstacle race?D
A.close-fitting athletic clothing,new shoes,waterproof camera,post-race snack.
B.gloves,towel,water bottle,waterproof camera,snack,a dirty bag,special equipment
C.close-fitting athletic clothing,towel,new shoes,waterproof camera,
D.clothing wearing well,waterproof camera,post-race snack,water bottle,off-road shoes

B.OCR requires participants to be healthy physically and mentally
C.So far,evidence shows,during intensive attempts,severe injuries from OCR events are likely t o happen.
D.Only a first-timer professional is required to get prepared for the fundamental guide.

分析 本文介绍OCR这一极限运动的要求,准备的装备以及安全注意事项.

解答 56.D 细节理解题.根据Obstacle race essentials中,never wear new shoes on a race day.A bag to put dirty clothes in.不是a dirty bag.Tip:Check the event's website to see if any specific equipment is recommended.specific不是special,所以答案选D.
57.A推理判断题.根据句子Similar to traditional marathons,OCR requires participants to undergo systematic training and careful deliberation before setting their feet in motion.与传统的马拉松比赛类似,OCR要求参与者在出发前进行系统的训练和仔细的思考.可以推断出传统的马拉松运动员必须经过系统的配需和仔细的思考,所以答案选A.

7.I started my career at Time Warner Inc.(时代华纳公司) right after I got my MBA from the university.I didn't share the dream of most of my colleagues:to create a business and earn a lot of money.My goal was to eventually lead an organization that would make a difference to people's lives.

After four years,I found myself running a business within the company.That decision led to my eventual being named as the publisher of People Espanola.I had made it five years earlier than I normally would have.By speaking up,I found a future I could not have predicted.

5.Traditional Chinese wedding
Traditional Chinese wedding customs have been around for thousands of years.They may vary from place to place and time to time,but have been holding an important position in the lives of Chinese people,(61)causing(cause) a far-reaching impact on the way the Chinese lead their lives.The traditional Chinese marriage usually (62)involves(involve) some necessary procedures,such as match-making,engagement,meeting the bride,and three bows.(63)In addition,a typical Chinese wedding nowadays goes like this:when a new couple is engaged,(64)what follows is a (65)choice(choose) of the date of their marriage.
Most people would favor a bank holiday or special Chinese festival for their relatives and friends (66)to attend(attend) the wedding.However,quite a few others,especially (67)those in the countryside,would fix a lucky date so that their marriage would have"Double Happiness".The wedding ceremony is usually hosted (68)warmly(warm),and the wedding ceremony very often ends with (69)a unique banquet.Toasts are made to wish the new couple long life,everlasting love and happiness,early birth of a (70)healthy(health) baby and so on.

12.A hobby is an investment of time.It also can be an investment of money and commitment.Many people choose to develop more than one type of hobby.(36)FWhen it comes to choosing the hobby,consider the following factors.
Hobbies are usually an activity of some sort that brings out a certain skill that you have.When you have a talent like painting or woodworking,it can be easy to determine which hobby suits your skill.(37)ASkill can be developed and challenged as you go along.It is not a necessary requirement.A hobby is fitting because you love it,not because you're a professional at it.
Some people particularly enjoy taking part in hobbies that they can do in a group with others.It can be a lot more fun to become a member of a hobby group than to sit alone in your basement.(38)CIt's important to share interests and network with other hobby enthusiasts that do what you do.
Hobbies are generally an activity that you undertake because of the joy it brings you.Of course many people have discovered the joy that also comes with a hobby that earns you a living.(39)GJust make sure you make the choice that fits your lifestyle and personal preference.
(40)B But most of the skilled hobbies like art,building or writing have a series of lessons or tutorials that you can take to further your skills.In some cases it's a really good idea to take lessons,especially if you are clueless as to where or how to begin.Step by step books for most hobbies can often be found in bookstores as well.

A.However,hobbies don't have to be skill related.
B.Most hobbies can easily be done within your own home,at your leisure.
C.Look one up or start your own.
D.Read hobby books to learn more about your chosen hobby!
E.Make a list of things that you enjoy or don't know about.
F.It can be a necessary part of selecting the hobby that is right for you.
G.Whether it's full time,part time or not at all,you must decide whether your hobby applies to you.

2.In China,as in many countries,the north-south divide runs deep.People from the north are seen as hale and hearty,while southerners are often portrayed as cunning,cultured traders.Northerners are taller than southerners.The north eats noodles,while the south eats rice-and according to new research,when it comes to personality,that difference has meant everything.
A study published Friday by a group of psychologists in the journal Science finds that China's noodle-slurping northerners are more independent,show more"analytic thought"and divorce more frequently.By contrast,the authors write,rice-eating southerners show more qualities traditionally associated with East Asian culture,including more"holistic thought"and lower divorce rates.
The reason?Cultivating rice,the authors say,is a lot harder.Picture a rice paddy,its delicate seedlings tucked in a bed of water.They require careful tending and many hours of labor-by some estimates,twice as much as wheat-as well as reliance on irrigation systems that require neighborly cooperation.As the authors write,for southerners growing rice,"strict self-reliance might have meant starvation".
Growing wheat,by contrast,the north's staple grain,is much simpler.One Chinese farming guide from the 1600s quoted in the study advised aspiring farmers that"if one is short of labor power,it is best to grow wheat."
To produce their findings,the authors evaluated the attitudes of 1,162Han Chinese students in Beijing and Liaoning in the north and in Fujian,Guangdong,Yunnan and Sichuan in the south.To control for other factors that distinguish the north and south-such as climate,dialect and contact with herding cultures-the authors also analyzed differences between various neighboring counties in five central provinces along China's rice-wheat border.
According to the authors,the influence of rice cultivation can help explain East Asia's"strangely persistent interdependence".For example,they say South Korea and Japan have remained less individualistic than Western countries,even as they've grown wealthier.
The authors aren't alone in observing the influence various crops have on shaping culture.Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008book Outliers also drew connections between a hard-working ethic (measured by a willingness to fill out long,boring questionnaires) and a historical tradition of rice cultivation in places such as South Korea and Japan,given that the farming of such crops is arguably an equally boring chore.
Title:How China's North-South Divide Has Influence on (71)Shaping Personality.
(72)Difference(s)/Distinction(s)in personality●China's northerners (73)feed(1ive)on noodles,and they are thought of as hale,hearty and taller with more (74)independenceand"analytic thought"as well as higher divorce rates
●On the contrary,the southerners prefer eating rice and have more"holistic thought"and lower divorce rates
Reasons●Planting rice needs twice more (75)1aborthan planting wheat
●Cultivating rice relies on irrigation system that requires neighbors to (76)cooperatewell
●If you are over independent,you might (77)starvein the south
●If you are (78)1acking(weak)in labor power,it is best to grow wheat in the north
The Research●The attitudes of 1,162 Han Chinese students were evaluated
●Other unrelated factors like climate,dialect and herding cultures were carefully (79)controlled
●The result shows the influence of rice cultivation can result in more cooperation and explain East Asia's"strangely persistent interdependence"
Another(80)similar(related,relevant)observationMalcolm Gladwell also found the influence crops have on culture in his 2008 book Outliers

2.Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships.For example,in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure.Yet it also has other uses.A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.A smile may show love or politeness.It can also hide true feelings.we often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures.For example,many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; frequently used to cover painful feelings,Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions (情感),but we should not attempt to"read"people from another culture as we would"read"someone from our own culture.The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.Rather,there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted.For example,in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do.When with friends,Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States.People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others.The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different.If we judge according to our own cultural habits,we may make the mistake of"reading"the other person incorrectly.

28.What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?B
A.Love.
B.Joy.
C.Politeness.
D.Thankfulness
29.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that a smile canC.
A.show friendliness to strangers   
B.be used in the wrong places
C.be used to hide true feelings     
D.show personal habits
30.What should we do before attempting to"read"people?D
A.Learn about their relations with others.
B.Figure out what they will do next.
C.Find out about their past experience.
D.Understand their cultural backgrounds.
31.What would be the best title for the text?D
A.Cultural Differences          
B.Smiles and Relationships
C.Habits and Emotions         
 D.Facial Expressiveness.
