    In February 2006, Lydia Angyiou and her two sons were walking through their village in northern Canada. The sound of children shouting made her turn around. To her horror, Lydia saw a 700-pound polar bear behind her eyeing her seven-year-old son. Getting between the bear and her child, Lydia yelled at the children to run away. She then began hitting and kicking the animal as hard as she could. A neighbor who heard all the noise came and shot the bear. But everyone agreed it was Lydia who had saved her children’s lives. A local policeman described it this way: “… I guess when your back is up against the wall, … we come up with super-human strength.”
    Where does this “super-human strength”, courage and quick thinking come from? Experts say it comes from stress! In stressful situations, the body releases chemicals that prepare it to take action. These chemicals give people the speed and strength they need to fight danger or run away from it.
    When we think of stress, we usually think of its negative effects. Studies, though, show that moderate levels of stress are actually helpful. In fact, the way we perform is usually affected by the amount of stress we feel.
    Stress causes the brain to release adrenaline(肾上腺素) which in turn increases our energy and excitement. The chemical gives us clearer minds and helps us to do more. This is why some people say they work better under a deadline.
    Adrenaline that is not released for long periods of time can cause us to increase and strengthen our abilities instead of weakening them. We sometimes turn out our very best work when we push ourselves to the limit. Stress can also make us more confident. Handling small amounts of stress now prepares us for handling serious situations in the future. Who knows? Today’s stress may even prepare for the next polar bear that comes along!
    小题1:In the first paragraph, the case of Lydia Angyiou is mentioned to______.
    A．introduce the topic to be followed
    B．remind us of the unexpected danger of life
    C．praise Lydia Angyiou for her bravery
    D．show the importance of super-human strength
    小题2:What does the policeman probably mean by saying “your back is up against the wall”?
    A．You are helped.B．You are inspired.
    C． You are confident.D．You are cornered.
    小题3:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Brave MotherB．The Cause of Stress
    C．The Benefit of StressD．Super-human Strength

    小题1:A
    小题2:D
    小题3:C

    小题1:过第一段介绍Lydia Angyiou救她的孩子引出下文有压力才有超人一样的力量。所以选A。为了引出下文的中心论点。
    小题2:cornered意思是被逼至绝路的，inspired是有创造力的，confident是有信心的。只有D符合题意。
    小题3:全文是通过介绍Lydia Angyiou在危机时刻救孩子逼出的力量引出在压力下能爆发出更大的力量。进而引出压力的益处。

    Zhao Wenxuan，a film star from Taiwan，has been fond of seeing films since his childhood. He would sometimes go to the cinema for the same film four or five times. He also enjoys literature and art. Before he took the film acting as his career，he had worked in an airline in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan Province. His change of job to acting was quite by chance.
    One day，he came across in the paper an advertisement for a leading actor to appear in the film named “Wedding Feast.” Full of excitement，he answered the job ad by telephoning the director of the film — Mr. Li An. It was this telephone call that had changed all his life. At last the director decided him to be the very person for the role. That he could be chosen owed much to his good command of English，natural manners and low pay for his work in the film.
    The film “Wedding Feast” proved to be a hit. It won the German Golden Bear Award and entered the competition for one of the Oscar Academy Awards. Also, it was the first Taiwan film that was permitted to be shown in the U. S. Thanks to the film，Zhao Wenxuan became popular in Taiwan, Hong Kong and southeast Asia.
    In 1994，Mr. Zhao acted as a leading role in the Hong Kong film，“Red Rose and White Rose”，in which many film stars like Ms Chen Chong from U. S. and Ms Ye Yuqing from the local area participated. This film was named for 10 prizes of the Taiwan Golden Horse Prize and at last it was awarded five prizes for the best play，actress and music. Zhao has regarded the film as one of his favorite films since he stepped into the acting circle.
    Since 1993，Mr. Zhao has taken part in the shootings of 13 films， most of which are thought highly of.
    Mr. Zhao said the that Taiwan should think to cooperate much with the mainland in the film producing industry and it would benefit each other. In recent years he often came to the mainland for film shooting. He has just completed his performance in the film “Love Affairs” directed by Mr. LiXin，a director from Shanghai Film Studio.
    小题1:Why could Zhao Wenxuan play the leading role in the movie “Wedding Feast”？
    A．Because he liked to see films very much.
    B．Because he was a famous actor at that time.
    C．Because he could speak English very well，acted naturally and gave no thought to the pay for his work in the movie.
    D．Because the director of the movie knew him very well.
    小题2:The text suggests that _____.
    A．“Wedding Feast” is just an ordinary film
    B．the film “Wedding Feast” disappointed people greatly
    C．Zhao Wenxuan became a famous movie star because of the film “Wedding Feast”
    D．A lot of the Taiwan films are shown in the U. S. every year
    小题3:Which of the following is the right order for Mr. Zhao Wenxuan‘s experience？
    a. He joined in the film “Red Rose and White Rose” in Hong Kong.
    b. He worked in an airline in Taipei.
    c. He suggested Taiwan and the mainland should film more together.
    d. When he was a boy，he often went to the cinema.
    e. He has just finished the film “Love Affairs” in Shanghai.
    f. He acted an important role in the film “Wedding Feast”.
    A．d，b，f，a，e，cB．a，b，d，f，e，c
    C．b，e，f，a，d，cD．c，b，e，a，f，d
    小题4:From the text it can be inferred that _____.
    A．one’s success is frequently (often) closely connected with a favorable chance
    B．it is never too late to learn
    C．know the enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of

    When movie star Scarlett Johansson was photographed naming in Los Angeles recently, she attracted a lot of attention; for the 27-year-old actress was wearing Vibram FiveFingers, so called because they look more like gloves than shoes, with a space for each toe.
    Strange though they may look, these so-called barefoot shoes, which reproduce the effect of barefoot running but with less pain, are just one brand in a range of minimalist footwear. These super-thin sports shoes are causing a stir in the world of running and fitness. Why? Because some experts believe they could make you a better, more efficient runner and that traditional trainers could be doing you more harm than good.
    "Wearing a shoe that has lots of cushioning and support affects the way your body naturally moves and studies suggest that this carries a higher risk of injury," explains Matt Wallden, an athlete performance expert. "But with barefoot shoes, the foot can actually feel the firmness and shape of the ground, which allows your body to respond effectively.’"
    But before you rush out to invest in minimalist footwear, be careful. These kinds of shoes are not meant for everyone, or at least not straight away.
    "Ordinary sports shoes with support are good for beginners whose bodies are not used to the impact of running," explains Patrick Davoren, former Olympic athlete. "It you are not in great condition, then running in minimalist footwear may cause injuries and will turn a lot of people off exercise and running.
    If you are currently injured, and figures show that in any given year 65% of all runners are, it can be tempting to try anything that promises to get you back on the road, trail, or beach. But barefoot running is not a method of treating injury nor is it a magical way of suddenly turning you into a great athlete.
    Even if you’re used to running, when you start using minimalist shoes you should build up your distance gradually. Start_off’by doing just 10% of what you’d normally run and increase the distance by no more than 10% every week. And a word of warning - you may never have soft feet again
    小题1:The Vibram FiveFingers are shoes ______.
    A．specifically designed for women
    B．that have lots of cushion inside
    C．safest for people who enjoy sports
    D．that are much thinner than normal sports shoes
    小题2:The underlined word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
    A．expertsB．feetC．shoesD．runners
    小题3:According to Matt Wallden, the new shoes ________.
    A．make feet more sensitive to the running surface
    B．will produce immediate improvements
    C．force your body to move less naturally
    D．increase the chances of getting hurt
    小题4:The author suggests that new users of Vibram FiveFingers should ________.
    A．run in the shoes every day at top speed
    B．begin with a shorter running distance than normal
    C．occasionally run barefooted to harden their feet
    D．make sure they are already very fit before using them
    小题5:Where would you probably read this article?
    A．A travel book.B．A movie website.
    C．A sports magazine.D．A science journal.

    One spring afternoon five years ago, Jimmy Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel. Life seemed ___21___.
