In 2012,Kim Stemple was a special education teacher and a solid performer in her age group in marathons. And then she got sick. After three years of tests and treatments, the doctors figured out she has a rare mitochondrial disease thatis causing progressive mental and physical health to go worse. They told her there was no cure and that this disease would take her life.

Yet Stemple kept running and competing in marathons. One day she was training forthe Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in Las Vegas when she became too sick to travel. The usually outgoing Stemple sunk into disappointment. But then she received a gift— it was a marathon medal given to her by a friend.

Stemple hung the medal near her hospital bed and it was an instant conversation starter with doc­tors ,nurses and anyone who came to visit. That medal pulled Stemple out of her disappointment. And that gave Stemple the idea to start We Finish Together, an organization devoted to connecting runners who wish to donate medals with those who might appreciate them. Stemple pens a hand written note ofen couragement on each of the medals she gives away. Recipients have included hospital patients, residents of homeless shelters and even doctors and nurseswho care for the very ill. "This gives them a connection to someone,"says Stemple. "If they receive a medal, they know someone cares."

Can asimple medal really make a difference? Joan Musarra said yes, who suffered froma serious disease. "I opened my package containing my new medal and the notes of positive, warm thoughts. I was really excited," she wrote toStemple. "It means so much to me to feel that I am not alone."

24. What can we infer about Stemple before she got too sick to exercise?

A. She was doubtful.

B. She was optimistic.

C. She was courageous.

D. She was down-hearted.

25. What inspired Stemple to foundWe Finish Together?

B. By contributing money.

C. By giving out recycled medals.

D. By connecting their relatives.

A. To ask for another medal.

Whale researchers believe they have found a new way to measure the amount of stress felt by whales when they experience serious threats （威胁）,such as being hit by a ship, and they say the technique could help protect the huge sea creatures from dying off.

American Rosalind Rolland is the lead scientist on the project. She and her team are with the New England Aquarium in Boston, Massachusetts. They measured stress hormones （荷尔蒙）by studying baleen, a substance found in the upper part of the mouth of some kinds of whale. She explains that the baleen serves as a record that shows a spike in stress hormones when whales face dangers such as a changing climate and ship strikes. Scientists canthen read these records, similar to reading the rings on a tree.

Under standing the information is important because whales who often feel stressed are less likely to be reproductive and more likely to become sick. That combination is not good for the whale population, which is already dangerously low.

The scientists did their work on a whale that had become trapped in fishing equipment, which some scientists estimate kills up to 300,000 whales and dolphins annually. It was finally killed by Inuit hunters who found it trying to drag the fishing equipment. The hunters said the whale seemed to lack energy. When scientists examined the dead whale, they found its mouth showed anincrease in stress hormones 20 times greater than normal.

Regina Asmutis-Silvia is a biologist with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation in Massachusetts. She didn't participate in the research, but she says it is important. "We clearly understand that stress is bad for humans. We also need to understand that stress is bad for other animals, too," she adds.

28. What doesthe text mainly tell us?

A. The dangers the whale often faces.

B. The measures to stop sea life being hit.

C. A way to protect the mouth of the whale.

D. A discovery to measure stress on whales.

29. Which of the following can best replace"spike" underlined in Paragraph 2?

A.Rise. B.Change.

C. Crash. D. Slide.

30. What maya whale living a stressful life be like?

A. Calm and fierce.

B. Uneasy and energetic.

C. Unhealthy and unable to reproduce.

D. Sizeable and likely to lose appetite.

31. Why doesthe author mention the words by Regina?

A. To move on to another topic.

B. To stress the importance of the finding.

C. To tell the necessity of studying other animals.

D. To show the similarity between humans and animals.

While weare creatures of habits, our habits can quickly become dated, leaving us feeling stuck or unsatisfied in certain areas of our lives. This is especiallytrue for individuals who have been working in one position for many years ordoing the same thing day in and day out. Why does this happen?

No matterwhich career （职业）path youhave chosen, you are going to experience competition and expect to prove thatyou are one of the best people who have applied for the position. That being said, once you secure a position, it can be easy to take a look around and determine that it would be hard to move up due to the misconception that others are better than you. Actually, you have your own set of skills and strengths that give you a competitive advantage in comparison to others. Under valuing your worth and abilities and not moving on because of this is the right reason why you may feel stuck in your job.

If your position or job provides you with enough money to lead a comfortable life, you may be comfortable but comfort doesn't equal contentedness. Your comfort may be the main contributing factor to your feeling of being trapped in your job.Another factor that makes you feel stuck during points in your life is when you find yourself at a plateau where your work no longer keeps you challenged or you are no longer finding the value in what it is that you are doing.

Being stuck can leave you feeling helpless, but your life is in your hands. The most important thing you can do right at this moment is to figure out what you need and lack in your career. After you've made a list of your needs, make a plan and break down that list into solid actions that need to be carried out, so that you can move forward with your career goals.

Remember: Change only comes with consistency. Becoming unstuck in a situation where you feel trapped is not something that will happen overnight.

A. If the job is not challenging.

B. After he is given a rise.

C. Before he stands out in a group.

D. When he has a chance of promotion.

34. What does the author mean in thelast paragraph?

A. Better late than never.

B. There is no best, only better.

C. It is not work that kills, but worry.

D. Sticking with goals leads to success.

35. What's the best title for thetext?

Tai Chi ison the rise as more and more people discover the health benefits that come from regular practice. 36 It's also a relaxing exercise that calms the mind while it energizes and strengthens the body. Many Westerners love Tai Chi because it provides a low-impact（低强度）workout that strengthens the belly and thigh muscles without putting any tension on the joints.

Tai Chi is quite easy to learn. Many recreation centers and community groups offer classes, sometimes in parks and other public places. 37 Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing when you go to class, and tennis shoes or shoes you don't mind standing and moving in.

One of the major benefits of Tai Chi is that it's a sport you can practice for life. 38 The strengthening and balance moves are hugely beneficial to their continued mobility. Also, the slow pace of Tai Chi makes it a great stress-reliever. As you focus on your breathing and posture （姿势）， your mind can clear itself of its worries, and that does your whole body good.

39 All you need is your own body and enough room to stand in. You can do Tai Chi on a mountain top, in the desert, on an ocean beach, or in the middle of a forest. 40And it's a lot of fun. So next time you see someone doing Tai Chi, ask them about it. They just might offer to teach you the forms of this fascinating sport.

A. It's a perfect outdoor activity.

B. Finally, you'll keep a low center of gravity.

C. Best of all, Tai Chi can be performed anywhere.

D. Often these classes are free and open to anyone who shows up.

E. It's the focus on energy that sets Tai Chi apart from other sports.

F. With its gentle movements and focus on forms, Tai Chi is more than just a sport.

G. In China, many elderly people continue to do Tai Chi well into their eighties and nineties.

A new bill has been 61 （official）passed in the Philippines that requires students to plant 10 trees each before graduation. According to the details outlined in the bill, the rule applies 62 all students who are to graduate from primary school, highschool, and college.
