When Boris left school, he could not find a job. He tried hard and pestered ( 纠缠)his relatives,

but they had problems of their own. He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any

more stamps. Boris grew annoyed, then depressed, then a little hardened. Still he went on trying and

still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all.

“Why don't you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money-

locker. You'd better find a way of opening it.”

“But what can I do？”

“Get out and have a look round,” advised his uncle in a vague sort of way. “See what people

want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.”

Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end.

Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and

gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit. A few months later, he found that he had

more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all

no good：in the wrong position，too expensive or with some other snag(障碍)．But at long last, he

managed to find an empty shop on a new estate （土地，地区） where there were plenty of

customers but no competition.

Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair scooters and motorcycles. Slowly but

surely the profits increased and the business developed. At last, Boris had managed to open the

moneylocker and found bank notes and gold coins inside.

4. Which of the following would be the BEST title for the passage?

A. Goodwill is the key to success

B. The world is a moneylocker

C. No education, no future

D. Difficulty of starting a small business

5. Boris started his career by________.

A. cycling around the town

B. developing a waste ground

C. repairing cycles

D. buying empty shops

6. Boris finally chose an empty shop on a new estate because________.

A. it was not so expensive

B. he had a lot of old customers there

D. there were good opportunities there

7. We can infer from the last paragraph that Boris______.

A. still couldn't make good profits

All sports people are under a lot of pressure to win, so they have to be spiritually strong. In the

past, athletes only trained to get physically fit. Today, professional sports psychologists ( 心理学家)

use scientific techniques to help athletes get spiritually fit, too.

England player Johnny Wilkinson described some of the pressures he had felt. He played very

well at the 2003 World Cup but after that he couldn’t play well. He found that he had a terrible fear

of failure. Under the help of sports psychologists, he realized that reality changes depending on how

we look at it and then everything went better.

In team sports, psychologists help players in different ways, one of which is to create a team

spirit. “It’s very difficult to get all the players to think in the same way, but when you see a team that

works as a unit, everything happens naturally and easily,” said Professor Dave Collins, a sports

psychologist.

When there is a team spirit, the players all take responsibility and don’t blame individual

players for mistakes. In this way, they feel more confident and can concentrate better. Sometimes

players are under a lot of pressure in a game. For example, a player may have to take a punishment

kick. To reduce his fear of making a mistake, sports psychologists use a method called visualization

(可视化). Psychologists simply ask players to imagine taking the perfect kick. When players do this,

certain areas of the brain become active. An interesting fact is that they are the same areas of the

brain as when the player takes the real action.

Today, sports psychologists have an important job to do. They help athletes become spiritually

fit and develop a winning outlook. Having a winning outlook really can make the difference between

winning and losing.

8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. Athletes can’t stay physically fit without enough training.

B. Sports psychologists can control athletes’ mind in the match.

C. Wrong views on success have bad effects on athletes’ health.

D. Some scientific methods have replaced traditional training.

9. Wilkinson felt better as he realized that _______.

A. everything was changing and was difficult to expect

B. things turned to be better when looking at them differently

C. psychology was very important to an athlete like him

D. it was unnecessary whether he could control his mind

10. What’s the importance of team spirit according to the text?

A. It can increase individuals’ sense of responsibility.

B. It guarantees the perfect performance of everyone.

C. It controls every athlete’s mind when necessary.

D. It makes all athletes more skillful during a match.

11. It can be inferred from the text that _______.

A. sports psychologists always ask athletes to use their imagination

B. the spirits of a psychologist can decide the outlook of a team

C. athletes need to play with psychologists to improve their skills

D. an active attitude usually helps a player do better in real action

A new study has discovered that meditation(冥想) and oxygen sport together reduce depression.

The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination ，done twice a week for

only two months，reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40 percent.

“We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both

clinically depressed and nondepressed students，” said lead author Dr Brandon Alderman，“It is the
