But students at Aspire Middle School in Lacey, Washington spend their PE classes doing yoga.‎ ‎ "PE has been either dance or yoga since we started," said the headmaster Monica Sweet. "They're both very popular classes."‎ ‎ Teacher Anne Kohlbry developed the yoga program and began teaching it when the school opened in 2009. Each class lasts about 50 minutes. It includes some warm-up activities such as walking laps(跑道的圈) around the school, controlled breathing, stretches (伸展) and a few ‎ minutes of relaxation.‎ ‎ Kohlbry usually plays classical music while students stretch on yoga mats. They practice several classic poses. For example, to do the mountain pose, students stand tall with feet together. They take a deep breath and raise their hands over their head. Their palms（手掌） face each other with arms straight. Then they try to reach up toward the sky with their fingertips.‎ ‎ When doing yoga, students need to be calm and find the balance of their bodies. It helps them focus, according to Kohlbry.‎ ‎ "Focus is a big thing-middle school kids are so distracted（分心的），” she told the local newspaper The Olympian.‎ ‎ Yoga also makes students healthier.‎ ‎ "I've had a lot of kids saying, 'Madam, I've developed a six-pack muscle(肌肉 )' because we do a lot of strength training," she said.‎ ‎ Eighth-grader Jessica Wallingford, 14, likes the class. "In the two years that I've been here, there are a lot of things I've improved on. It's pretty cool. It's better than running laps," she said.‎ ‎ "It feels like exercise," said Thomas Shiveley, 11. "It's not tiring, but it's good exercise."‎ ‎( )29.

Doing yoga can help the students_______.‎ ‎ A. keep balance B. get excited ‎ C. become focused D. control their breath ‎( )31. Which word has the same meaning as "focus" in the passage?‎ A. Attention. B. Force. ‎ C. Distraction, D. Balance.‎ ‎( )32. From the passage, we learn that_______.‎ ‎ A. doing yoga makes Shiveley feel tired B. strength can hardly be trained in yoga C. classical music is of ten played in yoga classes D. warm-up exercise is not necessary in doing yoga C When I was a baby, I jumped and ran around you and made you laugh. Whenever I was "bad", you'd shake your finger at me and ask ‎"How could you?" But then you'd give up, and played with me and I ‎ believed that life could not be any more perfect.‎ ‎ My housetraining was a long process, because you. were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, ran in the park and car rode. We stopped for ice cream I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.‎ ‎ You began spending more time on work, and more time searching for your human friend. Later, you fell in love. She is now your wife but doesn't like dogs. Anyway, I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then your babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was excited by them, and I wanted to look after them, too. Your wife was afraid that I would bite them. However, as they began to grow, I became their friend.‎ Now, you have a new job in another city. So you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your "family", although I wish I could ‎ be your family all the time. .‎ ‎ I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog house. There were many fearing and hopeless cats and dogs in the cage. You filled out the paper and said to the staffs there, "I know you will find a good home for her. " They said nothing. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And "How could you?" I asked myself again and again.‎ ‎ Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my dog house, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, hoping you had changed your mind and hoping this was just a bad dream.‎ ‎ My owner, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.‎ ‎( )33. Who tells this story?‎ ‎ A. A dog. B. A child.‎ ‎ C. A dog's owner. D. A dog trainer.‎ ‎( )34. Why did the dog's owner take his dog to the dog house?‎ ‎ A. He had a newborn baby.‎ ‎ B. He was moving into a new building.‎ ‎ C. His wife did not like the dog.‎ ‎ D.

It did not believe humans any more.‎ ‎ D. It was excited about the dog house.‎ D ‎ Ladies and gentlemen, thank you Well, ni-hao. (Laughter) It is such a pleasure and an honour to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me. I'm here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among young people like you across the world ‎ That's why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don't just visit palaces and parliaments (国会) and meet with heads of countries. We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you. because we believe that relationships between countries aren't just about relationships between governments or leaders-they're about relationships between people, ‎ particularly young people. So we view study abroad programmes not just as an educational chance for students, but also as an active part of America's foreign policy(政策).‎ ‎ Through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before. Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a mouse. Companies can do business and compete with companies across the world. And we can text, e-mail, Skype with people in the world.‎ ‎ So studying abroad isn't just a fun way to spend a time of learning; it is quickly becoming the key to success in our times. Because getting ahead in today's workplaces isn't just about getting good grades or test scores in school, which are important. It's also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders-experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own Or, as the Chinese saying goes: "It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. "‎ ‎( )36. Where did the speaker probably give the talk to the audience?‎ ‎ A In a university. B. In the Parliament Hall.‎ ‎ C. On the Internet. D. In a tourist attraction.‎ ‎( )37. The passage shows that the world's future depends on_______.‎ ‎ A. getting good grades ‎ B. travelling abroad ‎ C. connections among young people ‎ D. texts and e-mails ‎( )38. What is the meaning of the underlined word "compete" in Paragraph 3?‎ ‎ A. 完成 B. 比较 C. 竞争 D. 抱怨 ‎( )39. In the speaker's opinion, what is the key to success in our times?‎ ‎ A. Going to a university. B. Doing more exercises.‎ ‎ C. Studying abroad. D. Getting good test scores.‎ ‎( )40. Where may the passage come from?‎ ‎ A. A story. B. A news report.‎ ‎ C. A scientific magazine. D. A speech.‎ 四、词汇检测（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或通过上下文，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空只写一词。‎ ‎41.I don't know why I can't see as_______（清楚地）as I used to.‎ ‎42.

Different students have different ideas.‎ ‎ Some students think that teenagers should take their parents' advice. Firstly, it shows that we respect our parents. Otherwise, they'll be unhappy. Secondly, parents are more experienced than us and they can help us. Thirdly, it can bring us a good relationship with parents.‎ ‎ However, some other students don't think so. They think their parents are out of date Also, making decisions themselves can help improve themselves. Besides, they think they should have their own ideas since they are no longer children.‎ ‎ In my opinion, we should get a balance between taking parents' advice and making our own decisions. If we disagree with our parents, we should still be polite to them and explain things patiently.‎
