2．Beatrice De Lavalette developed a passion for horse-riding when she turned 3.However，in the spring of 2016，17-year-old De Lavalette was waiting for a flight when she got hit by a bombing at Brussels airport.Along with serious burns，De Lavalette lost both legs below the knee.Yet she said if it weren't for the event，she wouldn't be the person to join in the Paralympic Games（殘奧會） in Tokyo.
Getting back in the saddle（馬鞍）was no easy work because of her injuries.However，five months after the bombing，thanks to her courage，determination-and further treatment and training-that's exactly where she was. "I had no muscle，I was just skin and bones，so being back on the saddle with no sense of balance was really uncomfortable.But with time，I was able to build up the muscle and work on my balance，" she said.
Unsurprisingly，De Lavalette was depressed as she tried to come to make peace with her injuries.She got lots of help and encouragement from her family，friends and the doctors，but she still couldn't pick herself up.She cried a lot in the hospital until an unexpected visitor，her beloved horse，DeeDee，turned things around for her. "DeeDee saved my life，" Beatrice said.Adjusting to her disabled body was，in many ways，like having to learn to ride all over again.And the Paralympics offered a perfect chance to show her hard-earned skills. "I can't change what happened，but I can still achieve my dream.As I have said many times，I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.What else is there to say？There are no 'What ifs'.I have a new life in front of me，" Beatrice said，"What's important is that I'm alive and I feel that I will do something great with my life. " We'd say that she already has.

3．For years，you've been told that stress can be deadly and is something to be avoided.Therefore，an anxious situation is often accompanied by a sense of fear.However，recent studies suggest that stress-related harmful effects on your health are not unavoidable.
One study followed 30，000 people over eight years and measured their stress levels.Those who believed that stress is harmful died at a higher rate than those who were under stress but didn't acknowledge the so-called negative effects.The latter group was healthier，and many of them lived long，happy lives.
Stressful feelings start out in a small region of the brain that affects how people feel emotions，especially fear.The small region is very sensitive to possible threats.When it senses danger，it alerts the brain，and feelings of fear or stress can result.These feelings give people a warning message when they need to pay attention and when they need to take action.For instance，when the sight of a speeding car triggers（觸發(fā)）the region to release a lightning-fast message，we know immediately to move out of the way!
Another study carried by Health psychologist Dr.McGonigal found a link between stress and the amount of sympathy people showed to others.Researchers tracked 1，000 adults，their descriptions of the level of stress in their lives and the amount of time spent helping others.With each major stressful event，such as a family tragedy or financial crisis，the risk of dying increased by 30 percent.But for the group who spent time helping others，there was no increase in stress-related deaths，even for those who had faced their own personal tragedies.According to Dr.McGonigal，"Chasing meaning is better for your health than trying to avoid discomfort.Go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows."
（1）What does the study in paragraph 2 suggest？
A．Stress caused many deaths over eight years.
B．Stress won't hurt you if you don't acknowledge its presence.
C．It is not the stress but our response to it that creates problems.
D．Those without stress usually live long and happy lives.
（2）What do we know about stress from paragraph 3？
A．Stress is harmful to the brain.
B．Stress can cause danger.
C．Stress can be a threat to us.
D．Stress can lead to timely action.
（3）What can we learn from Dr.McGonigal's study？
A．People without stress spend more time caring others.
B．Stress often causes a family tragedy or financial crisis.
C．Stress can be avoided by helping others.
D．People chasing meaning in life suffer less from stress.
（4）Which may be the best title for the text？
A．Stress Is Not Your Enemy.
B．Man Can Conquer Stress.
C．We Need Remove Stress.
D．Stress Is Nearly Harmless組卷：16引用：4難度：0.5 -
4．Faced with a declining population and workforce，Japan has been increasingly turning to robots for help.Over the years，the robots have carried out a large number of human tasks，including building products and providing care for the elderly.
However，the robots currently being used by companies，like Walmart and Amazon，are only able to perform single，repetitive tasks，such as stacking （堆積）boxes.Model-T，on the Other hand，has a wider range of movement and is able to hold，pick and place objects of several different shapes and sizes into different locations，making it ideal for convenience and grocery stores，which sell a large variety of items.
Model-T robots are operated from a distant location by human "pilots" wearing a virtual reality （VR） headset and special gloves，which allow them to feel the product the robot is holding in their hands and guide it to the right shelf.
The VR-controlled robots are ten times cheaper than automated（自動的）robots，because they don't require advanced programming and are easier to develop and maintain.And their easy-to-use controls require little training.Tomohiro Kano，a general manager in charge of development at FamilyMart，believes this will enable the chain to recruit （招聘）workers who would typically not work in stores.
Though Model-T appears to be getting，rapidly through the experiments，it is not quite ready to enter the workforce.Besides being a lot slower than humans，it is also only able to lift packaged items，and cannot get hold of things such as fruits and vegetables.The company is working to improve the weaknesses and hopes to introduce a faster，more skillful Model-T within the next two years.They believe that in addition to the stores，the robots could also be useful in hospitals，allowing doctors to do operations from remote locations.
（1）What is one of the features of Model-T according to the text？
A．It works much faster than humans.
B．It can easily hold all kinds of objects.
C．It can be operated from a distance away.
D．It is harder to produce than an automated robot.
（2）What does the underlined word "this" in paragraph 4 refer to？
A．The low price of Model-T.
B．The easiness to operate Model-T.
C．The low-level programming of Model-T.
D．The strict training for maintaining Model-T.
（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A．Model-T is now being massively produced.
B．Japan's workforce will be reduced by Model-T.
C．The weaknesses of Model-T have been overcome.
D．Model-T may be used in wider fields in the future.
（4）In which section of a website can we read this text？
