The rest that you get while sleeping en ables your body to prepare itself for the n ext day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows dow n. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mi nd slows dow n,from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begi n to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which sta nds for rapid eye moveme nt.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply.

He always gives a generous tip to our waitress. If the service is terrible, he keeps back only a few pennies.We recently treated our son and his girlfriend to a seafood feast near Cocoa Beach, Florida. Our waitress, a grandmotherly woman, was skilled in the art of waiting tables. She treated her customers as individuals. She remembered their special tastes, likes, and dislikes. She learnt all of these after only the briefest of conversations.At the end of the meal, this waitress brought the bill , then went to attend to the growing crowd of other diners. My husband paid with a credit card, added her tip, and we were off. After a quick stop in the wash-room, I reentered the lobby in time to see the waitress running out of the dining room waving a receipt at us. “Mr. Goldsmith! ”she called. My husband turned. She waved the paper at him“.Thanks for your tip. It was generous of you”.My husband thought the waitress should be paid a little more than what he usually gave.“Wow, Dad,”our son said, sounding like a surprised 10-year-old. “I've never seen a waitress follow anyone out of the restaurant to say thank you for the tip.”( ) 6.

Because it is a low-impact exercise, it is a good choice for anyone who is overweight and un der-exercised.It won' stress your joints, but it will strengthen your heart and lun gs, thigh muscles and burn ple nty of calories.

大专英语期末试题及答案一、阅读理解Passage 1：Recent studies have shown that physical exercise can significantly improve mental health. Regular exercise has been linked to reduced stress levels, improved mood, and increased self-esteem. Physical activity stimulates the production of endorphins, which are known as the "feel-good" hormones. These hormones help to reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.In addition to the positive effects on mental health, exercise also enhances cognitive function. Physical activity increases blood flow to the brain, which improves concentration and memory. Studies have found that exercise can even help prevent age-related cognitive decline and reduce the risk of developing neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.To reap the mental and cognitive benefits of exercise, it is recommended to engage in moderate-intensity physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week. This can include activities such as brisk walking, cycling, swimming, or dancing. It's important to find an exercise routine that you enjoy and can stick to in the long term. Incorporating regular exercise into your daily life can have a significant positive impact on your overall well-being.Passage 2：Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest in mindfulness meditation as a way to reduce stress and improve mental health. Mindfulness involves being fully present and aware of the present moment, withoutjudgment. It can be practiced through various techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or focusing on sensations in the body.Research has shown that mindfulness meditation can help reduce anxiety and depression. It has also been found to promote a sense of calmness and overall well-being. By practicing mindfulness, individuals can learn to manage their thoughts and emotions more effectively, leading to better mental resilience and stress management.In addition to its mental health benefits, mindfulness meditation has also been linked to improved physical health. Studies have shown that it can lower blood pressure, reduce chronic pain, and boost the immune system. By promoting relaxation and reducing stress, mindfulness can contribute to a healthier body and a stronger immune response.To incorporate mindfulness into your daily life, it is recommended to set aside a few minutes each day for meditation or other mindfulness activities. Start with shorter sessions and gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable. With regular practice, mindfulness can become a valuable tool for managing stress and improving overall well-being.二、完形填空Going camping can be a fun and rewarding experience for people of all ages.

Reading Comprehension (30 %)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C.Passage 2Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand—he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight, which they brought to the artist.Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature from human bodies in motion and at rest; their choices show that these parts of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Today's artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.If one painter chooses to paint an infected leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain part of the world, each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.26.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Every artist wants to say something to the public.B. Every artist wants to teach the public.C. Every artist wants people to learn good character from him.D. Every artist wants to say something new.27.Why is it difficult to explain the purpose of an artist's work?A. Because the artist says something too new to understand.B. Because the artist uses shapes and colors to teach you something.C. Because the artist uses difficult words to explain his work.D. Because the artist wants to draw something mysterious.28.The contribution of the artist is that his work can help us _____.A. feel the happiness that he got from the workB. notice the shapes and colorsC. know some of his experienceD. all of the above29.Most artists take their shapes and colors from _____.A. nothing in particularB. the work of other artistsC. the parts of the world that are worth looking atD. a lake in moonlight30.The author mentions two painters in the last paragraph in orderto tell us _____.A. each painter is trying to teach us somethingB. the first painter is realisticC. the second painter is romanticD. their painting skills are differentIII.

For example, if they want to change their itinerary at the last minute, they can do so without having to consult anyone else.Another reason is that traveling alone can be a great opportunity for self - discovery. When you are alone, you have more time to think about yourself, your life goals, and your values. You can also meet new people more easily when you are traveling alone. People are often more interestedin talking to a solo traveler than to a group.However, traveling alone also has its drawbacks. One of the main problems is safety. Solo travelers may be more vulnerable to crime, especially in unfamiliar places. Another issue is loneliness. Although traveling alone can be a great experience, sometimes it can be a bit lonely, especially at night or when you are in a beautiful place and want to share the moment with someone.46.

D A.Decision B.Requirement C.Quality D.Choice B Doctors believe that second-hand smoke may cause lung cancer in people who do not smoke. Nonsmokers often breathe in the smoke from other people ’s cigarettes. This is second-hand smoke. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (美国环保局) reports that about fifty-three thousand people die in the United States each year as a result of exposure ( 暴露) to second-hand smoke. It is harder for children to avoid second-hand smoke. In the United States, nine million children under the age of five live in homes with at least one smoker. Research shows that these children are sick more than children who live inhomes where no one smokes. The damaging effects ofsecond-hand smoke on children also continue as they grow up.The children of smokers are more than twice as likely todevelop lung cancer when thay are adults as children ofnonsmokers. The risk is even higher for children who livein homes where both parents smoke.People are becoming very aware of the danger ofsecond-hand smoke. As a result, they have passed laws thatprohibit people from smoking in many public places.Currently, 45 states in the United States have laws thatrestrict, or limit, smoking. The most well-known lawdoesn ’t allow people to smoke on short native airlineflights, i.e. flights within the country.C pared with nonsmokers ’ children, the children whose parents both smoke are likely to .A.grow up more slowlyB.be sick under theage of fiveC.develop Lung cancer more oftenD.become smokers moreeasilyA 7.Why are there laws made against smoking in public placesin the U.S.?A.Because people have realized the danger of second-handsmoke.B.Because more and more people don ’t like smoking now.C.Because parents don ’t want their children to becomesmokers.D.Because the government wants to limit the production of cigarettes.C 8.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The number of smokers’ children is twice greater than that ofnonsmokers’ children.B.People are now not allowed to smoke on airline flights in the U.S.C.Adults whose parents smoked when they were children get cancer morefrequently.D.Second-hand smoke is not as dangerous as first-hand smoke.D 9.From the passage we can conclude that .A.the main cause of lung cancer is second-hand smokeB.most people know nothing about the danger of second-hand smokeC.public places are dangerous for people to stayD.children suffer most from second-hand smokeC 10.This passage is mainly about .A.how people get cancerB.who can get cancer easilyC.what should be done with smoking in publicD.whether second-hand smoking can be harmful CMany visitors to the United States find that the fast paceat which people move is very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that eveyone is in a rush. Citypeople always seem to be hurrying to get where they are going.And they are very impatient if they are delayed even for abrief moment. At first this may seem unfriendly to you. Butdrivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry asthey serve you; people will push past you as they walk alongthe street. You will miss smiles and brief conversationswith people when you shop or dine in a resraurant. Do notthink it is because Americans are in such a hhurry that theyare unfriendly. Life is often much slower outside the bigcities, which is true in other countries as well.Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago,or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in ahurry to get things done. But when they discover that youare a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and willtake great care to help you.C 11.Visitors to the United States possibly feel that citypeople of thecountry are very .A.busyB.kindC.troublingD.patientC 12.In American big cities, people rarely .A.smile to each otherB.move at a fastpaceC.chat with each other in a shopD.dine away from homeB 13.According to the writer, American people .A.unfriendly only when they are shoppingB.actually friendly to foreign visitorsC.indeed cold to foreign visitorsD.in no hurry when walking in the streetA 14.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Life pace is different inside and outside bid cities.B.Life pace is quite slow in other parts of the world.C.life pace is the same in different parts of the world.D.Life pace is similar in American cities, big os small.C 15.It seems that Americans are cold to you because they think .A.you are a foreignerB.you know their way of lifeC.you are as busy as they areD.you are a stranger thereDAs working women continue to receive better and better wages, housewives still work at home without receive paychecks. Should a woman who works at home, doing the housework and caring for children , be paid for her services? In a 1986 study at Cornell University, it was found that the value of the services of a housewife averaged $11,600 a year. This rate was based on a family composed of a husband, wife, and three young children. The $11,600 is what the husband would have to pay if he hired others to take over his wife’s household work. The researchers concluded that it would be fair for husband to pay wives according to government guidelines (方针) for least amounts of wages.Another plan for rewarding women who work at home has been suggested by Dr. Johnson, a former Secretary of Health and Human Service. He says that full-time housewives should be allowed to pay social security taxes(社会保障金), with their employers (that is, their husbands) offering part of the payment. He feels that the present system is unfair. He said, “if you work in a store you can qualify for Social Security, but if you stay at home and raise a family, you can’t qualify for it.”D 16.Now in the U.S. the women working outside home can get .A.the same pay as those doing houseworkB.as much as their husbandsC.an average payment of $11,600 a yearD.more and more moneyB 17.The researchers at Cornell University suggest that .A.husbands hire others to do their houseworkB.husbands pay their wives for their work at homeC.policies be worked out on women’s wagesD.women go out to work instead of working homeC 18.The expression “full-time housewives” in paragraph2means .A.wives who can’t do any houseworkB.wives who don’t like to stay at homeC.wives staying at home doing houseworkD.wives working outside home sometimesC 19.Why do some people feel that husbands should pay their wives for theirhousework?A.Because husbands are employers.B.Because raising a family needs money.C.Because wives’ work at home has its value.D.Because wives can’t qualify for Social Security.B 20.Why does Dr.Johnson think that the present system is unfair?A.Husband are paying the social security taxes for their wives.B.Women working at home can’t get social securitgty.C.Bosses refuse to pay part of the taxes for female employees.D.Full-time housewives are required to pay social security taxes.EIn Spain in summer there are many villages with a lot of tourists. The tourists go to the villages with their families, where there are festivals. People living aroundthe villages also go to these festivals. To begin the festivals they throw big fireworks and the mayor (市长) makes a speech. When he finishes, people applaud and parties begin. In the morning of the first day people orgnize chocolate parties and clowns(小丑) for the children. In the afternoon there is a festival for the grandparents with music, drinks and food. And at night a big party is held for everybody. At the party, people dance and sing. They feel very happy in the festivals and go to bed very late.Next morning they get up much later than usual; then theygo to a place where there are poetry(诗歌) competitions, squares(纵横字谜), etc. Later the people go to a ceremonyin the church to visit their dead family members. In the afternoon there is a fair and everybody goes to it to buy things or to go for a walk. At night a famous pop music group goes to the village and holds a concert and at 12 or 1o’clock the group plays traditional songs. The third dayis the last day, people are still very happy.

The car provides the most comfortable and 48 form of transportation. 49 a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact 50 the United States never developed 51 and inexpensive form of public 52 Long-distance trains have never been 53 common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service 54 by planes. But it is 55 expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is 56 really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wail 57 a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don't like to have to 58 an ex J act schedule.

Decide on thechoice that best completes the question .Passage 1Water, Steam and IceWe have all played with snow and ice in winter. When a piece of ice is taken into a warm room, it is no more ice very soon. It is turned into water by the heat.When clothes are washed in cold days, they are often hung up near a fire. Steam rises from the wet clothes. A basin of water will soon be covered with ice outside the door in winter.Most matter has three states: solid, liquid and gas. If we raise their temperature high enough, solids can usually be turned into liquids and liquids into gases. On the other hand, gases canoften be turned into liquids and liquids into solids if they are made cold enough.By the changes of these three states, the steam engine has been invented, and many things are made from iron or steel through melting and moulding.61.How can ice be turned into water?A.

But one thing still puzzles old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they' re still on the sofa? Talking?What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?Betty shrugs. Talk? We are friends.Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is "marked and unmistakable."More than two-mirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress (感情危机). "Most women," says Rubin, "identified at least one, usually more, trusted friend to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.""In general," writes Rubin in her new book, "women*s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men* s relationships are marked by shared activities. " For the most part, Rubin says, interactions (交往) between men are controlled—a good fit with the social requirements of "manly behavior”"Even when a man is said to be a best friend," Rubin writes, "the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman’ s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn’ t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa."71.
