课时作业(二) Unit 1 Section ⅡGrammar——虚拟语气(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解AI didn't know how to say no, and was afraid to tell people what I wanted. Instead, I got myself tangled (纠结的) in a web of obligations, anxiety, and white lies.The worst thing was that I didn't even realize what I was doing. I thought I knew how to say “no”— but couldn't remember the last time I had. Like a lot of people, I just wanted to be accepted, appreciated, loved—and that the only way to get those things was to put everyone else's needs before my own.I never seemed to have time for things I really wanted to do. I'd like to learn Spanish, write more fiction, and travel. These aren't huge, unrealistic goals. And yet, my peoplepleasing ways dramatically cut into my free time to pursue these desires.But recently, I decided I'd had enough. As an experiment, I began standing up for myself, even at the risk of alienating (使疏远) myself from everyone and having my entire life come crashing down around me. Several days ago, a good friend asked me to go for coffee at 5 p. m. I was planning to hit the gym and then binge—watch Mad Men for the millionth time. I said, “Sorry, I've got things I want to do tonight. ” She said, “That's fine. Maybe another time.” It was all so painfully simple that I wanted to cry.Sayi ng “no” is so much easier. If someone asks me to do something I have zero interest in, I'm polite but honest. “I'm sorry, I don't think that's really for me.” The words slip out my mouth faster than some other lame excuses.Learning how to say “no” has add ed several extra hours to my days, days to my weeks, and what feels like months to my years. I no longer have to backburner my plans to help friends with their job search, or set aside a weekend to read a book draft by someone I barely know. Saying “no” h as set me free.1．Why was the author afraid of saying “no”？A．She didn't want to tell lies.B．She wanted to make more friends.C. She wanted to please everyone.D.

B．Painful.C．Natural. D．Disappointed.4．How did the author f eel after she had learnt to say “no”？A．Relaxed. B．Lonely.C．Confident. D．Lost.BBrain health is key to successful ageing,_and it involves several mental functions including memory, reasoning and planning. Memory defines who we are—without memorywe have no past, cannot plan for the future and are unable to enjoy the present. Our reasoning and planning skills help us create and maintain healthy lifestyle habits that protect our bodies and minds.People are living much longer than ever before. Those born in 1900 would have been lucky to reach their 50th birthday. Today, life expectancy in many countries exceeds 80, but unfortunately agerelated diseases such as Alzheimer's and diabetes can diminish quality of life.As we age, brain cells that normally fight off infection and repair tissue begin to attack healthy brain cells. This causes inflammation (炎症) and can lead to cognitive deficits and disease. But adopting healthy lifestyle habits, such as eating fish, getting a good night's sleep and doing physical exercise, can slow and even reverse the process.The typical 45yearold has worse memory than the 25yearold, and our brains will continue to decline if we do nothing to protect them. However, if we intervene (干预)early, we can slow the decline. It's always easier to protect a healthy brain than to try to repair damage once it is extensive.Although there is a genetic component to healthy ageing, lifestyle habits may be more critical than genes. The landmark MacArthur Studies of Successful Ageing showed t hat, on average, nongenetic factors are more important than genetics in determining how well and long we live, suggesting that we have more control than we realize over remaining healthy as we get older.5．What does the underlined word “ageing” mean in the first paragraph?A．The process of getting old.B．Mental functions.C．Life expectancy.D．Healthy lifestyle.6．What can we do to slow the decline of our brains?A．Enjoying the present.B．Staying in a good mood.C．Working as long as possible.D．Adopting healthy lifestyle habits.7．What does MacArthur Studies of Successful Ageing suggest?A．Agerelated diseases affect our quality of life.B．Genetic factors determine how well we live.C．We can do something to live better and longer.D．Sometimes we don't know how to keep healthy.8．What is the main idea of the text?A．Daily habits determine your longevity.B．You should protect your brains early.C．Good health results from right food.D．Body exercise also benefits mental health.Ⅱ.完形填空Cathy and I met a few days after I first arrived in China.
