• 3．It can be incredibly difficult to encourage ourselves to go for a run during winter，particularly when it's wet and windy outside.But new research has found that even a super-quick run could have great health benefits.In fact，it seems that just a 10-minute session will not only make us feel better，but could actually improve brain health，too.Now，we all know that exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways.
     But when it comes to mental well-being，there's been relatively little research done on the specific benefits of running.compared with other physical activities，such as cycling.So this was something put to the test during a recent study.Researchers from University of Tsukuba in Japan asked participants （參加者） to run on a treadmill （跑步機(jī)） for just 10 minutes.They then had to take a Stroop Color and Word Test which is used to measure reaction time in brain processing.Results showed there was a highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity of the brain.
     In other words，runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain that's associated with dealing with functions and controlling mood （情緒）.Researchers then compared these results to a similar study on cycling，which also showed improved cognition（認(rèn)知） but no mood improvement.Therefore，it seems various types of exercise can make us feel differently.
     The authors noted， "Given exercise is medicine，the effects of drugs differ depending on the type of drug，and different types of exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different effects on mental health and brain functions as well."
     So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run really will make us feel better，probably more than other fitness activities.And these findings show that we don't necessarily need to do a lot of exercise to feel the benefit of it.
  
  （1）What did the new research find？

  
  A．Running fast benefits all of us.
  B．Running is the best exercise.
  C．A short time run can be beneficial.
  D．A healthy mind encourages us to run.
  （2）How did the researchers get the result？

  
  A．By using different drugs on participants.
  B．By interviewing some sportsmen.
  C．By collecting information on the Internet.
  D．By doing experiments and comparisons.
  （3）Which is related to our happiness？

  
  A．Cycling.
  B．Medicine.
  C．Blood flow.
  D．Colors.
  （4）What is the main idea of the text？

  
  A．We should go for a run in winter.
  B．Running really benefits us mentally.
  C．We don't need a lot of exercise.
  D．Running on a treadmill is better than running outside.

第二節(jié)（滿分25分）

• 9．Jenny was the only child in her family．She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily．She couldn't help weeping（哭泣） sorrowfully（悲傷地） when she thought of the scolding（責(zé)罵）from her mother．Having wandered（游蕩） aimlessly in the street for hours，she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat．She stood beside a stand（貨攤） for a while，watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business．However，with no money in hand，she gave a sigh（嘆氣） and had to leave．The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked， "Hey，girl，you want to have the noodles？" "Oh，yes，but I don't have money on me，" she replied．
      "That's nothing．I'll treat you today，" said the man "Come in．" The seller brought her a bowl of noodles，the smell so attractive．As she was eating，Jenny cried silently． "What is it？" asked the man kindly． "Nothing．Actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped（擦拭） her tears． "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles，while my mother drove me out of the house．She showed no care for me．She is so merciless（無(wú)情的） compared to a stranger!" Hearing the words，the seller smiled， "Girl，do you really think so？I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot．But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby．Can you number the times she cooked for you？Have you expressed your gratitude（感激） to her？" Jenny sat there，speechless and numb（麻木的） with shock；she remembered her mother's familiar face and weathered （變形）hands． "Why didn't I think of that？A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted（感激的）．Why haven't I thanked my mum for what she has done for me？" On the way home，Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home．
