He has been working as a living statue for over three decades, standing perfectly still for six hours a day and resisting peoples attempts to make him move or

11、 smile, anything that proves he is a living person. Abdul, known as “Indias Statue Man”, has been performing his daily routine ever since 1985, soon after getting a job as a security guard. His boss had recently traveled to the UK, where he was so impressed by the statue-like members of the Royal Gu

12、ard outside Buckingham Palace that he wanted to do something similar back home. So he had his guards receive three months of training, where they would sit perfectly still for around four hours. They werent allowed to talk or smile, eat, drink, or even shoo away a fly if it sat on their faces. In th

13、e end, Abdul proved the best of the group, so he got the strange job. Abdul isnt the only person in the world acting as a living statue, but what makes him special is the fact that he can do it for as long as six hours without even blinking his eyes. Once, a $ 155 prize was put up for anyone who can

14、 make him move a muscle. But try as they might, no one has ever succeeded. Actually, Abdul tries to move about as much as he can in his spare time, and only eats healthy home-cooked food, to keep his body in shape. But he claims yoga has been the biggest help. In the 32 years, Abdul has become a cel

15、ebrity in India and other Asian countries. Many Bollywood celebrities have come to witness this living statue and try to finally make him move, but none have succeeded. Abdul earns about 10,000 rupees ($ 156) a month, which is enough to support his family, but definitely not enough to encourage his

16、children to follow in his footsteps. Its just too stressful and taxing on the body. “Despite all the hardship and health problems, I love my job and I am thankful to people for the love and respect they have showered on me” he says，“ When the time comes, I want to die playing a statue.” 21. Why coul

17、d Abdul get the strange job given by his boss?A. He had his special ambition.B. He was most familiar with the job.C. He knew the boss more than others. D. He stood out among the group. 22. What does Abdul do when he is free?A. He eats a lot of snacks. B. He tries his best to move around.C. He cooks

18、for his family. D. He practices yoga for 12 hours a day.23. How does Abdul feel about his job according to the text?A. Its satisfying. B. Its overpaid. C. Its boring. D. Its instructive. B“Do not tell anyone”. We often hear these words when someone tells us a secret. But keeping a secret is hard. We

19、re often tempted（引诱）to “spill the beans”, even if we regret it later.According to the professor, Asim Shah, keeping a secret may well “become a burden”. This is because people often have an “eager and anxious urge（冲动）to share it with someone”. An earlier study, led by Anita, a scientist at the Unive

20、rsity of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted（托付）with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.Secrets are so often getting out. Why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it

21、will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining

22、or losing the trust of someone, ”according to Shah. He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesnt mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them

23、 stress, and make them talk about the secret.Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, youd better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustnt give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someones secr

24、et you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isnt so secret any more.24. What does the underlined phrase “spill the beans” mean?A. Keep silent.B. Tell the truth. C. Let out a secret.D. Eat our words.25. How many reasons are mentioned in Para.3 why people tend to share sec

25、rets?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.26. What can we learn from the passage?A. Quiet people are more likely to keep the secrets to themselves.B. Sharing secrets helps establish friendship or get over the sense of guilt.C. A person asked to keep a secret will suffer from psychological problems only.D. Putting yo

26、urself in others shoes helps realize the difficulty of keeping secrets.CGlobal warming is the increase of the earths average surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases, for example, carbon dioxide, which traps heat that would otherwise escape from the earth. After the trees are cut do

27、wn and more greenhouse gases are released, the “blanket” around the earth called the ozone layer（臭氧层）, will get thicker. This catches more heat and makes the earth hotter. Luckily, there are many things that every citizen of the earth can do to help reduce the effects of global warming, and its neve

29、he environmental impact the life has. To live an environmentally friendly life that doesnt contribute to global warming, people want to have the smallest carbon footprint possible.Almost everything people do contributes to global warming and is related to fossil fuel consumption. These can be direct

30、 uses of fossil fuels, like riding in a gasoline-powered car, or indirect contributions to greenhouse gases, such as eating fruits or vegetables that have to be shipped from far way to reach their tables.If a child wants to make a contribution to reducing global warming, he should ride a bicycle to

31、the near park, school, his friends house, or anywhere else instead of taking the car. Or he may try to walk or jog, which is also helpful.

It appears that people have got used to being in a hurry. However, its better

57、for people to take their time and live their life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done.The main reason that convinces us to oppose doing work in a hurry is the possibility of doing wrong in a rush. When people do their jobs or take action in a hurry, they cant make a sound decision and

58、probably regret later. As the saying goes, “Haste makes waste.” We should think carefully before making a decision and do our work less quickly. We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly.Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life better. For example, taking a train to some

59、 place certainly will take more time than taking a plane. However, taking a train makes people have enough time to get to know a lot of new friends. Besides, it allows people to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. On the contrary, being in a hurry will make us lose chances of enjoying o

60、ur lives.Finally, slower life pace provides better health conditions for us. As is known to all, taking action in a hurry bothers people and raises their stress. People think if they are not in a hurry, they will become a loser and that annoys them. But being in a hurry can hurt people both physically and mentally. According to some studies, people
