One day in the gym, I asked a coach, \"What's the difference between the best athletes and everyone else? \"He briefly mentioned the things that you might expect: genetics, luck, talent

But then he added something I wasn’t expecting. \"At some point,” he said, ”it comes down to who can handle the boredom of training every day and doing the same practice over and over again.”

Most of the time people talk about getting motivated to work on their goals. As a result, I think many people get depressed when they lose focus or motivation because they think that successful people never lack motivation that they seem to be missing. But that’s exactly the opposite of what this coach was saying

When I was an athlete, I loved going to practice the week after a big win. Who wouldn’t? Your coach is happy, your teammates are excited, and you feel like you can beat anyone As an entrepreneur, I love working when customers are rolling in and things are going well. Getting results has a way of pushing you forward.

But what about when you’re bored? What about when the work isn’t easy? What about when it feels like nobody is paying attention or you're not getting the results you want? It's the ability to work when work isn’t easy that makes the difference.

If you look at the people who are consistently achieving their goals, you start to realize that it’s not the events or the results that make them different. It's their commitment to the process. They fall in love with the daily practice.

So, fall in love with boredom. Fall in love with repetition and practice. Fall in love with the process of what you do and let the results take care of themselves.

Since so much written language we see today comes from a glowing screen, language has begun to change through our interaction with technology. Social media and the Internet have had a rapid and great effect on the English language, and not necessarily for the better. More and more people have found themselves writing in

2020年整理

pieces of words and using unclear acronyms（词首字母） both in written and spoke langua

How many times have you typed \"LOL\" in response to a humorous message? Referred to someone as your “BEF”? Exclaimed, “OMG! \" during a particularly shocking event? Social media has affected the words we use in our everyday life. Abbreviations and acronyms commonly known as \"text talk” have made their way into both spoken and written language. These are becoming increasingly popular as people struggle for brief expressions to meet word limits on social media like Weibo and Twitter. In addition, the speed of the Internet means language is changing faster than ever. You no longer have to be published through physical and traditional means to bring word trends to public attention.

Many people believe the overuse of these new terms is a passing trend, and nobody will be using them in just a couple of decades. With the change of language, older terms will surely disappear and fall out of style, and newer and more Internet language will take their place.

But the Oxford English Dictionary thinks the contrary. In 2011, a lot of Internet terms including, “LOL“ “BPB“ “OMG”, and “BFF” were added to the dictionary, making these acronyms official parts of the English language. According to the dictionary writers, these terms aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

The words you use in everyday life are a reflection of yourself, this is especially true on the Internet with the lack of interaction in real life. With the Internet and social media rapidly getting popular, soon your words may be all you have left. Make them good ones.

28. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Social Media and the English Language

B. The Use of New Internet Language C. The Internet and Social Media D. The Change of the Internet and English

29. What is one reason for people’s use of acronyms? A. The decrease of physical and traditional books B. People' s need for quick response to different messages C. The lack of people’s interaction with technologies D. People's need to meet word limits on social media

30. The ”new terms” are considered to be part of a passing trend because_______. A. they are not published in a traditional way B. they are not used as formal language C. they’ll be replaced by even newer ones D. they are not supported by dictionary writers

31. The writer of the passage thinks that Internet languages_________. A have positive influence R should be properly used C. are getting more popular D. are useless for interaction

D

People with an impulsive(冲动的)personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering the possible dangers or problems first. According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia, such people may be more likely to have food addiction. The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior weren’t necessarily overweight, but impulsiveness was related to a direct relationship with food, and therefore, less healthy weight.

2020年整理

Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use. Studies have linked the dopamine (多巴胺)release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances.

Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions. Some people might rink alcohol or take drug. For others, it could mean eating to feel better. Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks. People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause obesity.

“Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addictive way despite motivation to lose weight, \" said Dr. Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist. He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people. “We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, then our measure, the Yale Food Addiction Seale, should be related to helping control impulsive action.” said Gearhardt.

Clinical psychologist Dr. James Mackillop, whose lab was conducting the study, believes that therapies ( 治疗,疗法) used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits.

“Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things, which are clearly diet and exercise,” Mackillop said. \"It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily.”

32. According to Paragraph 1, the result of food addiction is_________. A. taking alcohol or drugs B. motivation to lose weight

2020年整理

C. negative emotions D. less healthy weight

33. How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4? A. By making comparisons and conclusions B. By explaining causes and effects C. By giving definitions and examples D. By presenting questions and answers

34. What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text? A. It has been successfully carried out among overweight people. B. It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight. C. It will prove whether Mood addiction is a problem to impulsive people. D. It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food and drug behavior. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Impulsive personality linked to food addition B. Food addiction compared to drug use C. Dopamine release caused by food addiction D. Food addiction contributing to obesity 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分）
