A
My roommate Lily was well organized, while I was not. Each of her things had its place, but mine were always hidden somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签于) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Lily got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Lily came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed! “Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Lily answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy (同情) rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so lost in my work that I even didn’t notice Lily had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression a kind of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Lily and I stayed roommates for the rest of the college years. We didn’t always agree, but we learned.

I start my workday early, parking myself in front of my home computer and often forgetting to get up for hours. But one thing I try to do every day is take a ten-minute walk around midday.
Walking at lunchtime is a smart thing to do, a new study finds. This doesn’t seem like news. After all, we’ve known forever that doing exercise is good for us. But as The New York Times points out, those fitness studies typically looked at the effects of exercise plans in the long run. This new study looks at changes that happen more quickly, from one day to the next or even from this hour to the next hour.
For the study, researchers gathered a group of mostly sedentary(久坐的) office workers in the UK. All were out of shape, but otherwise emotionally and physically healthy. Researchers asked them to take 30-minute lunchtime walks, three days a week for 10 weeks. The volunteers were also asked to install apps on their phones, so that the researchers could send the volunteers questions after they walked. Then the researchers used those answers to judge how the volunteers were feeling about life and work, and to measure their feelings about everything from stress and tension to motivation.
When the researchers compared the volunteers’ answers on the afternoons when they walked to those on the afternoons they didn’t walk, there was quite a difference. On the days when they had a lunchtime walk, the volunteers said they felt less stressed, more energetic and more relaxed versus(与……相对) on the days when they didn’t walk.
Unfortunately, the researchers said many of the volunteers didn’t believe they’d be able to continue walking once the study ended, mainly because they were expected to work through
their lunch breaks. It’s an understandable response, but a sad one.
5. How does the new study differ from other fitness studies?
A. It calls on people to have a walk after lunch.
B. It focuses on the short-term effects of walking.
C. It mainly pays attention to sedentary office workers.
D. It aims at studying the relationship between exercise and health.
6. Why were the volunteers required to install apps on their phones?
A. To record their time spent online.
B To know how long they walked.
C. To prevent them from getting lost.
D To respond to the researchers’ questions.
7. What is the finding of the new study?
A. Lunchtime walks can soon improve people’s mood.
B. Office workers usually have little time to go for a walk.
C. A sedentary lifestyle is linked to an increased risk of disease.
D. Walking brings more advantages to people than other exercise.
8. What can we infer about the volunteers from the last paragraph?
A. They will spend more time walking.
B. Some of them tend to be more outgoing.
C. Most of them will perform better at work.
D. They may stop lunchtime walks due to work pressure.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲埃及政府在修建大坝时拯救文物遗址的努力。
1.考查名词复数。句意:大坝的水可能会损坏许多寺庙,并摧毁埃及文化遗产的重要组成部分。relic表“遗迹”,为可数名词,而这里应用复数形式,表示泛指,和and前temples为并列关系,在本句中作宾语。故填relics。
