You're nervous, but on the surface, you might seem calm or not. 1. ______ Even great athletes like Eminem, Simone Biles, and Lebron James admit to getting nervous, even after many years in their careers. Why? Because they love what they do. They welcome the nerves as it makes them feel alive. So, if you're waiting for a time when you won't be nervous in your athletic or performance career, you might be waiting in vain. The nerves don't disappear when you're excited about your task. In fact, they can help you perform at your best. 2. ______ Our perception of nervousness shapes our reality. If we think it helps, it will; if we think it harms, it might. When you're feeling the physical effects of nerves like frequent trips to the restroom or inability to eat, it's hard to believe they won't affect your performance. But changing your perception of nerves takes time and practice. 3. ______ First, understand that stress isn't always bad. There's "eustress" in social and behavioral sciences, which is good stress and necessary for learning and growth. Without it, we'd be stuck in our comfort zones. Sport psychologists study "individualized zones of optimal functioning" (IZOF). This is the unique state of activation for each person and task, where we can perform at our best. 4. ______ For example, the activation state needed at the start of a long-distance race is different from that in the final sprint. The state for a balance beam routine differs from that for vaulting. To figure out our IZOF for each task, we need to allow for trial and error. We might make mistakes, like being too activated or shutting down. But the only way to find what suits us is to give ourselves room to err. 5. ______ We should keep honing and tweaking throughout the season to reach our peak. A. It's important to note that everyone's experience with nerves is different. B. Nerves can have both positive and negative impacts depending on how we view them. C. One way to begin changing our perception is to recognize the value of stress. D. The optimal zone of functioning varies significantly among different sports. E. This process of trial and error is an essential part of finding our best performance state. F. However, we can learn to manage these physical symptoms effectively. G. And if you haven't, you've surely heard of others who have. Answer Key: 1. G 2. B 3. C 4. D 5. E Passage 2 字数：249 关键词：失踪的鸡 来源：Readers digest It was a Sunday that didn't go as expected for the author. Plans for breakfast were ruined, schoolwork was left ungraded, and after a grocery shopping trip, the discovery of a missing chicken, Margie Orpington, seemed like just another part of the chaos. In urban or suburban areas, a missing backyard chicken might seem impossible, but in rural-residential or agricultural zones, it's not that uncommon. When chickens are free-ranging and curious, there are various reasons one might go missing. Here are some suggestions if you find yourself in this situation. If you have multiple flocks of chickens, they communicate with each other through different vocalizations. These calls help them know about the territory status, especially if there's more than one rooster. Sometimes, the communication is more neighborly, and the chickens figure out their place in the expanded poultry society. If a hen is missing, it's a good idea to check other coops as she might be having a "slumber party" with the other flock. There's no need to disturb them if there are no roosters or if you don't breed separate varieties. You can just sort them out in the morning. Chickens generally like to roost several feet off the ground. This instinct comes from wanting to stay away from ground-based predators. While most are happy with the height of their hen-house perches, some look for even higher places. For example, the author's Dutch bantam, Cuckoo, and Golden Sebright, Dennis, always perched up in the rafters of their coop. 1. What was the author's Sunday like according to the text? A. Everything went smoothly as planned. B. It was a busy day with some unexpected events. C. The author completed all the planned tasks successfully. D. The day was uneventful and quiet. 2. Why is a missing chicken more common in rural-residential or agricultural zones? A. Because the chickens there are less cared for. B. Due to the combination of free-ranging and chickens' curiosity. C. The coops in these areas are not as secure. D. There are more predators that take the chickens away. 3. What should you do if you find a hen is missing and you have multiple flocks? A. Immediately search the surrounding area. B. Ignore it and assume she'll come back on her own. C. Check other coops to see if she's having a "slumber party". D. Put out food to attract her back. 4. Why do chickens prefer to roost high according to the text? A. To get a better view of their surroundings. B. Because it's more comfortable. C. To avoid ground-based predators. D. They like to show off to other chickens. Answer Key: 1. B 2. B 3. C 4. C Passage 3 字数：307 关键词：鸡群健康检查 来源：Readers digest Chickens, like other animals, are susceptible to various health issues, and respiratory infections are among the most concerning. 1. ______ A 2023 study in Poultry Science points out that these infections can lead to significant financial losses in large poultry farms and are also a common worry in backyard flocks. The severity of such infections can vary widely, from mild cases with no mortality to extremely severe ones with a nearly 100% death rate. The cold and damp winter days create favorable conditions for the spread of respiratory infections. 2. ______ However, with proper management and the help of some herbal remedies, the risk to your flock can be reduced. When it comes to identifying respiratory infections in chickens, there are several telltale symptoms. 3. ______ These symptoms may differ depending on the specific cause of the infection. Keep an eye out for coughing, diarrhea, a decrease in egg production, eye or nasal discharge, facial swelling, lethargy, open-mouthed breathing, a rattling sound during breathing, sneezing, and stretching the neck. Moreover, chickens can become severely ill if they have a secondary condition or infection along with the respiratory problem, such as egg yolk peritonitis or internal parasites. There are diverse causes of respiratory infections in chickens. 4. ______ Bacteria, dirty coops, fungal infections, parasitic infections, and viruses can all play a role. Among the numerous possible pathogens, a few are quite common. For example, Infectious Bronchitis is a highly contagious viral disease caused by the infectious bronchitis virus, affecting both the respiratory and reproductive systems. 5. ______ Once one bird gets infected, the entire flock is likely to be affected within 24 to 48 hours. Another example is Avian Influenza, known as bird flu or AI, which can be either high pathogenicity (HPAI) or low pathogenicity (LPAI). While both can cause respiratory symptoms, LPAI outbreaks are more frequent. Options: A. But don't worry too much as there are ways to deal with it. B. This makes it essential for chicken keepers to be vigilant. C. One such way is to maintain a clean and dry coop environment. D. Different symptoms may indicate different degrees of the infection. E. Understanding these causes is crucial for prevention and treatment. F. The impact of these infections on the flock's health cannot be ignored. G. It spreads rapidly within the flock, posing a serious threat. Answer Key: 1. F 2. A 3. B 4. E 5. G 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
