A lot of people find it difficult to do exercise regularly, even though they know it’s good for their physical and mental (身心上的) health. Yet keeping on a workout routine doesn’t necessarily go to the gym or run around your neighborhood. Gardening is a great example of a popular hobby that can be used as a workout.
Nashville resident Tom Adkinson, 72, is on board with the idea of gardening to stay fit. He has three gardens, which he uses primarily to grow tomatoes, sweet banana peppers and okra. Like traditional exercise, Adkinson does a lot of preparation before gardening, and then he spends hours watering and weeding (除草) all three gardens, involving bending and stretching, which he compares to performing garden yoga.
“It is wise of Adkinson to do so. Even though gardening may not appear difficult, using the body in new ways can make you hurt if you don’t warm up beforehand,” said Zeller, who teaches at the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County in New Jersey.
Working in your garden just two hours a week could improve your mood. And the communal gardening, which is done by a number of people as a group in communities and schools, provides social benefits that can reduce stress and help fight against loneliness and even dementia according to studies.
“With all these benefits, gardening for fitness will be a trend (趋势) in the coming year,” announced Mandal, CEO of the fitness coaching app Future, “Our users at Future have already been asking their coaches to add gardening and landscaping activities into their routines because it’s easy to get and fit into their lifestyle.”
4. What do the underlined words “on board with” mean in paragraph 2?
A. In support of. B. At the risk of.
C. Under the control of. D. In opposition to.
5. What did Zeller probably suggest doing before gardening?
A. Having a good rest.
B. Getting enough water ready.
C. Doing warm-up exercise.
D. Preparing tools for weeding.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Tips for gardening.
B. The benefits of gardening.
C. The process of garden management.
D. The difference between personal and group gardening.
7. Which activity may be added to the app Future according to Mandal?
A. Running. B. Yoga. C. Gardening. D. Walking.

When I was a foreign teacher in China, I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that no one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,” they answered.
“How do you know?” was my logical question. They answered that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their concern. I was surprised. “So Mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as ‘I love you’? Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed that getting good grades and finding good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a country where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these questions in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different responses. Some of them had exchanged those feelings with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged (拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone, I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth (深刻) of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing (祝福) we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
8. Why was the foreign teacher shocked?
A. Because the students say “I love you” to her.
B. Because the students don’t know the meaning of “I love you”.
C. Because the students’ moms don’t love them.
D. Because her students and their moms didn’t say “I love you” to each other.
9. Chinese people prefer to show love by ________.
A. buying gifts B. hugging each other
C. saying “I love you” D. doing something meaningful
10. In Paragraph 4, what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging?
A. She loves her daughter and misses her.
B. She is meeting her daughter at the door.
C. She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.
D. She is glad that she has more time to herself.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Say “I love you” more to your family.
B. Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.
C. Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people.
D. Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.
D
What makes preschoolers eat their vegetables? Raise their hand? Wait their turn? “Because I say so” is a comment that parents often repeat. But when it comes to getting kids to behave, a recent study by Duke University researchers suggests that the voice of adult authority isn’t the only thing that matters. Around age three, fitting in with the group starts to count big too.
To understand what cause preschoolers to fall in line, the researchers conducted a test in a lab, where they invited 3.5-year-olds to help set up for a pretend tea party. Each of the 104 children was given a blue sticker(贴纸)to wear at the start of the study, and told that the people with that color sticker were part of the same team. Next the researchers watched as the children decided among different kinds of teas, snacks, cups and plates for the tea party, first on their own and then after listening to the choices of other team members.
Sometimes the other team members considered their choice as a matter of personal preference (“For my tea party today, I feel like using this snack.”) Other times they presented it as a need shared by the whole group. (“For our tea parties today, we always use this kind of snack.”)
After listening to the choices of others, most of the time the children stuck with their first choice. In other words, children who had said they felt like using, say, the cookie finally picked the cookie no matter what the other person said they were using. But 23% of the time the children changed their choice to accept someone else’s. And when they did, they were more likely to go along with the other person when a choice was presented as a group need rather than just a personal preference. The finding held up even when the other person was another child, not an adult.
12. What’s the recent study mainly about?
A. Parent training. B. Social rules.
C. Child behavior. D. Eating habits.
13. What does the underlined word “fall in line” refer to in paragraph 2?
A. Stand in a line. B. Join the group.
C Listen to the parents. D. Attend a party.
14. What made children accept others’ choice?
A. The common need. B. The advice of adults.
C. The delicious cookie. D. The individual preference.
15. Which of the following is suitable title for the text?
A. Adults Are Losing Their Authority
B. 3-Year-Olds Want to Fit into the Group.
C. Children Are Not Born Knowing What to Do
D. Kids Are Acting Out of a Sense of Copying Adults.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I looked out at the smiling faces packed into the school hall. Flashes from cameras lit up in all directions. The applause filled my ears. I had done it. I had really done it.
Just a few months earlier, I would never have pictured myself acting in a play in front of two hundred people. “Not for a million dollars,” I would have said. But when the time came I got up on stage and faced one of my greatest fears - and discovered I could do more than I ever gave myself credit (认可) for. I found a new person inside me, a much more daring, outgoing person who had been hidden all along, just waiting for the opportunity to appear.
If not for my teacher, Mrs. Sather, I might never have found that opportunity.
In the first and second grade, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn’t in my personality to be very outgoing, even when I knew someone well. I was afraid I would do or say something wrong, so usually I just smiled and listened to other people’s conversations. I did well in school and I loved to write. However, I would escape into my writing, where I could be myself and never had to worry about what other people thought of me. In my stories, I was never shy.
My teacher, Mrs. Sather, always encouraged me to write more. She told our class to go after our dreams and dig in with both hands. I think she was one of the first people to see my inner strength. One day, she announced that our class was going to perform a play she had written. “I’ll begin to cast (为……选派角色) everyone tomorrow,” she said. “I need someone who is not afraid to be on stage in front of a lot of people to play the lead part of Dorothy. Does anybody want to try?” A few excited hands shot up - mine, of course, was not one of them - and Mrs. Sather smiled. “We’ll talk more about it tomorrow,” she said. Then the bell rang and my classmates slowly left the classroom.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs. Sather asked me to go to her:
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Hearing Mrs. Sather’s words, I realized it was time to make a change.

A lot of people find it difficult to do exercise regularly, even though they know it’s good for their physical and mental (身心上的) health. Yet keeping on a workout routine doesn’t necessarily go to the gym or run around your neighborhood. Gardening is a great example of a popular hobby that can be used as a workout.
Nashville resident Tom Adkinson, 72, is on board with the idea of gardening to stay fit. He has three gardens, which he uses primarily to grow tomatoes, sweet banana peppers and okra. Like traditional exercise, Adkinson does a lot of preparation before gardening, and then he spends hours watering and weeding (除草) all three gardens, involving bending and stretching, which he compares to performing garden yoga.
“It is wise of Adkinson to do so. Even though gardening may not appear difficult, using the body in new ways can make you hurt if you don’t warm up beforehand,” said Zeller, who teaches at the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County in New Jersey.
Working in your garden just two hours a week could improve your mood. And the communal gardening, which is done by a number of people as a group in communities and schools, provides social benefits that can reduce stress and help fight against loneliness and even dementia according to studies.
“With all these benefits, gardening for fitness will be a trend (趋势) in the coming year,” announced Mandal, CEO of the fitness coaching app Future, “Our users at Future have already been asking their coaches to add gardening and landscaping activities into their routines because it’s easy to get and fit into their lifestyle.”
4. What do the underlined words “on board with” mean in paragraph 2?
A. In support of. B. At the risk of.
C. Under the control of. D. In opposition to.
5. What did Zeller probably suggest doing before gardening?
A. Having a good rest.
B. Getting enough water ready.
C. Doing warm-up exercise.
D. Preparing tools for weeding.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Tips for gardening.
B. The benefits of gardening.
C The process of garden management.
D. The difference between personal and group gardening.
7. Which activity may be added to the app Future according to Mandal?
A. Running. B. Yoga. C. Gardening. D. Walking.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了园艺是一个用来锻炼的好方式。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的内容,尤其最后一句“...which he compares to performing garden yoga.(他把这比作“做花园瑜伽”)”可知,Tom Adkinson赞同通过园艺来保持健康的想法。由此可知,划线词意思为“支持、赞同”与“In support of”一致。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“泽勒在新泽西州开普梅县罗格斯大学合作推广中心任教,他说:“尽管园艺看起来并不难,但如果你事先不热身,以新的方式使用身体可能会让你受伤。””可推断,泽勒建议在做园艺之前要先热身。故选C。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段内容可知,每周在花园里花两个小时可以改善心情,减轻压力,帮助对抗孤独甚至痴呆症。故第四段主要介绍做园艺的好处。故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段““With all these benefits, gardening for fitness will be a trend(趋势)in the coming year,” announced Mandal, CEO of the fitness coaching app Future, “Our users at Future have already been asking their coaches to add gardening and landscaping activities into their routines because it’s easy to get and fit into their lifestyle.”(健身指导应用Future的首席执行官曼达尔宣布:“有了这些好处,园艺健身将在明年成为一种趋势。我们Future的用户已经要求他们的教练将园艺和景观美化活动添加到他们的日常生活中,因为这很容易融入他们的生活方式。”)”可知,园艺可能会添加到应用程序Future中。故选C。

When I was a foreign teacher in China, I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that no one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,” they answered.
“How do you know?” was my logical question. They answered that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their concern. I was surprised. “So Mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as ‘I love you’? Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed that getting good grades and finding good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a country where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these questions in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different responses. Some of them had exchanged those feelings with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged (拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone, I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth (深刻) of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing (祝福) we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
8. Why was the foreign teacher shocked?
A. Because the students say “I love you” to her.
B. Because the students don’t know the meaning of “I love you”.
C. Because the students’ moms don’t love them.
D. Because her students and their moms didn’t say “I love you” to each other.
9. Chinese people prefer to show love by ________.
A. buying gifts B. hugging each other
C. saying “I love you” D. doing something meaningful
10. In Paragraph 4, what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging?
A. She loves her daughter and misses her.
B. She is meeting her daughter at the door.
C. She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.
D. She is glad that she has more time to herself.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Say “I love you” more to your family.
B. Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.
C. Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people.
D. Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是在表达爱意的方式上,不同文化背景下的家庭有着截然不同的习惯与理解。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that no one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them.(有一天,话题转到了说“我爱你”。我很震惊地了解到,我的学生中没有人对他们的妈妈说过‘我爱你’,他们的妈妈也没有对他们说过。)” 可知,外教震惊是因为她的学生和学生的妈妈之间都没有对彼此说过 “我爱你”。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“They answered that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their concern. I was surprised. “So Mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as ‘I love you’? Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed that getting good grades and finding good jobs would be how they showed their love.(他们回答说,他们的妈妈做饭,总是告诉他们做错了什么,以表示他们的关心。我很惊讶。“所以妈妈的烹饪和批评被解读为‘我爱你’?那你怎么对她说‘我爱你’呢?”他们一致认为,取得好成绩,然后找到好工作是他们表达爱的方式)”可推知,中国人喜欢通过做一些有意义的事情来表达爱。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged (拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone, I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”(当她从大学回家时,她妈妈在门口迎接她并拥抱了她。这种情况以前从未发生过,但她的妈妈说:“你走了以后,我有更多的时间属于自己。我注意到有些地方妈妈和孩子会互相拥抱,于是我觉得这是个好主意,我也会开始拥抱你。”)”可知,在第四段中,女儿从大学回到家,妈妈出于想念和爱,拥抱了女人,所以母亲拥抱的真正含义是她爱她的女儿,想念她。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth (深度) of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing (祝福语) we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.(在我家,我们都经常说“我爱你”。虽然我们经常说的话在那一刻没有很深的感情是事实,这几乎就像我们给对方的祝福。即使是作为问候,这三个小字也意味深长,尤其是当它们是我们对所爱的人说的最后一句话或听到的最后一句话时)”结合文章主要说明了作者在中国当外教时发现,中国父母和孩子不应该表达对彼此的爱,而是通过做一些有意义的事情,作者建议多和家人表达爱意。可知,这篇文章的主旨是对家人多说“我爱你”。故选A。
D
What makes preschoolers eat their vegetables? Raise their hand? Wait their turn? “Because I say so” is a comment that parents often repeat. But when it comes to getting kids to behave, a recent study by Duke University researchers suggests that the voice of adult authority isn’t the only thing that matters. Around age three, fitting in with the group starts to count big too.
To understand what cause preschoolers to fall in line, the researchers conducted a test in a lab, where they invited 3.5-year-olds to help set up for a pretend tea party. Each of the 104 children was given a blue sticker(贴纸)to wear at the start of the study, and told that the people with that color sticker were part of the same team. Next the researchers watched as the children decided among different kinds of teas, snacks, cups and plates for the tea party, first on their own and then after listening to the choices of other team members.
Sometimes the other team members considered their choice as a matter of personal preference (“For my tea party today, I feel like using this snack.”) Other times they presented it as a need shared by the whole group. (“For our tea parties today, we always use this kind of snack.”)
After listening to the choices of others, most of the time the children stuck with their first choice. In other words, children who had said they felt like using, say, the cookie finally picked the cookie no matter what the other person said they were using. But 23% of the time the children changed their choice to accept someone else’s. And when they did, they were more likely to go along with the other person when a choice was presented as a group need rather than just a personal preference. The finding held up even when the other person was another child, not an adult.
12 What’s the recent study mainly about?
A. Parent training. B. Social rules.
C. Child behavior. D. Eating habits.
13. What does the underlined word “fall in line” refer to in paragraph 2?
A. Stand in a line. B. Join the group.
C. Listen to the parents. D. Attend a party.
14 What made children accept others’ choice?
A. The common need. B. The advice of adults.
C. The delicious cookie. D. The individual preference.
15. Which of the following is suitable title for the text?
A. Adults Are Losing Their Authority
B. 3-Year-Olds Want to Fit into the Group.
C. Children Are Not Born Knowing What to Do
D. Kids Are Acting Out of a Sense of Copying Adults.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。很多人认为孩子行为规矩是因为成年人对他们所提出的要求,最近的一项研究表明,成年人权威的声音并不是唯一重要的事情。在三岁左右,融入群体也开始变得重要起来。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But when it comes to getting kids to behave, a recent study by Duke University researchers suggests that the voice of adult authority isn’t the only thing that matters. Around age three, fitting in with the group starts to count big too.(但说到让孩子规规矩矩,杜克大学(Duke University)研究人员最近的一项研究表明,成年人权威的声音并不是唯一重要的事情。在三岁左右,融入群体也开始变得重要起来。)”可知,这项研究主要是关于孩子们的行为,故选C。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段“What makes preschoolers eat their vegetables? Raise their hand? Wait their turn? “Because I say so” is a comment that parents often repeat. (是什么让学龄前儿童吃蔬菜?举手吗?等待轮到它们吗?“因为我这么说”是父母经常重复的一句话。)”可知,很多父母认为孩子的行为是因为父母提出的要求,孩子听从父母的要求,结合第一小题的解析可知,对孩子行为的研究表明,成年人的声音不是唯一重要的事情,融入集体也有很大影响。结合划线词所在句“To understand what cause preschoolers to fall in line, the researchers conducted a test in a lab, where they invited 3.5-year-olds to help set up for a pretend tea party. (为了了解是什么原因导致学龄前儿童fall in line,研究人员在实验室里进行了一项测试,他们邀请3.5岁的孩子帮助布置一个虚拟的茶话会。)”可知,研究是为了了解孩子融入集体的原因,由此可推知,短语fall in line表示“融入集体”,故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“But 23% of the time the children changed their choice to accept someone else’s. And when they did, they were more likely to go along with the other person when a choice was presented as a group need rather than just a personal preference. The finding held up even when the other person was another child, not an adult.(但有23%的孩子改变了选择,接受了别人的选择。当他们这样做的时候,当一个选择作为群体需要而不是个人偏好出现时,他们更有可能同意另一个人的选择。即使对方是另一个孩子,而不是成年人,这一发现仍然成立。)”可知,孩子会根据集体需要而改变自己的选择。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文结合第一段“But when it comes to getting kids to behave, a recent study by Duke University researchers suggests that the voice of adult authority isn’t the only thing that matters. Around age three, fitting in with the group starts to count big too.(但说到让孩子规规矩矩,杜克大学(Duke University)研究人员最近的一项研究表明,成年人权威的声音并不是唯一重要的事情。在三岁左右,融入群体也开始变得重要起来。)”可知,本文主要是关于一项对孩子行为的研究,研究结果表明,三岁孩子会因为群体需求而改变自己的选择,融入群体对孩子的行为产生影响,所以B项“3-Year-Olds Want to Fit into the Group.(3岁的孩子想融入群体。)”符合文章中心主旨,适合作为本文标题,故选B。

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I looked out at the smiling faces packed into the school hall. Flashes from cameras lit up in all directions. The applause filled my ears. I had done it. I had really done it.
Just a few months earlier, I would never have pictured myself acting in a play in front of two hundred people. “Not for a million dollars,” I would have said. But when the time came I got up on stage and faced one of my greatest fears - and discovered I could do more than I ever gave myself credit (认可) for. I found a new person inside me, a much more daring, outgoing person who had been hidden all along, just waiting for the opportunity to appear.
If not for my teacher, Mrs. Sather, I might never have found that opportunity.
In the first and second grade, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn’t in my personality to be very outgoing, even when I knew someone well. I was afraid I would do or say something wrong, so usually I just smiled and listened to other people’s conversations. I did well in school and I loved to write. However, I would escape into my writing, where I could be myself and never had to worry about what other people thought of me. In my stories, I was never shy.
My teacher, Mrs. Sather, always encouraged me to write more. She told our class to go after our dreams and dig in with both hands. I think she was one of the first people to see my inner strength. One day, she announced that our class was going to perform a play she had written. “I’ll begin to cast (为……选派角色) everyone tomorrow,” she said. “I need someone who is not afraid to be on stage in front of a lot of people to play the lead part of Dorothy. Does anybody want to try?” A few excited hands shot up - mine, of course, was not one of them - and Mrs. Sather smiled. “We’ll talk more about it tomorrow,” she said. Then the bell rang and my classmates slowly left the classroom.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs. Sather asked me to go to her:
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Hearing Mrs. Sather’s words, I realized it was time to make a change.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】续写例文:
When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs. Sather asked me to go to her. With doubt, I came up to her. Giving me a meaningful look, she asked gently, “Why didn’t you raise your hand?” Hanging my head and staring at the ground, I did not know how to respond. Mrs. Sather continued, “I know your inner strength clearly by reading the stories you wrote about. I would love you to give this a try.” I was so shocked that I raised my head, eyes wide open. She smiled heartily. “Just make yourself fully prepared.”
Hearing Mrs. Sather’s words, I realized it was time to make a change. After getting home, I read the play carefully several times, and the figure of Dorothy gradually appeared in my mind. The next day, when Mrs. Sather cast the characters, I lifted up my hand quickly and firmly. After we presented the ideas and lines, she announced that I would be the one to play the lead part. Overwhelmed with joy, I got involved in rehearsal in no time. And the following was what you read in the beginning.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者是一个害羞的人,但Sather老师经常鼓励作者,一天,她宣布作者所在的班级要上演一个她写的剧本,第二天就开始给每个人试镜,她需要一个不怕站在舞台上面对公众的人来扮演主角Dorothy的角色,很多人都想试试,但是作者没有举手,这时下课铃响起,同学们慢慢地离开了教室。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“当我在装背包的时候,Sather老师叫我去她那儿。”可知,第一段可描写Sather老师鼓励作者演Dorothy这个角色的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“听到Sather老师的话,我意识到是时候做出改变了。”可知,第二段可描写作者听取了老师的话,担任主角并且迅速排练的过程。
2.续写线索:Sather老师鼓励——反复读剧本——同意参加——努力练习——担任主角——获得成功
