There was a fine piece of carving stone material,but it was ruined by an unskilled sculptor.
Mistakenly,he dug a hole on the part that was originally for the figure's leg.So this rare piece of
marble(大理石)was abandoned in a church.
One day,someone called in Michelangelo.They believed only he was able to make use of this
piece of marble.Michelangelo looked at the stone and concluded that he could carve out a beautiful
figure as long as he got the design adjusted to hide the damaged part.
Michelangelo decided to carve the young David.One day,the mayor (of the city entered
the studio.He regarded himself as a carving expert and appreciated the work.He told Michelangelo
that his work was a fantastic masterpiece,but the nose was too big.
Michelangelo knew the mayor was standing right below the statue,so his visual angle was
incorrect.Without a word,he asked the mayor to climb up the platform following him to the nose
position.He then picked up a tool and some small pieces of marble.Michelangelo began to carve
gently with the tool and made the collected stone pieces in his hand drop bit by bit.In fact,he didn't
change the nose,but it seemed as if he did.After several minutes,he stood aside and said,"Now,have
a look!"The mayor answered,"This is better.You have made it true to life."
Everyone believes they are right.If you try to persuade others to change their grounds by words,
the reasoning of your argument may fall on deaf ears.Learn to prove the correctness of ideas in an
indirect way.Getting the support of others through your own actions will be more powerful.One can
never win if he only relies on arguments.

When Leonardo da Vinci wasn't painting masterpieces or dreaming up flying machines,he was
exploring the secrets of gravity.Considering himself a scientist and artist,this Renaissance thinker
spent untold hours studying how the "attraction of one object to another"affected phenomena like the
flight of birds and the fall of water.
内C
Recent research published in the journal Leonardo reveals that da Vinci conducted detailed
:
gravity experiments over a century before Galileo and two centuries prior to Newton."His thinking
订
was far ahead of his time,"said co-author Dr.Morteza Gharib.The study highlights Leonardo's
determination to find the law governing the dynamics of falling objects.
不C
Dr.Gharib said he discovered the experiments while examining an online version of The Codex
Arundel,a collection of Leonardo's notes from 1478 to 1518.Among its mirror-written texts,a
drawing on Page 143 caught his eye:a triangle (formed by circles pouring from a pot.He used
要C
a computer program to flip (the triangle and the nearby backward writing.Suddenly,the image
came to life."I could see motion,"Dr.Gharib recalled."I could see him pouring stuff out."It was a
eureka moment that revealed Leonardo's forward-looking experiment.
Gazing at Leonardo's drawing,Dr.Gharib realized that the artist had separated gravity's effects
答C
into two components,revealing a normally hidden aspect of nature.Inspired by hail falling from
fast-moving clouds,Leonardo demonstrated through his drawing how gravity's constant force causes
a steady speed gain-shown by the increasing gaps between falling objects as the pot moves.
线
Despite his basic experimental setup 500 years ago,da Vinci calculated the gravitational constant
题C
to an accuracy within 10 percent of the modern value."It's mind-boggling,"Dr.Gharib said."That's
the beauty of what Leonardo does."
However,Dr.Gharib hesitated to examine The Codex Arundel further."I'm like a kid in a toy
store,afraid to even look at it,"he said.He noted that while art historians had studied it,scientists had
not."It's an open book with so much to discover."

28.What is the primary purpose of the text?
A.To present da Vinci's unknown research.
B.To compare da Vinci with other scientists.
C.To prove da Vinci's artist and scientist role.D.To show a way of analyzing da Vinci's notes.
29.What does the phrase"a eureka moment"in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Finding da Vinci's secret drawings.
B.Recognizing the need of mirror-writing.
C.Discovering the power of technology.
D.Realizing the triangle's scientific meaning.

:
A.They were the first to explore the law of gravity
装
B.They achieved high-level accuracy with simple tools
C.They focused on the beauty of falling objects'motion.
D.They combined artistic strategy with scientific method.
31.What can we learn about The Codex Arundel according to Dr.Gharib?

C.It contains unexplored scientific insights.
D.New tools are required to discover its secrets.

Lifestyle creep,sometimes called lifestyle inflation ()is when living expenses and
non-essential expenses grow with income.In bad cases of lifestyle creep,this unnecessary spending
can cut into savings.
Lifestyle creep is most visible among high earners,but anyone can fall into this trap.Who hasn't
justified eating out more often every week after receiving a 1 or 2 percent raise?The temptation of a
more costly lifestyle is difficult to resist.If you're making enough money to afford a larger apartment,
订
shouldn't you move to a larger apartment?
Improving your standard of living as your income increases isn't an objectively bad thing,but
when that habit cuts into your savings efforts,it can be a major financial risk.As Katie Waters,a
financial planner at Stable Waters Financial,says,"Something's got to give."
Then how to avoid lifestyle creep?It just takes the same moderation and planning you used when
you had a smaller income.If you can,head off lifestyle creep from the beginning by giving your raise
or bonus money a purpose immediately.This can be used to pay down debt,save for a house,or add
to retirement accounts.This way,you won't be tempted to spend it on a non-necessity.If you fear
you've already fallen victim to lifestyle inflation at any level,you can still turn your spending around.
If you are putting all your expenses on your credit card,Waters recommends rearranging so that only
routine,fixed monthly expenses are on the card."The monthly variable costs-food,clothing,
personal care,purchases for the home,the list goes on-are where your money slips away
的
easily,"Waters says."Calculate your possible savings each pay period and put that money into a
separate checking account."
"As with all things,the secret to managing your finances like an adult is a constant strive for
:
balance,"Waters says."Have fun along the way,but don't let the tail wag the dog."
32.What is characteristic of lifestyle creep?
A.It could accelerate income growth.
B.It only traps people with a high income.
C.It might affect a person's savings.
D.It generally represents a high living standard.

33.Why are Katie Waters'words quoted in paragraph 3?
A.To provide advice on finance.
B.To support the author's point.
C.To highlight giving in one's life
D.To justify a more costly lifestyle.
34.Which measure helps avoid lifestyle creep?
A.Putting all the expenses on a credit card.
B.Saving the bonus money for non-necessities.
C.Increasing the monthly costs on food and clothing.
D.Setting different checking accounts for specific purposes.
35.What does the phrase"don't let the tail wag the dog"imply?
A.Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
B.Don't put the cart before the horse.
C.Don't do one thing under the cover of another.
D.Don't count the chickens before they are hatched.

There's a reason why so many people love running early in the morning.36 Not only do
you begin your day more relaxed and refreshed,but you've already started things off with an
accomplishment.If you think you're ready to take advantage of the benefits of a morning run,here are
some reflections from the professionals.
Finding a partner to run with will give you someone to be responsible for,and make it much
harder to blow of the run.It's also important to remember that this is a process,and you can't expect
to do it perfectly from the beginning.37"Once you get into the habit,it becomes natural and
actually jump starts your day,"says Sheri Piers,top American finisher at the 2012 Boston Marathon.
"The first few steps or blocks will be tough in the morning.They always are,"says Dr.Jordan
Metzl,who has over 32 marathon finishes under his belt.With a practice of more than 20,000 patients,
Metzl's days are jam-packed,so early morning runs are a must.38"Sometimes you have to
just do it,and remember that the motivation will come later,"he says.
39"If I go to bed in my sportswear,all I need to do is throw on the outer layers and head
out the door.At least that takes away some of the inconvenience,"says Tina Muir,a half-marathoner.
She also leaves her alarm on the other side of the room to help push herself up.
"I view waking up early like tearing off a Band-Aid,"says Michele Gonzalez,a running coach,
“'it gonna hurt for a bit..”_40_“You just have to set the alarm early and start doing it,”she says..
"After a few days,you'll be tired earlier at night and will start going to bed earlier.This makes the
early alarm feel a bit more manageable."
A.Have a training plan.
B.It has major benefits.
C.Her advice is relatively simple.
D.It's just like warming up a car in the winter.
E.Even if you have a setback or two,keep at it.
F.Still,he knows how hard it can be to get motivated.
G.The worst part is getting changed in the cold air,especially in winter.

As a young boy,I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad.He was a rural mail carrier
and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him.Driving through the countryside was always an
adventure:there were animals to see,people to visit,and chocolate cookies to enjoy.
On Dad's final day of work,it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at
:
内○
least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to appreciate him for his friendship
and his years of service."Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route,"he used to say,"and a
订
story at every one."One lady had no mailbox,so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she
was nearly blind.He once lectured me that to bring everyone plain pleasure was his greatest pleasure,
不O
which has stuck in my mind so far.
With a heavy heart,I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad's death,and the
mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories.I thought I knew them all,but that
wasn't the case.
As I drove home,I noticed two lamp poles ()one on each side of the street.When my dad
要O
was around,those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground.One box was painted
green,and the other was red,and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering:Santa
Claus,NORTH POLE.For years children had dropped letters to Santa Claus through those holes.I
was among the kids whose letters were always answered in time.
I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our
答○
house.Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when Frank Townsend arrived.He was Dad's
postmaster and great friend for many years.There was some silver hair on his head.Clearly,time and
sorrow had left deep wrinkles on his forehead.Sitting down at the table,he started to tell old stories.
