27、o us,"The two of you will never amount to anything."There was some snickering（ 竊笑） from some of the seniors as the teacher continued,"From now on,I am not going to waste any more time on either of you.I am only going to spend my time with these class leaders.You two are the class down

28、s with bad grades,and you will never amount to anything.Now get out of here.”That teacher did Mike and me the biggest favor of all.While what she said was true in many ways and her words hurt us deeply,her words also inspired both of us to work even harder.They carried us through college and into ou

29、r own businesses.A few years ago,Mike and I attended our high school reunion.It was nice to visit with people with whom we had spent three years during a period of time when none of us really knew who we were.It was also interesting to see that most of the so-called senior leaders had not become suc

30、cessful in the years after high school.I tell this story because Mike and I were not academic whiz kids.We were neither financial experts nor athletic stars.For the most part,we were slow-to-average learners and students.In my opinion,we were not as naturally gifted as our fathers.Yet it was our tea

31、cher's stinging words and the snickering from our classmates that gave us the strength to move forward,to learn from our mistakes and to keep doing in both good times and bad times.Just because you didn't do well in school,were not popular,bad in math,or have other reasons to underestimate y

32、ourself-none of them count in the long run.They only count if you think they count.For those who're considering beginning your own financial fast track,you may have some doubts about your abilities.Trust that you have everything you need right now to be successful financially.All it takes to bri

37、to promote movement are being adopted in schools."We need to recognize that children are movement-based,"said Brian Gatens,the superintendent of schools in Emerson,N.J."In schools,we sometimes are pushing against human nature in asking them to sit still and be quiet all the time.We fa

38、ll into this trap that if kids are at their desks with their heads down and are silent and writing,we think they are learning,"Mr.Gatens added."But what we have found is that the active time used to energize your brain makes all those still moments better,or more productive."A 2013 re

39、port from the Institute of Medicine concluded that children who are more active show greater attention,have faster cognitive processing speed and perform better on standardized academic tests than children who are less active.And a study released in January by Lund University in Sweden shows that st

40、udents,especially boys,who had daily physical education,did better in school. Daily physical activity is an opportunity for the average school to become a high-performing school,"said Jesper Fritz,a doctoral student at Lund University and physician at the Skane University Hospital in Malmo who

41、was the study's lead author. Activity helps the brain in so many ways,"said James F.Sallis,a professor of family medicineand public health at the University of California,San Diego,who has done research on the association between activity breaks and classroom behavior."Activity stimula

42、tes more blood vessels in the brain to support more brain cells.And there is evidence that active kids do better on standardized tests and pay attention more in school.""Plus,"he added,"it makes kids want to come to school more-it's fun to do these activities."But not al

43、l districts are embracing the trend of movement breaks."The bottom line is that with only six and a half hours during the day,our priority is academics,"said Tom Hernandez,the director of community relations for the Plainfield School District in Illinois,about 40 miles southwest of Chicago

44、.He said that under state law,the schools provide daily physical education classes and that teachers in the district find ways to give students time during the day to refresh and recharge. Kids aren't meant to sit still all day and take in information,"said Steve Boyle,one of the cofounders

45、 of the National Association of Physical Literacy,which aims to bring movement into schools."Adults aren't either."32 .Brain Gatens is likely to agree thatA.all of the students should sit still33 sitting still often means studying wellC.being quite is actually human natureD.always sitt

46、ing doesn't have good effects34 .According to Jesper Fritz,we can infer that_A.activity helps the brain in only one wayB.activities can make children physically and mentally healthyC.activities have nothing to do with children's academic performancesD.Daily activity is a chance for the avera

47、ge school to become a high one35 .According to John Ratey,the reasons why activities make students clever is that_A.they stimulate more blood vessels in the bodyB.they activates all the brain cells but are tough on bodiesC.they give children fun and motivate all the brains to workD.they give student

49、in.And it makes sense.Why should we judge someone who is overweight simply by how they look?It has nothing to do with them as a person,and it says nothing about all they have achieved in life.37 We should not judge them as healthy simply because they are thin.We care so much about weight that we thi

50、nk those who succeed in keeping a"healthy weight"must be healthy.Many studies have shown that being overweight increases the risk of diabetes,heart disease, and even death.37 Some studies just look at pounds.Some use body mass index(BMI) which includes both height and weight measurements.B

51、ut neither one says anything about overall health for sure.In some studies,a person's fitness has been shown to be more important than overall weight.That means those at"normal"weight,but below average fitness could be at higher risk than fitter and heavier people.38If you are thin and

52、 want to know if your health may be at risk,whole body MRIs(磁共振成像)can tell you if you are a TOFI(thin on the outside,fat on the inside).This is thought to increase your health risk even if you have a perfect body weight. 39_Rather,creating and keeping healthy lifestyle habits should be the goal.Star

53、t now and you will be on your way to improving your overall health.40_But even if it doesn't,rest assured you are still improving your health and your life.A.The same holds true for thin people.B.Weight loss will usually naturally follow.C.The article mainly talks about people in Australia.D.So

54、weight loss should not be what we always dream of.E.How many times do you say,"She looks great!Nice and thin!"?F.But the problem lies with how we can know we are overweight.G.So there is no such thing as healthy weight,only healthy lifestyles.第三部分語言運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分 30分）第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題1分，滿分15分）閱讀下面短
