By almost any measure, the answer is yes, but don't let it be all you do. Research shows regular yoga practice lowers your risk for heart disease and tension. Yoga may also lessen（decrease） symptoms of depression, headaches, diabetes, some forms of cancer and pain-related diseases.‎ Yoga also seems to prevent weight gain. One 4-year study from Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center found middle-aged adults who practiced yoga at least once a week gained 3 fewer pounds than those who stuck with other forms of exercise. The same study found overweight adults who practice yoga lost 5 pounds, while a non-yoga group gained 13 pounds. ‎ How can a little bending and stretching do all that? Unlike exercises like running or lifting weights, “yoga puts you in a parasympathetic(副交感神经系统的) state, so your heart rate goes ‎ down and blood pressure goes down,” says Dr. Tiffany Field, director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine.‎ Yoga is tied to a healthier heart, as well as its ability to reduce your stress, improve your mood, and help you sleep more soundly. When you consider the extra health benefits linked to each of those brain and body benefits-lower pain, lower body weight, lower disease risk-you could make an argument that few activities are as good for you as yoga.‎ One thing yoga doesn’t do, though, is burn loads of calories. Even hot forms of yoga like Bikram result in the spending of modest energy－roughly the number of calories you’d burn during a brisk walk. While more and more research suggests calories shouldn’t be your only focus when it comes to diet and exercise, there’s no question that running, swimming, lifting weights and other more vigorous forms of exercise are great for your brain and body.‎ ‎"Yoga is unquestionably good for you," Field says, "but it should be done along with traditional forms of physical activity-not in place of them."‎ ‎24. For those who practise it, what can yoga not do?‎ ‎ A. Consume a lot of calories B. Reduce stress ‎ C. Lessen symptoms of depression D. Help sleep better ‎25. What can we infer from paragraph 5?‎ ‎ A. People tend to pay too much attention to calories when exercising or on a diet.‎ ‎ B. People shouldn’t go on a diet if they do regular yoga practice.‎ ‎ C. Vigorous exercises are good for people’s brain and body.‎ ‎ D. Yoga is a better form of exercise than those vigorous ones.‎ ‎26. What will Field probably advise people to do?‎ ‎ A. Practise yoga daily to stay healthy.‎ ‎ B. Give up other forms of exercise and practise yoga alone.‎ ‎ C. Do other forms of exercise in addition to practising yoga.‎ ‎ D. Consult an expert before practising yoga.‎ ‎27. What is Field’s attitude towards yoga?‎ ‎ A. Recommending B. Doubtful C. Indifferent D. Objective C When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my ‎ customers. She'd watch me coming down her street, and by the time I'd biked up to her doorstep, there'd be a cold drink waiting. I'd sit and drink while she talked.‎ Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, "Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning." she'd say. The first time she said that, soda(汽水) went up my nose.‎ I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she'd work it out of her system. So that's what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地).‎ I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn't see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser(募捐活动). She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she'd had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.‎ I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I'm doing. When I don't say "fine", she sticks around to hear my problems. She's lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn't so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you're doing because they care, and not because they're getting paid to do so. Sometimes it's good to just smile, nod your head and listen.          ‎ ‎28. Why did soda go up the author's nose one time?‎ A. He was shocked. B. He was talking fast.‎ C. He was in a hurry. D. He was absent-minded.‎ ‎29. Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley according to Paragraph 3?‎ A. He wanted to be helpful. B. He enjoyed the drink. ‎ C. He took the chance to rest. D. He tried to please his dad.‎ ‎30. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "work it our of her system"?‎ A. speak out about her past B. move out of the neighborhood C. turn to her old friends D. recover from her sadness ‎ ‎31. What does the author think people in a community should do?‎ A. Care about one another. B. Depend on each other.‎ C. Pay for other's help D. Open up to others.‎ D I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.‎ My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old. It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.‎ As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.‎ I always read, using different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .‎ Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation to generation.‎ As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and 1 think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.‎ ‎32. Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child?‎ A. Inseparable. B. Uneasy. C. Cooperative. D. Casual. ‎ ‎33. What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A. Pleasure from working in the library. ‎ B. A closer bond developed with the readers.‎ C. Wonderment from acting out the stories. ‎ D. Joy of reading passed on in the family. ‎ ‎34. What does the author call on other writers to do?‎ A. Support libraries. B. Write for social media. ‎ C. Sponsor book fairs. D. Purchase her novels. ‎ ‎35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Reading: A Source of Knowledge B. My Love of the Library ‎ C. Library: A Haven for the Young D. My Idea about writing 第二节 七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Remember What You Read Reading is important.

Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read.‎ ‎   __37__       ‎ If the plot, characters, or word usage is confusing for you, you likely won't be able to remember what you read. It's a bit like reading a foreign language. If you don't understand what you're reading, how would you remember it? But there are a few things you can do... Use a dictionary; look up the difficult words.‎ ‎  Are you connected?‎ Does a character remind you of a friend? Does the setting make you want to visit the place?
