17、 an English village, make sure to look out for morris dancing. Undoubtedly one of the strangest traditions of English culture, morris dancing is a form of folk dancing that dates back to the 15th century. If you ever get the opportunity, you really have to see it.Men and women wearing old-fashioned,

18、 tattered (褴褛的) clothing dance in the streets of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods. Women wear long, frilly (有褶皱边的) skirts and men wear short trousers with bells attached to them. They dance to traditional folk music which is often played on traditional musical instrum

19、ents.Some groups carry heavy black sticks which they bash (击打) against each other while they dance. Other groups wave handkerchiefs in the air whilst they perform. The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when its over, the dancers and spectators (观众) can sing some traditional folk songs

20、over a pint of beer. The festivities (欢庆) will often continue long into the night, by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again.Morris dancing is a great English tradition but its facing a big crisis. As the years go by, fewer and fewer young people are joining morris dan

21、cing groups. The dancers are getting older and older and eventually, if nothing is done to change this trend, the tradition will die out within the next few decades.If youve ever had the fortune to see morris dancing, you may understand why teenagers arent rushing to sign up. Putting it bluntly (直截了

22、当地), its not exactly the coolest thing for an 18-year-old to be doing. Why dress up in bells and funny costumes when you could be going clubbing (逛夜店)? Or playing sport? Or doing anything else?However, it would be a great shame to lose such a fun and vibrant (有活力的) part of Englands history and cultu

23、re. Its important to look after some traditions and customs especially when its something as harmless and happy as morris dancing.

People prefer to dance till nighttime in pubs and then stop to drink beers.26. What crisis is morris dancing facing?A. There is a lack of professional dancers.B. It

26、 is losing appeal among young people.C. It is accused of lacking fun and variety.D. Its traditions and customs have been forgotten.27. What is the authors attitude toward morris dancing?A. It is a good way for people to stay healthy and positive.B. It is a cultural heritage that deserves more attent

27、ion.C. It is too old-fashioned and needs to be improved.D. It is fun and vibrant and every teenager should learn to do it.CRunning is often tiring and a lot of hard work, but nothing beats the feeling you get after finishing a long workout around the track (跑道).But while its long been believed that

28、endorphins (脑内啡) chemicals in the body that cause happiness are behind the so-called “runners high”, a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew.According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemica

29、ls called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice.Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise, along with many other chemicals. After exercising on running

30、wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.But after being given a drug to block their endorphins, the mices behavior didnt seem to change. However, when their endocannabinoids were blocked with a different drug, their runners high symptoms seemed to fade.“The long-h

31、eld notion of endorphins being responsible for the runners high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog Lifehacker.Similar studies are yet to be carried out

32、on humans, but its already well known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.The UKs National Health Service even prescribes (开药方) exercise to patients who are suffering from depression.“Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off bei

33、ng more active. Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and its especially useful for people with mild to moderate (中等的) depression,” it wrote on its website.It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we dont fully understand where it comes

34、from. At least if were feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running shoes.28. What did scientists from German universities recently discover?A. Working out is a highly effective way to treat depression.B. The runners high could be caused by endocannabinoids.C. Endorphins may co

35、ntribute to ones high spirits after running.D. The level of endorphins and endocannabinoids could affect ones mood.29. The scientists gave mice drugs in their experiment to _.A. find what reduces the runners high symptomsB. see the specific symptoms of the runners highC. identify what is responsible

37、ressionB. can help ease depression symptomsC. only work for those with serious depressionD. can help people completely recover from depressionDFor the longest time, I thought successful parenting in general would look something like this:At least two healthy and happy children involved in a variety

38、of out-of-school activities. No McDonalds. Screen time? Minimal. Languages? They would speak three, just like my husband and me.As for me, I would be a stay-at-home mother with a sense of professional fulfillment. I would prepare organic home-cooked meals for my children. My husband and I would make

39、 time for regular date nights.Once I became a parent and experienced life with a kid for a couple of years, I realized I had to change my expectations.I understood this when my son, who was not yet at school, told us he would only be wearing superhero T-shirts from now on.Another clue came after a d

40、ate with my husband. Nowadays, my vision of a perfect date night is watching movies with my husband. We do try to get out of the house from time to time, but not to eat out in fancy restaurants. Working parents know how much it takes to run a household with young children. So I felt like I needed to

41、 slow things down and find a better life balance.As it turns out, being a stay-at-home parent has done wonders for the familys wellbeing. But it wasnt easy. We had to sell our car. We rented our apartment to increase our income.So my vision of success has evolved. I realize that “successful parentin

42、g” has nothing to do with how many languages your child speaks. It doesnt matter if your kid likes the Hulk. As a society, we are so focused on performance. We put so many expectations not only on ourselves as parents, but also on our children. All my husband and I can do is try our best to raise a

43、healthy, confident and kind child.Ive finally realized that being a “successful mother” means doing my best, not what family, friends and society in general expect of me. I just need to love hard and provide a safe and healthy space for my family to flourish (茁壮成长). Revising my view of successful pa

44、renting has taken a couple of years. Actually, I dont think I even want to use the term “successful mother” anymore. I just want to be a mother. I am a mother.And I am enough.32.
