11、ual or non-competitive activities like biking，running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them

25、per.D. The Internet.CIn some places around the world, you can find bright green balls of moss ( 苔藓 ) scattered across glaciers, which, surprisingly, move all at about the same speeds and in the same directions.The glacier moss balls are commonly called “glacier mice”, and were the subject of a recen

26、t study published online in Polar Biology this month. The studys authors believe that they develop from impurities ( 杂质 ) on ice surfaces. “Theyre not attached ( 黏附 ) to anything and theyre just resting there on ice,” said one of the authors. “Theyre bright green in a world of white.”The moss balls

27、dont stay at rest for long, though. They moved about 2.5 centimeters per day on average. Another one of the studys authors pointed out that movement is a necessity for the glacier moss balls because the entire surface of the ball must occasionally get exposed to the sun. “These things must actually

28、roll around or else that moss on the bottom would die,” she said.Glacier mice have ever been spotted in Alaska, Iceland, Svalbard and South America, but scientists still have a lot to learn about them.One of the biggest questions is why the moss balls, which can live for at least six years, move the

29、 way they do. The researchers tried to explain this strange phenomenon in many ways.First, they thought the balls had rolled downhill, but later found that they werent going down a slope ( 斜坡 ). Then, they thought the wind was blowing them in consistent directions. But when they measured the dominan

30、t direction of the wind, that didnt explain it either. And finally, they considered the sun, which melts the ice and may make the moss balls move, but the direction of incoming solar radiation wasnt in the direction which the balls were going in. Still confused with this problem, the researchers sai

31、d that they hope that one day, future generations will “get to the bottom of these great mysteries”.28. What interests the researchers most?A. The discovery of glacier mice.B. The development of impurities.C. The distribution of glacier moss. D. The movement of glacier moss balls.29. Which of the fo

32、llowing is TRUE about Glacier mice?A. They can move fast.B. They are attached to ice.C. They move so as to keep alive.D. They move from other places to glaciers.30. How does the author explain the unusual way the glacier mice move?A. By drawing maps and making analysis.B. By making assumptions and d

33、oing research.C. By doing experiments and presenting reports.D. By making comparison and setting down general rules31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Wind blows Glacier mice to move.B. The direction of sunlight helps Glacier mice.C. Scientists leave these mysteries to future generation

34、s.D. It remains a puzzle why the glacier moss balls move in this way.DTodays world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for success is persistence (毅力), a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered

35、 that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achiev

36、ement in school.“There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers,” Padilla-Walker said. “This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence which can be taught are key to a childs life success.”Researchers determined that dads need to practice an “auth

37、oritative” parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stresse

38、d; children are given an appropriate level of autonomy (自主权).In the study, about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence, which

39、leads to better outcomes in school.This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research.32. What is special about the BYU prof

40、essors study?A. It centered on fathers role in parenting.B. It was based on a number of large families.C. It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.D. It aimed to improve kids achievement in school.33. What would an authoritative father do when raising his children?A. Ignore their demands.B. M

41、ake decisions for them.C. Control their behaviors.D. Explain the rules to them.34. Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers?A. Single parents.B. Children aged from 11 to 14.C. Authoritarian fathers.D. Mothers in two-parent homes.35. Which of the following is the best

42、 title for the text?A. Three Characteristics of Authoritative FathersB. Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in FutureC. Children Tend to Learn Determination from FatherD.

44、p day. And the entire 12 month period with a February 29 in it is called a leap year. This year, 2020, is such a year.In a leap year, the dates jump over one day of the week. Let me explain. In 2017, the last day of the year, December 31, fell on a Sunday. In 2018, it fell on a Monday. In 2019, it f

45、ell on a Tuesday. But in 2020, December 31 will fall on a Thursday.37_The reason for a leap day or a leap year is because our calendar does not follow the Earths orbit around the sun exactly. 38._So every four years, we put all that time together into an extra day or, what is officially called anint

46、ercalary(闰)day. “Leap” is also an important word for two other common American expressions. 39._If you want someone to investigate a situation completely before taking action, you might say, “Look before you leap.” The other expression is a phrase of hope. Urging someone to “take a leap of faith” in

47、vites the person to take action, even if not everything about a situation is known. Interestingly, both phrases are completely reasonable to say to someone who is about to get married. 40 ._Leap years were believed to be difficult, and leap days unlucky and a bad time to begin anything new.
